Agreed that it does not fit Obi-wan's established character very well for him to turn Dark Side. If Obi-wan can turn, anyone can. On the other hand, you could probably do a really dark (non-canon) story around that: the idea that anyone can be corrupted (much like the whole Harvey Dent plot in The Dark Knight). But I don't know if that kind of a story would fit the Star Wars Universe, and in any case I wouldn't trust some game company to pull it off. And it just comes off as kind of wanky, and a rehashing of old stories with a new face. You know, someone should tell these guys that not every Jedi has to turn to the Dark Side at some point. :roll:

I'm just going to say, they better not fuck up Obi-wan. He remains one of my favorite Star Wars characters, right after Luke Skywalker.

Continuity, shmontinuity! But let's not forget in the EU, Luke and just about everyone he ever taught went Dark Side at least for a stint.

I wish they'd just give us another "Jedi Knight" game where you play a full on Dark Sider,
already.

The closest we ever got was "Force Unleashed" which I can't play because I didn't
fork over for the latest console... :(
fun/fantasy movies existed before the overrated Star Wars came out. What made it seem 'less dark' was the sheer goofy aspect of it: two robots modeled on Laurel & Hardy, and a smartass outlaw with bigfoot co-pilot and their hotrod pizza-shaped ship, and they were sucked aboard a giant Disco Ball. -adw1
Someone asked me yesterday if Dracula met Saruman and there was a fight, who would win. I just looked at this man. What an idiotic thing to say. I mean really, it was half-witted. - Christopher Lee
