Daniel Erickson made an appearance on the forums to discuss a question that is often asked:
Will I be lost if I never played KOTOR?.
You absolutely will not have had to play KOTOR to understand The Old Republic. Even for fans of the series the last KOTOR game was years ago so it would be silly for us to expect people to have an encyclopedic knowledge at their fingertips. We want both the most casual fans of just the Star Wars movies and harcore fans of the entire extended universe to be comfortable in The Old Republic. If you have to possess a knowledge of extensive backstory in order to follow a story we've failed in our job as writers. That said, there will be plenty of interesting things to discover for both fans of the KOTOR series and the extended universe as a whole.
Great news indeed.
