D. Kain Posted April 28, 2007 Posted April 28, 2007 Ok if we would add 15 years betwen kotor II and kotor III then you could start as a 20 years old Revan's and Bastila's or Revan's Carth's son/daughter. I know that some people didn't romance Carth or Bastila and some people even killed them but it's a good option! They could like ask from the start of the game did Revan and Bastila (Carth Revan) get along or not! We would get a young cool character! What do you think?

Guest Accept Posted April 28, 2007 Posted April 28, 2007 Why not? Because KotOR 1 already includes the, imo, most important and interesting things from the Jedi Civil War.
D. Kain Posted April 28, 2007 Posted April 28, 2007 Oh well .. But I don't remember that beeing discusst I think I wasn't a member yet.
Omelette Posted April 29, 2007 Posted April 29, 2007 Revstila... You forgot about Rarth, her identical twin brother. And then they get separated at birth, don't know they're related, make out, and then realize that they're brother and sister. And then they have to kill their evil father, who they don't know is their father, and take down the evil Empire, right? Yeah...let's not go toward those possibilities.
Guest The Architect Posted April 29, 2007 Posted April 29, 2007 (edited) Why not? Because prequels suck, at least in Star Wars anyhow. Stories are meant to go forwards, not backwards. Upwards, not downwards, and if KotOR III is not a follow up of TSL, I Edited April 29, 2007 by The Architect

SilentScope001 Posted April 30, 2007 Posted April 30, 2007 (edited) Not to mention that KotOR III set in the JCW would hardly be a CRPG, which is what KotOR III should be, since Revan decides the outcome of the galaxy in that timeline, unless you propose KotOR III be a “smaller scale” CRPG where you decide the fate of a planet or something, or you have KotOR III just be KotOR with additional features, less linearity plot/character wise and better graphics, which wouldn Edited April 30, 2007 by SilentScope001
Legend-X Posted April 30, 2007 Posted April 30, 2007 Better graphics... maybe a less glitchy battle system, more noodz. What are "noodz?" Better graphics... maybe a less glitchy battle system, more noodz. What are "noodz?" After a quick search on Urbandictionary i found the word, and it was... creepy. http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=noodz So what he wants is Knights of the Old Republic; The Porn Lords. Can't see Lucasarts going with that idea somehow...... OMG i was soooooo kidding about the noodz!!!!!
Legend-X Posted April 30, 2007 Posted April 30, 2007 About the game and the story. I think one of the biggest recurring themes in both KOTOR's is that whole... the jedi are there own undoing kinda thing. That the jedi are flawed in nature and in no way perfect in philosophy. I think KOTOR one touched on it, KOTOR II expounded, and that kKOTOR III whatever the actual plot should continue on that line. I thought that underlying theme had alot to do with what made the story great. It was almost like no matter what the plot as long as it was rooted in that flawed teachings deal it would still be pretty aight. I wouldn't mind maybe them touching on revan and the exile more.... maybe expounding on where revan went, what revan was doing.... what furthermore happened with the exile... maybe they could do one of these things... Play the game one way as revan and another as the exile??? kinda like resident evil 2 you played one way as leon and another as .....claire was it? The story is in core just the same but differences not too subtle to be useless... just enough to be interesting. I dont knot they could really go amillion ways with it. I have faith if they continue the seires ill like it.

Aristademis Posted May 1, 2007 Posted May 1, 2007 I'm sorry but Episode VI does not end with plot resolution the way it should've. If you take into account that Palpatine comes back the next day and all. If you choose not to show the Expanded Universe as part of that then yes, Episode VI did have plot resolution. But seeing as how that pattern does have some weight, I hope you're right. Yes, it does. The real story is the movie serial. The EU is crap written by horrible writers. It's too bad that Lucas cares more about money than his art. Even if you include the EU, the Palpatine ressurrection crapfest is a new story.
Dark Wastl Posted May 1, 2007 Posted May 1, 2007 Yes, it does. The real story is the movie serial. The EU is crap written by horrible writers. It's too bad that Lucas cares more about money than his art. Even if you include the EU, the Palpatine ressurrection crapfest is a new story. I really lvoe those "Lucas only cares about money" lines. Do you have any prove for that? As if Lucas had the time or interest in controlling everything that is going on in the Star Wars universe. He's a film-maker, there is a reason why every department has its own management. I have to agree with the ressurrection bit, Dark Empire is really horrendous and should never have made it into the public, it was a really horrible idea. Sadly, there is quite a bit of EU-work which is simply bad. Though there is some pretty good stuff as well, mostly from before they started to turn everything upside down. I really do like the KOTOR-comic, though, very well done.
Darth Mortis Posted May 1, 2007 Posted May 1, 2007 Yes, it does. The real story is the movie serial. The EU is crap written by horrible writers. It's too bad that Lucas cares more about money than his art. Even if you include the EU, the Palpatine ressurrection crapfest is a new story. I don't think that the whole EU stuff was done simply to line GL's own pockets, but so that he could get enough money to make the rest of the films. There is also the timing of the EU-for the most part it started after Jedi was made, and rather than just making money it was also about keeping interest in SW alive for future films/projects. I agree that a lot of the EU stuff is total crap, but then you can say exactly the same thing about any film or tv series that has spin offs etc. Guess in SW case its not helped when two of the films deal with Deathstars, how do you write a follow on to a story where the bad guys can destroy planets at will? Not easy, and owing to the way SW was set out from the start all the writers concentrated on large Galaxy shattering threats, rather on what would have made for better stories on a smaller scale. (Well, within reason. I can't see episode VII; Return of the Hangnail being a good story) There are some very good books in the SWEU, the Rogue Squadron series of books spring to mind as do the heir of the empire series. Unfortunatly like anything else there are also more than a few stinkers around, but compared to a lot of other Sci-fi shows/films there are fewer than you'd think.
Aristademis Posted May 1, 2007 Posted May 1, 2007 Let me be more specific. Lucas struck a deal with 20th Century Fox to own the rights to the merchandising. After the initial release of Star Wars in 1977, he made so much money off of merchandise that he didn't need 20th Century Fox or any other studio to complete his films, he still retained them for distribution only. In other words, from ESB on he had enough money from merchandising to bankroll any LucasFilm project he desired. He didn't need any more money from EU comics/novels/etc. As far as using EU to keep fan interest alive, you clearly weren't alive when Star Wars was released. That said, what I meant in my previous post was that he let other people taint his art (his story) with really bad sci-fi. I don't mind the EU that isn't related to the films. But to allow someone to make your art (his films) obsolete and pointless was due to greed over craft.
Darth Mortis Posted May 1, 2007 Posted May 1, 2007 As far as using EU to keep fan interest alive, you clearly weren't alive when Star Wars was released. You'd be wrong, I am to young to have seen Star Wars at the cinema but I used to watch it on TV at lot....and boy do I mean a lot lol. I didn't mean interest at the time the first three films were being made, but afterwards. While they did produce comics from the early 80's the EU didn't really start running at full speed until the books began to come out, which was around 1991 with the Heir to the Empire series. (I should have been clearer as to what I mean when I posted before). The release of the books was about increasing interest and in getting money for the future films-which I seem to recall were being seriously considered at this time. Let me be more specific. Lucas struck a deal with 20th Century Fox to own the rights to the merchandising. After the initial release of Star Wars in 1977, he made so much money off of merchandise that he didn't need 20th Century Fox or any other studio to complete his films, he still retained them for distribution only. In other words, from ESB on he had enough money from merchandising to bankroll any LucasFilm project he desired. He didn't need any more money from EU comics/novels/etc. Sort of true, but you missed the logical point that in the case of Starwars the money wasn't just about making the films, but also about developing the technology that went into them. A large amount of the special effects in the prequels were developed by Lucasarts and the companies GL set up when he made SW. Creating the technologies took money, and while some of that would have come from other projects (ie films they worked on) a lot of it had to come from other sourses-the EU and new merchandising would have helped a great deal. I can understand how it would look greedy, and LA is a business and set up to make money, but thats only part of the story. That said, what I meant in my previous post was that he let other people taint his art (his story) with really bad sci-fi. I don't mind the EU that isn't related to the films. But to allow someone to make your art (his films) obsolete and pointless was due to greed over craft. I'd have to agree with you there, although I'll add that I think that the greed came from LA rather than from GL. Some of the writers of the EU stuff should have been banned from writing a shopping list, let alone a book/comic
