    In the pantheon of fictional universes, few are as rife with memorable characters as Star Wars. From Admiral Ackbar to Yoda, the galaxy far, far away has served as a host to all manner of unique and iconic personas throughout its history - some so much so, that they’ve managed to carry entire video games by themselves.
    When the clone troopers debuted during the prequel trilogy, most assumed that they would never be given the opportunity to share the same spotlight. A genetically uniform army that served the Jedi prior to their downfall, the clones would largely function as background dressing to more important characters and conflicts in whatever fiction they made an appearance, lacking the presence or personality to carry most scenes on their own.
    However, it would be a squad of clones that would go on to feature in one of the most celebrated Star Wars games of the 6th console generation: Star Wars: Republic Commando. A tactical first-person shooter set between the films’ second and third episodes, Republic Commando not only provides players with an engaging gameplay experience, but gives distinct and endearing personalities to its unusual protagonists years before the Clone Wars TV show would attempt to do the same. It demonstrated that even without most of the franchise’s main stalwarts - the Jedi, the Sith, and everyone in-between - one could still create a Star Wars experience capable of reaching fans’ hearts.
    This is the history of Star Wars: Republic Commando.

      You're right. Back in the day we had so many varieties of SW games, from flight sims to RTS, FPS, MMO, RPG, ect, pretty much every genre under the sun was covered... Nowdays all we have is the mindless battlefront shooter, (which is okay if that's all you want.. ) or a grindy p2w mmo. Or simple mobile games... So...the sw gaming landscape is like a barren wasteland compared to its hayday. It's pretty sad really.

      I'm gonna say it; LucasArts for the most part didn't make quality games which is why they made a large quantity of games. My top 3 favorite star wars games from LucasArts days were RC, BF2, and Lego Complete Saga. Mind you, those are my 3 favorite STAR WARS games from old days. RC was my second favorite game OVERALL. The rest don't even make the list. EA Battlefront 2 started out as a hot mess but after they fixed it it has become my favorite game of all time. Fallen Order also looks pretty good. So EA just needs one more half decent game to make the claim of putting out more quality content than Lucas Arts ever did.

    It's also worth mentioning that Republic Commando became a launching point and inspiration for the evolution of Mandalorian culture in the Star Wars Universe. The novel series would dive more into this subject and other game titles, such as SWKOTOR II: The Sith Lords and SWTOR, would expand upon the topic. SW Clone Wars (2008 - present) and SW Rebels would also dive into the subject, and the upcoming series The Mandalorian, directed by Jon Favreau, will continue the journey.

      robin ross Be honest, it's was getting spastic and inconsistent before Disney, I've never truly been a hard fan of Star Wars yet loved the occasional game, cartoon, or comic. Star Wars constantly shifts from great(knights of the old republic)to terrible products(Christmas special). Personally didn't like the new movies, but Rouge One is a healthy exception.

      robin ross Rouge One proves they have the talent, but they insist on trying to reach as wide a demographic as possible resulting in new stories having no real culture or presence of its own, you can feel where the writers were forced to make constant changes and force things sloppily into the story in hopes to sell toys. My friend was part of the sound team of 7 and claimed that characters were actually removed or added to fill marketability quotas constantly and that work would be trashed if they were convinced this wouldn't "promote nostalgia"

    So I don't know the first thing about the business side of games, but I've wondered for a while now why Disney gave EA such a massive contract, I really wish they would've gone game by game with multiple studios, ya dice would seem like a good choice to make battle front, (or they did when Disney first bought Star Wars) but could you imagine a sequel to Republic Commando made by the same people behind Rainbow six siege. I know you don't wanna over expand, but they could've hired the best studios out there for many genres like RPGs, mmo said, fps, etc. but unlike with the Lucas arts of old all these games wouldn't have to be handled by one studio. Idk, maybe there's some reason this would be bad, I'm just a fan of Star Wars that sees a lot of potential wasted.
