D&D are Writing and Producing the Next Trilogy, They have stated that this will be set 'Thousand of years before the prequels' and that 'Medieval flair with lightsaber battles'
i.e. The Old Republic, or Knights of The Old Republic
Can we cast some of the Potential KOTOR characters:
Darth Revan - Tom Hardy Darth Malak - Iwan Rheon Bastila Shan - Natalie Dormer Carth Onasi - Pedro Pascal Mission Vao - Chloë Grace Moretz Zaalbar - Peter Mayhew Canderous Ordo - Josh Brolin Juhani - Gemma Chan Jolee Bindo - Idris Elba T3-M4 - Vin Diesel HK-47 - CGI - Michael Carlisle Hall (VO) Darth Bandon - Edward Norton Saul Karath - Willem Dafoe Calo Nord - Jason Statham
>incels get pressured to have a KOTOR movie Yikes. They’re just gonna get yelled at for it not being as good as the game

>Medieval flair with lightsaber battles no thanks

The Old Republic is based 10k years before the movies.

wow so what
Christian Davis
what do you mean so what? they are supposed to make it feel 10,000 years older?
Eli Watson
Are they ever going to have a Darth Vaginal big bad? Or is that just always gonna be 'evil dude = white guy' destined to be defeated by brave gynoids and pocs.
John Sanders
>'Thousand of years before the prequels'
This sounds very bad
David Phillips
Didn't someone leak this like a month ago?
From what I remember: >Takes place on Jedha before "the cataclysm". >Pre-interplanetary travel, no advanced technology. >Sith build a prototype death star ziggurat that wrecks the atmosphere of the planet. >Main character is a Jedi girl that falls in love with a Sith boy.
So they're completely rewriting the ancient history of Star Wars.
Does anyone have a screencap and know what I'm talking about?
Andrew Russell
ive not heard of that, all i have heard is their intrest in the revan story of a greyside character and mandalorian wars.
Wyatt Ward
If they are smart they will be more faithful this time. It depends how independent from Kathleen they can be... and that depends on the fallout of Episode IX
Anthony Gutierrez
well darth vader was basically a nigger
Easton Perez
That would be consistent with the new canon from Rebels. Sorry friends, but KotoR is not happening, new canon has already rewritten it so that Sith'ari and Jedi come from the same planet and thousands of years before the prequels the technology was basically medieval tier except for very early lightsabers that looked like Kylo's.
It's true, Rebels changed a lot of stuff from Kotor. If we do get a kotor trilogy it won't the same at all.
Daniel Mitchell
Why? It sounds way more interesting then the soulless squeal trilogy.

Mission Vao is way too cool to be played by that loser bitch

In Rebels they visit multiple ancient temples and see flashbacks to these ancient times, user. It's true.

Camden Jackson
He did care about his son and did not run away, so that's a no-no

Basically the concept of technological stagnation was thrown out of the window, the past had much less advanced technology if any technology at all, hyperspace travel is only around thousand years old.
Jordan Thomas
>OT is ruined >prequel Obi-Wan is about to be ruined >now they'll ruin KOTOR
The only KotOR reference in Rebels is that they go to an ancient Sith Temple on Malachor V, and discover there is an ancient weapon there, that was once activated in the middle of a battle between Jedi and Sith.
So you know - kinda like part of the back story to KotOR

Pic related shows the drop in box office from the first weekend to the second for TLJ. It is the single largest dollar value drop in the history of cinema
We're now ~9 months out from the epic conclusion of the first Disney Star Wars trilogy and there does not exist a single person on planet earth who gives a fuck. They have masterfully alienated every single potential paying customer.
They changed malachor v, the mass shadow generator, and the mandalorian wars. 3 very important things in the kotor timeline, they've also changed how lightsaber crystals work.
Kannan says in the episode those 3 things are changed in that they're not allowed to go to malachor because of "legends" and Ahsoka says "there is always a bit of truth to legends" implying they'll chnage more. It's pure disrespect towards kotor and legends in general.
Christopher Parker
it's like pottery... it rhymes

The malachor v in rebels is completely different to the one in kotor, same thing with the sith temple/super weapon.

Basically it did not happen, the level of technological advancement in the galaxy isn't constant any more, in the past people travelled using traditional sub-lightspeed crafts, hyperspace was not discovered up until ~1000 years before the prequels and its discovery led to the creation of the Republic. Absolutely nothing from the previous lore carries over, except for probably some wink-wink easter eggs. Also thousand years ago Sith looked like literal samurais, ghosts of ancient jedis were wearing medieval armor.
They've hired GoT dudes to create GoT with lightsabers, they're making the Star Wars past a literal fantasy setting.

I'm okay with the reduced timeframe (aside from retconning the whole "thousand generations" thing) since the multiple millennia thing was awkward to explain away in terms of static tech and was mostly unexplored padding anyway. However, a compromise could still be reached with a galactic dark age that only ended about 1000 years ago with stuff beyond that left somewhat ambiguous. Maybe there was a yet older Republic that was replaced.
Brayden Lewis
Shame on them for giving it to these hacks instead of Villeneuve

D&D are complete hacks, who basically ran game of thrones into a wall with their idiotic writing. Which is why they'll probably make the anti-TLJ: an utterly ridiculous critical flop, which is celebrated by the fanboys.
Why have nuwars writers such a hardon for changing the old stuff? I'm not saying that all legends stuff should be saved, since most of it was shit, but there's genuine gems in there, so why shit all over that as well? A good story is a good story and producers should salivate at the prospect of having a story at their hands that has already proven to work for the fanbase.
Bad writers thinking they're actually improving on the old stuff.
Nathan Bailey
This looks interesting frankly.
Leo Lopez
From what i remember, it was limited how long the sabers could stay on, and the fighting style was focused on protecting the cable
Julian Jones
Kotor is around 4k, same as the Exar Kun stuff.
Blake Brooks
That's a fun concept, probably much better than whatever Disney is going to come up with.
Camden Brown
It sounds unintentionally hilarious, like fighting with handheld vacuum cleaners and trying desperately to unplug the other guy's
Xavier Ramirez
To those, criticizing "technological stagnation" between KotOR and the OT era, what exactly would satisfy you? Let's say the stuff from KotOR is the status quo of what goes there's hyperspace travel and construction materials that can endure a planet sized shell of buildings, what would you expect to have changed between then and the OT, apart from aesthetics? The galaxy is a fucking big place. How fast do you expect new tech to spread? Not to mention that the SW galaxy seems to be a pretty volatile place, with warring factions rising and falling into ruin again, inventing new stuff, but also burying shit with the fall of planets and civilizations, so true visible advancement would go at a glacial pace.
Jordan Sanchez
Honestly this new idea that the past of the Star Wars world was actually somewhat more primitive is better than technological stagnation.
Dylan Fisher
>They're literally saying in that scene that this happened before hyperspace travel was discovered.
I don't think Disney is going to make a Star Wars movie set before interstellar travel. It's right there in the name.
Angel Sanchez
Sounds like an easy retcon. It's such a stupidly limiting idea that there's no reason to keep it.
Aaron Bennett
I guess it depends on what they do with it. I'm not all that hot on the look of . Then again, maybe what sours my morning cereals is just the idea that if they go through with that, then it'll once and for all bury the possibility of KotOR getting reintroduced into canon. The old republic era games made the sheer magnitude of ongoing history in that universe palpable to me, so seeing it, and the characters attached to it, going down the drain kinda hurts, since I don't have much faith in them coming up with something better to replace it.

Colton Morris
Then we'd get the best of both worlds. If they stick to those numbers we do get the sense of technological change on some scale and they can still leave room to not write the old republic stuff out of existence. That being said, I'd think it would be kinda neat to not have every kind of technology get reverted to something more primitive, e.g. light saber tech using kyber crystals could be new and clunky, but that doesn't need to be the case for, say, space travel tech. Same as I wish the Solo movie hadn't been a compressed booklet of everything notable info tidbit about Han in one single movie adventure.
Thomas Perez
You faggots are like someone who meets their old school crush, see's she's a 300-pound druggie with four black kids and you still want to look after her.

I looked around for a timeline. This is from a guide that were published back in 2007
Nice. Thanks for digging those up. Will be interesting to see what kinds of creatives Benioff and Weiss are, whether they follow the "not invented here" school of thought and come up with something entirely different (killing arts of the legends history in the process), or whether they'll simply adapt something of the old material, that they deem usable. How's their track record anyway? Going by their success with GoT, I'd like to think they'd seek out existing material with an established fan base, as this approach was what put them on the map in the first place, but you never know.

the old timeline had some interesting ideas, like those republic crusades against the hutts, but this at least is somewhere the new canon can improve on the old. how could billions and billions of people live for 25,000 years with such limited technological change and indeed history
David Turner
it would be more rational to just use those swords like in KOTOR as a main weapon and have these battery-powered sabers as like a flintlock pistol during the 18th century.
Cool throwing away all the baggage of the original trilogy should give the writers a lot of freedom.
Dunno about the whole "medieval with lightsabers" bit though unless they really mean a scfi feudal Japan type deal where the Jedi are samurais for emperors.
I just hope they don't do a whole "the first Jedi" origins type deal and just make a fun action filled movie with cool sith Lord's and lightsaber battles.
