Cool video, thanks for sharing.

Good interview, and nice to see some of the inspirations for the lightsaber gaming combat looks and mechanics. I never knew they used the Heretic II third person engine, that was also a great game.

Also nice to see the evolution of computer games, especially the graphics comparison between Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II (1997) and Jedi Academy (2003).
I don't judge tactics. The Battle is the best and only Judge.
