There are some original characters here joining the new group, it's using the same universe and a timeframe equivalent to the lifetime of the originals, it's focus is a different story, other original characters appear in cameos to sort of pass the baton to the new group as we find out their fates. KotOR 2 does have all the elements of a spin-off. Had Revan and co been the focus of this story then yes it would have been a sequel but since the protagonists of the original are not the protagonists here then I do not see this as a sequel. However it is not the same story, KotOR was Revan's story in the backdrop of Malak's war, that story ended and those characters' point of view is not the focus of this game. It is the same setting and timeline as the original (Few years after) and it includes cameos and other characters from the original in larger roles. As I understand the definition of a sequel, it is continuing the story established that was established previously.Ĭome to think of it I think KotOR 2 fits best for me as a spin-off. In a way I see KotOR 2 as a story of its own.
