Hi Josh, I'm not Rob, but I'd like to take this opertunity to announce the status of my own Star wars game. For the most part real serious development of the game has been put on hold while I work on Monty and Raceway, but it doesn't mean I have completely stopped working on it in short burst here and there. I've done allot of reading of late to fill out an interesting story line and I have finally settled on one, and the Jedi is one of the more less known. Her life is really undocumented leaving allot of creative room to fill in stories about her life, and what she may or may not have done. At first I wanted to use a well known character, but after trying to do that in the game I realised far too much is known about those characters. I'd have to side step many pieces of documented history to squeeze the game in. For example initially I was going to do a game on Mara Jade similar to Jedi Knight II Mysteries of the Sith. Problem is according to the book history Mara didn't really begin training until the Jedi Academy series, and didn't join the Jedi order until after the Hand of Thrawn books just prier to the start of the Vong war. Other possible Jedi were eliminated from my game idea for similar inconsistancies in historical context. It seamed to me that I should look at the clone wars or post clone war for answers, and indeed I found one very open ended storyline. Following Revenge of the Sith the book, "Dark Lord the Rise of Darth Vader," tells of several Jedi that escaped order 66 and were skattered throughout the galaxy, and Darth Vader hunted them down and slew them one by one. The ending battle has a sscene where Jedi Master Rone Shrine rescues his Paduwan Learner, Olee Starstone, from Vader, and gets slain in the process while she escapes with Chewy from Kashyyyk. However, I intend to tell her tail following Shrine's death on Kashyyk and the open ended story of what happened to Chewy's family which were taken captive by the empire and inslaved. We don't know what Starstone did following that book. Did she go in to hiding, did she try and attempt help Chewy rescue his family from Vader, did she go out and search for Yoda which she now knows is alive and did not die on Kashyyk, did she try and go after Palpatine and defeat the Empire, what happened? Well, I intend to work on a story about Olee Starstone's life following the battle on Kashyyk. You will start off at Patuwan level and as you play the game you will build skills and force powers. You will fight Imperial Clone commanders, Clone troopers, probe droids, spy droids, and eventually find Darth Vader, and try and destroy him. If you defeat Vader you will go to Coriscant and attempt to bring Emperor Palpatine to justice. Since we assume Olee no longer has a Jedi Master to guide her in her education she could remain a loyal Jedi following the path of light and justice or she let's her anger and sadness consume her. In other words you can chuse to make her a hero or to fall in to the dark side and pickup dark side powers.
