Medrit Beviin and Goran Beviin. Unless you actually read the Star Wars EU heavily you're unlikely to have ever heard of them. Goran is like, the second in line to become Madalore (head Mandalorian honcho) after Boba Fett dies. Not that Boba Fett is really such a great exemplar of Mandalorianness, but there you have it...
I'M WEARING A LEGO STAR WARS T-SHIRT! /geek Ahem.
However, if you like KoToR, maybe you'd like the new KoToR comic book series they're currently doing? (I think issue 16 just came out, and the first couple of graphic novels are around). I'm actually extremely impressed with it. It's set about 8 years before the game and is about the build-up to the war, but focusing on this (ex-)Padawan named Zayne Carrick who's, well, refreshingly a complete klutz and kind of crappy/mediocre at everything, rather than the next uber-Force-user. He's on the run with this hilarious "entrepreneur" trying to escape a bunch of Jedi Masters who want to kill him. It manages to combine wonderful comedy with absolute devastation and tragedy. It's really quite impressive...
including some really quite sepctacularly wrong stuff.
Well, to be fair, I think I'd be disappointed if Star Wars didn't manage to compete in the "most WRONG fanfic" category. Though I still think Lord of the Rings has us licked. Um. Yeah. That sounded filthy...
The Beviins... are they brothers? Is this star wars sibcest territory here? :)
LEGO STAR WARS WAS SO COOL!
Hell, even the first one was fun, probably a slightly better game than the second, but the second wins just because its proper star wars. Lego princess leia slavegirl outfit was hilarious. My only complaing was I wish the game had been a bit longer, me and my friend finished it very very quickly.
Oh, and lightsabres just weren't as good as a blaster.
I had no idea there was a KOTOR comic. I shall look out for it. There were some good star wars comics.
... and yes, that sounded very filthy.
Amidala And The Sand People. Now *that* was wrong.

Well someone's gotta pick up the ball that Luke and Leia dropped...
:p
But seriously, I imagine they just picked a surname and one of them changed it. I wonder how they decided which one... *remembers that her boyfriend is going to change his name when she gets married even though it kinda weird her out...* Eh, takes all sorts...
LEGO STAR WARS WAS SO COOL!
I KNOW!

Yeah, I agree - though I think the second one also wins because PROPER make-your-own-character-outta-lego! And vehicles!

But nothing beats a blaster by your side!

And some dire ones... I totally recommend getting the comics - support the industry and all. I think the first two graphic novels are out, though I'm not sure (I collect the single issues). But if you want me to throw you some digital copies of the first couple of issues to get a feel for it, let me know.

I just read that they are developing a special edition of the Star Wars Lego games, both games in one, souped up for the 360 and PS3, with additional features and a few more levels... I'm not inclined to pay to pay a game twice, but more Lego Star Wars?
I'm not too excited about the thought of Lego Batman which is I understand going to be the next new lego game.
I'll see if I can get the comics from my library. I have a few virtual comics, but for some reason I find reading a comic off the monitor a much less satisyfing experiance than sitting down with the paper in my hand, and a cup of tea, and turning the pages.
I'd be more excited about the lego star wars revelation if I had or was likely to get either a 360 or a PS3, but we look mostly likely to get a Wii if anything, and even then no time soon. (I get the least say in such things because I nearly never play games).
Lego Batman?! Wow, that's...hilarious! But then, this webcomic strip has shown me the light; Batman is comedy gold. He can make anything funny. Just imagine him gardening...

I completely agree! Though I've developed a strange fondness for the individual issues - I love sitting down with a huge stack of single-issue comics. I think I like the 1940s serialised nostalgia (well, a 1980s child's Sky-Captain twisted imagined nostalgia...) they bring with them. It's a different style and pace of story telling.
Though I do have digital copies of my favourite comics in case something happens to the actual paper copies. Fortunately I don't collect too many comics or I think I'd have serious storage issues...
I ~might~ get a 360 if the price comes down a bit more, and if they release an updated version of the machine that runs just a little bit quieter. The damned things sound like hoovers the way they are at the moment.
As for the PS3, it's just too expensive for a console. If I'm spending that sort of money, I'll get a cutting edge PC instead.
And yep, Lego Batman is next. There were rumours that a Lego Indiana Jones was in design too.
