Wouldn't a next gen OT console adaption game be nice?

I looked at some Super Star Wars footage and saw during the intro gameplay scenes the speedcar jumping, Luke shooting jawas, that giant sandcrawler shooting stuff at Luke. I’d like something more PS2 or later era that is a more faithful adaption. Does the OT lend itself to a game? I know there isn’t as much combat as PT so I’m not sure, unless great liberties are taken.

The new Star Wars Battlefront (released last year on PS4, XB1 & PC) is set almost exclusively during the OT. It’s not a movie adaptation, but it often feels like the OT: Tatooine, Hoth, Endor, Jabba’s Palace, Bespin are incredibly realistic!

Han: Hey Lando! You kept your promise, right? Not a scratch?
Lando: Well, what’s left of her isn’t scratched. All the scratched parts got knocked off along the way.
Han (exasperated): Knocked off?!

I wish they’d do the reverse and make a retro-style TFA game (as in Super The Force Awakens or something).

There’s always the Lego Star Wars games…

A Lars’ Moisture Farm simulation would be interesting.

Haggle with Jawas over droids. (Bad motivator lemons cost you.) Fend off the random Tusken Raider attacks. Go to Toshi Station to pick up some power converters. (At least that’s what you tell Beru on Pod Racing night.) Keep Womp Rats from digging where those tombstones used to be. Lie to to Luke when he asks too many questions about dear old dad. (Lose points when the lies are inconsistent.) Chase Obi Wan away every time he’s in the area. Pay Hell when the vaporators on the south ridge aren’t working by mid day. 😉

You laugh but a lot of people thought this was what Star Wars: Galaxies would be and were very excited about it.
