A new report suggests that Lucasfilm is developing a Star Wars TV show set during the Knights of the Old Republic era, potentially marking a shift for the franchise.
Disney Star Wars TV is currently somewhat undefined, but it might take a bold new direction if a recent report is accurate. The report states that Lucasfilm is developing a show set during the Knights of the Old Republic era. This aligns with comments made by Kathleen Kennedy in 2019, where she hinted at something being in the works related to KOTOR , but concrete details have been scarce since then. Now, we seemingly have... a report of a TV show, at least.
The Mandalorian is close to concluding, marking the first Star Wars film since 2019's Rise of Skywalker. Andor will return for its second season this year, but it's a finite story. The Acolyte was canceled before securing a second season. Skeleton Crew continues and has received positive reviews, but viewership appears low, and it still has a $136 million budget. It's uncertain if it's performing sufficiently to be renewed. A Knights of the Old Republic show might bridge the gap between Disney's desire to move beyond the Skywalker era and the need for something more deeply rooted in Star Wars history and lore than the recently introduced High Republic, the setting of The Acolyte. When fans think of Knights of the Old Republic, they likely envision the video game series, KOTOR 1 and 2, and eventually, The Old Republic MMO. The KOTOR games are particularly cherished by gaming enthusiasts, but there's no indication that this show would be a direct adaptation; it simply takes place in that era. The time period offers ample possibilities, primarily showcasing the Sith in a dominant position rather than limited to a few individuals. But the scale for television remains unclear. Disney's budgeting for these series has been problematic, investing hundreds of millions of dollars into projects that often fail to attract sufficient viewership to justify the expense
