Has Star Wars Been Failed by Videogames?

The folks at Guardian Unlimited have posted a new editorial that proposes the question, "Has Star Wars Been Failed by Videogames?"
As for videogames and their place in the canon, there will be enough 'best Star Wars games EVER' round-ups to satisfy even the most demanding fan of nostalgic list features. But beneath the arguments over whether Knights of the Old Republic is a better game than Battlefront, I feel there's a more question to be answered - have games ever really captured the essence of the movies? Have they addressed the underlying appeal, the elusive, indefatigable cool of Star Wars? I'm not sure. I'm not even sure anyone has really tried.

Aside from Knights of the Old Republic and Jedi Knight II, I think that's a fair statement.
