The only solid detail I can give you now is that within the 18 books, 9 will form a series (I should note that Sue originally used the word trilogy, not series, but soon corrected herself - Mike) set in the Old Republic era, somewhere between 1,000 and 4,000 years before SW: ANH. There will be one hardcover and 2 mass market paperbacks per year in the series (I'll give you the dates in a later post), and we're hoping to get three authors to write the entire series.

I hope they don't ruin the characters we know from KOTOR.

Oops. Aha, uh, Mods could you move this? I'm sorry; my bad.

Maybe they'll attempt to fix the more blatent continuity fuck ups from the game.

Hmm. Indeed.

I'm intrigued by where this could go, but at the same time I'm wary of any more prequels set in the SW universe.

Such as?

Making a bold statement like that should have just the slightest backing of proof.

I apologise that you'll have to wait until Utsanomiko comes on later, because out of the two of us, only he has played the game. And while he has told me about them, I can't remember what they are.

But from what both of us (him better) know, the upcoming sequel is worse in such regards.

What I heard about KOTOR 2 suggests that the game will tie up to the DARK SIDE ending of KOTOR.

Kotor2:The Sith Lords

YEAH !

I heard this spoiler before. It could work with th DS and the LS ending.

Buit I heard also that they think about including the option to tell the game what you did in Kotor.

Actually the biggest piece of proof I'll believe which side they use is what happened to Carth.

I thought that was confirmed. The beginning of the game has you talk to a character and based on the answers, the game changes to incorporate what you said happened in the first game.
