About

This series of games adapts the 1999 film Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace across various genres. It includes the action-adventure game Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace, the high-speed racing game Star Wars Episode I: Racer, the lightsaber combat game Star Wars Episode I: Jedi Power Battles, and the action titles Battle for Naboo and Obi-Wan's Adventures.

LucasArts spearheaded this coordinated software lineup to coincide with the theatrical release of the first prequel film, targeting major platforms of the era including the Nintendo 64, PlayStation, Sega Dreamcast, Game Boy Color, and personal computers. Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace (1999) and the high-speed Star Wars Episode I: Racer (1999)—which received a premium Star Wars Episode I: Racer [Big Box] PC release—anchored the initial product launch.

Development duties were shared between internal LucasArts teams and external studios. Factor 5 co-developed Star Wars Episode I: Battle for Naboo (1999) as a spiritual successor to Star Wars: Rogue Squadron, utilizing its technical engine to render planetary dogfights. For handheld players, HotGen developed Star Wars Episode I: Obi-Wan's Adventures (2000) on the Game Boy Color, translating the narrative into an isometric action format. Meanwhile, Star Wars Episode I: Jedi Power Battles (2000) offered a cooperative arcade-style experience. The lasting nostalgia for this era prompted Limited Run Games to publish Star Wars Episode I: Racer [Classic Edition] (2019), bringing the pod-racing title to modern hardware with physical collector packaging.
