''Star Wars: Rogue Squadron'' was first released for the [[Nintendo 64]] video game console and the [[Personal computer|PC]] on [[December 7]], [[1998]]. It was one of the first Nintendo 64 games to support the console's [[Expansion Pak]], which allowed higher-quality graphics to be displayed while playing.

Several unlockable vehicles appear in ''Star Wars: Rogue Squadron''. By inputting certain text-based [[cheat code]]s, the player could unlock the [[Millennium Falcon]], a [[TIE Interceptor]], an [[AT-ST]], a [[1969]] [[Buick Electra]], a [[T-16 Skyhopper]], and a [[Naboo N-1 Starfighter]]. When [[Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace]] was released, Naboo Starfighters were unveiled to the public for the first time. Factor 5, anticipating the movie's release in [[1999]], programmed in the unlockable extra and released the code in conjunction with the movie. During the five months between the game's release and that of Episode I, fans of the game discovered many of the secret vehicles, but the Naboo Starfighter remained unknown due to its unusual method of unlocking. The former two vehicles became playable when a clever or witty [[Password (video game)|password]] was entered and [[R2-D2]]'s beeps affirmed it, but the Naboo Starfighter required two consecutive codes made up of seemingly random alphanumerics, and R2-D2's sounds did not play after the first code.

In [[1999]], ''Star Wars: Rogue Squadron'' won the [[Origins Award]] for ''Best Action Computer Game of 1998''.

'''''Rogue Squadron II: Rogue Leader''''' was an exclusive launch game in [[2001]] for the [[Nintendo GameCube]]. Again developed by Factor 5 and published by LucasArts, Rogue Leader expanded on the original game with improved graphics and a new tactics menu that allows the player to form up their squadron or set a target for their squadron such as laser turrets or enemy [[TIE fighter]]s. The game also expanded on the unlockable levels of the original--''Beggars Canyon'' is included in the tutorial, the opening level ''Battle of Yavin'' was included in both games (Rogue Squadron called the level ''Death Star Trench Run''), and ''Battle of Hoth'' was made more authenic with the GameCube's advanced power. The other major battle in the original movie trilogy, ''The Battle Of Endor'', was arguably the biggest and most challenging scenario in the entire game.
