You know, I actually enjoy single player. The first time I played it I thought the story was horrible, but it kind of grows on you. The level designs and the lightsaber action make it worthwhile. And it's easier to play than Jedi Outcast. I think you made the right choice to try it.
Some of the levels are really memorable, like Hoth, Tatooine, and the tram hijack one (Coruscant?). And they've even thrown in some Dune inspired ideas (that level will drive you crazy)!
