Action Trip recently had a chat with LucasArts producers Mike Gallo and Casey Hudson to find out more about the upcoming Star Wars RPG, Knights of the Old Republic. The feature can be found right here.
Thanks to Vader from Action Trip for the heads-up.
And here's a snip:As many Star Wars admirers probably already know, the storyline of the game takes place long before Episode I: The Phantom Menace - to be exact four thousand years ahead of it. It is the age in which the Sith and Jedi are engaged in a huge open war that begins to rage just about the time the game itself starts. The player's character is caught in the middle of this great conflict. Stories and events that went on during this particular period in the Star Wars timeline have never been interpreted before. Some data regarding these times can found on the Star Wars encyclopedias "Behind The Magic" and "Episode I: Insider's Guide." Anyway, generating a convincing plotline was obviously a huge and demanding task for the development team. When we asked Mike who was assigned to the duty of forming a storyline and how they came up with the info, he replied: "BioWare came up with the story and we worked very early on with them to refine some of the major plot points. Throughout the process we've worked together with the folks at Lucasfilm Licensing to make sure that we were on the right track, but we have been given a lot of freedom to do the things necessary to make an epic and engaging story that's set so long before the films." |
