Since SWTOR ain't canon anymore I guess Bioware basically said screw it and are now going with their own story. They don't need to follow the lore at all now, but it would be nice if they included book lore for mentioned planets like they did for Corellia.
As for personal stories, I'm hoping my smuggler kicks *** when she gets unfrozen.
As for my Knight, I just hope there is enough Jedi around to keep him from falling to the dark side.
