Dark Forces: Rebel Agent was an audio drama adaptation by John Whitman of William C. Dietz's book, also called by the same name. This audio drama delves deeper into the narrative of Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II. Peter Moore was the director of the performance, and the production incorporated music from the original movies' soundtrack created by Star Wars composer John Williams.
Kyle Katarn graduates from the Imperial Military Academy and discovers his father was murdered in Soldier for the Empire. While traveling home, he encounters a Rebel operative, uncovers the terrible circumstances of his father's death, and vows to get even.
Now, in Rebel Agent, Kyle uncovers more about his father's discovery in the Valley of the Jedi which ultimately resulted in his demise. Kyle is finally granted the rank of Knighthood as a Jedi, and he is ready to avenge his father's death and prevent the Dark Jedi from seizing control of the energy source beneath the valley.
Kyle states that it has been eight years since the events of Soldier for the Empire, but the canonical timeline indicates a five-year gap.
Similar to the novel, Leia is addressed as Leia Organa Solo, even though she would not be married at the time, despite the aforementioned incorrect dating.
