I want an adaptation of KOTOR but like this:

tell Revan's story like all the other new Staar Wars media. Big, flashy effects and sets, interwoven plots, the whole works.

And then when TSL gets adapted for season 2, shoot the whole thing on a 40 year old, poorly taken care of camera. Use no CGI. at all. Original Trilogy style fight choreography. Pace it like 2001 Space Odyssey. Have maybe 3 action scenes in the entire series. Play up the miserable, dull tone.

I want it to feel like a something I dug out of a bin at a pawn shop for 50 cents.

and then do an R rated flashback to Malachor V with the whole VFX package. make it look like I'm watching an action movie for 5 minutes and then a horror movie for 30 seconds before jarringly swapping back.

The only good TSL adaptation is one that encapsulates the whiplash and ancient, liminal, half finished and sown together vibe of the original, which was so unintentionally perfect for such an unconventional story.

Hello KotOR fans 👋

I was thinking about celebrating KotOR and KotOR 2 with a week of prompts for artists and writers! I was thinking of maybe doing it around the 6th December when TSL was first released (20 years ago this year!) and I wanted to see what the general enthusiasm for something like this would be!

Me after Kreia loses her hand because she thought she could take on Darth Sion by herself without even a lightsaber

[inthegardenpraying]

"It is not possible to walk away from such things unscarred, to keep living when the universe dies around you..." it's my single favorite quote from Sion and I think it's because it made me realize the motif of trauma. Most major characters in KOTOR II experience an extremely traumatic event in their lifetime. Hanharr can't handle owing a lifedebt to Mira and goes insane. Bao-Dur still feels immense guilt over his activation of the Mass Shadow Generator. Same with Atton and his guilt over being an assassin. Sion was defeated in battle, literally dying. Visas had her planet destroyed by Nihilus, who in turn was murdered by the Mass Shadow Generator. Kreia was exiled and eventually betrayed by her sith apprentices. Even though G0-T0 is a droid, his purpose is to fix the mass trauma of an entire civilization. Lastly, Meetra Surik (or just the exile) cut off from the force to survive the stress of the Mass Shadow Generator. As an exception, I'd say Disciple and Handmaiden don't necessarily have personal trauma but this is because they are introduced to the exile as a novice and will grow alongside you and reflect your decisions. The entire galaxy underwent trauma in the Mandalorian wars, and the story of KOTOR II is how react to your own trauma, the trauma of your companions, and ultimately the trauma of the republic.

I see the light side and dark side choices in game as the way you dealt with your trauma and how you help others through theirs, rather than explicit rejections or embraces of Jedi/Sith teachings. After all, you aren't even a member of the Jedi Order anymore and you left a long time ago because you didn't agree with them. Think about it like the restoration project on Telos, but with the emotional and mental health of every character in the game. When Sion tells you that nobody could walk away from such things "unscarred" its up to you whether or not that's even true. Do you walk the path of the light side and find redemption/healing through community, altruism, and self sacrifice? Or do you walk the path of the dark side: hardening yourself for protection and seeking power at the expense of others' wellbeing? Sion and Nihilus chose the latter and take take the idea to its apex. Neither can survive without the force and they are restricted by their relationship to it. Kreia makes a point to say that Nihilus does not know true power as he cannot control himself, or his abilities. He is completely beholden to a primal urge to feed. Sion loses to you in the very clip because you have the stronger will. While they survived their trauma, they are weaker because they never healed. They are "scarred" as Sion says.

Kreia offers a third way, based off your own survival at Malachor. Reliance upon the self, upon willpower and strength of mind is the only way to survive. After all, you did survive Malachor not because of your connection to the force, but because you were strong without it. It is the synthesis of Sith and Jedi ideas, which she combined after spending time as a great master of both orders. But is this a true way to heal from trauma? It may never be possible to heal from trauma, but look at how far your companions come and only after YOU took the time to influence them. They are strong on their own, surviving years on dangerous planets or designing weapons that bring armies to their knees, but through their connection to YOU, to a community, they unlock their true potential.
