Star Wars Rogue Squadron III: Attack on the Executor

Attack on the Executor with the A-Wing.

[@DD64MusicAndGames]

I will never forget this mission because the first time I played it, I got killed flying to the command deck, and finished the mission like in the movie.

[@poorlymadeproduction]

+DudeDesigns Fuck yeah!

Watching this makes me hungry for Admiral Ackbar cereal. My taste buds can't repel flavor of that magnitude.

[@jerec1267]

monkeyfarmer1138 is that a robot chicken reference im reading?

[@monkeyfarmer1138]

You win a Wookiee cookie.

[@Minesniper07]

+monkeyfarmer1138 Ackbar's fish sticks from the sea, They cook so tender and flaky! Whip some up for you and me, to pass on them is a big mistakey! "Big mistakey?"

[@Minesniper07]

+combinecommando001 I think it works better as an instrumental anyways....

[@mandalknight9930]

A moment of silence for the pilot of that 1 A-wing that took down the Executor.

[@fishanter6807]

Mandal Knight he will not be forgotten

[@skorgethehunter5810]

He went down with honor.

[@lifeblood2646]

In this case he was just : YOLO

[@Rstraub12]

For over a generation Lucasarts were the guardians of fun and innovation in video games. Before the dark times. Before EA.

[@crispyengineer7521]

I like the EA Battlefront 2. I don't see microtransactions as a problem.

[@The_Greedy_Orphan]

Well clearly enough people did as they sensibly got rid of them, hope the whole industry follows suit.

[@timesnewlogan2032]

Disney betrayed and murdered LucasArts…

[@finkamain1621]

A game for a more civilized age

[@hectordiaz1575]

​@@crispyengineer7521not enough clone wars characters

[@hanswolfgangmercer]

I was going to say I wish they'd make a new rogue squadron but then I them I remembered Factor 5 doesn't exist anymore and even if someone did make a new one, it would probably be totally focused on multiplayer, not have a singleplayer campaign, and would release hundreds of dollars of dlc

[@Alex-ji6ob]

+Percy Danvers So many shots were taken to EA with this comment, I love it.

[@wispartan]

+Percy Danvers cough cough battlefront

[@Shapes_Quality_Control]

A new game with graphics and gameplay to be competitive with other current gen titles would probably also need the dlc in order to make a profit because of the huge expenses in development... But hey even if it was made dirt cheep gamers would still be quite bitchy.... "I have to reimburse you for the game you spent time and money to make for me?? Fuck you!!"

[@kinggoten]

+The Cinema Cowboy thing is games don't need all the DLC to make a profit as long as they sell well(which Battlefront did and was a sure hit) adding a 50bucks season pass on top of the 60buck game was not smart esp when the game is like half of a game.

[@Edward135i]

+Percy Danvers EA would be the one making it now days :/

[@JustARTificial]

Lives Lost = 0 What the fuck? You telling me you somehow survived that suicide?

[@ultramarine218]

The kamikaze didn't count. Considering it was not an optional objective, it'd be unfair for the game to count it. You'd never be able to have a perfect record on every mission.

[@tsubaki4106]

Imperial Ace Plus, you're playing as Wedge, and the guy who smashes into the bridge is Arvel Crynyd.

[@ultramarine218]

tsubaki410 Not in the mission he's referring to. You play as Wedge in the mission after. You play as Arvel in this one.

[@tsubaki4106]

Imperial Ace Really?

[@ultramarine218]

Yeah, why do you think you get an A-Wing and fly it into the bridge? :r

[@skaboodlydoodle]

As a young child I loved how this mission advocated suicide

[@themonkeyhand]

Star Wars tradition. Luke tried to kill himself in ESB.

[@junidelgadocolon-elchicogamer]

Wrong, he lost the control of the A-Wing resulting crashing the bridge.

[@giovanicomin8665]

Super Star Destroyer look like a city

[@sharko4093]

It's pretty ironic that you said that considering the dark grey area in the middle that they were flying through is called the city scape.

[@crsrdash-840b5]

The first in a line of Executor-class Star Dreadnoughts, the ship is over 19,000 m (62,000 ft) in length, propelled by thirteen colossal engines and a Class 1 hyper drive. It had a crew of Enlisted (27,850), Officers (9,235), Storm troopers (9,700) equals 46,785. Image the entire city being destroyed when it slammed into the Death Star II. The reaction on Akbar's face told of how he felt with so many lives lost.

[@CassDaMan1138]

No one else in awe at how it looks like a freaking city is on top of the Executor? Damn it might as well be a mobile colony ship.

[@MrGraveSlice]

Did anyone ever use the Slave 1, hold Z, and spin while spamming all 20 of your seismic charges to create an absolute nuke of destruction? Please tell me 'im not the only one.

[@MrGraveSlice]

Yeah it sucked. That's why all my friends were like "HAHA, use the crappy slave 1, you'll never beat me!" GOT EM"!

[@amirmoises1097]

+MrGraveSlice i did that, but with the Jedi starfighter

[@vguyver2]

+amir moises you folks just brought up fond memories of piloting that cadillac in space on the N64 games.

[@CommandoTrek]

+MrGraveSlice Dude that was the tactic of the century. INTENSIFY FORWARD FIRE-POWER.

[@donboy65]

I think I did that before myself

[@HamanKarn567]

[@CommanderCool101]

+HamanKarn567 RIP Admiral Piett

[@seanbrower6738]

+Jack Timson I know that's darkly humorous, but one fanfic I've read lately had him turn out to be quite a good guy. It even gave him a family, whose eldest daughter Luke falls in love with haha. He and every other officer were merely taking orders, as any good ones would. Yeah, Vader was harsh in his disciplinary techniques, but clearly, the Imperial military was based on those from centuries ago, where harsh physical punishment was the norm. They also knew that Vader wasn't their true boss. The Emperor was. Follow Vader's orders, and not only do you not get punished, but your career progresses, with an excellent commander in Vader to lead you. On the other hand, God knows how many of the officers and soldiers were forced to work for the Empire. Had they known the tragic and horrific story behind their commander Vader's life, I'd bet many, if not most, would mutiny, as the entire crew of the Executor did in the one I mentioned. I didn't create this idea myself, TBH. I read it in the same fanfic fanfic. But I think it's a very viable possibility. Sidious was the embodiment of pure evil, who in reality cared about nobody but himself. The Imperial military had no idea, though, and with many of them coerced to work for him, as well as them not being aware that Anakin and Vader were one in the same, nobody was the wiser in an Empire built on blood and lies. Here is that fanfic: www.fanfiction.net/s/3330288/1/My-Daughter It's 90 chapters long, but it's AMAZING.

[@enjoythestruggle]

+Sean Brower They might have gotten a clue when they blew up an entire planet, or noticed there were no aliens among them.

[@seanbrower6738]

***** True that. Tarkin loved it, but that certainly was not the case for any of those men who had any honor at all.

[@enjoythestruggle]

Sean Brower It's shockingly easy to recruit normal people for evil causes though. History teaches us that. We also know most soldiers aren't that interested in the bigger scheme of things, they just want to survive (take the example of soldiers of opposing sides coming together during Christmas in the trenches).

[@FightEcke]

Imagine a HD-Remake of this for PC, PS4 and XB1 *-*

[@sig7026]

+FightEcke Don't even get me started on how much time I would waste playing that

[@ZZMonkeysUncleZZ]

+R GG Wii U? Not going to happen. Besides, the game would be wasted on it.

[@darthrevan704]

Yes please

[@ArmaBiologica35]

Obi-Wan Kenobi, Well, to be fair, these games were Nintendo exclusives. But the fact that the original studio no longer exists and that EA now has the rights of the Star Wars games. ...Yeah, not going to happen.

[@alex-ragnarson3482]

Well, we got Star Wars Squadron now

[@drosera88]

I like how it's just kind of stuck into the Death Star at the end,

[@NewHyperman6]

"A little help here please"

[@robertpomeroy9680]

RIP to the A-Wing pilot who went beyond call of duty on the super star destroyer and took it down with him. Also, whoever he is, he is a legend now that he took care of that thing.

[@okamijubei]

and don't forget that pilot was likely a teenager.

[@madpistol]

So to recap: Destroy Ion Cannons: check Destroy a Star Destroyer: check AAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH: check Mission Accomplished, Kamikaze Rebel Pilot!

[@henryhammond7393]

I actually played this level and got shot down and hit the Executor’s bridge before the cutscene... and still got a gold medal. I did that once and could never recreate it.

[@005AGIMA]

Mission brief: Pilot an A Wing.....to your death

[@brianu2229]

Why do they keep calling them Ion cannons? Those are the Star Destroyer's heavy turbolaser batteries.

[@SPIRIT-117]

Cuz the game modeled them incorrectly, you can tell those emplacements were firing ion cannon blasts by the projectile shape and color. It was incorrect in Rogue Squadron 2 as well. They also modeled the bulge underneath as a shield generator when it reality that's the reactor core.

[@quinnimon]

1:12. Those poor souls on that Blockade Runner.

[@brianu2229]

* shrug * That's what happens when you go toe to toe with an ISD.

[@rondonnis6588]

for a very old game the graphics are amazing and its so epic too with that music and the super star destroyer. then sacrifice yourself for the rebellion.

[@darcyooh5543]

Facts! Yeah they are pretty amazing and realistic

[@cjthrill]

I have not seen this in a long time. A long time. By far, the Rogue squadron games were my favorites. Thanks for this. Brought back a few things!

[@AnnatarCarvour]

Still better than any vehicle combat in the last two EA battlefront games

[@EarFarce4]

RIP Crynyd 🙋

[@tenkenroo]

I always like doing this mission with the Jedi starfighter and seismic charging everything

[@DarkAngel1979fuck]

6:02 testiclez medal awarded for having the balls to sacrifice yourself for the greater good.

[@Alaska1925]

Damn, the Executor is so huge.. it's almost as long as Manhattan in NY. Basically city-sized.

[@plainlake]

+Alaska1925 19,000 meters

[@AZ240992]

The Empire always loved their superweapons.

[@619AGT]

It IS the size of Manhattan Island. There’s an actual size comparison between the two.

[@simonwillis1529]

I miss this games like this in Star Wars Wish we could have em back and big solo missions

[@enjoythestruggle]

Lol this game makes it look like he flew into the bridge deliberately xD

[@drew.k2385]

Yah he did do it on purpose. That's exactly what happened in the movie

[@enjoythestruggle]

Andrew anon I've always been under the impression that he got hit and lost control over his fighter.

[@drew.k2385]

Honestly you could be right. It's been a long time since I saw the movie..

[@drew.k2385]

I googled it. "Wookiepedia" says it actually was a suicide attack.

[@enjoythestruggle]

Andrew anon Yeah it's basically both. He started spinning because he got hit, but he still managed to steer it into the bridge. The scene isn't entirely clear in the movie as it doesn't show him getting hit first, and due to the way the pilot is screaming and kinda has his eyes closed it doesn't look as if he is in control.

[@ghostknight2011]

"Piet, you fool..."

[@351cleavland]

Their insurance policy is not going to cover that sort of damage.

[@Reuffeo]

Little known fact; Mon Cal cruisers are extremely allergic to ion cannons

[@junidelgadocolon-elchicogamer]

The ship was incorrectly placed instead of the Home One, the Liberty was blown by the Death Star laser, this mission take places when Lando and Wedge is on the Death Star heading to the core.

[@Neko_N7]

“Piett, you fool!”

[@MrSprattibaggs]

5:45 “Piett…you fool…”

[@Gundam4]

Get me inferno squad now

[@cabooseresurrected5183]

5:47 “Piett… you fool.”

[@firelightyear]

5:43 Garrick: Piett you fool.

[@LOLMAN9538]

Get me Inferno Squad, now.

[@UltimaKeyMaster]

You can tell Factor 5 perfectly understood these space battles when they made an entire mission just for the kamikaze A-Wing pilot and made damn sure to keep the kamikaze ending.

[@Crimson_Snake1]

This may have been the worst of the three games, but I loved this mission.

[@perfectionbox]

Why is it a mission completes and they show a pair of balls? Oh it's the negative space of the rebel logo 🤣

[@clayisahottie]

My only complaint about this game, is that to me, it felt alot shorter compared to the other two games.

[@enjoythestruggle]

The chances of surviving an attack on an imperial star destroyer are a thousand to one... yet they don't put up that much of a fight :p

[@dragonball3166]

I miss Star Wars games like this who doesn’t want to be space ship battle playing Star Wars game

[@BlueDemonofFire]

Probably the only mission in this game that I actually enjoyed. It felt like it could have fit in pretty well in the original Rogue Squadron. Everything else somehow felt..lazy when you were in the air.

[@KingofStrawberries]

To be fair, it's the Battle over Endor, there's no way you can't NOT enjoy that :P

[@JD34KU]

BlueDemonofFire one of the best RS missions!

[@jasonhenry4022]

The back end of the Hoth mission where there hundreds of TIE's was intense. The others were pretty mediocre. Geonosis was pretty decent too if I remember correctly.

[@sam8404]

Piett, you fool

[@Kwendtster]

With pilots like myself, there would be no need for a rebel fleet. I'm the Max Sterling of this game.

[@pilotamurorei]

+Kwendtster Max Jenus, not that western bastardized name.

[@Kwendtster]

Interesting...

[@SantomPh]

+pilotamurorei Max Genius , actually.

[@pilotamurorei]

SantomPh Actually it should be Jenius, and that is very intentional as to not be spelled genius.

[@AllGamingStarred]

1:42 The empire tries to swat a fly with a shotgun

[@bradcarver8127]

Straight up 9/11’d that Super Star Destroyer.

[@MrGamer5682]

I manage to destroy every Star destroyers. You have time to take down the shields then destroy the bridges

[@PaulvonOberstein]

The Super Star Destroyer is a pretty incompetent ship design. Build a starship that's basically a small country but have the whole thing protected by a highly conspicuous and extremely vulnerable weak point. My theory is that the average IQ of sentient life forms in the Star Wars galaxy is about 80.

[@kewlpc]

Narrator at the beginning sounds like Nick Offerman.

[@snackkracker101]

+kewlpc The narrator is the same narrator from Dark Forces!

[@odo_25]

every time admiral ackbar says craft in suonds like crap

[@unwind_your_mind]

It's a crap!

Oh crap!

[@andrewmontgomery5621]

"Intensify forward firepower!" "AGGRRHH!!!" "Too late!" (BOOM!!!)

This game is GOAT

[@Nonamearisto]

What is that at the end? A posthumous honor?

[@Lagmaster33]

RIP Admiral Piett

[@KimDoeYoung]

I wonder why they used the Liberty Model instead of Home One. Plus.... I wish they gave that Huge capital size a LOT more guns instead of 5 lazes in the front.

[@patrickwilson1459]

Very clever at 3:10. That had never occurred to me before.

[@Girard1020]

Admiral Piett you fool!

[@ilovemonkeyos]

I like how you instantly went Kamikaze, instead of ramming into the bridge because you were hit. xD!

[@junidelgadocolon-elchicogamer]

Of course not, he lost the control of the ship resulting crashing on the bridge.

[@WestAirAviation]

You blew up an entire country.

[@NewHyperman6]

Alaho ACKBAR!

[@teencomment]

Are you supposed to crash your ship into the bridge? XD

[@UltimaKeyMaster]

Yes. Green Leader in the movie gets hit and loses control of his A-Wing, but manages to crash it into the bridge to take out the Executor. You *can* just shoot it, but you'll get the same cutscene anyway, so it's just faster to be movie accurate. Plus it's an awesome reward for paying attention to the movie.

[@DedricSilva]

Hey at least now we know it was intentional to destroy the super star destroyer by ramming into it like in the movie.

[@mcwooley]

"STAR DESTROYER" - Admiral Ackbar

My new favorite word.

[@VioIetShift]

Is it just me or is the Executor way too big in this game? It at least seemed that the player traveled way longer than 19km on that trench run.

[@damdumah2552]

Never could gold on this mission cuz the damn ships took forever to get through even though I destroyed the the star destroyers

[@A350Airways]

How come the third SD wasn't destroyed outright at 3:16? Normally, in Rogue Squadron 2 and 3, you need to destroy all three shield generators as well as the bridge bay in order to destroy a Star Destroyer...

[@comfypenguin1511]

Never forget.

[@benv7933]

This is amazing!!!!

[@jigolocana3382]

what happened to home one and why the liberty is only their

[@wulfaxe7661]

whats the ost of this one? i cant find it

[@dannyhartwig7595]

the time when nintendo supportet 3 partys well and we got awesome games.

[@AnnatarCarvour]

Wheres the Bridge deflectors on the executor?

[@nodtomodley9114]

They got destroyed.

[@zero5496]

wow, a trench run on the executor

[@emoishguy08]

do you have to crash into the bridge? What if you just shoot it a lot? It seemed to work well on the other 3 star destroyers you took down.

[@Warsie]

it works if you shoot at it too; it triggers the crash cutscene.

[@roguesquadron521]

You play as Green Leader here, he sacrificed himself in the movie too by crashing into the Executor's bridge. You're basically playing the movie in this mission, lol.

[@emoishguy08]

that's lame, what if I want to live and be in the next movie? Can't i just do that ?

[@amirmoises1097]

+roguesquadron521 Gray leader*

[@roguesquadron521]

amir moises Nope, Green Leader. His name was Arvel Crynyd : starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Green_Leader

[@KingToll]

I actually never got that. What exactly did the Executor collide with at the end? It looked like the Death Star, but it's way too far away.

[@LordDioBrando]

this was after Lando & Wedge made their assault on the core, the Executor headed towards the death star to prevent any more fighters from advancing towards the Death Star II

[@SilentGunner13]

Death Star's gravitational pull.

[@jerec1267]

***** there was an artificial gravity well holding the death star in place during construction when the A wing crashed into the executor they lost control of the ship and it fell into the gravity well which pulled it into the death star

[@KimDoeYoung]

I know this game is old and hell, I loved this back in day. However, now that I look at the Scale of the Models... lol they made MC80 liberty wayy too big( suppose to be smaller than the Star Destoryer) and also the Executor... lol that's a bit much isn't it.
