Until you got into the Sith base and underwater part. Then it blew goats.
Would it be a good game if it were set in a random sci-fi universe? I'd like to play another rpg and am considering buying this but I'm not really a fan of Star Wars, saw the first three movies and found them quite ok, didn't really like the prequels so far. Would I still enjoy the game or is it a Bridge Commander type thing where the game is really great for fans of the franchise but boring to everyone else?
I just don't like Kashyyk due to asthetics. The whole "dark jungle with walking carpets that sound like something disgusting is dying painfully somwhere really unpleasant" thing didn't do it for me.
The bright and sunny Manaan was awsome afterwords. It was the only world where i stopped and just went, "Damn that looks fine," for a few minutes. What made the fish bearable was that i was actually able to understand them without the use of subtitles. My english teacher both looks and sounds remarkably like them. After managng to figure out what assignment is due the next class while managing not to explosivly vomit and shit all over myself just at the sight of her hideous form, figuring out the fish language only took about thirty maybe forty seconds.
Shaz, towards the end it didn't even feel like i was playing a Star Wars game. It was just a fantastic RPG. Probably one of the best i've ever played. Any quibbles i have with the game like my whole anti-Kashyyk thing are so minor the only way they'd detract from the game is make it a 9.5 instead of a 9.6.

This isn't the Lord of the Rings where they had the actors speaking in Tolkein Elvish. The alien languages had four or five lines of spoken dialogue recorded and those four or five lines were rehashed through the entire game. None of it actually means anything. You can even get NPCs to use different sounds to say the same lines of text if you keep talking to them. [ 12-02-2003: Message edited by: Snoota ]

Kashyyyk was one of my favorite planets. Big Z really starts to shine after you get that weapon the Chieftain gives you. I didn't use Big Z until my third run through of the game and I really wish I had earlier. Give him two melee weapons and run up his attack/hit point feats and he's the best fighter in the game. I've had him be the last man standing against 3-4 Dark Jedi when things go south and have him walk away with his health barely dent.
Zaalbar rules. I used him in the er, final part of the game and he completely tore through everything.
If you have the old man as jedi support nothing can stop you 
It was almost too easy though

I'll just tack on my own question here:Would it be a good game if it were set in a random sci-fi universe?

I don't enjoy the star wars universe, but I really like KOTOR. It's a great game in the way its layed out and its flow, it's not the SW world that brings me to the game.
