Time line

Hmmn if its about 14 years after ANH it would be closest to The children of the jedi ,Darksaber, Planet of Twilight,X-wing Starfighters of Adumar, and most closest to The crystal star ,havent read the crystal star yet whats it about?This is also after leia and han are married ,be disappointed if in game it says they arent,if it even says anything bout that.

I would be surprised if any of the normal SW charactors are even mentioned in the actual game(not manual). Remember, it is about Kyle Katarn not anyone else.

Okay, this is just an FYI for anyone who might be a little confused as to where JKII actually fits into the Timeline. According to Haden Blackman in a recent chat log, JKII takes place approximately 14 years post-ANH (A New Hope, or the original Star Wars movie)

I'll start from Return of the Jedi (ROTJ), and work my way forward, including just the novels and the games...

So now you know approximately where JKII is supposed to be set during the timeline. It comes approx. 4 years after the end of MotS, the Jedi Academy has been up and running for about 3 years, and the Black Fleet Crisis has yet to happen.

Hope that clears up any confusion in people's minds.

hey storm hammer you got the Essential Chronology book too?.....and by the way I think that Luke Skywalker will be in the game since they said one of the locations will be the Jedi Academy on Yavin 4

Actually, some of it came from the Behind The Magic CD, but I updated it by referring to some of the novels I have.

It's by no means exhaustive - I didn't include a lot of the comics, etc.

Just hope it comes in handy as a ready reckoner.
