Although the scenario, the plot, and the variety of missions were considered neither original nor rich, the game was valued for its technical details, since it featured digitized footage (albeit limited, most replaced by CGI rendered sequences), music from the original movies, and full speech. ''Rebel Assault'' is one of the oldest titles to make use of extensive [[FullMotionVideo full motion video]] on the PC.

'''''Franchise/StarWars: Rebel Assault''''' (and its sequel, ''The Hidden Empire'') are a pair of interactive video games published by Creator/LucasArts in the early 1990's. Notable for combining elements of a [[RailShooter rail shooter]] and a live-action movie, the games put players into the shoes of Rookie One, a young X-Wing pilot who helps the Rebel Alliance during several major events and battles in the ''Star Wars'' saga.
'''Rebel Assault''' (1993) was the [[KillerApp first CD-ROM-only game published by LucasArts]]. Set during the early Galactic Civil War. Players controlled the adventures of an unnamed young person (known by their callsign, Rookie One). The game takes place during the events of A New Hope, and allows you to visit several key locations from the first two films (including Beggar's Canyon, Hoth and the Death Star).
'''Rebel Assault II: The Hidden Empire''' (1995) was notable for being the first major piece of Star Wars media to incorporate live-action footage since ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi''. In the sequel, Rookie One and and fellow X-Wing pilot / ActionGirl Ru Murleen team up to infiltrate a Super Star Destroyer and steal the prototype for a new TIE Fighter called Phantom, which could turn the tide of the Galactic Civil War if used in the wrong hands.

* UltimateFinalExam: Mission three of the fist game serves as this for Rookie One. Having dealt with canyon slaloming and target practice on Tatooine and navigating an asteroid field in space, you're then sent off to the planet Kolaador in an A-Wing to fly through an incredibly narrow series of passageways leading across a maze of razor-sharp geodes. As with the last test, quick reflexes are critical, but making the wrong move is even more dangerous this time, and you don't have the luxury of just shooting an obstacle. Once this is done, though, your training is complete and you're ready for the big leagues... just in time for a Star Destroyer to show up over Tatooine.
