A stunning artwork honors the protagonists and antagonists of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic.
Lucasfilm revealed its official Star Wars timeline at Star Wars Celebration 2023, featuring projects across all eras. However, one era was left out: the Old Republic.
This slot is likely reserved for the upcoming Knights of the Old Republic remake. The original game, which won several awards, is regarded as a masterpiece, and gamers are eager to see the outcome of this remake.
Jake Bartok, a freelance illustrator, and a former Lucasfilm artist, has created a remarkable artwork that celebrates the Jedi and Sith characters of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic.

Finished this big piece featuring KOTOR, KOTOR II AND SWTOR! It was fun to work on a bunch of characters I haven’t really drawn before. pic.twitter.com/92RRpYYNGD
The impressive artwork depicts many of the most notable protagonists and antagonists of this era, while the overall style resembles a tribute to classic Expanded Universe novel covers. It’s an indication of KotOR’s enduring popularity.
Although the original KotOR games are not part of the official canon, many of the characters have already been mentioned in Disney’s lore. This has raised some conjecture that the basic KotOR elements could still be regarded as canonical, a thrilling possibility with huge ramifications for the timeline.
It’s certainly evident that Disney keeps using KotOR as a source of inspiration, meaning this classic game still influences the Star Wars franchise today.
Bartok’s splendid artwork illustrates the iconic status of the Jedi and Sith characters of KotOR. The image is bound to please gamers with nostalgic memories of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, while it also suggests future potential given the remake that’s under development. Hopefully, more information about this upcoming remake will be disclosed soon.
