When Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order was released, it was an immediate hit, surpassing expectations commercially, and becoming fairly beloved in the Star Wars fandom very quickly. As soon as the game came out and people were playing it, working through the story, and becoming more accustomed to it, conversations arose about if it was the best Star Wars game of all time.

Of course, the king of that claim for years now has been Knights Of The Old Republic. The two are very different games, and there are definitely pros for each that they have over the other.

10 Fallen Order: Canon

Whether or not a piece of content is or is not canon does not exactly take away from its quality. However, if a piece of content is not canon, it pretty much means it does not matter; it is not real, and it has no bearing on the franchise.

Of course, some fans see Legends as the “real” timeline, but it is not; if anything, it is an alternate one. Jedi: Fallen Order’s status as a canon game means it ties into the events of the Galaxy, and matters.

9 KOTOR: The Depth

KOTOR is a game that takes a bit of time to complete and even longer to understand and master. The depth of not just the game itself, but the mechanics behind it is fantastic to most players.

The attributes, skills, and powers are stuff that can be initially confusing, the runtime of the game to do all the side quests can be daunting, but all of it is worth it, and the depth becomes one of its best features, much better than Fallen Order.

8 Fallen Order: Less Challenging

This is not to say that Jedi: Fallen Order is not and can not be difficult because it very well can (we’re looking at you Oggdo Bogdo).

However, playing the game is much easier to go through and play through, and get to know. It is much easier to master, and because of the added depth to KOTOR, Fallen Order can be more relaxing.

7 KOTOR: That Revelation

If you have not played KOTOR, the twist will be spoiled here, so consider this your spoiler warning.

One of the best moments and greatest things about KOTOR is when Darth Malak reveals to you, the player, that you are, in fact, Revan.

The entire game hypes Revan up, as well as makes you a mysterious character, and so when this twist comes, it makes complete sense and leads to fantastic content in the game dealing with that revelation.

6 Fallen Order: Vader

As much as some fans would like to complain about the Disney era of Star Wars, one thing they continue to nail consistently is Darth Vader.

Through Rebels, The Clone Wars, the comics, the books, Rogue One, and then Jedi: Fallen Order, Vader is incredible, and his appearance in the game was very welcome, albeit surprising, to many.

5 KOTOR: The Sith & Jedi Lore

Jedi: Fallen Order does a great job in expanding on the lore to the established era, which takes place in terms of more points of view of Order 66, the Nightsisters, and the state of the Galaxy.

The lore in KOTOR is pretty fantastic, especially in terms of the Jedi and Sith. It dives into their history, practices, and ideologies, as well as the training, the meaning of lightsabers, and more.

4 Fallen Order: The Graphics

There is no contest between these two games when it comes to graphics. It is one of only two massive drawbacks of KOTOR, and one of the main reasons fans would like it remade.

Fallen Order is beautiful. From the characters to the creatures to the planets to everything in between, the graphics are simply amazing.

3 KOTOR: The Characters

Once again, the characters in Fallen Order are great, Cal, Cere, BD-1, Trilla, Merrin, etc. However, there is not enough of them, nor enough to them yet.

Whether it be Carth, Bastila Shan, HK-47, or any other of a load of characters, KOTOR is packed with great ones. With future games, the Fallen Order characters will get a lot better, and likely will surpass KOTOR, but not yet.

2 Fallen Order: The Combat

If there is one thing that puts people off KOTOR more often than not outside of the graphics, it is the combat; it definitely is not for everyone.

On the other hand, the combat in Jedi: Fallen Order is for everyone. It is great, smooth, relies on defense, is challenging but doable, and just fantastic overall.

1 KOTOR: The Story

The Jedi: Fallen Order story looks like it is just beginning with the announcement that it is going to be a part of a full franchise, which has fans very excited.

However, as it stands, the story does not compare to KOTOR. The main story, with the twist and side quests accompanying it, as well as the lore and character development, is all phenomenal, and worth the time and investment for any Star Wars fan even if it is not canon.
