    I think KOTOR has come to mean any kind of story set in that era for most of these entertainment sites. Whenever I see it I simply assume they mean an Old Republic era film instead of something specifically KOTOR related.

    I get so many enjoyed KOTOR but I agree with @The Regular Mustache - any story in the past, whether decades or thousands of years feels inconsequential because the outcome is already known.

    Despite my feelings of the ST - I hope the story moves forward. That's the only way for SW to take back the throne - to generate anticipation of unknown stories. None of the TV series feel that way, nor would KOTOR. They are just more history lessons.

    I hope theese movies are the only old republic trilogy, while other movies goes into the same timeline as the post ST or into the far future.

    Indeed. While I do think prequels can give us some good character moments I want more than that. I'm much more interested in seeing what direction the Jedi go in after Rey ostensibly brings them back. Would the Jedi be reconstituted to resemble the Jedi from the PT? Would they have different rules? Would there even be an organized group for the Jedi or would they all be doing their own thing? Will the Jedi have leaders? Will it be decentralized? Would it be some combination of all the above?

    I want to see how/if freedom returns to the galaxy after TROS. I want to see how the good guys go about preventing yet another evil empire from rising. I want to see what happens to the people that were part of the First Order, (assuming the FO loses in TROS). Where do they go and what do they do? And what about the Resistance? They were a splinter group from the New Republic. I'd think there would be some lingering tension between the surviving members of the people in charge of the New Republic and the people that were in the Resistance. Seems like they could mine that for drama. Would former members of the Resistance be resentful towards people in the galaxy that sat on the sidelines and didn't join in the fight against the FO? Will there be any comeuppance for the military industrial complex that sold weapons to both sides as touched on in TLJ?

    That's what I want to see from a Weiss and Benioff movie. Or they could do something small scale and focus on a small neighborhood or one particular city and use that as microcosm to address the things I touched on above.

    Any story set in the future has the same restraints.....And would have the same general outcome that a story about the ancient jedi/sith would.....No matter how many movies or plot twists....its all going to boil down to good guys and girls beat the bad people.

    Its just about what questions/setting interest you more.....

    I hope we get the best of two worlds D and D gives us Old Republic and once there mutible of tv shows (live action and animation), comics, novels maybe even other movies - spin offs. Then the other trilogy with Rian we could be getting Post ST or far into the furture, but in both cases new characters in the unkown meeting upon a jedi who train them in the force and a new threat is coming, but small conflicts like in TPM and this new jedi along side it's mentor must free this system and in the end he/she becomes a jedi padawan and must train in one of the jedi temples in the galaxy witch ate many.

    Disagree. Anything in the past still is close-ended because you know how it ends up eventually. Even if you believe good will win out there still is unknowns in the future. In the past its just filler details.

    Yess it's filler details witch also the prequels are. And thats why i hope one trilogy in the past and ne the furture so both parties is satisfied. Both eras gives interesting story to see on sceen in the past with sith and jedi. The future movies could go into more smaller conflicts like TPM and have jedi as theese guardians of peace and justice with some dark side users trying to stop you.

    I don't agree with that at all - "how it ends up eventually" isn't that important if 'eventually' is thousands of years in the future. Hopefully a potential KOTOR series of films wouldn't only be about telling the backstory of the Jedi and Sith and to give us "filler details", but actually be about characters whose fates we're interested in.
    Even if we know Palpatine will rise to power and then be defeated in four thousand years doesn't mean we know how the particular story being told in these movies will end.

    Agree to disagree. I do find "how it ends up eventually" to be critical. No matter what KOTOR story we know its going to end up setting things up how the PT began.

    Not to say it won't be interesting but I won't find it as engaging. Similar to my feelings about the PT. Hard to have any mystery to a story when you know how it will eventually end.

    Not really. We're talking about an era that is over three thousand years before TPM. The Sith didn't disappear until one thousand years before TPM. There's a huge gap of time there where literally anything can happen. Now if we were talking about showing the origins of Darth Bane then yes that sets up the PT world somewhat (still a very long time in between though) but that's not what KOTOR is.

    I literally cannot watch the movie Troy because I know how the Greco-Turkish war of 1919 ended.

    The thing is if LFL does the SW in the future, they will be limiting whatever comes after the ST as well.

    The director's cut is decent. A lot better than the theatrical cut.

    I love this scene. In some parts of the german speaking regions a Hektor is this:

  21. I have a feeling that Revan will return like Thrawn
    The character is very popular and they wanted him back in TCW
    I'm pretty sure he is in the top list of Legends characters that can come back
    And plus I did not like how his story ended in SWTOR I would like to see another ending for Revan but at the same time I'm afraid that they gonna ruin his character again

    I agree that, unless they make the Old Republic era radically different from the EU, Revan will almost certainly return in some capacity. Hell, his popularity might even bring him back even if the era is radically changed. However, I doubt much of his storyline from the games will remain the same. In broad strokes perhaps, but it'll most likely be an "in name/design only" Revan.

    Personally though, I don't care that much about Revan (never played the games properly). I want Exar Kun back! :p

    Revan is coming back but would be fun if didn't know until you saw the movie and be surprised like in the game. Also Exar Kun was almost brought back in Solo so you were almost lucky there.

    yeah Dryden Vo's desk in the yatch was supposed to be stone made from Exar Kun's sith temple i believe. Concepts arts. So i think there's a chance of coming back to. there was a video of Pablo explaining all stuff in the yatch in Solo.
