By integrating humour and silly dance minigames, the Kinect Star Wars games demonstrated that the franchise doesn't need to take itself too seriously.

[{"selector":"#anim-eddc1ca6-d60b-4dba-99ba-e4bb7b1ed7af","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-86b922f4-3916-41b5-8d6d-fc58a0d67c8c","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 140.07533%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ed0123f7-984e-4e32-adac-b255308b6686 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

The Star Wars property has given rise to a diverse range of media, including books, movies, and video games. It's not unexpected that Star Wars has a lot of plot material.

[{"selector":"#anim-72b855d1-a0b7-4147-998b-063feb9d0704","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-dc57422f-1586-4d3a-93ea-6cbb90b857a8","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 117.71586%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b2f0b0da-6df4-48dd-9542-66be88dc4b39 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(-7.105427357601002e-15%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

With Kinect Star Wars, Lucasarts took a chance by including some fun game modes that offered a change of pace from the frequently grim stories.

[{"selector":"#anim-090303ed-53b0-40b6-a4ba-0abab256c911","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-afb9bac3-180d-472d-ba0c-9a22dc53abd8","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 119.39736%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-f23b7378-552d-4eb9-9a6f-c45aa82b875e [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(40.21656498677846%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

Jedi Destiny, Rancor Rampage, Podracing, Duels of Fate, and Galactic Dance-off are some of its game modes.

[{"selector":"#anim-d95dda26-b85a-4d9e-9732-81416ff1ba10","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-7ce3211b-388f-45e3-8b57-63eaf459590b","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 126.61499%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ff5ab1a4-ae33-4737-9cac-b95398564a2c [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

While Kinect Star Wars is divisive among players, the main mode, Jedi Destiny, continues the tradition of having a plot with a darker tone.

[{"selector":"#anim-8a7bf980-0367-4838-92ec-f3e13f27d0a9","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-64cd8393-5f1b-4609-9760-a978a7a34633","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 122.79770%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-8391aba0-5681-439e-99f4-b63776d1455e [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(31.38020822034916%, 0, 0) translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.14,.34,.47,.9)","fill":"forwards"}]

Star Wars video games don't have to be always serious; it's good to see some lighthearted moments for a little comic relief, like the Greez cutscene in Jedi: Fallen Order.

[{"selector":"#anim-b8627a9a-78f0-4545-9f07-15dbe2d3bee1","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ddf02af4-de48-45ea-bc39-74eae25064bc","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 117.28768%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-f86f0259-5d99-4bfe-af4c-c94b5935abf8 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(34.249999904429615%, 0, 0) translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.14,.34,.47,.9)","fill":"forwards"}]

Kinect The Galactic Dance-off mode in Star Wars features Han Solo dancing to the tune "I'm Han Solo," which is one of the game's memorable moments for gamers.

[{"selector":"#anim-75315e07-b20d-4a6f-97a8-baf936471b00","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-98915d25-b79c-4a83-9120-c5f047f15fd8","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 120.00777%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-66aed974-5dd8-469c-b43b-222cd4975740 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(22.8673467477848%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

The same risks that Lucasarts took to explore a variety of genres in its games must be taken by Lucasfilm Games.

[{"selector":"#anim-2a07c228-f521-45ee-8794-3a0a89405082","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-bb8e063e-0bd0-46a0-9b55-8b1e8d6c743f","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 126.61499%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-af318704-ed9d-4652-8b91-bfa064bf591e [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(-18.183673317515634%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]
