About Star Wars: Rebel Assault
It is a period of civil war. Rebel starships, striking from a hidden base, have won their first victory against the evil Galactic Empire; which, under the command of Darth Vader, rules the galaxy with an iron fist. The Empire, however, is far from defeated, and many young pilots have joined the Rebels in the hopes of restoring freedom to the galaxy. Rebel Assault was one of the first CD-ROM games and the first Star Wars game with the full original motion video. It's a side story of a young pilot in the rebel army. He came from Tatooine but he is just a regular pilot. The game takes you to some key battles, like taking down a star destroyer, raiding an Imperial base or destroying the Death Star

A rail shooter that shows the Sega CD's limits more than its strengths.
This is the Sega CD version of Star Wars: Rebel Assault, developed by LucasArts. It came out in North America in March 1994 and in Europe and Japan in September 1994. It is missing Chapter 7 (Imperial Probe Droids) and goes straight to Chapter 8, renumbering the rest, its graphics are considerably less sharp and detailed than on the PC and 3DO, and it lacks the option of a female Rookie One.
Game Players called it decent enough and a showcase of the hardware, yet one of the most disappointing games of 1994, and GamePro gave the Sega CD version a negative review.
What the press said at the time
“Overall, Rebel Assault is a worthy addition to any Sega CD collection and one that should please fans of the legendary Star Wars series.”
“The whole game follows the theme of the films excellently capturing both the sounds and visuals we’re familiar with - the overall effect is bordering on ‘interactive movie’.”
“At the end of the day, Rebel Assault is certainly a fun game the first time you play it through, but its lastability is questionable. You should be able to clock it in a matter of days, and then you've seen all there is to it.”

Before you buy
Confirm the printed label and that the case matches the game. A modern official reissue exists from Limited Run Games, issued in 2020 in new long-box cases, and it is a separate product with its own price, so check the publisher name, the year and the barcode. The US loose disc sits about at the middle among North American Sega CD games, the European disc usually costs somewhat more loose and well over double complete, and a Japanese disc usually costs noticeably more as well. Match the disc to the console it will be played on.
