Just a quick update: earlier today it was reported that Knights of the Old Republic is indeed under development by BioWare, which was reportedly confirmed by EA chief John Riccitiello.

“We’ve got two of the most compelling MMOs in the industry in development,” said Riccitiello. The first title, based on the Warhammer property, will launch soon. “And the one that people are dying for us to talk to them about — in partnership with Lucas, coming out of BioWare, which is, I think, quite possibly the most anticipated game, full stop, for the industry at the point when we get closer to telling you about it.”

Does Riccitiello mean the oft rumored Knights of the Old Republic Online? “Yes,” he said.

So it appears that yes, the rumors are true. This is very, VERY interesting. If KOTOR is indeed trodding the MMO path, then that says more about the failures of Galaxies than anything else. Has LucasArts given up on Galaxies? After today’s announcement, I’d say yes. The good news is that this new MMO is in the capable hands of BioWare (and out of the hands of Sony).

I saw that your site features some spoof/play on Star Wars content. I thought you and your readers might like to check out some of the spoof videos that are on the Spike website. :)

May the force be with you!

It doesnt involve revan. revan is dead. killed by nihilus. nihilus wears revan’s skull.

nihilus isnt dead, he shows up thousands of years later in the star wars timeline.

it doesnt involve the exile. the exile started the new jedi order and never picked up a lightsaber in combat ever again.

the kotor mmo is completely freeform and storyless. world of warcraft with lightsabers and wookies.

you all would have known this if you did your research. lucas has already released a cannon storyline about the fate of the exile, and nihilus’ return. and they blow it on revan too.

they tell you nihilus’ mask is the skull of the most powerful jedi the universe had ever seen unto that time. that person fought nihilus years before the exile, and was defeated because of nihilus’ unique power to feed off of the force. but the jedi was succesful in ripping out nihilus’ consciousness. that marked the transformation into nihilus the hungerer, who then wore the skull of his greatest adversary as a mark of dominance.

revan IS dead. there will NOT be a rich story in the mmo. there will NOT be a normal kotor 3. stop complaining. if you dont want the mmo, dont get it. if you are expectin revan and the exile, dont get it.

sorry to burst your bubble guys, but this is all canon sources.
