Republic Commando is a game of brutal efficiency. All the while, General Grievous’ looming presence foreshadowed the destruction he’d bring to Coruscant and beyond. It gave players the chance to witness firsthand the Battle of Geonosis, the brutality of Star Wars naval warfare, and the invasion of Kashyyyk from behind the helmet of a clone commando in the Grand Army of the Republic. Republic Commando heralded the dark times to come in Revenge of the Sith. From the launch of Attack of the Clones to the conclusive finale of Revenge of the Sith, the fictional war was waged across books, comics, and several games.įor the first time since Shadows of the Empire, there was a concerted effort to integrate all these various stories into one cohesive narrative. Before Ahsoka leapt on screen with spunk and one-liners, the Clone Wars were some of the most intense stories in the entire canon. The Mandalorian and Dave Filoni’s The Clone Wars both owe a considerable debt to the wave of Star Wars Legends material Republic Commando was at the forefront of.
This isn’t a Star Wars story where people call each other “Snips” and “Skyguy” with quaint moral lessons at the end. An elegant weapon for a more civilized age, eh? Well, guess what - times have changed. In that miserable hole, you find a fellow clone trooper with a lightsaber beside him. You find yourself climbing into a vent, familiar territory turned hostile by Trandoshan boarding parties.
