Palpatine_dc Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 With KotOR's release 3 years ago, events and characters are starting to show up in other Expanded Universe media. I know of references in the Star Wars Tales comics, the Clone War Comics and novels, the Darth Bane novel, Empire @ war, Star Wars Galaxies and of course the new KotOR comics. A point of note is that in EU the game outcome is LS. Revan's gender is said to be canonically male, but mostly this is deliberatly kept vague. A couple of questions to start: 1)What is your favourite/least favourite appearance of a KotOR event, character, location, etc... in other Star Wars titles? 2)What other references would you like to see? 3)Is the appearance of video game characters in other media a good evolution? For me that's: 1)Fav: warning spoiler for Darth Bane: Path of destruction: Bane's tutilage by Darth Revan's holocron, which he finds on the Unknown World. Seeing how Darth Bane reforms the Sith into the Order that lasts until Darth Sidious and Darth Vader, Revan's legacy has an enormous inpact on SW history even millenia after his death. This makes Revan one of the most important Sith Lords in the whole timeline. Least fav: HK-47 in SW galaxies: to me it seems like nothing more than Galaxies trying to leech of KotOR's succes. 2) Depending on the storyline of KotOR 3 if and when it is released, I'd like to see more of Jolee, Bastila, the Exile and Candelore. 3) I think it is. Playing a game is more fun if you know the things you do in it, have a larger inpact on the Universe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prime Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 1)What is your favourite/least favourite appearance of a KotOR event, character, location, etc... in other Star Wars titles?I'm with you with hating the HK in Galaxies thing. As for favorites, the games have pretty much spawned the new KOTOR comic series, which I am really enjoying. 2)What other references would you like to see?Hmmm. Not sure. I'd like to see some novels set in the time period. 3)Is the appearance of video game characters in other media a good evolution?To some extent I suppose. I don't think games need to radically alter future stories, but it is nice that they have some influence on them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HerbieZ Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 1) Best: Master Vandar in the Kotor comics Worst: Manaan in Empire at War, i was underwhelmed to say the least. 2) Novels, i agree. Id like to see more novels of the Kotor era. 3)Yes, it expands on the character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palpatine_dc Posted October 23, 2006 Author Share Posted October 23, 2006 As for favorites, the games have pretty much spawned the new KOTOR comic series, which I am really enjoying. Best: Master Vandar in the Kotor comics Sadly, I haven't seen those Comics yet, only read about them. Here in Belgium I only get to see the collected issues, seperate isssues are rarely imported. (at least in the Comic stores I go to). I'll probably pick them up when Commencement is released here. As for the novels in the same time period: It will probably depend on the sales of DB:PoD. Still, I wonder what characters would be used. Main Characters like Revan or the Exile or Minor background characters like happend in Shadows and Light. Personally I'd like to see a DS Female Exile, as a counterpoint to the male LS Revan. But such story arcs could of course collide with a KotOR 3, so I wouldn't expect anything with major players within direct timeframe of the games.

Ztalker Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 Favourite: The appearance of Darth Nihilus in a Sith holocron, Millenia later. Even in 130 ABY, they know how Ztalker bested that mumbling freak in Kotor 2 What I'd like to see: Some references to Revan, The Exile...the characters of Kotor. For example, the Candarous battle Tank in Empire at War. Me likes ...good evolution: Definately. It makes everything look more real, woven into eachother. Although HK-47 in SW Galaxies is an exception... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diego Varen Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 1)What is your favourite/least favourite appearance of a KotOR event, character, location, etc... in other Star Wars titles? Favourite: Characters from KOTOR in Comics, though I haven't read them. Least Favourite: Selkath. Another species for me to loathe. 2)What other references would you like to see? Some references to Canderous' adventures taking over Planets, before the Mandalorian Wars and the travels of the Exile after his/her exile. 3)Is the appearance of video game characters in other media a good evolution? Yes. Although after hearing about HK in Galaxies wasn't that good... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
