A Star Wars Mandalorian Game Is More Likely Than EverĪlthough Star Wars Bounty Hunter wasn't as great as the other classic Star Wars games developed and published by LucasArts in the early 2000s, it is interesting to revisit in 2021, with it being the sole Mandalorian-led AAA Star Wars game, and having been released prior to all the various animated and live-action series that have fleshed out the Mandalorians since. It would also depict a period of the Star Wars canon yet to be seen outside of the comics or novels, which would make for a refreshing change of pace given the most recent games have for the most part focused on the original trilogy. Doing so in a third-person action game made in the Bounty Hunter mold would not only provide a great way of retelling a beloved story from Star Wars Legends, but contribute something new and valuable to the mythology of the Mandalorians in the current canon.

Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni's The Mandalorian, meanwhile, has only further cemented the planet's place at the forefront of Star Wars, and the spotlight is set to continue with the release of The Book of Boba Fett spin-off.
Star Wars: The Clone Wars explored the Mandalorian Civil War between Death Watch and the True Mandalorians, while Star Wars Rebels focused on how Mandalore survived the Imperial occupation. Although not considered one of the best Star Wars games like KOTOR or Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast, Bounty Hunter is fondly remembered by many Star Wars fans and could be revisited, especially now that the Mandalorians have a central role in the franchise. The 2002 video game, Star Wars: Bounty Hunter, served as a prequel to Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones, and explored how Jango Fett was recruited by Count Dooku and became the genetic template of the Clone Army. Although Jango's origin - and the existence of Mereel, for that matter - were wiped from the Star Wars continuity with Disney's acquisition of Lucasfilm in 2012, a small Easter egg in the second season of The Mandalorian brought Mereel back into canon, leaving the door open for Jango's origin to be retold - potentially in video game form. The Dark Horse comic, Jango Fett: Open Seasons, detailed the origin of Jango Fett and revealed how the True Mandalorians, led by Mereel, raised him after his family was murdered by Death Watch, a traditionalist Mandalorian faction.
The return of Lucasfilm Games promises to bring new single-player Star Warsvideo games to fans in the coming years, and a reboot of Star Wars: Bounty Hunter that focused on Jango Fett's mentor, Jaster Mereel, should be one of them.
