So far, KotOR holds up to your assertion, that the Old Republic is apparently disliked by millions of viable SW fans.

Srsly, brah? Old Republic era is a HELL of a lot more interesting than anything else.
I'm running out of polite ways to ask you to quit fvcking lying. There's a tremendous difference between the shit you claim I'm disagreeing with and the shit I actually did disagree with.

Someone's obviously lost his little temper.
I don't see how you red-bolding my personal opinion validates anything other than my opinion. Let's keep this in perspective here...

^ This was your retort to my personal opinion and explanation to Blax, since I felt he was undercutting the Old Republic era without any real consideration (Much like Lucien and Blade Runner). You then declined into numbers battles first with DS, and then I took up the torch because I felt your point lacked real merit.
So when you provide how I'm lying about what both you and I have clearly quoted that you said, I'll continue this discussion. Until then, take your Ritalin and calm down, brah.
Back to the topic at hand:
Jesus H. Christ, if you want my attention so fvcking bad, keep it civil. That's it. Lighthearted jabs and teasing is acceptable and even encouraged, but caustic bullshit simply because I don't share your feelings on a fvcking video game is absurd.
That is one of two things I ask of people. The other is not to intentionally misrepresent my argument by saying that I disagree with "the Old Republic is enjoyable" when in reality I disagreed with "the Old Republic is more interesting than anything else."

Wherever did you get the impression I wasn't being civil? I've outright treated you with kidgloves compared to what I'm normally inclined to do. You're just unusually testy tonight. I guess Neph is denying you nookie or something but really man... Breathe out for a second.
Hey Gid, was this what you were talking about with Mara knowing more about the Force than Luke?
QUOTE from Vision of the Future:
"No, I know," [Luke Skywalker] conceded. "I made a decision to stop using the power of the Force so much."
And suddenly, through that mixture of compassion and impatience came a wave of something completely unexpected. An overpowering flood of relief. "You got it," Mara said quietly. "Finally."
Luke shook his head. "But why?" he demanded. "The power's obviously there, available for a Jedi to use. Is it just because I touched the dark side that using it is so bad for me?"
"That's probably part of it," Mara said. "But even if you'd never done that you'd still have run into trouble. You ever been in a hullplate-shaping plant?"
"Ah - no," Luke said, blinking at the sudden change of topic.
"How about an ore-crushing facility?" she suggested. "Lando's had a couple of them at one time or another - you must have visited at least one of them."
"I've seen the one on Varn, yes," Luke said, the mention of Lando's name throwing a sudden damper on the cautiously growing feeling of excitement at these new revelations. Mara's relationship with Lando...
"Fine," Mara said, either missing the change in Luke's emotions or else ignoring it. "Sometimes small songbirds set up their nests in the upper supports of those buildings. Did you hear any of them singing when you were there?"
Luke smiled tightly. Again, it was so obvious. "Of course not," he said. "It was way too noisy in there to hear anything that quiet."
Mara smiled back. "Pretty obvious, isn't it, once you see it. The Force isn't just about power, like most non-Jedi think. It's also about guidance: everything from those impressive future visions to the more subtle realtime warnings I sometimes think of as a danger sense. Trouble is, the more you tap into it for raw power, the less you're able to hear its guidance over the noise of your own activity."
"Yes," Luke murmured, so many puzzles suddenly coming clear. He had often wondered how it was he could rebuild Darth Vader's personal fortress while Master Yoda had become winded doing something as relatively simple as lifting an X-wing from the Dagobah swamp. Clearly, Yoda had understood the choices far better than his upstart pupil.
And even in the short time since Luke had decided to try that same choice he'd already seen glimpses of why Yoda had chosen that path. Subtle bits of guidance, sometimes occurring as little more than vague and almost subconscious feelings, had been showing up more and more: protecting him from a quick capture back at the Cavrilhu Pirates' asteroid base, or quietly prompting him to accept Child Of Winds's assistance, which had led directly to this cavern and the pride-motivated aid of the Qom Jha. "I was on Iphigin a couple of months ago helping Han with some negotiations," he said. "The Diamala at the talks told Han that Jedi who used as much power as I did always ended up slipping over to the dark side."
"They may be right," Mara agreed. "Not all Dark Jedi come from botched training, you know. Some of them slip into it all by themselves."
Really interesting. Color me intriqued. Zahn seems like he really gets it.
