Having trouble coming up with ideas to make levels? Here are some levels that (A) I abandoned (B) I know I won't have the time to do or (C) other editors have submitted. If you want to use one of these ideas I only ask that you do two things. 1. Email me here so I can take the idea out of the list. That way several people don't try making the same level. 2. Give proper credit to the person who generated the idea.
If you have any level ideas you can't or don't want to use please email them to me and I will post them here.

Title: Assault on Dantay 4
By: James Marzec
Status: Available
The remote but heavily-populated world of Dantay Four is in a state of major
crisis. In the past two months, there have been terrorists known only as
'The Dark Spawn' sparking gunfights, inciting riots and ordering bombings
behind a veil of stealth. Their mysterious leader, Vomo-Gann Kaxx, with the
codename 'Dominator', shows no mercy, has no identity and has an apparent
agenda with the people of the planet. When a particularly violent outburst
leaves dozens of innocent Republic tourists slaughtered, Coruscant decides
on sending a major task force to Dantay Four, to wipe out the terrorists any
way they can. The Jedi Council reason with Supreme Chancellor Valorum,
pointing out the number of innocents that may perish as 'collateral damage', and in desperation, Valorum issues an ultimatum; they have two days to unmask Kaxx, defeat the terrorists and return peace to Dantay Four.
The Republic sends two of their best Jedi, Master Dekk Matraan and his
Padawan learner, Sido-Wan Felomar, to Dantay Four in an effort to stop the
real war before it has a chance to begin....

Title: Battle on Nar Shaddaa
By: Matt Morwell
Status: Available
This is derived from the Star Wars book I am currently working on, Facets of the Force, which I fervently hope will be published in the near future.
You once were Nic Briggs, whose life was devoted to galactic freedom from the Empire. Now you are Darth Onslaught, a self-proclaimed Sith Lord who has taken possession of an extremely powerful artificial Force receptor, a Force gem, forged over three millennia ago. This particular force gem is the only one of eight which captures dark power. Your one-time friends and allies are now trying to take the gem back and destroy it, and they are doing so through L'ryen Axinar, a Jedi who has trained in hiding. He has also gained a Force gem, and plans to employ it to his full advantage against you. You encounter Axinar in a grunge town on the bad side of Nar Shaddaa, as well as several brave but foolish civilians who believe your campaign against the galaxy is wrong. While saber-fighting Axinar, you must destroy the civilians who think they can get in your way. Before it is over, your fight will take you aboard a moving hovertrain carrying supplies to another area of town, and your final stand will take place atop a gargantuan building. (Hint: Make Axinar invincible, as he does not die during any part of the book. The object should be to knock him off the building. Try to make weapons available, but make them sparse and hard to find, as well. Axinar carries a silver lightsaber and wears clothes reminiscent of Darth Maul. He also looks like Yun. I have based his appearance on a friend of mine. As for Darth Onslaught, he carries a black lightsaber, looks like Kyle, and wears dark clothing as well.)

You're the head of the security office at the Goverment Building on Correllia (seen in Rogue Squadron) for the New Republic where an important conference is being held. Imperial Commando's have disabled the genarator, in the cellars beneath the building and a massive imperial attack is on it's way! Escape from you're room (all doors are locked due to the disabled power generator). Travel through the airconditioning pipes and re-actived the generator. Then go to the main entrance hall and activate the security devices (such as turrets, which will help you to fight against the Imperial reinforcements). Then get to the main conference room to make sure that the important goverment people are save. If you wish then you can enlarge the episode by letting the imperials capture those important people, so you can go after them.

Title: Assassin: The Price of Life
By: Schaeffer Bonner
Status: Available
You are Yuson Durran a universally famous assassin. You have been hired by the local rebels of Garindan IV to kill their much hated governor and former Moff, Twell Jinj. He will be passing along one of the central streets in his speeder during the annual parade of Chagal. This will be the perfect opportunity to assassinate him since he will have a relatively small escort...
The rebels have already transported you into the city. Once your there you will need to kill a few guards and make your way to a tower along the main road where you will take up your position. The tower could be much like the one in the spaceport Mplayer level. (a few guards outside the tower would spice things up). Once you are inside the tower the parade should start rolling by. Wait until you see the governor on some kind of speeder or skiff then use the scope and... BOOM! Kill him then you will need to shoot your way out of the main road and back to your ship. I would recommend that he should go through a sewer to get back to his ship but it's just a suggestion. This level should emphasize stealth over shooting for the first part of the game (not shooting up the parade). I would also recommend that you put a lot of civilians around to increase the atmosphere of the parade. The scope is essential for assassins as I think we all know. For a full script email the author.

You go around the base eliminating smugglers and looking for the key to the main compound. You find the key in a outlying shed and make your way into the compound killing pirates as you go. After some time and more puzzles you come into Hoer's private quarters where you kill him. After you kill him you make your way a short distance to the top of the building where you are picked up by a shuttle. Another day another 50,000 credits...

Title: Pharaoh's Temple By: Clappy
Status: Available
As you wander through the myriad beauty of the ancient Egyptian temple, you can't help but feel you're being watched... This level starts in a mountainous area and progresses into a maze like temple with many traps. It also has a tomb for the pharaoh, and many treasure rooms.

trainees. Set in a military boot camp setting with a circle shaped platform connected to land by 4 bridges, suspended over water or a pit as the central hub, and various training apparatuses branching out (ropes course, tires, obstacle course, etc.).
Title: Untitled By: Dentath_Q_C
Status: Available
This level idea is intended to create large open spaces for fighting. The level would be Romanesque/Greek looking and be mostly open. A large olive grove with a huge hill at the far end of it(say 100ft tall and impossibly steep) that atop it is a huge parthenon like structure that is supported by many columns and no walls. In the center of the structure is a huge flaming bowl and on it is a switch. This switch is to activate conc. turrets that blast a significant portion of the olive grove to smithereens. This compensates for the space. Behind the structure is a huge stone patio that is perfect for sabering, but if you fall off you will die from the impact with the ground. Ain't gravity grand. You need a huge stair case from the front of the structure to a path that leads to the opposite end of the level where a small collection of small plebian houses are huddled. The level could be great if you had civilians milling about the housing. If you kill one there should be stormies that come after you, say 10 at a time. The level would be great for FF, NF,Sabers only ,or everything goes.
Title: Untitled By: Matt Meagher
Status: In production by Darth_Stephen
It is a huge tall round room...like a silo. There are many catwalks in it that when you stand on one end it starts tipping. There are bounce pads on the floor. On the side there are tunnels that just go out of the room and back in.
Title: Glass House By: WuTaNGKiLLaHBee7
Status: Available
A huge complex made entilrely out of breakable glass. Floors, ceilings, walls, etc. Shattering glass doesn't regenerate and soon most the glass is gone leaving only a few squares to jump around on. This level is best if used with guns.If you fall off the glass, you die. every shot that misses will shatter a square of glass.
Title: Sarlac Pit By: Matt Meagher
Status: Available
Its the Sarlac pit from Return of the Jedi with Jabba's Barge and the two small skiff's hovering around it. You would be able to walk through the barge and jump across the moving skiff's. The Sarlacc could also eat you.
Title: Egyptian Tomb By: Bobafett765
Status: Available
It's basically an underground tomb in Egypt. You'd start out above ground and have to punch out (or kick out if you have the mod) the door to the tomb to get in. However, once you are in, and you die, you can respawn in the tomb or above ground. As you walk in, you see toppled columns and statues (new 3DOs for statues of Egyptian gods hopefully). New sandstone mats would also look nice. There are several rooms as you advance through the tomb. These rooms include the burial chamber, a false burial chamber (maybe with some deadly surprises or traps), treasury, and other rooms with pitfalls and traps. Inside in should be dark, but light enough so you can see the floor under you and your gun in your hand. Outside should have a blue sky with a blazing, hot sun in the background. There should be impassible mountains outside the tomb, so the game would take place mostly in the tomb. Weapon and item placement should be decided by the future author, but for realism, you should have only your bryar, fists, and lightsaber, with no other weapons or items.
Title: Jabba's Palace By: Bobafett765
Status: Available
Someone ought to rent Return of the Jedi and watch the Jabba's palace scenes over and over again. Make the throne room look like it did in the movie. Make it for MotS, so a rancor can be in the pit below Jabba's throne room. Without the rancor, Jabba's palace just doesn't feel the same. If any future author was a really hard worker, they'd make an outside landscape too (not the entire desert, but a little bit around the outside of the palace). Now, a version with enemies (besides rancor), would be quite interesting for multiplayer. Gamorreans, grans, rodians, and Boba Fett (new enemy???) would make this MP level truly interesting. Other people, Bib Forutna, Jabba, Leia, and Salacious Crumb could either be just new 3DOs, or have AI.
Title: Giant Kyle By: sdrawkcaB
Status: Available
A level with an extremely over sized Kyle 3do which has ben hollowed out so people can walk throughout his body and fall out. Of course the ground would be flagged so it doesn't hurt when falling.
Title: The Cliffs of Insanity By: Bonnie Workman
Status: In production by Is_907
Ever see The Princess Bride? If you have then you surely remembor the Cliffs of Insanity Duel between the Spaniard and the main character! The Cliffs of Insanity would be the ultimate dueling level if anyone takes the time to make it.
Title: Roman Coliseum By: Matthew Meagher
Status: In production by ChiaPet
It is set in a place like the Roman Coliseum. One players takes the position of the referee and sits in a room watching the fights. The rest of the players remain in the fighting area. In the fighting area there are doors all around. The referee has various buttons that can let loose different types of enemies such as; stormtroopers, kell dragons, dark Jedi. The referee could also make the fighters just fight against each other. There would also be a few rooms that the referee could open that would allow access to certain guns and armor.
Title: Palace of Doom By: Bobafett765
Status: Available
This is a large multiplayer level set in a palace. Every player but player 1 starts outside the main gate. Player 1 starts out in the palace an is the king. He can control the whole palace by monitoring video surveillance screens, triggering defenses such as turrets that pop out from the ceiling, opening the main gate, etc. If player 1 would rather make it challenging for others to get in, he may. Then, the others must find another way in. If the people are playing with any grappling hook mod, they could grapple right over the gate. If not, they can storm the guard tower. They can enter the guard tower from the outside, and exit behind the main gates, therefore penetrating the palace. The palace could either have guards, or no guards, either way would prove to be fun. The palace should be REALLY big, with about 10 floors and each floor being quite large. There should be many secrets, traps, and surprises inside. Player 1 is safe in his office...kind of. If the window on his top-floor office is broken, another player could use a grappling hook to get in. However, player 1's office also has an arsenal of weapons inside. Whoever makes this level would have to really be good, and really put a lot of time into it to make it good. Teamplay would make the game interesting, in which once you change to a team, you cannot change back, and the ones on player 1's team would respawn in his\her office once he\she died.
MikeC's Note: You might also consider making this something like the Kill the Fool levels in MotS. You would get more points the longer you are the King.
Title: Your2Small! By: TSM_CrOc11
Status: Available
This medium level takes place in a living room, where you are the size of a mouse! As you run around killing your opponents there is a TV stand with a TV VCR and anything else like radios. On the floor in the corner there will be a vent which pushes you through the air into the opponents room or somewhere else in the room. You can actually have a CTF going on in the level. Just have two rooms just the same but at the top of each TV stand there will be the flag. You go flying off the TV and/or anything else and run under the door into the next room. The vent can be leading to that room too. There could be a fan or a light at the top of the level too!
Title: X-Men Mansion By: Plasma Man
Status: Available
The X-Men Mansion from the X-Men movie. It should include the outdoor area where all the students play. And it should include classrooms, medical lab, bedrooms, dormrooms, and the hangar for the Blackbird, garage, kitchen, map room, Cerebus room, and ready room.
Title: Studio Madness
By: Corey Garst
Status: NewA TV studio building. It includes sets from well known shows: sitcoms, game shows, and such. It could prove to have some interesting RPGing.
Title: The Island of Jenrix By: beta_tester
Status: New
You are on an island that has a volcano at the top, and a statue to the man who stopped a flood, his name can be something like Jenrix. There is a village with a lot of huts. One of the huts is huge because it is where the tribe meets in council. Inside would be a platform for the chief to sit on, taller than it is wide, and a switch at the rear of the platform that would open a trap door in front of the platform. The other huts would have various secrets. The volcano would have lava that explodes when you shoot it and a "turret" that shoots lava up about every 15 seconds. There would be a catwalk across the lava to fight on, and of course you would die the second you fall into the lava. Then the statue would look like a guy in the pose that they always take in dragon ball, where they are hunched over with arms out in front of them and at the elbows they go up and with clinched fists, except this one would have its head raised and mouth open. There would be a spot where, when you jump it makes you go higher so you can jump in the mouth. There would be a switch in the mouth that, when pressed, a message would say, "And Jenrix screamed at the fiery mountain, and it rained lava down to evaporate the flood!" and then it would make force destruction come down a lot of places on the island, but not in the hut area. You would be able to jump into one of the knees, like a door you could go in but it wouldn't be a visible hole, and when you press the switch in there it would say "And Jenrix stomped his feat and the Earth opened up and swallowed the waters!" and here and there the ground would open really quickly so, if you were standing on it, you would fall through. It would have to open right when the message started, not after, otherwise people could move, and then the ground closes again.
