As most gamers know, games based on the Star Wars genre or movies can be hit or miss. LucasArts has had its share of lukewarm and downright bad titles over the years with games like Galactic Battlegrounds going into the former category and Rebellion going into the latter. (note: I have one friend who swore that Rebellion was a great title, so I suppose every game has its supporters.)

But where most Star Wars fans agree is on the Knights of the Old Republic games. They are epic. They are intensely popular. And they are, in short, why most of us play computer games.
