In 1995, Star Wars fandom was largely rooted in games, comics, and books, as the film series had stagnated since the original trilogy. Dark Forces, released by LucasArts, introduced a hardcore first-person shooter experience, offering a new narrative involving Kyle Katarn, who undertakes missions for the Rebel Alliance. This game laid the groundwork for future Star Wars narratives, influencing films like Rogue One and series such as The Mandalorian and Andor, showcasing how its themes and tones are echoed in contemporary storytelling and the franchise's latest endeavors.
In the first mission of "Dark Forces," you're sent to an Imperial facility to steal the Death Star plans, echoing the storyline of "Rogue One."
"Dark Forces" set a dark and gritty tone that influenced later Star Wars media, showcasing how its aesthetic resonates with modern storytelling in the franchise.
