Since at this point in time, Mara Jade is only an Emperor's Hand and not a full Jedi (or Dark Jedi), she, like Luke, has only lightsaber proficiency. Her secondary weapon, a Sith lanvarok, is a small disc shooter that, once fired, will be guided towards the target (ostensibly through Jade's use of the Force).

i think yes

Or possibly a lock-on missile?

Nice update, Mav.

Sweet update Mav, but the nose of Mara looks merged somehow? It seems to be a bit off, great model whatsoever!

I sortof thought that too - but I have a tendency to nitpick.

The face does look a bit wierd but having come back to this game after about 6 months my expectations are alittle high (mainly from HL2 but thats off topic)

sweet deal Mav, by any chance did the battle of Jabiim comics inspire the repulsor trooper (and the storm commando from Rouge squadron 3 Rebel strike?)

I already posted where the idea for the repulsor trooper came from, and the storm commando was a unit in the Conversion Pack (albeit with a different model), and I just looked it up on Wikipedia from there.

So - not counting Luke and Mara as "full" Jedi, these next two units are going to be the only "real" "new" Jedi units for DTII. I'm going to show two at once, since both of these borrow hero support units from their "predecessors" in the previous iteration of Dark Times. These are of course an homage to (and the only homage, unitwise) the Force Unleashed's expansion pack.

Hero: Galen Marek Weapons: Galen Marek's Lightsaber, Force Push, Force Pummel, Force Repulse, Force Grip
Since the "redeemed" Galen Marek didn't have much of a showing aside from the very last part of The Force Unleashed, he makes an appearance here in his "full" light-side character design, wearing the "Jedi Ceremonial Robe" from that game. His hero support unit is (as last time) the Militia Elite (Rahm Kota's hero support as well).

Hero: Sith Stalker Weapons: Lord Starkiller's Lightsaber, Force Push, Force Lightning, Force Crush, Sith Strike
This, on the other hand, represents the hypothetical dark-side Starkiller that showed up in The Force Unleashed's expansion. Yes, I know he isn't technically called the Sith Stalker, but that is his name here. His hero support unit is the Stormtrooper Commander (Darth Vader's hero support).

Neither of these are "canonically" present in this time period, but I like the character design of both and I figure if we can deal with having Darth Maul show up in the CW era, we can deal with these two "Infinities" characters showing up here.

That's just awesome! That's even better than Darth Maul in CW.

That.Sith.Stalker.Is.Pure.Awesomness.

Yeah, Galen is looking pretty stylish in his new garbs, nice models Mav'!

Speaking of clothes, I have a question about the Rebels, just out of curiosity, are you keeping their current skins (Militia uniforms) or are you changing them back to the stock versions?

Awesome models, Mav! Love them.

Sith Stalker! I love your Sith Stalker, it looks pretty perfect, perhaps the helmet could be a little thinner? Other than that brilliant.

cool new models can't wait to play this

Or jango

1337 update!

For some reason the sith stalker in the first screen reminds me of Darth Malak, even though their faces were completely different, the Stalker's lightsabre hilt also looks leet.

the sithe stalker looks like malak
