Star Wars: KotOR Interview

Eurogamer has conducted an interview with James Ohlen, lead designer on Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. In it, James answers questions about the Star Wars universe, his passion for RPGs, and more. A snippet:

Q: Are you a fan of the original set more than the most recent?

A: I really like Star Wars and Empire Strikes Back. Return Of The Jedi – y’know, the Ewoks really annoyed me. Episode I and II were ‘alright’, but they don’t have the same feel as the original movies. In the original movies you had the evil empire, which was all powerful and always chasing down the heroes – which we’ve really tried to recreate in KOTOR, but in Episode I and II, the heroes just have too many resources to hand. They’re just never in any danger it seems.
