One of the best Star Wars games ever deserves some recognition in this multi-generational game. And apparently he is in several books, having relationships with Solo and Calrissian. There is a scoundrel i'd like. Maybe he will be the scoundrel in the event rumors are going around about. Anyone ever play Shadows of the Empire on N64?

    Most of the books are not considered canon. Technically according to Disney he does not exist, however that was a great game and book.

    This game doesn't follow cannon or non cannon so they can technically add him in. Hk isn't cannon as he is from the kotor series and yet he is in the game.

    That book has it's own Soundtrack. Like full orchestra and everything. You'd think they could make an exception for it because it is a book, AND game, AND full musical score.

    Holy crepe yeah, he is awesome.

    I loved that game. And it's spinoff Rogue Squadron is still one of my all time favorite games. I kept my N64 just to play that and podracer :smiley:

    Still have Shadows of the Empire and the Episode One Podracer both in working condition along with my N64 from high school! No kidding, I was looking for Rogue Squadron on eBay just the other day, lol.

    Dash Rendar would be awesome for sure.

    Shadows of the Empire is the only book George Lucas came out and said he considered part of his universe. I'd like to see Dash Rendar and it would fit with any futue addition of ships as they could then have the Outrider to go with him.

    While they're at it, they should throw in Xisor too!

    That's why I use IG-88. He scared the **** out of me during that boss fight.

    Again that matters little considering he doesnt own it anymore, but as someone stated HK-47 is in the game so EA can choose who it wants.

    His ship " the outrider " made a cameo in the updated " new hope " movie. Since his ship is officially canon maybe he is too... Or eventually

    He's made appearances in the Fantasy Flight hits X-Wing Miniatures and the ARMADA game. Anyone who works with Star Wars license, who knows anything, knows Dash. They'll bring him in. They need more REAL scoundrels the people care about. Give me a break, Nut Gunray? Who's idea was that?

    Aaaggghh!! Forgot about that game was my first video game I ever played when I got a N64 for my fifth birthday... Takes me back. The fight with IG 88 always scared me, he would pop up out of no where!! I will never forget the frustration from the sewer level.. If only I could remember what happened to that 64.

    Yeah that game was the dopiest rope ever thrown for us to gro... no not a good rhyme. Uh, yeah dude that level took FOREVER. Then going back and playing for all the challenge points was SO much fun (and frustrating). Did you unlock the Tie Fighter and Falcon in the SkyHook level? That was still the best game to capture the majesty of a Imperial-Class Star Destroyer. It took so long to fly the length of that sucker. Rogue Squadron for all systems didn't come close to getting the scale right.

    If I had a time-travel machine, I would definitely go back and make a stop at the late-nights with good snacks trying to beat that game on Hard. (Jedi difficulty was a joke).

    Those were the times when for some reason, you weren't allowed to use "movie" characters for a 3rd person game. Dash Rendar, Kyoe Katarn...

    Would love to see old Dash in the game.

    Would love to see Dash in this game. I'm not holding much hope for it but the Outrider in A New Hope and HK47 being here make it a slight possibility.

    Not canon. HK is the only exception because EA considers it canon ;)

    His ship is canon, so it's a possibility he's out there somewhere.

    What the zombie thread!! Old Daka would be proud!!
    Why wasn't Cobb Vanth shards a reward for the Krayt Dragon raid? Why wasn't Endor Gear Luke shards a reward for the Speeder Bike raid?

    He's also only five years late to be a good character relative to the meta!

    It only took around 5.7 years, but it finally happened! Hopefully OP’s still playing so they can enjoy it…
    I've found this whole experience to be very enlightening.

    Thank you for evaluating. Your feedback is appreciated.

    N64 gave us a good mix of games at that time,really does make you feel old(on the outside)when you start thinking about how many consoles we’ve probably had over the years
