Indeed. You really should play the first one, the second one was more or less incomplete (made complete by Team Gizka's ressurection project). It's great fun. I play both 1 and 2 at least once a year, maybe even twice a year.
Anyone who hasn't tried any of the two games has really missed out. Although there's a couple of bugs here and there they are some of the best games ever mad. And you know, it's a star wars game that is really good, so win win win! Go play it.
