/sw/ - Star Wars★

As far as I'm aware Kreia doesn't turn up in anything else as a character. Like most KOTOR stuff you might get a few brief references here or there but it's not like there's some book about her fall to the Dark Side or what have you. Wookiepedia claims she only appeared in KOTOR 2, has a codex entry in SWTOR and was mentioned in the tie-in novel for the same game.

Basically everyone in the KOTOR games gets the short end of the stick as far as appearances in other works go. Revan occasionally gets mentioned when dealing with ancient Sith history but that's about it. If you like KOTOR and Revan though I guess there are the KOTOR comics, they follow a random Jedi Padawan doing things around the start of the Mandolorian wars so there's obviously a fair few KOTOR 1 references, though I'm not sure if they have any KOTOR 2 references. I've only managed to read the first 1/3rd so far but I enjoyed them, can't say how they measure up to other Star Wars comics though and they didn't delve much into the whole Force side of the lore if that's what you're after.

>>12 (OP)

>Recommended:

The Tales of the Jedi comics. The story is set several years before the events of the KOTOR games and features a different conflict with a different cast of characters. Towards the end, there's a two-part prequel arc called Golden Age of the Sith and Fall of the Sith Empire which is set another thousand years before the main story. It's where the pink skinned Sith race was introduced. The comics were made way before the Prequels, so they have a somewhat different portrayal of the Jedi and the Sith.

The KOTOR comics mentioned above fill the gap in the timeline between Tales of the Jedi and the KOTOR games. Storywise, the series stands on its own. It's a pretty good read, so I recommend it, even if it's rather light on Sith stuff.

The Knight Errand comics are set roughly a thousand years before the movies and before the Rule of Two was implemented. In this, the Sith are feuding warlords and each of them follows a different philosophy. The main story and the protagonist are meh, but the Sith Lords themselves are very memorable.

The Darth Bane book trilogy is set in the same era as Knight Errant, and follows the life the big guy who created the Rule of Two.

Finally the novel Darth Plagueis is about Palpatine and his master before and during the time of the Prequels.

>Honorable mentions:

Dark Lord: Rise of Darth Vader if you like the idea of a young Vader learning to be a dick.

Purge and Dark Times if you want the above in comic form. Dark Times puts more emphasis on the good guys, while Purge is more episodic, with Vader going after the Jedi survivor of the week.

The Star Wars Legacy comics, which are set some hundred years after the movies. Here there's hundreds of Sith taking orders from one Lord. There are a few interesting moments when the new Sith try to uncover ancient Sith knowledge for themselves.

>If you could recommend to me something with that vibe it would be even better.

It's probably a stretch, but maybe the book Traitor from the New Jedi Order. The character Vergere isn't a Sith (though she may have been retconned onto one in later books, don't ask), but she's a morally gray mentor figure who makes the protagonist question his morality and understanding of the force. It's a good book regardless - far better than the rest of the NJO - but it might be confusing to jump right into the middle of a big series like that.

Thank you guys! OP here, I'm gonna check the recommendations now and I'm sorry for late reply.

>It's a good book regardless - far better than the rest of the NJO - but it might be confusing to jump right into the middle of a big series like that.

Oh, I somewhat know NJO. When I was in my early teens I found some NJO books in some small bookstore (it was Force Heretic… Second) and I just bought it. It WAS absolutely confusing as hell as I haven't read anything from the EU before so jumping ahead of the timeline (for me continuity stopped at EVI, unless Jedi Knight game series counts) AND jumping in the middle of Force Heretic felt a bit strange. Didn't know most characters and it took me a while to figure out who the hell Anakin, then already dead which was even more confusing, was. Especially that they rarely mentioned him as "Anakin Solo". Fun times. Later I picked up Force Heretic I and III and more books from NJO, pretty much all of the books after Force Heretic and some before. In my country translated SW books weren't that easy to obtain and I often lacked money for them (or maybe I just was retarded and couldn't find them) and I was only speaking English at a basic level then.

Tried to get back to it lately, this time from the first NJO book and going in order, but I didn't have much time and had plenty other things to read. Now I do too, started getting into Lovecraft.

Anyway I very much liked Yuuzhan Vongs. I was sort of an edgy teenager as you might imagine. I loved Nom Anor, in the last book his whole "turning to the light side" and self-sacrificing (or something like that, details are blurry, even had to look up his name) ruined the book for me, it was so out of character.

>but she's a morally gray mentor figure who makes the protagonist question his morality and understanding of the force

So funny you mention that!

I was absolutely fascinated by her, even though I only knew her from mentions scattered over other NJO books. Apparently I have a thing for such characters :^)

I even made Vergere my nickname in some game or something (even though I'm a male). I always imagined her as a human woman so imagine my shock when I found out that she is some sort of awesome bird-woman!

Any more characters like Kreia and Vergere you can think of?

Your post was a nice reminder of my teenage days, thank you anon.

great book to read the entire Force heretic trilogy was awesome!

The Yuuzhan Vong get lots of shit from the fans because most of their tech is really bullshit (im looking at you amphistaff) but they are really interesting as characters , specially after a few books and understanding their culture a bit more, another recomendation for the NJO books is the Edge of victory books

If you don't start with this…you're fucked
