Plot

See also: Plot of Star Wars Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II

Mysteries of the Sith is set five years after the events of Star Wars Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II. The story continues from the "light side" ending of Dark Forces II. Kyle Katarn is now a Jedi Master and has taken on Mara Jade as his apprentice. Like Katarn, Jade is a former member of the Galactic Empire, but joined the New Republic to become a Jedi Knight.

The game begins in a New Republic outpost where Katarn is training Jade, when Imperial forces attack the base. The player takes control of Katarn to defend the base from the stormtroopers and get to the command center. Once there, it is revealed that an evacuation cannot take place because of bombardment by large weapons from two nearby asteroids. Katarn leaves Jade behind as he travels to the asteroids to destroy them.

After this section of the game, the player takes control of Jade. Katarn reveals that he has discovered information as to the whereabouts of a Sith temple on Dromund Kaas. He leaves for the temple and in the meantime Jade must take on new assignments for the Republic and continue her studies of the Force.

Jade completes her missions for the Republic, but hears that Katarn has broken contact. She heads to Dromund Kaas to try and find out what has happened to him. At the temple she discovers that Katarn has been corrupted by the power of the dark side located within the temple. Failing to convince him to turn back, Jade battles him in a lightsaber duel which finally turns him away from the dark path, as she disengages her lightsaber and he finds he cannot go through with killing her.

Famous quotes containing the word plot:

    “We have defined a story as a narrative of events arranged in their time-sequence. A plot is also a narrative of events, the emphasis falling on causality. “The king died and then the queen died” is a story. “The king died, and then the queen died of grief” is a plot. The time sequence is preserved, but the sense of causality overshadows it.”
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)

    “Ends in themselves, my letters plot no change;
    They carry nothing dutiable; they won’t
    Aspire, astound, establish or estrange.”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    “The plot! The plot! What kind of plot could a poet possibly provide that is not surpassed by the thinking, feeling reader? Form alone is divine.”
    —Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
