Unfortunately after empire at war most non-jedi star wars games actually sucked... think of the Piece of poodoo named Lethal Alliance with that gimpy yellow twi'lek girl (not to mention gross violation of canon).
Lets hope that Kotor Online is going better.
Sounds dumb, but frankly I don't care what contrived nonsense they use to set the stage for a (potentially) cool Star Wars games.
To me, Star Wars canon is a joke anyway, so it doesn't bother me as much (as it might have, say 10 years ago) that they'll probably take this silly plot and make at least a portion of it "CANON!!!!(tm)" in the larger scheme of things through some comics/novellas/etc.
Just remember, wookieepedia is like wikipedia, it's strictly fan written. That said, yeah, yeah.
