Finalnight Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 Anyone else see this on TFN.net While in Imperial Remnant space, Kyle heard a rumor that the Sith had possibly survived all these years after Endor. Due to his personal experience with mysterious Sith magic on Drommund Kaas, Kyle took it upon himself to investigate after the invasion, following clues from Ord Sedra in the Clacis Sector to Yaga Minor, and finally striking out into the region known as the Cloak of the Sith. There's been no word from Kyle for some time, and it's feared that he's succumbed to the same fate as the Jedi Daye Azur-Jamin, who inexplicably disappeared during the Yuuzhan Vong War. http://theforce.net/books/story/New_Kyle_Katarn_Info_at_WotC_91328.asp EDIT: CELEBRATION III UPDATE A panel recently closed at Celebration 3 which revealed details on the new post-NJO book series. The title of the series was announced as being "Legacy of the Force". The era will be referred to as the "Legacy Era". The first book in the series by Aaron Allston will be entitled "Betrayal". There will be a hardback followed by two paperbacks, then that's repeated through the 9 books. The first is due in June 2006 with the others to follow every 3 months. The books will feature conflict stemming from "planetary interests that threaten peace" and Luke will be plagued by visions of "approaching darkness". Much of it will take place in the Outlands. The book covers a 2 - 3 year span and the main characters will be in their 60s which the authors referred to as "the new 40s". A few other items of interest emerged. Troy Denning revealed that Kyle Katarn has a role in Dark Nest as well as the Chiss. Raynar will reappear in the book as well. He's just been MIA, not dead.

jon_hill987 Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 Nah, I think if there is gonna be another Jedi Knight game (let's hope there is and that it uses the Serious 2 engine) then i think it will follow on from the dark side ending of jedi accademy, with Kyle hunting down Jaden.

Neverhoodian Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 Originally posted by LukeKatarn No I didn't see anything about JKIII comeing out, because it already came out................................................... Not if you ask TK-8252. But let's not even go there. No need to beat a dead horse. It's nice to hear that good 'ol Kyle's still being used in Star Wars tales. That said however, I don't think there will be another Jedi Knight game anytime soon. I have a hunch that if another JK game is made, it will be at least a few years from now, much like the five year interval between Jedi Knight and Jedi Outcast (or four years if you count the Mysteries of the Sith expansion).

I doubt it, Lucas has stated that for the KOTOR series of games the light side ending is canon, so he'd probably do the same for the JK series.

Maybe they'll put me in the Credits. <_< >_> As for JK3, I have no hopes. But I do have an idea of basing the next JK game in the Clone Wars. You play as a Jedi infiltrating Geonosis and then going thru tons of missions in the CW, and then escaping and evading the Jedi Purge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think LucasArts would be moreso promoting their current saber slasher...the ep3 game... mtfbwya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toms Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 They have mapped out so much backstory for all the characters in the EU it makes it almost impossible to find any "free space" in which to set new adventures. At least without contradicting itself. I don't see any Jedi Knight games coming up soon, i'm pretty sure they will be busy with the EP3 games for a while yet. Anyway, much as i loved the original Dark Forces, Jedi Knight and MotS (less so JO, and JA was only a little better) I think the series has kind of run into the ground. They can't KEEP making kyle (or one of his students) loose his saber, relearn all his skills and choose between light and dark... and the remnant is becoming an increasingly stretched threat. Also, KOTOR has kind of raised the bar as far as SW adventures go, and another JO/JA won't really cut it. ----------- I always thought JA should have followed up the "dark kyle from JK" ending, or featured mara jade. But i don't now think they will ever do either of those. ----------- However, once ep3 is out and the Canon is set for the whole 6 movies it will open up a lot more freedom to do games that range from ep1 through to ep4. Which could lead to some interesting possibilities: - The further adventures of obi-wan after ep3. - A proper Rebellion/Supremacy empire building game where you actually get to research and combine techs from all the movies and determine how it all works out (Trade Fed wins, jedi join droids, gungans develop deathstar, etc..) - A "Darth Vader" game that follows his recovery from his "accident" and his hunting down of the remaining jedi. This would rock and be similar to a JK game. My ideal game would basically be a SW version of Deus Ex (DE meets KOTOR if you will) which would give you the freedom to develop a jedi, a bounty hunter, a scoundrel, or anything in between, and to influence the plot and choose an alignment. The only problem would be when to set it to give you the freedom to do all that... i guess pre-ep1 or KOTOR-time would be best... but i can't help wanting such a game set between eps3 and 4 and with Thrawn as a bad guy.

Darth Groovy Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 Not to bad mouth TheForce.net, but ALOT of garbage has floated through there through out the years. Anybody here old enough to remember the faux Episode II trailer? While it WAS pretty, it was fabricated. There is also alot of fabricated rumors, scripts, and "sightings" that have been floating around there for years now. I used to belong to TheForce.net a couple of years before I joined here. My experience with LucasForums, is that the elders of this community and respective owners, still have a VERY close relationship with LucasArts. Not to sound arrogant, but when WE know something, YOU will know something, and those who hold the rank of Supermod and higher, usually hear about these things before anyone else does. Until you see something on the LA website, and/or a global announcement from one of our admins, don't put TOO much stock into what you see on TheForce.net.

toms Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 But to be fair TFN isn't saying that there WILL be a new JK3, only that the official (?) bios for Kyle and his family have been updated. They just comment that this might mean a new JK game based on the new info... but they do make clear it is just speculation on their part. -------- Sabretooth: You fail to realise that when I rule the gungans I will rule them with an iron fist and shape them into an efficient and formidible fighting force. And i won't appoint my generals from proven failures simply because they bring Natalie Portman to kneel before me... ..although now i think about it...
