Jedi Power Battles
''Star Wars Episode I: Jedi Power Battles'' is an action Star Wars video game set during the time frame of ''Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace''. The game was first released for the PlayStation, and afterwards for the Dreamcast and the Game Boy Advance (the latter under the title ''Star Wars: Jedi Power Battles'').
