Completed the story in Jedi Survivor yesterday. A good game, much better than the first in almost every regard. That being said as the story unfolded I became less interested in it. I didn't find the chief villains all that interesting and could see the plot twist a mile off. I don't envy any writer who takes on Star Wars simply because the original trilogy had such memorable characters inside a wonderful, exciting, roller-coaster of a tale that it's a hard act to follow. This is why I believe a lot of Star Wars related projects, (irrespective of medium), have always struggled to match it.
