    Amazing how Avellone didn't originally like Star Wars, but his dedication to his work really made one of the single best additions to the universe. The fact that people are still talking for hours about KOTOR 2 all these years later really makes me believe it might have been the pinnacle of well written Star Wars. Great video, the craving for more KOTOR never goes away. Please continue.

    What makes Avellone's initial apprehension about Star Wars even more interesting is the fact that he made it quite clear that he did not like the idea of the Force. He really hated it apparently, but it's why he made Kreia's philosophy so antithetical to more traditional interpretations of the Force.

This invisible all controlling Force that effectively just gave people the illusion of free-will (I get why he hates it! 😂😂). But I've always found it so clever that a choice driven RPG, that is all about choice and influence, was the vehicle for his commentary. It's quite remarkable to me that KOTOR 2 still manages to feel so faithful to Star Wars, but that's Avellone's extensive background reading showing. It's a truly nuanced commentary on one of the world's most popular fantasy epics.

    Chris Avellone not being a fan of star wars was actually such a blessing in disguise for this game.
    The plot of KOTOR2 was such an in depth critique of all the absurd hypocrisies we see in the Star Wars universe. The Jedi being hypocritical cowards that cast out and judge their fallen students without reflecting on their own code/teachings being flawed. The Sith preaching freedom, but ultimately being doomed to infighting and betrayal, preventing any longevity to the power they seek. The force itself having a will of its own, and influencing events through sheer coincidence in the name of balance, while trillions die, and governments destabilize after consecutive wars in the process.
    No other piece of SW media has gotten close to the depth and reflection this game brings to the table. And its sad because the new canon is trying to be more nuanced (jedi and sith = both bad dur hur) but doesn't prescribe any meaningful solution or story in its place.

      Also a 5 minutes check says it is actually LESS likely. Visas Marr was the only survivor of her Colony (one of many) meaning the odds that Adeline Marr is not related is significantly Decreased. Particularly as Jedi (as Visas Marr becomes) don't have offspring generally... and given that her primary companion after her colony was destroyed was a no corporal Sith.
      More so... As that race tends to be more likely to be a Jedi... and only one Colony was destroyed, and it has only been about 13 generations (likely less in reality) Of the Millions of her race only a little 8000 could be her direct ancestor at the time of Visas.
      Given the Visas likely had no children and that so little time has passed, it is actually unlikely they are related.

    I don't know how useless would be to mention that Kreia might be Arren Kae, an exiled jedi master, therefore being Brienna's mother. Even though there's no confirmation. White hair isn't an indicator due to Kreia's being white probably from age. But I found the idea amusing that the "betreyal" she whispers through force to Atris is Kreia's being somewhat proud/happy that Brienna broke the oath and betrayed Atris.

      I always thought that Kreia was actually sad Brianna followed her footsteps and betrayed her order to be with a man just like she did. Probably does not rank high on the list of thinks she thinks were good decisions. I assumed she was saddened because her daughter had given up everything she was up to that point for simple desire for being with someone, and that would be horrendous weakness in Kreia's eyes.

    • @miqvPL
      @miqvPL 3 года назад +12

      @@marcojoinha I see it very differently- Kreia calls her "servant of Atris" with visible disgust, seeing her as just a pawn in Atris games, a slave to ideology of jedi guardians. In my interpretation she sees Brianna betraying Atris teachings as becoming free, clashing the ideology she believed in with reality, shattering it and building a new one ( I think Kreia teaches something about making your own complete ideology during the wookie lesson, sadly the game script bugged during my last playthrough and I didn't get the dialogue with Kreia where I can discuss it).
      But You do have a very valid point with seeing falling in love as weakness, it's why Kreia admires that Revan left everything he valued and loved behind to fight in this new conflict he pursued. In some places attachments like that are only a weakness, although Luke Skywalker would probably still call them sources of his strength, something that can push him above and beyond

    Two for one Kotor 1 + 2 fact: Revan's cardboard cape
    Darth Revan's full set of robes (with mask and cape) are a super popular choice for players to wear in both games via mods. By default, the cape is not animated, is as stiff as cardboard and will show Revan's legs and arms clipping through it all the time when doing anything besides standing still. This is because regular NPC and player animations were not intended to be used on the Revan model, so no attempt was made to animate it, as the only time it is seen in game is in the revelation cutscene. All other scenes of Revan are pre-rendered animations not in the game's engine. It would've been extra unnecessary work, so it's somewhat understandable.
    In Kotor 2, you actually do see Revan in-game use the player/NPC animation set because you fight him as a vision in the tomb of Ludo Kressh. In cut content, you were also supposed to face the dark doppelganger of you that was briefly standing next to Revan before fading away. His model is exactly the same as in Kotor 1, meaning the cape is not animated and will look just as ridiculous as it did in the first game if modded into it. Obsidian probably didn't have time to animate the cape given the game's rushed nature, but I like to think it was more of a lazy easter egg that referenced how modding the player as Darth Revan in the first Kotor was one of the first things players did when they got the PC version of the game, only to be distraught when Revan's glorious cape has the properties of sandpaper.
    You can download mods to give Revan a properly animated cape for both Kotor and TSL. Both mods which have excellent quality animations which is impressive considering how difficult it is to mod animations and new models into the game.

      Dave Filoni hasn't put out anything good without George Lucas. And Chris Avellone only made one significant Star Wars work, and that work didn't really influence the Star Wars lore outside of TLJ and a couple of nods in TOR. I think people like Timothy Zahn and Drew Karpyshyn deserve those spots more, especially Timothy Zahn.

    My friend like I said in your last video, this is not useless information at all!!!! Your videos are always fascinating, intriguing and insightful because you continue to expand my limited knowledge of Star Wars. I know you enjoy Unreal Cinema's fan remake of KOTOR just like I enjoy KOTOR Movie Saga and Darthycey's work but again I'm still hoping Disney and Lucasfilms will make Knights of the Old Republic into an animated series someday.
    Last week on July 27th at her movie premiere, Felicity Jones said "I never shut the door on Jyn Erso" it makes me so happy when she says that. Felicity talked about the possibility of returning to Star Wars so I'm still hopeful for that since Cassian Andor is getting his own show. Last thing my friend is I hope you don't mind me constantly bugging you to do a review at the end of season 1 for the Bad Batch series

    Correct me if I am wrong, the name "Darth Nihilus" appears in one of the journal logs, but was never explicitly spoken by any character in the game. In KOTOR II, he was simply referred to as "Visas' Master", "Master of the Ship (Ravager)", and so on. If true, this kind of highlights the fact that Darth Nihilus is merely a Dark Side reflection of Meetra Surik (Jedi Exile) and what she could have become had she turned to the Dark Side.

    I mean technically you can’t say that anything in Kotor is canon because it was decanonized by the Disney Corporation.
    Also what made certain things like the exile being female or her hair being brown “canon” was Drew Karpyshyn’s “Revan” novel.
    The Revan novel is pretty contentious among fans of Kotor 2 because it was written solely to fill some of the gap between Kotor 2 and Swtor, yet it was very clear that Karpyshyn knew very little about Kotor 2 and the novel suffers for it.

      But let’s just say for the sake of discussion that you’re right and it is how “the original story is meant to be.” KOTOR is an RPG. Many of the things about the game such as character appearance/choices are up to the player. When KOTOR was released there was no official “How it’s meant to be.” That’s the whole point of an RPG. The “canon” that this guy is talking about comes from a book that was written 8 years after KOTOR was released.

    KOTOR 2 with another year or two of development would have blown everything about KOTOR 1 out of the water. Its writing already does. We always hear from Sith about how Jedi are bad and from Jedi about how Sith are bad...but it wasn't until I played this game that I truly understood how messed up both groups are. KOTOR 2 seems a bit grimdark and it has real consequences shown from the first game. KOTOR 1 was an amazing game and I love it...but it wasn't that much different than a typical hero's journey space opera (minus the twist). I never felt dread or shame for what I did in the first game. In the second game, just helping some refugees on Nar Shaddaa causes more harm.

    Useless fact: 1:50 Jolee's robe is the only thing restricted to neutrality in KOTOR 2.
    Every other restriction forces you to take a for/against stance: items, force powers, the dark cave, alignment, influence, and whether to give money to the beggar or not. The game really really don't like Apathy, except if it's clouded in a cunning way (e.g. the neutral shrouded dark side of Kreia or if you pretend to be good only to abuse naive people such as Chodo Habat or Dantoine) to some other goal.

    Chris Avellone in my opinion, to date, might be the only writer who sucessfully attempted to elevate Star Wars above the average space opera good vs. evil adventure scenarios ubiquitous in all other Star Wars media. It made attempts to explore the nature of The Force, to make it more than a plot device that allows the good guys to save the day. But, alas, like many other ambitious writers, his developments were cut short by corporate greed.
    I hope I don't sound too pompous, but I feel like this is the only piece of star wars media that, in terms of story and world building, rises above the rest in the franchise and shows a more mature side while still maintaining a Teen ESRB rating. By "mature" I don't mean gratuitous swearing and sex scenes between siblings but things that went completely over my head when I played it as a teenager.

      It is almost certainly his ship, based on his responses telling you a load of info about the ship only someone with genuine experience with it would understand. In cut content, he will enter the ebon hawk at the same moment the Red Eclipse slavers (the Trandos and other aliens you fight on it) come aboard. They will ask him if he is the rightful owner of the ship. He confirms it, then is knocked out by one of the mooks and is detained. When you confront the Red Eclipse leader in the Ebon Hawk, If you kill the leader, the 'rightful owner' of the Ebon Hawk will tell you that there was a misunderstanding and that you can have his ship back and he leaves. If you let the Red Eclipse leader live so that they will serve and pay you, the exile offers the 'rightful owner' as a slave to the Red Eclipse for their spice mines.
