Star Wars KOTOR Movie In Development?

[Use the Falchion]

So according to IGN (who cite BuzzFeed News) there's a Star Wars KOTOR movie in development. While I'd rather see KOTOR as a tv show given the length of the game or a revamp of the game given how loved it is, I'll take a movie too! It should also not that this IS NOT A GUARANTEE THAT THE MOVIES WILL HAPPEN. I might never get past the development stage. 

What are y'all's thoughts on all of this?

I’d also prefer a TV show, but I think they could pull it off. I’m cautiously optimistic.

This seems like a cool possibility, especially since I've never had the chance to play any of the KOTOR games. I vote for Dave Filoni for director, with George Lucas as creative consultant

I second the nomination for Filoni!

He would seriously be awesome as director. He got some live-action practice with the Mandalorian already, and a movie would be a great way to flex his storytelling chops.

Definitely, aside from my love of TCW as a show, and as SW in general, I think he's got mad props as a storyteller

I’d also be interested to see how his experience in animation would affect his live-action techniques. We’re seeing the other way around already, with them motion capturing Ray Park as Maul for the Siege of Mandalore in Clone Wars Season 7.

An Old Republic set of films probably has me the most excited out of everything they could do theatrically.  But how will they do it?  Start at the games startpoint? Earlier?  There's so much lore and character there.  There's a lot to adapt if they want to.
