I sucked so bad at this level as a kid. Despite that, I really like how the level feels and looks with the asteroids all over the place. Good job on only 4 attempts, I know it probably took me many more than that..
This was a level I remember where there certainly was some extreme pressure to find your way around quickly. That guy freaking out over the intercom didn’t help much either.
I could never find out where those guard towers were on the dark asteroid surface in the second part. So I failed this mission dozens of times as a kid. But once you've got it down, this is one of the easier gold medals in the game. Also: If you suicide into the communication relays, you'll respawn with full bombs. You're allowed one death for gold.
The Y wing is the work horse of the rebel fleet it’s not quick or flashy but it gets the job done its has armor and a strong shield which is good because it never goes anywhere fast.
I love this level for it's creepy atmosphere... but I wish you had more ships to choose from. Why just the Y-Wing? Why not the B-Wing, or Slave I (which is supposed to have ION cannons; also, Slave I needed some major improvements in this game). Way I see it, they should've made it so that you don't need Proton Bombs to destroy the turrets and buildings; just ION cannons to disable the shields, and destroy everything else with whatever you got.
VideoMask93 y wing is fine it’s bombs are devastating for guns and it can take a lot of abuse and repair itself. The b wing would have struggled to deal with all the buildings. The b wing is best for the star destroyer.
@@Barrobroadcastmaster That wouldn't be a problem if they allowed you to destroy the buildings with laser cannons instead of relying entirely on Proton Bombs. Any other mission in the game you can rely almost entirely on your lasers.
@@Aurik-Kal-Durin Yes but the B-Wing in this game absolutely sucks. It would've been terrible for this mission. The Y-Wing is awesome in Rogue Squadron 2 and 3 because the lasers are so close together and mounted on the nose, allowing it to be more accurate at longer distances.
For anyone struggling with this level. 1. You only need to take out the gun post things, don't bother with the walking things. 2. If you crash into the floor you'll respawn with 20 bombs again.
Took me a couple of tries to figure out how to destroy the shield generators, and then more tries to find the towers in the prison before they all died.
How do you drop proton bombs? I press B to go into bombing mode, but I pressed every button trying to drop the bombs. None of them worked. Tapping or holding B just toggles firing more, A always fires blasters. Help!
Press B to go into bombing mode. Your cursor will turn pink and the camera will tilt to looking at the ground. Press B again to drop a bomb. If you are having trouble, play the tutorial mission.
+99thJediWarrior Since this is a Gold Medal run, their deaths can count towards Friendlies Lost. Telling them to retreat gives them the best chances to stay alive.
Taking good consideration of the lives of your wingman is a good sign of leadership, putting their safety first before yours is always a good sign of a leader
Maw itself was under whatever the local governor is, Tarkin was just the commander of the Death Star, he might of taken control of the station since the Empire believe in a central command structure.
Um... What button do you use to switch to Ion Cannons in this game? Just asking as someone going through Rogue Leader through Dolphin Emulation after being weirded out by how Rebel Strike, the sequel, doesn't work despite running on the same engine.
@@BSKDAEMON I wound up looking it up online, but Thanks. I was a bit stupid to realise you had to hold down the B button at the time. And yeah, the game still holds up and I wish someone would remaster it and the other three Rogue games (Rogue Squadron, Episode I: Battle for Naboo, and Rebel Strike) because these are the best arcade flight games in the Star Wars Galaxy and they need bigger exposure, dammit.
Because this is a Gold medal run and one of the stats is how many allies survived the mission, which includes your wingmen. They can die offscreen for any number of reasons, so it's best for them to leave the area and minimize casualties.
For a 2001-2002 game this look gorgeous.
And for a game made in 9 months, its insanely impressive
Fun fact: Karie Neth is voiced by Grey DeLisle, the voice of Mandy and Azula.
Hah! I thought that voice sounded familiar!

I thought I recognized those voices those 2 have done over 100 Voice roles. Grey did Padmé & Shaak Ti in the 2D Clone Wars

Alkaid980 me too.
Me three
Shelter was in the Maw. It is where the Jedi Younglings including baby Ben Skywalker were hidden during the Vong War and Abeloth was hidden there too
This was a level I remember where there certainly was some extreme pressure to find your way around quickly. That guy freaking out over the intercom didn’t help much either.
One thing I always remember about this level is getting nuked by a Lambda shuttle that comes out of nowhere.

The same trick works when you commit suicide shortly before to enter the channels of the second death star.
One wonders why the Y-wing, space equivalent of the A-10, has to go without X-wing support to keep the fighters off its back.
Or why not use the B-Wing, replace it's torpedoes with bombs, it is a fighter-bomber.
What, the Y-Wing is in no way the equivalent of the A-10, it's an outdated underpowered fighter which seems better suited to being a bomber.
Y-wings are not slow. in the films they have speeds similar to X-wings
Y-wings without X-wing support seems foolish. B-Wings did not exist and under Alliance commander, B-wings only served with Achbar's fleet.
The Y wing is the work horse of the rebel fleet it’s not quick or flashy but it gets the job done its has armor and a strong shield which is good because it never goes anywhere fast.
u make this look so easy hardest level of my childhood did it so many times
Lol the knock off John Williams Asteroid Field composition is great.
It's not a knock off. This game used music from the movies in other levels. It's an homage.
@@garethdwright91 Not this one though. It's a remix
Who knew that slow impacts between asteroids resulted in a fireball every time.
I love this level for it's creepy atmosphere... but I wish you had more ships to choose from.

People might not have used the slow-arse Y-wings otherwise!
VideoMask93 y wing is fine it’s bombs are devastating for guns and it can take a lot of abuse and repair itself. The b wing would have struggled to deal with all the buildings. The b wing is best for the star destroyer.
The B-Wing would suck at this level. The B-Wing has 12 proton torpedoes, pitiful for this kind of a job.

Star Wars Rogue Squadron: Rogue Leader - The Battle near the Maw
For anyone struggling with this level. 1. You only need to take out the gun post things, don't bother with the walking things. 2. If you crash into the floor you'll respawn with 20 bombs again.
On a Side Note, there's an absolutely terrifying Being known as Abeloth in that Cluster...
Must've been complete hell for both the prisoners as well as the imperials stationed there.
@@AnakinSkywakka you need force users to unleash Abeloth or something
@@Warsie Or just destroying Centerpoint Station.
@@sambridgers9543 oof. is that new canon?
@@Warsie I was talking about how the destruction of Centerpoint Station in Legends was another catalyst for Abeloth being unleashed upon the galaxy.
That "Two more to go!...One more to go!" line carries this game harder than Filoni is carrying Disney canon, swear to God.
Replace "Filoni" with "Respawn Interactive" and this comment still works in 2024.
Rogue Squadron! Where's our cover?!
1:45 Dat Sound.
Very slick! I'm playing this for the first time on my gamecube. I am yet to beat this level! Hard to see anything with so much gray haha
Took me a couple of tries to figure out how to destroy the shield generators, and then more tries to find the towers in the prison before they all died.
The black hole was cool.
Someone makes this look easy. This mission makes me crazy! 😅
Are those normal mappings on the asteroids? The game was released in 2001 with very impressive and advanced tech.
I remember playing this game when I was small.
Phenomenal game. Only of the few annoying downsides however was almost every mission was under a timer.
If the prisoner leader's name is Carrie than I'm assuming that's a reference to Carrie Fisher.
Well her name is spelled Karie Neth.
Probably, rip :(
I wish we had a few more missions. It feels to short.
I always tried to make my wing men crash into the asteroids

I don’t have the manual, so I have no idea what I am supposed to do in this level, none of the controls make sense.
Why do you tell your wingmen to retreat so much?

Gotcha. To be honest, I first thought it was because they would be in the way.
LOL

Least favorite mission
This mission is ridiculously hard
Is this the Maw Installation commanded by Admiral Daala?
Nearby.
I thought the Maw Installation was run by Tarkin, he had a secret research base located in The Maw.
Maw itself was under whatever the local governor is, Tarkin was just the commander of the Death Star, he might of taken control of the station since the Empire believe in a central command structure.
@@Seriona1 Tarkin was moff of most of the Outer Rim so he would be the (over, not sector) governor for the Kessel System
I just keep getting fucking destroyed by the time I take out the shield. Could they have created a more annoying level?
Um... What button do you use to switch to Ion Cannons in this game?
Just asking as someone going through Rogue Leader through Dolphin Emulation after being weirded out by how Rebel Strike, the sequel, doesn't work despite running on the same engine.
Hold B until the cursor turns blue. Let go to fire.
@@BSKDAEMON I wound up looking it up online, but Thanks. I was a bit stupid to realise you had to hold down the B button at the time.
And yeah, the game still holds up and I wish someone would remaster it and the other three Rogue games (Rogue Squadron, Episode I: Battle for Naboo, and Rebel Strike) because these are the best arcade flight games in the Star Wars Galaxy and they need bigger exposure, dammit.
Tie fighters behind you I'm just kidding
Why don't they just fly around the shield
there's mines all around the shield. In this mission there's a secret timer so spending 15 minutes to go around wouldn't cut it
How do you use the ion cannon?
Press and hold b until the aiming crosshair turns blue. Let go to fire.
Yeah just figured that one out, thanks for the fast response wow!
@@BSKDAEMON Now onto the imperial star destroyer
3:37 Carl Wheezer 😂
Yep, that’s Rob Paulsen talking.
I drink bleach every time I remember this level
So why was this place called a “Maw”?
It was a cluster of black holes
Couldnt best ever this one?
If this level ran better on Dolphin, I might be able to get gold.
WiiU with nintendont works flawlessly
2:33 how did you change the purple target 🎯 on the sensors?
Hold down b to charge your ion cannon, once its blue then its fully charged.
Anakin Skywakka thank you.
0:00 to 10:11
Where’s the fun in this game if you don’t have your squad with you you have them retreat every single mission 🙄
