IGN put together this super-cool montage of every Star Wars video game ever made. It’s fun to see not only how video game technology has evolved over the years, but how the medium has helped to expand the Star Wars universe.

And there’s no better medium for letting you dive in and become an active player in a fictional world than video games.

- And everyone’s favorite Deadpool character, Negasonic Teenage Warhead, will have some more independence in the sequel. “She is not my trainee anymore,” said Stefan Kapicic, who plays Colossus. “She definitely has approached the new level of X-Men as you can see.
