Young Jaden travels to start his training at the Jedi Academy on Yavin IV. The creator of this school is the famous Luke Skywalker, who cooperates with other Jedi to train young Padawans.

Gameplay
Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy is a fast-paced action set in famous places from the Star Wars series. During your adventure, you will travel through various locations like gigantic facilities, snow-covered wastelands, or deserts. The course will depend on the chosen quest, as in this game, players can partially decide on the path of their adventure.
Choose your race, gender, and appearance to create your ultimate Jedi hero. Construct your lightsaber (with single or double blades) and decide on the direction of your skill development. As a student of the Academy, you can progress on the light, dark, or neutral side of the force. You can also mix them as you like to create the dream skill combination. They will prove extremely valuable in combat and solving various puzzles, which can often turn quite challenging while unraveling the following plot chapters.
The gameplay core is spectacular combat with effective weapons like lightsabers, blasters, thermal detonators, or Wookie Bowcaster. Although players are Jedi Knights, they can use whatever weapons they desire. But lightsaber combat is still the most spectacular feature, providing an adrenaline-fueled experience. Each battle perfectly reflects the vibe of the classic fights from the movie series, allowing you to use both weapons and power simultaneously. An equally valuable segment of this title is the captivating story, which keeps in suspense until the last scene of the game. And in addition to the single-player campaign, Star Wars Jedi Academy encourages memorable fun with other players in six multiplayer modes.
