it will be a continuation of the Knights of the Old Republic franchise.

That's about 300 years after the events of KotOR

Uh, you're going to make a continuation of the KotOR franchise... 300 years after the events of that franchise?? LucasArts forced Obsidian to rush out KotOR II before Christmas and so they didn't have time to give the game the ending it deserved - no conflicts were resolved in a satisfactory manner, leaving it up to a future sequel. And now they're just going to jump 300 years into the future, a time when most of the characters from the last two games are dead, and expect it to make sense?

Yeah, good luck with that.

(Or more likely, they're going to start a new storyline entirely and they just slapped on the KotOR label for name recognition.)
