Star Wars: The Old Republic (SWTOR) closes the Old Republic mini-series: eight fully voiced Jedi and Sith class stories, companions who question your choices, and a Force war where light and dark play collide with politics, empire, and the moral nature of MMO gameplay.
In this Mythic Mind Games conversation (~48 min), Dr. Andrew Snyder is joined by Ian Miller to weigh Trooper and Consular favorites, the Jedi Knight arc from Coruscant politics to the nihilist Sith Emperor, light-side Sith inside a dark theocracy, Imperial Agent intrigue, and whether vicious dark-side play reveals character or is just another way to inhabit the story. WoW-like systems, richer Star Wars storytelling: the moral weight rides on class plot and companion talk more than the grind.
