STAR WARS™ Jedi Knight - Jedi Academy™

the last time i played this game was on the xbox as a kid. i played up until the merchant rescue level and never beat it because i was scared of the sand worm, then spent an absurd amount of hours playing capture the flag with bots. still fun

9/10 Great game! Has the best lightsaber combat system of all Star Wars games with plenty of styles and force powers to choose from, allowing you to truly be your own Jedi! The story is decent and entertaining enough to keep you engaged throughout and duelling with Dark Jedi can get both addicting and at times frustrating. Although great it is held back somewhat due to being quite janky, movement feeling slippery at times and a few poorly designed encounters here and there. Overall I highly recommend it! The game also has a cult following with an active modding community including the mod 'Movie Battles 2'. Worth checking out for those that are interested!

I have played almost all jedi games. The jedi academy allows you to play combat in real time as opposed to marking up your next 5 moves and waiting and watching as it goes down.... the game is ...if were remade for todays specks and a bit of nvidea help or any other cards this game would just ROCK!..

best star wars game you can play. put some modes on like movie battles 2 for pvp and and movie duels for a better story driven time. this can not be beat

I first played this game when i was 8 years old on my dads computer, i decided to get it again when it was on sale and boy am i glad i did. i keep coming back to it, as its always so much fun.

the mod scene is wonderful new servers with players on it very nice

The movie battles 2 mod has the absolute best lightsaber combat out of any game out there. Absolutely worth the money. Super fun to play with friends and aura farming possibilities are endless. You can get it for about 3€ from eneba or g2a.

Best saber and force combat of any star wars game ever. Story is good too.

fun game, very unique lightsaber combat

a og and funny game and its a really good game lol

the game keeps freezing for me, i cant get past the intro where luke takes us back to the temple

It is a fun game and entertaining story. You don't have to complete all missions if you don't want too. Lightsaber combat is not perfect, but is still useful. Voice acting & soundtrack really is fantastic

Absolute peak lightsaber combat in a Star Wars game.

Best lightsaber combat of all time Owned the disc when it first came out and still love it today

The game does not appear to work on modern computers. Such a same. The game freezes up every time after finished the beginning of the tutorial at the end of a cut scene.

Ahoy, Swoonds here. Have you ever wanted to roleplay as a Jedi with severe brain damage, no regard for Jedi ethics, and a pathological need to force lightning innocent NPCs into giblets just to hear them scream? Have you ever wanted to join a noble space monastery, only to immediately steal a lightsaber, hop in a stolen speeder, and war crime your way across the galaxy? Then, boy oh boy, do I have the game for you: Star Wars: Jedi Knight – Jedi Academy. 🛸 The Premise You are Jaden Korr, an extremely customizable Jedi student who arrives at Luke Skywalker’s bootleg Hogwarts for Force-sensitive weirdos. You can choose your race, gender, saber color, fighting style, and whether or not you’ll completely disregard your teachings the moment someone says the word "power." Your first mission? Survive the academy. Your final mission? Become the Jedi equivalent of a coked-up Sith accountant with a double-bladed saber and an anger problem. Also, there’s a plot about some Sith cult trying to resurrect a dead dark lord using the ancient Star Wars tradition of sucking Force juice out of monuments like a capri sun. It's dumb. It’s wonderful. It’s Star Wars. ⚔️ The Gameplay At its heart, Jedi Academy is a lightsaber simulator disguised as a third-person shooter. You get Force powers, multiple saber styles, and a rich combat system where you can: Force push a stormtrooper off a cliff. Kick a Sith Lord in the nuts mid-backflip. Dismember an entire room of cultists in a single beautiful, accidental swing. And get your own head removed if you time it wrong. Combat is fast, satisfying, and sometimes broken in the most delightful ways. Saber duels feel like a ballet of death performed by two caffeinated toddlers in robes. 🧠 The AI & Level Design The enemy AI is... questionable. Stormtroopers are Olympic-level sharpshooters with the reaction time of a meth addict. Sith cultists, on the other hand, will: Jump backwards off cliffs Whiff saber throws at the wall Try to do fancy midair spins and die instantly from fall damage And the level design? An absolute fever dream. You'll go from: Sinking sand temples To Imperial bases made of 95% catwalks and death pits To Tatooine where a Jawa hijacks your speeder and you have to chase him like a bounty hunter on bath salts It's like they gave every level to a different developer with no communication and a shared hatred for OSHA standards. 🌌 The Force Powers The best part of Jedi Academy is the freedom to not be a Jedi at all. You can: Choke civilians Shoot lightning out of your fingers Throw your lightsaber like it’s a fidget spinner from hell Slow down time like you’re doing a Warhammer Slaanesh cosplay Want to be a good boy? Pick Force Heal, Absorb, and Mind Trick. Want to become Darth Anklebreaker? Pick Grip, Rage, and Force Drain like you're feeding on orphans for fun. The Jedi Code says: "There is no emotion, there is peace." Jedi Academy says: "There is no peace, only massive Force repulsion-based homicide." 🎮 Customization & Sabers Lightsabers are like condoms in this game. You start with one, and later they ask if you want two. Or a double-bladed one. The dual sabers are for "I watched too many prequel fights and think I’m hot shit." The double-blade is for "I want to spin like a Beyblade and hope everyone else dies before I do." Either way, dismemberment is encouraged. You can even enable it fully with a console command (g_sabermorerealistic 2) and suddenly the Jedi Order becomes Quentin Tarantino’s lightsaber LARP. 🤖 Kyle Katarn You’re trained by Kyle Katarn, the man, the myth, the entire beard of justice. He’s the Chuck Norris of Star Wars Expanded Universe. Stole the Death Star plans before Rogue One made it trendy Turned down being a Sith Lord because he got bored Canonically once fought a dark Jedi with just his fists Sounds like he smokes death sticks for breakfast and snorts midichlorians He’s your mentor, and like any true master, he will do nothing to help you unless the plot demands it. Half the game is him calling you on the Jedi Nokia saying: “Good job, Jaden. Also, don’t die.” Then immediately hangs up. 💀 Multiplayer Madness Multiplayer in Jedi Academy is... Well. It’s a medieval battle arena with anime physics, modded skins, and 200 ping latency saber duels that last 12 minutes. People fly through the air, screaming You can bunnyhop like a cracked-out rabbit on steroids Half the server is dueling The other half is RP walking and typing “/emotesitsdown” in chat And then a dude named “Darth_xX420Sn1p3zXx” walks in and kills the entire server with a rocket launcher before getting vote kicked. 🏆 Final Verdict Jedi Academy is unhinged. It’s janky. It’s stupid. It’s wonderful. It lets you: Build your Jedi Go on galactic field trips Blow people up with Force powers And stab your way through the entire Sith religion like it's a buffet line It's the closest Star Wars has ever gotten to Jedi sandbox perfection. And it still holds up better than most modern games because it knows exactly what it is. A glorified saber whacking simulator where you can throw people off bridges with your mind and call it justice. 10/10 Would force push a Gamorrean into a lava pit again.

been a while since i had fun with a custom character in star wars universe

play in KR server today and make friends! Highly recommended if you are a Star Wars fan!

A solid game. Worth trying, especially when discounted. 3/5

This is a nostalgic game to me and that value can't be conveyed in a review. It doesn't run well in its vanilla edition but the mod community has made some new stuff worth checking out

The graphics are dated by today's standards but don't let that get in the way of one of the best Star Wars games ever made.

i love THIS GAME especially because of the fact that you have different styles of sabers from dual wielding to a staff

This is, unironically, where the sequels should have used as a template. Maybe bring us farther into the future, but the New Republic and New Jedi Order would have been excellent stepping stones. While this is basically a fan fiction (albeit a decent one) with a Saturday morning cartoon vibe, in 2003 we've already seen Jedi dealing with a greyer side to their emotions and not recruiting exclusively children (who are "too old" at, like, age 7). It's a unique spin on the Jedi as we've been told, leaning more into an Old Republic era philosophy. We're not cops sitting in the wings for senators to use, we're followers of an order filled with unique personalities going on fun adventures. And this combat man, good lord is it fun! It's chaotic--especially in the later levels--but nearly each level offers a unique challenge and set of enemies to cut down. Lightsabers are as powerful as they should be, with duels between Sith or encounters with a dozen troopers ending in literal seconds. Guns are an afterthought, but still come with their uses to remove mines, pick out tougher enemies at a distance, or simply mix it up a bit. 22 years later and I'm appalled at just how fun and open-ended this game consistently is with its solid 13-hour campaign. Duels and ambushes with tougher enemies can sometimes lead to frustration on how best to break their defenses or shore up your own, but there's a sweet spot, a Zen rhythm that can catch you off guard when you're sweeping through level after level with the saber style of your choice and your custom Original Character Do Not Steal.

There should be a steam workshop and itd be perfect
