Azazel005 Posted November 25, 2004 Posted November 25, 2004 So we have been some brief history fleshed out for us over at Lucas Arts, for those of us that aren't privvy to all that history already. This has lead me to wonder how much of this history is going to come into play in the new games plot. We are been giving a good deal of history and being introduced to some of the greatest sith lords and fallen jedi in ancient star wars history can we expect them to make appearances in some form? or that some of the mysterious players in this game our somehow connected to them? Many of the locations are are also having there history exposed to us. This gets me a thinking....which I generally try to avoid. So I thought I would post this and see what everyone else thought, so I could just read about it... "
Biggs Posted November 25, 2004 Posted November 25, 2004 I'd say being an "outkast" jedi, it's more than likely we have some connection to some famous ancient Jedi/sith... ....that aside, it could be merely just a chance to give the general "public" some backstories about the history before KOTOR and KOTOR II - since many casual fans (like myself) havn't read the prior books.
Azazel005 Posted November 25, 2004 Author Posted November 25, 2004 I just don't have enough knowledge of the time frame, is it possible that we would be old enough to have known any of these icons, or apprentice beneath them? And we have this ominous masked villian, surely that means his identity must mean something, (though more than likely to in game chracters rather than the player with heaps of EU knowledge but still...) I believe from what I read Ulic could not have sent his spirit into the force, or any other location as other past characters have given his connection with the force being cut. But what about some of these other characters? (we don't seem to go to Yavin, so I realise Exar is out) Just flying around crazy ideas anyway....there has to be a more direct reason for all this back story.
nik_bg Posted November 25, 2004 Posted November 25, 2004 I think the idea of the chinocles is just to prepare us for the current events, to know why we visit this and that planet in K2, and so on.
KOTORFanactic Posted November 25, 2004 Posted November 25, 2004 They are basically setting up the story before KOTOR/KOTOR2 for us. It is a way of preperation for the game. If that is what they call preperation, then I enjoy this preperation, which means I enjoy game even more.
213374U Posted November 25, 2004 Posted November 25, 2004 Updating the chronicles is easier than making a new trailer every week. That way you get the false impression you are getting more info about the game, since the page is being updated. But the game is aimed at a much broader audience than those who would read the LA page, so I don't think the chronicles are relevant at all... - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.
Fardragon Posted November 25, 2004 Posted November 25, 2004 I believe the TotJ stories take place about 40 years before KotOR. While they are refered to in the first game TSL may draw more heavily on TotJ for background. Since many people who play TSL will not be familiar with TotJ so they thought it would be a good idea to try and bring people up to speed. I suspect Mike Gallo is the man responsibe. Everyone knows Science Fiction is really cool. You know what PoE really needs? Spaceships! There isn't any game that wouldn't be improved by a space combat minigame. Adding one to PoE would send sales skyrocketing, and ensure the game was remembered for all time!!!!!
Nur Ab Sal Posted November 25, 2004 Posted November 25, 2004 Since Tales of the Jedi are main inspiration for KOTOR (even title was taken from one of series' comics) it is understandable why LA is posting TOTJ on their site. I believe the TotJ stories take place about 40 years before KotOR. While they are refered to in the first game TSL may draw more heavily on TotJ for background. Since many people who play TSL will not be familiar with TotJ so they thought it would be a good idea to try and bring people up to speed. I suspect Mike Gallo is the man responsibe. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Here's official timeline for Tales of the Jedi series and KOTOR video games: The Golden Age of the Sith - - 5,000 BSW4 The Fall of the Sith Empire - - 5,000 BSW4 Knights of the Old Republic - - 4,000 BSW4 The Freedon Nadd Uprising - - 3,998 BSW4 Dark Lords of the Sith - - 3,997 BSW4 Sith War - - 3,996 BSW4 Redemption - - 3,986 BSW4 KOTOR - - 3,956 BSW4 KOTOR 2: Sith Lords - - 3,951 BSW4 HERMOCRATES: Nur Ab Sal was one such king. He it was, say the wise men of Egypt, who first put men in the colossus, making many freaks of nature at times when the celestial spheres were well aligned. SOCRATES: This I doubt. We are hearing a child's tale.

Like it the novels of the EU written after ROTJ, when Luke sets up hie academy and just happens "ignore" the fact that theres an ancient sith ghost around that just might try and corrupt his students. It would be cool to see some apparitions, but not at the expense of the plot, as previously done in the EU. People laugh when I say that I think a jellyfish is one of the most beautiful things in the world. What they don't understand is, I mean a jellyfish with long, blond hair.
Laozi Posted November 25, 2004 Posted November 25, 2004 Right Nur Ab Sul? I mean Luke was an idiot right? People laugh when I say that I think a jellyfish is one of the most beautiful things in the world. What they don't understand is, I mean a jellyfish with long, blond hair.
Nur Ab Sal Posted November 25, 2004 Posted November 25, 2004 Not bigger than Yoda and his lackeys who were spending hours on conferences with a Dark Lord who "accidentally" was a Chancellor of the Republic... HERMOCRATES: Nur Ab Sal was one such king. He it was, say the wise men of Egypt, who first put men in the colossus, making many freaks of nature at times when the celestial spheres were well aligned. SOCRATES: This I doubt. We are hearing a child's tale.
DSLuke Posted November 25, 2004 Posted November 25, 2004 Yes but at the time of Yoda the light side of the Force was clouded, so they couldn't sense the Sith, plus Sidious was using Sith magic to avoid dedection by Force. And I don't think that Exar would hide himself....especially from one so strong in the Force like Luke. And by the light of the moon He prays for their beauty not doom
Nur Ab Sal Posted November 25, 2004 Posted November 25, 2004 Exar was hiding from Luke practically all the time. Read Jedi Academy, it's a great trilogy. Exar was using the same trick that Vergere will use in Destiny's Way. HERMOCRATES: Nur Ab Sal was one such king. He it was, say the wise men of Egypt, who first put men in the colossus, making many freaks of nature at times when the celestial spheres were well aligned. SOCRATES: This I doubt.

Since the only thing he has left is his presance on the Force. And by the light of the moon He prays for their beauty not doom
