GameSpy has a Jedi Academy Q and A with Lead Designer Christopher Foster and Lead Artist Les Dorscheid .

GameSpy: If you're frustrated and can't beat a mission, will you be able to quit that one and choose another?
Les Dorscheid: Yeah.
Christopher Foster: And, by the time you're done, it will all form a story.
Les Dorscheid: You can do missions: 1, 2, 4, 3, and you'll still conclude with a satisfying ending.

GameSpy: Will missions change based on the missions you've done?
Christopher Foster: No, not exactly. It will change based on choices you directly make.

GameSpy: And those choices lead you to the Dark or Light side?
Christopher Foster: Exactly.
