* DoingItForTheArt: In order to prepare for writing the game, Creator/ChrisAvellone went on a ''major'' ArchiveBinge of the Franchise/StarWars [[Franchise/StarWarsExpandedUniverse Expanded Universe]], rewatching ''every'' Star Wars movie, reading nearly ''every'' Expanded Universe book (!), and even enduring the ''Film/TheStarWarsHolidaySpecial'' (!!) for the sake of fully understanding the universe he was writing. As a result, there are [[ShownTheirWork an impressive amount of nods]] to the ''Star Wars'' canon -- down to the most minute details -- as well as entire plot threads woven from throw-away background material from the first game. It also tears the basic mythological and ethical system of the setting into pieces, [[DeconstructorFleet but that's par for the course with him.]]

* DoingItForTheArt: Creator/ChrisAvellone, lead designer of ''Knights of the Old Republic II'', claims to have sat through ''every'' Star Wars movie, read ''every'' Expanded Universe book (!), and even endured the ''Film/TheStarWarsHolidaySpecial'' (!!) for the sake of fully understanding the universe he was writing. As a result, there are [[ShownTheirWork an awful lot of nods]] to the rest of the ''Star Wars'' canon, as well as entire plot threads woven from throw-away background material from the first game. It also tears the basic mythological and ethical system of the setting into pieces, so apparently he was not totally impressed.

* CowboyBebopAtHisComputer: An article about the game in a Spanish magazine showed an image of Darth Nihilus labeled as "Darth Revan", which caused plenty of confusion. Sumed to the fact that Nihilus appears multiple times in the game without being called by his name and Revan gets mentioned a lot without physically appear (until Korriban), many players in Spain who had not played the first game reached the battle of Telos without fully understanding the background and genuinely believing they were going to face Revan.

* BTeamSequel: Created by Obsidian rather than the creators of the first game, Bioware.

* GodNeverSaidThat: Some of the game's detractors often claim that Creator/ChrisAvellone [[HateFic openly despises Star Wars]] and [[FanHater its fans]]. The most that he's said to that effect is that he hates the way that the series tends to justify [[YouCantFightFate unavoidable tragedies]] by saying that they're [[OmniscientMoralityLicense "the will of the force"]] -- beyond that, he's [[http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-07-31-fear-is-the-path-to-the-dark-side gone as far as to say]] that he ''loves'' Star Wars, and has admitted that the final product was far more [[{{Anvilicious}} bitter and heavy-handed]] than he intended it to be.

* GodNeverSaidThat: Some of the game's detractors claim that Creator/ChrisAvellone has specifically stated that he wrote the game as an [[HateFic angry tirade against Star Wars]] and [[FanHater its fans]]. Not only has he ''never'' said that, but he's [[http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-07-31-fear-is-the-path-to-the-dark-side repeatedly stated]] that his ArchiveBinge before writing the game "made [him] love Star Wars again," and has admitted that the final product was far more [[{{Anvilicious}} bitter and heavy-handed]] than he intended it to be.

* GodNeverSaidThat: Combined somewhat with a FlipFlopOfGod. Creator/ChrisAvellone made it clear that [[AuthorAvatar Kreia]] was designed to voice his disdain for some aspects of the ''Star Wars'' universe, and many take this as proof that he is a FanHater who wrote the game as a HateFic. However, he has also repeatedly stressed that the game and its story were a labor of love towards the series - most notably in [[http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-07-31-fear-is-the-path-to-the-dark-side this 2013 EuroGamer interview]], where he states that ''[[VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublic KotOR I]]'' "made [him] love Star Wars again" - and has admitted that the end result was far more bitter-sounding than he intended it to be.
