KOTOR - TRIVIA

The game mentions various characters that have ties to the original trilogy and could be interpreted as ancestors, including Galduran Calrissian (Lando Calrissian), a Wookiee legend about a wookiee named Bacca (Chewbacca), Cassus Fett (Jango & Boba Fett), Komad Fortuna (Bib Fortuna), Admiral Forn Dodonna (General Jan Dodonna), and the Organa family of Alderaan (Bail and Leia Organa).

When the player tries to enter a new area with party members, and they are not near the player character, a line appears reading "You must gather your party before venturing forth". This line appeared in the other games that used Bioware's Infinity Engine, such as Baldur's Gate (Planescape: Torment being the only exception), whenever the player tried to leave an area without the rest of the party . In the Baldur's Gate series of games this line was spoken by voice actor Kevin Michael Richardson, who also plays Jedi Jolee Bindo in Knights of the Old Republic.

When sleeping at the Hidden Beks hideout before the swoop race, a line appears reading "you spent a restless night at the..." which is a line that would appear in Baldur's Gate when spending a night without comfort.

The name Bendak Starkiller is a homage to the name originally chosen for Luke Skywalker in Star Wars. It is also a reference to the first ace in Wing Commander, named Bhurak Starkiller.

Bastila Shan's character was originally named Vima Sunrider, a Jedi from Dark Horse Comics' Tales of the Jedi series. The name Bastila was originally meant for the Cathar Jedi character. Eventually, it was decided to create a different character rather than use Sunrider and the Cathar Jedi would be named Juhani.

Certain lines and events through out the game also pay homage to the original films:

• The Starlight dancer interviewer will say, "Good, good. Feel the music. Let it flow through you", a tribute to a famous Star Wars line.
• Mission Vao says, "I have a bad feeling about this" several times, referring to a line spoken repeatedly in the films.
• "My name's [your character's name], I'm here to rescue you", is a homage to the line Luke Skywalker delivers when rescuing Princess Leia.
• Carth Onasi shouts "NOOOOOO!!!", a line that has been used in all six Star Wars films.
• When the player is being tortured on the Leviathan and pressed to reveal the location of the Jedi base on Dantooine, a possible response is "Alderaan, they're on Alderaan", the opposite of when, in Episode IV: A New Hope, Princess Leia lies that the Rebel Alliance base is on Dantooine to avoid Alderaan's destruction, saying, "Dantooine, they're on Dantooine".
• Carth Onasi echoes Han Solo's line in Episode IV: A New Hope: "We're caught in their tractor beam".
• The lightside end-game cinematic, when the entire crew of the Ebon Hawk is rewarded the Cross of Glory, references the award ceremony at the end of Episode IV, complete with an astromech droid is scene shaking and beeping happily, (T3-M4 and R2-D2, respectively) and a wookiee's growl as the last line in the scene. (Zaalbar and Chewbacca.)

The game contains a number of references to Star Trek:

• The quest "The Trouble with Gizka" is likely a reference to the Star Trek episode entitled "The Trouble with Tribbles".
• o HK-47's line "Expletive: Dammit, master, I'm an assassination droid, not a dictionary!" is similar to Dr. McCoy's frequent catch-phrase from the series.
• The number 47 itself is a long-running in-joke with Star Trek writers since Star Trek: The Next Generation.
• The actor Ethan Phillips, who provides several minor voices in the game, plays Neelix in Star Trek: Voyager.

At one point in the game, Canderous Ordo tells of a ship he once chased until it crossed the boundaries of the galaxy; he says that the ship looked like an asteroid and spat fireballs. This sounds very much like a Yuuzhan Vong vessel from The New Jedi Order.

The HK-47 assault droid is a direct reference to Bioware's first game, Shattered Steel, where the player's transport ship is named HK-47.

HK-47's references to organic characters as "Meatbags" is rumored to be an homage to the character Bender from Futurama.

The LucasArts game that eventually became Star Wars: Obi-Wan was initially going to be called "Knights of the Republic". The title was rejected as too generic.

If the Player Character decides to follow the path to the Dark Side, their face and skin will gradually become deformed as they progress. Eventually their eyes will turn a pale yellow as well. This predates the release of Revenge of the Sith, and was in reference to a theory, first expounded in Dark Empire that Palpatine's decrepit appearance was not entirely natural, but was due to his body being worn out by the Dark Side of the Force.

In character creation, using the random name generator can yield interesting results. Sometimes the last name will come up as Suul, Organa, Homsar, and Kerreck.

If the player chooses to, Zaalbar can be left on Kashyykk and you can get the map for the Tatooine desert without meeting HK-47. Also, the player can kill Juhani.

If the above is done and the main character decides to join Bastila on the dark side, she will say, at some point, something somewhat like this, "The droids will follow you, my master." despite the fact that there is only one droid.

Jolee appears to recognize Bastila during the fight at the Temple Summit even if you go to Kashyyyk after the Leviathan missions.

If the player is lightsided, when they fight Bastila Shan on the Star Forge they have the option of killing her. Though at the ceremony on Rakata Prime, when the Republic awards the party, Bastila Shan is still there even though you killed her. (If the player is darksided Bastila joins your party) (This has been fixed by the patch)
