No reason not to create a Kotor 3 to go alongside swtor

This is Battlefront, not a Kotor game. And it's being developed by EA Digital Illusions, not Bioware. Looks pretty good if you like action/combat games though. Me, I'm not into them so much.

Ughhhhhh... Battlefield 4.

LOL, that's what I was thinking when I read it. Battlefield with a Star Wars theme......no thank you!!

Incorrect, the Star Wars "Open world game" (I don't think it's been called an RPG - I expect it will be a more action/adventure game) is being developed by Visceral Games, and it is separate from the DICE-developed Battlefront that has also been announced.

And personally, I am abso-freaking-lutely thrilled that Amy Hennig will be heading it - she was lead writer on one of my favorite game series: Legacy of Kain (hence my sig. quote), and she's better known as the creative director on the Uncharted series.

There's plenty of room for another Kotor story. Personally, I'd pick the story up with with the rebuilding of the order after the events of 1 and 2. There's 300 year of 'what happened?' between kotor 2 and swtor--and my personal hope is that this was the sw game pitch that obsidian had for disney, although I'm not sure that every happened.

This applies when there is 1, 2 or a whole 3 books/games/movies/toys related to the IP.

When there's 100,000 things to license, policies are put in place and mass licensing for whole lines of products is sold.
The IP holder doesn't check out every Lego toy and read out every story, he releases a set of policies and licensing options. The money's paid first, the work is produced second, contracts are binding and the original IP holder doesn't go reviewing a work after it's been paid for, unless the contract explicitly provide something to that extent. Star Wars has a very extensive framework of licensing policies and agreements.

Bioware doesn't run everything they do by Lucasfilms. Unless EA's agreement forbids them from doing so, they could put in a Darth Vader mount along with a Palpatine pet. They probably don't have a license for movie material, though, in which case they can't use it. But they can certainly make a Darth Revan mount and miniature Jedi pets and no one can do a thing about it. The original IP holder can't turn back on a licensing contract and say "no, I don't like it, it's disrespectful, don't publish", unless their contract explicitly includes review; they give up that right when they take the money.


Practice shows the exact opposite: the more garbage, the more profit.
Even Jar Jar Binks has its fans and people who don't like that garbage just skip it.
