First off, I really don't know much about the EU so I won't comment on that. But I do have one question:
How many times are you going to post this exact same topic?
No matter how many threads you start, you're not going to change the content going into JtL at this point. If they did decide to add him to the game this far in the development, he'd have little more than a bit part, which I am sure would fall well below your wants.
Not flaming. Just stating what would seem to be obvious.

I don't care much about Katarn himself, but his ships were both pretty cool. I'd like for those classes of ships to be included in JTL.

Oh and you say Darktroopers have only ever been in Dark Forces but that isn't true. They were also in a TALES story and will be a playable class in the game Battlefront.

Kyle Katarn is extremely lame. sorry but its true. He is just like all the other characters that Mike Stackpole created for various games, a master at everything. * rolls eyes *

Kyle is the best EU star wars character ever! And he has the best quote: THe dark side? I've been there. Do your worst!

Well most people should know who kyle is he has been in 5 games.
Now dash he has only been in 1 game i think but it would be good to see him in there as well.
What is dash up to at this point in the time line?

ive played Shadows of the Empire lots and lots of times and that game STARTS at the battle of Hoth. but somewhere in that game it mentions that he knew Han Solo for a long time and they were buddies... apparently right now. good old Dash is doing nothing.

We play Kyles padawanKatarn has starred in the books:Dark Forces: Soldier For The Empire - Katarn finds out about the rebels not killing his father, and therefore escapes the Empire.Dark Forces: Rebel Agent - Same story as the game Jedi KnightDark Forces: Jedi Knight - Same story as the game Jedi KnightKyle Katarn related characters in Star Wars Galaxies: An Empire Devided:Reelo Baruk (First appearance: Jedi Outcast, Nar Shaddaa)Dark Trooper (First appearance: Dark Forces, Talay)Mara Jade (First appearance: I know its a farstretch, but she did have a role in Mysteries of the Sith, you even got to play her!)Swamp Troopers (First appearance: Jedi Outcast, they don't look the same but they were in JO)The best part is, Katarn is now (In our timeline) working for the rebellion, but no one knows where, so you guys can place him as a mission hander, at some deserted rebel base!Please add this character! He would now be a mercenary working for the rebels, and not a jedi!If you agree (and aint a dev) just type /sign...If you dont agree (and aint a dev) just type /flame...If you are a dev, tell us that you will add him
Please just stop this stupid petition stuff.
God every time I see this I want to fly to where the person lives and just slap them across the face...

1. I would be satisfied if I could talk to him at all. I want to see him in game. That's it.
2. I still want to keep my hope! Hope is good. One of the films got the word hope in it.
3. If I'm lucky, he will be there someday, but if we dont say "Hey, we want Katarn 
" they will never know... They cant guess...
And for those of you complainin about petitions and stuff, this is my first. I love Katarn! He is my life. I would feel sorry if he never would be added to a game of this class.
