RIP to William C. Dietz, author of the Dark Forces trilogy of novellas adapting the adventures of Kyle Katarn.

He was also known for writing one of the first Halo novels, Halo: The Flood.

A sprite of Kyle Katarn's gear from LucasArts' Star Wars: Dark Forces level 10, "Jabba's Ship".

There's an armor vest, Kyle's Bryar pistol, a radio on one shoulder... and a strange object shaped like a French Ô with circumflex.

Perhaps Kyle's equipment includes condoms - AKA "French letters", as an English-language euphemism puts it?

Fun fact: In early concept art for #StarWars #JediKnight #DarkForces II, Kyle Katarn had stubble rather than a full beard. In later concept art & storyboards, he still had stubble, but now an undercut was added as well. #darkforcessaga

Here's Cal Kestis rocking both looks in #JediSurvivor. #lucasarts #respawn
