here’s no doubt about it Star Wars is a phenomenon and there are a HUGE slew of titles on the way, with more expected after George completes his third movie and it’s released to rabid fans, game developers just can’t help jumping on the Lucas band-wagon and I can’t really blame them for that.

Even Lego is getting in on the act with the forthcoming prequel based Lego: Star Wars and of course there’s the new Episode III video game to coincide with that movie. Yet Lucas’ world is a diverse and fascinating place (especially for an author like me) full of yet untold stories and its here that we begin with a period at least 4,000 years before the creation of the Galactic Empire.

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic pretty much blasted onto our consoles and PC (eventually) and rapidly took place as one of the best RPGs made yet, combining excellent visual quality with a gripping and enthralling Star Wars story where you could take the virtuous path of the light side or fall forever and embrace the dark side.
