Where To Start With…The Star Wars Expanded Universe

2. The Old Republic - The Knights Of The Old Republic Series

Lightsabers-Darth-Revan-Star-Wars-Knights-Of-The-Old-Republic-Ii-The-Sith-Lords-Darth-Malak-14- Now we jump back in the Star Wars timeline, to the Old Republic. If you enjoy a good story, a good game and an expansive and enjoyable world then KOTOR is for you. Steeped in the world of the Old Republic, comes perhaps the best figure of non-Skywalker canon, Darth Revan. His story is a major one €“ not only making up the events of the Knights of the Old Republic video game €“ but also inspiring a novel, a sequel to KOTOR and appearing in the Old Republic online game. The issue remains that there is nothing, really, that links any of this to the €œmainstream€ Saga (barring lightsabers, the Jedi etc). If you enjoyed the world of Kyle Katarn, the Old Republic will blow you away. If you enjoy RPGs, then even better; the original KOTOR is a fine RPG in its own right. This world is waiting to be explored and will open up a huge new time period of the Expanded Universe after finishing with Revan. This includes our next figure.
