The Dream Star Wars Game You've Never Played

It was only one… should’ve been more

[@Subject-639]

Glad that they did what we've all wanted to do for years.

[@mosesking2923]

The revenge of the sith movie game is EXTREMELY underrated. Excellent animations, combat, and even couch coop along with 6 bonus missions and plenty of combos. They don’t make them like that anymore…

[@codeman90000000]

FRRRR PREACH IT

[@tomahawk44gaming]

They should remaster that one.

[@tonybarnes2920]

Fun fact: that duel mode wasn't remotely in the plan... we were already crunching 14 hour days / 6 days a week on a year schedule. All of the duels and other unlockables were done by myself and a small team (1 animator, 1 character designer, 1/2 environment artist) in our "spare time".

[@jonathanjacobs8989]

@@tonybarnes2920thank you! Me and my friends had so much fun with that. It made the game complete

[@octosalias5785]

At the height of its popularity Jedi Academy's online multiplayer was so much chaotic fun

[@Fields222]

God those are some good memories

[@KoalaTContent]

For those interested, Movie *Battles* is basically the multiplayer version of this. Choose your character, from jedi to clone or droids and mandalorians etc and there's still a solid playerbase

[@watenallace663]

As a player of Jedi academy it's super random but awesome that ign posted this

[@voidofhope6259]

Even weirder bc I’m playing through Academy again

[@osricen]

I've tried this MOD MANY YEARS ago... looking at what it has become is IMPRESSIVE to say the least. This is the definition of a passion project.

[@ACOB]

Most impressive?

[@alljarod]

Jedi Knight Jedi Academy was my favorite childhood game alongside AOE. Will definitely be checking this mod out.

[@codeman90000000]

Still my favorite today whatcha mean lol

@@boogie5 what’s aoe stand for??

[@DigitalRenegad3]

I liked the game when I was younger but that combat system is super janky

[@DaVibeCreator]

I'm not sure if I'm more excited about playing as Darth Vader or creating chaotic battles with random NPCs. Either way, this mod is pure chaos in the best possible way.

[@StylishCreature]

The best light saber combat ever created

[@simongravel7407]

Movie Duels 2 has recently become my favorite mod for Jedi Academy!

[@bardy18]

Jedi Academy has one of the best Mod Community ever, love this game since release back in 2003

[@willwunsche6940]

The fact you can lose the lightsabers on the ground or jump back up from the shaft like the movie is crazy

The Jedi Knight series keeps on giving. Kyle Katarn and the Jedi Knight series was my all time favourite game growing up and Movie Duels is A masterpiece can't thank the developer enough go play it and revisit all the best moments of Star Wars! 😎👌

[@ChrisBeenRaw]

This mod is a lot of fun due to the saber combat and dismemberment. Adding that to being able to play almost every Star Wars mission it’s hilarious.

[@dk9024]

So interesting to see this game still going, I remember playing it back in high school like 20+ years ago.

[@_n8thagr8_63]

Star Wars games have been a mixed bag, but none of them come close to the total experience of the Kotor duology.

[@JohnnyGobs]

This mod is excellent however gets old after awhile if you want some real endless fun play Movie battles 2 it’s basically the multiplayer version of duels

[@CHEATMASTER2007]

Great video! Now do one on Movie Battles 2! It's not just one of the best MP mods, but one of the best MP games I've ever played!

[@bkzach]

We all know Jar Jar is the real Sith lord as evidenced by Palp getting merced by 5 kids one of which wasn't even involved.

[@BBC019]

This was a really well done review nice work 👍

[@willwunsche6940]

Love this didn't know about it! You guys should cover Star Wars Galactic Contention too. That mod is phenomenal fps basically a whole game but admittedly more hardcore and sim like as it's based off of Squad with 100 player online battles. Unfortunately it's offline right now though but should be back soon eventually

[@VoiceOfManyOfficial]

Love this mod so much, also Movie Duels announced a multiplayer option coming later as well! Great review IGN!

[@Adrydabear]

This is such an old mod now and now they got around to do this.

[@quanmane6702]

So happy to see this mod get a showcase been playing it for years

[@cup.of.joe3358]

Been playing Movie Duels for years now. I’m happy to see it get recognized!

[@cybergothika6906]

I played a dream Star Wars game IGN It was called Knights of the Old Republic 2: Sith Lords

[@gmenezesdea]

I played the hell out of the whole Dark Forces/Jedi Knight series as a kid but I guess I was too old when Movie Battles was released. (I do remember a mod called Knights of the Force, which had a similar premise but I don't think it was ever finished). I really feel an urge to install the game just to check it out. Crazy to think this game is so popular after 20 years.

[@pokemaster2185]

The lead-in to the Ben and Maul fight had a ridiculous amount of the two standing around just staring at each other.

[@Blessed_Souls]

the backflips you can do has more dynamic animation than what we get these days lol

Thank you for shedding light on this amazing mod for this amazing game! Still my favorite SW game of all time, and due to it's small size it's always installed on any PC i have, including my steam deck♥

[@veryyes1919]

Finally IGN putting out decent journalism.

[@OfficialRaveBlitz]

Movie Duels is possibly one of the best mods for Jedi Academy!

[@oneloveal]

It took you awhile to get here IGN but you got here! Welcome!!

[@YouTubeHandleEtc.]

It would be funny if on the Obi-Wan vs Maul Tatooine fight and choose to play Obi-Wan that Maul only gets 1 HP

[@kurbisfurst5194]

Well this is what sadly has to happen. Fans take an old game and mod it to oblivion, just to have a game they want, but will never ever be published by the copyright holder. You know fun, doesn't make as much money as microtransactions.

[@GTheoryTV]

Go get it quick!!! There's no way Disney won't take this down at some point.

[@olympian3]

That’s why I’m worried about ign covering it

[@nicholasdelaney1407]

The fact that IGN of all people are talking about this is kinda cool! 😂

[@SilentAssassin01234]

Just play Movie Battles 2 instead, one of the best MP experiences out there

[@ISimpForVisas2471]

the toxic dumpster fire thats full of manchildren and tryhards? How about no

[@Ayahuasca98]

Duels single player is peak

[@pizer7]

The multiplayer experience that Movie Battles 2 provides is unparalleled in Star Wars games. Its a similar free to play modification for Jedi Academy like Movie Duels, with multiple game modes, most notably a pvp duel mode, open mode - a CS2/Valorant type game mode, where you're able to play various gunner classes (or a saberist) and try to defeat the opposite team by completing the map objective or killing them, and a legends mode which is similar to open mode but much more chaotically crazy and fun! The Movie Battles 2 and Movie Duels developers are also friends and regularly help each other out so be sure to go and try out and support both modifications!

[@Yun_Abraxas]

Nah, I'll stick with Movie Duels thank you. I'm more of a singleplayer guy.

[@Hkgiu]

The sequal of Knights of the Force is very similar to this, trying to put every movie, game, book, and infinities in one place. It's crazy fun

[@n1nj4HUN]

Mb2 desperately needs new blood. It’s so much fun though. Still don’t forgive them for changing dotf so much I still miss the catwalk

[@Totalledcrashes]

Played it as a kid,it was freakin awesome,I spawned Jedi vs Sith and watched them fight.The Yodas always won,surprise surprise :DDD

[@BrianNeverDie]

WHAT ABOUT MOVIEBATTLES 2 MOD FOR THE SAME GAME JUST LIKE THIS BUT ONLINE! VS

[@TemplarLux]

If this mod merged with Galactic Legacy it would be the second best Star Wars game imo. Right behind SWTOR.

[@CruciallyUltrawide]

I prefer Movie Battles 2's combat system over this though, saying that this combat definitely follows the original games' combat system more closely, but Movie Battles 2 features heavy emphasis on being able to block at the right time as you point your crosshair in the direction of the incoming attack etc. Highly recommend looking at Movie Battles 2 for its lightsaber combat and different movie-based maps that have their own unique objectives for both teams.

[@Delta2357]

Fine, I'll play movie duels for the thousandth time

[@spideyman23]

This has been a thing for years, but glad that IGN finally got around to it.
