The Knights of The Old Republic story
Bioware developed the original game which released almost 18 years ago. The series spawned three more titles before Obsidian Entertainment took over and continued the storyline. It was based on a comic book series from the iconic universe created by George Lucas. The universe now has 12 mainline movies and countless spinoffs, including live-action and animated TV shows.
The story is set almost 4000 years before the movies, and it showcases the war between Darth Malak’s Sith Army and the Republic. Players could join the Sith or the Jedi depending on the choices they make, which could lean them to the light or dark side of the force. Back in 2003, it was revolutionary to see decisions like these make a massive difference in a game.
