Can Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order help fans feel the Force?

Respawn Entertainment's forthcoming Star Wars video game, developed in close collaboration with Lucasfilm, hopes to capture the spirit of the films

In 1983, millions of unsold cartridges of the Atari game ET The Extra Terrestrial were secretly buried in a concrete-covered landfill in Alamogordo, New Mexico. Thanks to extremely rushed development and alleged interference from Universal Pictures, the movie tie-in was one of the worst video games ever made, and a mass grave was the only option for the poor, unwanted cartridges.

Unfortunately, like movies adapted from games, games adapted from movies are often bad. (There are exceptions: 1997's 2D sidescrolling interpretation of Disney's Hercules on PlayStation brought me more joy than most recent games.)
