It is universally accepted as Star Wars Arcade. I'm not convinced that changing it would clarify things, but I'll acknowledge it.

Frankly, there is an earlier Atari vector-based game known simply as "Star Wars" (starwars), so also calling swa "Star Wars" is going to muddle and confuse things. The inclusion of "Arcade" in the title is enough to differentiate it from the Atari game.

If there's 2 different games have equal game titles, we usually add company info to the title. Or form factor info, like (handheld) or (pinball).

Yeah, the arcade version does not have 'Arcade' in the title, nor is it featured anywhere in the advertising material or cabinet. Arcade is used on the 32X version to hype up the fact that it's an arcade port.

It should just be "Star Wars (Sega)" in MAME
