    They're (LucasArts) pretty good at sticking to the continuity, so maybe give them the benefit of the doubt here and wait to see when the game is set , and what the Byss level entails before getting too concerned.

    Well, the Jedi Academy didn't exist until after Byss was destroyed, IIRC.

    Could be a space station where Byss was.

    Forget it I'm going to have a go at predicting this one fully.

    The Reborn/Cultist type people from the demo are channeling Force energies from the Jedi tomb on Chandrilla. I bet they go to the ruins of Byss and set up camp nearby to try and hookup to a strong darkside force left there.

    Man all this EU stuff is making me REALLY want to get this game?
    does anyone know if it comes in a two disc set? like simcity 4 (man I hate that game!!! good fifty bucks down the drain) came in 2 discs that were interchangeble.

    September 19th which is this Friday.

    And the people for the UK that also have a PS2 should know that a demo of Pro Evolution Soccer 3 will also be out on Friday. So if you are in a Game store getting Academy then it could be worth picking up.

    Croesus, those might be spacetroopers. The darktrooper project was destroyed years earlier in the Dark Forces game. If there were any survivors, they would have been used by the Empire at the very latest during Palpatine's return.

    Those are the mechs from Outcast.

    Not sure about your question on multiplayer. I don't quite understand it, but I'll give it a go anyway.

    ***Multiplayer will be exactly the same as Outcast except that the least played modes are now gone and replaced with 2 new modes of play. Power Duel and Siege. The method of getting into servers and setting up games should be pretty much the same as before.

    The Dark Trooper project might've been destroyed but once the research is done it can't be undone... Somewhere floating around out there is a plausible story regarding leftover DT research being put to good use.

    It's like all the Nazi research from WW2... Sure the Nazis didn't make it, but the research did for the most part.

    Not long now folks. :)

    Totally awesome demo tip guys. You know how you can spawn Kyle_boss right? And he rips into you with those sweet brawling moves? Now you can use them on any foe!

    g_DebugMelee 1
    give Weaponnum 14

    hold fire 1&2 for the punch combo
    hold fire 1&2 + forward for the knee/cartoon slam (you'll know why when you see it it's so cool :D )
    hold fire 1&2 + back for the choke hold/throw

    Plus you can just use regular punchs AND kicks (plus flip kicks from MP) using fire 1 & 2 by themselves. Very nice if you don't have the saberstaff or are looking for a challenge. Beating to death a saber weilding reborn makes you feel like a freaking Teras Kasi master. :D

    Enjoy!

    I might just do that.

    Perhaps Byss wasn't completely destroyed? Just effectively devastated/cracked open.

    That, or, as others have sugegsted- the level takes place on a ship or station where Byss was. There was some kind of darkside nexus left where Palpatine died at Endor, perhaps something was left in Byss's wake as well.

    >> And since it's such as major part of the story I can't understand the Del Rey logic in not creating a novel covering Dark Empire straight through to Empire's End.<<

    Because the story has already been told and the major events of the EU happen across multiple mediums ::)

    Is there any news on Jedi Academy coming out on any formats other than XBox and PC?

    And also, does anybody know if Jedi Outcast is any good on the Gamecube?

    Does the "NO BOOTLEG TALK AT ALL!" come out of the thread title tomorrow?

    And also, couldn't I talk about Bootlegs today, as I'd be unbanned tomorrow?

    One player mode is great, but multiplayer mode is limited to only 2 human players, which kinda sucks. Though you can toss in a bunch of bots.

    Why does it come out on the 17th? Games come out on Tuesdays. And Gamespot said it came out today. Best Buy, Circuit City, and Wal*Mart don't have it though.

    Amazon, here I come.
