That's what killed Jedi Academy for me as it was just a series of totally disconnected levels on different worlds.
Jango_Fettish posted:Look at it this way. The SA has been tortured and mentally abused by Vader for a long time. He becomes a killing machine. He runs into General Kota, and starts to see the light. So if this story is of redemption, he is going to have to face Vader, right? So it is possible that the poor kid gets hacked to pieces by Vader himself. I know that would ruin the chance of a sequel, but it really would be cool - after Vader ruins the kids life, he goes and finishes him off and washes his hands clean of the whole thing. I know it has been speculated from the beginning as a possible ending, it just seems so much more powerful with the new details of his training under Vader being shown in the new video.

Jedi Ben posted:Just saw the vid recently, have to say pulling a Star Destroyer down is taking TK way too far but that aside...Potentially good. Of note is a news story that suggests a Wii version, with the remote acting as a lightsaber! JB
Zorrixor posted:I'd be torn on a tragic ending. I'd love it for the novel, not so sure about the game. There's something about a video game that makes me always dislike the sad endings. For pure story based value in the book? It'd be great. Although, having said that, I'm not sure if any ending in the game will feel like an "achievement" because at the end of the day the SA can't accomplish anything monumental within the closed period he exists in. He can't kill Vader, he can't overthrow the Emperor, so I suppose if he's going to have to fail his mission perhaps a tragic ending would be good rather than having him just escape from Vader's clutches and run away to become another random member of the Rebellion or whatever.
