With the whole "Great Scourge of Malachor"-thing going on in The Force Awakens, Hammerhead-class cruisers appearing in Star Wars: Rebels and Ahsoka dropping the line "There's always a bit of truth in legends..." I wouldn't be surprised if Revan and some parts of KOTOR are simply re-introduced into the canon.

Star Wars needs some cryptic lore, some powerful words you can just throw around. Great Scourge of Malachorr, Starforge, Great Hyperspace War etc.

And if Disney wants to make money of that, just sell some old novels and comics again. Kids won’t know the difference and EU-fans would feel a bit appreciated. It’s largely irrelevant to your new movies anyways, it plays in such a distant past that you have enough room to do whatever you want. Disney only really had problems with the EU which surrounded the original movies and their aftermath, so they wanted that gone for obvious reasons.

I feel like we’ll slowly see past fiction reinstated into the canon. Revan, or Darth Bane for example… you can have those in your canon without any problem.

But yes, it is nice that we’re gonna get that figure. I loved playing KOTOR back in the day so it’s a must have for me, even though I think Black series toys are a little overpriced still, at least around here.
