Description This is a teaser for a project I'm working on. I recently played through the whole of "Knights of the Old Republic" and absolutely loved it. The characters are charming, the story is good, the gameplay is fun. All around, it really made me feel l like I was in the Star Wars universe.

However, I found the art design a bit underwhelming. It was perfectly fine and by no means ugly, but I felt it didn't explore the ideas of an ancient Star Wars would look like. Here, I play around with the idea, with a barely scratched, chrome-plated sand crawler and wheeled speeder bikes.. There's a lot more to it, and I'll be posting my work in the future.

Well, the game was a 2006 game, right?
srsly, you should probably check WHEN a game was made before criticizing the style... Check out Star Wars The Old Republic if you want to see KotOR's RECENT SEQUELS. KotOR II was made like right after KotOR...but KotOR II was made by Obsidian whereas KOTOR is a Bioware game... SWTOR is also a Bioware game...
blaaahhhh

yeah Revan is the best. My Revan is the female grey sided jedi...

2003 to be specific. I loved the art itself, but I felt there was a ton of unexplored potential at how they could convey that this was a 4000 year old start wars. Did they use gunpowder weapons? Did they not invent repulser-lifts yet? Instead the everything was basically how it is in the movies. It's not a strike against the game though. Hindsight is 20:20 and this sort of more radical departure from the Star Wars brand look probably wouldn't sell, so I don't blame them. 

Yeah, I was hoping they'd at least reference Revan in Rebels ugh.

yeeeeaaahhh idk
the things that you mentioned kinda makes me think of the Great Hyperspace War, which was like..20,000 years before KotOR... I don't think the Jedi were even fully formed then, and the Sith was kinda a new thing too... might've been just a species, not a belief... right?
You should prolly pay attention to the lore before you start thinking about the technology like that.
And anyway... something more clever than the movies... KotOR is the reimagining of the Original Star Wars movies. HURRAY for "I am Revan" instead of "Luke I am your FATHER" LOLOLOL
KotOR 2 is the deconstruction of the Star Wars movies...
Have you ever played it? The tone is COMPLETELY different... and omg all the themes... not to mention, Kreia is probably the best Star Wars villain EVER.

1. Well, it's a new canon, so I have an empty sandbox, you know? Except I refuse to call Korriban "Moriband". Why did they change the name ;_;. I thoroughly believe the story can be implemented into the new canon with no problems, and it also gives me a chance to wrap some plot elements into foreshadowing the events of the the trilogies. And without all the history there, it gives me a chance to be more expressive with KOTOR's world design. I'll be exploring these in further deviations.

2. Yes, I need to play KOTOR 2.
