About

Third-person action game where you play Dash Rendar, a smuggler working alongside the Rebel Alliance between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. You'll pilot Rendar's ship in space combat sequences, then switch to on-foot shooting and platforming across ten missions. Levels range from piloting a snowspeeder on Hoth to infiltrating Imperial facilities and battling through Xizor's palace. Combat mixes blaster firefights with environmental puzzles—moving crates, activating switches, dodging hazards. The game adds a new villain, crime lord Xizor, who schemes against both Vader and the heroes. Expect '90s-era 3D with tank controls and a checkpoint system that can punish mistakes. If you're curious about Expanded Universe stories or want Star Wars action beyond the films' main cast, this covers that ground.
