Chronicles Total Conversion or Star Wars Chronicles was a Single Player modification for Jedi Academy recreating the events of Star Wars films, from Episode I to VI. However only the first mission was ever released.

Plot

The mod begins with the arrival of the Republic ambassadors at the Trade Federation ship near the planet of Naboo. The scenes show exactly, what is demonstrated in Episode I, The Phantom Menace, when the two Jedi, Qui Gon Jinn and Obi Wan Kenobi are greeted by TC-14 and are invited to the conference room to meet the Viceroy. The Neimodian never shows up, Jedi Consular-class space cruiser Radiant VII is destroyed, and the Jedi are attacked by the battle droids, while the room is filling with poisoning gas. The two make their way through the corridors of the ship, fighting multiple battle droids until they are stuck near the commanding deck and have to escape from the droidekas.

Being chased by the enemies, Qui Gon and Obi Wan hide in the ventilation shaft and decided to split and use separate ships to land on Naboo together with the Trade Federation occupation forces.

Features

The mod is similar in its nature to many other projects, devoted to recreating the films, but is centered around Single Player features. In the first mission you play as young Obi Wan Kenobi and are often accompanied by Qui Gon Jinn. The developers made it so, that the Jedi Master NPC would follow the Player at all times, even if the one used a complicated route to get to the next objective or used the elevator to go to a different level.

One of the novices of the mod is the introduction of completely new animations, which include lightsaber stances, as well as simple acrobatics (like jumping). These were also made to look more like the movements in The Phantom Menace.

The map itself is quite linear and has some minor design flaws, but overall uses completely new textures, which are close to Episode I interior design.

Notably the droids use E-5 Blaster rifle instead of BlasTech E-11 blaster rifle, which is a default weapon for many enemies in JO/JA series and most modders rarely replace the weapon to coincide with the original story in aspect of weapons.

Old Battle Droids model for JO was used in this mod.
