Obviously I'm a bit biased toward Shadows of the Empire here... but the entire concept of this video is simply COULD N64 have handled something like Bounty Hunter in the mid to late 90s (or before the expiration of main-stream sales on the N64)? A hearty 'AYE' from me here...

Having played both games, I always found the N64 title to have a dramatic grip on the player, as well as a compelling story. Even though Dash Rendar is arguably a 'Han Solo' clone, he's an interesting character... whom to me would have been great for a movie or show.

Dash Rendar was a male smuggler who lived during the reign of the Galactic Empire. During his travels, he encountered the WookieeChewbacca and fellow smuggler Han Solo, and later claimed that it was Chewbacca who was the real brains behind their operation. Rendar also marked a map of the Kessel Run that was included in Midnight's journal. He piloted a YT-2400 light freighter.

Star Wars Bounty Hunter is a prequel to the 2002 film Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones, and a continuation of the comic book Jango Fett: Open Seasons by Haden Blackman. Unfortunately... given it's source material ties into the original Star Wars film release under the healm of George Lucas... it loses a lot of luster (to me at least). Attack of the Clones was possibly the WORST Star Wars film of all time... or on a short-list thereof.

Also, Disney COPYRIGHTED a bunch of the N64 title music... so I had to play with the clips!! It sure is tough for Game-plays these days... fair use doesn't seem to hold a lot of weight. Either way, hopefully you all still get the idea!
