However, the proposed sequel would see Sev escape from this situation and continue his military career with the nascent Rebel Alliance. The campaign of Republic Commando ended in a cliffhanger, with the character left behind on Wookie homeworld Kashyyyk and likely killed in the ongoing combat taking place there. The other pitch would have centred around the character of Sev from the first game. For the uninitiated, Order 66 refers to Senator Palpatine's command for the clone army of the Republic to systematically wipe out any living Jedi Knights, as a precursor to Imperial rule. The first would have seen players tasked with executing Order 66, acting as a parallel to what we saw occur in Revenge of the Sith. A new interview with lead developer of Republic Commando, Brett Douville, suggests that LucasArts was home to two separate pitches for a potential sequel, before the studio underwent a company-wide 'reboot' that scuppered these plans. However, it seems that this wasn't always the plan.
These titles often received at least one or two sequels - something that can't be said for squad-based FPS and cult favourite Republic Commando. Over the years, there have been many video games set in the Star Wars universe that went beyond normal expectations for licensed content. A new interview with the lead developer of Star Wars: Republic Commando reveals two promising pitches for a potential sequel that were once being dicussed at LucasArts.
