    I remember playing this game as a kid. There was an NPC on Tattoonie on the streets that yelled “YOU BETTER STAND BACK BECAUSE I’M ABOUT TO SLASH” I whipped out my lightsaber and killed him right there. As he fell to his death he finished his voice line… “I’m about to slash ALL MY PRICES”.

    This game had one of the funniest glitches I've ever seen in a video game, me and my buddy called it the "Anakin Bug" where basically on Tatooine you run and find, then kill Anakins mother early on (If I remember the sequence correctly, might be right after you meet her in the correct order of the level) then Anakin would swoop in out of nowhere and start circling your hitbox in ultra-rapid only stopping momentarily to exclaim "I won't help a murderer like you!" untill finally he dies from either your weapon or getting hit by an NPC's attack as he'd stayed glued to you as you try to traverse more of the map.
    There was another super funny glitch in this game where right before you talk to Anakin on the same level after having found all the podracer parts for him which naturally ends the level, you kill some innocent NPC to trigger the "I won't help a murderer like you!" dialouge again. Then killing ALL the NPC's on the map made Anakin cave in and you could finish the level anyway, good times.. good times.

    When I was young I’d have nightmares about the caged monster on Tatooine. That mission alone had more to do than most Starwars RPGs. It felt very immersive and the ability to do whatever you wanted and change how you complete quests (either pacifist or steamrolling) made the replayability very high. It’s a method of design praised in games like Thief and Deus Ex.

    I have some weirdly fond memories of this game. I got it like 5 years after it was first released at the peak of my teenage Star Wars obsession from somebody who had gotten bored of it. I'm not sure if I ever finished it, on one hand I'm positive I remember that Darth Maul fight but on the other I have a feeling my save was corrupted... But yeah, even then I could tell the developers would have preferred to make a game with an original storyline and RPG elements like choices and consequences, and that's really the saving grace of the whole thing. That and many of the levels being made with so much obvious love. I remember really hating the lightsaber combat though, the blaster bolt blocking felt random as hell, sometimes you would just eat the shots even when you were blocking, and the tank controls meant you couldn't really effectively dodge them either.

    Whoah, hearing some of this NPC dialogue transported me right back to 1999-2000. This game was clunky as hell, but man did it keep me entertained for hours. My favourite thing to do was taking Qui Gon on a GTA-style rampage in Mos Espa (looking at other comments, I can see I'm not alone in this). How long could I last before the guards finally got me? I'd always try to break the game in whatever way I could - hacking my way into rooms instead of using all those damn key cards and maguffin trails. Undoubtedly, some of those levels were so frustrating that they drove me insane. The Gardens of Theed practically broke me until I found a guide for it somewhere online.

    Had this on PC, there’s dialog and music changes if you do go all GTA, I remember on Tattooine people started calling Qui-Gon “Killer”. I also loved the little drunk pod racer guy you needed to help (or not).
    The Courusant level had a glitch that let you skip a bunch of the level by falling off of part of that first landing platform (can’t remember where) and dropping into a later section of the level (the Queen warps down to you, unfortunately). There was a room with a guy in it, if you shot him, he said, “I don’t have to take this abuse” and automatic blasters pop out of the floor!
    Cheat codes were great, you could turn the “heavy blaster” (it was black and fired blue shots) into a freaking rapid-fire cannon (it was the same ammo the droid tanks fired! Not quite spawning a free tank like in GTA, but close enough) invincible mode, give all weapons, character switching… of course at the end the game tallies up all the times you used the cheats (it seemed to count EVERY arm cannon shot) and labels you ”Cheater”. Who cares, it was more fun blowing up half the levels!

But I didn't want to be labeled a cheater in the end credits (because I wanted to prove to my older brother that I could beat that game without cheats). I found a way, where you could enable the gun, and then load into an earlier savegame, before you activated the cheat. It would still be active (it stayed for the entire game session iirc), but you wouldn't be labeled a cheater in the end.

I found that if you took out all the guards first, but by luring them out into the desert one at a time with a force push, you could take out nearly the whole town completely unfettered. Just avoid Jawa's because they knew all. If you did it wrong, Padme and Anakin would say they won't help a filthy murderer. This video made me laugh so hard.

The Theed escort mission was actually one of my favorites, as there were so many hidden areas and nooks, and the ambiance at the time really felt like a city being invaded, at least to 10 year old me.
    And I remember how amazing it felt when kid me discovered a cheat code that wasn't listed on game F A Q's (youtube autodeletes my post when I say the site for some unknown bloody reason, I can only assume the braindead stupid bots think I'm saying the F @ Gundam word), and the feeling of seeing the code I found showing up on the cheats page after I submitted it.

    I used to dominate this game as a kid, but I kept playing it so I could get a good rating at the end.. and I'd get 9 on every level except the first, which was always a 4. I explored the fark outta that level, speed ran it, took it with no damage, did all those things at once, and still couldn't crack a 5 or higher. Proper childhood gamer rage

    Fun fact: If you Force push the guy on Tatooine that says "Stop pooshing me!" enough times he'll just drop dead.
