That’s a good thing, because that desire to keep your squad alive will help motivate you to make good decisions. As you’re in command, the others look up to you as a big brother figure, and this familial bond creates a tendency to act protectively towards your squadmates. This helps to build a rapport with your AI-teammates–Scorch and Sev’s brotherly rivalry with one another is still amusing years later, as are Fixer’s repeated but useless reprimands for the two of them to act more like adults. Most of the game sees all four working together, providing numerous opportunities for conversations between the squad.
The different actors for Boss (Temuera Morrison), Scorch (Raphael Sbarge), Fixer (Andrew Chaikin), and Sev (Jonathan David Cook) do most of the legwork in differentiating each member of the squad from one another. Your unit, Delta Squad, is also composed of sarcastic demolitions expert RC-1262 aka “Scorch,” by-the-books hacker and technical analyst RC-1140 aka “Fixer,” and morbidly grim sniper RC-1207 aka “Sev.” The game takes place over several locations, beginning with an assignment on Geonosis at the end of Attack of the Clones and concluding on Kashyyyk just prior to the events of Revenge of the Sith. In Republic Commando, you play as RC-1138 aka “Boss,” commanding sergeant of a specialized commando unit trained to take on missions that require a greater level of skill and cognitive ability than standard clone troopers possess. And though the flaws in its gameplay are only more noticeable now 16 years later, this remaster manages to still deliver a compelling story of four specialized commandos engaging in a variety of combat missions across the Clone Wars. Handled by Aspyr Media, Star Wars: Republic Commando Remastered brings the original 2005 Xbox and PC game to PS4 and Switch with enhanced HD graphics and modernized controls, though the multiplayer is absent. Republic Commando has a strong legacy among Star Wars fans–despite the game’s removal from the official canon, it remains a key part of the Star Wars universe, especially when it comes to video game entries.
First released in 2005, Star Wars: Republic Commando acted as many a young Star Wars fan’s initial introduction to the concept that the clone troopers of the prequel trilogy are human beings–creating unique identities for the seemingly identical soldiers.
