Why does everyone seem to want a new KOTOR when force unleashed would likely garner more excitement and sales potential?

SIR.
I'm always down for more Sam witwer but he's better served elsewhere... put him in Respawn's Jedi series once they eventually move on from Cal Keaton
You should take your own advice on this one, your taste is definitely not representative of the market.
Plus Lucas wants nothing to do with Force Unleashed. Like, nothing.
I would honestly rather Darth Maul and the Shadow Collective be the villains of Jedi Fallen Order 2. I don't think there's much for him to do in game during that time period. He's the leader of a large crime syndicate. He has people do his dirty work lol.
Rework it into a Mando game and I'd be in.
Personally, I enjoyed KotOR I and II more than I enjoyed Force Unleashed. So I definitely would rather have another KotOR.
I ain't trying to play a lame GOW clone with a gary stu protagonist
I want that authentic saber combat:
Also this.Why would Sam Witwer go back to being that trash ass boring character WHEN HE'S FUCKING DARTH MAUL.

I feel like KotOR was a lightning in the bottle thing. I'd love a remake, but I don't see them topping the original.
Why the fuck would I care about "sales potential"? I like KOTOR and I want more of it. Finally a good Star Wars story and you want to replace it with a force awakens?
This feels like it's right, lol.
I mean, I played Force Unleashed and enjoyed it enough to finish it, but I've never wanted to really play it again.
I've played through KoTor a few times and thinking I could use another playthrough soon because I wanna play it before playing 2.
Discounting a subjective difference in quality, character action games are a dime a dozen. In fact we just got one set in the Star Wars universe like a couple of years ago.
They don't make many games like Kotor anymore.
All of this should be pretty obvious, I don't understand the confusion.

Because I don't care about "sales potential" or whatever, I want to play a good game and I didn't think Force Unleashed was very good. The first game was an aggressively mediocre action game bolstered by the property. The second game was worse. I don't need another (I get the appeal and the potential though, so I don't begrudge those who do want it).
KotOR is a game I still enjoy today and I would love to see another entry or a remake with improved visuals and mechanics.

"Why does everyone want a new entry to an incredible franchise, when a sequel to a mediocre one would garner more excitement."
KOTOR is one of the best WRPGs of all time, and KOTOR 2 only isn't quite there too because Obsidian were rushed and the story kinda falls off a cliff past a certain point as a result.
I don't give a shit about "sales potential", though in light of how well some WRPGs have sold the past decade I'm confused why you think a STAR WARS RPG wouldn't sell well.
Force Unleashed already has a successor, and it's a better game to boot.

Tfu is an average action game with star wars slapped on.
Kotor transcends star wars and is arguably better than any other piece of star wars media. By setting it so far in the past the writers were able to make a story not saddled by Disney or Lucas arts or whoever owns the IP at the time.
KOTOR could have no star wars ties at all and still be an amazing game.

Personally I want a new Rogue Squadron, or a HD remaster collection. It'd be extra nice since I feel like the space combat is underutilised in modern Star Wars films. Although I haven't checked out any of the expanded media outside of the films yet (I.e. Mando, Clone Wars).
You really can't understand how sales potential has nothing to do with why people are excited for a game??
Me neither. If real, it just reads as a giant "I don't like (thing), why do so many?" thread.
Regardless of your opinion on the gameplay of KOTOR (I think it's better than FU), having a new single player Star Wars RPG would be a vastly more exciting prospect.
Force Unleashed was pure trash from both a story and gameplay stand point. Going from Dark Forces/Jedi Knight/Mysteries of the Sith/Jedi Outcast/Jedi Academy into that tired, edge lord, sub-Tumblr-level fan-fiction dreck was gross.
"omg what if this guy is like so strong he can pull down Star Destroyers and beat up Luke Skywalker?"
OP you must have been 8 years old when that game came out to possibly think it had any redeeming qualities. Then again my brother was that age and barely a Star Wars fan and knew it was pure crap. And then comparing it to KOTOR? You're either more (tone)deaf than Helen Keller or a high-tier troll.
EDIT: btw the thread would have been way easier if you hadn't compared that game to one of the most well regarded Western RPGs in gaming. Then you could have just said, "haha, remember that game Force Unleashed, it was cool right?" then people who ironically like bad games in the same way movie fans ironically enjoy Manos the Hands of Fate could have jumped in here and high-fived you.

I couldn't give a shit about sales potential or excitement for other people. I care about my own. KOTOR is in my top game series ever so I'd like more of it. I'm desperate for more of it, frankly.
It's gonna be called KotoR, but I fully expect it to play like an open world Force Unleashed.
There is no way to fuck they make it a hardcore rpg again. This is going to be full on action probably an Assassins Creed/Horizon clone and snazzy combat with your NOC team of AI flip flopping around beinf useless.
I honestly have no faith that this won't be shit.

A lot of us grew up with the prequels and we still acknowledge that they are garbage movies
I want that authentic saber combat:
Tbh, what's authentic about that? They should have been cut in half with a single swing.
I don't know if that was really true; Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy just came out around then. But it was definitely the first game that convinced people that maybe RPGs can work with Star Wars
