I'd be happy with just a remastered kotor2 tslrcm.

    I just want them to finish the KotOR 1 remake already...

    I love this 😂🤩. The KOTOR games are the foundation of philosophy and lore that I measure all other Star Wars by. Really great stuff.

    SWTOR is KOTOR3 for me.

    Similar story telling, setting, dialogue, choices, morals and powers.

    Only they added multiplayer and a cosmetics shop.

    Oddly it's probably become less KOTOR over time, compared to how it was at launch.

    And then the eternal empire happened 😕

    Cool sci-fi concept, but didn't feel very star wars to me.

    That was really a bad move, in hindsight.

    Painted themselves into so many corners they've never gotten back out of.

    I hated how it played though. And there was so much filler. And a subscription fee. And no mods.

    Fair enough, each to their own!

    I didn't feel it played too different to the originals, much of the filler was fun and the fee is optional, so I loved the game.

    I've never looked into mods for the first two, except the restoration project, so have no opinion on that point!

    And a subscription fee

    To be fair, they made it free to play 13 years ago, less than a year after release.

    The website still makes it look like there's a subscription and "cartel coins" to buy. I tried to free sometime in the past 10 years and the free mode felt limited. I think you can't sprint , or something insulting like that?

    Nah The Old Republic is why we never got a 3rd KotOR. Same reason why we don't have Elder Scrolls 6 or GTA6. Why would they make a new game when they're still making a shitload of money off mmo games that people are still playing years later?

    As soon as I found out The Old Republic had a subscription fee I knew KotOR was doomed.

    Mechanically kotor 1 is a great game, kotor 2 is more or less broken and unfinished. Story in both of them is nonsensical and quests sometimes are just insane. Just replayed both games after 15 years.

    I always hold onto all my grenades for the final fight in KOTOR1.

    If Kotor cannot be canon then I don't want the story...

    I'm currently playing X-Wing. And what little story there is is still better than Squadrons' shiny clean turd.

    Looking forward to XWVM enabling TIE Fighter compatibility.

    I really liked Star Wars before I played the KOTOR games. I really loved Star Wars after I played them.

    Just KOTOR's? JUST! Let me tell you something you little shit, I would burn everything Catlin Kennedy has ever built to the ground for... Well just for the opportunity, BUT! , I would also settle for the KOTOR's over any other star wars to exist.

    Kotos 2 was a great story but not a great game.

    It should be a movie.

    I don't know, I feel like the agency you get from it being a game was pretty important to the message and philosophy to me, and so was the length. Having to pick dialogue options really makes you think about what's going on more, and for me at least I tend to treat the main character as sort of a projection of myself, which ups the emotional stakes.

    It should be a series, with a bit of theatrical (not opera) feel. A bit like B5, but slowly flowing and thoughtful.

    Actually like Shaman King (both the Japanese original of anime and the manga are good, haven't yet seen the remake of the anime). I don't care if you call me nuts. I am.

    Onderon and Dxun can be expanded upon this way.

    Honestly, that has to be done, but not somehow to make some money, it can way a couple of decades until a group of people just right makes it.

    Doesn't even have to be the same universe or the same brand, I think Lucas himself wouldn't care about the brand.

    Actually no, there is a hurry, we have to do it while he's still alive. I'll be needing a team (like 100) of artists following Bushido, knowledgeable in Blender, Pov-Ray and drawing anime and manga, a team (like 20) of electronic musicians with black belts in PureData, Rosegarden, folk Arabic, classical and popular Persian, classical Chinese and Japanese music, knowledge of microtonal music, computing resources of of the OpenAI scale, office space of the Jedi Temple size, and a year.

    EDIT: Joking, of course, it's not this simple even having the resources.

    I read a comment somewhere that said the new Disney canon had become as convoluted and full of holes in 10 years as the 40 year old Expanded Universe it was supposed to replace.

    It became convoluted and full of holes in its first wave, mwahaha.

    And the EU could be separated into a few distinct parts, which, if separated (for each to be "unreliable narration" for characters existing in others), were not all that convoluted and full of holes, not at all.

    With Disney canon unreliable narration just doesn't help. It still doesn't make sense or point.

    I thought The Old Republican Republic was a continuation.

    It is. But it's also "not canon" after Disney bought Star Wars.

    Non-canon until it isn’t.

    We’ve seen mention of the Rakata in Andor for example.

  • If the Rakatan Empire is canon KOTOR is canon and Disney's opinion doesn't matter.
