YMMV / Kinect Star Wars

• Just Here for Godzilla: Most of the game's notoriety comes from the Galactic Dance Off mode, where several characters from the franchise perform dance moves to songs which are Star Wars parodies of existing ones. "I'm Han Solo" (a parody of "Ridin Solo") is the most popular out of the aforementioned songs.
• Memetic Mutation: Of all the Galactic Dance Off songs, "I'm Han Solo" has proven to be the most enduring as an in-joke among Star Wars fans, with it seeing a resurgence of attention around the release of Solo.
• Narm: The Galactic Dance Off Mode is the highlight of the game... for all the wrong reasons. Seeing Star Wars Characters dance to terrible song parodies is absurd on too many levels that players and fans cannot find much enjoyment for the game, even if for ironic reasons.
• So Bad, It's Good: The Galactic Dance Off mode was considered most infamous to critics and Star Wars fans due to the characters being Out of Character by dancing to a mount of Star Wars themed parodies of popular songs from The '70s, The '80s, The '90s, The 2000s & The New '10s. Who jovially wants to see Darth Vader & Palpatine breakdancing to a deadmau5 song?
• So Okay, It's Average: The game received mixed reviews; reviewers often praised the game's art and presentation but had complaints about the perceived underdeveloped gameplay, weak writing, and inaccurate controls.
• They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot: Coupled with a misleading trailer, many players assumed that the game would be an Action Game that would incorporate the Kinect's motion controls to allow the player to feel as though they are indeed use the Force and be a Jedi Knight. However, this part of the gameplay was secondary to the game's other features of dime-a-dozen minigames, and even then the controls were far too poor to make it enjoyable. Many players feel it would have been infinitely better if the game simply focused only on the Jedi part of the game and expanded it even further, along with refining the controls to make the Jedi-Game even better. It likely wouldn't have been a perfect game, but it certainly would have been better and more fondly remembered than the memetically terrible shovelware we got instead.
