Well, when we first reported that Knights of the Old Republic 3 was coming, we were right.  A report on Portfolio.com has confirmed that LucasArts and BioWare are working together to bring KOTOR 3 as an MMO (Massive Multiplayer Online).  In an interview at E3 this week, Electronic Arts chief executive John Riccitiello said that EA is working on the next version of Star Wars game Knights of the Old Republic, and it will most certainly have a massively multiplayer online component to it.

All we can say is “It’s about time!”.

We have the interview below:

Recently, Lucas Arts laid off numerous employees and one of them supposedly spilled the beans to Kotaku about upcoming titles.  Here are a few that are in the works according to Kotaku and the disgruntled ex-employee:

 

  • KOTOR 3 (They say it’s an MMO)
  • Battlefront 3
  • The Official Indiana Jones game
  • another LEGO game based on the Indy universe
  • a lightsaber game for the wii (but no lightsaber peripherals)

 

The odds of these being true are fairly good.  There was no doubt in my mind that Lucas has been actively working on KOTOR 3.  It’s just a surprise that it might be an MMO.  I’m hoping it’s not, because an MMO would be a big deviation from one of the greatest game series of all-time.  KOTOR and KOTOR 2 were awesome titles.  I don’t see why they would change the formula now.

“Listen Obama, take off those coke bottles and ‘choke hold’ those Republicans”

At Kezins.com, we do not talk religion, politics or salary.  I can’t say that for Star Wars conversations, and all the “What If’s” we ask each other… daily.  So, when you throw Star Wars into the mix, we’ll write about it.  Don’t kill the messenger but George Lucas has some strong comments, and I only understand them when he speaks ‘Star Wars’.  Correct he may be.

George Lucas has created legendary film heroes like Luke Skywalker and Indiana Jones, but the US director says that in real life, his hero is Barack Obama.

Lucas was in Japan on Wednesday to promote his latest film, “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull,” as Obama clinched the Democratic Party’s nomination for president.

“We have a hero in the making back in the United States today because we have a new candidate for president of the United States, Barack Obama,” Lucas said when asked who his childhood heroes were.

Obama, “for all of us that have dreams and hope, is a hero,” Lucas said.

Lucas is the creator of the blockbuster “Star Wars” series, as well as the adventures of the swashbuckling archaeologist Indiana Jones, played by Harrison Ford.

Obama on Tuesday sealed the Democratic contest after a marathon battle with Hillary Clinton, becoming the first black White House candidate nominated by a major party.

Many say the ‘Chosen One’ in his movies was indeed Luke Skywalker, and some people think it’s still Vader since he single-handedly (pun intended) threw Emperor Palpatine down the Vent Shaft.  So is he right this time with Obama?
