Hopefully something original rather than fucking Revan again.
But i suppose i don't need to fear really, the Old Republic covers so, so much time.

I'm surprised that she didn't just say that that's something they're talking about which really doesn't mean anything but that they're actively developing something in that time period. It obviously doesn't mean that they movie will happen but it's way more than I would've thought she'd be willing to share.
Can't people just be thankful we're getting a company that's treating Star Wars so well, my god.
YES. Kathleen knows we're hungry for some KOTOR goodness. Interesting that she said yes specifically to a "Knights of The Old Republic" thing and not just an "Old Republic" thing.
Yep, don't get me wrong I love KOTOR and the characters but I'd just like to see something completely new set in that era.
KOTOR is not canon so they're free to reinterpret everything in this film, it could be very new and original for all we know despite the KOTOR name.
It's like they have to lie to themselves that Disney Star Wars is different Disney than Disney marvel
What bothers me the lack of conviction as some ( a very small amount) call for a boycott of episode 9 but they won't boycot anything else related to Disney
Heck those same people will probably be there day one of episode 9
The Empire had detailed, extensive maps of the galaxy. When it fell, it destroyed many documents that would have been useful to the new Republic including maps. Shortly after this time, Luke started exploring the galaxy, attempting to find as many ancient Jedi artifacts and locations as possible. He may or may not have discovered Ahch-To during this period. At some point, he settled down and started a school to train a new generation of Jedi. Then he had the incident with Ben and went into self-imposed exile, but not before word that he was going to the "first Jedi temple" managed to get out to at least his close friends. The problem is, nobody knew where "the first Jedi temple" was, and no maps had it marked on them (they could tell you the location of 157,000 different Jack-In-The-Boxes, but no First Jedi Temple). So began the race to find where this temple was. Lor San Tekka found out, though how is unclear. He is known to have been a traveler and historian, even helping Luke search for Jedi lore and the Republic map out the galaxy. He turned this information over to Poe Dameron, who put it in BB-8, who brought it to the Resistance. But they had no context for it. R2-D2, who had downloaded a substantial amount of map data from the first Death Star while interfacing with it in Episode IV, was able to provide a map of the vicinity which allowed the Resistance to send an envoy to speak with him.
That's what I'm hoping for anyway, I know KOTOR isn't canon but they almost put Revan in TCW so I wouldn't put it past them to try and appease fans by reusing some material from the games.
Less emphasis on technology and more emphasis on mysticism would be nice as well.

I hope Rian gets rid of "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...." just to trigger the haters
Even if we're going into the future beyond the Skywalker saga, I really hope every single SW project sticks with the "a long time ago" setting, even if it's not literally shown on screen.
That said.. holy fuck did we really just get a stealth KOTOR bomb that everybody missed?

Right, forgot that part.
I don't have issue with Revan per se, but rather every fucking thing revolving around him. Her. It. Whatever. Was much better when Revan had no canonized gender, let alone species. I do love the KOTOR comic series, and especially the way they handled Revan (always cloaked and masked, just a background character).
Figure Darth Revan works well as a past Sith lord. But don't say more than that. Maybe Revan was influential among the Sith, and thus quoted or emulated, but it is better when Revan's mostly a mystery. Besides that'd make for a good mythology gag, allow KOTOR games exists in fans minds.
As for other elements of the games, yeah, there's good stuff. Ship designs, droids, locations, aliens, stuff worth using. Just drop the "everything's more or less the same as 4000 years later. Obviously the SW galaxy has been an advanced place for a long time, if the Jedi really have been around for 25k years, but i'd hope they make things so that one can tell various eras apart somehow, when it comes to aesthetics.
That seems likely.
I wonder if the boy at the end of TLJ might figure into Rian's trilogy? Or is he just a case of showing what "hope" is?
He's just more of a metaphor, yeah. Rian didn't even give him a name, Pablo did.
Also, they've confirmed that no characters or locations from the Skywalker saga will return. It wouldn't surprise me if Rian's takes place hundreds of years post ROS.
Fucking hell. Cheebo's OT thread for KOTOR news seems like a mess already. Why the fuck did i poke my head in there.
Yup, and his name is literally just a Star Wars-y version of the actor's actual name. They gave him a name so he has one but it's pretty clear he's not meant to reappear in the series in a significant role.
They should create a separate thread in hangouts for the haters.
Will clean up the shitposts in the OT.
/wishful thinking

Recent talk of a 10 year roadmap has increased my hopes of Rian and DD working on one cohesive series set in the same timeframe instead of having two alternating series. Just bring everything together, movies, tv, books, comics, games into one huge saga.
It's what I would do anyways.

I know JJ's episode 9 would be super fan service, you know that, we all know that but I'm a bit worried about Palpatine's return. I think JJ needs to walk a pretty tight rope here because Palpatine could do what Luke could've done if he stayed alive and that's to overtake our new characters. There's a huge possibility, based on how JJ utilities him, where he overtakes the role as the big bad and Kylo is pushed aside and given a redemption arc, which I'm almost positive will happen.
In JJ I trust but in this expect I can't help but be somewhat worried. It might be a bit too fan servicey to the detriment of our new cast.
Or not and he'll be use in a way that completely surprises me and is extremely clever, which I hope.

Listened to the first 4 chapters on audiobook while on a hike tonight. It is really good. Also I had no idea the production values for Star Wars audiobooks are so damn high! They've got music, sound effects, convincing impressions of the characters... It's pretty nuts.
Yea the audiobooks are great. I did the Battlefront 2 one and it was read by Janina Gavankar (Idens actress)
Pretty sure there were four prequel trilogy threads alone on page 1 today
Judging by their comments and other evidence that they've thought about Palpatine's return for a long time now, I think they must have nailed it or they think they did, at least.
And I suspect this might have been one of the main problems with Colin Trevorrow's scripts for TROS. I can't remember where exactly, but amongst the dozens of articles that I've read since Friday about TROS, one of them went into a bit more detail about the problems between Kennedy and Trevorrow, and how Rian and JJ were asked to come back after the Episode IX script simply wasn't working. Trevorrow went through almost five scripts and Lucasfilm rejected all of them.
Couple that with the fact that KK has confirmed more than once that they've been trying to figure out for years how to bring back Palpatine the "right way", then we can guess that was one of the main sticking points.
Anyone notice The Mandalorian different armor,
Its not just damage, the silver suit pieces match compared to the brown
I wonder which is the before and which after.

They're all different, I'd assume it's just an earlier design. But who know?
The other 2 are art, Mandalorian is a reference photo.
In the original image you can see the missmatched pieces particularly the shoulder pads.
I wonder if he upgrades throughout the series or those pieces get destroyed and he replaces them with other parts.
Based on the scene, im thinking upgrades.
