Apparently, you've even built your own lightsaber, which is highly abnormal as lightsabers are usually built during training.
In any event, you also happen to be the most promising student in the new class.
You can be male or female, choose from one of several different races, and wear different outfits. You can actually customize Jaden's character. Kyle has since joined Luke Skywalker as a teacher at the Jedi Academy and is looking for new students. You previously played as Kyle Katarn, a strong yet reluctant Jedi, in the previous Jedi Knight games. You play as Jaden, the new protagonist in Jedi Academy. Jaden can be male or female, human or alien. It manages to take all the fun parts from its predecessor and greatly expands them to create an engaging, new action game in its own right.
It is not a revolutionary product-as it uses the same Quake III engine and gameplay elements as last year's well-received Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast. Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy is the third game in the series, or, technically, the fourth if you count 1995's Dark Forces, which didn't bear the Jedi Knight name (and didn't let you use lightsabers or Force powers, either). There are dozens of Star Wars games on the market, but none captures the excitement of lightsaber combat as well as the Jedi Knight games.
