Now I know what you are thinking. It's KOTOR WOOOOOOOOOO! Except in the post show interview with one of the devs they mention this starting at 13:06:

What is this? Is my spider sense tingling?
As it turns out, Sam Maggs has allegedly been hired to re write the KOTOR story. If you don't know who that is, don't feel bad. Nobody really does.
TLDR:
If you want more information on how lovely of a human being Maggs is you can read the Twitter thread here.
So what do you think? Are you excited for the future of nu KOTOR? Or at this point you are like me and want to watch a trash fire burn?
Bonus Rounds:
- Predictably enough, legit Star Wars writers from Lucas Film are fanning the flames because of course they do.
- For those who are old and remember the ever immortal and never ending GamerGate, yes it is the same Sam Maggs who alleged you can lock characters in GTAV and then rape them.
