Star Wars - Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II Live Action Cutscenes Part 1

[@Honsanmai]

As much as I enjoyed Rogue One: It's a damn shame Kyle isn't a part of the expanded universe anymore.

[@maxfrankow1238]

Restposten he’s still out there, just in a different way.

[@REALROCKFM]

This is what bothers me, they could have easily made Kyle a character in Rogue One, if only a minor one.

[@REALROCKFM]

Ryan_ Kyle actually helped get the plans for the first Death Star back in the days of the rebellion according to Legends. For that reason I think he deserved a place in Rogue one. So screw Disney haha! Hell if I wrote Rogue One I’d have Rahm Kota from the Force Unleashed instead of that blind Jedi and Juno Eclipse instead of Jyn Erso.

[@REALROCKFM]

Ryan_ Woah old master Starkiller! Imagine if Starkiller was not only Vader’s apprentice but also one of the imperial inquisitors... Apparently that was going to happen in Rebels but they changed their mind. Probably for the best though. Disney would mess up his character like how they nerfed Thrawn. So much wasted potential. 😔

[@Revengeoftheblacklagoon]

[@johanndemedina]

Damn, I remember I was like 7 years old and I was looking for the existence of a SW Ep7 movie, so my dad found on a market a bootleg dvd, that had all the cinematics from the game and I did believe that was the actual Ep7 with an young Obi Wan return (Who now I know is Kyle Katarn). As a Child I had my own SW lore mixed with the Expanded Universe, damn, the memories...

I like Disney but they clearly don't know how Star wars works and should stick to their animated movies instead

Fun fact for the Briton's among you. Christopher Neame, the actor who played Jerec, also played one of the main characters in one of Britain's most famous TV series of the 70s: Colditz. His role was that of Lieutenant Dick Player, the Royal Navy officer.

This was a great game. There were no Sith, they were referred as Dark Jedi. Also, Kyle Katarn is one who retreived the plans of the first Death Star. Too bad they had to remove him from the movies.

[@evilemperordude]

Yes. Those who fall to the dark side are not automatically Sith. The Sith are a specific order of force-wielders, and there were only two Sith at one time since Darth Bane.

[@vinaymulukutla358]

I've been waiting over two decades to finally start and finish this game. I completed Dark Forces back in 1998 or so and then this came out. I started it but then my computer died and subsequent OS wouldn't run it. I've finally got it to work and now I'm ready........ May The Force Be With Me. May The Force Be With All of Us.

[@darthlucasfuu]

​@@Surv-ew3mq It's called Force Destruction, a dark side ability, used by Sith and dark Jedi, who consist on an Force shield, full of darkside energy, who they can throw against their enemy, as a projectile. In the scene, it seemed to cause a paralyzation on Qu Rahn, maybe was a less powerful version of the power, or maybe Qu Rahn was resilient enough to resist for some extra time.
