Replay: Star Wars Rebel Assault 2

With the release of Star Wars: The Old Republic, everyone on staff has Star Wars fever. There's always a little bit of Star Wars fever going around, to be honest, but we're nearing a true epidemic. In honor of our sickness (which has kept some folks at home to recuperate on their PCs), we decided to delve into the classic Rebel Assault 2. Star Wars Rebel Assault was the first time since Return of the Jedi that actors dressed up to play Star Wars characters, and the time it was incredibly exciting.

Join Andrew Reiner, Jeff Cork, Matt Helgeson, annd Bryan Vore as they relive their favorite Star Wars movies and wonder, what ever happened to Chris Tucker?

  • My brother and I used to play this for hours on end! Ahhh childhood memories.
  • I remember playing this all the time, great game at the time.

  • This game is pretty sweet.

    I read somewhere that the montage in Episode 3 is an homage to the killing montage from Goodfellas. What is interesting is that the killing montage in Goodfellas is an homage to the killing montage in The Godfater Part 1. Fun movie fact of the day.
  • 4th!!!
  • I got this game as a gift once, never heard of it, played it, loved it. Still own it, and I don't even have the console to play it anymore.

  • Oh my God I love this game! I played the crap out of this when I was younger. I remember buying this Star Wars collection from Babbages and this was one of the game in it and I couldn't stop playing it. The one part that I always got stuck on was the part where you have to fly the ship through the canyon. I must have played that part for weeks before I finally beat it.
  • You know, I never even heard of this game.
  • I never played this, but Dark Forces is one of my favorite games of all time.

  • Awesome, haven't heard Matt Helgeson on a replay in a long time!

  • I used to play this, I absolutely loved it! It was one of the first games I beat as a child :)

  • Great Replay! I can say I played through and completed Star Wars Rebel Assault 2. But I did try to play Fifth Element because of my love for the movie. 5 minutes into the game I stopped, shut it off, and walked away silently. Terrible, terrible game haha.

  • Can't wait for Overblood 2...that is all.
  • Yes, part of my saturday tradition, watching these!

  • Great game, lots of good times with this one. Can't wait to watch!

  • I remember sneaking into the basement to play this on my older brothers PS1 on the time. I was addicted to it!

    EDIT: Also they are complaining about the inverted controls. Are the controls inverted in the sense that up means down for flight and down means up? Because if so I don't know a single person who would play a flying game where up means up and down means down.
  • Why is GI's player so crappy?!?!?!? Funny video though.
  • I was hoping for Battlefront :(

  • Man, I still have this game I think. Might've been the first Star Wars game I owned.

  • great game, really great me and my brother used to play it on the pc all the time, rebel assault II that is. Why didnt you try going into first person for the last flying bit or couldnt you I remember being able too but not 100 percent was a long time ago?

    But yeah was great game, but dont get what you where saying about not being able to read the star wars text I could read it on the flash player. Fifth Element game was pretty bad if I remember not sure.
  • The Fifth Element is one of my all time favorite movies. Great mix of space, story telling, action, comedy and Milla Jovavich. I try not to over analyze Bruce Willis Action Flicks™. :P

    UPDATE: And yes, The Fifth Element does hold up. ^
