An elaborate fan video gives the intro on Kamino a completely new look. The comments on YouTube are enthusiastic

Star Wars: Republic Commando is already a few years old and unfortunately it shows. The first-person shooter from 2005 can no longer be described as beautiful . It’s a shame, because the title still has a lot to offer in terms of gameplay today.

The desire of many Star Wars fans for a remake is therefore obvious. An artist has lovingly recreated the game’s intro in modern graphics Now we can dream about how great a fully-fledged remake would look.

Recreated down to the last detail

You can watch the fan remake of the intro here, by the way, so that you can get your own impression before we continue:

The artist, Oleksandr Maziura, says it took him one and a half years to create the three-minute video  That alone shows how much effort must have gone into the project.

We have compared the fan remake with the original intro and are amazed that even the smallest details have been captured and transferred to the much prettier graphics corset. From the clone troopers’ armor to the environments and animations, everything looks like we’re watching the intro to an official remake of Republic Commando

The highlight for many YouTube viewers, however, is the scene starting at minute 2:09. Any Star Wars fan who doesn’t get goosebumps should be thrown into the Rancor pit!

Fans are completely thrilled

Apropos Goosebumps: A look at the comments section on YouTube confirms our assumption that we are not alone with our thick arm pellets.

Many users praise the artist for his work and find other suitable terms, such as  OutstandingGoosebumps and Languageless The user FreedomTaco1776 said that he shed tears when I saw this

User midniteraptor1474, on the other hand, highlights one of the coolest features of Republic Commando, which also comes into its own in the fan remake. We are of course talking about the extremely practical helmets of the clone soldiers:

These helmets must be the most comfortable in the galaxy: they automatically clear the visor of dirt, they have a night mode, they seem to be roomy and they have a humidity system that prevents breath from fogging up the visor from the inside.

On Reddit Oleksandr Maziura is also showered with praise. The user Cherry0ks finds the right words for many fellow editors:

You’ve done it! You accomplished something that most would say is impossible for one person to do. That is truly inspiring! I wish you the best of luck with your next projects

The artist Oleksandr Maziura does indeed announce his next project in the video description. However, this is not another Star Wars fan video, but his own video game away from the star saga.

How do you like the intro remake? Would you like to see Republic Commandos get an official second lease of life?
