10 Cancelled Star Wars Video Games That Would’ve Made Millions

9. Rebel Warrior

Roger Chamberlain

Without a doubt the most unorthodox title on this list, Star Wars: Rebel Warrior was a project centred around the experience of a Wookie during the early days of the Empire's enslavement of the species, and would've had the player use a variety of violent means to wreak havoc amongst the Imperial ranks.

The maturity and violence of Rebel Warrior's subject matter was probably its undoing, but again, this is a title that would've had the potential to be something truly great. Having a game that wouldn't shy away from the darker elements of the galaxy far, far away would have not only reached new audiences, but also given fans the lifelong dream of ripping a Stormtrooper's arms out of their sockets, Chewbacca style.

No doubt Rebel Warrior's plot would have made for an enthralling title, and it's not often that Wookies get to be the centre of attention. Hopefully that changes sooner, rather than later.

Content Producer/Presenter

WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well. In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
