You're facing a common issue when connecting different display types. The Star Wars game is expecting a specific resolution (1600x900) and refresh rate (60Hz), but your setup has a 60Hz monitor with a different refresh rate setting. Try adjusting the monitor's settings to match the game's requirements or consider using a compatible external display.

Does the laptop lack an internal screen connection entirely? Even if the screen is damaged, it might try to identify it for repairs. It’s conceivable the device is misinterpreting the situation, as laptops can behave unpredictably.

It functioned properly before I attempted to start the game, so it’s unlikely that was the cause.

Alright, it should function properly, but the game attempted to adjust the display refresh rate or resolution, which caused Windows to become unstable. As an external monitor, this likely triggered a setting conflict either in the resolution or refresh rate configuration within Windows, probably due to a missing internal display. I've resolved a comparable problem before. You might also attempt disconnecting the external monitor from the computer while it's powered on; it should automatically detect and set the correct resolution if the issue lies with the external display rather than your internal one.

I attempted that after swapping the monitor with another identical model, which resolved the issue, but once I restarted the game, the problem reappeared. I concluded the problem was with the monitors since connecting it to my TV worked initially, yet plugging it back into the monitor caused the error again. It seems a different monitor might be needed.
