With KOTOR I: Escape from Taris officially out in the galaxy, we’re looking back on the journey.

In this conversation, we talk about what it was like to finish the film, the incredible reaction from Star Wars and KOTOR fans, some of the biggest struggles we faced along the way, and the moments that made it all worth it.

We also look ahead to KOTOR II: Search for the Star Forge and share what we learned from the first film, what we’re doing differently this time around, and what we’re most excited about as we continue the story.

The journey is far from over.

KOTOR II: Search for the Star Forge premieres May 4, 2027.

What was it like bringing one of the most iconic droids in gaming history to life?

In this episode of The Studio 70 Podcast, Studio 70 Executive Director Austin Parenti sits down with Kristoffer Tabori, the original voice of HK-47 from Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. Together, they discuss Kristoffer's career, the legacy of KOTOR, memorable moments behind the microphone, and advice for the next generation of filmmakers and performers.

Several Studio 70 students also had the opportunity to ask Kristoffer questions about his lifelong career, creative process, and what it takes to succeed in the entertainment industry.

Whether you're a longtime KOTOR fan, an aspiring voice actor, or simply love hearing behind-the-scenes stories from the film and gaming world, this is a conversation you won't want to miss.

A special thank you to Kristoffer Tabori for generously sharing his time and experience with our students.
