This was my absolute favorite Star Wars game. I remember playing this as a kid everyday after school. It was the best time for Star Wars game and my childhood.

I'm currently playing this game for the first time on Switch and it's already one of my favourites Star wars games. And I'm still in the early levels, no lightsaber nor force powers, just blasting my way through 💥🔫

I love the point where they meet in Mon Mothma's office, talking about crystal mining and such, the discreet background music, is the somber Jedi Temple theme, foreshadowing something Jedi related. It's in the title of course but this little and brilliant touch, sets the mood !

Actually Vice Admiral Thrawn did appear in "Tie Fighter" which came out in the 90s, so that is technically the first appearance of the Schiss in video-games format!

I am disappointed that I was not able to get father in this game as a kid. I had a lot of trouble on the first level, and I just couldn’t beat the level that starts with you at the bar. I wonder if I went back now could. I beat it without any guides. However I played so many hours in the custom battle mode. It was just so fun playing matches lightsabers only with my friend

Hey man your video is amazing. I am so happy that I am not the only one who grew up being super fan of that game series, the story, the lightsaber gameplay man...how good it was. Thanks for this looong video I really love it, I hope you'll get more subscribers you deserve it. :)

This was an absolute blast. Had my attention the entire way through! Can’t wait to see more content from you in the future!!

A new video essay on my #1 absolute favorite Star Wars game?!!! YES!

Oh dude! I feel so lucky to have stumbled upon this video. This is one of my absolute favorite formats, Big ups to the even audio editing and lack of loud or obnoxious oke edits. I don't remember much about this game because I was reaaally little when I played it but watching this is giving me flashback! Thanks for putting in the hard work, I hope you get some fire bbq soon.

Dang man a 2 hour video on an old game by someone with good editing and passion? Thanks algorithm I’ll sub 🍻 Obligatory request for the best Star Wars game ever: KotOR 2

This was a fantastic retrospective. I love this game inside and out, it's my favourite Star Wars game ever and I've been inspired to play through it again. I never knew about the force nexus point in the final fight with Dessan, I always just took him on directly so, you've helped me learn something new! A very well put together video with the replacement music and the edit pacing to let us enjoy the story without cutting around anything important. You've earned yourself a subscriber, sir. Looking forward to your next video.

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 KZfaq, from young players, actually praising older games.

That level you hated, my favorite and most memorable level lol. I loved the atmosphere, music and vibe. Put away the saber, sniping those snipers was super fun.

You described the feeling of realizing this was a sequel and not knowing what game 'Jedi Knight 1' was like 😅. I was 11 when this came out and got it on GameCube and it was my favorite star wars game. Still one of my favorites as I'm about to buy it on the PlayStation store. I've enjoyed this review series very much and look forward to Academy!! May the Force be with you and thanks for your hard work!!

This was excellent, such a fun watch. Also if you don't mind me saying you have a great presenter voice

Raven made Nar Shaddar the first lightsaber level because earlier in development it wasn't a lightsaber level but decided to give the player the lightsaber earlier.

1:18:23 I thought he was confused because Lando didn't know the Remnant was behind the attack, he's only ever seen Reelo's thugs so Kyle wasn't expecting to see them either.

59:18 Actually, if you crouch while using the scope you can move around.

Raven Studios is where Kyle's ship The Ravens Claw gets its name.

Love your reviews of the Dark Forces/Jedi Knight series games! These games were hallmarks of my childhood (are great today still)! Indeed, Dark Forces 2 was my "gateway drug" into Star Wars, even before I saw the movies. Curious, where is the Valley of the Jedi duel song from (the one around 4:05)?

9:03 In my head canon Kyle is Revan reincarnated because they both had the same voice actors at some point. :D

I always wondered what Desann's race is since you never see any others like him in any other starwars game, show or movie.

1:32:15 Despite what Kyle says, you definitely can go Rambo on most of these troopers without a problem. The only place where you can't progress without sneaking is the room where you have to turn off the lights.

58:17 I think the point here was exactly that: Raven knew that everyone will be too eager to use only the lightsaber so they put the player in a situation where using it is a disadvantage. 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. Okay, Jango did kill Coleman Trebor in the Geonosian arena but if you ask me it was quite pathetic, meaning that Trebor must have been the lamest of all Jedi. :D

I'm curious if you've seen any of the interviews with the Raven Software devs on this game. They give a lot of insight on why the game is the way it is (for better and worse). I highly recommend them as someone who's been playing this masterpiece since i was potty trained.

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?

I would argue that outcast has superior lightsaber gameplay to academy. in academy they ruined the balance of it by adding speedy unblockable katas and combos.

JESUS CHRIST THAT'S A LONG VIDEO

Copyright strikes in no way effect your channel negatively. I used a bunch of John Williams music in my lightsaber unboxing video. It just means you can't monetize the video. If you're trying to make a couple bucks I guess I get it but taking the Star Wars music out of a star wars game is just lame.
