There’s a gazillion possible stories and characters, who the fuck cares about the odd potential cameo that may or may not even happen? People want to immerse themselves into the world more by playing their own characters instead of some potentially unlikable goon. Like, there’s been so many SW games with pre made characters. How many of them even showed up ever again somewhere else, and at what significance? Why trade this brief possibility for several hours of actual immersion and fun?
It would be interesting to do it the Kotor way. In that game you could customise your character but there was also a canon version of the character which followed the light side ending and had specific clothing.
I thought i remembered that the writers considered revan to be female canonically too. In Kotor 2, in an early scene, atton refers to revan as “she” or “her” so potentially they intended that to be the case.
But in individual games it made no difference because you could customise.
Like when i read Harry Potter, i took the descriptions of the characters and they looked a certain way in my head, until the films came out and solidified how they all look to me. I think everyone did this. It didnt matter to me that they looked different in the films to how i imagined. It was just the “official” versions of them.

Oops. I’m sorry. You’re right. Game should totally have allowed people to make their own characters. It was wrong of me to enjoy things you don’t.
I see you only have reactionary kneejerk comments to offer. Have a nice day.
