Major quote from it:
Don't know if this is 100% the right thread for this but I saw it today and found it interesting. Especially since KOTOR came out in 2003 and the last game in the series (SWOTOR) was 2011. Also, seems strange to do a movie on this since in April 2014, Lucasfilm re-branded the Expanded Universe material as Star Wars Legends and declared it non-canonical to the franchise. It was confirmed that this also applied to KOTOR in 2015.
From that article:
So could this make KOTOR canon again? Or are they just doing a nod to a beloved game in the non-canon areas of the franchise because they think it could make money?

At Star Wars Celebration in April, Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy told MTV News, "Yes, we are developing something to look at," after being asked about KOTOR. "Right now, I have no idea where things might fall."

From that article:
The enlightenment took place at the "One Big Story" panel focusing on the Star Wars universe, where one attendee asked the panel a simple question: "Are the Old Republic expansions canon?"
Creative executive Pablo Hidalgo fielded the question with a response that made every KOTOR fan's hear sink into his or her chest: "No. BioWare has created their own universe that is so fantastic, we're not going to change it."
