In 2003, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic took RPGs to a galaxy far, far away, forever changing how stories were told in games. In this episode, we explore how BioWare—best known for Baldur’s Gate—teamed up with LucasArts to craft an original Star Wars tale set 4,000 years before the films. We trace the game’s development, from its D&D-inspired combat and branching morality system to its unforgettable twist and award-winning storytelling. Our conversation also follows its legacy through sequels, comics, and The Old Republic MMO that expanded the era into a full-fledged universe. Join us as we ignite our lightsabers and revisit Knights of the Old Republic on today’s trip down Memory Card Lane.
