For years on end, I’ve been looking for a game or a film to make me feel that way again. KotOR’s entire plot hinges on a huge twist. An old thing can’t make you experience the same feeling of novelty and surprise. We think we want more of the same when we really want to relive a feeling of newness from that first time we had our minds blown. The problem with remakes and long-awaited sequels is inherent to nostalgia. These games have cast a long shadow over subsequent Star Wars games, and fans have long clamored for a remake, which was finally confirmed to be in production by Aspyr Media earlier this year. Set 4000 years before the original trilogy of Star Wars films, KotOR was a smash hit, with new characters fitting familiar archetypes, and a setting of new worlds caught in conflict between the Galactic Republic and a Sith Empire led by former Jedi. BioWare’s Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, and Obsidian’s sequel Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II – The Sith Lords, setting a precedent and expectations for Star Wars games to come. While A Galaxy Far, Far Away has played host to many great games, two in particular from the first decade of the new millenium have stayed ever present in the minds of fans.
