Say what you like about Star Wars: Attack of the Clones, the introduction of the Clone army and the implications it had for the events of the prequel trilogy was an intriguing idea. Sadly, however, the clone angle was taken much too far and viewers were given virtually no chance to get to know any of the captains or generals of this army to see how much personality they actually had.

But the same cannot be said for Star Wars: Republic Commando. Players took control of Delta RC-1138 - dubbed 'Boss' - as they led a squad of clone troopers on a mission to assassinate a Geonosian Archduke. Boss proves to be a genuinely inspiring leader, and his distinctive orange marking sets him apart as one of the coolest looking troopers in the clone army.

Boss displays the kind of grit and determination that we never really got to see from Clone soldiers in Episode II. Thankfully, Boss proved that there was more to this army than the easily-led cannon fodder that they appeared to be in the movies.
