User blog:Drewton/Knights of the Old Republic: Revelation

August 24, 2009



Announcing a new project. Again. Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic: Revelation.

No, this doesn't mean that Episode I is cancelled. It doesn't mean that The Drewton Legacy or The Sith Lords Massive Improvement Mod are cancelled, either. This is actually going to be more like preparation for Episode I - a test, using all the same methods, including using actual actors' faces.

It started as just one scene - the revelation scene from the game - but then I kept expanding it. First, I expanded it so that it would span the aftermath of the battle on the  bridge to the revelation, as well as a prologue on. Then I kept adding more from the game. By now, I have a prologue on Dantooine, segments of what happened on, , and through a report to the Jedi Council made by the player, and the entire  level including the escape. It's also become the first part of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic: The Revan Duology.

I've chosen the main actors: Zachary Quinto for the player (who doesn't have a spoken name in this), Nathan Fillion for, possibly Eva Green for , Adam Baldwin for , and Avery Brooks for. The voiceovers, of course, will still be those from the game.

Sets will be done in a variety of ways: animated, based on the game with new textures, dioramas, and printed-out backgrounds. In the Tatooine scenes I have used printed-out and photoshopped-in backgrounds but also real sand.

Unlike any other Knights of the Old Republic film, this will have completely new visuals. I'm expecting it to be done in October or November, with a teaser trailer possibly in September. It may have a live debut with webchat on something like LiveStream, and afterwards will be uploaded on YouTube in HD.

Hopefully it will be enjoyable and bring some nostalgia for a great time in Star Wars.
