The rest of the game was an adventure into the future and the narrowest cliffs in the history of gaming. Sadly, this game was replaced by the rogue squadron series (mediocre-at-best ripoff of starfox) and is basically unplayable now due to choppiness and anxiety-caused from falling over the edge. Also - killing Boba Fett was a feat to be had.
My uncle at the time bought me and my brother (and himself too kinda) the N64 literally right when it came out, I think he snagged one from Toys R Us somehow. The two game he bought were Super Mario World 64 and this, SW:SOTE. As a kid, SOTE was a really scary and difficult game. The first level was the aforementioned Republic fighter mission where you're harpooning those big robot machines. I think level 2 or 3 was an asteroid shooting mission against empire fighters. And then yes, there were several levels including the Boba Fett one which were quite difficult and pretty nerve racking. Just getting to Boba Fett on the train/tram, and then you had to navigate around this junkyard area to get him. The game in general was just very challenging and stands out in my memory.
edit: damn, reading the wikipedia page now. DASH RENDAR! The Wampas caused me nightmares too. The junkyard fight I'm thinking of is IG-88.
