Hogwarts vs Jedi Temple

[Eleas]

It happens, and it's irritating. He's still the one to take down a guy Luke can't tangle with. He may have some witty things to say, but that doesn't IMO amount to character. And I loved Jedi Outcast, but let's face it - Kyle is just a stock action hero.

He comes off better in Jedi Knight.

Jedi Knight? Let's see what Kyle is there.

No personality... check.
Standard übertwinkie turned jedi... check.
Atrocious actor... check. That has nothing to do with the character, but irritating anyway, and naturally it spills over.
The most clichéd motivation for a hero in a long while... check.
A trusty sidekick... check.
Attempts at witticisms and banter which inevitably come off as lame and/or corny... check.

I think that's about it, yeah. I consider Jedi Knight to be a nice enough arcade game. Shame they tried to slap a story on it, though. Worse still, that they called it Star Wars. It could just as well have been called Quake II, what with the amount of character development we saw.

In my opinion, Dark Forces was good. Jedi Outcast was decent enough. Mysteries of the Sith butchered Mara, but had some good points. But Jedi Knight? Corny, lame, horrid acting and sucky saber fighting. If I still had the CD I'd watch the plastic run in my fireplace.

Which series was it that contradicted The Courtship of Princess Leia?

Also, that does not mean that all children's books are lower on the canon food chain than others. The Galaxy of Fear series is actually apocryphal (which is part of why it is the only SW book series that I do not own). Nothing in there "actually" happened, in terms of chronology. And the YJK and JJK, however much we dislike them, are as much a part of the EU as the WEG games, like it or not.

Found it!!

It's "Prophets of the Dark Side" by Paula Davis and Hollace Davis. it's book six of a six book series, set towards 1-4 grade children.

Hmmm... Interesting. A SW book that I don't have? It's probably apocryphal.
