![]() ![]() You get to spend time training up your skills, you go on quests to far flung locations to try and learn more about the cult, and you battle other Jedi (both light and dark) as you grow stronger and cooler. Across multiple chapters, Jaden has to deal with the usual tropes that come with Star Wars. Then, as it turns out, there’s a Sith cult that’s trying to resurrect an ancient but powerful Sith Lord, and, for those unaware, Sith are the bad guys. You play Jaden Korr, a dude who straight up knows he’s a Jedi, and is here to study under Luke Skywalker himself. Personally, I have a stronger tie to Jedi Outcast because of when it came out and how much I played it as a child, but you cannot overlook the way that Jedi Academy immediately sets things up for the player. Switch players finally have a chance to look into the final leg of that saga (and possibly the biggest chapter of wish fulfilment), Jedi Academy. Lucasarts really did make some amazing PC games, and nowhere was that more apparent than the Jedi Knight games. Pretending that you open automatic doors with your powers or swinging around a flashlight while making sloshing sounds are pretty much staples of my sad childhood imagination, but I’m comforted by the fact that I wasn’t the only one. If you’ve even seen one of the movies at some point in your childhood, you inexorably have a tie to the ideas of things like The Force, lightsabers and green muppets giving you advice. There’s just something about being a Jedi that really calls to people in a very exciting and entertaining way.
