ToniMarino Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 So, I watched the movies and played some old videogames that take action in the own movies environment, reenacting it. But, this is the first game I play that is in another time, with nother persons, another world, practically, but in the universe of Star Wars. And as I play, I see that I don't know ANYTHING about this universe. Nothing about the lore, and other things. Anyone could suggest me where I can get more information about the Star Wars universe, like some site with database, a trustworthy star wars wiki or something like this? Since I didn't play any other games like Star Wars, knights of the Old Republic, and stuff... I fell really lost actually when it concerns Star Wars lore.

Lurkz Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Check out Wookieepedia: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page Or just read some of the books/comics. Wookieepedia has a good timeline of when all the books and comics and such occur, find ones that cover the time frame you're interested in and read them.

Ruliya Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Check out http://www.swtor.com/info/holonet/timeline It will help fill in holes in the events that lead up to the gameplay. A lot of us are still waiting for Bioware to finish the updates but it should help a lot, they are pretty informative about this time period.

ToniMarino Posted February 24, 2012 Author Share Posted February 24, 2012 Thank you very much people! I belive that will improve the gameplay and the roleplay of my chars hahaha knowing history helps to kinda orient the behaviour when playing and let things less... artificial... provides a sense of belonging that this game itself already guives...

ToniMarino Posted February 24, 2012 Author Share Posted February 24, 2012 I remember that in the movies, the republic doesn't own an army... only afer the separatists declare war, they recurr to the clone army as the republican army. What about these time? it seems that they owned armies and quite powerfull ones.. what let to these new republic of the movies to have no army?

sfatmedic Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 There's tons of books out there that pertain to lore. Unless you've read a few of them it is difficult to grasp at first what time in the star wars universe this all takes. Star Wars: Decieved is a good book to read if you want more information about everything thats going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToniMarino Posted February 25, 2012 Author Share Posted February 25, 2012 What about the sith as a race? After the "rule of two" there were no other sith in tha galaxy, right? And none of them were red siths, so... what happened to them? got extinct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToniMarino Posted February 25, 2012 Author Share Posted February 25, 2012 And, witch war is that of the game? As I see, there were MANY reapearences and destructions of the Sith Empire, and sometimes, there were more than one Empire competing... idk...

Lurkz Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Right, but Rule of Two is after this time frame. Read the Sith (Species) entry on wookieepedia for a good overview of the Sith race and how that ties into the Sith culture/mentality. And yes, there were many wars: Sith wars, Hyperspace wars, Freedon Nadd uprising, etc. etc. Taking a look at the timeline is probably the best way to gather an overview of these and then you can click for specific info about each war.
