Wow, nearly 100k views. And it’s only taken 3 years! Haha, thanks guys. I would like to say I did NOT make this movie. Any and all credit goes straight to eaglestriker147 for making this. I am merely putting it up for your enjoyment. This is the first part of eaglestriker’s Chistmas edition of his Star Wars Jedi Knight: jedi academy re-edited videos. This is what he has to say about it. Comments – This 10 minute vid contains cutscenes and usermade footage from Jedi Academy, and as the title suggests, they are edited. It has more of a storyline than the previous “Beyond” episode. Here are the differences – (dont read on if you want to be surprised) *The Feud between the Bully and Mr C. Jedi begins *Kidnapping *Jaden on Hoth *Kyle and Luke fall out *Behold – the Rocketman! *Luke gets a few things off his chest. *Death to the Annoying One *Rosh’s Rescue *The Christmas Carol Singers from Tatooine Credits – Thanks to the people mentioned in the credits and all the JK3Files team.

Life in the Fast Lane – Xmas Gifts That Will Drive You Wild

Christmas should be a time of happiness and joy; above all a time for giving. But how many of you spend the weeks leading up to the big day in a whirlwind of stress and anxiety? Christmas shopping is a nightmare, even for the most festive Christmas elves out there. The worst bits of it is that after all that effort, how many people actually like and appreciate the Xmas gifts they receive on the 25th?

Same old same old?
It’s no surprise that most of us resort to some old favourite Xmas gifts when things start getting desperate in the last few days before Christmas. Given the choice, would you spend another three hours staggering around the crowded shops, elbows at the ready, or just settle for the usual old gems – the Christmas box of choccies, the beauty box of soaps and shower gels, the generic bottle of wine that is sure to not be too bad? You know it’s a bit of a cop out, but you’re not sure what else to get them and you’re getting panicky.

Time for a change
This year, why not make your Xmas gifts go off with a bang, rather than just falling down like a lead balloon? There are so many different personalised or just plain exciting Xmas Gifts out there that it’s a shame to let them go to waste. Even better, you don’t have to spend your Saturday trawling the shops to find these little gems. They are all available at a click of a mouse. Xmas gifts without the stress? That sounds too good to be true, surely? Think again. This year, move out of the Christmas traffic jam on the high streets and move into the Xmas gifts fast lane!

Or why not get personal and give someone special a personalised gift, made just for them? Personalised calendars or diaries for the next year will give them something to remind them 365 days a year how much you care. Xmas gifts are often all about having a good time, so choose one of the fun Xmas gifts and let your loved ones amuse themselves playing jokes on each other (not you of course!) and having a laugh. If it’s more about getting merry, then you can still make their wishes come true in a slightly more unique way. Why not make the effort and give them a personalised bottle of their favourite tipple? Whether it is whisky or wine, there is the gift out there for you.

For the person who just won’t stop complaining…

There are lots of exciting Xmas gifts to get anyone’s heart rate going, whether they are a wannabe action man or just the next Lewis Hamilton hopeful. Choose from the range of experience days on offer, including racing days driving a Formula One Ferrari round Silverstone or jumping out of a plane at 13,000 feet. For the less energetic of us, there are other ways of getting us excited. Grumpy teenage girls will love the chance for a professional photo shoot and why not give your difficult aunty and uncle a vineyard tasting tour for two?
