BRIEF BACKGROUND (taken from the back of the box)
Star Wars - Jedi Knight : Jedi Academy is the latest installment of the highly
acclaimed Jedi Knight series.  Take on the role of a new student eager to learn
the ways of the Force from Jedi Master Luke Skywalker.  Interact with famous
Star Wars characters in many classic Star Wars locations as you face the
ultimate choice: fight for good and freedom on the light side or follow the
path of power and evil to the dark side.

CONTROLS
Whilst the game is entirely customisable in terms of what the controls are, and
how you allocate the buttons to functions ?  I personally found that the
following worked for me.  For starters I had TWO different movement control
methods.  I used the regular up, down, left and right cursors with my LEFT hand
and mapped my most-often-used Force Powers to the numeric keypad so that I
could do all my movement and Force Power use with my left hand, and look and
attack using the mouse with my right-hand, and I retained a SECOND set of
movement controls on the W, A, S and D keys (where A and D were STRAFING
commands), and C crouched, and used THAT set of keys when I entered combat with
other lightsaber-wielders, as I found it easier to move in combat using that
method.  PLUS if you press C+W and your Primary Attack button ?  You do a cool
twirl (depending on your saber and fighting stance).
So ... MY buttons were as follows
MOVE FORWARD       = Up Arrow / W
MOVE LEFT          = Left Arrow
MOVE RIGHT         = Right Arrow
MOVE BACK          = Down Arrow / S
STRAFE LEFT        = A
STRAFE RIGHT       = D
CROUCH             = C
JUMP               = Right Mouse Button
PRIMARY FIRE       = Left Mouse Button
SECONDARY FIRE     = Ctrl
USE                = Enter
FORCE ABSORB       = (no key mapped - I never use it)
FORCE HEAL         = 4 (on the numeric keypad)
MIND TRICK         = 1 (on the numeric keypad)
FORCE PROTECTION   = + (on the numeric keypad)
FORCE SPEED        = 5 (on the numeric keypad)
FORCE JUMP         = Hold down right mouse button
FORCE SIGHT        = 6 (on the numeric keypad)
FORCE PUSH         = 7 (on the numeric keypad)
FORCE PULL         = 8 (on the numeric keypad)
FORCE DRAIN        = 0 (on the numeric keypad)
FORCE GRIP         = 2 (on the numeric keypad)
FORCE LIGHTNING    = 3 (on the numeric keypad)
FORCE RAGE         = 9 (on the numeric keypad)

CHOOSING YOUR DIFFICULTY LEVEL
There are FOUR difficulty levels to choose from in Jedi Academy :
Padawan, Jedi, Jedi Knight and Jedi Master.
There is nothing more to be said about this ... Padawan is obviously the
easiest, and they get progressively more ... interesting from then on in !!
==============================================================================
IMPORTANT NOTE :  This walkthrough will be for NORMAL difficulty.

============================================================================
CHOOSING YOUR CHARACTER
Now that you've decided how BUTCH you are feeling, it's time to choose your
character.  Unfortunately there are NOT as many options available to you when
choosing your character insofar as their race and gender are concerned as I am
sure we would all have liked, but hey !  Since the game has been around for a
while there are PLENTY of extra skins that you can download from web-sites out
there that you can use in this game, from Darth Maul to Darth Vader, Master
Yoda, Luke, Kyle, and many many more.  My favourite character is modelled on
one of the Ring Wraiths from the Lord of the Rings.  He looks SO cool !!!!! =)
ASSUMING you've not downloaded any extra .pk3 skin files from the internet ?
Let me give you a run-down on the characters you can pick for now.
TWI'LEK FEMALE
I LOVE the Twi'lek as a race ... it's those ...... THINGS on their head ...
they're just so funny !!  Unfortunately the only Twi'lek you can pick is a
female ... nothing against girls ?  But I TOTALLY wanted to play a male
Twi'lek ... remember that guy from Jabba's Palace ?  His counselor-dude ?  I
wanted to make HIM as a character (pout pout).
As a Twi'lek Female you have a choice of SIX different colours for her skin,
EIGHT different faces to pick from, SIX different upper torsos, and FOUR
different sets of leggings.
ZABRAK FEMALE
Again, if you want to play as a Zabrak, you can ONLY play as a female as at
the time of writing ... which is a bit PANTS really innit !  Nevermind eh ...
As a Zabrak Female you have the choice of NINE different colour-schemes for
the trim on her clothing, THREE different faces to pick from, SIX different
upper torsos and FOUR sets of leggings.
HUMAN FEMALE
The human is the only character in the game which has both genders available
for you to pick from ... and to be honest I think that's favouritism !  I mean,
SURE, it's appealling to the masses and all that ?  But DAMN !!  As it so
happens the choices in both female and male versions of the human aren't quite
as varied as I would have liked ... but hey - beggars can't be choosers, eh ?
As a Human Female you have the choice of NINE different colour-schemes for the
trim on her clothing, THREE different faces to pick from, SIX different upper
torsos and FOUR sets of leggings.
HUMAN MALE
My comments for the human male are pretty much the same as for the human
female ... you'll  see what I mean ;)
As a Human Male you have the choice of NINE different colour-schemes for the
trim on his clothing, THREE different faces to pick from, SEVEN different
upper torsos and FOUR sets of leggings.
KEL DOR MALE
Aaaaaaah Plo Koon can be yours !! ;)
As a Kel Dor Male you have the choice of NINE different colour-schemes for the
trim on his clothing, THREE different faces to pick from, SIX different upper
torsos and FOUR sets of leggings.
RODIAN MALE
Hey !  You look kinda familiar ... did we go out on a date once ???
Hmmmmmmm ... you sure ?
As a Rodian Male you have the choice of NINE different colour-schemes for the
trim on his clothing, THREE BUTT-UGLY faces to pick from, SIX different upper
torsos and FOUR sets of leggings.
Right ... now that you've picked your playing piece, so-to-speak, in this game,
we will move on to the all-important LIGHT SABER OPTIONS ... (wrings hands in
glee)
============================================================================
¦                                  0 0 5                                   ¦
============================================================================
CHOOSING YOUR LIGHTSABER
Right ... at the outset you only get the choice of ONE light saber.  You can
still customise it though, so don't be upset :)  You can pick from a total of
TEN different saber hilts - the Arbiter, Retaliator, Consul (my personal fave),
Adept, Praetor, Sentinel, Adjudicator, Defender and Firebrand, AND (more
importantly in my humble opinion) a choice of FIVE different colours for your
"blade".  Blue, Green, Orange, Purple or Yellow.
NO, THERE IS NO RED ON THIS SCREEN.
I KNOW ... IT SUCKS ...
But the game still ROCKS, yes ?? =)
==============================================================================
IMPORTANT NOTE :  You can download a .pk3 mod file to offer you a red blade.
==============================================================================
Finally, you will note that the only style of fighting available to you with
your saber at the outset is "medium".
So !!  Now you've picked your wussness-factor, your character AND your all-
important Light Saber ... so let's GO !!!!!
CUE the cutscenes !!

LET THE GAME BEGIN !
A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away ....
STAR WARS
JEDI KNIGHT: JEDI ACADEMY
Ten years after the Battle of Endor, the IMPERIAL REMNANT continues to be
driven back by the NEW REPUBLIC, forcing the Imperials to adopt increasingly
desperate tactics in the ongoing struggle.
Meanwhile, Jedi Master LUKE SKYWALKER moves to restore the JEDI to their
formal place as peacekeepers of the galazy at his JEDI ACDADEMY on YAVIN 4.
JADEN KORR, a promising student from Coruscant, is en route to the Academy
after achieving the impossible: creating a lightsaber without any formal Jedi
training ....
The cutscene (briefly) shows you on the Yavin Runner 2 en route to the Academy,
and having a brief dialogue with a rather jumpy student named Rosh.  Just as
you are starting to chat with him, the shuttle is hit by some sort of energy
blast from the planet, wiping out one of its engines and forcing the pilot to
make an emergency landing.
Whilst Master Skywalker is talking with the pilot to ascertain the extent of
the damage, a Twi'Lek spy steals into his Academy and messes with his
computers !!  That little SLEAZE !!
She disappears seemingly without attracting any attention from Master
Skywalker.

============================================================================
==============================================================================
INTRODUCTORY MISSION - YAVIN 4 - EN ROUTE TO THE ACADEMY
==============================================================================
The game starts with you standing beside the downed Yavin Runner 2.  The voice
of the pilot calls out to you to tell you that they can't get to you, and that
you should make your way to the temple, where the shuttle will meet you.
Rosh is standing on some rocks ahead of you - a river separates the two of
you.
There is a slight chill in the air, and the smell of lilies on the breeze.
You receive a new objective (you'll know this because "New Objective
Information" appears at the top of your screen in big letters) as soon as you
start this level, and it tells you (if you press the M key on your keyboard)
to "Find a way to rescue Rosh from the ledge he is on".
Turn 45 degrees to your right.  See the fern across the other side of the ...
lake ?  Head over to it.  Rosh tells you that you might be able to use your
light saber to cut down the tree nearby to make a bridge for him.  In fact,
in the time it's taken me to type that little bit of text he's already said it
to me ... like ... THREE TIMES ??  STOP BEING SO IMPATIENT YOU LITTLE
MAGGOT !!!!!!!!
Aaaaaaaaaand ... WHALLOP !  Tree goes down with one swing of your light saber
and Rosh is free.  Now the two of you have to make your way over to the Temple.
Turn to your right and follow the stream upriver.  You will be attacked by two
Howlers.  They are very weak - a single blow from your lightsaber will take
them down ... just beware if they raise their heads and start to shriek
though, as you will be unable to get in close-quarters whilst they are doing
so (try it for a laugh - the effect is quite cool).
Once the two Howlers have been killed, you can go on ... keep your eye out for
a door on the right wall ... go to it when you see it ...
==============================================================================
CUTSCENE - Rosh opens the door for you.
==============================================================================
Go through the door and you will find another Howler to your left.  Rosh will
warn you about this one ... you can either wait for it to stop shrieking, let
Rosh try and shoot it (do we REALLY have the time ??  He's a CR@P SHOT !!), or
chuck your light saber at its belly using your SECOND ATTACK function ... by
default I think this is the right mouse button ;)
Follow the track around to the right and then cross the bridge.  The track
then curves to the left and you get to fight ANOTHER Howler (easy peasy).
Climb the rocks ahead of you and Rosh will tell you to use your lightsaber to
make another tree-bridge for the two of you to use ... do so, and move on.
Just don't be clever and try and stand under it when you cut it ?? ;)
Once over the bridge, follow the path to the left and back around to the
right.  Kill the last Howler and move on.
==============================================================================
CUTSCENE - Jaden and Rosh reach the Academy, and spot Storm Troopers in the
clearing ahead.  Rosh wimps out and suggests you go in and sort it out, given
that a) you are the one with the lightsaber, and b) he's a RUBBISH shot with
that pistol of his ...
==============================================================================
Once you have taken out the two Storm Troopers a renegade lightsaber-wielding
Dark Jedi ... I think it's safe to call him that ?  Drops down into the
clearing below you and begins to taunt you.  Drop down and duel it out with
him ... you shouldn't have any real problems with him - he's easy ;)
Once he is dead, this level is over.
==============================================================================
CUTSCENE - Jaden strolls across the water to the temple and witnesses three
Dark Jedi - one of whom is armed with some sort of staff weapon - standing at
the temple and projecting some sort of energy beam from the staff.
You make a noise and are spotted.  Next thing you know, you wake up with
Master Skywalker, Kyle Katarn, Rosh and a load of other students around.
The scene switches to a shuttle leaving the planet, with the Dark Jedi from
the Temple and the Twi'lek spy having a conversation.  The Spy confirms that
she has been able to hack into Skywalker's records ... her mistress seems
pleased.
The action then switches back to the Academy, where the students are given
their induction-speech.  Master Skywalker explains that multiple students will
be assigned to each Jedi Master, given the shortage of Masters to teach.  You
and (guess who) will wind up working under Kyle's tutelage.

JEDI ACADEMY - TRAINING
==============================================================================
Once you begin, head over to the door to your north-east.  It will open
automatically.
==============================================================================
CUTSCENE - Kyle explains that the course is designed to teach you how to use
your CORE force abilities.
==============================================================================
After he has given you his speech, move through the door ahead of you into the
Training Remote Corridor.  There are FIVE training remotes that will come at
you - just like in the movies.  Deflect laser blasts if you like (you won't be
able to redirect them at the remotes yet - you're not proficient enough with
the lightsaber), otherwise hack and throw your saber at the remotes until they
are all DEED.
Once they have fallen, Kyle will congratulate you and (after he's done talking)
you should move through the door in front of you.
Head to your left - just to the left of that grey tower ahead of you - and
then turn right 90 degrees.  Kyle will tell you to Force Jump across the
bridge.  Once you have done this, run straight ahead and towards the oddly-
coloured section of the wall.
Kyle will tell you to use Force Push to get through - do so.
In the next section, Rosh tries to slow you down by releasing a training droid
to fight you.  He seems to think this is some sort of a competition or
something.  What a GIMP.
Dispose of the Training Droid with the UTMOST contempt, and then head to the
LEFT of the arena, past the obelisk and through the trapezium-shaped doorway.
==============================================================================
CUTSCENE - Kyle will ask you why you took so long.  You dismiss him, telling
him it was nothing.
==============================================================================
In the next area, you need to use Force Pull to activate the switch behind the
grate on the right-hand wall.  Doing so will open the door before you.
As you pass through this doorway you clear your first CHECKPOINT =)
Checkpoints are cool, basically this means if you die ?  And you HAVEN'T
saved ?  You can be brought back to life at your last checkpoint.  Obviously I
would strongly suggest saving wherever possible just to be on the safe side,
but this is handy as a hint that something BAD is about to happen ;)
For future reference I will enter the words CHECKPOINT SAVED AUTOMATICALLY at
key points where a checkpoint is saved.  HOPEFULLY I'll get them all, but you
should ALWAYS make use of the F12 key to store a quick-save after killing a
particularly irritating bad guy, or escaping an especially dangerous trap.
Don't worry - quick-save doesn't generate one save per button use - it only
maintains the one save, so EVERY time you press F12 it overwrites the LAST
quick-save.  F9 is the quick-load command (as in, it loads the last quick-save)
just in case you're curious ;)  I made EXTENSIVE use of both buttons during my
time playing this game.  Anyhow ... back to the plot.
As you will see, the way ahead is blocked.  Go through the door on the right,
down the steps and into the next room.  Kyle tells you to use your Force Sense
power to see if you can find a way out of the room.
If you look around you will see that in the upper-left corner of the room is a
walkway that you can't reach ... you need to use Force Sense and look at the
southern wall of this room - as in, just to the left of the door you used to
come in ?  On THAT wall you will see some coloured icons.  Use Force Pull on
those icons and you will draw out blocks from the wall that you can climb,
thus enabling you to reach the walkway.
YOU DO NOT WANT TO KNOW HOW LONG IT TOOK ME TO WORK THAT OUT !?!?!??!?!?!? ;)
Once you are on the walkway, turn to the left and head through the door.  Then
turn right and through the next door.  Run down the corridor and through the
next door.  When you run straight into the obelisk ?  Turn right ;)  go
straight and then through the door on the left and Kyle will tell you about
your last challenge on this course ... the use of Force Speed.
Go through the door directly ahead of you and you will see doors at 45 degrees
to your east AND west.  It's not so important which one you use, but you must
use Force Speed BEFORE you run towards the door (whichever one you pick) as it
will start to close as you approach it.
I'm going to go through the right door.  GO GO GO GO GO !!!
Once through the right door, turn a little to your left, head over to the
steps, then turn 90 degrees to your right and go through the archway.
HERE ENDS THE TRAINING LEVEL.
==============================================================================
CUTSCENE - Kyle explains to Rosh that he's a LOSER and that what he did was
STUPID and reckless.  Kyle also explains to Jaden that, whilst she has every
right to be unhappy with Rosh, feeding her anger will lead her to the dark
side.
Master Skywalker comes out to greet you all, and explains that a symbol on a
piece of clothing that the assailants left at the temple (most likely the one
you KILLED at the start) is the symbol of the Sith Lord Marka Ragnos.  Ragnos
died 5,000 years ago, and Skywalker requests that when you are out and about
on your missions, you should keep an eye open for any cult affiliated with
Ragnos in any way.
==============================================================================
Having now completed your training, you are ready to begin actively working
for the Jedi Academy.
Luke explains that the Academy maintains a policy of "learning by doing" -
i.e. sharing the workload ... this being the case, you yourself will actively
be undertaking missions for and on behalf of the Academy.

On the first "LEVEL" as it were, you have a choice of five missions :-
1) Mercenary Activity on Tatooine
2) Droid Recovery on Tatooine
3) Emergency Assistance on Bakura
4) Merchant Rescue on Blenjeel
5) Cult Investigation on Corellia
You can undertake these missions in whichever order you like, but for the ease
of doing this walkthrough I am going to stick to them in the order they are
given to you.
==============================================================================
IMPORTANT NOTE :  You actually only need to complete FOUR of the missions to
make it to the end of the first 'level', but I would strongly ... STRONGLY
suggest playing through them all ...
==============================================================================
So !  Without further ado it's ON TO THE MISSIONS !!!!! =D
============================================================================

============================================================================
LEVEL 1 - MISSION 1
MERCENARY ACTIVITY - TATOOINE
BRIEFING
"We've been receiving a number of reports that the Disciples of Ragnos have
been trying to hire mercenaries and smugglers to haul some cargo.  If we can
contact one of these mercenary groups, maybe we can find out the cult's base
of operations.  One of the smuggling rings that we know about is based at Mos
Eisley.  Go there and see what you can find out."
KYLE : "This one sounds like it could be nasty, so I'll be going with you.
You'll find some of the galaxy's worst lowlife on Tatooine."
==================
PREPARATION
Once you have accepted the mission you are taken to the Force Power screen.
Every time you come to this screen you can add ONE force point to any light OR
dark force power you choose, up to a maximum of THREE force points in each
power.  Given that this is the first time you have come to this screen, a Help
screen will appear to explain all this to you.
You CANNOT upgrade your core force powers - force jump, force pull, force push,
force sense, force speed, lightsaber defence, lightsaber offence and lightsaber
throw will all grow at their own rate.
You have a choice, therefore, of EIGHT different force powers into which you
can channel this first force point :-

Here they are - everything from Force Lay-your-coat-down-over-a-puddle to
Force-knitting, and the ALWAYS popular, Force Donate-money-to-charideeee ...
*sigh* ... quite a PIFF bunch of skills in my humble opinion ... JJJOOOIIINNNN
TTTTHHHEEEE DDDDAAARRRKKK SSSSIIIIDDDDEEEEEE =)
FORCE ABSORPTION
Duration :        20 seconds
Area of Effect :  Jedi only
Effect :          Jedi can absorb dark Force power, Force Push and Force Pull
directed at them.
RANK 1 :          Jedi can absorb minor amounts of Force power directed at
them with no ill effects and gain some Force power back as a
result.
RANK 2 :          Jedi can absorb moderate amounts of Force power directed at
them with no ill effects and gain a modest amount of Force
power back as a result.
RANK 3 :          Jedi can absorb a great amount of Force power directed at
them with no ill effects and gain a large amount of Force
power back as a result.
SINISTER SAYS :   Useful only if you are looking to stop yourself being thrown
off a bridge by those more powerful in the force than you,
basically.  I never bother with this particular power.
============================================================================
¦                     Additional comments by Phil Carter                   ¦
============================================================================
¦ At high levels Force Absorb is VERY useful in battles with multiple Jedi ¦
¦ Activate it and as soon as they attempt a couple Push or Pulls, or throw ¦
¦ lightning, or attempt a Drain, your Force bar jumps right back up to     ¦
¦ maximum.  Great way to recharge without running away from them while you ¦
¦ wait for it to build back up. I find this skill is just about essential  ¦
¦ on levels with tons of Dark Jedi like Vjun or the final level. It's like ¦
¦ a self-renewer for the Force.                                            ¦
============================================================================
FORCE HEAL
Duration :        Instantaneous effect
Area of Effect :  Jedi only
Effect :          Jedi have the ability to heal themselves after injury
RANK 1 :          Jedi goes into a meditative stance for a short time and must
remain stationary.  Any movement or attack will prevent
healing.  Healing rate depends on game difficulty.
RANK 2 :          Jedi no longer needs to be stationary.  The Jedi will heal
over a short period of time.  Healing rate depends on game
difficulty.
RANK 3 :          Jedi heals more rapidly than rank 2.  Healing rate depends
on game difficulty.
SINISTER SAYS :   Um ... Judges ??  This skill is ESSENTIAL if you want to get
anywhere in this game, as I'm sure you've already guessed.
If you don't have this skill then the only way you can heal
yourself is to either a) finish the level, b) find medikits
and other power-ups, or c) cheat !!  I would strongly suggest
plumping at LEAST two points into this skill.
MIND TRICK
Duration :        Variable
Area of Effect :  Humanoids
Effect :          Allows Jedi to confuse and/or misdirect attention
RANK 1 :          Jedi can confuse one enemy for 10 seconds by directly
targeting that enemy.
NOTE: A direct attack made by the Jedi on a confused enemy
will cancel the effect.  Mind trick does not work on
some, more powerful enemies, such as Cultists and
Reborn.
RANK 2 :          Jedi can confuse one enemy for 15 seconds by directly
targeting that enemy or distract multiple enemies that have
not noticed them by using mind trick on a nearby surface.
RANK 3 :          Jedi can turn one enemy into an ally for 30 seconds by
directly targeting that enemy or distract multiple enemies
that have not noticed them by using mind trick on a nearby
surface.  An ally will not respond to attacks by the Jedi.
SINISTER SAYS :   Whilst I have a big soft-spot for this skill ?  It's not
INSANELY useful - you will most likely use it just for show
But it's still worth sinking at least one point into if
you're into the whole "you don't need to see his
identification" thing ??? ;)
FORCE PROTECTION
Duration :        Variable
Area of Effect :  Jedi only
Effect :          Allows Jedi to decrease incoming damage from energy,
physical, projectile, and explosive sources.
RANK 1 :          Jedi is protected against 25% of the damage from physical
and energy and projectile based attacks, but not from Force
based attacks.
RANK 2 :          Jedi is protected against 50% of the damage from physical
and energy and projectile based attacks, but not from Force
based attacks.
RANK 3 :          Jedi is protected against 75% of the damage from physical
and energy and projectile based attacks, but not from Force
based attacks.
SINISTER SAYS :   A useful skill, to be sure ... PARTICULARLY useful if you
ever get into lightsaber duels, as this skill can
dramatically reduce the damage you take - in other words,
it's VERY useful for the newbies out there ;)
=================
DARK FORCE POWERS
=================
YES !!!!!!!!!!!  These skills ROCK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Read on !! =)
FORCE DRAIN
Duration :        Variable
Area of Effect :  Living persons only
Effect :          Allows Jedi to transfer the life essence of a person to
themselves.
RANK 1 :          Jedi can drain life essence from another person and transfer
it to themselves by making direct physical contact with that
person.
RANK 2 :          Jedi can drain life essence from another person and transfer
it to themselves by making direct physical contact with them
or from a short distance away.
RANK 3 :          Jedi can drain life essence from another person and transfer
it to themselves by making direct physical contact with them
or from a safe distance away.  From a distance, multiple
people can be drained at one time.
SINISTER SAYS :   OMIGODHOWCOOL !! =O  Become a VAMPIRE with this skill !!!!!
Basically you leech life force from your opponents with this,
leaving them a broken mound of wibbling jelly on the
ground ... YYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHAAAAAAAA
I would look to sinking at least two force points into this
skill during the course of the game.
FORCE GRIP
Duration :        Instantaneous
Area of Effect :  Living persons only
Effect :          Allows Jedi to choke or constrict the organs of a living
being.
RANK 1 :          Jedi can grip and hold one enemy immobile, but undamaged for
5 seconds.
RANK 2 :          Jedi can lift one enemy off the ground and do damage, with
the effect lasting as long as there is Force power.
RANK 3 :          Jedi can lift one enemy off the ground and do damage as with
rank 2, but can also smash the enemy into surfaces or use the
enemy as a shield.
SINISTER SAYS :   Okay ... now I've got to be honest ... the first three force
points I sank into my first character ?  My blue-skinned
Twi'lek with the Purple Consul Saber ?  Went straight into
this skill ... IT'S WICKED !!!!!  I would TOTALLY recommend
sinking three points into this skill.  You WON'T be sorry
;)
FORCE LIGHTNING
Duration :        Variable
Area of Effect :  Living persons only
Effect :          Allows Jedi to hurl a devastating electrical attack against
enemies.
RANK 1 :          Jedi launches a single bolt that fires forward, doing instant
damage.
RANK 2 :          Jedi can maintain the Force Lightning for a sustained
forward attack.
RANK 3 :          Jedi emanates a sustained fan of electricity in a large
forward arc, damaging anything in front of them.
SINISTER SAYS :   Another three-pointer for the Dark Side !! =)  Whilst it's
pretty PAP at rank one, by rank three you can wipe out a
whole ROOM of bad OR good guys ;)  with a single use of this
power !!  AND how funny is it when you're using it to blow
people off buildings =./  I've said too much ... hee hee.
FORCE RAGE
Duration :        10 seconds
Area of Effect :  Jedi only
Effect :          Affords Jedi protection against damage, an increase in speed,
and an increase in damage potential, at the expense of
health.  The Jedi needs some recovery time after a Rage ends.
RANK 1 :          Jedi is protected against 50% of all damage, has stronger
attacks, and cannot die.  However, the Jedi loses health
rapidly, and must wait for 10 seconds after the rage before
it can be used again.  The Jedi must have at least 25 health
to use this power.
RANK 2 :          Jedi is protected against 75% of all damage, is 25% faster,
has stronger attacks, and cannot die.  However, the Jedi
loses health and must wait for 10 seconds after the rage
before it can be used again.  The Jedi must have at least
25 health to use this power.
RANK 3 :          Jedi is protected against 90% of all damage, is 50% faster,
has stronger attacks, and cannot die.  The Jedi loses only
a small amount of health but still must wait for 10 seconds
after the rage before it can be used again.  The Jedi must
have at least 25 health to use this power.
SINISTER SAYS :   Ok ... whilst I can see its advantages ?  This is my LEAST
favourite Dark Force power, for the simple reason that IT
DRAINS YOUR HEALTH.  I mean, SURE it's GREAT to look like
Luke during his fight with Darth Vader where he goes totally
flippin' MENTAL and hammers away with his light saber ?  But
the difference ?  Luke doesn't act like an old woman when his
"rage" ends ... and TRUST ME you will ;)  Usually you wind
up with a couple of health points left after your rage ends,
and you will get killed by something really embarrassing
like ... a bird cr@pping on your head or something ...
... Sinister says this is SOOOOOOOOOO bad for your image ...
==================
Hokay !!  So WHICHEVER force power you have decided to put your first point
into ?  Well done !!  Now we can move on to the equipment and weaponry screen
=)

CHOOSING WEAPONRY
Once again, as this is your first time on this screen, you get a Help screen
to assist you.
Basically, to cut a long story short ?  You can take TWO weapons and ONE
explosive with you on each mission, courtesy of the Academy.
Here is the FULL list of weapons and explosives available to you :-
==================
WEAPONS
==================
LIGHTSABER
(Always taken with you)
An elegant weapon for a more civilized age, the lightsaber is the preferred
weapon of the Jedi Knight.  The lightsaber is an energy blade of great power
that can be used by the wielder for both attack and defense.
PRIMARY FIRE :      Slashing and swinging attacks
SECONDARY FIRE :    Force powered saber throw
DEFENSIVE ABILITY : Deflects blaster and energy weapon fire, parries enemy
lightsaber attacks
AMMO TYPE :         N/A
SINISTER SAYS :     This weapon is the MUTT'S NUTS I'm tellin ya.  I almost
never use anything else !!  And later on in the game you
get to (clamps hands over his mouth before he blurts it
out ................. *types with his toes for a bit*)
DL-44 HEAVY BLASTER PISTOL
(Always taken with you)
One of the most common firearms in the galaxy, the DL-44 Heavy Blaster Pistol
is a hand-held weapon with a slow rate of fire and incredible accuracy.
PRIMARY FIRE :      Slow, single shot with great accuracy and damage
SECONDARY FIRE :    Charged energy buildup for increased damage blast
attack
AMMO TYPE :         Blaster Pack
SINISTER SAYS :     It may be underpowered next to most other weapons in the
game, but it's a freebie from the academy, and if you are
steady with your aim you can get some really good shots off
with this puppy.  It has a charge-up function as its
second mode of fire, and looks very sleek and sexy in its
black veneer finish, as it's being modelled by the talented
Stacey
*points to his left*
*cameras pan over to the lovely Stacey modelling the DL-44*
*applause signs light up*
*the crowd goes wild*
........... *sigh*
E-11 BLASTER RIFLE
The primary weapon of the Imperial Forces, the E-11 is a study and deadly
blaster rifle capable of inflicting great damage despite its small size.  The
E-11's compacy design makes it easy to carry and conceal.
PRIMARY FIRE :      Slow, single shot with modest accuracy and great damage.
SECONDARY FIRE :    Rapid, burst first with low accuracy and expanded firing
area.
AMMO TYPE :         Blaster Pack
SINISTER SAYS :     Compared with the DL-44, this is like a nuclear warhead -
it does TONNES of damage and is a very reasonable hand-
weapon to use ... I wouldn't recommend taking it on a
mission, as in any level with Imperial troops you will find
MASSES of these lying around, so I would go for something
a bit more ... special ... =./
TENLOSS DXR-6 DISRUPTOR RIFLE
This nefarious weapon affects matter at the molecular level, ripping apart
living material with ease.  Because of the weapon's inhumane nature, the DXR-6
is outlawed throught the galaxy and is generally only used by scattered droid
and Remnant forces.
PRIMARY FIRE :      Single shot with slow fire rate, fast projectile and small
radius damage.
SECONDARY FIRE :    Scoped Mode : Single shot with slow fire rate, increased
damage and high weapon energy consumption.
AMMO TYPE :         Power cell
SINISTER SAYS :     I ALWAYS take this weapon with me ... WHY ??  NOT ONLY
because it's a really mean little sonofab!tch, but ALSO
because it has a S-N-I-P-E-R scope on it.  You can use this
to GREAT effect to scout out areas before you go running in
guns blazing, only to find you're TOTALLY outclassed ;)
ALSO, in sniper mode ?  You can charge up the attack and
VAPORISE your enemies from afar (worth it even at the high
energy cost) ;)
WOOKIEE BOWCASTER
This archaic-looking weapon fires powerful bolts of metal enveloped in pockets
of energy.  Capable of inflicting incredible damage, the bowcaster requires
tremendous physical strength to fire.  Most bowcasters sold outside the
Wookiee homeworld come equipped with self-cocking actions that allow physically
weaker creatures to fire them.
PRIMARY FIRE :      Slow, single show with radius damage.  Hold FIRE to charge
weapon for spread attack.
SECONDARY FIRE :    Unleashes a reflective shot that bounces off solid
surfaces.
AMMO TYPE :         Power Cell
SINISTER SAYS :     A powerful but UGLY-@SS weapon that I never take with
me ... sorry ... =./
When fully charged it can fire multiple energy blasts in a
wide arc, so it's good for taking out groups of people,
but for me ?  It's just too damned UGLY !! ;)
DESTRUCTIVE ELECTRO-MAGNETIC PULSE 2 GUN
Commonly referred to as the DEMP 2, this pulse rifle is primarily used against
droids and electrical devices.  The DEMP 2 fires highly-powered ion bursts that
disrupt electrical systems.  Unlike previous incarnations of the weapon, the
DEMP 2's ion charges are capable of damaging living material.
PRIMARY FIRE :      Single shot, stuns humans, damages droids.
SECONDARY FIRE :    Charged energy attack that creates an expanding shell of
electromagnetic energy on impact that damages humanoids,
droids and turrets.
AMMO TYPE :         Power cell
SINISTER SAYS :     Another weapon I tend to take with me ... it does MASSES
of damage to droids and electrical systems, and this can
REALLY help you later on in the game ;)  There are better
weapons, sure ... but I really have a soft spot for this
one !!
IMPERIAL HEAVY REPEATER WITH CONCUSSION LAUNCHER
This destructive projectile weapon is extremely deadly, firing rapid streams
of metal bullets.  Imperial forces use the Heavy Repeater's deadly suppressive
fire and concussion launcher for crowd control and to spread heavy fire over
large areas.
PRIMARY FIRE :      Fully automatic projectile fire
SECONDARY FIRE :    Single shot, concussive explosive round
AMMO TYPE :         Metallic Bolts
SINISTER SAYS :    This is a mighty fine choice of weapon.  The INSANELY rapid
rate of fire that you get in standard mode makes it a joy
to use - especially when you unload up close and into the
head of a boss.  The SECONDARY function is a GREAT crowd-
disperser, BUT it fires on an arc so you have to aim UP to
get it to fire further and, given its high energy
