Description

This title is quite a bit different from the other two Star Wars arcade games. The other titles had 3D vector graphics, while this title uses isometric perspective raster graphics. This game made heavy use of scene changes to attempt to bring a little bit of the movie to the small screen, often switching back and forth between sequences fairly quickly. All the scenes run on the same engine, and are controlled in very similar manners. Or in other words one scene may be all ewoks, speeder bikes, and trees, while the next will be spaceships and the Death Star, but it is really just the same thing with different graphics. The main game scenes are the Forest Moon of Endor and the Death Star. The Death Star scenes always have you controlling the Millennium Falcon, while the Endor scenes feature both Princess Leia on a speeder bike and Chewbacca piloting an At-ST (the At-ST is the two legged Imperial walker, Chewie ended up with one of these near the end of the film somehow). The Ewoks in this game look more evil than cute, which may have been accidental, or it could have been some sort of subtle backlash at George Lucas for putting Ewoks in the movie in the first place.
