Knights of the Old Republic remains one of the most beloved video games in sci-fi gaming history. Despite its massive popularity and influence, it has never been officially adapted into a film or series—until now. Reports suggest that Disney has finally recognized the potential of this iconic story and is working on bringing it to a much wider audience.
Rumors of a Knights of the Old Republic adaptation have circulated for years, but this time the information comes from a source with a strong track record. Industry insider Daniel Richtman recently revealed on his Patreon that “Lucasfilm is developing a show set during the Knights of the Old Republic era.”
The phrasing here is important—it likely won’t be a direct remake of the game. In many ways, that could be a huge advantage. Game-to-screen adaptations rarely succeed when they try to follow the source material too closely. While The Last of Us stands out as a rare exception, most others have struggled. By drawing inspiration rather than recreating the story beat for beat, this new show has the chance to stand on its own while still honoring what made the original game special.
That said, fans may still recognize certain characters, worlds, or lore making their way into the series. Because the original game allowed players to shape the story through their decisions, multiple timelines and possible outcomes already exist in the narrative. This gives the writers freedom to explore new directions while remaining faithful to the essence of the original.
For now, the project remains shrouded in speculation, but if true, this could mark the beginning of a major expansion for one of gaming’s most legendary sagas.
