KotOR - Mandalorian Wars Canon Again

@GameRant they discuss a recent episode of Star Wars: Rebels which has opened the door for Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic to be canon again.

While that decision has done little to hurt the developer's relationship with Lucasfilm and Disney - the team at BioWare wants to make another Knights of the Old Republic, after all - it has left fans of the games a little sour. Luckily for devotees of Revan and the Mandalorian Wars everywhere, however, the latest episode of Star Wars Rebels just kicked open the door for the entirety of Knights of the Old Republic‘s history to be re-added to the Star Wars universe. Jedi Knight Kanan Jarrus says this to another character:

"History lesson: the Jedi won the war with Mandalore."

It might not seem like much to go on, but Jarrus' remark is actually a huge deal for fans of Knights of the Old Republic. It's a nod toward the conflict that much of Knights of the Old Republic‘s story revolves around, and, given Revan's presence in the Mandalorian Wars, is an acknowledgement of his existence within canon as well. Disney certainly hasn't confirmed that Revan will be a major presence in any multimedia projects going forward, but it's the flicker of hope that fans have been waiting for for years.

The quote is also a sign that Disney could be reconsidering its stance on the various Expanded Universe projects as canon. It's possible that the multimedia giant noticed the passion Star Wars fans had for BioWare and Obsidian's RPGs, most recently brought back into the spotlight by a massive fan under-taking to remaster Knights of the Old Republic. That kind of dedication from gamers can be hard to ignore, even for a company as all-encompassing as Disney.
