Aspyr’s next Star Wars remaster brings the classic Episode I: Jedi Power Battles back with enhanced gameplay this January.
The collaboration between Aspyr and Lucasfilm Games continues as the latest retrogaming remaster has been revealed. To celebrate the impending 25th anniversary of the game’s release, fans will soon be able to enjoy Star Wars Episode I: Jedi Power Battles on their console of choice!
This is a fun one, and we actually spotlighted it on our YouTube channel with a playthrough to celebrate The Phantom Menace‘s 20th anniversary a few years ago. As such, I’m pretty excited to see how this remaster plays when it hits in January.

Use the power of the Force and your trusty lightsaber against legions of droids, assassins, and other legendary foes as you fight through iconic locations from STAR WARS: Episode I – The Phantom Menace like Theed Palace and more.
