Movie Duels: Recreating Star Wars Scenes in Jedi Academy (Part 1)

A comparison of some cutscenes that aim to recreate scenes from the Star Wars movies and shows in Jedi Academy (2003).

How do we make them?
Using the same tools used to make the Jedi Academy campaign. We use community-made maps, models, animations and extract audio from the movies. With these assets, we closely follow the movie footage and try to mimic the camera angles and actions of the characters through scripting in the Jedi Academy engine.

0:00 - Kenobi - Anakin vs Obi-Wan
1:13 - Revenge of the Sith - Anakin vs Obi-Wan
3:31 - Rebels - Maul vs Obi-Wan
4:10 - Return of the Jedi - Luke vs Vader

Movie Duels is a remastered edition of the original, 2009 “Movie Duels 2” mod for Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy, with updated maps, models, sounds and various other improvements, to bring the mod into the modern age.

By rewarching how was this game years ago, its amazing how the team improve on making this cutscenes in a game from 20 years ago, all of you deserve a big clap.

God damn, this has got to be the most faithful recreation of these scenes I've ever seen! Incredible work, everyone.

I won't lie to you man, seeing these updates literally brings me such a sense of peace. JKA was my favorite game for the longest time, and seeing this sort of mod with such cool implementations of characters, animations, camera movements, etc just bring such nostalgia from when things like JKG were under development and the modding scene had something new every day. Can't wait to play it.

Great work!
Any chances to do Yuuzhan Vong missions, animations and campaigns?
Or Dark Empire, Thrawn Trilogy, Legacy of the Force? 😁

That's another time I see this Kenobi duel in MD, but I can't find how to play it. Which episode does it referred to?

Theres something that I've been wondering ever since this mod was first made.

The Cutscenes in Jedi Acadamy are even if they are old, mostly fluent and work just fine. Your cutscenes are amazing too, but Stuttery sometimes (even though those new cutscenes are very smooth and I'm aware that you're a very small team working on this for free) So I was wondering is it because of the less man power you have for animating stuff like that. Or is there some very outdated developer tool that you can't have, wich they used to make the Cutscenes in JA?

Again your cutscenes and the progress on this mod is amazing truly. I was just wondering how you make the cutscenes and how it differs from the Original JA Devs.
