let's see: modability, the combat system, the character creation ability, the graphics that still look well despite the game's age... and thanks to mods - rgb sabers

So I watched @@big moist 's videos of Jedi Parkour and it got me wondering: the game does have all the right animations and options to make parkour possible. So, has anyone ever made a Parkour mod for JKO or JKA? If not, how about making one? It should be a fun little mod that, maybe, could even be turned into a bigger mod. All that's really needed is to tweak the animations and maybe add some scripts. A person with the right knowledge could do it no-prob. Yeah, I miss those non-SW mods like Doctor Who and Stargate total conversions, even those non-vanilla mods and modes like Swoop Racing, Hydroball, etc.

Note: Ok, I know that many people dislike and even hate TFU, but in this topic, I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ABOUT IT. Stay on subject, will you's? Ok, so the game starts with Vader going to Kashyyyk to take out Kento Marek - a Jedi survivor of Order 66. He makes his way to Kento's hut, fights, and kills him. He's surprised to find out that Kento has a little son, but instead of killing the boy, he takes him away, and trains him as his secret apprentice. Here, we're led to believe that it may have been due to Vader's paternal feelings (after all, he knew he was supposed to become a father back before he turned to the Dark Side, and then the Emperor told him that both Padme and their unborn child were dead; he didn't know that his child(ren) survived). Vader doesn't want the Emperor finding out about the boy, so he kills his troops on Kashyyyk right before they could kill him (Galen). Later, we learn that he took the boy because he saw the great potential, and thus hatched up a(nother) way to kill the Emperor, his master - Vader being THE Sith apprentice, it was his ultimate goal, as per Sith teachings, after all - but we're again led to believe that paternal feelings played some part, because they were supposed to kill the Emperor together, not to mention that despite the brutal traning methods, he never otherwise mistreated Galen. So, time went on, young Galen grew up, and grew in power, and Vader finally sends him on missions to find and kill other surviving Jedi, but also, to train him against Force-wielding opponents. He orders Galen to kill any Imperials he might run into during his missions so as to avoid tipping off the Emperor of their plan. Three missions later, the Emperor's spies manage to somehow track Galen to Vader's flagship (despite Galen killing all witnesses during his missions, having a fast ship with a ton of cloaking devices, and an ace pilot, to boot - I know there are different kids of spy tactics, and that the Emperor doesn't really fully trust Vader, but it's still kinda suspicious, isn't it?), and the Lord of his Mightiness himself shows up to confront Vader over the matter. He orders Vader to kill Galen lest he wanted to die alongside the boy for betrayal, and Vader complies, throwing Galen against walls, and finally, out the window and into space, to his effective death. Later we're shown that Galen's body is recovered and that he's brought back to life (are we sure he wasn't cloned all the way back then, and that the whole cloning subplot in TFU2 wasn't just a hoax?). Vader informs Galen that it was a diversion to calm the Emperor (and get his mind off the intended punishment), orders him to get together a Rebellion, and lets him loose, also saying that they'll have to reduce contacts to a minimum so as to avoid suspicion from the would-be rebels and the Emperor himself, as Vader'll be watched closely. So, Galen goes around the Galaxy, getting the potential rebels together and attacking Imperial targets. Finally, the Rebel Alliance meets up to be officially formed, but it turns out to be a trap by Vader (and the Emperor), who planned on capturing the major Imperial dissidents red-handed all along. He reveals that he lied to Galen from the very beginning (which beginning exactly?), and that he does plan to take out the Emperor, just not with him (what a blow for poor Galen, he immidiatelly lost both his master and his father-figure). The rebels are taken away, whereas Galen falls off a cliff and is (at least supposedly) assumed dead by Vader. Finally, Galen goes to save the rebels, fights and defeats Vader, then the Emperor, and sacrifices himself (Light Side, canon ending) to let the rebels escape. In the end, the Emperor scolds Vader for losing control of the situation, and creating the Rebel Alliance that they'll now have to deal with. So what I want to know is, if it was Vader's plan from the beginning - to train Galen and use him to help the Empire and maybe kill the Emperor - when was the Emperor let in on the plan? Did he initially plan to take out the Emperor with Galen's help, but at some point, got a change of heart? Why? If it was Vader's plan, and the boy indeed came as a surprise (but a welcome one - at least, initially), when, and more importantly - why did he decide to inform the Emperor of this plan, and betray Galen - when he could have indeed used him to, at the very least, cripple the Emperor before killing him, and thus, to become the Dark Lord of the Sith? Alternatively, if it was the Emperor's plan to begin with, did he know about Kento's son, that Vader would spare out of paternal feelings, and would train as an agent to despose of dissidents, using the Sith teachings as a reason to motivate the boy until finally betraying him, and arresting the would-be rebels? Discuss.

Nice! I liked the second one (urban jedi) better. The interesting thing is that the JK games have Parkour potential, but they need to be tweaked and fine tuned to be turned into actual Parkour games. This would actually make a fine mod.

what, the embeded videos? open on the youtube site, they work there

Well, it'll probably be either a survival-horror/ stealth-action game (since you're a surviving Jedi during Order 66, and a trainee at that), or some kind of third person shooter in the style of the remade Shadow Warrior (minus the cheezy humor). It definitely won't be a JK remake, although it'd have made the most sense - you start with a few weak Force powers and a lightsaber, but since you don't have a master to teach you, all you can do is slowly develop these, and learn to use blasters and such. You'll probably have to pretend to be a mercenary, maybe steal holocrons in some levels, so as to learn new powers. If we're lucky, it'll have a couple of dogfighting levels. Maybe it'll also have different endings, depending on the player's choice - join the Inquisitors (if they'll be featured), remain a Jedi (two more potential endings), or abandon the Force entirely (though this is highly unlikely, since they're probably making an action game, and not an rpg). Alternatively, the 'joining the Inquisitors' bit might be part of the actual plot, which would give additional meaning to the title. I also think it may feature some kind of character creation (at least, at this point, it's safe to assume that it will). I also have to agree with some of the previous comments, and there is a big chance it'll be a game about young Kanan, set before Rebels. A small off-topic: Did anyone ever hear of Respawn Entertainment? What games d'they make? Edit: CoD4 and Titanfall 1 and 2. From what I remember, CoD4 was kinda fun. Don't know about Titanfall, never played it. I wonder though, if the Titanfall games are first person only, then does that mean we'll have first person lightsaber combat in SW: Fallen Order?

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Anyway, welcome! You probably know the forum has a tutorials section, so if you wanna be a modder, the site has you covered

agreed

Will sit this one out because I never paid much attention to soundtracks. Sure, they're iconic, and they do their job of transmitting the stuff on-screen, but I just don't care enough to memorize them. Otherwise, I suppose the original OT soundtracks (especially Anh and Esb, and indeed the Luke vs Vader duel and the final celebration in RotJ) were great. Tpm's 'Duel of fates' (or whatever it was called), as well as maybe RotS music for when Anakin and Obi-Wan duel on Mustafar, and Operation Knightfall before that (though this one felt a bit forced, I think) too. But I really can't choose. The rest I just didn't memorize. Guess, I'll have to get my hands on all them soundtracks and get an opinion.

Ugh! Always hated this part, mostly because the game had wonky skyboxes and i could see neither the Star Destroyer, nor the Tie-Fighters, until the latter were right in front of the platform. Kota yelling 'rip it out of the sky!!1' didn't help either because the game was kinda FU on how to do this. But overal, i did like TFU better than the sequel.

Possibly, but i'm just tired of all these lego cartoons nowadays

absolutely! screw the lego cartoons!

that 'rancor' is something else, but looks good either way

Strange. I could have sworn i saw a bomberman platformer shooter.Oh well, moving on.

Wasn't bomberman a platformer-shooter also?

So, it's battletoads meets bomberman?

Care to release all these Starkiller models? Also, you never did release that Revan, at least, i don't think you did :|

Funny that you talk of cash magnets - just yesterday, i read that the movie isn't doing as well as expected in the box office department.Not sure about Mila, i mean i respect her because we're almost co-nationals, but i really don't think she could have pulled it off (nor do i like half the movies she acts in, but that's beside the point) I agree with you that most of these disney action movies, be they marvel, or lucasfilm, or otherwise, are pretty much the same, just in different wrappings, but i suppose that since they're at least entertaining, we can, in theory let it slide. At least they're better than contemporary russian action movies (trust me on that). As for Maul, can you believe that some fans actually think it was he who trained Qi'ra the Teras Kasi? And that he's gonna make her his apprentice? That's just such a load of dung, i can't believe people actually believe it! Worst thing is that lucasfilms (or whoever's responsible) will probably make it so just to grab onto the cash. Yes, i was glad to see Maul too, but once i saw the movie itself, i was kinda left wondering.

Holy! Now this is great!Alden looks more like Po to me

Just watched the movie. I must admit, I was not disappointed, not even with the leads, despite me complaining about them all the time. Now, if only they had the right faces...

Tarkin? Dude, Tarkin was just terrible! Leia worked because she remained mostly still, but Tarkin not only looked fake as shit, he also looked really evil. They also did the whole revisionist thing - in ANH he was a calculating and cold character, a proficient professional, if you will; in Rogue One, he was turned into an actually evil, sadistic bastard. Nowadays everything is CG for some reason, but it usually looks really fake (cartoony), the actors don't feel their environment and can't act in it (maybe they're really not very good actors then?) but the movie production costs actually turn out higher than they were with practical effects. And this is a problem not just with Star Wars, most contemporary fantasy/ sci-fi/ monster movies have this issue - too much CG, not enough practicals. Only thing I did like about TFA (maybe TLJ too) was that they used a lot of practical effects. But anyway, if people say Alden did a good job, I'll go along with it, at least, until I watch the movie and make my own opinion

Tis such a joke on disney's/ lucasarts' part to cast actors who look nothing like the originals though I mean, sure, they would never look exactly like the originals, but at least cast someone who resembles the original actors at least a bit! This isn't the opera, it's the movies, people's appearance matters!

Then it's official - the spin-offs ARE better than the new trilogy!
