Forget about being a Jedi, because the coolest part of that franchise has always been a pitched dogfight in the unforgiving vacuum of space while the entire fate of the galaxy hangs in the balance. Star Wars Squadrons looks set to finally scratch that itch, and the end result looks more beautiful than a village of dead Gungans who have recently been introduced to the business end of a lightsaber.
