I played this game through to the point just after you get the lightsaber. I enjoyed the blaster portions, but I found using a lightsaber to be annoying. And I got completely stuck after fighting my way through the bar - there was nowhere else left to go but over a cliff. That’s where I stopped playing.

The lightsaber certainly takes a bit of getting used to, and one of the traps I fell into shortly after getting it was forgetting that I had other weapons. Once I started using the appropriate weapon for the situation, things started to go a lot easier.

There are a couple of spots in Nar Shaddaa where it appears that you really have nowhere to go. Finding your way through them can be very challenging (if not downright frustrating) at times. Nonetheless, I managed to run the gauntlet and am now in a massive garbage disposal facility.

Okay, so for the less up-to-speed of us…what’s the difference between a Dark Jedi and a Sith?

Actually, “Dark Jedi” is a bit of a misnomer. See, Jedi and Sith are two sides of the same coin; both are religions devoted to The Force, one to the Light Side (Jedi) and the other to the Dark (Sith).

“Dark Jedi” are individuals who are able to use The Force, but do not subscribe to either the Jedi or Sith dogmas (thus the misnomer). They typically use Dark Side powers that true Jedi shun (shooting lightning from their fingers, choking a dude) but have not been indoctrinated into the Sith religion (or cult, if you will).

It’s kind of like having mutant powers and being a big jerk but Magneto hasn’t invited you to join the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants and for some inexplicable reason people call you a Dark X-Man.
