Attack of the Clones was self-consciously dark and contained many clumsy indulgences for fans who were hoping for a new Empire Strikes Back. Attack of the Clones had come out the previous year, intensifying the schisms in Star Wars fandom that were split open by The Phantom Menace. Remember, this was a game that came out right when disappointment in the Star Wars prequels was reaching fever pitch. OK, it's no Millenium Falcon - what is? - but it's still a hell of a cool ship, and it's all yours. If you need a recipe for win, it doesn't get much clearer than that. People love Knights of the Old Republic, and with good reason: it's a great game that makes excellent use of a much loved, and much abused, license. It's still guaranteed to appear in the comments under the announcement of any secret new BioWare project. Ten years old this year, KOTOR is a game that still comes up whenever rumours of a new Star Wars game are in the air. The ones that won't go away, the ones that sunk their claws into the right audience at the right time and left a mark that isn't easily erased.
Knights of the Old Republic is one of those games.
