The Angry Video Game Nerd is back with another epic episode featuring the Star Wars franchise. In this episode, the Nerd takes us through a nostalgic ride of all the best and worst Star Wars games ever released.

The Nerd starts off the episode by reminiscing about his childhood and how Star Wars was such a massive part of it. He talks about how he used to play with Star Wars action figures and re-enact epic battles between the Empire and the Rebel Alliance. With this fond memory in mind, he dives into reviewing some of the earliest Star Wars games ever made.

The Nerd reviews games like the original Star Wars arcade game by Atari, which had amazing graphics for its time, followed by the classic NES Star Wars games which were pixelated but still had some charm to them. The Nerd, without any spoilers, talks about how these games were made and how they fared well with Star Wars fanatics.

The Nerd then moves on to review some of the worst Star Wars games ever made, and boy are they disasters. The Nerd talks about games like Star Wars: Yoda Stories, which was basically a point and click adventure game set in the Star Wars universe, and was so bad that the Nerd starts contemplating if it was even a game at all.

Then the Nerd brings up the infamously bad Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace video game. The Nerd talks about how the game was rushed to release before the movie hit theaters, and how this caused some of the worst game design decisions in gaming history. The Nerd doesn't hold back, and criticizes the game for its clunky controls, terrible AI, and lack of an interesting story.

The Nerd also reviews the Star Wars: Kinect game, which was developed for the Xbox 360 console. The Nerd starts off by saying how he hates motion control games and how they take the fun out of gaming. He then proceeds to show us gameplay of the Kinect game, where he is seen swaying his arms around to move his character in the game. The Nerd criticizes the game for its terrible handling of the Kinect hardware and lack of precision when it comes to executing moves.

Towards the end of the episode, the Nerd gives a detailed review of the latest Star Wars games to have been released in recent years. The Nerd talks about games like Star Wars: Battlefront II and Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, both of which were praised by critics and fans alike. The Nerd highlights the improvements these games made over the earlier poorly developed games and how they were successful in bridging the gap between movies and games.

Overall, the Star Wars episode of the Angry Video Game Nerd is a must-watch for anyone who is a fan of Star Wars and games. The Nerd's passion for both the franchise and gaming is apparent throughout the episode, as he takes us on a journey of the hits and misses of the Star Wars gaming universe. The Nerd's sarcastic and sometimes crass humour makes the episode a fun watch, without taking away from the informative content of the review. So grab a bowl of popcorn and a drink, and get ready to embark on a journey through the galaxy far, far away with the one and only Angry Video Game Nerd.
