Star Wars: X-Wing (video game)
Canon Linked from 501 articles
The Star Wars: X-Wing computer game is the first LucasArts PC game set in the Star Wars universe. Benefiting from the renewed interest in Star Wars sparked by Timothy Zahn's The Thrawn Trilogy and building on the popularity of flight simulation software (Lawrence Holland's three previous World War II air combat games had all been huge successes for LucasArts), X-Wing achieved what few subsequent Star Wars games could by being critically acclaimed, embraced by fans and a financial success. Players assumed the role of Keyan Farlander, a young pilot in the Rebel Alliance, and were given the opportunity to pilot the eponymous X-wing, as well as the Y-wing, and the A-wing, in a number of key battles leading up to the Battle of Yavin.
