We think it’s time for another installment of the beloved Star Wars RPG franchise.
Here’s why…
Its been 10 years sinceKnights of the Old Republic II.
Isnt it about time forKnights of the Old Republic III?
The short answer is yes.
I dont think any gamers could possibly disagree that weve waited long enough for the return of this series.
Instead, we got a flawed MMO that took place 300 years after the events of its spiritual predecessor.
But what about the cliffhanger at the end ofKnights of The Old Republic II?
The Sith Lordswas a much darker experience than the original, and it succeeded for the most part.
The problem is that the game was never meant to end on a cliffhanger to begin with.
Obsidian hoped to wrap up the gaps on the Sith mythology the first game had introduced.
An underlying theme within the series was the ancient Sith threat.
After the events of the first game, Revan decided to leave the Republic to stop this threat.
Unfortunately for the Jedi Order, he disappeared and was never heard from again.
Perhaps, we could have even seen the return of the awesomely evil Naga Sadow…
The closest we got to this climactic battle was the novel by Star Wars veteran Drew Karpyshyn,Revan.
The novel serves as a prequel/sequel toThe Sith Lords, and provides backstory forThe Old Republic.
Yeah, okay, but they got out with a whimper, not a BANG.
The series did not get the ending it deserved.
Whats cooler than the Jedi Covenant, asteroid-eating slugs, and Mandalorians?
And what of the further adventures of the original cast of characters?
According to the aforementioned novel, its all T3-M4, your trusty utility droid.
Thats not enough for me.
This series still has sooo much to cover, and there are A LOT of questions that need answering.
Hopefully, EA will finally give us what we want.
May the Force be with them.
