Another exciting installment of the history between Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords, and Star Wars: The Old Republic, is provided to us by Jedi Historian Gnost-Dural, as he recounts the heroic exploits of a young smuggler in his attempts to bypass the blockade and bring his goods to the needy citizens of Coruscant. In this video, we get our first glimpses of Mandalorians, and their role in the War as allied forces to the Sith. Not only that, but we see a return to the unlikely heroes of the past, a la Han Solo. Perhaps this could be a trend that the MMO storyline might follow, in order to make non-Jedi classes just as interesting to play as the lightsaber-slinging paramours of the past.

This intriguing addition to the timeline of our favourite Galaxy far, far away can be seen here, along with a video commentary, voiced by Lance Henriksen:

Stay posted to ORK for a media update in the near future, which will include this video, amongst many others. What this author can tell you is that I am very excited to see what else this Historian has to say in the future. The backstory is half the fun of a Star Wars game, especially for the Old Republic, after all.
