+Carlos Fernando de la Fuente Aguilar This saga is one of the best and most underrated in the entire Star Wars gaming world. This and X wing vs. Tie fighter for the PC were absolutely spectacular.

"General Solo's strike team should have the shield on Endor deactivated by the time we arrive" Oh, I'm afraid the deflector shield will be _quite_ operational...
Man, I remember how playing this level was pure childlike wish-fulfillment. I always wanted to run the Battle of Endor and take down Star Destroyers, but no game ever did it before this. As a kid, I always wondered why fighters never did like in the movie and hit the two bulbs above the bridge, and then blow up the bridge to take the destroyer out, but this game has you do exactly that, and it made me giddy with glee!
also you're forgetting the shields will include the generators in it, so only shields that have taken a bettering or have failed/ran out of energy already can be attacked anyways really unless you're using torpedoes or missiles
This game was ahead of it’s time. I liked the first installment for n64 but this is what truly got me into the entire saga, as in really into the backstories and missions you don’t see in the movies. Great game.
AllesFanMasterL another one, damn it...seriously, how many Star Wars games got cancelled? They were one of the few developers that actually modeled every single piece of the ships, as if they were true replicas (these graphics and effects were really great for that time). I wonder how hard it was to build the Star Destroyer...
I'd pay full price for a total remake and port of this game to PC and current gen consoles. Truly one of the best Star Wars games out, perfectly capturing the atmosphere and attitude that all of the fans feel when watching these movie battles on screen. From the music and sound effects, the aesthetic, the voices. Hell, even the way the TIE fighters behave IE swarm tactics and always flying in perfect formations is true to the Star Wars universe. It's insane how games like this aren't made anymore. The holders of the Star Wars IP has been sitting on a fucking goldmine all these years, with games like this to draw inspiration from, and they STILL can't deliver what the fans truly want.
Oh the nostalgia! A rogue squadron game in the frostbite engine would be fucking amazing And that's not a gold medal performance, not with that terrible accuracy. 10:48 It even says no medal awarded, don't lie to me. I got golds on every mission back in the day
Frostbite? Dice? Check out the new rouge squadron by Dice with only 3 maps, online only, and a DLC campaign that is just a simple A to B story line (season pass is encouraged). Sounds good man.
***** And yet another contrarian hipster buttmad that they can't get exactly what they want for free. You do know that modern AAA games cost tens if not hundreds of millions of dollars to make? And that they are still charging $60 for it, despite the fact that $60 today is worth much less than $60 of 15 years ago? Its not like you can just wait for a discount or anything
Berenger Christy What a long response for an idiot trying to justify spending money for this game. AAA used to mean something. Now indies are owning the gaming market you dumb fuck. Its a shit game that lost its player base real quick.
***** I spent $30 for Battlefront and season pass. You tried. I suppose I better play indie gems like No Man's Sky. They sure are changing it up by charging full price for nothing at all. So much better than Battlefront amirite? Some of us have money to spend on our hobbies. Some of us know how to save when appropriate
02:27 Wedge Antilles is the definition of Badass Normal. Started off easily as another redshirt at Yavin, ace Pilot at Endor. Wedge Antilles vs Luke Skywalker Successful attacks on Death Stars Wedge = 2 Luke = 1
He was ordered to leave by his acting CO. His X-wing was damaged in the engines; the reasonable conclusion of "can't stay with you" is literal and his fighter can't keep up with Luke and Biggs or could not maneuver safely and was as much a potential menace to them as the TIEs. It's also possible pulling out of the trench was a gamble to see if the TIEs would follow; as we see in ROTJ, this tactic can work.
I'd play it. I've said since the original rogue squadron game that a modern combat flight/space simulator that could blend swing vs tie fighter and DCS flight sim would be a MASSIVE HOMERUN
It's a really great way to beat the 5th level in the game, because it doesn't count against your lives lost. My only problem I used to have was getting 10 kills on a B Wing. It's not great at dog fights
@@nsbcgr2fan360 My bad bro, I think I was on a drunk star wars binge 😂 Edit: good on you for trying it out in a B-Wing. I always thought the B-wings sucked, so anybody that flew them must have been brave
Damn, this games really doesn't even look that dated. Of course, at the time, it was unbelievable. Really wish that the trilogy compilation for Wii didn't fall through, and hopefully we can get a truly amazing, fun, non-buggy, HD Rouge Squadron IV eventually.
All I cam remember feom this mission is Lando repeating "We've gotta buy more time...we've gotta buy more time...we've gotta buy more time" over and over every 30 seconds.
There was a planed remake of the whole trilogy for the wii, with extra features, including a duel mode with the lightsabers, similar to the swordfight of wii sports resort, sadly it was all canceled
When I won the gold medal in the Battle of Endor, I used a Y-wing with a spread bomb. When the TIE bomber first appears in a dense form, you can shoot down a large number of bombers in an interesting way by throwing a spread bomb at it. Call it "Tetsuzo Iwamoto Strategy". And with Spread Proton Bombs, Star Destroyer can be used to destroy the top two shield generators. It's also highly durable, so if you do it, you won't be shot down.
"Only the fighters are attacking, I won-" I remember the dialogue getting cut off when I played this mission too. I wonder how such an obvious bug got by QA. Too bad they can't patch!
It blows my mind that the best Star Wars games are so old and didn't get made for last gen. I get why a new Battlefront fell through because of the company going under, and why Rouge Squadron was gone after Factor 5 made the crapfest Lair, but in a span on 11 years (?) You could have made SOMETHING. ANYTHING similar to those two games. All we got were those crappy Force Unleashed games. DICE had better deliver the best game ever with SW: BF coming out soon.
I know, I played Tie Fighter and a load of others back in the 90s and later. They just seem to have given up using their imagination when it comes to Star Wars games.
cloudyyo No. I will never ease up on TFU. It's awful. It took me like 6 hours to beat the first one and like 5 to beat the second. You're just stupidly overpowered. It's the same thing from start to finish. Push stormtroopers everywhere and then slice them with your lightsaber. Those games were awful. Go play Jedi Outcast if you want a real Jedi game.
Harrison DuRant TFU 1 I had a lot of fun with, I took my time and found all the secrets so I think I got 15 hours out of my first play through (it helped thinking it was canon.) 2 was way to short and now the neither is canon I can't even play them. The Old Republic is really fun if you like MMO's, the launch sucked, but the game got much better just 2 months after release and has improved so much its the only mmo I can still play. The Lego Star Wars game are all fun. And that is it in the last 11 years that I enjoy or enjoyed.The golden age of Star Wars games was 1995-2005, lets hope with the new movies we can see another golden age.
I have this game for the Nintendo GameCube and I have to say this level is extremely difficult fighting all those Tie-Fighters and Tie-Bombers while trying to protect the ships at the same time and it's even more annoying trying to take out the Star Destroyers without getting killed at the same time.
"Only the fighters are attacking. I wonder w...." They made such an effort to keep the dialogue close to the movies and they cut Lando off every time 🤣
I remember my dad buying us the Gamecube for the reason that I wanted this game so bad. I played the demo at Walmart and fell in love. I've always been a nerd when it comes to the SW franchise. This game for it's day had incredible graphics that matched some ps3 games. There's also another Star Wars game that came out after this one and it has this game as a bonus you play it all over again but you get the two player mode.
I remember I figured out a trick to where if you had a Y-wing you could go under the star destroyer, invert and bomb the shield generator underneath pretty easily. This is one of the best games ever, one of the best Star Wars games ever.
I'm watching this right now and when the TIE fighters come in the first 2 things that jumped into my head were, "wow this is a gold run with that spray and pray... holy crap they must not have done the high accuracy thing in Rogue Squadron II (admittedly, I haven't played the game in probably close onto 15 years). " The second thought was, "I miss being able to link the lasers to fire in quad bursts."
Actually, you didn't have to spam the laser cannons. If you timed your shots, you could fire in pairs or with all four cannons (for the X-wing) every time, and each shot was more powerful as a result.
Well, you could do quite well without spamming the lasers; the person who's playing clearly could not figure out how to use the control stick without going from 0 to 100, and actually aiming
jesus christ, the memories... it's been more than 10 years since i last played this game i think... yet i restarted this mission so many times i istantly remember the manouvers and hearing those phrases...
Nice try, you already had a gold medal before you did that. You need *at least* 60 enemy kills, 31% accuracy and 80% targeting computer efficiency to get the gold medal here. Oh, and there's the whole "NO MEDAL AWARDED" just giving it away.
+Colt1451 This is all bullshit next to the TIE Fighter and X-wing games, which had integrity. Amazing sandboxes where goals conditioned tactical strategy.
+gibberconfirm One is more arcade like, one is more focused on depth and strategy. Of course one the Rogue games lack integrity, because it's focused on something different. Both are amazing in their own right.
This is what a real space battle looks like. This, and BF2 classic's space battles. They really put you in the hot seat, especially with you having to gun down hundreds of TIEs.
William The Derp Basically the rebel alliance is throwing everything they have at destroying the death star and killing the emperor, so they are taking every single ship they can find. Also it meant that Industrial light and magic didn't have to think up new ship designs.
William The Derp Simple, the Transport Ship is filled with Gungans and during missions if a Republic Fleet were to encounter a Exogorth the Rebels would fly the Transport ship into the Belly of the Astro Worm hoping to satisfy its hunger and saving the rest of the fleet.
This is one of my favorite star wars games ever, and my favorite level as well. The fact they got the Dennis Lawso. To reprise the role of Wedge Antilles made it even better
1:03 "Oh crap! Prepare to jump into hyperspace on my mark!" I always misheard that line when I was little, and hoped my mom wouldn't walk in when he said that.
Bless lucasart for how much they did with what they had. This is how you make a star wars game with adding new stuff and going by the same stuff in the movies. Battle of Endor was so fun to play
I remember when I did the co-op campaign with my bro in Rogue Squadron 3 and we did this mission. I went like "No, we're not getting the gold" Gets best ever "huh, I was half-right"
Such a pitty, that there is no modern Star Wars simulator. Only these old arcade games ... not saying they are bad, but Star Wars needs something more realistic finaly.
***** No you're correct unfortunately ea has the exclusive right's to star wars for the next 10 year's.I'm really dissapointed as I wanted to play a brilliant star wars game but doesn't look like it's going to happen any time soon.I was hoping the star wars game from ea would of at least followed the story of the new star wars film.Ea confirmed all future star wars game's from them won't follow the story of any of the star wars film's.Apparently ea are making a sequel to the new battlefront game I don't think l'll be buying it.If you want a great star war's game you'll have to wait a decade unfortunately I really hate ea.
+Youda00008 No it's true Google it if you don't believe me.Even boogie2988 on you tube confirmed it also as he was dissapointed with the news of ea's exclusive right's to star wars for 10 year's.Sorry but it really is true I didn't want to believe it myself.
Wedge lando and luke pass in my books, mainly because Denis lawson himself voices wedge In rebel strike they re voice everyone again in these levels for some reason. Those voices are fuckin baaaad

1.ride a horse in space
2.throw a little grenade down a hatch

William Signs really there’s almost too much fire in the game to do a perfect run (aka the realist run where you don’t die)
This was the game they wish they had when the movie came out

" The second thought was, "I miss being able to link the lasers to fire in quad bursts."
yeah, it's ROGUE! ROGUE dammit, not ROUGE!
+amaurythewarrior Mulan Rouge Squadron..
Dark Tenka rouge is red in french
+GrandesClassicos93 i know that, i'm french! so we have "escadron rogue" and "escadron rouge"
Niveau Zero i'm amaurythewarrior, i'm not just jumping into the conversation out of the blue ^^
+amaurythewarrior rouge=red..... RED LEADER ! just messing around...lol
This game did a very good job at reenacting that space battle
EA was really lazy imo for not implementing this amazing flight and space battles for that matter.
Got to make as much money as possible
Yeah the the space battle's are some of the most exciting and fun part's not just for the game's but for the star wars films also.
Crazy how much improvement the studio made in 3 years from Rogue Squadron 1, which only came out in 1998 while RS 2 came out in 2001
This was a masterpiece, miss my GameCube! Might have to get this again
I don't blame you this is an awesome game I still have it and my gamecube.
This game is infinitely better than SW Squadrons
This game looks soo badass!
Phantom Bigboss because it is, my guy
Imagine turning your X-wing around and seeing that Super Star Destroyer just watching you, I’d eject lol
One thinged that bugged me about this game was how you gotta spam the blasters, not a accurate burst of fire like in the movies
This is an arcade game, if you want more tactical gameplay of this type try X-Wing Alliance.
That's exactly how I like it lol
Actually, you didn't have to spam the laser cannons. If you timed your shots, you could fire in pairs or with all four cannons (for the X-wing) every time, and each shot was more powerful as a result.
Not really. The Silver and Gold medals have very high accuracy requirement. So you'd have to control your fire.
Well, you could do quite well without spamming the lasers; the person who's playing clearly could not figure out how to use the control stick without going from 0 to 100, and actually aiming
jesus christ, the memories... it's been more than 10 years since i last played this game i think... yet i restarted this mission so many times i istantly remember the manouvers and hearing those phrases...
Nice try, you already had a gold medal before you did that. You need *at least* 60 enemy kills, 31% accuracy and 80% targeting computer efficiency to get the gold medal here.
Oh, and there's the whole "NO MEDAL AWARDED" just giving it away.
+MrOmegatronic he didnt play well
+Colt1451 This is all bullshit next to the TIE Fighter and X-wing games, which had integrity. Amazing sandboxes where goals conditioned tactical strategy.
+gibberconfirm One is more arcade like, one is more focused on depth and strategy. Of course one the Rogue games lack integrity, because it's focused on something different. Both are amazing in their own right.
+Colt1451 What accuracy? He was just spraying lasers all over the place and hoping for the best.
+gibberconfirm Yes, the visuals are amazing but the game eh..
This is what a real space battle looks like. This, and BF2 classic's space battles. They really put you in the hot seat, especially with you having to gun down hundreds of TIEs.
Rouge Squadron? aaaw shit, wrong vid. I need to find Rogue.
Why does the movement in space look better in this old game than it does in battlefront
This mission was freakin hard.
+ArmaBiologica35 The final mission was even harder though ESPECIALLY trying to escape the explosion.
+Empire13Gaming that's why they give the job to Lando in the movie !
I cannot believe Factor 5 closed down. they nailed the star wars fighter games
I'm wondering why do they have a transport vessel in the fleet?
some one has to carry. all the champagne and fireworks haha I always asked the same thing
William The Derp Basically the rebel alliance is throwing everything they have at destroying the death star and killing the emperor, so they are taking every single ship they can find. Also it meant that Industrial light and magic didn't have to think up new ship designs.
William The Derp Simple, the Transport Ship is filled with Gungans and during missions if a Republic Fleet were to encounter a Exogorth the Rebels would fly the Transport ship into the Belly of the Astro Worm hoping to satisfy its hunger and saving the rest of the fleet.
the fucks a gungan don't you know that Vaders first order of business was getting rid of trash
William The Derp In all seriousness, I think they were filled with explosives, so they could be rammed into an enemy ship.
Fond memories a remake is needed ❤️🙏🏽
Is the mission narrator Brian Griffin?
I love how Endor is in the background.
still better than EA's battlefield
This is one of my favorite star wars games ever, and my favorite level as well. The fact they got the Dennis Lawso. To reprise the role of Wedge Antilles made it even better
The better game Star Wars, with Jedi Knight and KOTOR !

"Oh crap! Prepare to jump into hyperspace on my mark!"
I always misheard that line when I was little, and hoped my mom wouldn't walk in when he said that.
Maple_Hobbit what does he say? sounds exactly like that
@@FB0102 All craft...
I hope to god battlefront 3 is like this.
They're 2 totally different games?
No three
Bless lucasart for how much they did with what they had. This is how you make a star wars game with adding new stuff and going by the same stuff in the movies. Battle of Endor was so fun to play
how did he get an accuracy of 18 %? In the first minutes nearly every shot miss a target or was fires direct to into the emptyness of space-
Because the countless shots that he plugged into the shields and bridges helped it come up a bit.
I remember when I did the co-op campaign with my bro in Rogue Squadron 3 and we did this mission. I went like "No, we're not getting the gold" Gets best ever "huh, I was half-right"
Such a pitty, that there is no modern Star Wars simulator. Only these old arcade games ... not saying they are bad, but Star Wars needs something more realistic finaly.
I agree 👍 but it's not going to happen with ea having the star wars licence for 10 years the new battlefront game sucked.
Paul Barnes
wait what?? EA got exclusive rights to produce Star Wars games? no, no, please say i misunderstood
***** No you're correct unfortunately ea has the exclusive right's to star wars for the next 10 year's.I'm really dissapointed as I wanted to play a brilliant star wars game but doesn't look like it's going to happen any time soon.I was hoping the star wars game from ea would of at least followed the story of the new star wars film.Ea confirmed all future star wars game's from them won't follow the story of any of the star wars film's.Apparently ea are making a sequel to the new battlefront game I don't think l'll be buying it.If you want a great star war's game you'll have to wait a decade unfortunately I really hate ea.
Paul Barnes no .. noo .. that's not true! .. that's IMPOSSIBLE!!
+Youda00008 No it's true Google it if you don't believe me.Even boogie2988 on you tube confirmed it also as he was dissapointed with the news of ea's exclusive right's to star wars for 10 year's.Sorry but it really is true I didn't want to believe it myself.
One of the very few truly great Star Wars games
I think battle of endor on the movie has more ships
+Jhon Alex
It does. You work with what you get..
Back at this time consoles couldnt hold lots of things like more ships
Hot many shots are fire a second for the X wing in this game
I wish they could've used the original voice actors, and archived voice clips, these voices are horrible.
jayo1212 Wedge is actually voiced by the actor who played him. Other than that...yeah...they're...awful.
Wedge lando and luke pass in my books, mainly because Denis lawson himself voices wedge
In rebel strike they re voice everyone again in these levels for some reason. Those voices are fuckin baaaad
jayo1212 Still better than Battlefront's VAs
Unreal game, played it to death. Still holds up today, that sound!
Rouge Squadron but all the ships are grey?
Rouge Squadron, but all the ships aren't rouge.
ROGUE Squadron the ships may be grey but the squadron markings are red
