Plot
A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away...

The greedy Trade Federation stands poised to invade the small planet of Naboo. The only hope for the people of Naboo is a young pilot, a beautiful mercenary, a shifty mechanic and an underhanded pirate who ally to face the invading forces.

Why It Rocks

 * 1) The game is completely faithful to Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace as it doesn't even have a lot of campy moments in this game. The Trade Federation was facing Naboo, who hasn't seen in the film, to begin with.
