This is due to the fact that Knights of the Old Republic takes place thousands of years before Anakin Skywalker was a twinkle in any midichlorian's eye. Still, even if Knights of the Old Republic is inspired by what came before it, the game still charges its own path. It's, "Aren't you a little short for a Stormtrooper" all over again. One of the first missions even involves rescuing Bastila, only for Bastila to completely take over her own salvation. Bastila Shan, the female lead of the game (assuming the player doesn't choose a female character), has the same haughty with a heart-of-gold attitude as Princess Leia. A few of original characters do have shades of famous people in the Star Wars canon. It's not as if the game created the Jedi, the Force and lightsabers. Knights of the Old Republic obviously owes a debt of gratitude to the Star Wars movies.

(There's a tiny reference to the Organa family on Alderaan and that's it.) There was no using Luke, Leia, or Darth Vader to prop up the story and create fan interest. It ignored all mention of the Skywalker family and its generation spanning stories.
Knights of the Old Republic was one of the first Star Wars stories of its kind. Yet, there was no connection to the prequel trilogy or the original triloy, besides the Jedi, Sith, and a battle of good versus evil were all involved. The game came from then relatively obscure game studio, BioWare.
The game was developed and released on the original Xbox while the prequel trilogy was in theaters, between Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith. Knights of the Old Republic, often abbreviated as KOTOR, came out an interesting time in Star Wars history. The Star Wars franchise isn't churning out as many games as movies nowadays, but that could just be because perfection has already been reached with 2003's Knights of the Old Republic.
