Advertise on podcast: Star Wars Loose Canon

The Knights of the Old Republic's characters are what make it the strongest Star Wars video game series of all time. Even though the combat model, graphics, and RPG elements are somewhat archaic, the characters, including the villains, stands the test of time. In fact, I challenge anyone in the comments to mention a better cast of characters or stronger dialogue in the genre today. When I played KOTOR for the first time in 8th grade, RPGs were an enigma to me. All I wanted to do was mainline the story, not bothering with any paths of resistance or sidequests that were too challenging. I can recall never skipping dialogue and always reading descriptions of every weapon and piece of armor I acquired. I wanted to absorb everything I could about this new Star Wars universe like Darth Nihilus devouring the Force. Now, as a seasoned ultra-chad gamer, I see how much content I left unplayed. I complete as many quests as possible, minmax my stats, and try to complete all my companions' quests as well. However, when it comes to Star Wars, the villains must stand out. This is the franchise that has the villain, after all. And although the villains in KOTOR mirror or rhyme the OT, the baddies of KOTOR 2 are clearly in a world of their own. These are monsters that you will never forget. Let's just say they would eat Sidious and Vader for lunch, but they are also tragic in their own way. I hope you'll enjoy this discussion with the Brothers Krynn, who are also huge fans of these games.

The Exile might be the most charismatic Jedi the galaxy has ever known, effortlessly drawing many followers. While this was useful in attracting the devotion of his allies, it also brought in opportunities for romance.  The Brothers Krynn and Loose Canon decide on which characters are most compatible with our protagonist from Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords.

The Brothers Krynn, along with Chris, discuss the romance options in Knights of the Old Republic. Do Revan and Bastila belong together, or is their relationship born purely of circumstance?

The Skywalker Lightsaber is not exactly Excalibur or the Ring of Power, offering enhanced abilities to its wielder. It is an important item in the Star Wars universe, but it's not clear exactly how.  Nick and Chris discuss how significant Anakin's lightsaber is to the Star Wars universe. They also follow the chains of custody of the Millennium Falcon and the Darksaber, both passing between more owners than you may expect!

The Brothers Krynn return to share their fan fiction, The Kenobi Timeline. Inspired by the Legends novel, Secrets of the Jedi, the story follows the what-if scenario of Obi-Wan and Obi-Wan's lover, Siri secretly having a child. From there events unfold unexpectedly, especially with lesser-known companions of Anakin and Obi-Wan who are the focus of the narrative. Each of these characters has a fully fleshed-out backstory with motivations that weave into but never contradict the events of the Prequels. As you listen along, you can refer to the character glossary provided by the Brothers Krynn: Tahlon Kenobi: son of Obi-Wan Kenobi and Siri Tachi (Kenobi), Wields a double-sided Blue lightsaber, his style is Form IV (Ataru variant) Talanis Salazzar: Mandalorian warrior woman, 5 years older than Tahlon.
