Pretty simple really.


I've been there, and I've done that.


Don't get me wrong, I like playing a Jedi. I like the cool powers and the saber.


But seriously, I've been there, and I've done that.


I've played the following games:


Jedi Knight (3 times)

Mysteries of the Sith (the JK expansion) (twice)

Jedi Knight II (3 times)

Jedi Academy (twice)

Knights of the Old Republic

Knights of the Old Republic II


So I've been a Jedi 12 times. In fact,I've probably logged more hours as a Jedi than 90% of the players on the Ryatt Trail. I haven't even played any of the console titles that allow you to be a Jedi.


But how many games allow you to play the role of a Bounty Hunter? Unless you own a Game Cube, not many.

And note that none of these take place during the Galactic Civil War (that I know of)


100s of Jedi should not be kicking around in Coronet prior to Empire Strikes Back. They just SHOULDN'T be.

Add to your list.....


No planets under rebel control.


Lack of Imperial presence in the game.


Rancors and Krayts being soloable.


Smugglers having nothing to smuggle.


Rebel bases and town all over the galaxy.



Seriously dude, Jedi are just one small issue that is out of wack to the movies.

Yes but the number of Jedi is far more game breaking than the lack of content for smugglers.


GCW is hopeless nowadays. Its Jedi PvP, no one else need apply.

I don't remember any planets being under rebel control. If you're counting Yavin IV or Hoth, I only remember the rebels running away at every chance they could (and for good reason.) Were there ever rebel controlled planets?


Lack of Imperial presence in the game.


It could be beefed up a bit, I agree. Nothing compared to Jedi. Not even close. I remember seeing less than 10 sand troopers in Mos Eisly in the movies.


Rancors and Krayts being soloable.


Yep, this is just plain dumb, and should be fixed. Again, not as serious as Jedi, but still plain stupid. Fix one ranger trap, and you eliminate almost the entire problem. Why they haven't is beyond me.


Smugglers having nothing to smuggle.


As a smuggler myself, I agree. They should add smuggling to the game. While they're at it, why not have the 100s (or 1,000s) of Jedi per server hunt down and 'purge' the universe from the evil smugglers. The Empire doesn't care about smugglers, as they don't take control away (in many ways they help.) The Empire cares about threats to their "peace" Their are enough Jedi per server to easily overthrow the entire empire single-handedly.


Rebel bases and town all over the galaxy.


Bases and towns (at least settlements) make perfect sense and are completely canonical and EU. There were safe havens for rebels (just not entire planets.)


Seriously dude, Jedi are just one small issue that is out of wack to the movies.


I agree, but they're the most important fix needed now, before the Jedi population is even more out of control.

Tis not how close to the movies the game is that matters the most
Tis how much fun you have with the games. What ever they do to provide the best experience is what shuld be focused on, not what luke said in the movies or whatnot. I'm not saying the current state of affairs is the best experience possible, but the way things were in the movies wouldnt nessacarly be the most fun one could derive from the star wars universe

We're talking EU here, as well.


We might as well add the Stay-Puffed marshmallow man that does 3k damage per 'stomp' if it adds to the gaming experience (hell, it would for me!)

All this aside.


I have no desire to be a Jedi because I don't want to be hunted and I don't enjoy GCW that much anyway.


If more jedi stopped and thought "Will I moan like a 5 year old if I get killed as a Jedi ?" we wouldn't have


a: an overabundance of jedi


b: the anger between BH and jedi
