Deathstar Rescue

---

Deathstar was a partnered map by myself and Eike Legion, another mapper for Jedi Academy. Eike supplied me with parts and textures and I worked to improve the map for large numbers of players.
Many areas of the map had too much detail, resulting in low frames per second for players. I was able to reduce the level of detail yet still keep the map looking well done. The map contains many areas seen in the movie such as the Tractor Beam room, Detention Block, Garbage Compacter, Falcon Hangar and the hallways where Ben Kenobi and Darth Vader dueled.
The objective for this map has the rebels starting in the Detention block and the Imperials in the Falcon hangar. Rebels must escort an NPC (Non Player Character) to the Falcon hangar to escape. Imperials must stop/kill her before she reaches the safety of the Falcon. At the time the first version of the map released there was no Leia model. A different model from the game was used. The second version was able to fully complete the authentic scene as a model was finally released.
