KOTOR is very much its own thing and that’s thanks to BioWare bringing its RPG Midas Touch to George Lucas’ fictional world. There’s no familiarity in the footsoldiers and the dynamic between the opposing forces is unlike anything we’re used to. It’s a historical deep-dive into what the Sith and Jedi used to be like prior to the infamous rule of two. Knights of the Old Republic is so distinctly set apart from the films, comics, novels, other games, shows, and Angry Birds tie-ins that any narrative it tells means little to ‘modern’ Star Wars as we know it. RELATED: The Obi-Wan Kenobi Series Needs To Be Nothing Like The Mandalorian Fans constantly circle back to it every single time something from Star Wars’ history gets dredged back up, but does a story not being in the same world as another truly diminish your enjoyment?. It’s time to pull off the canon discourse’s band-aid. If they contradict each other, it shouldn’t really matter.
Trying to organize what fictional stories are in the same universe as other fictional stories is an asinine task that benefits nobody.

Opening the PlayStation Showcase with a weird chess advert followed by a KOTOR reveal was a bold move but, for the most part, the response has been positive. Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic is making a comeback in the best way possible, as a fully-fledged remake rebuilt from the ground up for modern consoles.
