Its a great idea but it would leave a large fan base stranded, or they would come up with an alternative option to choose, which wouldnt make sense to make two different things for the same game on different platforms.
NCAA Football lets you save those players who declare themselves eligible for the NFL Draft and then load them up on Madden Football (has to be games from the same year, of course, NCAA 06 to Madden 06). It might not be quite the same thing as getting info from past Kotors, but when you consider you're dealing with stats for about over 200 players, I can't imagine that Kotor is loading all that much more info (probably a lot less, actually).

The only real problem might stem from the fact that console gamers would have their Kotor I and II games on the XBox, but Kotor III will probably be a 360 game. I guess that means they'd have to play through the games on the new system if they wanted the option of using their old info. Of course, the game could just ask, "Would you like to load saved data from previous games?" and if you say 'no' it could either ask you to give it the needed info or let it select random feats, powers, etc. (maybe still having you put in gender, class, and even head type). It would be clunky, but not too bad.

I doubt they'll have that feature, since there are some obvious problems with it, but it would be doable.
