I just got JA for Christmas, and I thought of something while in Darth Vader's old castle. In my first time through, I'm trying to restrain myself and stick to the light side...but while fighting with Kyle I saw him running around using grip and lightning, which the game holds as dark powers. Now, I got a question about this business:
What's Luke doing letting a guy like this teach new recruits?
The Luke character comes across as holding training and discipline above all in achieving status as a light Jedi Master, and the last thing he wants is to create another Desann by letting one of his students go astray. So why would he let someone like Kyle, who's borderline light, train new recruits? Or at the very least, if Kyle can be a light Master and zap people with lightning, WHY THE HECK CAN'T I???
it just doesn't seem right...
"It's not what powers you use, it's how you use them."
Pay attention in the training mission. ;)
So...are you saying I can use lighning and grip, just in moderation?
Thats one thing about JA compared to DF2, it's not the powers you use, it's the choices you make.
;)
Actually, (read on for Force spoilers)
Force powers make NO, repeat, NO difference on your Force alignment in JA. The only thing that changes is what Kyle/Luke says to you after each mission tier. I know, it seems screwy, but I guess we'll have to take Kyle's explanation into account.

Because (in jk2) kyle has the power to learn and use both light and dark powers and still remains on the light.
Even in ROTJ, luke uses grip on one of those creatures when he came to rescue Han.
Ah...The Uber Jedi (I loved that in DF2) It seems that a few have sucessfully managed to walk that thin line between dark and light, Kyle and Luke being two. Like one above me mentioned, when Luke entered Jabba's palace to rescue his friends, he choked the door men that wouldn't allow him to enter. His intentions, though, were pure (saving his beloved friends). It does seem to do with the ammount of usage though, because they [seem] to be saying that it doesn't matter your intent, it will start you on your pathway to becoming an "Agent of Evil." ("...Once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny...") Sometimes things go wrong (Luke in Dark Empire) but hopefully, can turn for the better (afterwards) But perhaps, it doesn't matter... maybe Luke has the mentality "I am above the law!" Think about that ;)
Ive just finished reading "The Unifying Force"(the final NJO book), I was quite impressed with Luke.....(njo spoilers to follow)
using double sabers in a nifty move he decapitates the Yuuzhan Vng overlord, Shimmra.....
but yes, his role in JA was a bit disappointing, at least we got to fight alongside him for a little while in JO
MTFWBYA
Crap, I really need to catch up on reading, I stopped at Destiny's Way, or something...
Hmm... What is the light if there is no darkness, whats is good if
there is no evil... there must be contrary so evil is necessary and
if evil is necessary evil must be good so thats it Evil is Good.. :rolleyes:
Just bought Destinys Way the other day...So far an excelent beggining..What's up with them giving you the ebook of Vector Prime? They should give us the ebooks o f all of them!!!!!!!!!!!!!
