    The game's story features a blend of familiar Star Wars elements, allowing players to learn various force abilities while undertaking missions for iconic characters like Luke and Kyle. Players can choose to align with the light or dark side, promoting replayability, though the narrative is described as decent but lacking depth compared to titles like "Knights of the Old Republic." Overall, the storyline is engaging enough to keep players absorbed, despite some criticism regarding its execution and AI.

    • “The mission culminates with the player having the choice of embracing either the light or dark side of the force, which allows for multiple plays of the single-player mission.”
    • “This game is fun, and it's easy to get absorbed into the intense missions and the storyline.”
    • “While you start off at the academy, don't get settled in as you're soon off to other worlds to complete missions, everywhere from Hoth to good old Tatooine!”
    • “Horrible storyline.”
    • “Most of the missions you go on, you go alone with no one to help you.”
    • “Storyline is decent.”

    • “The character models are poorly designed and the environments look bland and uninspired.”
