I wish they'd do another Dark Forces. They were just so cool.

Loved Jedi Knight; especially the online multiplayer.

Think they should do something for the pc.

Force Unleashed, they're working on that. We won't see another Jedi Knight game until thats done and dusted, even then its not certain.

My kids love Jedi Academy and my 7 year old son still keeps on asking me almost daily when Forces Unleashed is out.

Personally I'd love them to bring out a follow up to jedi academy whether it be JA2 or perhaps JA on a different engine but I do think they'll miss the opportunity to expand the franchise and go console which is a shame.

last I read was: without a doubt no PC version. Versions for every, every, every other platform from WII to PS3 to XB360 to DS, and whatever.

Finally we have a confirmed reason for why The Force Unleashed will not be released for PC. The producer of Force Unleashed, Cameron Suey, in an interview with Videogamer.com, stated that it would be too hard to develop a game which could satisfy both killer gaming rigs and outdated ones.

“The PC being the gaming platform that it is, someone with a $4,000 high-end system would definitely be able to play the Euphoria, the DMM and really technical elements of the game. But someone with a low-end PC would have a watered down experience, they would have to turn all the settings down and it wouldn’t be the same game,” Suey said.

One might ask why not give the PC version a more scaled down version of the game so that it would reach a wider install base, well Suey says that would not be taking advantage of what the $4,000 rigs can do, so “it’s going to be not as good or only for a select few people.”

However don’t get too down as Suey did have some good things to say about the PC in LucasArt’s future. “That said we’re definitely not out of the PC market. It’s just with our choice for this game, with the known quantity for the consoles, and every console is the same with the same processing power, it made sense for us to develop for those consoles.”

It's the "don't get too down" that makes it Art!

Sounds like utter lunacy-on-a-rampage to me, likely just marketing-speak for "18-month delay - don't know what were up to at all, ..."
