Returning to Taris

Once home to a sprawling planet-wide city, Taris was razed long ago by the Sith Lord Darth Malak while seeking to eliminate the Jedi Knight Bastila Shan. Now, a post-apocalyptic Taris is being realized in Star Wars™: The Old Republic™. After 300 years, Republic and Jedi leaders are moving forward with the efforts at colonization.

Watch insights from James Ohlen, Drew Karpyshyn, Scott Carpenter, and Mark How about the new environments – and adventures – awaiting players in our latest Developer Dispatch: Returning to Taris!

@_@
this video reminded me of the swoop races...i hope that they do swoop racing competitions and you can make credits out of it or something. it would be awesome to have a server wide contest going on and there is like a trophie that you get and you keep it on your ship then you have to defend your trophie/title every year or something like that...it would be a kool idea imo

The first Knights of the old Republic was and still is one of my fav games (Can't say the sith lords was even close to as good though)! Seeing Taris makes me want to play this game alot more!

Good to see the old Republic series carry on!

All Loyal members of the republic. I call for your aid. The sith have returned as you well know and they threaten the citizens of the Republic. We are looking for Soldiers, Smugglers, and Jedi to join our ranks. We need Gererals, Masters, And experts in the art of stealth and seacrecy. If you are interested in helping defend the Republic please contact me. May the Force be with you.

So do we get to see what happened to the undercity poor people?? Did they ever make it to the "Promised Land"? I guess that serum I got the doctor didn't work.....should of given it to the crime lord!

I hate Taris, I was so happy when it got completely destroyed, and I really don't want to go back there ever again

Sat, 08/28/2010 - 16:02

taris is going 2 b my base planet of opperations. its jus the coolest planet and has the most personal history. join me while i explore the entire world

TROOPERS!! move out

Fri, 08/27/2010 - 21:15

I'm sick of Taris. In the first game you crash land on it and are stuck there for like forever and in the second game you land there and get arrested. And not to mention stupid poison rackghouls, mercenaries and sith you haft to fight through with no reward,and the never ending amount of boring quest you haft to do to get off of that rock to actualy begin to play the real game.

In other words Taris is bad news and from the looks of it..... it still is. I'm no sith but, I'd realy wish that Malak would of done a better job at blowing it up.

Yes, "TELOS" was boring and also it would be irrelevant to mention after watching a video about "TARIS"

Wed, 08/25/2010 - 22:35

very depressing

Wed, 08/25/2010 - 16:04

i wonder why is there a Hammerhead-class cruiser among the ruins? As long as i remember Taris was sith occupied planet during the destruction and there was no space combat either...

Anyway, that doesn't seem to be a problem, the thing is, will we be able to find or see "The Promised Land"???

 
Fri, 08/27/2010 - 19:03

Actually there was some space combat. In another video on Taris they say that cruiser was the one that you play on at the start of the game. I was confused a bit though because I thought it completely blew up.

Wed, 08/25/2010 - 00:34

Honestly, I hated Taris, but not for the reason u would think (unless ur thinkin it was borin like i was). Mainly because i hate giant cities. I was born in the city but was always a country boy at heart. The cities are always so boring, the only reason i play coruscant is to be in the sewers, and to see the truth behind it. Taris was a big dull city. But after seeing this trailer i feel they really outdid themselves remaking it for all to enjoy.

the republic shall fall

@drakeferno - Predation, and hence conflict, is the author of all the variety and wonder in the universe. If everyone was safe from cradle-to-grave, then there would be only stagnancy, sloth, weakness, limitation, and a horrible boring sameness permeating the entire universe.
Conflict and domination eliminate the weak in order to give birth to the strong, and create something more powerful than anything that has ever come before. Conflict is the only way such creation can occur.

That is why we must fight.

 
Fri, 08/20/2010 - 19:16

I just have one question for all of you whymust we fight? why cant we have peace do you really want to cause more pain and suffering for power?

Fri, 08/20/2010 - 00:54

I love the environment, but bein a bh will make fighting the rakgouls challenging. Hope my bro decides to make a sith warrior.

Wed, 08/18/2010 - 21:46

Taris will be one of the 1st planets i visit! :)

Wed, 08/18/2010 - 07:10

OOOOOH MYYYYYY GOD! I DO NOT WANT TO JOIN YOUR NERDY LITTLE GUILDS YOU ANNOYING PIECES OF HUMANITY!!!!!!... yeah, I am going to make a good sith

Can't wait to check out Taris. I wish I knew how KOTOR runs so smooth for them when on Taris. I still play KOTOR and my computer is way more than good enough for it but Taris and Manaan are so damn choppy. Anyways, Taris looks friggin awesome.

Tue, 07/27/2010 - 07:06

Ahh i always hated being confined to a single planet. In kotor 1 i always jumped around ALOT. it sucks to keep going on one part of the storyline. i was sad to see taris gone though. woulda liked to come back and finish my duels.

Tue, 07/27/2010 - 02:00

Taris was one of my favorite city-planets and i hated it when malak destroyed the whole planet
