History Awesome / RogueSquadron

* There are two alternate continuity levels where you play as ''Darth Freakin' Vader'', in a ship with cluster missiles, no less. The first one takes place during the Battle of Yavin, and you get to stop the Rebels. The second one takes place shortly afterwards and has you [[KickThemWhileTheyreDown destroying grounded Rebel fighters]] and [[HoldTheLine blowing up Rebel transports trying to escape]].

* The Y-wing pilot disabling and taunting the TIE pilot (Kasaan Moor) at the end of "Liberation of Gerrard V". Mind you, the Y-wing is a [[MightyGlacier lumbering bomber]] while the TIE Interceptor is a high-speed fighter that should've been able to dispatch the former easily.

** Since the game doesn't count a life lost if you die right as a cutscene begins, and destroying the bridge triggers a cutscene, gold medal strategies almost always recommend that you finish the level by ''crashing into the bridge''.

The first one takes place during the Battle of Yavin, and you get to stop the Rebels, though sadly [[OffscreenMomentOfAwesome you don't get to see Yavin IV explode]]. The second one takes place shortly after the Death Star is destroyed and has you [[KickThemWhileTheyreDown destroying grounded Rebel fighters]] and [[HoldTheLine blowing up Rebel transports trying to escape]].

* The ''very first'' mission in ''Rogue Leader'' is [[Film/ANewHope the famous Death Star assault]], right down to the station-exploding shot.

* Battlefield Hoth, where you take down two AT-AT's with a lightsaber and some thermal detonators.

* In co-op, playing Battle of Endor with the Jedi Starfighter and destroying dozens of TIE interceptors in the span of about three seconds by lobbing those sonic detonators right into their formations. OneManArmy doesn't even begin to cover it.

* The Battle of Corellia. With just a few snowspeeders, Rogue Squadron manages to rescue Crix Madine, destroy an amphibious attack force at Tyrena, take down three AT-ATs and AT-STs attacking Madine's bunker, and destroy an entire wing of TIE Bombers, delaying the attack on Coronet City long enough for Han, Chewie, and Rieekan to evacuate the Corellian leaders and everyone else in the capitol tower. Badass.

* Shipyards at Fondor, where you, in a GlassCannon prototype TIE fighter, destroy a Super Star Destroyer while it's still being built, on top of killing a couple escort carriers along the way.

* In one level you hijack an AT-AT (Yes, an AT-''AT''. The big one.) and blow the ever-lasting shit out of ''a lot'' of expensive-looking Imperial stuff. For all of the game's shortcomings, the power trip you get from finally putting the Empire on the receiving end of that behemoth (and laughing maniacally while you're at it, of course) is arguably worth it.

** As the entire fleet turns around and finds themselves trapped between the Death Star II and a massive Imperial fleet, ''over one hundred TIE Interceptors'' engage all of you in combat.

-->'''Y-Wing pilot:''' Ha! Like shooting Y-Wings, do ya? Here's a little message from Gold Squadron!

* In "Razor Rendevous", you play as [[BadassNormal Wedge]] in a B-Wing and, if you know exactly what to do, you can take out a Star Destroyer [[http://www.viddler.com/explore/ServerError404/videos/16/ in under a minute]]. ''[[OneManArmy On your own]]''.

[[AC:Battle For Naboo]]
* Several people have wondered how Anakin was able to fly into the Trade Federation Command Ship's hanger when the ship is allegedly heavily shielded. You learn in the final level it's because ''you took out the shields for him.''

* In "Imperial Academy Heist", you can hijack a TIE Fighter. At night, you just shoot the pilot and then capture his ship, but in the daytime, you disable the fighter while it's flying and force the pilot to hand the ship over. If you then follow the line of training TIE Fighters, you can slip through the campus unnoticed until you get to the shuttle.
