This game...

would be a kick-@$$ movie. a semi-sequel to ROTJ, with the old-trilogy feel. no pathetic cater-to-the-kiddies stuff. they could rehire Mark Hamill as Luke and B.D. Williams as Lando, of course, but who would play Kyle and Jan? i had an idea...why not Hugh Jackman (Wolverine in X-Men) as Kyle? his tough-guy attitude would fit the bill perfectly. and i read somewhere that Catherine Zeta-Jones (hot) would be great for the Jan role. i guess Desann would be CGI (hopefully not though) and Tavion...not sure about her.

anyone got suggestions for the roles?

Well I guess I would be happy if Angela Harry reprised her role as Jan. she played Jan in the Cutscenes of Jedi Knight: Dark forces 2. I was a little disapointed that they didnt use live action cutscenes for this game like they did the last just because I wanted to look at Angela Harry some more.

It wouldn't be a terrible movie, but it wouldn't be a great one either. However, as much as I loved it, I thought that there was too much lightsaber fighting in this. While it was fun, it sort of detracts from the importance of the lightsaber if every second bad guy has one.

It would be an awsome movie. The story makes the series feel fresh and new. I think they should make it into a movie. That Jedi Reborn thing was cool. The revenge thing was good to because jedis are not supposed to so you wonder if he will become evil.

Yeah, I liked the live action scenes from the first, compared to your average, not so great, in game CGI.

It wouldn't be a good movie since it doesn't make sense in the grand scale of the Star Wars saga. When is this supposed to be set? How long after ROTJ? I would rather see KOTOR made into a mini-series or a movie that JKII. I love the game but the storyline doesn't make sense.

It says at the beginning of the game that it is set 8 years after the battle of Endor so that gives you a pretty good indication. as for thoughts on whether it should be made into a movie, i was thinking the same thing whilst playing this game although i would have no clue on who to cast for it but i wouldn't pick Hammel for Luke because he probably looks older then just 8 years after the Battle Of Endor but i could be wrong.

Jessica Biel would make an awesome Jan and Chris Evans would make a great Kyle.

Well this game becoming a movie is never going to happen. If there will ever be SW movies which situate after Ep. VI (and this is a HUGE IF), they'll be based on the novels written by Zahn or Andersson. But the chances of even that happening are like 1,000,000,000,000 to 1. So, it's a nice thought but...
