There was new merch and, perhaps best of all,The Phantom Menacereturned to cinemas to celebrate its 25th anniversary.
Another iconic bit of Star Wars media will soon be celebrating a major anniversary:Star Wars: Republic Commando.
Originally released in 2005, this LucasArts gem will celebrate its 20th birthday next year. Naturally, we’d love to see an official remake but no such thing has yet been announced.
You can always rely on fans to get the job done though. One dedicated developer has set about faithfully remaking the game inUnreal Engine5 and the results are very impressive.

The Acolytewill have a two episode premiere on Disney Plus on 4 June. Take a look at the show in action below.
Unfortunately, it doesn’t look as if the creator is set to expand the remake much further given the time it’s taken to create just the intro.

We cannot complain though because the intro is such a gift. Take a look at the incredible project below.
“It was a blast to work on, and I sincerely appreciate all your kindness, support and feedback,” wrote Oleksandr.

While he may be done with his work onRepublic Commando, Oleksandr has teased an “even bigger” project not based on Star Wars that’s in the pipeline.
We’re not ready to move on fromRepublic Commandojust yet though. This stunning project gives us a realistic idea at what a full remake could look like and based on what we see, it’s a need, not a want.
“I got goosebumps,” one viewer said. Me too buddy, me too.
