The details are somewhat hazy, but iirc, in Oblivion, you could re-enter a gate multiple times until you got to one specific tower where you could just jump up on the outside and then drop down a couple of levels on the inside. Took only a couple of minutes to close the gate that way, and you only ever had to do that one variant.
In Jedi Academy, you could pick which mission you wanted to do next among five missions, but you had to do at least four of the five. Some of the missions just plain sucked. If you saved before finishing the fourth mission, quit the game and restarted, you could pick among the good ones again.
