Star Wars: Republic Commando deserved a sequel

Star Wars: Republic Commando remains the standout title that never received a follow-up. Set during the Clone Wars, it puts players in the role of Boss, leader of Delta Squad — Fixer, Scorch and Sev — on high-stakes missions such as rescuing a Wookiee chieftain.

Released before the 2008 Clone Wars animated series, the game offered an early, vivid look at that era and showed how compelling Star Wars can be beyond Jedi and lightsabers. Gameplay centers on strong first-person shooting across varied levels — a battle droid factory, the jungles of Kashyyyk and a derelict ship overrun by Trandoshan slavers — and its fans remain vocal despite a 78 score on Metacritic.
