MovieBattles II is a fast-paced, action packed mod for the award winning Jedi Knight Jedi Academy game, that lets players play and fight in the most iconic battles seen throughout the entire saga!

Battle on some of the most iconic Star Wars planets and locations such as Naboo, Mustafar, Kamino, Tatooine, Death Star, Jedi Temple, Tantive IV, Cloud City, Jabba's Palace and more!

 

Will you fight for the liberation of the Naboo or will you subjugate them as Darth Maul?

Will you storm the Jedi Temple and kill all the Jedi or will you defend it?

Will you escape the Death Star or will you stop those pesky Rebels from getting away?

 

Take the lead role in a game that puts you in the middle of the action of the most memorable battles spanning the entire Star Wars feature films and beyond.

The Movie Battles II team is always on the lookout for talented community members to help out. If you are interested in helping please take a look at the roles listed below and create a thread here (or here for beta testers) stating a little bit about yourself, where you are from, how old you are, what position you may be interested in applying for and what you feel you could contribute to the development of this mod. There are no limits on the number of spots available and in some cases technical ability is less important than having a willingness to learn. You may be asked to provide a sample of work as part of your application.

As a development team working in a distributed environment communication is very important, as such for all roles we require team members to be able to communicate effectively in English.
