KotOR1 Swoop Racer

Posted 7/15/2004.


I was displeased with the Swoop racing in Knights of the Old Republic. You're only racing against times with no other racers on the tracks. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised, since it was just a mini-game. But it was kind of fun anyway, I guess.


This is what the Swoop looks like in the game. It doesn't look much like a traditional Swoop Bike, does it? Nevertheless, these were apparently what Swoops looked like in the days of the Old Republic.


Note the three different shades of orange I was forced to use. Why can't LEGO pick a shade and stick wit it anymore? The racing pilot of this Swoop is your typical dashingly handsome young rogue. Not the Jeff Gordon type, however. Totally different.


The part of the swoop that you, the player, see the most often is the back end. Remember, don't hit the gas until the last light is lit!


These are the positions that Canderous and HK-47 always stand at in the Ebon Hawk, right in front of your Swoop. Sorry for the lack of the appropriate Ebon Hawk herself. It would have to be... very big. I never quite got around to doing such a huge project.
