2''Star Wars Battlefront: Renegade Squadron'' is a spinoff of the ''VideoGame/StarWarsBattlefront'' series. It was developed by [[Creator/{{Rebellion}} Rebellion Developments]], published by Creator/LucasArts, and released on PSP in 2007.

4The game features both single- and multiplayer modes, like its predecessors. As expected, it includes a single-player campaign, Instant Action, and Galactic Conquest. The main difference between this game and the originals is that everything is scaled down due to the limitations of the mobile devices it was played on. However, it also features the ability to customize the PlayerCharacter to look however the player wishes.

6''Renegade Squadron'' would itself be followed by another handheld game, entitled ''[[VideoGame/StarWarsBattlefrontEliteSquadron Elite Squadron]]'' in 2009.

8!!''Star Wars Battlefront: Renegade Squadron'' contains examples of the following tropes:
9* AwesomeButImpractical: Jedi and Sith heroes. Their lightsabers seem to have an effective range of about one centimetre, meaning that unless you can hit that exact spot, your only way of hitting something with it will be to throw the lightsaber at an opponent, which costs a lot of energy.
10* BeyondTheImpossible: The members of [[TitleDrop Renegade Squadron]] perform several feats which break ''Star Wars'' lore. The bosses of the campaign include IG-88, Boba Fett, and ''Darth Vader''. [[spoiler: Renegade Squadron not only wins the fights, but judging by what the outcome of the battles, physically killed all three]].
11* BountyHunter: Boba Fett and IG-88 are hired by the Empire to take out the Rebels, including Renegade Squadron.
12* CharacterCustomization: This game allows the player to customized the look of their character as well choose what weapons, equipment and stats they have based on a point system (referred to as credits) where each item has a price and the combined price cannot exceed 100 credits.
13%%* EscortMission: Common in the story mode.
14* ItsUpToYou: Several mission tasks can only be completed by the player.
15* RagtagBunchOfMisfits: What Renegade Squadron itself is, during the story campaign. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]], since they were composed of smugglers and thieves that Han Solo recruited.
16* StoneWall: Compared to the originals, combat is incredibly slow-paced. Both players and bots can take several hits before going down.
