Codenames or working titles have a long history with Star Wars films and shows but something we feel isn’t widely known are the Star Wars game codenames. Some are quite interesting and just fun pieces of info. So, we thought we’d put together a list containing the project codenames for every single upcoming Star Wars game as well as the past decade’s worth of games including cancelled titles.
It is important to note that not every codename, in fact the majority, have no connection in relation to these games. We know from those familiar with the matter that some names are picked by people outside of the development team and bear no relevance to the project. That said, it’s fun to learn what the developers refer to the game internally.
