Last week, in honor of Star Wars Celebration and the premiere of Disney+'s Obi-Wan Kenobi series, we asked you to help us decide which video game from that galaxy far, far away was the best of them all.

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order was not only a very well received game (we gave it a 9/10!) that features
