Star Wars: Return of the Jedi – Death Star Battle is a third-person action video game based on the film Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi. Published an developed by Parker Brothers, it was one of the first Star Wars games to be created. It was released on September 1, 1983, for the video game consoles Atari 2600 and Atari 5200. The 5200 version is a port of the 2600 version and contains better graphics. Return of the Jedi – Death Star Battle was also made available for Atari 8-bit and ZX Spectrum, two types of home computers.

The goal of the game is to destroy the antagonistic Galactic Empire's Death Star, a superweapon and space station, before the construction of it finishes. In order to reach the Death Star, the player must first battle a swarm of TIE fighters. After shooting down all of them, the player approaches the station by entering through one of the openings in its energy shield. The player then begins firing lasers towards the Death Star (while avoiding counter attacks by the Death Star's Death Ray) to destroy the outer parts of it. Once the energy core in the middle of the Death Star is in reach, one fires a quick shot at it and the whole station explodes. The player must then avoid avoid collision with the debris of the station while flying away. If successful, the game restarts with an increased difficulty. The difficulty may also be selected before starting the game.
