we don't want Dash to be a carbonite copy of Mr. Solo. Our suggestion is that rather than thinking of him simply as a mercenary, Dash is more like a swaggery Top Gun-style fighter pilot. A guy with real talent but a bit of a braggart and a blowhard, too.

Wait... that's just Han Solo, though. YOU HACK FRAUDS

Alright Dash Rendarites, I hope you're ready for another exciting Jedi Academy mod! Wooo! Yeah

WOoo!

WOOO!O

WOlsdoo1!

Check this, straight from the mod's description:

quote:

Ultimate victory lies within the grasp of the dreaded Galactic Emperor Palpatine as the tattered remnants of the Rebel fleet desperately seek sanctuary and time to muster new allies.
A grim Luke Skywalker, reeling from Darth Vader's revelation on the cloud city of Bespin ponders his own destiny and that of the Rebel Alliance. Meanwhile, the search ensues for Han Solo, captive of the notorious bounty hunter, Boba Fett.

To deal a final blow to the Rebellion, Palpatine has hatched a new plan of which even Lord Vader is unaware. To aid him, the Emperor had enlisted the services of the vast criminal underworld that lurks within the Shadows of the Empire�

Overview
This mod is a retelling of the Star Wars Expanded Universe story, Shadows of the Empire (also referred to as "SOTE"). This chain of events takes place between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. The Shadows of the Empire story was originally told in 3 media forms: the novel, the comic books, and the video game. Each version was originally very different. This mod is combining all three accounts into one storyline.

Features
The Shadows of the Empire mod will feature all of the original levels from the SotE game (made for Nintendo 64, and later ported to PC). In addition, we plan to integrate elements from the comics and novel by adding more levels which tie together the three originally very different storylines. This makes for one sizable mod. At this time, we plan to have thirteen playable levels. Players will control Dash Rendar as he helps the Rebels track down the captured Han Solo, and guide Luke Skywalker on his path to Jedi Knighthood. Can you prove you have what it takes and save the Rebels from the Shadows of the Empire?

Applications
While Team Jedispy is currently well staffed with talented personnel, we are always happy to accept applications from interested persons. The greatest need we have right now is level design/mapping, and modeling (characters, vehicles, weapons, and props). Any people interested in applying may post applications on our forum.

Aw hell yeah, I'm getting stoked for this mod already, aren't you? It's all coming back to me! We're gonna replay the entirety of Shadows of the Empire, but this time on the Jedi Academy engine! Awwwww yiss! Just check out how excited these people were way back in 2006 when they were getting hyped to play this:

Man, you said it zombieOnion!

Haha, yeah! Give us the release date! Hahaha, oh man, I can't imagine having had to wait. I'm so glad it's 2019 and the mod is out!

Whoa, some wacky jokes going on here. Man, people sure were stoked for this game. Speaking of the model, check out what dvg94 was peepin':

Pretty darn wicked Star Viper. I can't wait to see it in action when we finally get to the end of the mod!

Oh, and those Outrider shots?

Sublime.

Just...

Sublime.

Man, going through these comments really starts to paint a picture. Project must have been going pretty well if it got so big that they had to reboot their site and get a new one going.

Gotta say, I know this is ancient history at this point, but I too am glad jedispy is still at it!

Oof, fair question SPTX, but perhaps a little blunt. I hope jedispy isn't offended...

Hahaha, oh heck yeah, jedispy is really about the people. Woot woot! Jedi Academy SOTE mod!

Hope you in the Dash Thread are getting pumped for this! It's gonna be good!

Yeah! Woo! Track that mod development!

Haha, yeah, don't worry about it, we got lots of time! You tell'em, jedispy, assure them of the mod's continued existence.

W-wait...

Don't tell me this died in 2014.

Where are you jedispy? W, where are you!?

Oh dear...

This is the last comment.

Wha...

Hmmm... well, perhaps we can check those mod site links in the descripti--

Nope, nevermind, those links are dead.

Can we... can we check out some archived versions of the site?

Huh. This must be their old site, the one that moved.

Let's check a later grab:

Uh, yup. Old site.

What about the last archive...

Uh, yikes. That is certainly some kinda forum. It's, uh, not as active as I would have hoped.

The last registered user. They would know what happened to our SOTE mod. They would be able to tell us what they saw.

What did you see, mistertitanic?

DontMockMySmock: Aug 9, 2008; I got this title for the dumbest fucking possible take on sea shanties. Specifically, I derailed the meme thread because sailors in the 18th century weren't woke enough for me, and you shouldn't sing sea shanties. In fact, don't have any fun ever.

God dammit JJ. Can't you ever, just once in your life, move a plot forward?

Sheev is cool, Ian McDiarmid is cool, but that character is fuckin dead and his story was already told over five fuckin movies. That character is done and resurrecting it is fuckin stupid.

Rain Johnson: Let the past die. Nostalgia is bad. All the heroes from your childhood are old and hosed up and can�t help you. Look to a new generation of heroes to save you from a new generation of villains.

JJ Abrams: REMEMBER PALPATINE?! REMEMBER LANDO?! REMEMBER THE DEATH STAR... AGAIN?! REMEMBER ALL THOSE THINGS YOU LIKED FROM THE PAST?! NOSTALGIA FOREVER AND EVER AND NOTHING�S EVER REALLY GONE OR MOVES FORWARD!

I mean, it�s gonna be better than whatever batshit Book of Henry-esque cartwheeling trainwreck Colin Treverrow was going to poo poo all over the screen, but man I�m glad that Star Wars is done* after this.
