While the game and storyline look absolutely amazing, in the grand scheme of Star Wars, it renders all continuity moot. When I read the original plot, I thought it was a fantastic idea (if you disregard the fact that it shares similarities with the Empire), but after watching the trailer, George Lucas is an idiot who should have quit years ago. The storyline makes no sense, the characters make no sense. Nothing makes any sense in the game if you consider everything you know about star wars, canon. Anyways, I don't give a damn about anything new related to star wars because it's a waste of time following contradictions.
Obviously republic wins, otherwise the movies would've never happened.
But seriously? Why are the sith so stupid? They'll never actually succeed in taking control of the galaxy for more than a few years, MAYBE decades. They fail every time. And it's all because of overconfidence and infighting.

Democracy is the very definition of awesome.
How about the fact that the trailer says they've been playing for 300 years. Since the "True Sith" escaped millennia ago, and the sith emperor after the hyperspace war, how could have they only been preparing for 300 years?
How about the Sith Academy on Korriban? All of a sudden it's up and running like nothing ever happened? The True Sith haven't been to Korriban in thousands of years.
And finally, how about the Truth Sith themselves. They disappeared sometime after the birth of the republic, so they're all of the sith species, including the emperor and all of the sith lords who escaped the great hyperspace war. Yet the sith for the most part are humans in the game. How the hell are the true sith humans? And how did the ancient sith know the location of the true sith? All bullshit.
I have to agree that the storyline makes no sense really,(as of now anyway) why would the sith emperor (who is so old) all of sudden give up the idea of galactic conquest when it seems like the sith empire is about to overrun the republic?
Edit:
Especially given what Traya says about them,makes it seems like the were set to invade the republic not long after kotor 2. The only thing I could think of is Revan and the Exile (provided no major plot twists involving them) doing some serious damage to them.
Didn't Traya say they would eventually remember and its not too far fetched for them to get the information out of someone such as the mandalorians given their supposed role in starting their war with the republic.
I agree with this to an extent, my guess is that they have done some serious recruiting and found a lot of people who hate the republic, bribed others,maybe used sith magic on them.
You lost me here.

How did the ancient sith know the location of the true sith? As in how did whoever the hell it was that escaped the great hyperspace war, know the location in the unknown regions? And as far as recruiting goes, that makes no sense because the true sith were all sith species. I don't think any of the recruits in the game have any connection to the sith people, including the dark council who, according to the comics, look human.
Depends on whether or not they are sticking with that meaning of True Sith, I suppose...
I think it has been 300 years since Revan went looking for them (around the time of the first KOTOR game), perhaps meaning that they had not been plotting to invade the Republic until around that time?
I don't see how it buggers up things, I just see how some of the plotline is already weak.
Why would the true sith, who have been out of contact with the known galaxy for 15-20,000 years, only be planning retaliation right after the Jedi Civil. Also, how do the True Sith even know who the Jedi are, seeing as how they never came in contact with them.

then why is it taking place 300 yrs after? what happens inbetween? Imho it would be more like a KotOR 10,11,12,13,14 rather than 3456789
and thats just sad. They are destroying the KotOR franchise that has been so successful. They should expand on their success until it runs out, then try the mmo. Isn't that how it usually is anyways?
Like in Final Fantasy, they are still going. I think its up to FFXIII now.. lol
Frankly "Star wars continuity" and "storyline" and the "grand scheme of star wars" is Bull shit as of 1999. Everyone agrees that george lucas should have quit years ago. THe only reason I watched the latest three or read any recent comics or books is for the fact that everything looks amaizing. Stop whining about a continuity that was ruined in 1999 when the OT was made. the game looks sexy.
I think they've thought this through a little bit more than you have, bud. Like Knightfall said, just enjoy the game - or don't - and move on with your life.
Does anyone really think he gives a shit about any of the EU beyond it raking in millions for his bank account?
His part in the saga is done...He's made his films and it's doubtful he'll be making any more.
For the most part the use of George Lucas in the development of plots for games/comics/books/cartoons doesn't go beyond his allowing his name to be used so as to make even more money.
Does he care if it ****s up continuity? No
Does he care if people get upset that it ****s up continuity from something else he didn't care about in the 1st place?...No
Why?...Because most star wars obsessives will still buy it anyway and he'll have made his money.
