Republic Commando is a tactical first-person shooter video game developed and published by LucasArts. It was released for the Xbox and Microsoft Windows in March 2005.[3] Set in the Star Wars Legends expanded universe, the game revolves around Delta Squad, a special ops unit within the Galactic Republic's Clone Army consisting of four genetically-enhanced clone troopers, referred to as "Clone Commandos." Throughout the single-player campaign, players assume the role of the squad's leader, RC-1138 ("Boss"), and complete various missions during the Clone Wars. Players can also indirectly control the actions of their squadmates RC-1262 ("Scorch"), RC-1140 ("Fixer"), and RC-1207 ("Sev") by issuing different commands, which allow for certain situations to be approached in multiple ways.

Republic Commando received generally favorable reviews at release, with praise directed at its story, characters, and combat, although some criticized its short length and average multiplayer. Over the years, the game has come to be considered one of the best Star Wars games ever made, along with gaining a cult following, An enhanced port of the game by Aspyr was released for the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 on April 6, 2021. This port did have a minor performance problem, which was later resolved with an update.

In April 2014, following The Walt Disney Company's acquisition of Lucasfilm, most of the licensed Star Wars novels, comics, and video games produced since the originating 1977 film were rebranded as Star Wars Legends and declared non-canon to the franchise going forward. Republic Commando was among the projects affected by this, as the events depicted in its campaign would no longer be considered canon. However, the game's characters remained canon thanks to Delta Squad's inclusion in "Witches of the Mist", an episode from the third season of the 2008 animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars (whose canonicity remained intact after the acquisition). The series supervising director Dave Filoni cited the game as an inspiration when creating the clone characters from the show.[42] One of the squad's members, Scorch, later re-appeared in "War-Mantle", an episode from the 2021 sequel series Star Wars: The Bad Batch. The helmet HUD design from the game was also briefly seen in the series.

The concept of Clone Commandos introduced in the game has been featured in several other Star Wars works since. The episode "Missing in Action" of the fifth season of The Clone Wars introduces the character of Captain Gregor, a former Clone Commando suffering from amnesia. The season seven episode "The Bad Batch" introduces Clone Force 99, nicknamed "The Bad Batch", a squad of four (later five) genetically enhanced clones very similar in concept to Delta Squad. Clone Commandos are also playable in the 2017 video game Star Wars Battlefront II.
