So as part of my inherent fanboy-dom, I was checking out the Old Republic's propaganda er ... website. They have this neat little time line sitting there filling you in on the back story.

"Great!" I said, watching each movie with glee and anticipation. And you can't imagine how giddy I was until I watched the bloody movie about Revan and Malak.

I should warn you, I am about to go on a fanboy rant, the likes of which I have not posted here ever before.

They were corrupted by the Sith Emperor?! What the hell? Now, it has been years since I've played KotOR 1 & 2 but if I recall, the entire plot behind KotOR was that:

1) Mandalorians get all uppity and start fights.
2) Republic gets pwned.
3) Revan shows up and kicks the Mandalorians out.
4) Revan returns as a conqueror preparing for the inevitable invasion from the Unknown Regions.
5) Actual game begins here!

And in KotOR2 he goes off to go deal with the threat from the Unknown Regions (The True Sith) and everyone and their cat is completely clueless as to what he's facing and trying to do.

So what the heck is Bioware doing!? Are they purposefully ignoring established cannon? Or did I and everyone at wookiepedia completely miss the point to the first game?

I'd like to know how Mr. Fancy Pants Jedi Historian figured this out since 1) He didn't go with Revan and Malak and 2) Anyone that would know is dead! Well, HK-47 is probably still out there. Or at least he better be.

Forum posts should be like a skirt. Long enough to cover the topic but short enough to keep your attention.
