Chat corner 46: KOTOR

[annathecrow]

Welcome to this week’s chat corner!

Optional prompt

The prompt for this week is the two-part computer game series “Knights of the Old Republic“. (Am I abusing my mod powers by choosing something I know? Possibly!)

Opinions on canonical storyline vs your playthrough? Favorite team member? Who has the best backstory? (I missed about 2/3 of the content and I’m so confused when I read fanfic!)

Mod note: Do we have any Legends afficionados here? I have ran out of Relevant Legends Things in my memory and have resorted to the very scientific method of opening Wookieepedia’s “Timeline of Legends media” and looking for things that I recognize. Which is… not a lot. XD I still have a few months’ worth of material, and I figure we can live with a slower week once in a while (it’s an optional prompt after all), but I’d love some tips if you have them. (Same goes for canon media as well, btw! Topic requests are good.)

I’m not super into KOTOR, though I watched cut scenes. The concept of exploring the old republic is neat. However I’m still attached to the main six films first and fore most. Tho I do know some friends who are very knowledgeable of the classic EU. They have their own opinions on Bantam era but they have favored NJO and The Han Solo Trilogy, besides Zahn and Stover’s works.

I finally got around to start reading Allegiance.

I think most SW fans ignore the KOTOR era, tbh, if they even know about it. KOTOR+SWTOR feels like its own fandom, in a way. Especially nowadays, when it's the only active Legends "property".
