A good collection...
...but where is Force Commander? Yes I know, it's been ripped apart in the reviews. But there was something about Force Commander that I actually enjoyed. Maybe the rock&roll Imperial March, maybe the true 3D battlefields? I say the death knell for that game, was the limited unit supply. But FC was also one of the first 3D RTS games, so errors were made, that hopefully will be corrected sometime.
Rebellion is a game that has a depth of play, that is rarely seen. But that might put some off, because it is not a standard "pick a side -> build a base and train/ drop your troops -> destroy the opposition" style game. Star Wars Rebellion is a thinking strategy game (I know all TTS/ RTS need the player to think on how to best use his units (except for Dark Colony, where even the 'long range' units stormed into the fray), but this game is on a higher level than the average). This is not a StarCraft/Age of Empires clone. That is the next one:
Galactic Battlegrounds is literally Age of Empires with Star Wars sprites and a Star Wars storyline. Easy to get into and easy to play. Enjoy.
Empire at War has a different approach: There are planetary battles (your standard RTS gameplay) and orbital battles, with some space debris to hinder or support your units, depending on how you use it. I consider it to be 2.5D, because the space maps have a limited roll, but no 360 degree full circle turning.
All these games are worth having and playing. I just wish Force Commander was also included (your brother in jail is still your brother, right?) and that whoever made FC, had included more units.
