I was digging through my geek memories today and I came up with several cool facts about JK (and MotS) that are not mentioned anywhere in the game. Have fun :)


 * The Valley of the Jedi is located on a planet, which is simply called "Planet of the Jedi" in the game. Its actual name is Ruusan. The Valley itself is the site where a great battle took place between the armies of the Jedi and the Sith (many centuries ago). Their souls were all trapped into the Valley, creating an incredibly powerful nexus of Force power. It could be very dangerous in the wrong hands...
 * Jerec is not just an ordinary dark Jedi - he is an Inquisitor, trained to use the Force to torture and interrogate prisoners.
 * Morgan Katarn's death was initially blamed on the Rebels, which led Kyle to hate the Rebellion and be even more loyal to the Empire. He found out the truth when he met Jan, but he couldn't bring himself to join the Rebel cause, so he became an indepedent mercenary.
 * Lightsaber colors depend on the focusing crystal used in their construction. Blue, green, yellow, orange and purple lightsabers are built with natural crystals. The Sith's red lightsabers, however, are made with synthetic crystals. Creating your own crystal is a part of a Sith's training.
 * (MotS) Mara Jade was initially a dark Jedi trained by the Emperor himself. After his death, she was a smuggler for a while. Then she decided to become a real Jedi, converted to the Light side, and started training under Kyle Katarn.
 * (MotS) It is not known who exactly built the Sith temple on Dromund Kaas, but it is known that it was most active while it was inhabited by the Prophets of the Dark Side - a nasty group of Sith, founded by Darth Millennial, who worship the Dark Side (it's a cult of sorts). The temple itself is so saturated with darkness and evil that some pretty unnatural things happen inside... in fact, the entire planet is steeped in a dark aura, which has some effects on the gameplay (you'll see when the time comes).
 * (MotS) One of Jerec's followers, Sariss, lived at the Dromund Kaas temple during her childhood.

Little bits of trivia are what makes Star Wars games even more enjoyable :)
