katanamaru Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 they've got a freaking book coming out where he is the main character, which I am not happy about. They're making a book about Jaden? Well I liked Jaden so I'm actually looking forward to this. Anyone know anything else about this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Vougalot Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Yeah, they're making a stupid book about said stupid character set after the Legacy of the Force novels yet somehow linking to the Great Hyperspace War of 5,000 BBY. Somebody on the Dark Horse message boards linked to a blog about it from StarWars.Com. If I can find it, I'll post it here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inyri Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Making a book about a character from a game that admittedly is considered by most players to have no reasonable plot seems like a waste of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Vougalot Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Indeed. Here's a link to the Wookieepedia article, which I believe links to said blog at the bottom. If it takes place in two different eras, I'll bet it's probably one of those kids' books from Scholastic Books, since they like to do that often. That makes me somewhat relieved as I usually just disregard those junior novels. It'll be nice if they retcon him to be a woman, though. But I don't see that happening.

katanamaru Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Yes Jaden was indeed not that great of a character in the story, or Rosh for that matter. I just liked the custom character idea and feature. But now that I think over a little more the book could indeed not be very entertaining. Unless they go with the Dark side ending. I know the Light side ending is cannon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikouen Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Then why would they go with the non-canon ending, when the EU materials all have to conform to established canon? =/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katanamaru Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 I just get tired of reading about the heros after awhile. I really enjoyed the Bane, Maul, and Vader books and their views of the Dark side. I would prefer to read a 'what if' instead of another Jedi saves the day story.

mstr kenobi Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 Eww, no! No more Jaden! Jaden sucks, especially now that they've canonized him as a male, and the male voice actor was terrible. The female one was awesome, and that's because it was Jennifer Hale, the voice of Bastila Shan from Knights of the Old Republic. So yes: let's forget all about Jaden. I wish Lucas Licensing would never touch the character again other than a mention or two here and there, but now they've got a freaking book coming out where he is the main character, which I am not happy about. Death to Jaden! Have Kyle fight the infant One Sith Order. Hell, they don't even have to kill him off as I suggested. second that. die jaden die!!! and take rosh with you!!!

katanamaru Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Kyle is one of the heros I would be willing to read about. Other than that it is time for some more badguy/girl books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacen Solo17 Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 dude i love kyle as much as anyone. but at least here he is your master. and you get to learn and fight from and with him. Jaden is awsome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WillKatarn Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 I just so hope there will be another Jedi Knight!! Imagine the graphics tody in a Jedi Knight game, but please not Force Unleashed style, pleeeeeeeease!!! I like Force Unleashed, but it just isn't Jedi Knight.

Zwier Zak Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Do you guys think that the game Free Radical Design is making for LA could be the next JK? It's that or a new BF, or a totally new game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikouen Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 If there were going to be any more JK Series games, LucasArts would not have waited over half a decade. They would have pushed out any old crap as quickly as possible, in order to make a quick buck. That's how LucasArts operate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would have pushed out any old crap as quickly as possible, in order to make a quick buck. That's how LucasArts operate. Yep. Pretty much. I doubt there'll be another game. they'll continue it with the whole Force Unleashed line of games, probably. At least in spirit. Frankly I'm about done with Jedi. They really don't interest me. I want to play a smuggler. Fat chance of that happening, though. Star Wars now equals prequels, which means All Jedi, All the Time. Pretty much why I'm basically done with Star Wars as a whole, come to think of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nizwiz Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 ... I want to play a smuggler ... Can't you do that in SWG? If not, you could at least hope that the JKA Galaxies mod currently in the making will at some point allow you to play a smuggler. I think they're open for suggestions so you could check out their forum and see what the chances are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zwier Zak Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 I belive there is a place for a new JK game. If you don't count JO and JA there are no good jedi games. And these two are getinng real old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katanamaru Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 That is up for debate on if there are any good jedi games. Well, that is mainly up to personal opionion really, and there is no reason to debate over opionion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sith-j-cull Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 Hey its not JKA 4 but it is a new Tatooine themed map that I have been working on for ages: Grab Mos Kreetle here: http://jediknight3.filefront.com/file/SJC_Mos_Kreetle;96662x#1700097 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDB_modeski Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Just thought I'd chime in to say that I hope 2009 brings with it an announcement of a new JK game. Wishful thinking, maybe, but it'd make my year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
station0420 Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Wow, I can’t believe this forum is still going. I just wanted to add that Lucas Arts can suck it as far as I am concerned. First we find out that force unleashed is not being released for the PC, then when the demo comes out it turns out to be a piece of crap-console game. No open JK playability. I have been with LA since the first Tie Fighter release on the floppy! I really feel let down by the company as a whole. Although, I still read the books...erhmmph So, who is modding a game for us to play JK with updated graphics and levels? It has been too long.
