## In this episode

Knights of the Old Republic lets the player live in the galaxy through moral choice, companions, and relationships that change the fate of worlds. In this conversation the Fellowship presses past light/dark meter-gaming to Jolee Bindo: labeled a gray Jedi in the stats, he chooses kindness and the good while rejecting a corrupted Jedi institution. That is not 50/50 neutrality. As Augustine puts it, you are what you love; what defines you is what you face and move toward.

Dr. Andrew Snyder is joined by Josh, David, and Ian for a roundtable on BioWare’s 2003 classic. They weigh immersion versus shooters, Revan’s memory wipe and whether a light-side path is genuine conversion or Jedi programming, Bastila’s fall under Malak, squad play and companion personality, and why a scale-balance morality system (help enough space old ladies, then enslave Wookiees) cannot capture the orientation of the soul. Jolee and Qui-Gon become Reformation-style critics who keep the light’s goal while refusing institutional self-interest: the light side as a real good, not a yin-yang half.
