Thanks! added them to my steam wishlist. Any particular order or it does not matter as stories are different?
Again - these are 20 year old games and may not hold up today. Maybe check reviews for that.
I don't remember if the stories are linked but anyway earlier games i think are better anyway so start with first one for both and get 2nd one if you liked the first one. They are usually cheap on sale.
1) Jedi knight games are 3rd person lightsabre games with great level design among other things. Outcast first and if you like it then Academy.
2) KOTOR 1, 2 - bioware rpgs. Like mass effect before mass effect. Not related to jedi knight.
3) Republic commando is not related to any other game. I think it was squad based fps.
These were great games when i played them. I really really loved Jedi knight/KOTOR back then and since then no star wars game has ever come even close for me.
Fallen order was disappointing for me maybe because it had good reviews and i had memory of those games as reference.
Will try to play it as its own game and hopefully ill like it eventually.
There are other star wars games in between but most of them i did not play. There is ofc the mmo too - Star Wars: The Old Republic - which is sort of like KOTOR maybe. I have not played it because its an mmo but i probably should. I have heard that it has good writing i think. Can look at this if you like KOTORs. Epic also gave away some of recent star wars games.
