For the final Obligatory Movie Game Podcast episode of May, Devon and Dalton dive into Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, the jaw-droppingly expansive Star Wars RPG from 2003. Unlike most games covered on this show, KOTOR was almost universally loved upon release, and it set the standard from Star Wars games moving forward. Many blogs, youtubers, and video game news outlets still feel like it’s the definitive Star Wars video game. From its robust cast of party members and interesting NPCs, to its gripping original story that is morphed by the player’s choices, KOTOR is one of those rare licensed games that deserves recognition alongside the best games of its generation. There’s not as much to make fun of here, but there’s a lot to gush over.
