The game was originally intended to be a direct sequel to Star Wars Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II and for PC, however, after it was believed that the game might not live up to fan expectations of the previous Jedi Knight game, the game was canceled for PC, but instead released for Xbox.

At the end of the credits after completing the game for the first time, an audio clip of Obi-Wan's voice will play, in which he recites a line-for-line parody of a monologue originally performed by Ewan McGregor from the opening scene of the 1996 film "Trainspotting":

"Choose the Force. Choose a job. Choose the Dark Side. Choose the Council. Choose a flubbing big lightsaber. Choose protocol droids, holoprojectors, and R2 units. Choose Watto, Tatooine and Alderaan. Choose fixed-interest credit payments to Sebulba. Choose a Corellian freighter that did the Kessel run in less than twelve parsecs. Choose a Wookiee. Choose sitting in Jabba's throne room, watching mind-numbing dancers, stuffing green chubas into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, disappearing into thin air, nothing more than an embarrassment to the whiny kid you trained on the way to Alderaan. Choose your destiny. Choose the Force. But why would I want to do a thing like that? I chose not to choose the Dark Side. I chose something else. And the reasons? There are no reasons. Who needs reasons when you've got a lightsaber?"

The sound of an activating lightsaber can then be heard before the game returns to the main menu. This secret message cannot be triggered again when replaying the final level. This line choice is also likely a reference to Ewan McGregor being the actor for Obi-Wan Kenobi in the Star Wars prequel trilogy.
