Posts Tagged “Rumors”

For years we’ve heard rumors about a third installment in the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic series.  After a while, these rumors evolved into rumors of a KOTOR MMO.  Now it appears that there is starting to be some basis for these rumors.  I present the following as evidence.

On July 3, 2008, Star Wars: The Old Republic, Star Wars: Sagas, and Star Wars: Legends were all registered by LucasFilm Licensing with the United States Patent and Trademark Office.  Nothing too special in an of itself.  These could relate to just about anything out there: books, comics, etc.  But when combined with information that Portfolio.com is reporting, things get very intriguing.

N. Evan Van Zelfden in Los Angeles warns, watch out World of Warcraft. In an interview at E3 this week, Electronic Arts chief executive John Riccitiello said that EA is working on the next version of Star Wars game Knights of the Old Republic, and it will most certainly have a massively multiplayer online component to it.

New Red Dwarf episode from the BBC?  Could it be true?

The PBS station in Steattle, KCTS 9 hosted Robert Llewellyn (aka Kryten) for a 20th Anniversary Celebration of Red Dwarf on Sunday, August 24th.  To advertise the event Robert recorded a special promo seen here:

On this video he states that he has some special news about the future of the show and that he was saving it for his visit.

Fans watched the show and posted a report on the official Robert Llewellyn message boards.  Here is that link:

At KCTS Robert announced that BBC Worldwide has commisioned a 1 hour episode of Red Dwarf.  The script is in the final stages now and should be filming in October of 2008.  He wouldn’t provide any details on the plot.

So far my search has only turned up these two items.  As I come accross more information, I’ll post it here.
