The announcement trailer shows that Aspyr did a solid jobmaking the best out of the new technologies available, with graphics that stay familiar but are decently improved thanks to revamped character models.
The developers took the time to smooth over some issues the original PS1 title had, like theclunky jump animations, occasionally unbalanced fights, and lackluster menus.
Classic cheatcodesand Easter Eggs will be making a return, which is a lovely touch for a remaster that hinges on nostalgia to thrive.
Almost Perfect
Aspyr Mediahas been in the trenches of Star Wars ports for a long time now.The company has had mixed successin its ports.
In 2021, it scored a resounding win withStar Wars: Knights of the Old Republicand repeated the feat with the 2024 relaunch ofStar Wars: Bounty Hunter(no doubt aided by the popularity of theMandalorianseries).

The game was canceled last month as EA laid off 5% of its workforce.
Thecatastrophic relaunch of the classicStar Wars: Battlefronttitles has moderately tainted the Aspyr Star Wars legacy. The gameplaystayed the same, butthe company dropped the ball with the server infrastructure, a capital sin for games that thrive on multiplayer.
Home But Not Alone
LikeKOTORandBounty Hunter,Jedi Power Battlesis insulated by its local nature. The game will allow for couch multiplayer but Aspyr has clarified that this is strictly local. On the good side,players can go through the entire campaign together.
Star Wars Episode I: Jedi Power Battlesis set to retail at $19.99, in line with other classic ports. The wave of high-end remasters from the Star Wars line is encouraging, and leaves you wishing thatUbisoftwould play these to remember how to make a good Star Wars game.
