Star Wars Fan Has An Idea For Bringing Kyle Katarn Into Canon
17.03.2024 - 19:27 / gamerant.com / Kyle Katarn / Dan Conlin
OneStar Wars fan thinks they know a great way to bring popular Legends character Kyle Katarn into the franchise's new canon. But how well would it work? Would his character need to change entirely just to fit in now?
Even after all this time, Kyle Katarn remains a pretty beloved element of the Star Wars universe. Not too shabby considering he's been non-canon for years now. Having previously starred in the iconic Dark Forces and Jedi Knight series of video games, it's no wonder why fans want the gruff-voiced former Jedi back in the fold. But ever since the great Star Wars canon reset, it's been tough to find space for him to make his comeback. That is, at least, possibly until now.
User bromeme — in the Star Wars Cantina subreddit introduced their idea for how Kyle could conceivably enter the new series canon without requiring any of those pesky retcons. Their idea seems to focus primarily on Kyle's Jedi side rather than his adventures as a mercenary with his partner Jan Ors or even his former life as an Imperial officer. In this proposed addition, he would still be working for the Rebellion but ultimately go off on his own once the New Republic is formed. During that time, he'd train with Luke Skywalker for a brief period before returning to his own life, occasionally helping out at Luke's academy. Then he'd come back to aid in the Resistance's fight against the First Order, just like every other notable figure in Star Wars history.
It's an interesting idea and even brings back plenty of concepts from Kyle's now non-canon past. This includes helping out at the academy, which would be a satisfying nod to his role in the Jedi Knight III: Jedi Academy video game. But other fans had different ideas for how they think he would better fit in the new canon. For one, many pointed out that Kyle's original story was now largely covered by other characters in Andor and Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, as Kyle originally took part in stealing the Death Star plans that ultimately led to the station's destruction. Despite that large chunk of his story now unsalvageable, there's still room for a bit of finessing.
«I would love to see Katarn return, unfortunately much of his story has been claimed by Andor, but it would be cool to see him in some capacity.»
«We already got Kyle Katarn's story in the form of Rogue One, and the Sequel Trilogy. He'd be completely redundant at this point because his roles and important actions in legends have already been filled in Canon»
«Exactly. The only way to bring him back and have him be anything like the man we knew, at this point, would be to change the time he lives in — post-Sequel, or back into the Old or High Republic. Then they can do the whole poetic rhyming thing, harkening back

We Need Another Star Wars Battlefront Reboot
Two decades on from its original launch, Star Wars Battlefront is suffering a disaster of a re-release. Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection, a compilation featuring the first two games in the series, is a messier than a Jawa that swallowed a thermal detonator thanks to server problems, bugs, and more. What was at first a highly-anticipated re-release has become the target of overwhelmingly negative reviews on Steam.
