Star Wars Episode I: Jedi Power Battles Remaster
Release Date: January 23, 2025
A remaster of the 2000 action game from PS1, based on the Star Wars: The Phantom Menace movie. Star Wars Episode I: Jedi Power Battles offers platforming levels and combat involving lightsabers & Jedi powers. We can fight alone or with a friend in co-op mode.
On the occasion of the 25th anniversary of Star Wars Episode I: Jedi Power Battles, originally released on PS1 in 2000 by HotGen Studios, the producer Aspyr in cooperation with Lucasfilm Games has refurbished this action game. The main new features of the remaster are modern controls and a cooperative mode for two people on a shared screen.
The action in Star Wars Episode I: Jedi Power Battles is based on a movie Star Wars: The Phantom Menace. Due to the blockade of the planet Naboo by the Trade Federation, Jedi monks are sent with an order to resolve the conflict. Crossing the swamps, the city of Theed, the desert Tatooine or Coruscant, they fight battles with droids and other enemies.
In Star Wars Episode I: Jedi Power Battles we are dealing with uncomplicated action gameplay, in which platforming stages are combined with fights using lightsabers (capable of deflecting enemy projectiles) and Jedi powers. Depending on the chosen character (Mace Windu, Captain Panaka, battle droid), we have different skills. Thanks to the experience gained through victorious battles fought on ten different levels, we learn new moves.
Star Wars Episode I: Jedi Power Battles features plenty of boss fights and additional mini-games. The remastered edition includes modern controls, thirteen newly unlocked characters from the start, all available levels, and combat and training modes introduced in later editions of the game.
The remaster of Star Wars Episode I: Jedi Power Battles has a “couch” co-op mode for two players.
Graphics in Star Wars Episode I: Jedi Power Battles are full of rough angles. We look at the three-dimensional world of the game in an isometric view.

Game Ratings for Star Wars Episode I: Jedi Power Battles Video Game.
TheSixthAxis: 5 / 10 by Gareth Chadwick
What Jedi Power Battles really needed was a remake, not a remaster, so that the gameplay could be brought up to something worth playing in this decade. If you want to be a Jedi these days there are way, way better options out there.
XboxEra: 7 / 10 by Győző Baki
Arm yourself with patience, however, as many game mechanics are a bit undercooked and unprecise, with a lot of bizarre level designs and features that didn’t quite receive the polish they needed, and that this remaster hardly really improved upon. As a quite minimal upgrade to a forgotten but solid game, clearly this one’s for the hardcore fans, who can jump back to the similarly flawed but enjoyable prequel trilogy’s beginnings.
Thumb Wars: 3 / 5 by Luke Addison
Aspyr has done enough with Star Wars Episode I: Jedi Power Battles to warrant the remaster, giving it a fresh lick of paint, tighter controls, accessibility through the wazoo, and a bit more besides, but performance problems, lacking story and audio that keeps cutting out do tarnish the experience somewhat.
Average score from votes.
