10 cancelled Star Wars games which never saw a release

2. Star Wars: Jedi Knight III – Brink of Darkness

The first Jedi Knight game was something of a masterpiece: it followed the exploits of mercenary Kyle Katarn, who would later become a Jedi. The first-person shooting bits were fun (mind the cheesy full motion video though), but once you got a lightsaber in your hands this offered some of the best gameplay of the 90’s. Its sequel Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast was just as good: its combination of lightsaber combat and force powers might remind you of the more recent Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order game.

It’s a pity, then, that another Jedi Knight game isn’t getting made… This is because Star Wars: Jedi Knight III – Brink of Darkness was cancelled. Jedi Knight III was meant to be a conclusion to the adventures of protagonist Kyle Katarn in a galaxy far away, but LucasArts decided to axe the project. The reason being that Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy, an earlier game in which Katarn appears as a non-playable character, turned out to be a success. So Lucas & company decided to focus on that Star Wars game series instead.
