Star Wars: Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast demo

Star Wars: Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast had a demo version which contained a single, unique level; an Imperial base Kyle Katarn must infiltrate.

Plot synopsis
This demo contained an original level, where Kyle Katarn and Jan Ors investigate an Imperial Remnant base on Alzoc III, the Talz home planet. Kyle is dropped off hidden in a cargo crate by Jan flying the Raven's Claw. He then enters the base, fighting off stormtroopers and Imperial officers. Meanwhile, Jan gets surrounded by Imperials and Kyle has to rush to reach her. En route he confronts a Reborn that tries to stop him with no luck.

Main characters

 * Kyle Katarn; New Republic operative/Jedi Knight (male Human)
 * Jan Ors; New Republic operative (female Human)

Behind the scenes

 * The demo is unlockable in the Xbox and Gamecube versions of Jedi Knight II by simply entering the word "DEMO" in the cheat menu.
 * It is uncertain when this demo is set. The opening scroll places it 8 years after the Battle of Endor. This scroll is identical to that of Jedi Outcast except for the final paragraph. As Outcast has since been placed elsewhere, it is likely this is also not the correct setting for this mission. Currently the mission is placed in 13 ABY on this wiki as a bridge between the two arcs of the Empire Reborn campaign.
 * The sound files used in this level, included scripted dialogue are all lifted from various points in the full game.

Explanations

 * The demo uses an original level to showcase lightsaber combat/Force powers, as in the early levels of Star Wars: Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast, Kyle does not use a lightsaber. Some claimed Dark Forces II was "just like every other FPS, until you [got] your lightsaber." It is likely that a demo that did not showcase the game's primary selling point would effect negatively on sales and was hence avoided.
