Knights Of The Old Republic Remake - Everything We Know

9. KOTOR Is Back In Canon

The great thing about KOTOR is that it can come and go from canon as it pleases without anything really being affected one way or another. After all, that was the whole point of the game to begin with, as being made while the prequels were still being released, Bioware didn't want to potentially contradict current canon.

Fortunately, the sequel trilogy - which picks and chooses what from the original EU is and is not canon at its leisure - realized this, and took KOTOR out of 'Legends' and right back into mainstream Star Wars continuity. This comes in the form of an Easter egg found during the final battle of Rise of Skywalker, where Palpatine sends out various legions of new "Sith troopers".

While all of the legions are named after various Sith lords throughout the EU, one in particular is named after Darth Revan, the main character of the first KOTOR game. And if he's canon, it stands to reason that there's a chance for the rest of the KOTOR universe to join him - even if it gets revised heavily by this remake (more on that in a bit).

Thanks to this Easter egg, Knights of the Old Republic has been returned into the main continuity. At least the movie did something we can all agree is pretty much a net positive, because the Star Wars universe is a worse off place without Bastila. You know that I'm right.
