As I’ve mentioned before, I’m a big fan of the pre Disney Star Wars Expanded Universe books and comics. I find it interesting they wanted nothing to do with the EU and thought it was smart to alienate myself and all the other fans who faithfully bought the books and spent time in forums, but they seem to keep mining it for content and even more interesting they don’t want to turn their crappy High Republic into a tv series.
Of course we could play a drinking game for when we hear “updated for modern audiences”, “i never played KOTOR”, or showcase the diverse cast
There’s also the comic book series, which takes place a few years before KOTOR1, was actually (very) good, and has strong female characters in it already (Jarael and Chantique, mostly), plus it already has Mandalorians in it…
They should adapt that, and leave the game alone. They probably won’t, but they should.
Or the Exar Kun/Uliq Kel’Droma saga, which was slightly earlier, but they definitely won’t do that, because they already cannibalized some of it for Kylo Ren’s plot line (yes, really)…
Give the graphic novels and books a go, if you haven’t yet, folks. Many of them, especially from that era (and produced by Dark Horse!) are awesome.
