So, when the Gamecube launched, Star Wars: Rogue Squadron II: Rogue Leader was pretty high on my list of most-wanted games. Or, at least a mix of Star Wars: X-Wing and the first level of Star Wars: Shadow of the Empire. So, if you had a love for X-Wings and Snowspeeders, it was like porn. While the entire Star Wars franchise would soon descend into an obsession with space magic, Rogue Squadron presented a depiction of the war between Imperials and Rebels with a focus on the hardware. Star Wars: Rogue Squadron on the N64 was a big factor in my love for the franchise. But unlike my Pokemon stuff that got pulled out after my relationship with it recovered, my Star Wars stuff can fester. My tremendous collection of Star Wars stuff got boxed up and put in my parents’ basement next to my Pokemon stuff. Then, like everything involving puberty, it just started to rot after a few bad experiences got thrown at me. I was huge into Star Wars in my pre-teen years.
