Attack of the Clones Had 6 Completely Different Tie-in Games

The ultimate test to see if Jango is worthy of the template for the clone army is to get him to murder a trained force user. That's some neat foreshadowing.

Dooku actually kept his former apprentice's lightsabers after Jango killed her and gave them to Ventress. He ABSOLUTELY has a type.

These games were all a part of the clone wars multimedia project where there was an impressive coordinated effort to tell the 3 year story of the clone wars in real time leading up to the release of Revenge of The Sith across multiple mediums. Comics, novels, games and animation all telling clone wars stories with characters changing and developing as they get closer to ROTS, notably Anakin. They way the games expanded the story and sometimes tying back into the expanded universe lore is so cool and something we don't see anymore or even back then.

Fun fact: When BioWare set up a deal with Lucasarts to make a Star Wars game, LucasArts gave BioWare a choice of settings for the game. They could either do an Episode II game or go 4,000 years back. BioWare chose to set the game four thousand years before the films as it gave them greater creative freedom. And thus we got Knights of the Old Republic.

Fun fact: Assaj Ventress isn't just using the same style of lightsabre as Komari Vosa. They are the same lightsabres. After Vosa was killed by Jango Fett, Dooku retrieved her lightsabres and passed them onto his next apprentice.

Bounty Hunter was one of my favorite classic LucasArts games. It's the reason why I was so excited for 1313, but we all know how that went...

The Clone Wars and Bounty Hunter are some of my favorite early 2000's games. I had a lot of fondness for the Clone Wars' Conquest multiplayer mode.

I remember in Bounty Hunter, the most effective method of beating Vosa that I found was to tie her up (which can only be done after she's attempted a combo or two, otherwise it just whizzes through her) and melee her to death. Actually did more damage than the blasters. The side bounties were great, though trying to scan them in crowds of enemies was the worst. The best thing was using Gameshark to have unlimited jetpack fuel lol

I remember playing episode 2 for the GBA as a kid. That was the first time I realized a game could be bad.

I'm glad you covered the Clone Wars arena multiplayer horde mode because it's literally the only part of the game I remember XD

Jedi Starfighter's blooper real is the most memorable part of the game for me, primarily because it confirms toasters exist in the Star Wars universe.

18:13 The Expanded Universe managed to explain it by saying that it was a force doppelganger (something like what Luke did in the end of TLJ but was physical) that Dooku could control but was a far weaker version which also explains why Anakin managed to defeat it. Weird I know.

I remember buying Episode 2 for the GBA brand new for $2 at a dollar store. As a kid I just assumed they didn’t know what they had and thought it was my lucky day. I was mistaken

Wow, had a serious nostalgia hit seeing Galactic Battlegrounds gameplay again. I put 100s of hours into that game as a kid, and made dozens of custom campaigns with full stories that literally nobody but myself will ever play or see.

Oh. 20 years passed. Can't believe it. Still feels like it was yesterday, time flies by. Still remember how I struggled with Bounty Hunter, there were silly secondary missions, where you had to tie some of your enemies. And I always accidently killed them and had to restart the level. Thank you for bringing my memories again.

I absolutely loved the Clone Wars game - the Republic Fighter Tank became my favourite Star Wars vehicle after that. You have no idea how badly I wanted a die cast model of it. VS was great and it’s one of the few games were you get to fly a Republic Gunship and use the beam turrets (seriously, the wing beam turrets are barely used at all - not in the show, not in games, just not addressed). I didn’t get to play it much because I was too young to be able to really grasp the controls and properly understand the game; always wanted a remaster.

"I can't help but think of Assaji Ventress when I see this evil lady" 21:50 "She's even got the same dual lightsabers" Oh how right you were, and you didn't even know it. So the lightsabers that Komari Vosa has, ARE Assaji Ventress's lightsabers (in the EU obviously). Remember in the 2D Clone Wars, Ventress is introduced in an arena, with blue, and green lightsabers. After agreeing to hunt down Anakin, Dooku gives her a gift, two red lightsabers in a little box. These are Komari Vosa's lightsabers. Dooku took them after She died in this game, and kept them for 10+ years until he found Ventress. She reminded him of Vosa, so he decided to gift her Vosa's lightsabers. Man the EU was so cool, and well thought out.

I love Bounty Hunter. It's a little janky and the scanner mechanic is very clunky. But there's a ton of stuff to unlock and the main gameplay and level design is reeally cool. Jango's entire arsenal is awesome too. What I love most about it is the story. Count Dooku is very manipulative and conniving in it. Jango has a nice character arc where he learns to care about more than just money. And the questions answered from the film are done so in a satisfying and interesting way. Always hoped that it would get a sequel or a remake. At this point, I'd settle for a PC port. One of my favorites from the Gamecube.

Common misconception.. Adi Gallia wasn't killed in episode 3 on the speeder bikes. She died before order 66. That is another person of the same species.

That scene where Vosa has captured Jango is one of those scenes that has you like: "I hope my parents won't walk in right now."
