"Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic was one of the first games to feel like a major recontextualization of Star Wars canon. Its impact on the franchise was profound, setting a standard for future expansions."
"Theoretically, there's no division between what happens in games and what happens in films and TV shows, creating a meaningful connection across different media within the Star Wars narrative."
The Star Wars franchise has grown significantly since its inception, particularly through video games. While titles like Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic redefined the canon, contemporary games often focus on familiar timelines without adding substantial narrative weight. Despite the integration of games into the broader Star Wars universe, many recent releases fail to feel consequential, reflecting a disconnect in the franchise's cohesion. The relationship between games and other media remains unique, yet many current titles do not push the narrative boundaries.
