TheOpethian Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 So I want to literally know the ins and outs of old republic era star wars lore, what games/movies/books do you recommend me getting into ? other than KOTOR of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexDougherty Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 To know the ins and outs completely, read everything, including wookiepedia, the games are not really important, as they are generally non-canon (the canon parts are usually in books any way). Also watch toon wars and the movies, the Droids cartoons were fun but are considered non-canon, and don't bother with the Ewok movies (Caravan of truth and one other) as they don't impact on anything. Or just bluff it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beniboybling Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 If your interested in Old Republic era lore then I would strongly recommend the official Star Wars: The Old Republic Encyclopedia which has extensive information on planets, factions, individuals, events etc. and a perfect complement to the lore of this game in particular - and a lot that can't be found on Wookieepedia or in-game.

Beniboybling Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 (edited) Thank you, I'll be sure to get it whenever I can.No problem. And if you haven't already I'd suggest you watch the Galactic History videos which cover pretty much all major event in the Old Republic era you might also consider the The Journal of Master Gnost-Dural.

AlrikFassbauer Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Does the official Star Wars web page databank still exist ? It had a few interesting pieces as well - but the Wookiepedia is often better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has a few pieces here and there but I want to really get into the lore, I'll also follow the timelines and get what I can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psychogobstopper Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 As you already noted, the two "heavies" for this era are, of course, Knights of the Old Republic and Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords. Tales of the Jedi is a great comic series that chronicles many years leading up to the events of the first KOTOR game. It introduced characters such as Ulic Qel-Droma and Nomi Sunrider, and events such as the Beast Wars of Onderon, the Great Hyperspace War, and many others that would be referenced in KOTOR and beyond. The KOTOR comic series enjoys a strong reputation as well, though I haven't read it myself. The Lost Tribe of the Sith eBook series covers a long span of years in focusing on a group of Sith separated from the galaxy at large. It starts during the Great Hyperspace War and leads up to the emergence of the Lost Tribe onto the galactic stage during the early Legacy era.
