If you played the original Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic or its sequel, The Sith Lords, on the Xbox, then you know that one of the hallmarks of this role-playing series is that it sounds like a Star Wars movie. Not only are all the sound effects, from the lightsaber, blasters, and droids, authentic, but the quality of the voice acting is also excellent. The responsibility for the professional level of voice acting in the series belongs to Will Beckman and Darragh O'Farrell, the voice directors at LucasArts. In this edition of our designer diaries, the two discuss the challenges they faced in making The Sith Lords. You can listen to a sample of the voice-work in the game here. The PC version of the game is due out later this month.
