Please can people start spelling characters and names right on this site. for example whoever spelled Qui-gon Jinn wrong....and you say your star wars fan? rubbish i say. Rubbish, oh and i cant wait to play as a jedi, because dark may exist in the light but it is always the light that banishes the darkness.

There is no emotion, there is peace.
There is no ignorance, there is knowledge.
There is no passion, there is serenity.
There is no chaos, there is harmony.
There is no death, there is the Force....live it.

Mandalorians are back! Mandalore looks a little goofy though. In the second KOTOR Kreia always mentioned that the mandalorians were doomed when you asked her about them. Change of plans, Bioware?

 
Wed, 08/12/2009 - 23:21

Let's not forget though, that Kreia was a psychotic sith lord bent on destroying the force. Secondly, regardless of her powers of foresight the future is never written in stone. In the latest Star Wars books the Mandalorians have their own planet again with a thriving bounty hunting business.

I love how every one talks about being a jedi and their going to kill all sith and vice versa. Well u know what im gonna be a jedi and sith and kill and help ill be like a smuggler/bounty hunter but with powers so i can do whatever i want yay to being "ME"

"Feel the Force, Don't Force the Feel" :)

I think that dark must exist in the light so to speak. Sometimes darker methods are needed to order to maintain a coexisting peace. In a metaphor, Everything is not always black & white but rather a mixture of the two.

So in the end the only evil will be the greatest good, and vice versa.

Jedi all the way!

Mon, 08/10/2009 - 02:40

I'll be going jedi. I once walked a dark path in rpgs such as KOTOR I+II.
However i had a Darth Vader moment and now i'm always fighting the good cause :D this is my first comment i can't wait for this game!

Sun, 08/09/2009 - 10:40

i think we all need need to wait for Bioware to release more races and classes before we all start making these guilds. It's all good fun and everything but we need to just chill a bit y'know?

 
Mon, 09/28/2009 - 02:03

I see what you guys meen if we rush this thing we well just get a crapy game.

 
Tue, 08/11/2009 - 07:06

I agree with you

Fri, 08/07/2009 - 19:12

obi-wans master kwigun gin maid the clones or more so he asked the ppl to make them

 
Mon, 09/28/2009 - 01:57

its not kwi gun gin its qui gon jinn.

 
Sat, 08/08/2009 - 03:33

Obi-Wan Kenobi's masters name was Qui-Gon Jinn. The Jedi Master who ordered the creation of the clones was Master Sifo-Dyas, friend of Count Dooku, who later killed him.

Fri, 08/07/2009 - 08:31

if the jedi always wins y did the clones wipeout the jedi and who started the clones they said a master spmething was it darth sisious

 
Fri, 08/14/2009 - 07:40

the clones were a trap for the jedi all along, and they feel blindly into it when they accepted to be generals for the army of the republic. that is why they were created, to destroy the jedi and help create a evil empire.

Fri, 08/07/2009 - 08:25

ill be doing both mostly jedi though

Fri, 08/07/2009 - 08:17

I hope we have space battles i mean wats the point of going to different planets without space battles

Fri, 08/07/2009 - 08:14

shouldnt we have a non-forced army too the republic has an army y cant we

Fri, 08/07/2009 - 08:11

I will look like a jedi but be a sith jedis will be destroyed

vorpral-chi
Fri, 08/07/2009 - 03:00

siths are a bunch of dim witted, yellow-bellied lapdogs; they are the smirk to every fart and the brown to every tyrants nose. You see when sith speaks of passion they actually speak in terms of brown-nosing and being minute-men... sith women know all about their premature passion. heheh.

Tue, 08/04/2009 - 16:17

I'm going to be with the sith and I will kill any one who gets in my way any sith who commented we are going to kill the jedi

Thu, 07/30/2009 - 16:39

Cool, make the players get in the history behind the game is as necessary as develop the game itself. Good job. I sence much passion on you....hehehehe

 
Fri, 07/31/2009 - 15:16

how did u guys get faces above your names

ANND PLEEASSE, JUST FOR ONCE, CAN THEIR BE A JEDI THAT HAS LIGHTENING POWERS TOO! SINCE MASTER YODA COULD DEFLECT LIGHTENING SO WHY CAN'T OTHER JEDI'S?

 
Sat, 08/01/2009 - 05:00

jedi could use lightning it was called electric judgement it was created by plo koon.But it was frowned upon by the council their are no differences from force lightning exept for electric judgement was either yellow or green energy only plo koon and maybe luke skywalker used it

 
Thu, 07/30/2009 - 00:02

Some Jedi used Force lightning but it was frowned upon as it would bring the victim great pain and suffering, which is the Jedi way...but the Sith can feed off that pain and suffering and gain more power from it.

Tue, 08/04/2009 - 16:21

And they can also drain the force from the jedi so the jedi don't have a chance against the sith but i want my force lightning to be purple like those shadow clones from starwars the force unleashed

 
Wed, 07/29/2009 - 17:02

In fact jedi can use lightning but it is yellow and uses a different technique that doesn't involve emotions or passion. Luke Skywalker and Plo Koon have used this power.

Wed, 07/29/2009 - 11:42

To actually read into both codes, the sith code makes a little bit more sense than the jedi code. I mean it's just how the world is today. The jedi code sounds more like religion built for robots or something!

 
Fri, 07/31/2009 - 18:32

The codes are for the star wars world, not our world. And if your going to look into both codes in our world, it just matter on what your useing them for. The sith code may work better for a sports or some kind of adrenline rush event, where as the jedi code works better for something like chess and painting, or some kind of schooling.
In general, the sith code is for those who are rash and dont think things thru, like many of those in this world, and the jedi code is more for those who would use there reason and descernment to solve problems.
Dont be ignorant and say its for some kind of religion for robots.

 
Thu, 07/30/2009 - 07:55

First of all CommanderBacara... Emerald Lightning or electric judement is not lightning. It does not do what the traditional sith lightning does.The sith Variant is used o cause pain and suffering and to simply kill/severly harm an Opponent. Electric Judment saps the strength and will of an opponent...causing unconciousness and fatigue.And yes Jedi can use lightning but it is frowned upon by the order. But that was in the new order headed by yoda. At this particular time circa the KOTOR ERA jedi could take more than one apprentice and so could sith. So who knows... (obviously Bioware will notdo it but RP wise who knows)

Wed, 07/29/2009 - 11:39

I'm fighting with the Jedi always, infact, no one really needs to fight, Luke Skywalker defeated the Sith thousands of years after the time of this game, so the future is already set. And to think of it, we're all dead already!! It's just left to how we participate in this timeline.

 
Thu, 08/06/2009 - 23:00

Neither the Jedi or the Sith are ever really fully defeated. The example to counter what you're saying is the story within the books that take place after the movies. They still exist after he defeated Sidious, and there are more later in the Legacy era, which his descendant, Cade Skywalker fights. If the Jedi or Sith were ever fully defeated once and for all, you know what that would mean? End of the Star Wars universe, and who wants that? It's Star WARS for a reason, there is a constant state of war. They can't make games or books of a peaceful Jedi- or Sith- ruled galaxy with no conflict.

But I agree that I will always be a warrior of the light. I fight for the Jedi.

Wed, 07/29/2009 - 01:39

I hope u can fully customize the lightsaber, and I don't mean like in jedi academy but fully customize it.

Tue, 07/28/2009 - 05:32

This game looks supa tight. I'll probably be a Sith since in all the other games I've been on the Light Side. Can't wait for the release of more classes.

 
Wed, 07/29/2009 - 16:06

and your point is???

 
Wed, 07/29/2009 - 00:47

LOL at these virgins who are acting in character on FORUMS, hell I'll probably play the game on a hardcore in character server as well but I ain't gonna embarrass myself on the forums. Get a freakin life, or better yet a job.

You've all got too much time on your hands.

Sun, 07/26/2009 - 14:54

I shall be Sith. And shall rise up and become one of the Emperors favored advisors on the Dark Council.

Peace is a lie, there is only passion.
Through passion, I gain strength.
Through strength, I gain power.
Through power, I gain victory.
Through victory, my chains are broken.
The Force shall free me

That is the code that I live by

Fri, 07/24/2009 - 23:25

Pacis est a recubo , illic est tantum perturbatio.
Per perturbatio , EGO convalesco.
Per vires , EGO lucrum vox.
Per vox , EGO lucrum victoria
Per victoria , meus catena es infractus.
Vis vadum solvo mihi.

The Sith Code in Latin.

 
Wed, 07/29/2009 - 18:16

OK.... uhhh... wow get a life dude...

Fri, 07/24/2009 - 23:14

The Republic will be side I fight for.
This Star War that we fight will never end, We may lose gorund and we will gain, all at once. Those of you who wil chose the dark side are impatiant and lazy, choseing brute force and trickery to win the day, as for my brethern who chose the light side of the force, we will have more joy in the victoris we accomplish aganist you lowsome sith.
The Jedi may not be able to seek revenge without turning to the darkside, but it doesnt mean we as soldiers of the Republic will not avenge the Fallen Jedi. I may lose my soul to the Dark side, but the republic will have victories to sing songs, and celebrate over, the fallen sith.
