About

Star Wars: Rogue Squadron III – Rebel Strike is an action game developed by Factor 5 for the Nintendo GameCube, released in 2003. The third entry in the Rogue Squadron series, it follows the Rebel Alliance's struggle against Darth Vader and Imperial forces across missions involving iconic craft and vehicles from the films, including X-wings, B-wings, speeder bikes, AT-STs, and tauntauns. A notable addition to the series formula is on-foot combat, taking players out of the cockpit to engage enemies directly on the ground while guiding characters such as Luke, Wedge, Han, Chewbacca, and Leia. Multiplayer expands the experience considerably, offering cooperative play through the complete Rogue Leader campaign alongside dedicated modes including dogfighting, endurance, and capture-the-base. The game aimed for a cinematic presentation throughout, grounding its action in the visual style of the original Star Wars trilogy.
