10 Video Game Villains Who Switched Sides (To Fight Something Worse)
6. The Light And Dark Side Combined - Star Wars: The Old Republic
The one constant in Star Wars media is the eternal conflict of the Light and the Dark Side of the Force. The same battle of the two antagonizing powers is reflected in the MMO, Star Wars: The Old Republic, where the player has to pick a side and fight their enemies in the war for the entire galaxy.
However, this all changes with the inclusion of the expansion pack, Knights of the Fallen Empire.
The DLC is a unique addition to the game in which your character is cast several years into the future, where the galaxy is conquered by a mysterious power called the Eternal Empire, putting an end to both the Republic and the Empire.
The remnants of the old factions decide to bury their hatchet and work together until the new threat is eliminated, and what this means for you as the player is that suddenly, all the characters that acted as antagonists and villains before become your allies and close companions.
It's a strange thing to experience, not only because you see the Sith working alongside the Jedi, but also because you get to personally bond with and even romance a bunch of characters who used to be your sworn nemeses.
Talk about enemies to lovers...
