Editing Movie Duels II

'''''Movie Duels II''''' is version 2 of Movie Duels created by WectorX. The [[mod]] provides a full campaign of famous duels from the prequel trilogy and some "Rise of the Empire" missions, which encompass the time period between episodes III and IV. This [[Single Player|single player]] mod is one of the few saga-based mods ever created for [[JKA]] and is extremely popular.

== Development ==


===Backgound===
In 2008, WectorX finished work on the first Movie Duels. This preliminary release caught the attention of the modding community, many of which had been disappointed by the lack of saga mods, and, most notably, the scam of [[KOTF]]. While the scope of Movie Duels was rather large, Movie Duels II was quite a feat to complete. With over twenty missions to create, WectorX had his work cut out for him. Plasma assisted WectorX with the daunting task of rebuilding the iconic film locations, while many [[modder|modders]] made exclusive models or let WectorX use their content in his mod. WectorX created new [[effects]], [[animations]] (some characters had unique [[saber styles]]), and complete [[cutscene|cinematic events]].
