So, when I have to cut them off at the fourth mention of a planet with a name that sounds like a sneeze to let them know they are mistaken, they feel, rightfully so, lied to. I’m reviewing all of the Boss Fight Books releases, so subscribe to my YouTube channel to be sure you don’t miss future reviews.Īnytime I talk about Star Wars, I feel like I have to qualify everything with the statement “I’ve never seen a Star Wars movie.” The fandom is simply so passionate, that it’s important to acknowledge my distance to the material for fear of saying something wrong or, more often in real life conversations, the person on the other end will immediately jump into discussions of lore and character arcs assuming they’re talking with someone equally passionate. "Right now, I have no idea where things might fall.(click the image below to watch the video review) At Star Wars Celebration in April 2019, Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy said: "Yes, we are developing something to look at," after being asked about KOTOR. The next obvious question is, is Lucasfilm setting up a KOTOR movie?īack in May 2019, it was reported a film based on KOTOR was in the works. We're not quite there yet with Starkiller, but what's clear is Lucasfilm is big on The Old Republic era of Star Wars, and is dipping into BioWare's KOTOR games to flesh it out for its new and improved expanded universe. But what about characters from LucasArts' 2008 game Star Wars: The Force Unleashed? Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker: The Visual Dictionary's Sith Legion table also references Darth Phobos and Darth Desolous, who were both first seen in The Force Unleashed, and were eventually defeated by the overpowered Starkiller. So, Revan is very much Star Wars canon now. Its founder was Revan.Įven earlier, an official book suggested a link between Kylo Ren's Lightsaber in Star Wars: The Force Awakens and KOTOR. Jedi Crusaders were a renegade faction of the Jedi Order that battled against the Mandalorians 5000 years before the Star Wars movies. According to the book, Star Wars: The Last Jedi: The Visual Dictionary, this is a "fragmented Sith lightsaber crystal." that forms a part of a "recovered Jedi Crusader pendant". Eagle-eyed viewers of that movie may have noticed a subtle nod to Revan in the film. Perhaps Lucasfilm's move to make Revan canon should come as no surprise, given it hinted as much in The Last Jedi. KOTOR's big twist - and most famous moment - is when this is made known to the player late in the game, at a time when Revan is thought to be dead. In KOTOR, Revan is a former Sith who suffers from amnesia and is brainwashed by the Jedi to serve their cause. THERE MAY BE THE KNIGHTS OF THE OLD REPUBLIC SPOILERS AHEAD. The third notable Sith Trooper legion is called Revan Legion, which makes Revan from KOTOR canon. The book has a page on the Sith Troopers, which are organised into legions each named after "an ancient Sith lord". The Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker: The Visual Dictionary book references Revan from BioWare's wonderful 2003 Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic game, making the popular playable protagonist canon again after Lucasfilm wiped the extended universe slate clean back in 2014. One of the best Star Wars video game characters ever is now canon - again.
