Surely it's 4,000 years- not 40,000... doesn't this explain why it's so similar? ;)
It is actually 3,650 years before Star Wars .A New Hope to those who came on the scene late, i still call it star wars.
The Jedi Mandalorean war is mentioned to have been fairly recent in the book. I am wondering where in the timeline does the game take place.
Maybe the war mentioned in the book is not the one i am thinking of, the one where Revan and Malak fight the mandaloreans .
It would be nice for someone to make a old republic guide that fits the Veich/anderson stuff, with the first two kotor games, the kotor comic, the online comics for the old republic and the printed one, and the game so we know when all this stuff takes place.
Not sure what else will be retconned i watched one of those holorecord things and it mentioned Bastila Shan was a jedi master. She never was in the game she was a knight without a padawan.
The book is better than that awful time travel book that came out recently, but just barely rises above tie in fiction.
Tie in fiction for an mmo, based on the film franchise. We have yet to be told the level of canon of the Old Republic or George's involvement. Is it regular EU or a special case like the clone wars cartoon series and the force unleashed games which are either G-canon or just below that because of Mr. Lucas involvement.
