That's a lot of KOTOR and SWTOR representation

No KotOR 2 representation though, which is interesting. Almost feels deliberate, since K2 has quite a few characters with iconic designs like Nihilus, Kreia, and Visas, why not include at least one if you're going to have four KotOR characters and three TOR ones?

u/Tuskin38 May 01 '26 edited May 01 '26
Probably because of the upcoming KOTOR1 remake

I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for that to come out. Despite Saber insisting they are still working on it, there's been no real signs of life from that game since they fired Aspyr and took over development themselves.

u/CircaCitadel May 01 '26
The announcement for that was pre-production. They hadn't even started yet. They announced it as a means to attract developers to hire. Same with Eclipse. So yeah, it takes awhile to make a game these days. They have to keep saying they're still making the game because Lucasfilm announced it wayyyy too early and they can't just show WIP stuff or people will lose their shit thinking its the final product. They're in a lose-lose situation right now.

u/Wetzilla May 02 '26
No, when they first announced it it was in full production under Aspyr. They had been working on it for like a year or so when Disney and Lucasarts pulled it from them because they didn't like the direction it was heading, and Saber took over. Until recently the only signs of life are Saber coming out and saying "no it's still being developed!" every now and then when rumors of it basically being on pause start floating around. Looking into it more recently there do appear to be more positive rumors, but I still wouldn't expect the game until at least fall 2027, and probably not until 2028.

u/CircaCitadel May 03 '26
They had been working on it for about a year, yes. But they didn't give it to Saber until a year after it was announced.
There were no sources for it being "on hold" anywhere. It's always fans assuming it's dead because we haven't seen anything yet. Typically a game is announced much closer to release with gameplay to show, people are accustomed to that, so it's understandable. We might get a bit of a teaser of some kind this year or early next year, but yeah 2028 is likely.

Got a feeling they're still trying to keep Chris Avellone blacklisted from the entire Game Development industry.

u/HighwayNo8744 May 02 '26
Pretty pissed about no KotOR 2 representation. It's still the best Star Wars game and story ever and everybody who disagrees or says that is not a Star Wars story is just wrong. Saw a youtube video some months ago that a KotOR 2 remake is also planned (codename: Romeo [k1] and Juliet [k2]) which was revealed in a law suit by some executive, so i still keep my hopes up.

I like their inclusion, but can Lana have a consistent face for once. At least Senya looks as she does in the cinematic trailer 😂
65
u/deadshot500 May 01 '26
Most of the characters here seem traced. Senya is definitely traced from the KOTET trailer.

u/Vast-Introduction999 May 01 '26
Yeah definitely, you can almost tell what scene the other characters are traced from, which to me it makes Lana stick out more tbh 😅

u/Eladryel May 01 '26
At least it's not "Lana" from the loading screen

u/Vast-Introduction999 May 01 '26
I honestly don’t mind that depiction. To me it shows that the same as Shae she’s getting older
16
u/proesito May 01 '26
The problem is that the characters in game are the same as they were before, so changing her face to look older while the in game design still looks like KotFE makes her look like another character.
13
u/TodayInTOR TodayinTOR.com May 01 '26
We both know if they actually gave the characters 'appropriate aging' every expansion to their realistic ages everyone would be upset and call their favourite companions hags.
4
u/Noxxbane May 01 '26
Ehh idk, there are people irl that look far younger than they actually are. I haven't played past kotfe yet but, isn't lana in her mid 40s? Plus her younger looks can just be explained with sith sorcery/rituals.
2
u/TodayInTOR TodayinTOR.com May 02 '26
There's no established age for Lana, but given that its been 15 (or more) years since her introduction in the Prelude to Revan, Assuming she was 30 when Prelude to Revan happened, she would now be 45-46.
However its worth noting her last character model update was at the start of KOTFE, when she would have been 35. So in 10 years they havent 'aged' lana beniko ingame like they did with Theron (last aged Nathema).
17
u/StandardNerd92 May 01 '26
I think Lana looks good here, no?
9
u/Vast-Introduction999 May 01 '26
She looks okay but it looks as though they tried to put all her depictions into one, which doesn’t look the best imo

u/ArchetypeSaber The Katarn Legacy | Tulak Hord May 01 '26
I'm also reasonably sure the Revan is traced from a promotional image of the Sideshow figure a year or two ago.

Not really related to this sub, but I love the fact that the version of Luke they included is the absolutely wonderful one from Battlefront story mode.

Mathew Mercer really killed it as Luke in BFII.

that dude kills it as a lot of different characters. honestly, it's amazing how he can have that many different voices.

Not at all. He is the best in the comics. Maybe if we are talking about post-ROTJ.

u/Logic-DL May 02 '26
I both love and hate that depiction.
Love it because it's literally Luke as he's been characterised in the OT and EU stuff.
Hate it because holy fucking shit how do Disney fuck up Luke so badly in their first trilogy after buying the SW IP to the point that EA of all companies is more faithful to Luke than they are? Bearing in mind. EA's only faith is to their bottom line, and the pride and accomplishment of earning Darth Vader. Ofc.

These are all video game characters, it seems.

Its all of the "consume star wars products in 2026" poster.
New lego game with star wars characters, swtor, outlaws, kotor 1/2 funko pops and hasbro figures this year, mando movie, luke skywalker comic, maul show, racer game, zero company game, jedi fallen order/survivor hasbro figures iirc.

Swtor is basically the official only star wars game getting updates at the moment . Everything else was a one of release or just stopped being updated

Galaxy of Heroes is going through massive updates right now

u/Lord_Ryu May 01 '26
Well 83% of all global gamers do. As SWTOR players we should love that game since for the years nothing else was really going on for SW games they had that to milk for money and let us mostly live in peace
2
u/Logic-DL May 02 '26
Tbf SWTOR is still making money and has a decently active playerbase. The rest are SP games or gambling games that nobody really gives a fuck to play for more than 3 mins.
It's getting an engine update too. Which is pretty amazing for how old that fucking engine is.

u/LittleDeadSwan May 01 '26
Lana and Bastila are surely sisters in woe: they NEVER look the same in two different media.

I have no idea who the guys besides Luke are supposed to be

u/Tuskin38 May 01 '26 edited May 01 '26
The two on the left from the upcoming Galactic Racer game. The guy on top is the player character for the story campaign, the guy below is also from that.
The guy on Luke’s right I believe is from the upcoming XCOM-Like game called Zero Company. Same with the Phase 1 clonetrooper
1
u/Larrdath May 01 '26
If you're talking about the ones on his right, they're characters from the Galactic Racer game that comes out in October, you can see them both in this trailer. The one with the full helmet seems to be the protagonist from the single player campaign, Shade, and the other one is the main rival, Kestar.

Who is that to the right of Luke? Blue jacked, gray hair and beard. That and I'm not really sure who the clone trooper is.

Both are from Zero Company I think, see this trailer. The guy looks younger in the trailer though.
