Does KotOR Count?

[The Doctor]

I've asked around, and apparent;y, some people don't think that the KotOR games count as part of the EU. Does it count in your opinion? It certainly does in mine, but I want to know what you think.

[Darth Phantom]

Of course it is...are all the characters, planets, creatures, etc. in the movie?

[Alkonium]

Yes, it does, for it does have some pretty big events in it.

[Emperor Devon]

I think it does. It has a better plot than the movies, so why not?

[Commander Obi-Wan]

Of course it is...are all the characters, planets, creatures, etc. in the movie?

Commander Obi-Wan and han sala, in the future, do not spam a thread with a smilie. For more info on spam, visit this.

 

As for Kotor. It is outisde of the movies, so it is EU. Expanded Universe.

[Commander Obi-Wan]

FYI, I wasn't spamming. I was agreeing with Darth Phantom.

[swphreak]

FYI, I wasn't spamming. I was agreeing with Darth Phantom.

 

Then you could have done so in a less spammy nature. This is not the place to discuss this. The thread is about Kotor and the EU.

[SirLancelot]

It counts as EU, because the characters Darth Revan, Darth Malak, Bastila Shan, and others can be found under the EU heading on StarWars.com

[The Doctor]

As for Kotor. It is outisde of the movies, so it is EU. Expanded Universe.

I realize that, but some people I talked to said that the EU only included post RotJ stuff. I can give you their full names and adresses if you want to hurt them.

..... but some people I talked to said that the EU only included post RotJ stuff. ....

 

hehe....the good ole "some people I talked to" theyre also usually the people who tell you that George is making Episodes 7-9

 

KOTOR is EU, and although it is a game, has some signficant crossover with the events depicted in the KOTOR era comics For more consideration of what canonical classification games get, see the stickied "What is canon?" thread

I guess Pre-Ep1 and everything between all 6 movies isn't EU as well? You should smack these people and tell them you're ashamed for them.

[PoiuyWired]

Actually kotor DOES COUNT. Thought the canon story is being establish.

 

Kotor1 canon is basically a LSM story.

 

As for kotor2 nothing is set yet, though someone mentioning people trying to make it LSF... This would be bad, cause that means we will have to see more of that low-life piece of useless whiney scum face excuse of a hutt spawned bantha poodoo called Desciple. I mean, Handmaiden is many times better storywise and what not.

[MachineCult]

Of course it is...are all the characters, planets, creatures, etc. in the movie?

 

I love it when n00bs ask unanswerable questions.

 

KOTOR is EU, as other games are, I'd consider KOTOR to be quite an important bit of EU, like the Jedi Knight series.

[Prime]

KOTOR is a part of the official continuity, yes.

[El Sitherino]

If NJO counts, KoTOR counts.

[Darth_Terros]

If NJO counts, KoTOR counts.

 

I'd be happy to sacrifice KOTOR if it ment they got rid of the NJO infact i'd be even happier if they just restarted the EU after ROTJ so it fits more in with what we know of all the movies etc.

[Char Ell]

I'd be happy to sacrifice KOTOR if it ment they got rid of the NJO

I'm quite sure you speak for yourself, DT.

 

I'm certainly not willing to sacrifice KotOR to get rid of the NJO. Most definitely not. And like all the mods and other knowledgeable peeps have stated, KotOR is part of the EU and should be in perpetuity.

[Alkonium]

I say Kotor counts, the NJO counts, and that is the will of the Force.

[RobQel-Droma]

Well, EU = Expanded Universe, and KotOR certaintely is Expanded Universe Star Wars, so it is EU.

 

I'd be happy to sacrifice KOTOR if it ment they got rid of the NJO

 

*Gasps* *Shudders* Speak for yourself.

[Astrotoy7]

KOTOR is EU - I think that has been well established now !! As I have said above, if you want to be pedantic it occupies C level EU, according to Lucasfilm Licensing/starwars.com current classification system... this is the lower tier of EU(in terms of its direct relation and relevance to the films)

[Prime]

and that is the will of the Force.

And what is that anyway?

[swphreak]

Kotor is EU. EU is anything outside of the movies. The End.

 

If I read one more "NJO sucks" I swear to god I will declare martial law here. You don't like it, wow, I don't care. Keep it to yourself. I like it, but I'm not running around and shoving it in your face.

 

P.S. Kurgan doesn't exist. He's a figment of our imagination.

[Kurgan]

Yup, KOTOR is part of the EU like all the other liscensed Star Wars games. It's C-Level canon at least in terms of characters, story and technology (not player choices) just like everything else. So it's as "canon" as Jedi Academy or Dark Forces.

 

And just in case you were misinformed: You can ignore any crap you heard on "supershadow.com" since that site is made-up baloney with no official standing whatsoever!

 

 

PS: NJO sucks!
