"Niiiice work, Rogue Squadron." Rogue Squadron Trilogy Wiimake Compilation in the Works?

Well, it is certainly true this game will include 2 to 3 versions of Hoth, but there are some fun, new levels too...particularly in the original RS.

 

I hate to be a bubble burster, but the Ewoks didn't actually live on Endor. It was actually one of Endor's moons where ROTJ took place (called the Sanctuary moon).

 

The forest moon is also called Endor..

"NEEEEERRRRRRDDD!!!"

 

T2Q, I ask thee...why the K-wing?! I can see it now: flying 30 miles above the bleak deserts of Tatooine in the first mission for RS1, strafing the probe droids (and with them, homesteads) with the ridiculous amount of turrets mounted on said K-wing.

...But I may have a bias for a certain other bomber type out there, one that's been tried and true for the entire series.

 

BWing?

 

No way, he's definitely talking about the Scimitar Assault Bomber.

 

On that last point about the fun of unlockables, you have me.
I suppose it would be fun laying waste to the spaceports of Kile II in that thing, though like you said I'm *still* not holding my breath on it actually making it into the series.

 

If you want to get technical about it, then there's nothing to say your basic X-wing or Y-wing can't be configured with different weapons either. X-wing Alliance pretty much let every ship carry any warhead, while Rogue Squadron had that one level where your X-wing was armed with ion cannons.

 

Somebody REALLY loves his K-Wing....

 

yeah I'll be buyin this too.

As for the battle of hoth, its the best battle ever.

Its got giant walkers, how does that stop being fun?

 

If this game happens, they need to combine all the movie-based levels into a single playthrough "Trilogy Mode". Film footage (and perhaps an all-new level or two) could be added to bridge the levels, which would follow in one continuous narrative. Individual levels would serve as checkpoints for players who need to take a break and pick it up later.

STAR WARS levels
Tatooine Training (RS version) (Players would have the option of skipping past this tutorial level)
Death Star Rescue* (RS bonus mission)
Death Star Escape* (RL bonus mission)
Death Star Attack (RL)
THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK levels
Battle of Hoth/Battlefield Hoth** (RL/RS)
Escape from Hoth* (RS bonus mission)
The Asteroid Field* (RL bonus mission)
Trials of a Jedi (RS)
Escape from Bespin (RS bonus mission)
RETURN OF THE JEDI levels
Sarlaac Pit (RS)
Speeder Bike Pursuit (RS)
Battle of Endor (RS)
Triumph of the Rebellion (RS)
Attack on the Executor (RS bonus mission)
Strike at the Core (RL)

Notes:
This list is based on the notion that LucasArts isn't planning on creating new levels. Obviously if they get more in-depth, these levels could be changed or blended, and new levels could created to flesh out the list.
*If possible, Death Star Rescue/Death Star Escape and Escape from Hoth/The Asteroid Field should flow into each other without a break, to play as if they were combined into a single level.
**When Luke's speeder goes down, players could be presented with the option of continuing as Luke or switching to Wedge as in the original RL level.

 

Also, you're looking at some major gamer-discombobulation from the differing Wedge voice-actors when you combine/connect levels from the two games -- Denis Lawson from Rogue Leader, and whoever the dude was in Rebel Strike. They'd probably end up having to get one actor or the other to come in and completely redo the dialogue from whichever game they weren't in to make it all match up.

 

Fortunately, Wedge isn't really involved in the combined levels*. The only movie levels to feature the character are Death Star Attack, Battle of Hoth, Battle of Endor, and Strike at the Core, which are all from Rogue Leader and feature Denis Lawson. (unless I missed it and his voice pops up in Attack on the Executor)

*Battle of Hoth features Wedge, but Battlefield Hoth doesn't, so there's no problem there.

 

What about the original Rogue Squadren? Who voiced Wedge in that?

And should they try to splice in those missions as well, or just leave them separate, as they mostly aren't movie missions?

 

They made a big song and dance about how they got Dennis Lawson to be in Rogue Leader at the time, I remember.

 

Yeah, plus there's the photo of Lawson on the exterior of the RL box, saying "Featuring the Original Wedge!" (or words to that effect).
