It will be extremely difficult to recapture the same magic that early LucasArts game studios had when making Star Wars games. From KOTOR to the Force Unleashed and Battlefront to Empire at War, you can tell that these games were made with upmost passion and care by their developers. These games were truly for the fans.
Probably because we didn't have to deal with the mouse, which rid us of the Expanded Universe to replace with their preferred version of what happened after the original Star Wars Anthonology ended 😔
Something interesting is that this game uses some tracks from Knights of the Old Republic II at certain points. For example, when Mace and Anakin's lightsabers clash in the cutscene before the Windu fight, you hear the small music bit that plays when a combat encounter ends on Peragus. And the Onderon/Telos surface battle theme plays during a few combat encounters in-game.
So I only recently completed KOTOR II and immediately recognized those tracks from the Episode III video game. I knew they were in there, but it was still nicer to make that connection.
Ima guess it’s cause it was cheaper to use sounds from other games, either way tho it was cool to recognize that. Win win for both the gamer and developers hahah
my boi Junko back droppin that Heat. another cool fact about this game, Hayden Christensen got a chance to meet with the game devs and asked them to do that specific block animation pose
I actually don’t recall ever seeing a commercial for this game. I was just part of the “spoil me for episode III” gang on the Jedi council forums so I knew everything of SW back then. I worked at blockbuster at the time in high school and got unlimited rentals but man, I remember taking this game out the first weekend it was at my store and played all night until I beat it. My eyes felt like they were bleeding and my hands/thumbs were sore for two entire days. I also completely forgot about the mobile version of the game, I had that on my Razr and man, it was awful. My entire comment carbon dates me…but I lived in the golden age.
Junko.... You lied to me!!! You told me you let Watt Tambor live and didn't slaughter him!!! You were supposed to save Star Wars, not see the alternate ending and leave it in darkness!
hey man its mothers day and its always a rough day for me so it was really nice to lay in bed and watch this. literally laughing through tears while watching. thanks for making this and please keep it up.
FOR THE SOLE FACT ALONE THAT YOU HAVE INADVERTENTLY REFERENCED AN INSIDE JOKE WITH MY NERD CIRCLE ABOUT ME BEING CONFUSED IN THE MOVIE THAT THEY SAVED _WAT TAMBOR_ FOR LAST (they literally cut back and forth and back and forth to the Mustafar massacre scene yet Wat Tambor scrambles off to the background), AS MY FAVOURITE SEPARATIST WITH A FUNNY VOICE YOU GET MY SUBSCRIPTION
I loved this game growing up. This movie was so big when it came out man. My mom took me and my brother get out of school early to go see it. The Lightsaber duel mode is so underrated
Totally agree. The perfect rental game. Had a blast with it as a kid. Not ashamed to say I played the shit out of this and Lego Star Wars before Episode 3 came out. Great video once again Junko!
This game meant so much to me as a kid, ever since I watched Star Wars I’ve loved it. I played this game so much and thought it was amazing with the visuals, and combat. Still some of the best combat I feel we’ve gotten.
Your content somehow manages to peak all my entertainment interests. And you kill it in every video, w/ something for fans of all sorts of stuff. Only a matter of time before a bigger audience follows. Keep it up man!
Bro you on some other level stuff with the humor. My god this channel is bomb That whole Lego episode 3 door skit was so out of left field and you went out into your own world where it barely made sense at the end, I love it lol
One of my absolute favorite games from my childhood! The alternate take on the events of the film, and especially the unique enemy models, has stuck with me to this day.
Bro, last I checked you had 15,000 subs, and now you’ve doubled (or should I say your powers have doubled since we last met?)! Congrats! You’ll be blowing up in no time!
He's got the potential to go into the millions for sure. His style and editing is already very good, if he output more videos the algorithm would be all over him
I found this channel like 3 months ago it is so damn good! Been waiting for a new video. So good I remember my friend I'm 6th grade gushing about this game when he first got it
Best channel on RUclips bro, the fact your only 2 years older than me and like all the same shit makes your videos really hit the nastolga better than most channels! Master Junko your our only hope on RUclips for quality content
Oh, well didnt i get lucky. This is my first time catching your videos as they're uploaded. just wanted to say your channel is pretty good and I hope to keep watching more. thank you for making content and have a great evening. Be good to yourself.
Holy shit dude that comic with Darth Vader all in white. I remember way back in the day I picked up that comic off of a rack at my local convenient store, and I was so confused when I got to that last page. I had no idea what in the world was going on. I think that was the only Star Wars comic I ever had, so it was super weird seeing it in this vid.
I actually own the ps2 version of this game. It's not fantastic, but it's pretty good. Combat system is deeper then you would think. Great boss fights. Worth a look
As someone who grew up playing literally any Star Wars game I could get my hands on, seeing reviews of the older and/or less talked about ones just makes my day.
My Midichlorian Romance is an insanely good joke. I like how your humor is actually funny and doesn't rely on vulgarity or random/ADD-type jokes like most gaming channels.
That MTV star wars music video hurts my soul seeing anakin dance around like that... especially to that song. This video really makes me want to play this game. I want a new, good star wars game so badly... one that follows the darth vader comics would be pretty badass
2:01 I haven’t watched the rest of the video yet, but I have to say: That bit where you synced up your “So, like any good virgin, I waited” line with that clip of Ki-Adi-Mundi (I don’t know how his name’s spelled) got a good laugh out of me. 😂
Remember how Revenge of the Sith the DVD doubled as a demo disc for Battlefront 2. Also, I loved the Jedi temple level in the ROTS game. It was like the Jedi were mini boss battles you can dual
I absolutely loved this game and was thrilled to see this review. Some of my friends and I would play the multiplayer together and it really did feel so smooth. The additional content was also really neat
I still go back to this game from time to time, and it holds up. The lightsaber combat is great, and I love how it expands on certain parts of the movie. There are alot of classic Star Wars games, and I think this one is among one of my favorites. Nostalgia or not.
I feel like this channel is gonna go the NakeyJakey way and totally blow up pretty soon! In the mean time I just want you to know that I'm really loving your content!
I remember my friend rented this game one weekend from blockbuster. Told me pretty much how Anakin was defeated. I was 12 years old at the time so spoilers didn't concern me back then, I was just so hyped for anything starwars. Excellent vid, I feel all nostalgic now
i do remember having the gba version of the game, and the whole movie was spoiled for me, and i do remember the burger king toys that came out when revenge of the sith came out
I grew up with the GBA version of ROTS. I loved everything about it ever so dearly, the simple yet fun combat, the soundtrack, the pixel art, it's amazing.
I was a bit underwhelmed with this game as a young teen but looking back... yeah... you're right it was solid af &I did have fun I just wanted more story to run thru
Can't wait to see this guy blowup I feel like his views are gonna sky rocket eventually. Underrated channel
Seriously man, his quality is amazing. The man knows what he knows. Always has me laughing. Been a while since I laughed that long and that much.
Same. Quality stuff here
Only a matter of time with these channels.
I felt the same about Scott the Woz, I watched him a few years ago and just out of nowhere he went from like 30k subs to 100k+
Couldn't agree more🙏☕☺️
"Easy and mindless, just something you can play real quick while driving" is the best joke
It will be extremely difficult to recapture the same magic that early LucasArts game studios had when making Star Wars games. From KOTOR to the Force Unleashed and Battlefront to Empire at War, you can tell that these games were made with upmost passion and care by their developers. These games were truly for the fans.
Probably because we didn't have to deal with the mouse, which rid us of the Expanded Universe to replace with their preferred version of what happened after the original Star Wars Anthonology ended 😔
Nah it's actually easy. Just give the license to some great developers and the bangers will come. Basically what Lucasfilm games are doing rn.
@@deadshot5007 Have to see the results of that first.
By the fans, for the fans, no microtransactions, no BS.
Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy! :O

my boi Junko back droppin that Heat.
another cool fact about this game, Hayden Christensen got a chance to meet with the game devs and asked them to do that specific block animation pose
All of Anakin's moves in the game were based off Hayden acting out all the different moves for the team.
I actually don’t recall ever seeing a commercial for this game. I was just part of the “spoil me for episode III” gang on the Jedi council forums so I knew everything of SW back then. I worked at blockbuster at the time in high school and got unlimited rentals but man, I remember taking this game out the first weekend it was at my store and played all night until I beat it.

Dude you brought this one straight outta the past for me. So many hours playing the multi-player with my buddy
YESSSSS MISSED YOU BABE,,, always tapping right into actual nostalgia which I’ve never ever felt with any other you tubers
Check out KevDuIt too!
“We can do this the easy way, or we can do this the Gerard Way” killed me. Good shit, your videos are great. Keep it up!
Junko.... You lied to me!!! You told me you let Watt Tambor live and didn't slaughter him!!! You were supposed to save Star Wars, not see the alternate ending and leave it in darkness!
The DS version is essentially the GBA version with some cool add-ons. Those 3D ships battles were really cool too, especially on a DS at the time.
Absolutely stoked that I found this guy! Such amazing writing and production value. I really hope he gets popular because he deserves it 🥳
He will there's no doubt about it
I refuse to believe Junko only has less than 50k subs. This guy’s content is absolute gold
This dude literally never misses! 10/10 content!
hey man its mothers day and its always a rough day for me so it was really nice to lay in bed and watch this. literally laughing through tears while watching. thanks for making this and please keep it up.
I'm glad I could help in any little way. Keep your head up where you can and thank you for the kind words
Junko, you are easily one of the best on the platform. Never stop.
FOR THE SOLE FACT ALONE THAT YOU HAVE INADVERTENTLY REFERENCED AN INSIDE JOKE WITH MY NERD CIRCLE ABOUT ME BEING CONFUSED IN THE MOVIE THAT THEY SAVED _WAT TAMBOR_ FOR LAST (they literally cut back and forth and back and forth to the Mustafar massacre scene yet Wat Tambor scrambles off to the background), AS MY FAVOURITE SEPARATIST WITH A FUNNY VOICE
YOU GET MY SUBSCRIPTION
You're channel is truly a hidden gem, you deserve all the growth you're getting my dude. May the algorithm serve you well
You’re gonna hit 1,000,000 subscribers in no time with the quality you’re pouting out dude!
seriously this is so damn good and hits me right in my nostalgia in a way most other RUclipsrs cant. I'm honored to be here before a million subs.
I loved this game growing up. This movie was so big when it came out man. My mom took me and my brother get out of school early to go see it. The Lightsaber duel mode is so underrated
Totally agree. The perfect rental game. Had a blast with it as a kid. Not ashamed to say I played the shit out of this and Lego Star Wars before Episode 3 came out. Great video once again Junko!

One of my absolute favorite games from my childhood! The alternate take on the events of the film, and especially the unique enemy models, has stuck with me to this day.
Anakin choking Serra with one hand while fighting off Cin Drallig was the coolest thing he ever did and it was cut :(
automatic fav youtuber in the weeks n months i found you ily
Been here since 7k subs and its wonderful to see you blowing up Junko. Another fantastic video my dude, keep it UP!!!
Just finished watching all of your videos! You make some of the best video game video! Looking forward to more, keep up the great work!
Bro, last I checked you had 15,000 subs, and now you’ve doubled (or should I say your powers have doubled since we last met?)! Congrats! You’ll be blowing up in no time!
He's got the potential to go into the millions for sure. His style and editing is already very good, if he output more videos the algorithm would be all over him
This game predicted force heal from rise of skywalker
I found this channel like 3 months ago it is so damn good! Been waiting for a new video. So good I remember my friend I'm 6th grade gushing about this game when he first got it
Junko, your channel is criminally under rated
Great video Junko!
Best channel on RUclips bro, the fact your only 2 years older than me and like all the same shit makes your videos really hit the nastolga better than most channels! Master Junko your our only hope on RUclips for quality content
Oh, well didnt i get lucky. This is my first time catching your videos as they're uploaded. just wanted to say your channel is pretty good and I hope to keep watching more. thank you for making content and have a great evening. Be good to yourself.
How long we waited for more junko only for the ROTS to drop one day after Revenge of the 5th,
In all seriousness amazing video!
He's getting closer and closer to review the Force Unleashed games
Holy shit dude that comic with Darth Vader all in white. I remember way back in the day I picked up that comic off of a rack at my local convenient store, and I was so confused when I got to that last page. I had no idea what in the world was going on. I think that was the only Star Wars comic I ever had, so it was super weird seeing it in this vid.
Vader got bleached in that comic
This game kicks major as was the first Star Wars game I played and it's one of the best Star Wars games still till this day imo
I actually own the ps2 version of this game. It's not fantastic, but it's pretty good. Combat system is deeper then you would think. Great boss fights. Worth a look
The sequel we've all waited for
This video just unlocked a memory in my brain....I forgot how much I loved this game. Brb gonna buy it real quick lol. Glad you're back Junko!
Fucking hell how do you manage to tug my heartstrings with every star wars vid
It's always a good day when Junko graces us with new content
You deserve so much more little one. I pray that the rain that comes brings you a great harvest. May your subscribers grow
As someone who grew up playing literally any Star Wars game I could get my hands on, seeing reviews of the older and/or less talked about ones just makes my day.
Star Wars Episode 3 for the Nintendo DS was/is my first Nintendo DS game because of that 3Dish Starfighter part and I don't regret it.
been here since 3k, cant wait to see ur channel blow up junko! ur like one of my fav youtubers right now
We're all just humans trying to tell our stories , pooping and seeking love
Dude finding a fellow thumb fan has be joyous! Most people don't understand the greatness!
FUCK YES I LOVE YOUR STUFF!!! I'm so happy to see another video please keep it up! it's exactly what I need in my life
I felt like I've been waiting for this forever! Thank you Yung JunkGod!
My Midichlorian Romance is an insanely good joke. I like how your humor is actually funny and doesn't rely on vulgarity or random/ADD-type jokes like most gaming channels.
That MTV star wars music video hurts my soul seeing anakin dance around like that... especially to that song.

Can’t say it enough. I appreciate your videos. It reminds me of why I am always on this website.
I'm a simple man, I see a Revenge of the Sith review on Revenge of the Fifth and I am happy
babe wake up, YungJunko just posted 😌
massive star wars fan and on a nostalgia trip. i love this channel, keep up the great content Junko!!
Underrated game reviewed by an underrated youtuber. Great vid g
I absolutely loved this game and was thrilled to see this review. Some of my friends and I would play the multiplayer together and it really did feel so smooth. The additional content was also really neat
Glad to see you back, and quality video as always Junko
I’m a big fan of how you make your vids. Good mix of positive and critical and you do good research. Keep it up
What a great way to celebrate Star Wars week.
another banger junko. every single one of your videos are so so good. You will make it.
Your channel is fantastic, sir. I wish you the best! Very professional.
This video actually made me laugh, and had a narrator as nerdy about Star Wars as me 🫡 thumbs up definitely
I didn't have any consoles at this time but one of my best friends had this game and I'd stay up hours after he fell asleep to keep playing
I still go back to this game from time to time, and it holds up. The lightsaber combat is great, and I love how it expands on certain parts of the movie. There are alot of classic Star Wars games, and I think this one is among one of my favorites. Nostalgia or not.
Yesss i haven't thought of this game in forever! Thanks you're awesome
RoTS was an absolute Masterpiece for it's time and still ridiculous fun to play through today 👌
I feel like this channel is gonna go the NakeyJakey way and totally blow up pretty soon! In the mean time I just want you to know that I'm really loving your content!
I loved this game when I was a kid, I loved the alternate ending with Obi wan getting killed by Anikan and the secret character unlock of Yoda
You know the feeling of watching a good content creator talk about the prequels _without_ trashing them? I want to inject that into my veins.
I was so excited to see this uploaded, man! Can't wait to watch it later. Keep up the great work, loved all your videos so far.
Imo this game had one of the best, if not the best lightsaber combat in Star Wars history.
I swear, its like we had the same childhood.
Good stuff dude hope your channel blows up
I remember my friend rented this game one weekend from blockbuster. Told me pretty much how Anakin was defeated. I was 12 years old at the time so spoilers didn't concern me back then, I was just so hyped for anything starwars. Excellent vid, I feel all nostalgic now
Just discovered your channel, I am now addicted
i do remember having the gba version of the game, and the whole movie was spoiled for me, and i do remember the burger king toys that came out when revenge of the sith came out
I remember my buddy had this game. We played the Vs. all the time. Good times.
I played through the story once.
Good memories here.
"What if the high ground did dick?"
That may be the funniest line I've ever heard in a Star Wars video
Oh my god! I literally played this game last night for the nostalgia
one of my favorite movie tie in games, and just one of my favorite games period.
dude your writing and surprising amount of star wars knowledge is so freaking hilarious!
A cool thing with the DS version is that it has the 3D ship levels have a multiplay mode where you even piolt ships from The OT
Heavily underrated channel my guy. Keep up the hilarious work. 👍🏽
7:02 is this a doomcock reference lol... Genius
I grew up with the GBA version of ROTS. I loved everything about it ever so dearly, the simple yet fun combat, the soundtrack, the pixel art, it's amazing.
I love how this made Crab Droids into minibosses. They're one of my favorite droids out there.
I'm not sure how many times you've saved Star Wars by now but we don't deserve a hero like you
My man weren’t you at 500 subs a few months ago? Damn bro congrats on 37k 👌👌👌
My favorite level is easily when Obi Wan and Yoda are cleaning house in the ruined Jedi Temple
I was a bit underwhelmed with this game as a young teen but looking back... yeah... you're right it was solid af &I did have fun I just wanted more story to run thru
new favorite youtuber thank god for new content
my favorite fact is that hayden asked the devs if when he blocks he holds his lightsaber in the iconic 'Anakin Block Stance' because it looked cool
