Wookieepedia:WookieeProject Knights of the Old Republic

The premise of WookieeProject Knights of the Old Republic is coordinating the efforts of Wookieepedians maintaining articles related to the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (KOTOR) metaseries, which includes two video games and an ongoing comic series.

Discussion area
For advanced users a special IRC channel has been set up for this project  irc.freenode.net #WP:KOTOR irc://irc.freenode.net/WP:KOTOR For others:

Ancestry and other familial speculation
It is likely that character articles about those whose last names are seen in other Star Wars storylines (e.g., Bastila Shan and Deena Shan) are going to be plagued by speculation saying that "so and so is possibly an ancestor of such and such". These are to be deleted on sight unless sources are provided that explicitly state otherwise. Do what must be done, Show no mercy.

Dialog.tlk files
In game engines derived from BioWare's Infinity and Aurora engines (including KOTOR and TSL's Odyssey engine), all strings used in the game are stored in a file named dialog.tlk in the root game directory, uncompressed and unencrypted. These files can be used to search for exact quotes and/or correct them.

There is no way to identify the source of a particular quote based on dialog.tlk alone. You will still need the game for that.

If you don't have the games, or have non-English versions, dialog.tlk files from both games can be downloaded from here (tar.gz, 3.1 MB).

Opening
Dialog.tlk files are technically binary files, but as they contain unmodified text, they can be opened in any text editor. Windows Notepad has issues with opening large files, so you can use another editor, such as Notepad++, instead. The file begins with binary data, and then the text follows. You can search for the text you need.

Alternatively, you can use TalkEd (rar, 223 KB), a dialog.tlk editor. It was developed for Windows, but works fine in Wine.

Another is the FindRefs program which can be used to search all dialog quickly by including TLK references when using. Not all lines in the dialog.tlk file will show up when specific words are searched but all dialog that is accessible in-game are.

Fanon watch
Many KOTOR articles are prone to fanon. It especially concerns Darths (such as Revan, Darth Malak, or Kreia), the Jedi Exile, and, to a lesser extent, the Jedi Masters. Here are some things you should keep in mind.

NEC
This is all the NEC has to say about KOTOR. If someone makes a dubious claim and cites the NEC and it's not there, remove it.

NEGD
T3, HK and G0-T0 have NEGD pages. It is there that the Exile is confirmed to be female.

Lightsaber forms
Nothing is said about lightsaber forms in the first game or the comics. It is unknown who used which form.

In TSL, the only differences between forms are in gameplay mechanics, not aesthetics. It is impossible to distinguish forms any of the characters used based on the visuals; the engine always uses the same animations.

The Exile always learns the forms in the order they're canonically numbered: Shii-Cho, Makashi, Soresu, Ataru, Shien, Juyo/Niman*. The first three forms are learned as the player levels up, regardless of the class. The other four are not available to Consulars, and are taught by the three Jedi Masters always in the same order, regardless of the order the Masters are visited, so any form can be taught by any Master.

(*) The final form depends on the player's class: Sentinels learn Niman, while Guardians learn Juyo.

Vaapad does not exist at this point. Any references to Vaapad in DB:POD are erroneous, and Drew Karpyshyn has said that readers should pretend it says Juyo.

Double identity or suspected identity theories
Should be always treated as speculation and constrained to BTS at best, unless explicitly confirmed by JJM or another official.

TSL cut content
Refer to, or ask the question on the Team Gizka forums. Keep in mind that TSL has a lot of obscure content that is sometimes mistakenly believed to be cut, but is actually canon (or ambiguous canon, such as Atton's Easter egg lines).
