[edit] Show Synopsis

Due to the constant threat of the galactic Empire after Emperor Palpatine initiated Order 66, a small group of Jedi have fled to the forest moon of Endor. Through time, the Jedi Masters there reach through the Force to find Younglings who are strong in the Force. After some have been found, a Jedi Master begins basic Lightsaber training for these "Obi-Wannabes," using hands on examples and the wisdom of the Jedi Master Yoda. As the training continues, the Master sense a Disturbance in the Force, and suddenly the Sith Lord Darth Vader Arrives, accompanied by Stormtroopers, and even Darth Maul! Having no other means of escape, the Young Jedi must battle Darth Vader using the Lightsaber training they just received. But when Stormtroopers also block their way, the Jedi Master teaches them to control the Force and Push them out of their way with their minds. After many long battles, Darth Vader leaves, realizing that these Jedi will never join the Dark Side. For their Bravery, all of the Younglings receive a diploma proving that they are official Jedi Knights in training.

(DVD-ROM)      Again, a case of not fdining this game in stores, while easily fdining it on Amazon!!  I love this game, I have it on Xbox as well. I like it much better on PC, mainly because of the XL mode and the huge amounts of AI you are able to play against. I haven't yet tried it online, but I'm sure that it would be even better!!!
