I must not fear . Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear . I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

I'm hoping that for the staff or dual-sabers, that when you turn off one blade, you can set the single-blade stance that you are in.

Currently, I think it is dual-sabers to blue; and saber staff to yellow. I want dual sabers, that if I do one blade, go to the yellow (medium) stance. I like the saber staff because I can still go to yellow stance, but I'm more of a fan of the dual sabers.

I'll tinker with it more. And all that movement training pays off here. Not too hard to pull of moves, but it is very nice to do kicks, wall jumps, and wall runs with little effort.

Edit: and the hard drive transfer trick worked, for those that asked.

I've found that the light-staff is fairly good against gun using enemies, but when it comes to a multiple jedi duel i seem to die very quickly.

When I use dual sabers, i get slaughtered by mercs because there is too much spinning. But when it comes to a multiple jedi duel, THEY OWN!!!

Also, i find that a single saber is a mix of the two previously mentioned.

Lightstaff jedi are the hardest to kill :/

This is my first post and I look forward to joining everyone with JA!

Am I the only one that loves Dual Sabers? With one Green and a blue in my hands let the games begin. I'm getting great starting a duel with with one lit (middle mouse button) and in mid-battle hitting the stance change (middle mouse button) finishing with the spinning move (W+Space+Mouse1).

Also running up walls and grabbing and leaping off them, WOW. It is fun to jump from column to column in the Jedi Tomb without touching the ground. Oh yeah and the force leap is nice.

So has anyone tried to play the game using a Gamepad Pro (a clone of a PS2 controller) yet? It's obviously designed for a keyboard, but if it's coming out on PS2, there must be corresponding buttons on the controller. Any suggestions? I've randomly assigned important tasks to buttons, but still use the keyboard and mouse to move around... I just pick up the controller when it's time for a lightsaber duel. :D I think it has some great potential, I just feel kinda held back the way I have it set up now ... (Though I suppose I should quit being lazy and just Google how people set up their controllers for JKO. I'm such a frickin' padawan) Hey, this site rocks!

it seems our servers will be full of Kel Dors running around with staffs... hehe.. pretty one sided.. they should have made the chars you can choose and the saber styles a bit more equal. well, maybe they are. after all this is only the SP demo.

i can't wait... /me jumps up and down

Okay, I give up. WTF do I do after I defeat the boss on the tomb level? I used force sense to see the symbols on the walls on either side of the coffin. I used push and pull on both of them. I pushed and pulled the stone thingies set into the walls below the symbols. Nothin'. ;p

I like the new specials--the sabre staff spin combos are cool, especially the way you can control exactly where you move and what direction you face even while doing a complex kata--but there should be more of them. Maybe I'm just missing them, but there should sophisticated Force-sabre combo specials.
