Generation Star Wars is the second album by Alec Empire, released on Mille Plateaux in 1994.

The original release of Generation Star Wars faced problems related to its artwork, as it featured a stormtrooper (from the Star Wars films) with a swastika on his helmet. In Germany, the home of Alec Empire and Mille Plateaux, use of the swastika is forbidden, regardless of the context. The artwork was changed and instead depicted an X-wing. On the Geist Records re-release in 2000, the cover art contained only silver text on a black background.
