Wow, I'm glad I managed to catch this file before anyone else did! I'm a great fan of the Old Republic Era in Star Wars history, and this skin pack just so happens to contain several of my favourite Sith characters. Darth Bane and Darth Revan probably tie as my favourite, since I have enjoyed reading the new Darth Bane novels, and KotOR is one of my favourite games of all time, Darth Nihilus comes in close behind, since well, he was just weird, but in a cool bad guy kinda way. Darth Ruin is a character I have only ever seen in the Jedi Vs Sith: The Essential Guide to the Force book, but is nonetheless another cool looking bad guy!

Interestingly, each one of these skins uses the same model and despite this look very different. You would have thought that four skins all using the same model would look a bit samey but the author has done a good job of making each of these look unique (Darth Bane's face looking particularly impressive considering the texture was 'photosourced' as making photosouced textures look just right can be tricky). Whilst the model used doesn't look like characters do in their reference material, the good texturing means you don't really notice the discrepancy too much.

Although custom models for each character would be cool the main thing I would like to see for any future versions are some custom sounds, for Darth Revan and Darth Nihilus this shouldn't be too much of a problem since you could probably get a little sound bite from KotOR and KotOR 2. Darth Bane and Darth Ruin would be more difficult, but I'm sure a suitable sounding taunt could be found somewhere!

Apart from that though I am most impressed with this skin pack, not least because it brings some more of my favourite characters into JKA. I also like how each skin looks unique despite using the same player model, which could have caused problems, but thankfully didn't as the model fits pretty well with each of the characters. Finally these skins also include team support and bot support, which rounds up the pack nicely!

Keep up the good work Lord Parias, I hope you will make more Old Republic themed characters! (Lord Kaan is one I would like to see wink)
