I agree mostly, but a close second for me is the Revenge of the Sith tie-in game. Most people ignored it (2005 wasn’t exactly a high point for movie based video games), but the lightsaber combat blew me away at the time. Looking back on it now, it’s a definitive halfway point between the combat in the Jedi Knight…

Ellowas needs more than one mention in this thing. He makes by far the highest quality models used in these. Also credit is needed for Ganonmaster and Vismund from SFMlab for porting several of his models over to SFM and making them readily available to download.
