DarthMetalJoey Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 (edited) yeah here it is http://imgur.com/fOwys9K also there is a mobile game which is considered canon and its called starwars galaxy of heroes hk47 is in it making him canon!!! http://imgur.com/cVqSZx8 the fan choice poll where revan won over movie and rebels characters so we got a revan figure being made this is what it will look like http://www.outerplaces.com/images/user_upload/revan%20hasbro.JPG i hope it does mean this stuff is getting made into canon.... if in the new starwars trilogy if they end up on rakata prime all it would take is a statue of revan in the background xD Edited November 27, 2015 by DarthMetalJoey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaedusz Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 What the actual ****? Does this mean the kotors + swtor is closer to being canon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morschxxx Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 What the actual ****? Does this mean the kotors + swtor is closer to being canon? it is basically canonized now, everything that has to do with revan is canon now- tor inclusive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PadsterPwns Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 it is basically canonized now, everything that has to do with revan is canon now- tor inclusive Maybe not everything. Revan is now a canon character and Rakata Prime is now a canon planet but that doesn't mean the entire of TOR is canon. Revan may be a complete different character from the Revan we know and Rakata Prime may have nothing to do with him. Just saying, this is like saying because there is a canon Darth Bane there is a canon duel on Ambria. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TehVideoGamer Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 I doubt they would rewrite things about the Old Republic era so I'd have to agree that most, if not all, of TOR is now canon again. Write new stories about it? Sure. Everyone loved KOTOR 1 + 2 and they are wanting a 3rd. TOR still has momentum going and it's improved a lot since the beginning so surely the game will keep going strong for a few more years - longer than that hopefully. There is a possibility that they might rewrite some smaller things in some areas but I think they will leave the big picture completely intact. I see no reason why they should tear it all down and rewrite the well-known characters and planets, etc. back up again. They are perfectly fine how they are.

Ghisallo Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 it is basically canonized now, everything that has to do with revan is canon now- tor inclusive Really? A few things. First according to the new Canon rules, the last I checked, toys are not considered something that makes Canon. Second yes Rakata Prime is now on the map so the planet itself is Canon but we do not know in what context. They made it quite clear that their knew writers would be able to in essence raid the old stuff for ideas so we might see some EU stuff return. Example, I would not doubt they cash in on having Revan featured somehow BUT he could feature in a very different way. Example the new author could simply have him be a proto-Vader, a historical Jedi who went to the dark side BUT never came back to the light. The Rakata could simply be written in as one of the first Ancient Empires from tens of even hundreds of thousands of years ago, or even a modern race just discovered as their planet is in the "unknown regions." I know a lot of people, myself included, were upset to favorite bits of the EU being made "non-canon" by fiat but assuming these names are now Canon in anything resembling the forms we knew them in is, I think, premature.

If that's to hard for you to understand its you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PadsterPwns Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 too dense for me these star wars fans If you had any idea of how canon works you wouldn't have said that. Basically just because Revan may be canon does not mean TOR is canon, as using that logic I could then say that because of this Marka Ragnos is canon as it was his Sith Empire. Following this I could say that because Marka Ragnos is canon so is Jaden Kor, and because he is canon so is Kyle Katarn and then because he is canon so is the NJO and because that is canon so are the Vong. Seriously, if you follow the logic you were using everything in the Legends universe is now canon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthDymond Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 All it means is KOTOR I is canon. How so? Darth Bane is part of canon, that doesn't mean that Path of Destruction or Jedi vs Sith are canon. Dathomir is part of canon, that doesn't mean Courtship of Princess Leia is canon.

Does that mean he's canon now?" @pablohidlago: "@CurtWedin I wouldn't assume so. Galaxy of Heroes is very meta / sandbox / do what ya want kind of game. And more fun for it." @CurtWedin: "@pablohidalgo makes sense. Thanks for the quick response!" Edited November 28, 2015 by DarthDymond Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to say that cool but let's be honest... Disney doesn't care about the diehard fan as much as they care about the "casual" Sci-fi fans who have made the Avengers, LotR etc huge. They will make it so it is understandable to them so they will change stuff. Remember most everything is going to be fed, circling JJs world. Look at what he did to Star Trek....and how it pissed off the Star Trek version of you? Good luck with your wishful thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logic would be... Rakata Prime is the name of a planet... Stop right there. Why? Because as was noted Characters like Darth Bane and Darth Plagueis are Canon but Disney specifically stated the books that first mentioned them are NOT Canon. Plagueis, as an example, is only Canon because Sidious mentioned his name in the prequel movies. Without that mention he would no longer exist. What race he was, whether he was actually Sidious' master etc are things that are up in the air. To assume anything else is illogical. Logic requires facts you are using assumptions because for some twisted reason the stuff you like can't just be stuff you like it has to be Canon.

"The Rakata were created for the game Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. Before that, there were references to (unnamed) aliens who, according to Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game, gave the Hyperspace technology to Humans." rakata being a bioware invention, and rakata prime being on the new galaxy map making the planet and the stupid race canon. its quite obvious that they took it because they just simply freaking like it i dont see why the reasons for that would be twisted, its not like i am about to abuse children-- i simply say that the story is official now Edited November 29, 2015 by Morschxxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
