Jason Schreier Reassures Star Wars KOTOR Remake is Still Happening
- Thread starter Star-Lord
- Start date
What? This is the first I've heard of this. Normally I don't play remakes/remasters of games I already played the first time, but this may be an exception...
I think Disney is a stickler for canon now so I still doubt a 1:1 remake would happen, unless it's very barebones like the Aspyr stuff.
A "new" KotoR with lots of the same characters though is probably on the board. And to be honest I'd prefer that.

Hasn't stopped Aspyr from remastering a bunch of other Star Wars games. In fact Lucas Film games seems to be embracing their legacy titles a whole lot more lately as evidenced by all their re-releases with Limited Run.
Yeah I edited in a bit about Aspyr's stuff. I just think that'd be called a remaster or "KotoR HD" and not be mistakeable for a remake.
They could easily just ignore TOR if they wanted to do a straight remake or remaster.
IMO the way to go is to remaster the original 2 games for modern consoles so people have access to the experiences they already enjoy, that way when they announce their more ambitious remake people can just stick to the originals if they don't like the changes
They could totally do that, and honestly they probably should.
AFAIK, SWTOR is the only Star Wars property that is still in active development that is tied to Legends.
Oh hell yes, this has been rumored for ages, nice to see there is actually something behind the rumors except wishful thinking,
I've traded playing it so many times but it's so damn old i just can't mess with it. So a remake, reboot, whatever. I'm cool with either or i don't know the story or the spoilers
How much of KOTOR wouldn't fit in with the current canon? I know Dinsey cut everything not in a film or TV show, but given how far in the past it was set, what have they done recently that would conflict with what we got in KOTOR?
Disney released non-cannon Star Wars tv shows on Disney Plus earlier this month. Not to mention that I imagine that Aspyr needs Lucasfilm/Disney permissions to release the old games (Which are obviously not cannon)
They could just start using 'The Vintage Collection' for games too if they're part of Legends. It seems weird they'd make that whole thing for Disney+ if they were only ever going to use it for a small group of things.
As someone who ran into a game-breaking bug 10 hours in and never managed to get back into it over the years.,... this is actually pretty exciting
Everything as far as movies and games from Star Wars has been going forward with new story and content.
I think there will definitely be a KOTOR video game but it will be original and standalone compared to the story and ideas in the early to mid 2000s KOTOR titles.
My personal hunch is that it goes through some of the newly established high republic era !
I welcome something that loosely follows the assassins creed world and quest formula, idk.
2002 era clone wars, Caravan of Courage, Ewoks, Ewoks Battle for Endor, Faithful Wookie. Also the Lego shorts have been on for a while. Obviously, these are all old re-releases... but the Lego holiday special was a new original non cannon release last winter.
The Star Wars Vintage Collection Has Arrived on Disney+!
Fan favorites like Genndy Tartakovsky’s Clone Wars 2D Micro-Series and more are now streaming.

The original Clone Wars Cartoon, the Ewok movies, the Ewok cartoon, and the short from the Holiday Special that featured the first appearance of Boba Fett. The old Droids cartoon is also coming later in the year.
I think that's the idea. More of a GoldenEye N64 -> GoldenEye Wii situation.
Even if it doesn't conflict with "present day" stuff, it still comes down to what version of history they want to set in stone.
There's a difference between releasing old non-canon stuff and remaking The Ewok Adventure still as a non-canon tihng.
For a lightly updated re-release, sure, they're happy to do it.
But a remake would be a multi-million dollar project and I imagine they'd want to slot something that high profile into their future plans, especially when they already have a cross-media prequel on-going with The High Republic.
Yeah I'm surprised they haven't retroactively slapped it on Pod Racer, Jedi Knight, Republic Commando, etc.
Damn, I didn't know the old Clone Wars was up.The Star Wars Vintage Collection Has Arrived on Disney+!

This would likely be the latter to keep it canon and out of legends territory.
Definitely, I was just pointing out that Disney isn't EXCLUSIVLY working with canon material. The closest they've come to creating a new non-canon piece of media is the Lego holiday special. Which is a very special case lol.
