Best VGM 201 - Main Theme - [Star Wars: Rogue Squadron]

[@Tayvin4042]

This... This right here... Is the Rebellion's answer to the Imperial March.

[@cane6074]

Yes, Imperial March conveys strength and power with iron determination, which fits the Empire. While this one conveys cunning and dare-doing with righteousness, which fits the rebellion. This sounds like music you would here from an old school adventure movie serial.

[@GreatFox42]

Oh, this song... Even years after I'd lost the game, and forgotten most of it, I'd still hum this little tune.

[@ealing456]

The fact that this sounds so much like Rogue One's imperial suite (also heard in When Has Become Now) is more than a coincidence. Self-professed 'nerd composer' Giacchino just last year used short motifs he created decades ago for The Lost World PS1 game in the score for Jurassic World. Giacchino knows his games, which is great because if Giacchino signs on to further SW scores, we'll possibly get treated to a few other game motifs coming back into the main canon.

[@ackbarfan5556]

Hell, did you hear his work in the Medal of Honor series? Guy practically is John Williams successor.

[@matthewchristianroche]

Great to go back in time and see your eager prophecies come true! And they really smashed it out of the ball park with Rogue One too 🎉

[@SuperNos64]

This game took great hints from Star Fox 64, and still managed to create its own identity that differed it from other flying games in a very unique way. And to make the game even better, it's freakin Star Wars. Factor 5 did an amazing job with this game. They deserved more credit than what they got, especially when it came to making great Star Wars games.

[@jayrap94]

Now, I wonder if there will be an adaptation of this or any of the other RS games in the upcoming Disney live action production of Rogue Squadron? Because that would be so cool!

[@GoodGuyNeji]

"RETURN TO BASE COMMANDER SKYWALKER! WE'LL DISCUSS YOUR 'TACTICS' IN PRIVATE."

[@TheCodedtestament]

This game rocks! The Expansion Pack makes notable improvement of graphics and control, yet isn't absolutely necessary. Getting all the gold medals without the cheats is a challenge, but gives it added dimension. And you have to play this one louder than sanely possible because the music and sound effects are so good, they'd blow George Lucas away.....to a galaxy far, far away!

[@maxeisenhardt8800]

Burying LucasArts was the WORST move Disney has ever made regarding Star Wars. We could have had new Rogue Squadron games. One during the Resistance era (with Poe as the main character) and another during the Rebellion era with Luke, Wedge and Hera as the main characters, depending on the mission and Rebel cell you're flying with. And the U-Wing would be included along with new type of missions consisting of deploy and extraction of troops. They could have made tons of money, but nooooo! instead we have the DLC-sucking Electronic Arts as the main developer. :(

I laughed a little when they go on Eadu, flying low in the canyons to avoid being detected (it rang a bell). Also, I'm pretty sure Luke named the squadron in tribute to them.

Rogue Squadron and RS2: Rogue Leader are still considered some of my all t imes favorite games (still playing Rogue Leader atm until Battlefront is out). But man, I totally forgot how different the first games theme sounded compared to the sequel. While both are great I have a fond spot for RS2 theme as my favorite imo, feels way more Star Wars-esque to me than this one.

serdons revenge is easy: 1. take the naboo fighter and dont let off the gas. make fast sweeps. with serdon do the same just try to lock on with torpedoes. 2. with the v-wing if you have seeker cluster middles just spam them at him and he's done before he can start his speeches.

Just recently bought Rouge Squadron on steam but due to how my moniters resolution doesnt work with the games resolution, I cant play it. So i just sat in the menu screen for 20 minutes
