Who knows, there is a chance that the tech behind the Sonic Free Riders Kinectless Patch, could be used to make Kinect Star Wars playable without the Kinect. It made Free Riders an enjoyable and playable experience, one which allowed people to actually understand what the game was really like. So who knows, if there is enough push for it, someone might be able to re-work the Kinectless Patch for Free Riders to work with any Kinect game. Though the Free Riders patch only really happened due to it being the last game in the series, and one many people never got the chance to play. Not to mention that as a Sonic game there is already a large community surrounding making the game better, the modding/hacking/decompilation community for Sonic is completely unrivaled in its capability. You would probably have to ask Rei-San the creator of the “No Kinect Patch” if there was any way to use the tools for it with other Kinect games. Of course you would also need a good enough computer to run Xenia and the game itself in order to experience it, so that would still be a bit of a problem for most people.

Always liked this game. Kinect games had a well earned reputation for having clunky, unresponsive controls for your body movements. Not saying this one was perfect in that regard, but as Kinect titles go, it was one of the best when it came to responsive control. As a southpaw I was extra impressed it lets you pick which hand you want for your lightsaber and which hand for force powers. Kudos for pointing out how the dance part of this game is supposed to be a fun, not take yourself so seriously joke for Star Wars fans. People legit thought this was supposed to be a serious dance side-minigame and so they cited it as a cringe cash grab. It really does deserve a 2nd chance.

Agreed that there's a fair bit of hyperbole behind the assignment of the "one of the worst games ever" label, something KST has attracted a fair amount of in spite of seemingly being more mediocre than outright awful. Regardless it was an unsubstantial and underwhelming title released during a period when Lucasarts was facing decline in terms of both sales and artistic merits, although it did sell well heavily contrary to the critical reception. After the Prequel films wrapped up games, or any form of media beyond Clone Wars really, that took full advantage of the Star Wars world were in short supply, even less so than today, so to a fan of the franchise the Kinect game did feel like a bit of a Diablo Immortal situation at the time. Can't say I'd pick it up now either, there's so much better Star Wars stuff in terms of both gameplay and story.
