The Darkest & Most Depressing Star Wars Game Ever Made - Republic Commando

[@inquisitorgarza312]

Republic Commando is an open reminder that the Clone Wars were a very brutal conflict and that the clones were very much designed to fight against such a very horrible conflict.

In all other star wars media, we mostly see things at a third-person perspective. We shown things exactly the way they are. Republic Commando exclusively shows you Boss’ perception of his surroundings. And it’s slightly distorted. He can tell his brothers apart, you can hear that.

[@Lawrence_Talbot]

To this day, I will never forgive Disney for canceling the Imperial Commando follow game and novels. Delta was given permission to run a 3 man squad, much like Squad 40 in the book, and tasked with taking out a “terrorist” targeting the Imperial Garrisons. Lo and behold, you quickly learn its Sev, he survived when the shut down command went into effect and escaped, only to see the Wookiees he once rescued now being enslaved. Sev would rejoin Delta and they would defect, becoming the first “rebel soldiers”.

[@GeneralGrievous-1138]

Neither cancellation had anything to do with Disney and happened years before the buyout, though. Imperial Commando was cancelled while it was still in the very early planning stages in 2005 due to major internal overhauls at LucasArts, and the Imperial Commando novels were cancelled because the author of the series, Karen Traviss, quit Star Wars writing after The Clone Wars retconned Mandalorian society in its second season

[@Toramai-pi8wx]

Oh wow, you’re desperate to blame Disney for anything aren’t you? The reason why that series was canceled because the author raged quit after finding out that her precious idea which incidentally was never hers to begin with got retconned in Star Wars the clone wars. And nothing to do with Disney and everything to do with the author pitching a fit because her precious little idea got changed by the creator which she should’ve known would’ve happened since Lucas didn’t consider Legends canon in his eyes, but she still acted like a child..

I dont know if the inhibitor chips were a good idea. Order 66 just seemed so much darker before this.

[@starlighter93]

Probably not many people know about this, but looking through the subtitle files of the game there are some lines that were cut from the ending and weren't even recorded - at least the sound files for them can't be found. When Sev's signal is lost, there is the version we know. But it seems originally the last line wasn't Scorch saying "Sir, we have to go back", it was Boss saying "Sorry, Sev. Deltas... move out." Then there is another version that is quite different. Sev describing his situation is worded differently. The Advisor here says only one thing: "you're needed elsewhere". Says nothing about evacuation or Master Yoda. Boss initially wants to go after Sev but as soon as the Advisor says "Negative, you're needed elsewhere", he doesn't argue at all. He simply says "We have our orders, commando!" and "We'll come back when there's time." Finally, at the epilogue, there is one line that was cut. After Boss says "Delta Squad, lock and load", the game was supposed to end by him saying "We'll come back for you, Sev. I promise." It's a little gut-wrenching to think that by the devs cutting this last line they sort of predicted that we will never see Delta Squad coming back for Sev. 😞

[@theterribleclaw4285]

Actually the reason why Delta Squad would have different voices is because they were trained by other Mandolins when you raised by someone with a different accent you will adopt to that accent even if you're a Clone it still works that way. So if each member of Delta Squad was trained by different Mandolins then there accent will sound like there trainer especially if they raised by them. Example in real life let's say there is someone who was born in Japan but was raised by Russians that Japanese child would have a Russian accent that's how it works and it can work with a Jango Fett Clone as long there not raised by Jango or someone who sounds like him they will adopt a different accent.

[@circustrainstudios341]

True. But Delta was trained by the same Mando: Walon Vau. So technically Boss shouldn't sound like Jango, but that's a nitpick really. The goal was probably to exaggerate the subtle voice differences they had into something the player would actually notice. That artistic license Geetsly mentioned.

[@theterribleclaw4285]

@circustrainstudios341 The obvious real reason was because Lucas arts didn't want to confuse the player on which Commando was talking.

I think the most bitter part of republic commando for me are the messages that play when all of your squad members are downed. The complete indifference with which your advisor says "I think we lost delta squad" made me shiver. You were never nothing special in the grand scheme of things; only special to one another. A message driven home hard by the ending.

[@kommentator9272]

Republic commando struck such a great balance between making you feel like a squad of super soldiers accomplishing impactful missions and having the player be terrified by enemies we mostly just see getting mowed down by Jedi etc. The accomplishment I felt later in the game having gotten better and being relatively easily able to kill the B2 super battle droids who were so scary in the beginning compared to the B1 and the common media depiction of the B2s was quickly replaced with trying to hit magna guards instead of my teammates

[@thebighurt2495]

I've always figured that B2s were *supposed* to be terrifying monsters on the battlefield. Other media softens them because a) there's Jedi with Laser Swords running around and b) they're intended as more light-hearted tales. Commando may have exaggerated them overly in the *other* direction, but I do like the portrayal of them as beasts on the battlefield. It helps sell the "the Clone Wars only seems cool cause the Protags are Jedi" concept.

Yes! An overview or review of Republic Commando finally made by this great channel. And I have a lot to say, so I aplogize in advance for how long this comment will be. Now I never actually played Republic Commando, I was more a Battlefront 1 and 2 fan, but this game is still very interesting and a few years ago I got interested and have watched a few great playthroughs of it and several reviews of the game, with you're great video now being added to that list. It's defiantly a fun look and fasanaiting game. You're ending conclusion on what happened is one I don't think I've heard before. I mean everyone has talked about how depressing it is to lose Sev, but I don't think anyone else has talked about how the ending is also the start of the Imperial occuation of Kashyyyk. Like you said, in Revenge of the Sith, it's framed to the auidence and even the Jedi themselves like Yoda who are firends with Wookies as them going to protect the planet from the Separatists, and because the Empire has been formed yet and there are still a lot of good Jedi left many don't see the ending of Republic Commando for what it truely is. I myself was fooled when I first watched playthroughs of this game, I thought the Deltas, like most Clones I saw in the Clone Wars 2008 series, were great heroic good heroes, but as I learned more about the Star Wars universe, by a combo of my own research and watching videos by many great Star Wars KZbinrs who discuss a lot of the great lore of the franchise, including yours Geetsly, I learn just how evil the Delta's and many Commandos truly were. Many of them willingly joined the Empire, some squads, including the Deltas, even going on to kill surviving Jedi, any Clone traitors or deserters, and anyone else who disagrees with the Empire even innocent and unarmed people. However, even knowing that, when I watched the ending cutscene of the game just two months ago during a review of the game by the great KZbinr Ciudad16, the whole Republic invasion line still flew over my head and I didn't notice it until you pointed it out. It's a blink and you'll miss it thing I guess. Just like with the Phantom Meance, even after all I've learned of the greater lore, things in these movies and games can still go undected by me until a genius like you points them out Geetsly. Well done. This games ending is more depressing then I realized. And I'm the one who in that video I mentioned by Ciudad16 pointed out the true evil of the Delta Squad when he mentioned at the end of the game how he saw the ending as a good thing, saying that Sev sacrificed himself for the greater good to help liberate Kashyyyk. Despite disagring with Ciudad16 I still greatly enjoyed his review and thought his more optomistic look at the ending of the game was very interesting. But I guess even I had some of that optomism in me despite knowing what the Deltas would go on to do, as I too was blind and didn't even notice the Republic invasion line like I said. I guess in the end, I still try to see the good in the Clones after all the good ones I saw in the Clone Wars 2008 series. Another interesting thing about this ending, is that the Delta's descion to leave Sev behind and blindly follow orders, can ultimately relate to why they eventually, like Scorch in the final episode of the Bad Batch, and most other Commandos failed the Empire and died. Because they ultimately choose to not be loyal to their fellow Clones. Hemlock stated in the final episode of the Bad Batch that this loyalty Clones have to each other is there greatest weakness, but as the episode shows it is the ultimate greatest streagth of many Clones, there loyalty and love for each other. Storming Tantiss was insane and had little chance of sucess, and two episodes before the finale as they prepair to latch on to the ship heading for Tantiss Ramphart tried to order the Bad Batch to not do this and Hunter tells him their not following that order, despite knowing how impossible this mission is the Bad Batch went anyways to save their family(Omega and the captured Clones), no matter what anyone said they would go. And in the end, as you well know Geetsly having watched the series yourself, after an epic battle, they succeed and one of the Imperials they kill is Scorch. Poetic, Scorch, and by extension the rest of the Delta Squad, despite how much they cared for Sev, choose to leave him behind and follow orders, but here the Bad Batch doesn't leave anyone behind they choose to be better people, think for themseleves, and not fight for the Empire and instead fight against it and save innocents, including their brothers and they take down Commandos like Scroch who choose to not to be better and think for themselves, just opting to be good little soldiers who blindly follow orders even if they disagree with it and ultimately that is why the Commandos and by extension the Empire fails. So one could say Republic Commando is a cautionary tale of abanding you're brother, you're family, because you were ordered to. It shows the Darker Side(pun intended) of loyalty. Luckily, good Clones from the Clone Wars 2008 series and the Bad Batch taught me Light Side of loyalty, the importance of loyalty and family and that those who don't cherise those things are doomed to fail, like Scorch did in the Bad Batch finale.

[@geetslys]

Very well said. The comparison between leaving Sev behind in RC versus the Bad Batch refusing to abandon anyone is especially interesting, I hadn't thought of that until you pointed it out. But you're totally right - it's the two sides of loyalty, with loyalty to abstract authority coming out on top in RC and personal loyalty coming out on top in TBB. And that's really the big theme with the clones in The Clone Wars as well, how they value loyalty above all and how they end up forced to choose between the genuine forms of loyalty and the ones they were programmed for.

[@Inquisitor_Redacted]

Republic Commando is probably my favorite Star wars game. It wasn't especially exciting compared to other similar games of the era. Despite this it wasn't simply a mid 2000s first person shooter. The creators managed to take the setting and the rather basic gameplay and create a truly wonderful game. It proves you don't need super original gameplay or a unique setting to make a good game.

[@Inquisitor_Redacted]

Something you didn't bring up specifically that ties into the "warping of reality." aspect of the game is the individual squad members specializations. Even though the game starts by telling you what each member of specializes in, when it comes to gameplay every member of the squad completes each command with equal effectiveness. The only exceptions are 38 when it comes to weapon based roles as we control him and possibly Sev when it comes to sniping? But that may just be confirmation bias on my part and it would not surprise me if someone else thought Scorch was better in the anti-armor and grenade roles. What I can say for sure is, that regardless of who you order to slice a terminal or place explosives, it gets done in the same amount of time. I kind of doubt this was done intentionally, but it wouldn't surprise me.

Huge emphasis on the super battle droids being terrifying. Love the game, love the video. Interesting how it ties back to the og plot of war is bad and all that

[@zacksmith2227]

Let's not forget Genndys clone wars animated series. To me probably just as good or better than older star wars movies worthy of being included within Star wars property that on a personal I could keep watching and finding different things that inspires my artistic take on the franchise.

Delta Squad are my favorite Clone's they alone could defeat the CIS, Empire and First Order why because they are what the song says Vode An.

If we ain't ever gonna get a sequel to this game, can we at least get a remastered version?

[@Telashar]

Ok, since when Clones were fighting against Mass Effects Cerberus XD? (image on 18:20) They even use ME weapons....

[@jwclapp1183]

The optimism of The Clone Wars makes it all the more tragic. Order 66 overrides all of the hopefulness of the series. These clones, who we fell in love with, lost all their hope and individualism in that one order. It builds up the audience with love for Fives and other clones, only for their turn to gut us completely. While showing the grittiness of the war is fun and interesting, the emotional journey of The Clone Wars hits harder than a gritty depiction ever could.

[@GymJAM117]

REPUBLIC COMICS MENTIONED, BATTLE OF JABIIM GO BRRRR

[@logandaley1544]

I would love a remake or sequel of Republic Commando. This was one of the only squad based shooters that grabbed me. I couldn’t believe the ending was then end when I was a kid. I thought there had to be another mission somehow.

[@loganlee1796]

Really reminded me of delta squads fate in imperial commando,(don’t know what happens to boss or where he is) fixer and scorch get reassigned to another squad to replace some of their members. Fixer dies in a mission then scorch kills himself. Pretty damn depressing

[@mckinleyostvig7135]

Republic Commandos is the greatest piece of Star Wars fiction ever created (books and the games)

[@benjamincopelin3795]

Delta Squad may be just another batch of clones in the grand scheme of the war, but to me, they'll always be their unique, individual selves, heroes of the Clone Wars!

[@squizzlor]

What you Meen is the best starwars game ever made. This game made me look forward to a a grittier starwars film.

A mix of SOCOM and Ghost Recon(ps2era) games in a Star Wars universe

[@theseekerofancienttruth3873]

While all of this True, it is Worth Noting that Some Jango Fett Clones, notably some of the ARCs and a few of the Commandos, were Known to havd Canonically-different Voices. This was the Exception to the Rule, and not what is Perceived by Delta-038 in Republic Commando.
