There is even a petition circulating to create a Netflix series.

In ‘Knights of the Eternal Throne’, players will take on the role of the Outlander, a veteran in the Great Galactic War, and lead the Alliance. The mission? Take down two the of the most powerful villains in the galaxy, Empress Vaylin, and Emperor Valkorion in the ultimate battle to gain control the Eternal Throne.  Choices will play a major role in the gameplay experience, as players will have to fight to influence the galaxy for either the light or dark side of the Force, and the decision of who lives and dies is left in your hands.

There are several new additions to ‘Knights of the Eternal Throne’, one being the modes of difficulty. There are three, which include Story, Master, or Veteran mode.
