VIDEO Is Knights of the Old Republic franchise canon?

When did I say that, exactly? All I said was that KOTOR was good (great, even) and should be enjoyed regardless of whether Disney considers it canon. I made no statements as to my opinion of the EU overall.

I definitely don't despise it. Perhaps you should take the proverbial "chill pill."

it's as if Nerd Rage found physical manifestation.

 

Well, when you wasted 20 years of your life invested in the franchise, only to find out some jackass company who has no business owning it, decides to make it non-canon just to make their **** quick buck, yeah I would be pissed.

 

I was a fan of the EU before TPM came out, and it crapped on the EU.

I was a fan when the Powers What Be decided to infuse prequels mediocrity into the stories.

I've been a fan for close to 35 years.

The death of the EU was the best thing to happen for decades.

And Disney will do the same for Star Wars, and I liked the prequels, because it's original and it didn't cater to what people felt about it, I like it more now that people hated it and if Disney considers it non-canon I'm giving up on Star Wars as an whole.

 

you...
liked the prequels?

 

Yep, mainly because you hated it.

 

So... you like it out of spite?

 

Yes gosh you sure showed me!

 

No flaming, no matter who you are directing it at.

 

KOTOR is one of the few high quality pieces of EU with mass market appeal. I can easily see them bringing into the new canon at some point. More and more stuff from that period has appeared in canon sources (Hammerhead cruisers in Rebels, Selkath in the Clone Wars, Malachor and Rakata Prime in the Visual Dictionary etc). I doubt they'll make everything from that period canon, but maybe the bigger elements such as Revan can be slotted into the wider universe.

 

I wouldn't be surprised if some KOTOR elements get recanonized.

 

Yeah, you won't get a better Sandpeople back story and it it seems Rakata Prime has snuck back in. Other than the movies this was the best Star Wars story and the game(s) had a huge Star Wars advantage over the books they were visual and audible media which forced them to share the same universe and rules to a degree text cannot.

Star Wars is to be seen and heard, the written stuff is only successfully Star Wars when it fleshed out further what is seen in my opinion. The game had a chance to be high quality Star Wars (some of them were good books in and of themselves though many more were not) because you could see it and experience it in a similar way to the way you could the movies.

I don't think we will see Revan or The Exile in the same forms though, I suspect Rey is kinda a mix of the two mind wiped and will start awakening others around her to the force.
