Star Wars Rogue Squadron III Soundtrack - Rebel Strike Title Theme

The Spiderman 3 of the Rogue Squadron Trilogy, slightly enjoyable yet ultimately far inferior to its predecessors.

[@macklinbutcher3145]

The theme song of freedom.

[@julienguittet8248]

´MURICA!

[@eltonsalvador7620]

Liberation

[@SandmanGotBeer]

The song of a need....a need for speed

[@SkyPilot-vy7uh]

They don't sound as cutting-edge as they did 20 years ago, but the instrument samples in this game still sound pretty damn real.

Disney probably doesn't even know what these games even are and I swear the people that make these new Star Wars games never played the old games before

[@TheKrazyk2010]

And knowing that it's coming from disney, it's probably going to be a dumpster fire

[@Swordsmage]

Back when people made Star Wars games because they wanted to make Star Wars games, not just a quick cash grab from the IP. This game was so jam packed, not only did it have its own single player, but it had the previous game on disk as a co-op game. What modern day game would even dare do that? Without charging you $29.99 DLC at least.

[@HardCorePoration]

There were a lot of crappy Star Wars games back then as well just to cash in on the name. Flight of the Falcon, Masters of Teräs Käsi, The Phantom Menace video game and Super Bombad Racing all come to mind. Don't let your nostalgia cloud your vision my friend, although there were a lot of fantastic Star Wars games in the past, we can't be blind to the bad ones either.

i personally find this to be the best of the trilogy. might be all the nostalgia but yeah

[@jankjason]

Nothing to do with nostalgia honestly. It would be nostalgic to say the first game was the best though, it is very dated and simpler compared to its sequels. For the most part 2 and 3 are closer to on-par with each other.

[@squinteastwood4637]

2 is the best one, the first one is almost unplayable.

[@richardched6085]

brandough crox aka ogb its probably 20% nostalgia, 80% mental confirmation that it was a great game.

[@maximedupuy4886]

Hmmm no, the foot missions were awful. Fortunately they were few in numbers and RS is a very solid game. Best main theme in the trilogy.

[@amaurythewarrior]

@@squinteastwood4637 woah that's an exaggeration. it has its flaws, so does RS2. but RS2 is clearly superior in every way - in fact it was made in a very similar way, so it's really just an evolution (i mean the maps, AI etc)

[@cosclay4869]

Just imagine if we could seen the Rogue Squadron in the final battle of TROS and with Wedges as Rogue Leader with that song

[@SandmanGotBeer]

We were lucky to see Wedge as a gunner on the millennium falcon with how little regard the sequels showed the original characters......

[@maxeisenhardt8800]

Not a fan of the foot missions. However, the AT-ST missions were a great addition (Guns of Dubrillion was my personal favourite).

[@wilhufftarkin8543]

It was the first time you could actually drive an AT-AT!

[@navisiul97]

They added alot of fun things in this game. Seismic Charges, better cluster missles, Imperial APCs are pretty fun enemies, TIE Hunters were fun to fight and fly, Imperial Escort Carriers are still my favorite cruisers in Star Wars, and the music, it's great no denying it.

[@kabob0077]

@@navisiul97 It's a shame they don't make these anymore...

[@kevinmorad2563]

Remember having to climb the at ats by foot? i always thought that seemed cool as a kid with the saber.

[@MalabarTheGreat]

The on-foot mission where you also use a speederbike was great, same with Hoth. I expected much more from the on-foot missions, I even expected force powers lol. I still loved Rebel Strike.

[@aggroknight4259]

It just occurred to me that they shift the theme's key up one semitone with each game.

[@noahsoto6905]

Hearing this after like 8 years really makes me want to cry. So many memories from when I was a kid. To top it all of I can appreciate the music so much more since I am a musician

[@danrozanski6130]

It's been about 15 years for me. I spent probably 4 or 5 years playing this almost every day with my younger brother. Of course we cheated and got the jedi starfighter, naboo starfighter, Slave 1, and a convertable car if I remember

[@SandmanGotBeer]

Very good piece of music, but as the saying goes, "You never forget your first love". For me, that's the original Rogue Squadron on N64.

[@weandyrfc7]

So glad to see im not the only one that cherishes these older games we grew up with, we had it so good and we just didn't know it at the time 🥲

[@TheHero136]

I think this game was pretty enjoyable for the time It was so much fun to play all the new missions while also being able to play the levels of rogue leader with your best bud. The battle of Yavin, hoth, and endor make really fun battles to play. The originals all the way.

[@jrad410]

[@PokeJediTrek]

Because Nintendo got in touch with Disney recently to make Disney Art Academy for the Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo can probably team up to create remakes of the classic Rogue Squadron trilogy on the Nintendo 3DS as a video game compilation and create a reboot for the Wii U using Disney's canon of the Star Wars Expanded Universe. And just like "Rebel Strike", add in a local multiplayer feature, and for the first time in the series, add online multiplayer.

[@hyperiongm330]

Like Disney has $40 billion to drop on Nintendo when its own net worth is $92 billion. Also they have no real interest in buying a video game company when they themselves do not specialize in that field.

[@Aurik-Kal-Durin]

It'd be cool if they could create some kind of campaign based on Rogue Squadron for Star Wars: Battlefront, since it doesn't have a story mode right now. Let us play as Luke Skywalker and Wedge Antilles both on foot, in the air, or in highjacked Imperial ground vehicles just like in this game... only, you know; better. Playing on-foot or controlling an AT-ST in Rebel Strike was very awkward and often boring compared to flying, but Battlefront does both air and ground combat very well. Anybody see where I'm coming from?

[@Marvelous__Marv]

+Aryck-The-One I honestly thought I was the only one who wanted this idea to happen in Battlefront. X) It would be cool to have Wedge or Luke in their X Wings as Heroes for Fighter Squadron.And I agree with you about the land vehicles in Rebel Strike, they could have been a bit better and work good in Battlefront. On the bright side, Rogue Squadron has some sort of mention whenever you call for an air vehicle during Walker Assualt and Supremacy etc.

[@scolopendraheros1565]

Yeah, but the ship parts were easily on par and even more visually stunning and the bike and walker bits were actually quite good too. The on foot was really badly executed but it for as many as there were I actually thought they were bad in a charming sort of way. They still looked and sounded like Star Wars...I was a kid when I got it though so there is definitely nostalgia bias. I actually especially loved the wedge Geonosis mission. I had always kind of wondered what the prequel words were like during the time of the original trilogy and what happened to the battle droids (III hadn't come out yet) so Wedge going and finding the droids just thrilled me. Plus those jedi star fighter bombs though...
