Played very little but honestly the controls (and lack of smooth gameplay) is pretty much the only reason I'm rating this very poorly

One of the worst fighting games I've played so far

I remember getting hours of entertainment out of the pizza hut demo disc that contained this game. I think it had two stages and maybe four characters, but that didn’t stop me

I won't say this is a great fighting game ... but it's better than its reputation.
Movement and controls are indeed underwhelming, but graphically it's kinda okay and at least it has the original score. All in all, despite very flawed balancing, I had fun playing it with the different characters.

Despite it being known as that bad Star Wars PS1 fighter that lead Capcom to develop their own sci-fi fighter, due to licensing, this is not that bad. Does seem like LucasArts studied up on the fighting games around the time, clearly Tekken-inspired with the title and original character Arden Lyn literally rocking an iron fist. While it can't grapple with the best at the time, getting a hold of the movelist did open my eyes, it's kinda fun and playable even. The lack of FMV endings is disappointing, but John Williams' score is everywhere in this and the Star Wars universe is represented in an aesthetically pleasing way that the PS1 uniquely provides. We also had this game when I was younger, so that does play a part in my enjoyment.

Edit: Ok, apparently there's endings in this, very vague information online about how to get them though. I played it on easy so that might have been why I didn't get one on my playthrough?
