Back in 2019, Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy confirmed that they are "developing something to look at" based on the classic Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic video game. Updates have been few and far between since, but we may finally have a little more to go on.

According to insider @MyTimeToShineHello, the recent rumor that a trilogy of movies was in development was bogus, but she claims that a KOTOR project  of some description was in the works before the strikes got underway, and will return to "active development" once things are resolved.

We're not sure if it'll be a movie or Disney+ TV series, but last we heard, Laeta Kalogridis (Avatar, Shutter Island) was working on a script.

Set almost 4000 years before the formation of the Galactic Empire, Knights of the Old Republic started out as a LucasArts game released in 2003, but there's since been a plethora of spin-off novels and comic books. Star Wars fans have been clamouring for a live-action adaptation for years.

This is just a rumor for now, but be sure to stay tuned for more once the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes (hopefully) come to an end.
