There have been a lot of Star Wars games, many of which have been fantastic. However, if you were to ask someone which Star Wars game stands above the rest, there is a good chance the Jedi Knight franchise would be the answer. More than any other Star Wars game, the Jedi Knight games do a solid job of actually making you feel like a Jedi, something most others have continually failed to do.

It is practically criminal how long the Jedi Knight franchise has been gone. The last entry in the series, Jedi Academy, was released a whopping 13 years ago. That is far too long for a franchise as good as this to stay dormant, and with the Star Wars brand arguably more popular than ever, now is the perfect time for Jedi Knight to return.

Star Wars fans and gamers alike would welcome this glorious return enthusiastically. A new Jedi Knight wouldnt just be a new Star Wars game; it would be the return of a beloved classic, updated and revitalized for a new era. No Star Wars fan alive would react to this negatively, and thats why it must happen. Your move EA.
