Krynda and Haazen are the most obvious examples, because they literally lived through the war and their motivations are very characterized by it (Krynda refuses to train new jedi for a while, because she’s still dealing with her grief at losing her husband and all of her friends).

And you get the idea that without the effects of this still lingering, the Covenant wouldn’t fucking exist, or at least the main 5 jedi who are involved with it wouldn’t be. The purpose is to guard against the Sith, because everyone is still dealing with just how much they fucked things over last time.

On a similar note, the attitudes the council has (that the Jedi’s job is to guard against the rise of the sith) versus the much younger jedi, like Alek (he says something like “The Sith threat ended what? 30 years ago?” and makes it clear that seemed like forever ago to him). You get a very clear generational gap with who characters perceive events (which maybe happens w/ Lucien and Krynda too?)

It’s just this made it feel all very much part of one larger story, because of the history in it, and not just isolated. It really got me thinking of Star Wars in terms of that when I was reading these comics as a teenager, and heavily influenced how I wanted my kotor canon to go down.
