Jedi Academy’s lightsaber combat wasn’t born overnight much of what it does right comes from its predecessor. Related: How Jedi Fallen Order 2 Can Introduce Darth Revan
Jedi Academy is another single-player action adventure game, but this time with a new protagonist: Jaden Korr, a Jedi Padawan under the tutelage of both Kyle and Luke Skywalker at Luke's Jedi Academy on Yavin IV. The first three games centered around Force-sensitive Rebel mercenary Kyle Katarn and his conflicted feelings about the Force and the Jedi. Released in 2003, Jedi Academy is the fourth game in the Dark Forces franchise, directly following Star Wars Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast. Many Star Wars video games feature playable Jedi, but Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy is the one that truly got lightsaber combat right, letting players live out those wishes through their screens. Ever since Ben Kenobi faced off against Darth Vader in A New Hope in 1977, Star Wars fans have longed to wield a lightsaber in battle and learn the ways of the Force.
