    The atmosphere and aesthetics of this map is sublime. The chill music, the dark skybox with speeders and skyscrapers, the mood lighting and craftsmanship just put this map on that next level that just makes it a masterpiece. Amazing job.
    I was surprised that the levelshot image was so small which ends up looking very pixelated when loading it up in MP, and lack of bot routes makes it less convenient to use on a public server, but the map is so good I can't even knock off a star for those things.

    EternalJK was great but this is even better. I love the new Anti-Aliasing feature!

    I love the vibe of this map. Very unique and that skybox is awesome. I do think that it makes more sense as an FFA map rather than a duel map but that's not to say it can't be used for Duel. I appreciate there are two duel rooms and spots for people to sit and observe which will be great for FFA servers. Nice work.

    You never disappoint with your maps Art, but you've also come such a long way as a mapper. This might be my favorite one you've released so far. The lighting is *chef's kiss* but the precision and overall architectural design is so unique and yet still fits in Star Wars extremely well. I could see this being a room in Cloud City or Theed Palace or something like that. Excellent job! 😃

    This map is so clean looking, from a design perspective, which I always love to see. It's simple, yet elegant. It looks like it could have been one of the vanilla maps included with the game, but maybe even better. Nice work!

    Making something inspired by the game's existing story or assets is something I wish more people did. This is very clever and well done. I love that you made it open to the outside and have a skybox with the speeders flying overhead. That alone give this map so much more character than it just being the droid factory itself. However the factory is very impressive as well, with the droids moving long the belts. Very cool. Not all that practical for a duel map in a competitive setting, but it would definitely be a fun one to try out!

    At first glance this may look extremely simple, until you start to look closer at the details. The observation deck that is notched into the wall is so cool that I really wish it was easier to go up there. Currently you have to do the jump+crouch to squeeze in. For FFA servers, having that for people to just chill in while others duel or FFA in the center could make this a 5/5 map for sure.
    Also, I love the little ysalamiri easter egg you threw in there. Amazing. 😂

    This is a beautiful map, and I know you label it as "experimental" but there are some simple things to make it more playable. Currently jumping off the edge into the water does not kill you, so you get stuck down there. Adding a trigger to kill when hitting the water would probably be better. Especially since the water isn't actually water under the shader. After some troubleshooting by myself, chloe, and tayst, this was a combination of the wrong spawnflags being used but also only affected TaystJK/EternalJK/jaPRO due to the spawnflag number that was used is reserved for something in japro. She said she will fix this ASAP.
    There's some clipping in the rocks on the ground, which for playability is better than having it nearly as bumpy as it would be with those clip brushed, but it might be best to clip brush those areas slightly, have them sloped just enough so you are standing above rather than inside.
    I was also surprised there were no ambient sounds. The music is great but some ocean sounds and wind would make it go a long way to feeling complete.
    Overall a great start! I look forward to seeing you polish it up over time!

    I love the simplicity of this map. Definitely gives me KOTOR vibes, nice job there. I will say that it is extremely dark when playing at r_gamma 1. I had to raise my gamma up to see anything, but still great map besides that.

    The blue looks a bit too saturated compared to the reference, but still good job.

    This is really well done! Makes me miss the days when most skins we'd get were just reskins of the base models and people had to get creative to make them unique. This is some top notch skinning. I love the unique lekku designs and the outfits that make her look like a completely different character.  Nice work!

    Holy smokes, this is excellent. You guys are killing it with these models as per usual. We've been needing a good Han model for JKA for so long that wasn't a kitbash of ported parts. A side by side comparison with the old JK2 model will show how far this community and 3D modeling have come! Nice work.

    The work on rend2 is coming along really nicely, and it is amazing to see the progress on a familiar map. Can't wait to see more rend2 projects in the future. Well done!

    This is a wonderful addition to any multiplayer Jedi Academy server! No client-side downloads needed, just add to your server's base folder and enjoy! 
    I noticed some choppy movement in certain outside areas, but otherwise, this is just the kind of map we need to have more of! 5/5 stars, looking forward to more updates and maps like this 😄

    I really enjoyed this map and oh boy did the snowmen kick my ass. In case you're wondering, this map works better in MP since the snowman MD3 model doesn't load in singleplayer. 
    The fact that this map is located in Naboo was a really nice detail, since its a great planet that's often forgotten. The idea behind the map is also great and not something seen too often. 
    There are some suggestions I had in case this map ever gets an update. The snowmen fight was really funny, but it'd been interesting if the last snowman had a slightly different skin, he felt like a boss fight but didn't look like one. Also, the music can be quite repetitive after getting killed for the 10th time, maybe as you progress the tracks could change to match the intensity of the fight.
    Overall, this is a great mod. Try it if you want a true challenge.

    wow really nice Christmas map. I made the mistake of angering the snow man

    This is epic! One of those well-polished maps created by people that care about detail and immersion. Such a unique setting, too. I wouldn't want my galactic news delivered from anywhere else!
    The reception area is such a nice touch! Well done.
