History VideoGame / JediStarfighter

* VillainPedigree: To match the SerialEscalation above, the villains get much more detestable, not to mention rich. [[VideoGame/StarWarsStarfighter The first game]] saw you fighting the Trade Federation in a rather "clean" war, with the bad guys merely trying to annex Naboo and keep the civilians alive. The nameless band of mercenaries they hired, though cold and jeering, saw you as a WorthyOpponent. ''Jedi Starfighter'' has you fighting [[PrivateMilitaryContractor Sabaoth Squadron]], whose wartime tactics boil down to "[[CompleteMonster let's drop a bunch of illegal chemical weapons on people who may or may not be able to defend themselves]] [[ForTheEvulz for a laugh]]."

* FiveFiveFive The outtakes feature Mace advertising a Jedi Starfighter plane rental with the number 1-555-FLY-JEDI.

** In the first game, you couldn't damage landers, and there was only one capital ship in the final level. In this game, you destroy a Trade Federation lander in the first level, several over the course of the game, and you encounter and destroy several capital ships, including three in the last level alone.

* TheProudElite[=/=]MegaCorp: Adi hangs a lampshade over the [[Characters/StarWarsSeparatistAlliance Separatist Alliance]] being comprised of rich bigwigs like the Commerce Guild and the [=InterGalactic=] Banking Clan. Taken UpToEleven with the Sabaoth Squadron PMC, the vile power-hungry BigBad faction who are rich enough to buy their own mercenary ''fleet'' and whose name translates (from real-life Hebrew) to "hosts of heaven".

** In the first game, all you did was destroy a droid factory and then participate in the Battle of Naboo. In this game, you shut down creation of a biological weapon, hunt down its creators, and then prevent its use in the Battle of Geonosis.

* TheDevTeamThinksOfEverything: One mission features a Saboath Destroyer launching tugs the player must intercept. You may try to destroy it outright, allowing your own tugs to salvage in peace. Cue another Destroyer warping in while the enemy commander laughs maniacally.

* MightyGlacier: Nym's fighter, the ''Havoc''.
** And the LAAT Gunship. Slower than all other ships save for the ''Havoc,'' but it comes with more health, a stronger shield, several limited missiles, and the rechargeable mini-SPHAT lasers that can reduce many ships to scrap in only a couple of seconds. In fact, it alone can make short work of everything but the endgame capital ships.

%%* FragileSpeedster: The appropriately-named ''Zoomer''.

%%* JackOfAllStats: Adi's eponymous starfighter.

%%* EvilBrit: Cavik Toth. (Though, given the setting, he's likely an Evil [[FantasyCounterpartCulture Coruscanti]])

%%* HilariousOuttakes: One of the unlockable extras.

* PutOnABus: Rhys Dallows, protagonist from the previous game, is never even mentioned in this game, or seen again in the Star Wars Universe for that matter. Vana almost seems like she, too, has vanished, but ultimately, it's averted. She shows up in Nym's final mission, before going after Reti.

* EvilBrit: Cavik Toth. (Though, given the setting, he's likely an Evil [[FantasyCounterpartCulture Coruscanti]])

* FragileSpeedster: The appropriately-named ''Zoomer''.

* HilariousOuttakes: One of the unlockable extras.
* JackOfAllStats: Adi's eponymous starfighter.

* ShoutOut: Complete the right secondary and hidden objectives, and you can fly an X-wing, a TIE fighter, or the ''Slave I''.

* TheProudElite: Adi hangs a lampshade over the Separatists being comprised of rich bigwigs like the Commerce Guild and the [=InterGalactic=] Banking Clan. Taken UpToEleven with the Sabaoth PMC, the vile power-hungry BigBad faction who are rich enough to buy their own mercenary ''fleet'' and whose name translates (from real-life Hebrew) to "hosts of heaven".

It's the eve of the Clone Wars. You are Adi Gallia, a Jedi Master charged with the task of investigating Separatist actions. Or you are Nym, a Feeorin mercenary. Well, actually, it depends on the level. You can also be two other characters if you're player 2.

* EvilBrit: Cavik Toth. (Though, given the setting, he's likely an Evil [[FantasyCounterpartCulture Coruscanti]]

* BigBulkyBomb: The unlockable Advanced version of the ''Havoc'' can charge up one called the Plasma Scourge.

* EasterEgg: ''[[VisualPun Literal]]'' Easter Eggs are hidden in Mount Merakan.

* VerbThis: From the third level, after blowing up the second Troop Transport: "Transport ''this''.

* OldSchoolDogfighting: The last two bosses are this, although you can nail the first with your KillSat if you're lucky.

* BlackAndWhiteMagic: Averted. Force lightning and Force shockwave are clearly darkside powers, but Adi doesn't mind using them.
* CoolStarship: Duh. There's the Jedi Starfighters themselves, Reti's ship, the ''Zoomer'', Nym's bomber, the ''Havoc'', Jinkins' ''Freefall'', the Mere (as in the dominant sentients of Maramere) Heavy Cruisers (Tritus, Kethor, and two unnamed), the Sabaoth fighters, the Sabaoth Destroyers, and the Hex Deployers.

* EvilBrit: Gavik Toth.

* StuffBlowingUp: It's a ''Star Wars'' game, what else were you expecting?

* VillainousBreakdown: Cavik Toth experiences this during the final level

* EvilBrit: But it ''is'' ''StarWars''.
