Rumors Suggest ‘Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic’ Could Be Adapted into a Disney+ Series

‘Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic’ (KOTOR) is a critically acclaimed role-playing video game developed by BioWare and published by LucasArts in 2003. Set approximately 4,000 years before the rise of the Galactic Empire, the game delves into the early years of the ancient Galactic Republic, following the events of the “Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi” comics.

The game’s narrative centers on the Mandalorian Wars, a galaxy-spanning conflict instigated by the invasion of the Republic by the Mandalorian warrior society. Despite Jedi hesitation, two rogue Jedi Knights, Revan and Malak, lead a Republic force against the Mandalorians. Following their victory, Revan and Malak disappear, only to reappear with a Sith armada, launching an invasion against the Republic. Malak, now a Dark Lord of the Sith, escalates hostilities, leading to Jedi casualties and internal division within their ranks.

The game garnered widespread acclaim and earned numerous accolades, including Game Developers Choice Awards’ 2004 Game of the Year and BAFTA Games Awards’ Best Xbox Game of the Year. GameSpot also honored it as the Best Xbox Game of July 2003 and Best Computer Game of November 2003.

Given its stellar reputation, it’s no surprise that recent rumors suggest a potential screen adaptation. According to the reputable leaker MyTimeToShineHello, ‘Knights of the Old Republic’ may be in line for a Disney+ series adaptation.

This isn’t the first time rumors have surfaced about the game being adapted, so it’s wise to approach it with caution. The “announcement” elicited mixed reactions. Some fans fear it might receive a “woke” treatment like “The Force is Female,” while others are simply excited about the possibility of seeing Revan on screen.
