    So fun fact: Desann and Tavion each use their own unique lightsaber styles, Desann uses a one-handed variant of the Strong "Red" style and Tavion uses a one-handed variant of the fast "blue" style.
    Also, in the last level, you can use the force to put out the flames temporarily, and if you deploy the seeker drone in front of the mirror, it will atack where Desann is supposed to be instead of his reflection.

      There's also technically another lightsaber form, but its only in the GameCube version as far as I'm aware. It's more of a glitch, but if you use a cheat to start the game with the lightsaber, when beat certain levels while wielding it, the next level will load with him holding a different weapon with the blade of the lightsaber coming out of the weapons tip horizontally. The Kyle's movements are the same as if he's swinging it normally, but the blade is in a completely different direction. That port has a TON of glitches that are really cool!

    The general consensus is that Disney refused to touch the EU because they wanted to avoid paying out rights and seeding any creative control. That's why we got off-brand 'legally distinct' retreads. Thrawn was one of the few exception.

      The EU stuff was made by different people with permission from Lucas, so depending on what deal they made it is possible that those people have the rights to the new characters and events. Take the Wizard of Oz for example: The book is now in the public domain and anyone can make stories using it, but they cannot make stories using elements added by other people. For example: in the 1939 movie they changed the color of the magic shoes from silver to red. If you make a Wizard of Oz story you can use their original design or one you come up with, but you cannot use the one used in the movie without permission.

    One thing I don't like about the newer games is that we can't get weapons from enemies. Take Battle Front for example: I had a sniper rifle and was getting attacked by multiple enemies from close range so I had a hard time fighting them since I can only change my gun at weapon locker. Also some levels have preset weapons like the ones we play as Han or Lando. In those levels we have to fight entire armies with just a pistol because we can't pick up the machineguns from the enemies we kill. If it were a real situation I'm sure everyone would pick up a weapon from a dead body and use it, which is exactly what we can do in the Jedi Knight games.

    Did you know… you can keybind your lightsaber, to turn it on/off manually? When I found that as a kid, I thought I was genius. Probably not a huge secret.
    Something about being able to turn it off after each scrap just added some flavor to the already awesome saber controls. The constant saber hum sound if you don’t turn it off got old after the 1st level with it.

    Great game, great story. If i have one small complaint about it, is that it felt a bit too short in my first few playthroughs.
    I am still playing it along with Dark Forces 2, Mysteries of the Sith and Jedi Academy. Other old games too, Thief trilogy, Splinter Cell series, The first Deus Ex, Commandos 1 & 2, Starcraft 1 and 2, Warcraft 3 and more. Older games feel solid with tons of replay value.
    To clarify, i started pc gaming in my early 30's, yes i am 60 years old. And before anyone gives me shit about my age, my father in law is 90+ and he's playing pc games, single player and even WoW. Gaming is for every age. I consider myself lucky to have started when i did, because kids that grew up with consoles and pc's, don't appreciate the good, old stuff. I see many comments on UA-cam, from young players, actually praising older games.

      I like characters going through a beat down arc however that should been the focus of Rey or Fin. Luke already went through one of the greatest beat down arcs made and had learned his lesson about letting emotions cloud his judgment. It also didn't help it was in a flashback instead of a developed arc that might could work but only if we had more context shown not told. Legends had dozens of stories that with simple changes could have ben great movies especially if they avoided doing a trilogy and instead have focused on unique stories outside the main plots like Rouge one or Solo

      I just think the easy way to bring back Luke is have him be a wise master whose only struggles are external, when tying his fallibility into the creation of the trilogy’s main antagonist makes for a genuinely interesting dynamic. Luke’s imperfections made him relatable to me growing up; I’m glad he didn’t stop growing after RotJ. And his feat of sacrifice and heroism at the end of TLJ remains one of my fav Luke moments just for the sheer virtuosity of his use of the Force and the way he accepts his humanity while embracing his status as this mythic legend.
      To me, it made the two parts of Luke - the Man and the Myth - finally coexist peacefully in a way none of the Legends stories ever did.

    Soooo, for anyone who tries the game and doesn't know this:
    Change your lightsaber stances depending on situation.
    Light stance (Blue) has fast speed and low damage, but is the best one for deflecting blaster bolts. Great stance for stormtroopers and criminals.
    Medium stance (yellow) is the all rounder, good for every situation, but not great in any one of them.
    Decent speed, decent damage. Blaster bolts will be able to hit you some times, specially against multiple shooters or against weapons with fast rate of fire.
    Heavy stance (red) is pretty slow but has the most damage.
    Good luck deflecting blasters with this one, but you can sometimes end lightsaber duels in one or two hits.

    Second comment: I love this game and the character development Kyle goes through in it. But does Jan turning out to be alive sort of diminish the lesson learned/Kyle's development? Kyle is afraid to use the Force for fear of falling to the dark side and is even warned by Luke not to use the Force if he can't let go of his anger. He hold Tavion (defeated and defenseless) in a Force grip about to drop her into the Bespin pit band only releases her once she tells him that Jan is alive. Had Jan been dead, Kyle would've killed a defeated opponent and moved closer to the dark side. So does he really learn control and overcome and master himself or no since had it not been for things working out in his favor, he'd be on a path of vengeance and destruction and lose himself after all?

    • @BBQBARNES-GAMING

      Oh had Jan not lived he would have ended Tavion for sure however i wouldn't say it diminishes the lesson but instead changes it.

This was before the whole Jedi are supposed to shun attachments stuff that the prequels created so instead it shows how important having attachments can be.

They teach the player that you shouldn't rely too much on the saber and you should still use your other weapons. Be more tactical and not just hack and slash while running around. It also makes a really good point about how simple bounty hunters are able to kill Jedi which was maybe the first time that it was shown. I mean, it was said that people like Jango Fett have killed Jedi but we've never really seen it.
