Star Wars Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast
Source: Steam
The second time gamers caught up with Kyle Katarn in the Jedi Knight series was the best one. This first-person shooter game followed Katarn, a former Jedi turned mercenary working for the New Republic, as he works to regain the powers of the Force. Along the way, Luke Skywalker himself offers Kyle his lightsaber in exchange for the completion of several trials.
In addition to Luke, there are several familiar faces from the Star Wars universe that make an appearance as Kyle returns to the Force, frees Lando Calrissian from nefarious ne'er-do-wells, and unravels an intergalactic plot. Just an average day for Kyle Katarn.

Plus, you get to explore Jabba the Hutt's space yacht, the planet Coruscant, and a variety of other locations all in the name of stopping the Imperial Dark Trooper project, spearheaded by General Rom Mohc. It's a fantastic introduction to Star Wars shooters and remains one of the best to this day.
