Sith Assassin should not pilot Sith Fighter

If the comments from Carrie about Sith Assassin piloting the new Sith Fighter are true, it is a major continuity fail. Sith Assassins made their first appearance in KOTOR 2 and had nothing to do with Darth Malak or the ships his forces flew at Rakata Prime. They were tied to the Triumvirate from KOTOR 2 which never had access to the Foundry. Plus, the model for the Sith Assassin isn’t even from KOTOR 2. It’s from The Old Republic MMO, which is set 300 years AFTER the events of the KOTOR games. Maybe I’m missing something and the SA will be piloting a different ship than the one mentioned in the starwars.com story. If not, this makes no sense.
  • I just want to see them follow continuity. Might as well have Ewoks running around with lightsabers.
  • Or, it’s just a ship from a certain time and a pilot from another. Mebbe the devs wanted to use these two together from playing the same games you did. It really is immaterial either which way. We have a new ship, with a f2p char for the pilot, Could have been a lot worse.

    Like seriously, you’re playing with your holographic character in a holographic ship, on a holographic table, in a make believe world...


    Follow continuity within the parameters you set for yourself. This isn’t hard. The entire concept of the game is that you are collecting characters from various eras within the Star Wars universe, combining them into various teams and battling with others on holotables. So, yeah, you can put five Hans together. You can have Rey fighting alongside long-dead Jedi. That is not a continuity problem because it follows the rules the game set for itself. Having a ship piloted by a character who didn’t exist until 300 years after that ship was used violates the continuity of the game and the Star Wars universe. I’ve made this point elsewhere, but imagine how annoyed people would be if they made First Order Stormtrooper the pilot for TIE Fighter. This is essentially no different. They are just banking on the fact that less people played KOTOR and Old Republic, so they think they can get away with being lazy about the continuity. But for someone like me who spent hundreds of hours with both of those games, it’s an insult to stories and characters we love.


    Well, As I said, I doubt they care much. Look at the Sith Raid.
    For their to be a "Sith Triumvirate" it must be in the time before KOTOR2 when they were all allied before they cast Traya out.

    However, in the fight in swgoh you see Traya missing a hand, which happens later in kotor2 cannon, AFTER they have split up. In game you fight nihilus alone on his ship.

    Not to mention the fact that they are mixing up the two games completely. Its like they just saw popular characters from either game and decided to add them, not really thinking about the star wars universe kotor game cannon or time periods.

    Honestly, I took one look at the ships we have and my first thought was "What a weird selection of star wars ships" :D 3 geos? Biggs, the guy who died early, is super tanky, whats a "bistan?"

    I am glad we at least have Vader's iconic ship, but where's Lukes or Han's actual falcon. I'd even take a Y-Wing or A-Wing, and hows the droid interceptor going to work with pilots, lol.

    Seeing the new Jedi Teams I wish I could Run 5 Sith Assasians on a team to ignore that 200% Protection........

    Vaders Iconic ship had about as much screen time in 9 movies as biggs did pretty close anyway
