To get any gamer into their own personal Star Wars adventures easier and faster than ever before, the game's first 30 levels have been completely redesigned with a simplified user interface and a fast-action combat system. The Starter Kit allows players to explore the most dangerous planets of the Star Wars galaxy taking on the roles of the famous iconic heroes - from bounty hunter to smuggler.

Highlights:

Welcome to the Universe! You have enjoyed watching the Star Wars universe for years - now it is your chance to live that universe, to fight alongside Han Solo and Chewbacca, to smuggle goods for Jabba the Hutt, to defend Imperial stations from the ravages of the Rebels.

The Galactic Civil War rages on throughout space, as well as on the ground below. Rebel commanders fight for control against Imperial garrisons, trying desperately to sway allegiances and control the planet. Hard-fought battles rage on, with ownership of cities, in fact of whole worlds, held in balance. There is a constant ebb and flow in every war, and worlds change hands from day to day between Imperial and Rebel control.

This is the universe that you have entered...one that is long ago an far away.
