4Developed by Creator/BeamSoftware for [[Creator/{{LucasArts}} Lucasfilm Games]] and published by JVC, ''Star Wars'' is a 1991 Platform/NintendoEntertainmentSystem based on the film ''Film/ANewHope''. Unlike ''VideoGame/StarWarsNamco'', it is a lot more faithful to the source in question. It was ported a year later to the Platform/GameBoy, and in 1993 on the Platform/SegaMasterSystem and Platform/GameGear.

6!!This game contains examples of:
7
8* AdaptedOut: As with Namco's ''Star Wars'' game, Grand Moff Tarkin is nowhere to be found, despite being the film's BigBad.
9* BottomlessPits: In the Death Star, there are bottomless pits in the Tractor Beam boss fight and the Dianoga boss fight, in the form of sewage.
10* EternalEngine: It's the setting for inside the Death Star. Inside the base is some of the most dangerous foes you have faced.
11* FallDamage: Your playable character will take fall damage if they fall a certain height. The further the fall, the more damage they take.
12* GameOverMan: Darth Vader appears on the Game Over screen if the player decides to not to continue or once all continues are used up.
13* InvincibleMinorMinion: Quite a few enemies are invulnerable and are best avoided. An example would be the Tripod gunners on the Death Star.
14* JumpPhysics: Jumping is extremely floaty in this game. It is very difficult to control your character's jump mid-flight.
15* KilledOffForReal: If you somehow didn't get Obi-Wan, if either Han or Leia are defeated, they're dead for real.
16* OutOfContinues: If Han Solo or Leia are defeated and there are no charges left to revive either, they're gone for good.
17* PointOfNoReturn: Once you leave Tatooine through the Millennium Falcon, you cannot go back. You better check every cave before you head to Mos Eisley.
18* RiseToTheChallenge: During the battle with the Dianoga, the sewage will slowly be rising. You need to be quick before it kills your character.
19* SpikesOfDoom: They are everywhere in the last level in the Death Star level. Touching them will cause your character to recoil and take a lot of damage.
20* TheUnfought: Darth Vader is never fought once in the game.
21* UndergroundLevel: The caves of Tatooine are full of dangerous creatures, Tusken Raiders and Sand People. Be careful, as the latter two pack quite a punch if they collide into Luke!
