I actually like the games a lot more than the movies. The nature of Star Wars has pushed gaming technology many times, thanks to LucasArts and its deep pockets.
X-Wing, TIE Fighter - GREAT space sims, untouchable for years.
Jedi Knight II - Excellent blending of an FPS with a third-person lightsaber game...still the best lightsaber combat system out there...a great game in general.
Rogue Squadron - Great flight/space fighter from Factor 5...too bad skinning the ships as dragons didn't work out.
KOTOR - Obviously, Bioware makes great RPGs, and KOTOR I and II are groundbreaking examples.
Force Unleashed - New game coming out soon that has the new Euphoria character animation along with DMM particle system, which cause items to shake and break like they should, such as throwing someone onto a sheet of plywood, causing it to splinter correctly, meanwhile that character's AI intelligently grabs onto what he can to stay alive.
But of course all these games are simply fun as well, which is the more important thing.

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release. (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )
