How Do I Earn Stars?

I know about getting one when you find all the secrets, but how else do I earn more stars in JK?

Well, finding the secrets is the only way I know how to increase Force stars. Keep in mind that once you choose your alignment with the Force, you can't have any powers from the other side. (at least, in SP)

Yeah I finally figured it out on this site.

In this the walkthrough I learned that the amount of Stars you get on each level is actually predetermined aside from the extra star for finding out all the secrets. This is a relief, I thought I was only getting 1 star on different levels because I was doing something wrong, I wish they would have listed that on their official site, I bought this game in Lucasarts jewel case with a few other games for 12$. All it had was 3 little paper cards inside for each game that told me how to run them games in windows and dos.

Useless info now, but maybe this will help some other future Jedi Knight fan if they were ever curious someday.

Hey, good to hear I'm not the only JK noobie. I got the game last summer for about ten bucks at Best Buy. It might not have the bells and whistles of Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy, but it has some solid gameplay and fun levels.

Yeah this is one of those love it or hate games just like Dark Forces was. Some people say this is the best fps of it's time, others say it's one of the worst SW games. I love it, as soon as I beat this and Dark Forces I'll be up to date on the whole franchise. I can't wait for the real Jedi Knight III, I hope it has it's own engine this time around and not built off Quake III again.

It was a great game for its time and still classic.

Hey, they did something right, or there wouldn't have been so many sequels right?

I think JA's Force progression system is probably better than JK's. It seems to make more sense that you gradually improve certain Force powers each level, now that there are only 3 levels per power.

Having said that...JK did provide more of an incentive to find all of the secrets on a level by tying it into the Force power progression.

Perhaps for JA they should have considered another kind of 'reward' for finding all the secrets.

They could've added a secret level before the final mission

spoiler:
on Korriban, with two versions of the level for Light and Dark side.

It could only be unlocked by getting all the secrets. It would've been incentive for me!
