The video games ''Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (video game), Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic'' (2003) and ''Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords'' (2004) features a large cast of characters noted for its diversity and is the subject of significant discussion from gaming magazines and websites.

Kreia
Kreia is a character and party member in Obsidian Entertainment's video game '' Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords''. She is a blind Force-sensitive who forms a "bond" with the player character, the Jedi Exile, through the Force. Kreia sets herself up as the Exile's mentor, and rejects the divide of the light and dark side of the Force, as well as the predestination the Force entails. By the game's end, it is revealed she is the Sith Lord Darth Traya and is planning on destroying the Force, and she becomes the final boss of ''The Sith Lords''. Kreia makes no more appearances in ''Star Wars'' fiction, though a miniature by Wizards of the Coast was released in August 2008, and she appears as an obtainable character in '' Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes''. Written by Chris Avellone, the character was created as a sounding board for the game's theme of the role of the Jedi and the nature of the Force, and was heavily influenced by '' Planescape: Torment''s Ravel ...
