**We have a place to discuss the game and places to discuss each class, but we don't have a place to discuss the lore... or rather didn't until now Razz

The Lore of the Star Wars Universe

The Sith Backstory

Freaky long and epic thread someone wrote

The SW:TOR Comics

"The comic will offer readers a dramatic introduction to the Old Republic time period and many of the characters who appear in the game. Stay tuned and follow the storyline to its dramatic conclusion setting the stage for the players' entrance into the game" - Developers

(1)Threat of Peace

(2)Blood of the Empire

((Work In Progress))

As usual it will take me a few days to get up all the data I want to for this type of thread. This one just might take longer to chase down good and reliable sources of information, as well as get it into a format I like.

I'd like to start off the discussion with the material which is currently the closest thing we have to a prelude to the actual game itself as far as story goes: the comics.

Threat of Peace was OK... but just barely...
Blood of the Empire seems like a complete disaster so far and made me go "huh what?" several times...

What does everyone else think?

The only word that comes to my mind is "Confused" who is Lord Calypho? and where the hell is the planet Begeren? Are they just pulling names and planets out of their asses or what!?

I like the idea, but can we maybe have some relevant people from the timeline entries or something to serve as a guide so we know where we are and who we are talking about in the comics...?

blood of the empire was very confusing. at the end of the comic they major said that the sith lord saw going to be punished, punished for what? I think this is going to be a huge screw up .

I'd hate to be one of those Sith troopers, they're feild of vision is like 3 inches with those helmets on. How can they see anything that isnt directly in front of them. Talk about tunnel vision.

Here's what I got out of it. The Sith can see verticaly, and the Republic can see horizontaly.

Haha, wow... I didn't even notice it but yeah... the Sith troopers do only have like a tiny little hole to see out of.

I bet the artist expects us to believe there's like a display screen in there or something that lets them see, but that's just a bit of a stretch to me <_< they need to hire better artists imo

Well in my opinion, the story was better and art style was cooler than Threat of Peace and several other star wars comics related to other periods of time ( the golden age of the sith for example , good story but not so good art style)
