Perhaps you didn't. I am merely speculating here, but there are many different ways you could aquire it aside from stealing. For example, you might be stuck on a planet somewhere and running from certain people, and you meet someone who just happens to own the Hawk, and you escape with them (similar to what happened in KotOR without the stealing really!).

As for Korriban being revisisted, yes it is back, its on the official site. Looks a bit less lively though. Not that it was the most rockin place in the galaxy anyway :p

IMHO Korriban was the best planet in the first game. I'd love to go back and can't wait to see how the planet plays out.

As for the Ebon Hawk, I bet that there's going to be a Han/Lando story between the PC and Carth's son Dustil (look at some of the screen shots). A debt owed could get you the Hawk on Telos...Hmmm...

Hmm thats probably right. Only problem I see is how Carth's son gets the Hawk if you didn't do his quest, or if you ended it with them not talking.

I liked what was there of Korriban, but I thought the areas before the Academy were a big let-down. Considering this is the Sith's "central planet", there was not a lot there. A canteen, a shop, and a landing bay. I preferred Dantooine and Kashyyyk to be honest, and the Unknown World.

Korriban - revisited?

It wasn't the Sith's "central planet," though; it was just the one planet in the entire game that was under full Sith control (not counting Taris because of the undercity, which belonged to the swoop gangs, or Kashyyyk, which was mostly property of Czerka). Korriban was home to a Sith Academy and some archaeological sites.

Didn't realise that! Kind of got the impression it was much more important than that in game, but even with that I would still say there should have been a lot more to the other areas of the planet.

In fact it could be said for many of the planets. I think only Manaan really had plenty of harmless areas. And even then it was a bit sparse, and you got the feeling people were just sending you from one side to the other, and it lacked much in the way of good combat areas. Plus it was full of Selkath :D

According to Game Informer magazine, the first thing you see in the game is the Ebon Hawk landing and T3-M4 making repairs to the heavily damaged Ebon Hawk. Could Carth have been killed in action, along with the rest of the party from KOTOR 1? Dunno, guess we'll find out.
