Probably one of the worst parts of the "new" canon was that they eliminated the possibility of anymore games like it for the foreseeable future. Great job with marketing, Disney!!!
Rogue 2: Commander Skywalker Do you copy? This is rogue 2. Han: Good morning nice of you to drop by! Rogue 2: Echo base this is rogue 2. Ive found them I repeat I found them!
I miss the practical effects and stories that didnt feel the need to be part of some giant universe. Like this is the first of its kind in terms of sequels, most sequels at the time sucked. Just one movie, some innovative fx, great music, and fun stories. And then the prequels came out and changed hollywood for the worse XD
EXT. BOTTOM OF CLOUD CITY The Falcon races away. It is closely followed by three TIE fighters, all of which keep up a heavy laser assault on the fleeing starship. INT. MILLENNIUM FALCON - COCKPIT Explosions erupt all around the cockpit, buffeting the ship wildly. Chewie howls as he frantically tries to control the ship. Leia and Chewie turns to see Luke, bloody and battered, enter the cockpit supported by Lando. Leia jumps up and hugs him while Chewie barks in joyous relief. LUKE Oh, Leia. LANDO All right, Chewie. Let's go. Leia helps Luke from the cockpit as another huge blast rocks the ship. EXT. SPACE - CLOUD CITY - DAY The Falcon, still followed by the three TIE fighters, races away from the cloud-covered city. INT. MILLENNIUM FALCON - SLEEPING QUARTERS Luke rests on a cot, his injured arm wrapped in a protective cuff. Leia gently wipes his face. The ship lurches again. LEIA I'll be back. She kisses him, then leaves the quarters. INT. MILLENNIUM FALCON - COCKPIT All over the ship muted alarm buzzers sound. Lando anxiously watches the flashing lights on the control panel and hurriedly adjusts some switches. Seated next to him, Chewie points out a new blip appearing on the panel. Leia, watching over their shoulders, recognizes the shape. LEIA Star Destroyer. LANDO All right, Chewie. Ready for light-speed. LEIA If your people fixed the hyperdrive. Another explosion rocks the ship. Leia notices as a green light on the panel next to her flashes on. LEIA All the coordinates are set. It's now or never. Chewie barks in agreement. LANDO Punch it! The Wookiee shrugs and pulls back on the light-speed throttle. The sound of the ion engine changes...it is winding up. Faces are tense, expectant. But nothing happens, and the engine goes off. Chewie lets out a frustrated howl. The flak still violently rocks the ship. LANDO They told me they fixed it. I trusted them to fix it. It's not my fault! Chewie gets up from his chair and starts out of the cockpit. He gives Lando and angry shove as he storms past him. EXT. SPACE In the distance the TIE fighters continue their chase, still shooting lasers. Vader's Star Destroyer moves behind them, determinedly following the Falcon. INT. VADER'S STAR DESTROYER - BRIDGE Vader stands on the bridge looking out the window as Admiral Piett approaches him. PIETT They'll be in range of our tractor beam in moments, my lord. VADER Did your men deactivate the hyperdrive on the Millennium Falcon? PIETT Yes, my lord. VADER Good. Prepare the boarding party and set your weapons for stun. PIETT Yes, my lord. INT. MILLENNIUM FALCON Beeping while he works, Artoo is busy connecting some wires to Threepio who now has one leg attached. Chewie enters through the doorway, grunting to himself. THREEPIO Noisy brute. Why don't we just go into light-speed? Artoo beeps in response. THREEPIO We can't? How would you know the hyperdrive is deactivated? Artoo whistles knowingly. THREEPIO The city's central computer told you? Artoo-Detoo, you know better than to trust a strange computer. Ouch! Pay attention to what you're doing! Chewie is in the pit. He is trying to loosen something with an enormous wrench. Frustrated, he uses the wrench like a club and hits the panel... INT. MILLENNIUM FALCON - COCKPIT Leia and Lando, seated in front of the control panel, are suddenly sprayed by a shower of sparks. INT. VADER'S STAR DESTROYER - BRIDGE Vader stands on the bridge, watching as the Millennium Falcon is chased by the TIE fighters. As his Destroyer draws nearer, Vader's breathing gets slightly faster. VADER Luke. INT. MILLENNIUM FALCON - SLEEPING QUARTERS Luke realizes that Vader's ship is very near. He feels resigned to his fate. He senses that he is beaten, more emotionally than physically. LUKE Father. INT. VADER'S STAR DESTROYER - BRIDGE VADER Son, come with me. INT. MILLENNIUM FALCON - SLEEPING QUARTERS LUKE (moaning) Ben, why didn't you tell me? INT. MILLENNIUM FALCON - COCKPIT Lando and Leia are at the controls of the Falcon. Meanwhile, in the ship's hold, Chewie continues to work frantically on the hyperdrive mechanism. LANDO (into intercom) Chewie! EXT. SPACE The Falcon races through space followed very closely by the TIE fighters and the huge Imperial Star Destroyer. INT. MILLENNIUM FALCON - COCKPIT Luke enters the cockpit and looks out the window. He is almost unconscious with pain and depression. LUKE It's Vader. INT. VADER'S STAR DESTROYER - BRIDGE VADER Luke... it is your destiny. INT. MILLENNIUM FALCON - COCKPIT LUKE Ben, why didn't you tell me? INT. VADER'S STAR DESTROYER - BRIDGE PIETT Alert all commands. Ready for the tractor beam. INT. MILLENNIUM FALCON - HOLD Artoo races to a control panel and starts working on a circuit board. Furious, Threepio stands on one leg, yelling. THREEPIO Artoo, come back at once! You haven't finished with me yet! You don't know how to fix the hyperdrive. Chewbacca can do it. I'm standing here in pieces, and you're having delusions of grandeur! Artoo moves a circuit on a control panel. Suddenly, the control panel lights up. INT. MILLENNIUM FALCON - COCKPIT Leia and Lando are thrown into their seats as the Millennium Falcon unexpectedly shoot into hyperspace. INT. MILLENNIUM FALCON - HOLD The ship tilts up and Artoo topples into the pit on top of Chewie. THREEPIO Oh, you did it! EXT. SPACE The Falcon soars into infinity and away from the huge Star Destroyer which seems, by contrast, to stand still. INT. VADER'S STAR DESTROYER - BRIDGE Admiral Piett and another captain glance at Vader in terror. Vader turns slowly and walks off the bridge, his hands held behind his back in a contemplative gesture.
@@majestyvondoom The Filoni-Favreau shows are but Kathleen Kennedy and her little Ruin Johnson and Disphit Abrams utterly fucked the post-Mando/Boba cannon. They should unironically just redo it tbh. If they need the original cast again and they don't wanna come back-they have CGI methods and have proven themselves willing to use them. Have Filoni and Favreau direct it and make Disney sign a contract that they have NO say in what happens in the new sequels. None.
Jedi Academy - Stopping a runaway Coruscant tram from exploding. The game used a lot of music from the ESB score and revisited some locations from the OT, which is what made it so much fun to play.
