jmvrett Posted June 3, 2002 Share Posted June 3, 2002 This is my first post but I just wanted to start off by saying that I am Star Wars fan. It appears that there are two types of people that post things on these forums: Star Wars fans and Gamers. Well, I am a Star Wars Fan. Anyway, is anyone else getting sick of Kyle Katarn? I liked the guy when he was just a mercenary, but when he started to become a Jedi, it just seems... well... trite. I think it may be time for Kyle to go away and LucasArts to focus on creating a new FPS character. Or, better yet, there are some great books that would make great SW games. What do you guys think?

NerfYoda Posted June 3, 2002 Share Posted June 3, 2002 Speaking of are there any fancy Yuuhzan Vong skins out there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkJediGirl Posted June 3, 2002 Share Posted June 3, 2002 Only one I know of thats out there yet is the Nom Anor skin, its available on this site =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TyrX Posted June 3, 2002 Share Posted June 3, 2002 Don't mean to get off topic but is Michael Stackpole going to write anymore books? I got to Dark Tide 2 and i can't find 3 anywhere... Anyway I think Kyle Katarn is one of those old men...He should just "disapear" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vestril Posted June 3, 2002 Share Posted June 3, 2002 Mmmmm Yuuzhan Vong Mod *goes off into dreamy state* Nope, there is no Dark Tide 3, though Stackpole has a bunch of other books out there that are non SW, you might want to read them, if you really like them. Don't be so mean to poor Kyle, he finally got Jan after two games, give him a break. I like the idea of him being a master in the next game. You start off training under him, running a merc mission or two, and learning a little about the Force, then the latest Sith bad guy comes along and Kills Kyle--so you have to learn to use the Force fully, and kill the Sith, all the while walking the edge between light and Dark thanks to the grief and rage caused by the loss of your mentor. Mmmmm...that would be good. Or a Yuuzhan Vong Expansion Pack, or Mod... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedantic Posted June 3, 2002 Share Posted June 3, 2002 I really don't care. Kyle seems fine to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snakeeyesa27 Posted June 3, 2002 Share Posted June 3, 2002 I remember a long time ago, right when Jedi Knight was released, i heard about it and thought, "oh, so now he's a jedi? PLEEEASE. EVERYBODY'S a jedi." If these lucasarts people had their way Han and Chewie would be jedi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Rooster Posted June 3, 2002 Share Posted June 3, 2002 Chewie is already a Jedi, you just don't find out until episode 8, where it is explained that he was controlling the Emperor all along, but was so powerful, he could disguise the aura of the force around him so nobody could tell. And as for Han... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro The Hutt Posted June 3, 2002 Share Posted June 3, 2002 Bleh, Kyle's cool, I don't want him to disappear ^.^ (heck I even think they should have put him in the New Jedi Order books hehe) So.. nah ^.^ Kyle doesn't have to go at all if you ask me.

Katoa_Kliq Posted June 3, 2002 Share Posted June 3, 2002 Katarn isn't that bad, but I wouldn't mind seeing a new game with another character. Either way, I'm happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackDove Posted June 3, 2002 Share Posted June 3, 2002 Katarn ownz... Besides we already know he will probably be doing SOMETHING after the vacation with Jan... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue_Ace Posted June 3, 2002 Share Posted June 3, 2002 Great so that means that next time we will play as Kyle's son:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackDove Posted June 3, 2002 Share Posted June 3, 2002 Actually as him again...I mean he (sort of) says it in the end and makes sure it's punctuated (I really have no idea how to spell <---that word). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vader10 Posted June 3, 2002 Share Posted June 3, 2002 Let Kyle fade away. I have enjoyed playing as Kyle in the JK games, but I would like future games to be viewed through a younger character. I just can't take playing some old bearded guy anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patton Posted June 3, 2002 Share Posted June 3, 2002 I agree. Kyle works well as a mercenary, but I'm seriously bored of him as a Jedi. He looks more like a shmuck than an honored knight. If by any change my thoughts go to some fellow at Lucasarts, give me a game with a real Jedi. If you're going to do an expansion, don't bother with the Force development of the character. Just give me the power from the start, and put me in Jedi robes. A game based in the old old republic (pre episode 1) would be really cool. Peace keeping missions, etc. You'd have alot of freedom within the universe, and you could make the character be younger than 80 years old.

Absath Posted June 3, 2002 Share Posted June 3, 2002 well for those of you that are sick of kyle katarn, Bloodriot and I are creating a single player storyline with our latest character, Tyrion Kane. The storyline will chronicle Tyrion's fall to the dark side at the hands of a Sith Master, immediatly following the death of Exar Kun and the annihilation of the Sith army. You'll get to play as a Sith for once. -Abs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
©-Kïzötzëphæl Posted June 3, 2002 Share Posted June 3, 2002 As a Star Wars fan, you should know that Kyle Katarn is from the Expanded Universe, he did "Exist".. but not in the films, he was a jedi and mercenary I guess. But i agree, they should concentrate on another person now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThirdGenRX7 Posted June 3, 2002 Share Posted June 3, 2002 I don't care much for the jedi kyle either. I don't really pull for him when I play like i do with some other games... probably why people like to change the character for single player:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aegis Posted June 3, 2002 Share Posted June 3, 2002 I don't mind him so much, but I do think they should end his little story line, and pass the torch to a new person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trahern Valley Posted June 3, 2002 Share Posted June 3, 2002 Kyle's okay, but there's only so much of him I can stand. There's an interesting sidebar to the 'son-of-Kyle' idea...would Kyle's offspring have force powers, or would they have to go to the Valley as well? Yes to a new character for JK3, yes to starting with sithness. We keep hearing about jedi turning to the dark side. How about a sith finding the light, for a change? I want to know what Tavion gets up to after Kyle lets her live... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vestril Posted June 3, 2002 Share Posted June 3, 2002 Geez, a guy gets into his 30's, gets a little gray hair, and all of the sudden he's 'too old.' Kid's these days...no respect for your elders... I guess it's not that important to me who I play as. I think that there are only so many different ways that they can put Kyle through his paces and still be original, which is why I agreee that the torch should be passed. As a Star Wars fan, you should know that Kyle Katarn is from the Expanded Universe, he did "Exist".. but not in the films, he was a jedi and mercenary I guess. Nope, Kyle made his debut in Dark Forces. They made him up--just for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue_Ace Posted June 3, 2002 Share Posted June 3, 2002 Kyle did not have to go to the valley to get the force he already had it. He just went because it had been so long since he had used the force... i dont know mabey like a refresher course:D . As for a new character yeh i think that it is time to put Kyle to rest. I like the idea of playing as a sith (again for JK players:) ) Mabey somthing that took place very early in the republic so you could take part of the huge jedi v. sith war or something.

darthfergie Posted June 3, 2002 Share Posted June 3, 2002 Kyle is okay. But really Kyle should be fighting Vong in the X-Pack (please make one) Insider said he was a military advisor then...but he could be advising while killing vong:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vladimir_Berkov Posted June 3, 2002 Share Posted June 3, 2002 Vader, Ben Kenobi, Dooku, Yoda, Palpatine, etc are all much older than Kyle, but you don't hear bitching about them being too old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
