Wikipedia is not a strategy guide or instruction manual. Wikipedia articles should focus on the games themselves, not on how to play them; they should not contain tips, tricks, or cheat codes. That information is available elsewhere (such as on our sister project, Wikibooks), in printed guides and online, and does not belong in an encyclopedia entry. Please do not add your own hints or opinions of the game. Verifiable content about the history, design, and overall description of the game is welcome. If you have questions about whether specific information should be added, ask here first. |
Pathways to the Force?
editIt should probably be mentioned that there is a version of this game called Pathways to the Force, which is an OEM version containing the first three levels, distributed on CD-ROM with Diamond Monster 3D PCI 4MB video card. Maybe others too, I'm not sure. Jeffz1 (talk) 19:16, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

"Stars cannot be reclaimed"
editThat is not completely true. If you use a combination of dark and light side powers, you will at some point loose the powers of the opposite side (for example you will loose the healing power if you become a dark jedi), but you reclaim the stars and get to use them for neutral powers or the side that you have chosen. --F4LL0UT (talk) 03:32, 29 January 2011 (UTC)
there should be a list of actors playing the parts in the movies
editit is relevant to making the article as complete as possible. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.208.59.120 (talk) 23:12, 22 August 2011 (UTC)

How is there a mention of Order 66?
editThis game came out well before the prequels. It didn't have Order 66 in it. I think some of this has been copied from another article or something. Charlesmartin82 (talk) 01:38, 17 March 2019 (UTC)
- Good spot Charlesmartin82, someone must have slipped that in here without us noticing; probably an innocent bit of retconning, but still not appropriate. Well spotted. Bertaut (talk) 01:45, 17 March 2019 (UTC)

Hardware acceleration timeline
editOne of you apparently has a beef with the fact that this was probably the first FPS to ship with a hardware-accelerated renderer. Can you please name an earlier one? Last time I checked, neither Quake, nor any of the Build engine games, nor Dark Forces I shipped with a hardware renderer (although some were later added to some Quake I source ports or something), whereas Quake II, Blood II, Unreal, and Half-Life all came later. 24.5.198.222 (talk) 22:49, 25 November 2024 (UTC)
- If you can't source it, it's not going to be kept in the article. We currently source the prose to a Microsoft press release about Direct3D which lists more than 52 games, many of which beat Jedi Knight to the market. -- ferret (talk) 23:30, 25 November 2024 (UTC)
