Which 2003 GameCube game is the third Star Wars Rogue Squadron title?

Which 2003 GameCube game is the third Star Wars Rogue Squadron title? The answer is Star Wars Rogue Squadron III: Rebel Strike.

Developed by Factor 5 and published by LucasArts, Rebel Strike follows Star Wars: Rogue Squadron from 1998 and Star Wars Rogue Squadron II: Rogue Leader from 2001. It was released exclusively for Nintendo’s GameCube in 2003 and continued the series’ focus on cinematic starfighting across the original trilogy.

The third game broadened the formula by letting players leave their starfighters during on-foot missions and commandeer vehicles such as AT-ATs, AT-STs, speeder bikes, and landspeeders. It also introduced multiplayer modes, including cooperative play that revisited many missions from Rogue Leader.

Players sometimes confuse Rebel Strike with Rogue Leader because both are GameCube games and share characters, missions, and visual style. Rogue Leader is the second entry; Rebel Strike is the third. The game also included unlockable versions of three classic Atari Star Wars arcade games: Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi.
