Star Wars: Republic Commando reemerged into the spotlight in 2021, as Lucasfilm Games released a remaster of the title developed by Aspyr that coincided with the release of The Bad Batch, an animated Star Wars series that focuses on a group of clone commandos navigating the galaxy after the events of Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith. Lucasfilm Games has announced a number of new Star Wars titles since the beginning of 2021, following the conclusion of an earlier deal with EA that gave the publisher exclusive access to the Star Wars license. While EA's tenure with the license was divisive, it illustrated the potential there was in revisiting older Star Wars video games, with developer DICE's two Star Wars Battlefront titles both featuring in the top five best-selling Star Wars games of all time. A planned sequel to Star Wars: Republic Commandowas infamously cancelled by LucasArts shortly after making it to the conceptual stage of development, but with Star Wars: The Bad Batch recently referencing the protagonists of the first game, Delta Squad, as well as exploring how the clone commando program worked during the early stages of the Empire, now's the perfect time for the sequel to be revived.
