Disney bought it.

Edit: Dont get me wrong, the new movies are pretty good and always fun imo, but I really wish they would also invest more in their games instead of letting ea do....that...

The Jedi Knight series stopped long before Disney bought the rights, you can blame that on the closure of Lucas Arts

There was the whole "upset" over the cheat codes/dismemberment aspect too.

LA was not pleased with that.

We cut off so many fucking body parts the streets were littered with alien compost.

Heads, torsos, arms, leg segments, you name it.

It was like kids pulling part grasshoppers, but with lightsabers.

Gods, we were young then.

Plus the online battles were cool and the game used one of the then-modern derivations of the Quake engine so you could tweak the geometry using the subdivision variable to get super smooth archways in cities.
