STAR WARS: Lucasfilm Is Reportedly Still Developing A Live-Action KNIGHTS OF THE OLD REPUBLIC Project

It's been a while since we had any updates on Lucasfilm's plans for some kind of Knights of the Old Republic adaptation, but a new rumor is claiming that a project is still in development...

Back in 2019, Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy confirmed that they are "developing something to look at" based on the classic Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic video games. Updates have been few and far between since, but we may finally have a little more to go on.

According to insider @MyTimeToShineHello, the recent rumor that a trilogy of movies is in development was bogus, but she claims that a KOTOR project of some description was in the works before the strikes got underway, and will return to "active development" once things are resolved.

We're not sure if it'll be a movie or Disney+ TV series, but last we heard, Laeta Kalogridis (Avatar, Shutter Island) was working on a script. This was a few years ago, so even if this report is on the level, Lucasfilm may have enlisted a new creative team.

Set almost 4000 years before the formation of the Galactic Empire, Knights of the Old Republic started out as a LucasArts game released in 2003, but there's since been a plethora of spin-off novels and comic books.

The story focused on the era following the conclusion of the Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi comics, during the early years of the Galactic Republic. In the game, the Mandalorians invaded the Republic in a pan-galactic conflict known as the Mandalorian Wars. The Jedi were hesitant to get involved, but a pair of renegade Jedi Knights, Revan and Malak, stepped up to lead a Republic force to war.

We don't know if Lucasfilm is planning a direct adaptation, but fans have been clamouring for a movies/series based on KOTOR for many years, so they'd be wise not to stray too far from the original premise.

Please don't. Sell Star Wars first, then do it. Wait maybe not, not in this era if film making.

I wish they would give somebody else a chance instead of giving people like Kathleen Kennedy and Avi Arad and Vladimir Putin all the time in the world.

Please don't Kathleen. I really like the old republic. Just let something from this franchise remain awesome.

Under normal circumstances, I'd be excited. Unfortunately in the day and age of Hollyweird, I don't trust them to remain faithful to KOTOR, especially as long as Kathleen Kennedy is in charge.

For a property they promoted so heavily to “kill the past” they are really relying on past events for shows…

Yes, lets see how Kennedy and her terrible Lucasfilm Story Group can ruin yet another beloved Star Wars property by injecting their Woke secular religion into it.

Obi Wan and Ahsoka should have been given movies instead of Han Solo.

I wonder if this was written by Weiss and Benioff. I wonder if this is the same script or outline.
