Today, we’re heading to a galaxy far, far away to explore Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, the 2003 RPG that let players shape their own destiny as Jedi or Sith. We begin by tracing BioWare’s rise—from educational software to RPG juggernaut—and how their partnership with LucasArts gave birth to a story set thousands of years before the films. Then, we’ll dive into the development of KOTOR, from its combat system and memorable companions to the tech hurdles and narrative risks that helped redefine what licensed games could achieve. Finally, we’ll reflect on the game’s legacy, its influence on future RPGs, and the status of its long-rumored remake. So grab your lightsaber and decide your path as we journey through the Force on today’s trip down Memory Card Lane!
