Star Wars: Rogue Squadron III: Rebel Strike is the third entry in the Star Wars: Rogue Squadron video game series, released in 2003 exclusively for the Nintendo GameCube, developed by Factor 5 and published by LucasArts. It is currently a Player's Choice title.

It added to the game the ability for the player to depart their starship and join in on a land battle as well as enter into land vehicles such as an Imperial AT-AT and AT-ST during certain missions.

The game is divided into two campaigns, Wedge Antilles's and Luke Skywalker's, plus a Battle of Endor campaign where the player takes control of Luke, Arvel Crynyd, and Chewbacca. It also has a multiplayer function, where the player and one other person can play all of the previous game's missions co-operatively or compete in split-screen competitions.

Opening crawlEdit

It is a dark time for the
Rebellion. Though the Death
Star has been destroyed,
the Empire remains intent
on crushing the Alliance.

A massive Imperial fleet
has invaded the Rebel base
on Yavin 4 in an attempt to
capture the Rebel leaders,
enacting swift retribution
for the Alliance's earlier
victory.

In the face of this assault,
a small squad of freedom
fighters led by the heroic
LUKE SKYWALKER and
WEDGE ANTILLES attempt
to escape the planet for a
new secret base....

MultiplayerEdit

There are five different multiplayer game types; they are Dogfight, Rampage, Tag and Defend, Special, and co-op

• Dogfight is a simple 1 on 1 battle in the spacecraft of your choice.
• Rampage involves players getting points via destroying things.
• Tag and Defend is the most complicated. Players must control certain buildings. You generate 1 point per 15 seconds per building you control. Buildings you control automatically begin building defenses. You can capture enemy buildings by destroying them. Whoever reaches the point limit first wins.
• Special is composed of races through well known Star Wars locales and and a version of Rampage but with ground vehicles.
• Co-op is a campaign style of play. Most of the co-op levels are single player levels from Star Wars: Rogue Squadron II: Rogue Leader, with minor changes.

ContinuityEdit

The three arcade games based on the original trilogy are included as bonuses. Star Wars is unlocked after finishing "Death Star Rescue", The Empire Strikes Back after "Triumph of the Rebellion" and Return of the Jedi is only available through a cheat code (specifically, "!?ATH!RD GAME?YES").

After the player beats the game, the unlockable special feature The Making of Star Wars: Rogue Squadron III: Rebel Strike can be opened.
