 Star wars the old Republic: new Content or just wishful thinking?


Hello readers,


It’s rare i write on the video game concept blog, but i have been playing Star Wars the Old Republic recently and while playing it, i had a couple thoughts.


While I am aware this game was made and released back in 2011. The game still releases new content and stories, which is shocking here in 2025, more thant 14 years after it’s release. Anyways I always thought this game was fun, but it needed more stories and classes. 


Classes

First I would like to discuss some of my concepts for more Class stories and their counterparts on either Dark or Lightside, that i think could make this game very replayable for the next 20 years.


The MOFF and Senator 

While we currently have the Imperial Agent, my argument is that they aren’t exactly an officer of the Empire. It is my opinion a new story following an Imperial Officer threw the ranks of Lieutenant to Moff can be a fun tale to play being a support role for the game.


On the Republic Side, characters like Padme Amidala, and Bail Organa have always been heroes who went on relief and exciting adventures, perhaps its time players got the chance to represent a world in the senate,with a new support class, the Senator.


The Jedi Sentinel and Emperor's Royal Guard

In KOTOR we originally were given 3 classes of Jedi, The Sentinel, The Counselor and the Guardian. In The Old republic we are given two choices currently, the Jedi Counselor is in the game and the Jedi Knight is practically the Guardian, the final class is the Jedi Sentinel, the guardians of the Jedi Temples, who could be a unique story feature for the game, as they travel to sights around the galaxy to defend the republic or as a guard


Counter to them, the guards of the Sith Temple on Korriban, the Royal Honor Guard of the Sith, could be a fun story to tell, as players make their way through the ranks of the Empire as the most Elite Guards of the Sith Empire, perhaps this story takes a turn as this guard learns they are force sensitive and we are introduced to a new class of imperial guard in TOR. 



The Jedi Master and The Sith Lord

While the current Jedi and Sith Classes eventually end in their character becoming a Jedi Master or Sith Lord, perhaps a new story can be made where players start as these and must act to do their deeds and own ambitions by the will of the Dark Council, taking a more similar role to the Commander in the TORKOTET story, where they are already in charge and they are doing what needs to be done to win the war. When crafting these stories perhaps developers can take inspiration from characters like Palapatine or Yoda.


The Sith Trooper and Republic Agent

While we have The Republic Trooper and Imperial Agent, an opportunity is out there to do the reverse story for the Republic and the Sith, with players playing as similar classes for the opposing side.


SPECIES to Play as:

The second concept I have is for new species to be added to the game most recently, Togruta and Nautolan have been added to the game and I am always excited to see what can be done when it comes to Customization in game on my list of species players should be able to play as are the following. 

  1. The Khaleesh: every story seems to have at least one appear and it’s about time we play as them

  2. Kel Dor: we know they are in the game,and Plo Koon is a fan favorite

  3. Chagrian: this may be a tricky one to customize but i have faith in developers

  4. Bith: perhaps not the most interesting to customize but could be fun

  5. Devaronian: these fireproof, aliens could have a unique ability

  6. Mon Calamari: we have plenty of them in game and with new classes this could be a fun species to customize and play as.

  7. Rodian:Rodians aren’t just Green, but Blue, Purple and Yellow, perhaps they can be a fun addition to the game

  8. Voss: a species i think would be amazing to customize and play as is the Voss, who always surprise me aren’t already playable in game

  9. Weequay: this brutish pirates could be fun for Jedi, Smugglers and Bounty Hunters

  10. Cerean: Ki Adi Mundi, is one of the first Jedi on the Jedi council i think of I wish I could play and make a Species the same species as him

  11. Sullustan: the Sullustan is another one I would find difficult to customize, however this species could be fun for smugglers 

  12. The Trandoshun:the trandoshun would be fun for bounty hunters or Sith, given their wicked nature, but then again you do get one as a companion as a Jedi counselor

  13. The Wookie: different braids, hair and armor,exclusive to the wookie class could be fun for players, and if they chose a jedi, melee damage could be increased

  14. Umbaran: one of the few species on this list that isn’t already in the game, the Umbaran could be fun for Player playing as Sith.

  15. Zygerrian: we already have the Cathar, but the Zygerrian Slavers could be fun to play as well. 

  16. Gungans: this species could be fun to play as regardless of how you feel about Jar Jar

  17. Pau’An: the ageless upper class of the planet Utapau

Planets we need to see in game:

  1. Umbara: the shadow World, imagine bringing this planet with its dangerous flora and Umbaran tech to life

  2. Glee Anselm: the home world of the Nautolan species, perhaps an underwater city could be fun

  3. Naboo: the home of Padme amidala, I am surprised the developers for this game haven’t added it already to see Theed being built centuries before Episode I could be fun

  4. Kel Dor: we have had few planets poison to players, but Kel Dor, could be a fun planet to introduce

  5. Bespin: Cloud city is a huge part of the original trilogy perhaps it's time we ventured there years before The Galactic Empire

  6. Zygerria: it is said the Zygerrian’s were ancient enemies of the Jedi and Slavers perhaps we can get some fun vette dialogue and Zygerrian slave liberation missions

  7. Dathomir: the home of the Zabrak. We already have them in game but perhaps the Nightsisters foundings could be part of a greater story

  8. Felucia: a jungle world that is not yet in the game, could be fun

  9. Cato Neimodia: while small this planet could bring us into contact with an early version of the Trade Federation

  10. Batuu: as many readers know I love Galaxy’s Edge,but imagine the ability to travel to travel to BSO before Dok Ondar or Oga Garra. 

  11. Utapau: the sink holes of Utapau could be fun to explore

  12. Mustafar: the location of the most iconic battle of the franchise. 


New features:

  1. Sith Coruscant and Republic Korriban: players should be able to finally travel to the central most well guarded worlds of their opposing sides.

  2. Sabaacc/Pazzak/Dejarik: we have been playing Sabaac in other games its time our favorite RPG got it too. Even KOTOR had Pazzak

  3. Armor that evolves with the character/fully cosmettic: some players enjoy getting their story armor and leveling up with it, contrary to this players buy armor and pieces from the Cartel Market, and then have to tediously level up their armor which costs credits as they play. I would argue that the armor should level up with the player allowing armor to always be cosmetic with no value to the player.

  4. Cybernetics for all species: while currently the Cyborg is a species to player as all species should be able to become cyborgs.

  5. Human Creeds: human players should get a bonus for picking up a creed, which can also lead to some fun interactions

    1. Mandalorian

    2. Alderaan

    3. Chandrilla

    4. Naboo

    5. Etc.

What do you think they should add, did I miss anythink let me know, what you think?
