The rumored sequel would have been titled “Imperial Commando” and would have started with the squad attempting to rescue Sev after their orders were completed, and they do, only for Sev to turn his back on the republic as he viewed himself expendable to them. Sev goes on to be a founding member of the rebel army, and was an antagonist of the game. At least one level would have included the remaining three members of Delta Squad at the Jedi Temple after Order 66.

_"You lizards need to learn I'm a lot scarier than you are"_ is, and remains, one of my all time favorite badass one-liners

[JeffVader]

I love how, on the highest difficulties, the other commandos are batter at killing and surviving that you are. Multiple times I went down and was ready to reload the save but the other three would kill all the droids and revive me.

[ClonedGamer]

My favorite little detail is how when Delta is introduced, even without dialogue you can tell what kind of characters they are. Fixer is standing at attention and gives a salute when introduced, Scorch is leaning against a crate very casually and gives a thumbs up, and Sev is tinkering with his weapon and gives a simple nod.

It doesn't fully reveal their characters, but it gives you some idea of what they're like.

Worldbuilding fact: projectile weapons in Star Wars are usually called “slugthrowers” and Mandalorians would use them specifically to fight Jedi. Lightsabers can deflect blasters no problem, but if a Jedi tries to deflect an actual bullet, they get a face full of shrapnel for their trouble.

[HellWrex]

The idea that the commandos fly into battle seperate, is likely because “as we’ve seen in just about every form of star wars entertainment”, dropships tend to get blasted out of the sky… like a lot. So, separating the team into different ships, reducing the chance of losing the squad to AA

[vzerby]

How dare you not win the scene when during the level "Saving the Ship" when they're calling for help and then there's a couple seconds of nothing happening and Boss respond to it with "I guess we're on our own." That moment really cemented so much about the squad as a whole. They were ready to do their job and fight against literal impossible odds and do it with straight faces. It was a solid way of cementing how badass they Commandos were.

I think this game is worth every fps fan's time. It had good mechanics, level design, and plot development. Somehow it reminds me of Black, cuz you have a vague goal from the beginning that you learn more about as you progress until the final objective is defined in the last few levels.

[zevonweinreich]

I owned this game when it first came out and beating it was a huge milestone back when I was young. My personal favorite mission was the Ghost Ship because of the hidden lightsaber right before you face the Heavy Trando. 38 says 'A more elegant weapon for a more civilized age? Well guess what: times have changed!' A badass fucking line.

[jeebus]

Fun fact: After the segment where Sev shoots down the Geonosian fighter, shortly before you head down the elevator to the hive, your advisor makes a reference to "36's squad" being 'incapacitated'. This is a reference to Theta Squad, and more specifically, Darman (RC-1136), one of the main characters from the Republic Commando novels who's original squad was wiped out on Geonosis and he was later transferred to Omega Squad for the rest of the series.

[aidancortney]

I love the Easter egg in the RAS level where you can find a lost lightsaber in a side corridor, and 38 says something like, "An elegant weapon for a more civilized time, huh? Well guess what, times have changed..."

[NerdWithGuns]

Missed one of the BEST one-liners in the game. On the Prosecuter, when you’re split up from the squad, you can actually find a lightsaber laying on the ground. You can’t pick it up, and Boss will even say, “An elegant weapon for a more civilized time, huh? Well guess what? Times have changed!” Like the commandos are too good to pick up and use a lightsaber, even when they’re on their own on a ghost ship fighting lizard slavers. And this is right before the first Trandoshan Heavy fight, by the way. If there’s anywhere in the game a lightsaber would come in handy, it’s right there.

[AutumnWoodham]

2:28 That may make sense for the real world, where you can see a persons face, but when your units are fully armored from from head to toe and even have the same face, color is the easiest way to quickly distinguish who's who, to know who is in charge, who is best skilled in different areas, and what one's rank and even squad. In short, a real life comparison matters very little to fantasy space armors for clones of the same person.

[cristianbernal]

If you want more Republic Commando content; HIGHLY SUGGEST reading the Commando books by Karen Travis. A fantastic setting of the Mandalorians as we know and love by the Mother of Mandalore herself.

[dyllanrodriguez]

God I’d kill for a remake of RC, I loved this game. One of the few Star Wars games that was really starting to dig into the grittiness of the war aspects.

[strykerryder]

Vode An has become the de facto theme for the mandalorians as a whole. It is played during the Knights of the Fallem Empire expansion of SWTOR when you team up with the mandalorian clans.

[ayaxmcgill]

It's so clear that this game eventually inspired the creation of the bad batch, and I love it for that

[zarafex-]

This was my 1st game on my gaming pc. So many memories. "This Delux model is the only thing standing between you and a bloody death so you best be showing some respect trooper". I still remember dialogs from it sooo good.

[jasonl]

I loved the game back in 05, it was phenomenal good fun and the squad mechanics have stood the test of time, it remains a tragedy that it never got a true sequel (aside from novelizations, and Delta Squads brief cameo in Clone Wars & alleged Scorch cameo in Bad Batch)
I was also so happy to hear my boy Raphael Sbarge voicing Scorch after his turn as Carth in KotOR 1 and 2, because unlike Carth, Scorch most certainly wants to talk about it.

[themandalore]

@3:11 that is actually canon. In the republic commando novels which were canon with this game in legends. The clones sung Vode An as a reminder of their Mandalorian heritage during battle and free times. Even going so far as to perform the Dha Werda verda which is a Mandalorian war chant and dance.
