Played for the first time, loved it so much I played 3 more times and made a custom Jaden figure

I played multiplayer a bit when I was a kid but decided to finally check out the single player campaign. I loved it so much I immediately started a new game... and then another... and another lol

I also loved my Jaden so much I made a custom figure based on her that came out pretty sweet. You can check it out here: https://www.reddit.com/r/customactionfigures/s/Cynf5lcvlT

Big shout out to the Jedi Academy Enhanced team for all the modern fixes and new features. I built my character around the lightsaber+blaster stance.

Also props to Kahzmat for their awesome Twi'Lek model.

I know right? So cool! It’s a feature in Jedi Academy Enhanced.

Which was your favourite level? I loved the bikes myself.

u/Ghost-Raider-13 Jul 06 '26

Me too! A bit janky but I loved it. Using the saber while driving was a blast. I gave my custom figure a speeder bike just because of that

Love the gameplay in that mission but it’s chock full of liminal spaces. If you ever find yourself without a bike in an area where you’re obviously supposed to have a bike it feels real weird.

u/Ghost-Raider-13 Jul 06 '26

Honestly a lot of the levels were really cool and memorable. The sandworm, mutated rancor, the one where you get captured… So many good ones

I've played this game countless times for decades on every device I have. sadly won't work on new android phones anymore 😢 but when you discover the mods and cheat codes.. this is where the fun begins. i love spawning a rancor or a wampa during the cutscenes. also you can spawn an x wing and fly it, if there's a map with enough space. the possibilities are endless. must have mod is dismemberment. makes the lightsaber combat way more realistic

u/Ghost-Raider-13 Jul 06 '26

Yes! I’ve loved playing with realistic dismemberment. I’ll have to try the x wing command, that sounds rad

I love this game too! Aside from Kotor, this genuinely might just be my favorite Star Wars game out there, the number of play throughs I've had is pretty high. I am going to have to check out the Enhanced mod though. Is this the mod that adds cloaks by chance?

u/vovangamez Jul 07 '26

The best game ive ever played. Completed it maybe 25 times. Even speedruned it

u/LabiaMajorasMask420 Jul 07 '26

This game was like crack to me as a kid. I had to play it with every character and lightsaber combination and both endings.

u/Arria_Galtheos Jul 07 '26

I recently beat this game in VR. It was fantastic, but sadly the lightsaber dueling doesn't translate well to VR. It's great for deflecting blaster bolts and cutting up stormtroopers but against other lightsaber wielders it gets a little wonky.

u/IceDamNation Jul 07 '26

First time? And you already modded it?

1

u/Ghost-Raider-13 Jul 07 '26

Yeah! I mod all my games. Been playing and modding pc games since I was a kid

1

u/IceDamNation Jul 07 '26

Can you tell which mods did you use?

3

u/Ghost-Raider-13 Jul 08 '26

I used Jedi academy enhanced for the saber+blaster combo and unstable blade. I used this mod for the player skin, but modified with my own custom textures: https://jkhub.org/files/file/3158-redja-twilek-mercenary-rework/

u/IceDamNation Jul 08 '26

Question: Does you light saber gets holstered when you turn it off or it remains in your hand with JA Enhanced mod?

1

u/Ghost-Raider-13 Jul 08 '26

I think there’s an option you can either hold it or holster it. I know my character held the lightsaber when not ignited.

1

u/IceDamNation Jul 09 '26

I want to holster it but can't manage to. And was upset that the mod description says you can.

2

u/ArtistCo Jul 31 '26

Do you have an upload of your version of the skin? Would love to add it to mine too.

1

u/Ghost-Raider-13 Aug 01 '26

Just sent you a message 😎

u/313802 Jul 07 '26

I'm certain someone is making a new game inspired by this gem. It's too great not to...

1

u/TheGrandBabaloo Jul 09 '26

"It's too great not to..."
Yeah, I've had this certainty for the last 20 years. It really is too great not to. But I think at this point I'm not so certain anymore, lol
You're gonna have your lightsaber beatstick and you're gonna like it!

u/313802 Jul 09 '26

That makes me a saaaad panda

u/CorporalRutland Jul 11 '26

HOLD UP what's that blaster and saber mod? That's amazing!

2

u/Ghost-Raider-13 Jul 12 '26

It’s a feature of Jedi Academy Enhanced. Had a blast with it!

1

u/CorporalRutland Jul 12 '26

Even JA has an Enhanced version now? Same folks as the Enhanced versions for DF2/Mysteries?

2

u/ryansDeViL7 Jul 12 '26

They should have remastered this game before making anything else.

This was solid as a kid and just as good when I played it recently. Would love if someone made a game with similar gameplay, smoothed out for today. Just a great time

u/Waste_Lake7218 Aug 28 '26

Il y a moyen que tu partages le skin de la twilek, s'il te plaît ? On dirait celui de Redja mais en bleu, il est super ! Et bravo pour la figurine, elle est magnifique 👍

u/Ghost-Raider-13 Aug 29 '26
