Guess Star Wars: Galaxies wasn't open world(s), either.
No, it wasn't. It was a series of very small maps.
What do you think planets are?
Celestial bodies that orbit a star, but there are lots of ways to represent them in video games, and KOTOR's implementation was not what most people would call open world.
Such a massive miss that you can’t craft your own character. That alone makes kills it for me
I disagree. A created character can’t exist in Star Wars beyond the game they are created in. This character has the possibility of appearing in cameos across mediums.
This is kind of what's killing Star Wars right now though. We don't need 50 different character threads placed throughout six different shows that run parallel/in sequence with each other.
It's also what's killing the MCU.
I disagree. Star Wars seems to be doing fine outside of the mainline sequel trilogy. In fact, I’d say it’s the pantheon of secondary and tertiary characters and their stories that redeemed the prequels.
Marvel is fun, but admittedly a bit cramped since everything is kind of bound to earth within a relatively limited span of modern times. Star Wars not so much. Granted, a lot circles around the Skywalker era, but a lot of stories are told that have nothing to do with the skywalkers or anything else you see in the movies. Sometimes they add significance to things we always took for granted, like Rogue One and the acquisition of the Death Star plans.
Am I right to assume you were not a fan of The Mandalorian?
Oh joy
Jedi survivor was open world
