Kylo's sabre is a KOTOR artifact.

Is it? I don't remember that.

Are you thinking of the MMO? I never played that.

Visual Dictionary (canon) has Rakata Prime on a map and refers to "The Scourge of Malachor" thousands of years ago.

In the Clone Wars cartoon, there's two bounty hunters from Manaan. There's a few episodes set on Onderon. Taris is mentioned in a canon novel.

Awesome. Now we just need somebody to play Pazaak.

Oh, that I don't know. I just read that it was canonically established as such

It's said to be fashioned after the sabers from the time of the Great Scourge of Malachor thousands of years ago. I don't recall seeing it in the KOTOR games, though.

But yeah, we see what was to be expected: new creators adapting stuff they liked from the EU to fit into the new continuity.

Ok so possible Knights of the Old Republic inspired stuff in the movies that I thought of:

1. Kylo Ren's mask looks like Revan's.

2. The Star Map quest leading to the Soul Forge and the Star Map leading to Luke Skywalker. Plus I guess looking for the Jedi Master in hiding just like KOTOR II.

3. The Chrome Storm Trooper is kind of like the Chrome Sith troopers from KOTOR. Always such nice shiny targets.

4. The ultimate weapon drains power from a star just like the Star Forge.

That's all I got. Maybe something was inspired by KOTOR but nothing direct that gives one hope that the game is considered to be in the same universe.

I think this kind of stuff is how old games and novels will live on in "canon" Star Wars.  They won't be adopted wholesale, but in bits and pieces.

Just picked at random - apparently the Chiss race are considered "canon" by the nerds at Wookiepedia, even if Grand Admiral Thrawn is not.

Posts here are my own private opinions.  I do not speak for my employer.

Revan was very close to be included in the canon, but his appearance in the Clone Wars series as a force ghost was cut out.

Did I miss some inside joke as to why people keep typing "Rylo Ken"?
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

I think they went with Darth Bane instead.

i just figured he took the crystal from faders pyre along with his helmet and that's why it's all messed up.

So, the casting call for Ep VIII went out and there's something interesting...

http://www.moviecastingcall.org/2015/12/star-wars-episode-viii-casting-new-lead-and-supporting-roles.html

Look up the listed actors and characters, towards the end of the document.  :hmm:

Probably a mistake? No way they are bringing him back. Although it could be some vision/nightmare sequence of Kylo Ren.

A flashback wouldn't be out of the question.  I imagine Ford would still get several million dollars, however.  Seems like a waste of budget.
