The next step was to watchĮvery Star Wars movie, read every book and comic book about the Expanded Universe and even sitting through The Star Wars Holiday Special. He began with determining what was considered fun in the gameplay elements and what kind of story would have to be developed to complement those elements. Chris Avellone, Lead designer for the project, felt that it would be a challenging task to create a sequel to what he felt was an amazing story that BioWare had developed for the original Knights of the Old Republic and that there would be a lot of pressure created for the team.

" The first story draft was pretty terrible, mostly because we weren't allowed to play K1 before drafting it, so we really knew nothing about the first game and were writing in the dark (Revan who?)." ― Chris Avellone, Lead Designer for The Sith Lords at Obsidian Entertainment, talking about story development.
