LucasArts shovels out a lot of crap using the Star Wars license but they've published some great games. These are the ones I've played.
1) Knights of the Old Republic - Captures the essence of Star Wars better than the prequels. Great ensemble of characters, music, story, and rpg goodness.
2) Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast - I spent hours playing the multiplayer . Best use of the light saber in a video game to date. Chopping off the hands of Stormtroopers never got old.
3) Rogue Squadron - A fun assortment of missions and ships. Plenty of re-playability. There is nothing better than shooting TIE fighters out of the sky to Stars Wars music.
4) LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy - Whimsical fun. Surprisingly funny. Co-op is a blast.
5) TIE Fighter - Fighting for the Imperials is evil and fun. Die Rebel SCUM!
6) Star Wars: Republic Commando - Loved breaching doors. Had a simple yet tactical twist on the FPS genre.
7) Empire at War - A good transfer of Star Wars into the RTS genre. A bit casual but I'm not into the hardcore RTS. Space combat was a highlight.
8) Dark Forces - Reminded you to not mess with Stormtroopers.
9) The Force Unleashed - Good story. The actual gameplay was weak.
10) Star Wars Trilogy Arcade - Good times.

You sir are wrong, because Star Wars Galaxies is the best Star Wars game ever.
Even if it was just a SW-themed grindfest. IT WAS STILL THE FUCKING BEST EVER AND ALWAYS WILL BE.
I've always liked the Star Wars universe [never been big on any of the films in particular but I just enjoy the setting] but that's rarely translated into me enjoying the games. I do really like KOTOR; I've been meaning to try the second one for a while now, maybe some day. I also enjoy the LEGO games, although that seems like the kind of series where you pick the franchise that you like the most and hope it's represented pretty well by the LEGO whimsy; for me so far that would be Batman, although Star Wars allows for some pretty neat force power stuff.
Also aren't those SNES action platformer games mildly popular? I was always really terrible at them as a kid, don't know if I would find them impossible now but I'm sure they're still hard.
To this day, Republic commando is my favourite single player campaign in any fps. Brilliant game.
Also i totally agree on KOTOR being no.1 ;)
