A spin-off of Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast, Jedi Academy allows players to create their own Jedi, train in the Academy under the tutelage of Luke Skywalker and Kyle Katarn and ultimately choose to follow the path of the Light Side or the Dark Side of the Force. The game is powered by the same version of the Quake III engine used in its predecessor, Jedi Outcast, containing modifications to the Quake code to give a third-person view and new lightsaber effects (Jedi Knight II had these 3rd person effects as well). Players have the ability to construct their own lightsaber by choosing the hilt style and blade color. After completing certain objectives, new saber styles become available.
Changes From Jedi Outcast to Jedi Academy
- Your character, Jaden, can be male or female and is customizable. For example, you can choose from several lightsaber colors and hilt types as well as from several species:
- Twi'lek female
- Kel Dor male
- Human male or female
- Zabrak female
- Rodian male
- New Force Powers in single player; Force Absorb, Force Protect, Force Drain, and Force Rage (these powers were available in Jedi Outcast's multiplayer game, but not in the single player game.)
- New lightsaber combat moves including katas, wall gripping, and acrobatics.
- Four new weapons: DL-44 Blaster Pistol and Stouker Concussion Rifle, Saberstaff (double bladed lightsaber) and dual sabers. A variety of saber hilts are also available.
- New vehicles and vehicle-based levels, including Tauntauns and speeder bikes.
- Power Duel mode: Players join as an individual or as a team of two. The individual has more health and Force power in exchange for being at a disadvantage in numbers.
- Siege Mode: Players work to complete goals and stop the other team from completing their goals.
- AI NPCs (not just bots, as before) in Multiplayer.
- Decreased limitations on world objects in Multiplayer, enhancing modding possibilities (and making coop play theoretically possible).
- Various bugfixes, gameplay tweaks and subtle changes (especially to the Multiplayer component).
- Enhanced rendering of the Quake III: Team Arena engine, including dynamic glow features.
- Removal of the First Person Lightsaber view that can be found in both Jedi Knight and Jedi Outcast.

Plenty to talk about, so let's get started!
FATHER VS. SON REMAKE
The 2nd level in Luke's Dark Side ending is coming along very well. The most complicated portion has been completed, so all that's left is to fill in the blanks!
More than likely this level is about 50% completed, as the part that mattered the most took a very long time to complete. I'm very proud of the work and I can't wait to show you all more. However, I can't show off anything right now, but I hope in the next report I'll have something cool to show you all.
NEW CHARACTERS
We were able to gather up more characters to bring to Galactic Legacy in the next update! YAY! Here's a list of who they are and where they'll be going. I'll provide a more complete and organized list once Luke's ending is completed.
- General Mohc (Officer Uniform) (Galactic Empire) by Jeff
- Vette (Knights of the Fallen Empire) (Eternal Alliance) ported by Jeff
- Toryn Farr (Rebel Alliance) by Jeff
- Leesub Sirln (Civilians) by Jeff
- Lak Sivrak (Civilians) by Jeff
- Royce Hemlock (Galactic Empire) by SebTheAlchemist
- Tusken King (Civilians) by Jeff
- Sabine Wren (Model Update) (Rebel Alliance) ported by SebTheAlchemist from Galaxy of Heroes
- Garazeb Orrelios (Model Update) (Rebel Alliance) ported by SebTheAlchemist from Galaxy of Heroes
NPC FREE CHOICE SYSTEM
A long requested feature that we've been asked for is the ability to customize an NPC's skin RGB.
So....yeah....we did that.
CONCLUSION, LIFE CHANGES & IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
So there's a bit of an announcement to make with my personal life. I'm moving.
As some of you might know, moving is a hassle, and settling down in a new home can be a fairly lengthy task.
As things stand right now, myself and my fiancee will be moving to a new home on May 31st. Because of this, I have decided to take some time away from the mod and focusing on creating this new home and starting a new chapter.
While I'm not saying that I am stopping all development on the mod on my end until this time is over, this will sadly mean that there will be no Progress Reports for the month of May or the month of June.
During this time, I will continue developing what little I can, but primarily focusing this May on getting everything packed up, and then spending June to unpack and create a new home.
Our next Progress Report will be in July, hopefully will more exciting news to share!
We'll of course continue to post new previews for new things as they come along, so please don't consider this page or this mod as dead, we're still very much alive!
As always, thank you all for following the development of Star Wars: Galactic Legacy, and may the Force be with you.

Is there a possibility of bringing the force ghosts of Anakin, Obi Wan and Yoda (transparent)??
Do I get Jedi Academy through Steam or somewhere else
Happy 20th anniversary everyone.
hai
A friend and I figured out how to get Jedi Knight Academy online on PS4 using some modified files. Not only does this work on modded and unmodded systems, but it allows crossplay with the Nintendo Switch! XLink Kai not required!

Note: I was the tester, not the developer. Both PSN activated and offline profiles work on PS4.
Is there a mod that adds Jocasta Nu? I've looked in the Movie Duels remastered mod but don't see her there.
I love the mods that's become Imaginary that just Flop on their butthole.
that is kid friendly?
