The Xbox version of this sequel to Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic was released on December 6, 2004. It's not an easy task for a new developer to helm the sequel to a popular game, especially when the original won Game of the Year honors the year prior.Offering a deep story, interesting characters, and new Force powers to light up your TV screen, Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords won't disappoint fans of the original.

Plot:  The game takes place five years after the events of Knights of the Old Republic, in a time when the Jedi have been nearly exterminated by the Sith. The player's character, a former Jedi Knight exiled from the Jedi Order, is referred to as "the Exile" or "Jedi Exile." Throughout the game, the player's character (canonically a female) restores a connection to the Force while, with the help of non-player character companions, trying to stop the Sith. The player makes choices that turn the Exile to either the dark side or light side of the Force, and travels to six planets to either help or hinder the Republic's efforts to bring peace and stability to the galaxy.

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (KotOR) is a role-playing video game developed by BioWare and published by LucasArts. It was released for the Xbox on July 15, 2003, for Microsoft Windows on November 19, 2003.

Plot: The game opens with the player's character—the player can choose a face and be male or female (canonically a male)—awakening aboard a Republic ship under attack by Malak's forces. The player's character gradually gathers companions and pieces together his or her past while attempting to stop Malak. While taking refuge at the Jedi Academy on Dantooine, the player's character learns to be a Jedi, discovers a "Star Map", and learns of the "Star Forge", the probable source of Malak's military resources. Because Bastila Shan was aboard Revan's ship with a Jedi strike force, she was able to heal him and bring him to the Jedi Council on Dantooine. Her actions lead to the force bond between her and Revan, which plays a role later in the game.
