When they finally did go multiplayer, it was JK2 which was essentially just Jedi vs Sith. I don't believe they ever made Stormtroopers or anyone else playable characters. I know there were mods for Quake 3 that had stormtroopers, chewie, etc, etc. LucasArts just seemed to be stuck in this mentality of trying to make all the games fit into continuity. That is until Masters of Teris Kasi, which they had to wedge continuity into.

Dark Forces 2 had MP, it was just hard to use unless you had an MSN Zone account.
Plus, JK2 was good in the end - countless mods.
