Fans Petition Aspyr Media to Remaster the Rogue Squadron Trilogy for PC

The Rogue Squadron series is a beloved part of Star Wars gaming history, offering thrilling space battles and an immersive experience that made players feel like true X-wing pilots. However, for PC gamers, the full trilogy has never been fully accessible—until now, that is, if fans get their way. A new petition is calling on Aspyr Media to remaster and release all three Rogue Squadron games for PC, giving a new generation of players the chance to experience these classics in modern form.

The Issue: Two-Thirds of the Trilogy Remain Unavailable on PC

While Star Wars: Rogue Squadron 3D was released on PC, its sequels—Rogue Squadron II: Rogue Leader and Rogue Squadron III: Rebel Strike—remained exclusive to the Nintendo GameCube. This has left many players unable to experience the full trilogy unless they resorted to emulation or original hardware, an accessibility gap that has frustrated Star Wars gaming enthusiasts for years.

The newly launched Change.org petition highlights this problem, emphasizing that:

• The Rogue Squadron series was revolutionary for its time, featuring immersive gameplay and cutting-edge graphics.
• Many PC players have never had the chance to play two-thirds of the trilogy due to its exclusivity on the GameCube.
• Aspyr Media has a strong history of remastering classic games, making them the ideal studio to bring the trilogy to modern platforms.

Why Aspyr Media?

Aspyr Media has built a reputation as one of the go-to studios for Star Wars game remasters. They’ve successfully handled ports and remasters of classics like:

• Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic
• Star Wars: Jedi Knight – Jedi Outcast
• Star Wars: Republic Commando

Given their experience with reviving older Star Wars titles, fans believe Aspyr is the perfect candidate to modernize the Rogue Squadron trilogy, ensuring enhanced graphics, smoother performance, and full compatibility with today’s gaming hardware.

The Fan Demand for Rogue Squadron

The Rogue Squadron series has a dedicated fanbase that has long advocated for a remaster. With the rise of modern Star Wars games like Jedi: Survivor and the upcoming Star Wars Outlaws, the demand for classic titles to be revived has never been higher.

A successful petition could:

• Show Aspyr and Lucasfilm Games that there’s a market for classic Star Wars space combat games.
• Encourage a remaster with updated visuals, controller support, and multiplayer features.
• Bring an authentic Star Wars dogfighting experience back to the forefront of gaming.

The Next Steps: Will Aspyr Answer the Call?

While there’s no official response from Aspyr yet, fan-driven campaigns have had success in the past. The Republic Commando remaster, for example, was largely fueled by consistent fan demand. If this petition gains enough traction, it could convince Aspyr and Lucasfilm Games to take action.

Conclusion: A PC Homecoming for Rogue Squadron?

The Rogue Squadron series is long overdue for a revival, and with this new petition, fans are making their voices heard. Whether Aspyr Media answers the call remains to be seen, but one thing is clear: the demand for classic Star Wars space combat games is stronger than ever.

For those eager to see this remaster become a reality, signing the petition and spreading the word is the best way to ensure that the Rogue Squadron trilogy finally gets the PC homecoming it deserves.
