Join Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Boba Fett, Princess Leia, Chewbacca, plus a few surprise characters in a Star Wars environment like you've never experienced.

Opening crawl

Prologue

A MASTER OF TERAS KASI 

After the stunning defeat and loss of the Death Star
handed to the Galactic Empire, the Emperor demands
drastic measures for a swift retribution against the
Rebel Alliance.

The Emperor calls upon the services of a mysterious
young woman, Arden Lyn, wise in the ways of an ancient
and almost forgotten fighting art know as teras kasi.

Under the watchful eye of Darth Vader, Arden Lyn
is assigned the duty of eliminating key members
of the Rebel Alliance and thus neutralizing the
thorn in the Empire's side. But the Alliance hears
of this threat and the prepare for battle...

Development

During the time of its conception, the game was a joint project of Lucasarts with fighting game giant developer Capcom. The project was eventually dropped; Capcom's work with them would result in them creating their first 3D game inspired by the series, Star Gladiator.

Critical reception

The game, while a welcome concept at the time of its release, was not well received. Some complaints include an inferior fighting engine, an improper usage of lightsabers and unbalanced characters. Despite this however, the game introduced new concepts to the Expanded Universe such as Teräs Käsi and Arden Lyn herself.

Screwattack rated the game the 10th worst fighting game in their top ten worst fighting games.

Eventually the concept would have been revisited in a now-cancelled untitled fighting game but finally was with the inclusion of Darth Vader, Yoda and Galen Marek in Soulcalibur IV.
