I'm huge fan of NJO but I think that we should keep Vongs aways from this Era.

Plus, it's been already said that the next trilogy will not be anything like the books, thus pushing the Vong story line further out to the fringe of the Star Wars mythos.
You are wrong. A majority of Star Wars fans that are still interested in Star Wars are interested in EU. Movies... well, movies are movies, it's base for Star Wars, but the only thing that is keeping this universe alive is EU. And please remember, that SWTOR is a part of EU based on Expanded Universe works (not only KotOR, but also old comic books, especialy Golden Age of the Sith and The Fall of the Sith Empire, they also took almost everything from EU - planets, races, culture, history, references).

I'm not a fan of the Vong but a flashpoint or raid with them could be fun. However I'd much prefer something more traditional SW-like. Exploring the mines of Kessel in sort of a multi-winged raid, or battling inside the republic/imperial flagship.
Kote! Kandosii sa kar'ta, Vode an.
Mandalore a'den mhi, Vode an. Bal kote, darasuum kote,
Jorso'ran kando a tome. Sa kyr'am nau tracyn kad, Vode an.

ok i did a little work on what is cannon and not:

""In July 2001, Lucas gave his opinion on the matter of what is canon in Star Wars during an interview with Cinescape magazine:

"There are two worlds here," explained Lucas. "There's my world, which is the movies, and there's this other world that has been created, which I say is the parallel universe—the licensing world of the books, games and comic books. They don't intrude on my world, which is a select period of time, [but] they do intrude in between the movies. I don't get too involved in the parallel universe." ""
AND

LUCAS: "I've left pretty explicit instructions for there not to be any more features. There will definitely be no Episodes VII-IX. That's because there isn't any story. I mean, I never thought of anything. And now there have been novels about the events after Episode VI, which isn't at all what I would have done with it. The Star Wars story is really the tragedy of Darth Vader. That is the story. Once Vader dies, he doesn't come back to life, the Emperor doesn't get cloned and Luke doesn't get married...

so he only has the movies and prequels he doesnt care about the games or the books. in the C-Cannon the books and games will correlate, so that means if you've read the books where Canderous became the new Mandalore from the Revan Book that means that his Madnos did fight the Coral Skipper and not knowing it could have an spot in the Old Republic history, So we COULD have a Vong event just not called the Vong, They could be called the ExoGalactic invaders for all I care.

Also the new movies are a direct violation to what lucas wants

Snip.

You're right Lucas did say all those things, and they have been true all these years.

However the moment he decided to sell it all to Disney, and signed on the dotted line, those old interview words essentially became null and void, as shown by the coming episode VII, and the press conference where he has placed the future of his creation into Disney's hands, and I imagine Disney has their own plans for the future of the Star wars universe.

As you've heard in the first KOTOR game, Canderous Ordo encountered a Yuuzhan Vong Yorik-et ship:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4sxWJISt_8

So a possible appearance by the Vong in SWTOR I wouldn't rule out. Of course not a huge invasion but maybe a small group of them in some form or one of their creatures. Also it's possible for Zonama Sekot to make an appearance and if the oppertunity was there to make it explorable, I wouldn't say no. It's possible maybe the beast in Terror from Beyond is a Vong creature but that's only speculation.
If you'd like to see more Explorable Worlds in Star Wars: The Old Republic,
then head to this thread and discuss, list and vote which you'd like to see and explore in the game:

I would, cause even IF it made a cameo, it wouldn't be explorable by us as it doesn't get settled on until 89 BBY and it is unlikely that that creature is related to the Vong. Could it be a Creature from the same Galaxy that the Vong came from, sure but that would probably be the only similarity it had to the Vong.

o good lord that dumb dumb could never make up his damn mind!!! back before there was episodes I II and III he said there were 9 stories and we only got the middle so he is just a big fat lire, he also once said that he read every book and had to ok everything that went on within them to be sure they went along with his view/story.

i for one am glad that he sold it all away, all he has done to this franchise in the past 10 years is run it into the ground. The only good things that has come out of all of it are the novels.

Colonization doesn't also mean discovery. There's also the possibility that it could've maybe been settled or had a small base during this era and eventually forgotten by the time of the Republic Dark Age.

we can live without it and I doubt the community as a whole cares about it. Majority of the people here care more about features they had in WoW.
and the Force beat generic Swords and Magic any day. 8/26/14 That was my old signature but after RotHC, I went back to superheroes and swords and magic. Now waiting on Dragon Age and a SWTOR story expac for my Bioware fix 7/30/15 Returned for KotFE. Finally, a story expac.
