There are many things to like about KOTOR. I don't even DISlike the plot. It was much better than many computer game plots. But I have never ever seen it as this super-genius thing that people seem to mysteriously say it is. Frankly, not wanting to sound pig-headed, but I've done SW games with much better plots. There's just nothing really fantastic to KOTOR. In fact, Baldur's Gate (from the same studio) had a better plot, as did Planescape: Torment.
Oh yes,I found that plot twist in ESB , how did you put it, "mundane" as well.

You can restrict them to their plots and compare them, easily. Strip out the gaming of KOTOR and the special effects and acting of ROTS and all you have is a storyline. And I simply do not understand why KOTOR's rather typical plot ssores over ROTS's culmination of twenty five year's work.
You are right KOTOR isn't that great Plot wise
But KOTOR is a much better game than ROTS is a film
