The story is set 4000 years before the films, when there were thousands of Jedi and thousands of Sith warriors, charging through the universe like light-sabered samurai. Playing a Wookiee potter or working in a Tattooine light saber shop is all very well, but Knights Of The Old Republic will have something that Galaxies won't: a marvellous single-player story set in a world designed solely for you to explore, and with so much depth you'll need to depressurise after playing it. While The Whole world has been getting excited - and rightly so - about Verant’s amazing online RPG Star Wars Galaxies, BioWare has been quietly toiling away at 'the other' most exciting Star Wars game ever devised.
