Well, I guess out of all the tragic news of Disney's buyout of Lucas Arts and then shuttering the game studio, there had to be some blip of good news...

In tribute to the doomed studio, Raven Software has finally released the source code for Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy under a GNU GPLv2 license.

Raven is sad to hear about the closing of LucasArts today, we respected them and enjoyed working with them over the years. We wish the best for all the talented people who were let go and hope they find good work in studios in the industry... We loved and appreciated the experience of getting to make Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy for LucasArts. As a gift to the persistently loyal fanbase for our Jedi games and in memory of LucasArts, we are releasing the source code for both games for people to enjoy and play with.

Hmm. It seems to be completely missing, actually. Does anyone know where copies of this went? Damn, I feel like I missed out.

Does this mean we'll be able to have lightsabres in :q3: now?

(I'd have to get a PC that can run :q3: again, but anyway...)
