Plot details

[eezstreet]

Now while I think it's extremely unrealistic that this mod moves beyond Phase 1, I suppose it wouldn't hurt to drop a few hints about the plot:

• The game takes place between Episodes 3 and 4, and before the events of Rogue One.
• Similar to games like Fallout: New Vegas, there is an emphasis on dialogue between factions. These include the Empire, Jedi, Resistance, and Black Sun. I think you will find that it is hard to say that any one of them are "the best" or "the most likeable" when you actually meet them.
• The Empire, after Order 66, has successfully wrested control of the Galaxy. Like the original inspiration of the Empire, they are somewhat fascist but some sympathizers argue that they keep the Galaxy in control.
• The Jedi mostly live in hiding. They are nothing but rumors and are believed to be extinct. To be one of them requires being in constant hiding.
• The Resistance (not to be confused with the Resistance in Ep7) seek to take down the Empire, no matter the cost. They have no unified message and are not in absolute rebellion yet. Different sects of the Empire Resistance believe in different things. Some seek total anarchy, some seek for planets to maintain their own control, while others just want things to go back to "the way things used to be."
• The Black Sun are a largely criminal order that just wants to make a profit. The Black Sun serves one entity: The Black Sun. They don't actively seek out conflict with the governing Empire, they just happen to encounter it.
• As a once-peaceful citizen of the Galaxy, you are dragged into a tangled web of conspiracy between these four factions when something happens in your passenger spacecraft.
• Some characters make a return in major roles (Kyle Katarn, Reelo Baruk, Greedo, Moff Tarkin, Jan Ors, Mon Mothma) and there are some cameos too (Chewbacca, Han Solo, Darth Vader)

Canonicity

• JKG has its own level of canon. Not all of Legends is JKG canon, and not all of the Disney canon is JKG canon.
• JKG has multiple endings, and some of these endings can directly contradict events in other games and media
• Episodes 1-7, KOTOR and Republic Commando are canon regardless of which ending you take.
• Rogue One may or may not be canon, depending on which ending you take.
• Dark Forces, DF2, JK2, etc may or may not be canon, depending on which ending you take. The Rogue One ending and the Dark Forces ending aren't the same one.

 

Updates:

• April 7th: Information on Rogue One added

Rebels is ignored because it directly contradicts things that happen in JKG's story.

Also *cough* because it *cough* sucks.

 

I would like to also point out that due to the nature of wanting to aim for a "MMO-like" game, you play as a normal average day citizen of the galaxy and you are what you make yourself to be.

I wouldn't know as I have never seen it.
