What is the name of the 2003 BioWare RPG set 4,000 years before the films? Knights of the Old Republic. Developed by BioWare and published by LucasArts, this role-playing game is set approximately 4,000 years before the rise of the Galactic Empire and the events of the Star Wars films.

The player creates a custom protagonist and joins companions including Bastila Shan, Carth Onasi and HK-47. The group searches for ancient Star Maps and the Star Forge while confronting Darth Malak, a Sith Lord who has launched a devastating war against the Galactic Republic. The game is known for letting players make dialogue and moral choices that influence their alignment with the light or dark side of the Force.

The title is often confused with Star Wars: The Old Republic, an online role-playing game set roughly three centuries after Knights of the Old Republic. Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy are also role-playing or action titles from the broader Star Wars game library, but neither is the 2003 BioWare RPG. Knights of the Old Republic became a major influence on later story-driven Star Wars games and received a sequel developed by Obsidian Entertainment.
