If the latest rumor doing the rounds is to be believed, Lucasfilm may be currently working on a live-action Star Wars: Knight of the Old Republic movie, and it would be written by Laeta Kalogridis — who has written screenplays for Alita: Battle Angel and Shutter Island, as well as executive producer for James Cameron's Avatar.
The report comes from Buzzfeed News, who claim to have heard from "three sources close to the project" confirm that Kalogridis is about to finish writing the first script for a Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic trilogy.
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic is a role-playing game developed by BioWare and published by LucasArts, which released for the Xbox and Microsoft Windows in 2003; eventually being ported to Mac OS X, iOS, and Android.
The game's story takes place 4000 years before the events of the original trilogy, which makes for a perfect setting for a brand-new Star Wars movie, as the Skywalker saga is just about to come to an end and telling a new, and refreshing story is just what the franchise might need right now.
Again, this is only but a rumor, so take this news with a pinch of salt — as neither Disney nor Lucasfilm have denied or confirmed this alleged information by those three sources close to the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic live-action movie project.
