  Jedi Knight - Wookieepedia, the Star Wars Wiki
Once a Padawan had passed the Jedi Trials, he or she was knighted by the Jedi Council and commissioned as an active member of the Jedi Order, free to participate in intergalactic peace-keeping, judicial, and diplomatic affairs.
Another notable example of New Jedi Order methods is Jaden Korr, who was knighted when he was told by means of an informal conversation with Luke Skywalker and Kyle Katarn, that Skywalker and Katarn had decided to promote Korr to the level of Jedi Knight due to his performance on Vjun.
Their knighting ceremony was a public spectacle held in the Great Temple in front of the assembled New Jedi Order and representatives of the New Republic and included a lightsaber salute from the current knights and a ballad of their deeds from Tionne.

 Jedi census phenomenon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Jedi census phenomenon was a grassroots movement in 2001 for citizens in a few English-speaking countries to record their religion as "Jedi" or "Jedi Knight" (after the fictitious religious order of Force-attuned knights in the Star Wars films) on the national census.
Jedi is still not recognised as an "official" religion in any nation where the movement took place, and in fact there is no such concept in the United Kingdom.

 Star Wars: Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II - Wookieepedia, the Star Wars Wiki

The concept of the Valley of the Jedi was merged with later retcons made with the release of The Phantom Menace which demanded the Sith to have been lost and secret after a battle, and 'created' the Battle of Ruusan.

 Action Vault - Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast Intelligence Report
The sequel to the popular Dark Forces II, Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast shows the return of Katarn in the upcoming first and third person action game set in the Star Wars universe.
Although Jedi Knight II is actually the third installment in the Dark Forces series, the latter name seems to have been dropped.
Positives: The fact that Jedi Knight II is based in the Star Wars universe alone will draw numerous fans and other prospective consumers to the title.

 snopes.com: Jedi Religion in Australia
Officials said on Thursday there was "absolutely no possibility" of Jedi appearing as a choice of religion on future census forms after officials created a code for Jedi to help them analyze responses to the 2001 population survey.
The Office of National Statistics simply assigned the response "Jedi Knight" a numeric code to simplify the process of tabulating census results, as is typically done when many people answer a question by writing in a response not offered as a choice on the census form.
This no more means that Jedi is an "official" religion than the election bureau's assigning a numeric code to "Mickey Mouse" (who usually receives at least several hundred write-in votes in every major election) means that a cartoon rodent is a qualified candidate for political office.

The stakes are high, as Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast attempts to put together both a compelling single-player game, as well as a full-featured multiplayer offering in the box.
Jedi Knight 2 is no exception, as it is relatively fast, looks stunning, and the OpenGL implementation is stable and compatible.
While Jedi Knight 2 is mostly billed as a first person shooter, it can be played from a third person camera as well, which works surprisingly well.

 AVault | PC | Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast Review   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Eight years have passed since the end of Jedi Knight, in which the gruff mercenary turned Jedi Kyle Katarn avenged his father’s murder and defeated the evil Jerec in the very heart of the mystical Valley of the Jedi.
Whereas Kyle only had to face off against a handful of Dark Jedi in his previous encounter with the Force, he now must contend with a small army of saber-wielding evil-doers, nearly all of whom seem to be focused on reducing him to a smoking mass of midichlorians.
Even one as powerful as a Jedi can occasionally make use of mundane weaponry, and as a mercenary, it’s something that the embattled Katarn knows all too well; featuring 12 different and distinct weapons, Kyle’s lethal arsenal is certainly nothing to sneeze at.

 GameSpy.com - Preview
After the success of Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast, it seemed inevitable that the popular first-person shooter series set within the Star Wars universe would continue in some form.
One of the biggest changes in store for Jedi Academy is that you won't be playing mercenary-turned-Jedi Kyle Katarn this time around, as in the previous three installments (not counting the Jedi Knight: Mysteries of the Sith expansion pack).
Jedi Academy will also have lots of special moves available, including spins, tumbles, saber throws, and a unique move accomplished by pressing the primary and secondary fire modes at the same time.

 Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy - Ferrago
When Jedi Outcast was released to considerable critical and financial acclaim early last year, it seemed inevitable that Raven and LucasArts would reprise their partnership and generate a hasty sequel.
Jaden is also more agile than previous Jedi, being able to leap from walls, attack straight from a knock down and possessing all manner of acrobatic specials.
Jedi Academy is a well worked and thoughtful sequel, and Raven have taken care to address the issues raised by Outcast.

Jedi Knight had fast-paced action and a little dash of role-play, which was relatively new to the FPS genre, not to mention stellar graphics and terrific capture of the Star Wars mood.
In the original he is a mercenary turned Jedi sought to avenges the death of his father.
There is also the Heavy Repeater, the son of the Repeater from the original Jedi Knight, which reminds me of the chain gun in Doom; a quick squeeze of the trigger unleashes a hundred rounds a minute all the while cackling like a evil maniac.

 Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy for PC Review - PC Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy Review
Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy is the third game in the series, or, technically, the fourth if you count 1995's Dark Forces, which didn't bear the Jedi Knight name (and didn't let you use lightsabers or Force powers, either).
It is not a revolutionary product--as it uses the same Quake III engine and gameplay elements as last year's well-received Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast.
Perhaps the best improvement in Jedi Academy over Jedi Knight II is that it grants you your lightsaber and Force powers at the very start of the game.

The Valley is the heart of the book: Dark Jedi Jerec wants to harness its concentration of the Force for his dreams of interstellar domination; and the Jedi Rebels want to protect it or destroy it before it falls into the Empire's hands.
In the end, Jedi Knight is a short novel of epic proportions that neatly ties up the many threads presented in Dietz's first two installments (Soldier for the Empire and Rebel Agent).
Jedi Knight, while still not as good as Soldier for the Empire, is a definte improvement over Rebel Agent.

Jedi Academy has everything you'd expect from a Star Wars action game: brilliant character voicing, rich sounds that stay true to the movie trilogy, and an extensive range of classic tunes done by composer John Williams.

LucasArt's Jedi Outcast: Jedi Knight II furthers the story of Kyle Katarn, with you, once again, at the helm.
LucasArts later released the sequel to Dark Forces, Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II where players once again took on the role of Katarn, but this time around players not only got to use the almighty lightsaber -- an item which was noticeably absent from the first game, but force powers as well.
Using the Quake III Arena engine has the backbone of the project, Jedi Outcast: Jedi Knight II showed off some pretty cool effects and gameplay features, even though it was only one level.

The original Jedi Knight is one of my all time favourite games, scoring highly on the criteria I use to assess such matters.
Being a Jedi should be about wielding the power of the Force, not checking the position of your toes so you can make it over to that next generic crate.
Jedi Knight was an extremely accomplished game that used new technology, offered new gaming experiences and a great control system.
