Story Behind the Makings of BioWare’s Star Wars the Old Republic

Over thirty years ago, George Lucas’ Star Wars movies hit the big screen. Few other franchises have left such an enduring mark on our pop culture. So many of us have picked up a toy lightsaber as a child; now we have a chance to enter the Star Wars universe in a way that George Lucas could never have imaged all those years ago. Star Wars: The Old Republic is defining what it means to truly be a Star War’s game. Set over three thousand years before the rise of Darth Vader, BioWare is setting the stage for a conflict of epic proportions. Star Wars: The Old Republic Classes are more then just the standard MMO.

Each of them has links to iconic characters that defines them. When choosing which of the Star Wars: The Old Republic Classes suits your whimsy and desires, you are faced with one of many choices. On the surface it is a very simple choice, will you take up the mantle of truth and justice and serve the Galactic Republic? Or will you follow a creed where power is its own reward and justification? Thereby taking up service with the Sith Empire? The Galactic Republic has been knocked back on its heels by the emergence of the Sith Empire. A truce exists, but it is only a matter of time before war comes once more to the galaxy. As a Republic player you have four archetypes to chose from, the SWTOR Trooper, the Smuggler, the Jedi Knight, and the SWTOR Jedi Consular.

Each of the Star Wars: The Old Republic Classes are based off characters or archetypes that are well known to many of us. There is no truer Smuggler and Scoundrel the Han Solo, no wiser Jedi Consular then Yoda. The servants of the Sith Empire have struck back at their enemies, the Jedi and the weak Galactic Republic that supports them. The SWTOR Imperial Agent, the Sith Warrior, the Bounty Hunter, the Sith Inquisitor represent the eyes, the ears and even the fists of Imperial Power.

There is no more perfect role model for a Bounty Hunter then Boba Fett. Nothing could define the inexorable power and menace of a Sith Warrior more then Darth Vader himself. For more details about the game, especially the mechanics, leveling systems or so, check out the various SWTOR resources available. The bar has been set high for Bioware and if the Star Wars:The Old Republic Classes can live up to their inspiration, we are in for a hell of a ride.

Star Wars Trilogy [VHS] $25.00 The Star Wars trilogy had the rare distinction of becoming more than just a series of movies, but a cultural phenomenon, a life-defining event for its generation. On its surface, George Lucas’s original 1977 film is a rollicking and humorous space fantasy that owes debts to more influences than one can count on two hands, but filmgoers became entranced by its basic struggle of good vs. evil “a lon…
