How Knights of the Old Republic Defined The Sith & Their Rules Better Even Than George Lucas
While the Sith were a Star Wars creation by George Lucas himself, the Knights of the Old Republic video game defined them better than anyone.
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic tells the story of the Star Wars universe long before the Skywalker family altered the fate of the galaxy. The player assumes control of Revan, an amnesiac Force user who finds themselves thrown into the center of the ancient struggle between the Jedi and the Sith. An open-world RPG that allows the player to explore a galaxy of planets, KOTOR puts an emphasis on player choice: Revan must decide whether to save the galaxy, or conquer it.
