Star Wars: The Old Republic Interview

VG247 has put up the first part of an interview with "writing director" Daniel Erickson on BioWare's upcoming MMO, Star Wars: The Old Republic.
The Old Republic takes place about 300 years after KOTOR. Will the game explain what happened to Revan after KOTOR 1 concluded? And what about KOTOR 2, which you didn't actually develop? Is that game even a part of the canon for you guys?

Absolutely. We get the KOTOR 2 question a lot. The thing with KOTOR 2 is that it was a very Jedi-specific plot. The Jedi were very much ravaged by it, and we talk about that in the timeline trying to rebuild the Jedi. But it was not as large a galactic piece. So there are a lot of factions and things that aren't actually affected by it. Also, we'd always worked in the fact that Revan and Malik were, in fact, involved with the Sith emperor himself, and it's really why we touch back on KOTOR a lot.

There are going to be a great deal of questions answered from KOTOR 1 and KOTOR 2 in our game.
