I am writing this petition to urge Disney to grant Larian Studios the opportunity to develop a new game using the iconic Knights of the Old Republic (KOTOR) intellectual property. KOTOR 1 & 2, developed by BioWare and Obsidian Entertainment respectively, hold a special place in my heart as they were formative narrative experiences during my childhood.

The KOTOR series is widely revered by RPG enthusiasts for its immersive storytelling, complex characters, and deep gameplay mechanics. It successfully transported players into a richly detailed universe set thousands of years before the events depicted in the main Star Wars saga. The games allowed us to explore morally ambiguous choices while unraveling an epic tale that shaped our perception of what it means to be a Jedi or Sith.

Larian Studios has proven their exceptional talent with their recent release, Baldur's Gate 3. This highly anticipated game has received critical acclaim for its engaging narrative, strategic combat system, and faithful adaptation of the beloved Baldur's Gate franchise. With their expertise in creating compelling RPG experiences and attention to detail when it comes to world-building, Larian Studios is uniquely capable of continuing the legacy established by KOTOR.

By granting Larian Studios access to develop a new installment in the Knights of the Old Republic series, Disney would not only satisfy long-time fans but also attract new players who are eager for an immersive Star Wars experience. The success achieved by other recent Star Wars games such as Jedi: Fallen Order demonstrates that there is still immense demand for quality storytelling within this beloved universe.

I understand that licensing decisions involve careful consideration from all parties involved; however, I believe that allowing Larian Studios to work on KOTOR would be mutually beneficial for both Disney and fans alike. By entrusting this esteemed studio with the task of reviving KOTOR, Disney can ensure that the series receives the attention it deserves while also tapping into Larian Studios' proven ability to deliver exceptional RPG experiences.

In conclusion, I urge Disney to recognize the passion and enthusiasm shared by countless fans who long for a new Knights of the Old Republic game. By granting Larian Studios the opportunity to develop this highly anticipated project, we can embark on an unforgettable journey through a galaxy far, far away once again. Let us embrace this chance to revive a beloved franchise and create new memories that will resonate with both old and new generations of Star Wars fans.

Thank you for considering our petition. May the Force be with you.
