Ya know, I've really come to dislike KOTOR. The prequelization of eras outside of the PT began in earnest with this damn video game.

Drew Karpyshyn's a shitty writer, though, who like screwing established continuity over just so he can paint things the way he wants to paint them, so why should I be surprised?

I will be honest here. What KOTOR did was take the decent stuff from PT and made something great out of it. For example, Revan's fall to the dark side is exactly what Anakin's fall should have been.

The story could have worked just as well if Revan and Malak hadn't been Darths, hadn't even been Sith, or weilded red lightsabers.

And JFTR, it isn't the general storyline of the game I take issue with (I haven't played the game, but from what I've read about it, it doesn't sound bad), it's the unnecessary prequelisms I've already mentioned.

If the established continuity is not too good, I am actually happy that someone takes it and paint it in a better way. I had never particularly liked stuff like TOTJ until KOTOR and SWTOR presented it in a better way.

Tomato, tomahto. I still say that if you want to write about PT-styled Sith, stick them in the PT era where they belong.
