The Jedi always deceive. Always.

I'm still waiting for KOTOR 2 to show up on steam.... and TOR of course!

KOTOR 2's starting two and a half hours were so boring, I never finished the game. KOTOR 1, I think, has much better story and atmosphere.

And there are only 3 Star Wars movies. Also Han shot first. Period.

Star Wars KOTOR and KOTOR 2 are the greatest games ever invented, to me they are the REAL prequals.

So for thousands of years the technology in the Star Wars universe has stagnated the entire time? That why we get lightsabres in KOTR (thousands of years before Old Republic) and lightsabres in Return of the Jedi? And spacestations in between? Perhaps I don't understand the universe, actually I don't besides the first three movies. Just a thought that I had.

For the most part Star Wars is not about technollogy, its not like Star Trek where a large part of the stories are about the tech, in Star Wars its just there to get you from point A to point B, not about technical realism, think of it like Medieval times mixed with the Wild West mixed with WW2 in space.

In terms of technology, I suppose it does stagnate. Space travel and hyperspace seems to have been around for a very long time in the Star Wars universe, so most technological progress seems to have been merely improving on ancient technology rather than innovating. The major advancement in Star Wars would probably be navigation, since discovering hyperspace routes is done by hit or miss. The known galaxy is much larger during the era of the Empire than the era of KOTOR.

I don't think lightsabers should represent the growth of technology in the Star Wars universe though. The prequels screwed everything up. In fact, I like to completely disregard them and continue to look at the Star Wars universe from before they were released. Lightsabers have always been known to be an ancient weapon, and it makes sense that they would be in abundance during the period of KOTOR. Throughout the three original movies though, we only see three different lightsabers. Yoda and Emperor Palpatine never even show or have theirs, which in a way proves that they are no longer important.

But in the prequels, which only take place about 30-40 years before the events of "A New Hope", there are thousands of lightsabers in use. Many speculate that George Lucas did that in attempt to make a purely visual show and ended up in dumbing down the meaning of a lightsaber, which in the dying days of the Republic were supposed to be more of a status item than a weapon. The whole visual style of the prequels imply that the days of the Old Republic were more advanced than the days of the Empire, but I think that's a result of George Lucas and the new technologies of film-making.

The technology and style of KOTOR would have been more fitting for the prequels, it reflects the "civilized age" that Obi-Wan refers to without looking too advanced in comparison to the era of the Galactic Civil War. KOTOR should look even "older", but it did a good job of portraying how the universe would be during that time period.

Lucas just wanted more action, the reason the original trilogy didn't revolve around action as much as because it actually had a story.

Interestingly enough, I almost fell asleep during Episode 1. Waiting for the end to come. That never happened while I was watching the original trilogy. I don't remember a lot of action from it...I don't remember much from it though, since I didn't enjoy it.

I've tried watching Star Wars movies several times, but i never could keep awake, and always fell asleep dont know how or why, but it's like becoming a rule.

Go watch RedLetterMedias videos, and go get candy or popcorn because the reviews are long and epic.

He explains it perfectly, but to put it short the prequals tried overexplaining everything and had flawed logic and dull characters.

This game has really been a time vampire so far ... but it's a ton of fun! Just became a Jedi and made my own light saber.

This thread is evil. It made me go back and start a whole new character again.

But I just can't be evil in these Star Wars games. When the option comes to kill some nice old lady instead of give her a cookie, I always give her a cookie. Anyone here do an entirely evil character?

I tried the evil ending once. Got bored on the planet right before the last mission and ...

Spoiler!

Joined with Bastilla, killed Jolee and the Cathar at the Ratatta temple. Went to the Ebon Hawk, killed all who resisted (you can actually get the Wookie to kill his blue friend). Then did the last mission and became the new ruler of the galaxy with the Star Forge at my command... Muahahahahaha.

Spoiler!

I'm on my first go around in KOTOR and I think I'm right at the end... but I'm stuck. I'm at the part in the Star Forge where there is an endless stream of Dark Jedi and Sith Heavy Troopers and for some reason I can't freakin' manage to get through them. I run out of Force power everytime. Don't get me wrong, I love the challenge and I'm gonna keep chugging on. I'll get through it soon enough.

This whole time I've been thinking when I finish the game that I'm gonna try a Dark Side character (there is a whole bunch of Force Powers I've never seen or used) but I'm like Britney.. when it comes down to it, I dont think I'll be able to kill innocents
