Veteran Admiral Ackbar confirmed for Star Wars Battlefront: Renegade Squadron

Game developer blog update time, and it's rather squid-alien flavored. Yep, the guys behind LucasArts' Star Wars Battlefront: Renegade Squadron has recently updated their online journal, and this time it's about Admiral Ackbar and how his existence in the game gave rise to one of the developers' more cherished childhood memories.

Here's a snippet of the blog entry, verbatim:

If you remember -- and I sure do -- Admiral Ackbar was a "send-away-for" figure that you could only get after you sent in a certain amount of proof of purchase tabs. Well, I sent away for him as soon as I found this out, and one a warm summer day, I received a small gray package with his glorious figure inside. 


Unfortunately, such a collection was not meant to stay intact. The denouement to this childhood memory: I wish I knew where that figure was now. Like nearly all of my others, it fell prey to dreaded "spring cleaning" that many mothers do in their children's bedrooms over the years.

Quite a bittersweet ending, don't you agree? At least many other players will be able to step into Admiral Ackbar's shoes once you recruit him in Star Wars Battlefront: Renegade Squadron. Nothing like giving the old squid-alien Admiral some time in the field. Updates as we get them, and in the meantime enjoy this video of him in action!
