Man, I’ve been hearing whispers about a 'Republic Commando' remaster for ages, and it’s got me hyped but also kinda skeptical. That game was such a gem—the gritty squad dynamics, the visceral blaster sounds, the way it made you feel like a real clone trooper. But with Disney’s spotty track record with remasters (looking at you, 'Battlefront II' re-release), I’m torn between hope and caution.

Honestly, if they do it right—preserving the original’s tactical depth while maybe polishing the visuals and adding some QoL tweaks—it could be legendary. But if it’s just a lazy cash grab? Ugh. Fingers crossed they treat it like 'Dark Forces' got treated, not like an afterthought.

Rumors about a remaster have been floating around forums for years, and every time a new Star Wars game gets announced, I hold my breath. 'Republic Commando' deserves more love—it’s one of the few FPS games that made squad commands actually fun. Imagine it with modern controls, ray tracing, and maybe even co-op? But I’d settle for just a stable PC port that doesn’t crash on startup. The original’s jank was part of its charm, but I’d trade that for smoother gameplay in a heartbeat.

the idea of a remaster hits hard. That game’s atmosphere was unmatched—the eerie claustrophobia of the Kashyyyk levels, the banter between Delta Squad. If they remaster it, I’d kill for updated graphics and maybe even some new voice lines from Temuera Morrison to tie it into current canon. But part of me worries they’ll mess with the pacing or tone. It was perfect as a gritty war story, not everything needs to be 'Clone Wars' shiny.

If they’re smart, they’ll remaster 'Republic Commando' and throw in a sequel hook. That cliffhanger ending still haunts me—what happened to Sev? A remaster could test the waters for a full-blown revival. But with EA’s exclusivity deal ending, maybe Aspyr or Nightdive could handle it? They’ve nailed retro remasters before. Just don’t let it become another 'GoldenEye 007' disaster where licensing kills the vibe.

Can you play Star Wars: Republic Commando on PS5?

Man, I wish I could dust off my old copy of 'Star Wars: Republic Commando' and pop it into my PS5, but sadly, it’s not that simple. The game originally came out for Xbox and PC back in 2005, and it never got a native PS2 release, let alone a remaster or backward compatibility patch for modern consoles. The PS5 doesn’t support discs or digital versions of the game, which is a real bummer because that tactical FPS vibe with Delta Squad still holds up. That said, if you’re itching for that gritty, squad-based 'Star Wars' experience, you might want to check out 'Battlefront II''s co-op missions or even 'Jedi: Fallen Order' for some single-player action. It’s not the same, but it’s something. Maybe one day Disney will greenlight a remaster—fingers crossed!

Man, this takes me back! 'Star Wars: Republic Commando' was such a gritty, immersive game—it felt like peeling back a darker layer of the Clone Wars era. The short answer is yes, it was canon... until Disney reshuffled everything post-2014. The game originally fit snugly into the old Expanded Universe (now Legends), but under the new continuity, only the films, 'The Clone Wars' series, and select newer material hold that status. Honestly, it’s a shame because Delta Squad’s dynamic and the tactical FPS vibe were so fresh. They even got a sneaky cameo in 'The Bad Batch,' which kinda softens the blow—like a nod to fans who miss the old lore. That said, the game’s spirit lives on in weird ways. The Mandalorian cultural details and clone camaraderie it introduced still influence current canon, like how 'The Mandalorian' digs into warrior codes. It’s not official anymore, but you can tell the creators still cherry-pick the coolest bits. For me, Republic Commando’s legacy is like a ghost in the machine—technically non-canon, but its DNA’s all over the newer stories.
