Thanks for the patience on this one, I've been busier IRL than expected. Should be looking at either The Witcher 3 DLC or Mass Effect Andromeda next.

Salt, Boss is not British, he's voiced by Temura Morrison, you know the guy who voiced Jango fett and all the clones in the movies? He's from New Zealand.

Temuera Morrison voices Boss, he's Jango Fett's actor and he also voices all the clones in the prequels. So technically every clone should sound like him, but I believe it was a choice to give your squad mates more personality and being able to differentiate between them.

Sev is still out there, hunting Sepratists, waiting to reunite with Delta Squad. Such a great game

I always interpreted each commandos voice as what they sound like to their brothers. To us watching and the Jedi around them, they all sound the same, but while we’re playing as Boss, each brother has a remarkably unique voice.

The series that should have been........

Imagine a Republic Commando game taking place during Order 66.

6:33 you're an elite Republic Commando with expensive, specialist gear and more expanded training and conditioning. That guy was a "standard" Clone Trooper; literally disposable according to many(some Jedi included). That's the difference.

An elegant game for a more civilized time
Guess what times have changed

This was far and away one of the greatest games I've ever played, and the fact that we never got more games is damn near criminal.

Fun fact Scorch is voiced by the actor that also voiced Carth Onasi in KOTOR -Raphael Sbarge

I love salt's mention of their personalities changing because of who they trained under cause... thats kind of exactly what happened if you read the republic commando books. All the men who trained the commandos instilled their own beliefs and values into the clones. Good call salt.

I remember how halfway through my playthrough I realized that when you walk right in front of a locked door you can hear the enemies talking about wether or not they noticed you, giving you a hint if you should blow it up or hack it. That's when it became my favorite shooter for a very long time. ^^

The fact that Disney had the balls to include scorch’s armor in Bad Batch but said it wasn’t Scorch had me done with the series.

There's a loading screen that explains that due to the specialized training the commandos received (Sev getting sniper and assassination training, Scorch getting explosives training, etc) they began to develop personality quirks which grew, which I think you missed in your playthrough. This happened to all clones, in a controlled environment like Kamino their personalities can be kept the same but exposed to the stresses and chaos of war, they all began to develop different personalities based on their experiences. Even in the real world we have an example of this, twins are genetically identical and technically clones but they don't grow up to act the exact same way. Their experiences also lead them to develop unique personalities. Same thing happened to the Star Wars clones

Remember, Boss isn’t British, he’s played by Temuera Morrison, you know, Jango Fett and all that.

Salt didn't mention it but Republic Commando was also a very good EU novel series by author Karen Traviss. Unfortunately, she cancelled the series after book 5, Imperial Commando, due to her version of Mandalore being rendered non-canon by 3-D Clone Wars.

The game also would've had a sequel called Imperial Commando but was scrapped at the concept art phase.

So, the people behind it came out to talk about the plans a few years ago. Basically they did have a sequel they wanted to make and had a skeleton of an idea for it. It'd be Imperial Commando and would be about the start of the empire with Delta being an Imperial commando unit, slowly moving towards breaking away since Sev ends up being a rebel and brings them into the fold.

This and KOTOR 2 are my favorite Star Wars stories.

15:17 - He's not British.
That's Temuera Morrison.
He's a New Zealander.

The player character isn't british but New Zealand.  It's voiced by Temuera Morrison who plays Jango (and now Boba) Fett
