I’m not saying it’s impossible, but I think there’s a reason it’s taken 17 years for a KOTOR remake to be considered again, and it ain’t gonna be easy to pull off.įollow me on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. Particularly if the rumors are that Disney is considering a live-action version of KOTOR in some capacity which would have to choose a canon path.Īs much as I would like to see a full-on KOTOR remake, I think there are a lot of hurdles to making this happen, both on the game production side with what’s currently on EA’s plate, but also about Disney greenlighting this entire chunk of story to become new era canon, while at the same time potentially considering a live action version of the main KOTOR storyline. So I wonder if a new version of this game would be less about a choice and more about reaching that fixed story destination. The original game chose its own “canon” ending eventually, saying that Revan follows the “light side male” playthrough path.

A core component of Bioware’s original game was player choice, but that means that you are then stuck with potentially multiple canon endings depending on how you as the player choose to act, either good or evil. While Disney-era Star Wars has recently confirmed that at least the name “Revan” is canon with a Rise of Skywalker easter egg, a game like this would mean the entire KOTOR story is now canon. Then there’s the question of what’s “canon.”
