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!

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

Fri, 07/23/2010 - 19:59

I don't know why but this makes me feel like "Fallout: Star Wars" xD

 
Sun, 07/25/2010 - 12:59

I know right?

Wed, 07/21/2010 - 11:18

I think it would be cool if you were able to get the Rackghoule disease. and then you had to cure it somehow.

 
Sat, 07/24/2010 - 22:56

yeah you could get infected in like a special team deathmatch mode like quarantine on comabt arms

 
Fri, 07/23/2010 - 19:58

kinda like vampirism in oblivion? lol

 
Thu, 07/22/2010 - 16:15

That would be pretty interesting. But if you transformed, you'd be screwed.

Wed, 07/21/2010 - 00:56

i would kinda like to know if any of the swoop gangs or undercity people survived... but i like taris comming back, and i would like to see dantooine too....

Mon, 07/19/2010 - 13:32

so let me get this straight you will be able to decide the planets out come and it will change the game itself right

 
Fri, 07/23/2010 - 21:29

Maybe overrunning enemy spawns

 
Mon, 07/19/2010 - 20:56

It might be something like...faction controlled. Maybe, depending on what each faction does it will lean more towards them, maybe a world PvP thing, or you get some sort of bonus for controlling most of Taris. All speculation of course, but whatever they decide to do, I'm sure it will be awesome.

Mon, 07/19/2010 - 07:33

Looks excellent! I can't believe we're finally going to be able to play on Taris again. Bioware and LucasArts are brilliant for using this!!

 
Sat, 07/24/2010 - 22:56

They should talk more baout Taris

Sun, 07/18/2010 - 20:26

¡Taris my home!, I remember the dark sublevels. In these only the fittest survive ... if I remember long ago!!

Sun, 07/18/2010 - 19:09

Sat, 07/17/2010 - 09:43

This game is awesome, I am still in shock that its actually being made. STAR WARS RULES!

Fri, 07/16/2010 - 17:29

Ah, Taris. How I've loved and missed you so. It will be good to return there and see what actually happened to the world after Reven and company escaped.

Thu, 07/15/2010 - 02:12

boombasticboi
Tue, 07/13/2010 - 09:08

Tue, 07/13/2010 - 07:04

Watching these vids are making me want to get into Game Development.

Tue, 07/13/2010 - 06:46

this video actually saddened me. think maybe we'll get to see some familiar places such as the arena? or perhaps even that famous mandalorian dueler's remains (in the form of leftover golden mandalorian armor)?

Tue, 07/13/2010 - 03:46

"You are going to get a chance to make a real difference, you get to determine what is going to happen to this world"
Is he referring to your personal story line or is there going to be a noticeable difference between the development of different servers?

Tue, 07/13/2010 - 03:13

i cant wait to kill the rakghouls again they always looked cool to me.

Tue, 07/13/2010 - 03:12

Like you g in a ruined skyscraper and you see a cooky blind guy named Gaddon Thek (the b=hidden bek leader) going Run little chicken Run!

Tue, 07/13/2010 - 02:52

They should bring back all the planets from KOTOR 1 and 2.

 
Tue, 07/13/2010 - 04:12

Expetialy Manaan. Or have an underwater city on Kamino.

Mon, 07/12/2010 - 22:59

Mon, 07/12/2010 - 17:58

if the empire dont want the republic to rebuild it just bombard it again lol problem solved

 
Mon, 07/12/2010 - 20:45

I wonder what happened to the outcast after I helped them get to the promised land

Mon, 07/12/2010 - 17:41

can't wait to see what taris has in store for us.

Mon, 07/12/2010 - 15:03

I honestly hated Taris...although it was the most interesting world it wasn't the most exciting.

 
Tue, 07/13/2010 - 03:14

I hated how racist it was,.... and like if you're poor ur n the lower city if your ancestors 3 generations ago rebelled you go to the undercity and getinfected and become a rakghoul!!!

Mon, 07/12/2010 - 03:24

i wonder if since the rakghoul survived if the outcasts survived. when i played it i found the promise land and they left. it would be cool if they did survive and you managed to go to the promise land with your friends.

 
Mon, 07/12/2010 - 18:05

nah they say the journey would take them a few months since it was far from where they were camping at the base of the elevator so they wouldnt have had time before malik destroyed the planet.

Mon, 07/12/2010 - 01:13

Awesome - I just completed Kotor 1 and I definatly like the idea of a ruined Taris being brought back

Sat, 07/10/2010 - 02:56

also while im here... if your interested in playing a lightside character then you should join the sons of light, the guild is recruiting all sorts of characters from the trooper and smuggler to the Jedi knight and Jedi Councilor. we will be glad to accept anyone who is playing one of those roles and if you are interested in joining then contact the guild leader (Master-Sylus) on his page or the guild page in the guild hall. also you can visit the official site which is www.sonsoflight.guildlaunch.com and join up there.
