A little something humorous to tide you over while you wait for the file to finish (from Jahelp.txt):
TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS FOR JEDI ACADEMY...

...
GRAPHICS ARE DISTORTED: Jedi Academy requires Windows 3.1 to have at least a 256 color VGA display. If you are using below 256 colors or are using an EGA or CGA setting, change it to VGA. For more help on this, consult the Windows 3.1 manual on display settings.

Excellent! :D
I'm suprised at AOL... since when do they host downloads? (It's even fast, and no lines. I'm going at 125k/s.)
:) Only 15 min, 30 sec to go!
Oh god, this is demo is so awesome!
If you choose two lightsabers, you can press the saberstyle button and put away the second blade and fight with one saber with the blue stance. The same applies for double-bladed, except then it's yellow stance.
Im downloading the demo right now.
Overall the demo was good they let ya breath a little I like it
BTW if you want to do the special moves just read the......... README!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!
Cheers,
