(Parody) Respawn announces “Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast” video game remake

Having receiving positive feedback after releasing gameplay footage for their new video game, “Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order,” Electronic Arts (EA) and Respawn announced their next project.

The video game production company announced that a “Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast” make is in the pre-production phase of development. 

And it won’t have any loot boxes or microtransactions. 

“What we’re doing is following the original PC video game and remaking it to 2019 standards of gaming effects,” a Respawn spokesman said at E3 2019. “It’s the same thing Capcon did with the Resident Evil 2 remake. Only we’re doing a Star Wars game.” 

The original “Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast,” released in 2002, featured Kyle Katarn as the main protagonist. Katarn was a great and popular character in the Star Wars Expanded Universe. 

Respawn revealed that the new “Jedi Outcast” remake is set in the same timeline as the original Star Wars Trilogy, completely ignoring the events and storyline of the Star Wars Sequel Trilogy, and will focus on retelling the adventures of Kyle Katarn and his love interest, Jan Ors.   

“This is the Star Wars story that fans deserve,” the Respawn spokesman said. “We’re also working with a film production company to create a ‘Jedi Outcast’ companion film to go along with the game so that fans are able to watch a live-action version of Kyle Katarn during several cutscenes throughout the game.

“It’s like you’re watching a movie and playing a video game at the same time,” he added. 

The “Jedi Outcast” remake is scheduled to begin production in 2020, after Respawn expects to earn millions of dollars off “Jedi: Fallen Order.” 

It remains to be seen if Respawn will use the same first-person and third-person gaming mechanics as the original “Jedi Outcast,” or use the dynamics of “Jedi: Fallen Order.”

The Best Christmas Pageant Ever (2024) Review

The movie starts by introducing us to the Herdmans, a group of poor kids who are the worst kids in town. Even the girls.   Told through the narration of the main protagonist, Beth Bradley, the Herdmans are bullies and juvenile delinquents who spend their time terrorizing the other kids and the townspeople.  Everyone in town hates them, especially the parishioners and busy-body mothers at the local Christian parish.  That changes as the film progresses and our main characters see the Herdmans in a new light as they become involved in the town’s local Christmas pageant.  Sadly, Grace Bradley is forced to take over the pageant after Mrs. Armstrong breaks her legs.  When the Herdmans join the Christmas pageant under the motivation of receiving free food and desserts by going to church, somewhere nobody expected the Herdmans to show their faces, every expects the worst to happen.  However, once the pageant comes around, the entire town has a newfound...

Movie Review: The 5th Wave as Anti-Military propaganda

This article was originally published on June 9, 2017. Normally a story that involves humans fighting seemingly invincible aliens warrants a good story. You'd also think the military would be there to protect Americans. But before long, it becomes clear to the protagonists in “The 5th Wave (2016)” that Americans should resist the military, that the soldiers are the real enemy to humanity. "The 5th Wave," based on the Rick Yancey novel of the same name, follows a long line of Hollywood's assaults on the honor and integers of the brave men and women who fight for their country. Unfortunately, most of Hollywood hasn't limited their attacks to five. The film centers around a young girl who sets out to find her brother after their father is killed in a massacre carried out by military forces. Right after the parents do the natural thing and resist being separated from their children forever. This is the director's way of telli...
