The game is notable in its use of color vector graphics and its digitized speech replicating famous lines from the movie. It was followed in the arcades by ''Star Wars: Return Of The Jedi'' (which used an isometric diagonal-scrolling perspective similar to ''VideoGame/{{Zaxxon}}'') and ''Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back'' (which was a conversion kit for this game).
