KOTOR. TIE Fighter's a great space sim, but a lot of the later campaigns felt damn repetitive with them throwing waves of TIE Avengers and Defenders at you.
While I prefer X-Wing, Tie Fighter had better production values, but it's not the best Star War game to date. That game is Jedi Knight II - with the realistic saber mode enabled of course.
This depends on what you want from a Star War game however; since Battlefront II is a pretty damn good time and lets you fart around as people and in vehicles (including Hoth), but it sucks if you're only left with bots - which is probably what you'll be if you play it now.
Republic Commando is up there as well, although it's a bit clunky at times.
I was going to say that but then I saw KOTOR and I remembered that KOTOR is my most favorite game of any genre, I personally feel Battlefront 1 was better, 2 got a little too insane with the jedi, space battles and weapon unlocks, it was a ton of fun though.
When you think about it... Star Wars has spawned some pretty fucking good games (Note: Rogue Squadron 2 is not one of those games). Even the 'bad' ones (SW Force Commander, SW Supremacy) weren't that bad though.
KOTOR is best, then KOTOR 2. People will tell you TIE Fighter was the best SW space combat game - and it was great - but those people are still wrong. X-Wing Alliance was better.
If you remake the poll don't forget the Jedi Knight/Dark forces games, the Rebel Assault games, the original arcade game, and my multiplayer favorite X-wing vs. Tie fighter. Feel free to "accidentally" forget pod racer.
You missed quite a few awesome star wars games. Jedi Outcast? Republic Commando? Although I would have still picked KOTOR because its in my top 10 games of all time.

It's alright. People can throw out another game and I'll tally it up at the end of it all.
You forgot Podracer. Podracer is the correct answer. It alone (almost) makes the tragic movie its associated with worth the damage it did to the franchise.
" @FixerofDeath: Did you like it? Most people I talked to thought it was meh. I thought it was OK. "
Its in my top 10 games. Its not neccessarily the best game I've played gameplay wise, but it has some of the best characters and character interaction I've ever seen in a video game. It also spawned a whole book series which is great.
The old republic in about a year :). Prolly Kotor though, the first was a great nod to the original series while still being incredibly original and the sequel was great for kreia alone.
why do people like republic commando so much? i mean, i enjoyed it, but the very core mechanic bothered me so much. The shooting was horribly weak in that game. With a game based on shooting things, i'd expect the guns to feel more impactful like i'm actually kicking ass with them, not shooting needles and peas. and having a teen rating is not an excuse.
I do appreciate how the game tried to differentiate itself from being that star wars game with guns and no lightsabers, thanks to interesting art direction. But then the story lacked conclusion and cohesion, and for a first game in the franchise, the "cliff-hanger" really was unforgiving.
