A few thoughts on Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds Saga
If commanding armies is the appeal, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim offers a very different but equally deep sink for hours in this galaxy's fantasy cousin. For the era's on-screen war, Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones supplies the battles these campaigns recreate.
The Clone Wars, animated
Galactic Battlegrounds fights the Clone Wars from above, marshalling clones and droids across a strategy map. These bring that same conflict to animated life, the two Clone Wars series across their different styles, the LEGO Droid Tales spin on the saga, and The Bad Batch tracking soldiers through the war's messy aftermath.
The galactic war on the big screen
The game's Clone Campaigns draw straight from Attack of the Clones, then let you refight the era your own way. These are the films that frame the war, the Clone Wars theatrical feature and Attack of the Clones up front, with Empire and Return of the Jedi showing where the long fight against the Empire finally lands.
Take the galaxy to the page
Commanding factions here means learning the politics behind them. These fill in that background in print and beyond, The Approaching Storm leading into the Clone Wars, a Clone Wars tie-in novel, a Star Wars adaptation, and The Force Awakens carrying the conflict on to a new generation. Good company once the battles are won.
