![]() ![]() If a Mandalorian video game was developed, it's doubtful that it would focus on Din Djarin or Boba Fett. ![]() A potential Mando game needn't have to travel that far into the past though - there's still much that Star Wars hasn't shown regarding the Mandalorians even as recently in the timeline as The Phantom Menace, which is where Bounty Hunter, Open Seasons, and Jaster Mereel could come in. Both TCW and Rebels have provided snippets of Mandalorian history prior to Star Wars' Skywalker Saga, but nothing along the lines seen in Legends stories like Dark Horse's Knights of the Old Republic comic, which was set during the Mandalorian Wars. ![]() There's much that the new Star Wars canon is yet to reveal about the Mandalorians, despite them having received a lot of attention since the release of The Clone Wars, and a video game could be just the thing to explore more of their mythology. With the Mandalorians now taking a central role in the saga though, it seems increasingly likely that Bounty Hunter's status as the sole Mando-centric Star Wars video game will end sooner, rather than later. Further still, the vast majority of Star Wars games have put players in the boots of a Jedi or some kind of soldier, and the only other attempt to develop a Mandalorian-focused Star Wars game - Star Wars 1313 - ended in cancellation, making Bounty Hunter a unique addition to the franchise. Although Star Wars Bounty Hunter wasn't as great as the other classic Star Wars games developed and published by LucasArts in the early 2000s, it is interesting to revisit in 2021, with it being the sole Mandalorian-led AAA Star Wars game, and having been released prior to all the various animated and live-action series that have fleshed out the Mandalorians since. ![]()
