E3, 2004. 
A new game is unveiled. 
A mature, gory tactical squad-based shooter for the original Xbox, slated to offer the Microsoft console a game that can rival the Tom Clancy games and compare to the first party Halo series.

And it’s a Star Wars game?
This is Star Wars Republic Commando - 16 years later.

Star Wars isn’t exactly the first franchise one thinks of when imaging a hardcore mature first-person shooter, but it’s this exact stereotype a small internal team at LucasArts was trying to tear down.

Before the release of the Star Wars prequels, starting in 1999, LucasArts created all kinds of games, not just limiting themselves to their namesakes most famous invention, but when they did make Star Wars games, they made them as passion projects.

Unique games dreamt up by developers to tackle new gameplay ideas, aiming to advance and even create their own genres.

The Star Wars universe was simply an established backdrop to original video game premises that would’ve been interesting in their own right.

Titles such as the Tie Fighter and X-Wing series, to the Kyle Katarn saga of action-adventure shooters, all were praised for being good games, regardless of their association to the multi-million dollar franchise.

But with the prequels soon to be released, production at Lucas Arts instead began to shift towards checking boxes to release as many Star Wars related products as they could, and in as many genres as existed.
