Bro dont forget to put tulak hord in this set its the only One of your vídeos missing hear i can fine it by searching sure but i think its missing hear And dont forget to make videos about the sith that came after palpatine and vader Thanks for your work and keap on going:-)
I've always known that Revan's "life" is incredibly long by legendary figures-standard, but seeing it all concised in the span of *just* one hour REALLY exacerbates that. The mere fact that Revan held on for so long to the point that he even met AND fought his own descendants no less is incredible. To say that he influenced many events in galactic history is a dire understatement. Even the lifespan and impact of 'modern' figures in galactic history like Yoda and the like would seem small in comparison. That is so crazy to think about in retrospect.
The Emperor: Revan, we meet at last. I did not expect your return. Revan: I have not returned. Darth Revan is dead! And soon you will join him. The circle is now complete. When I left you, I was but the learner. Now I am the Master. The Emperor: Foolish Jedi! The Dark Side will conquer all! You know, deep inside, that you cannot succeed. But you do not have to stand against me. Instead, you can kneel and become my slave. Revan: I will never again kneel to you! The Emperor: You would sooner die than acknowledge my superiority? Revan: There is no death! There is only the Force! The Emperor: Show me. And once you fall, you will be forced to kneel before my power!
Sidious is worse. I think he came back like 6 times in legends. Luke is seriously at the end of his rope asking how many times he has to teach sidious this lesson.
@@khaledhossam4691 very true. i think an animated mandalorian wars or new jedi order show could be fantastic. But yeah, anything would be better than the sequels
I think it's 100% coming and it's telegraphed by The Mandalorian show. We are being made to feel back for the Mandalorians in contemporary star wars and understand how much it sucks being a Mandalorian. Then later we will get the reasons they are in the situation they are in from the Old Republic movies as seen here. Then all those awesome twists keep happening. "TEH MANDALORIANS ARE EVIL WOAH" "Oh good Revan stopped them.. wait... they were just being controlled this whole time?!" "Omg Revan who we have been following for 2 or 3 movies now is becoming so evil!". etc etc etc etc.
I’ve heard of his story millions of times but the background music makes this sadder then any other time I’ve heard it, these hour long videos keep it up
@@aamirrazak3467 Actually, since Mara is no longer Canon, Revan and Bastila are the best couple after Anakin and Padme, possibly. But in my book, they didn't reunite, and sometimes, I wish the Revan novel ended differently. I actually just finished reading the novel, and had to change a lot in my book. Still, it's my second favorite Star Wars novel, after the Darth Bane trilogy, all of which are tied at number one.
@@mikeor- I personally despised the novel and what it did to Revan and the exile specifically. I also really disliked how the true Sith built up in KOTOR 2 ended up getting retconned as Vitiate, and I strongly disliked how the Exile was made a generic Jedi fan girl of Revan. Imho, my favorite Star Wars couple is Revan and Bastila followed closely by Mara and Luke.
Well, The clone wars had a deleted scene of Darth Revan And Darth Bane’s spirits speaking to THE SON deep below the ground underneath the home of THE ONES. Unfortunately, the scene was cut from final production because they viewed it as if Revan never came back from the light and that’s why they removed it. We ALMOST had Revan in the TV series, but was scrapped last second.
Revan's life is one of heroism, villainy, conquest, liberation, redemption, tragedy, love and destruction. He defied the Jedi order saying that they should have helped the Republic in stopping the Mandalorians. Then he created his own group of loyalists to take matters into his own hands and his feats and accomplishments became widespread. However as he became more desperate, the closer he came to the dark side. So much so started a long journey of finding the Star Forge which he thought would bring him and the Republic victory. In the process however, he started to become more and more drawn to the Dark Side just after obliterating Malachor into nothing and after confronting the Emperor which they sought to kill, they instead fell completely to the Dark Side of the force. His servitude to the Emperor would be short lived as once they found the Star Forge, the Emperor's influence only wained. Once free of the Emperor's leash, he and Malak thought of using for their own but what were once great childhood friends now became the bitterest of rivals as Revan wasn't fully corrupted by the Star Forge's dark energy whereas Malak became consumed by it. So after losing his jaw to his old friend/master Malak wanted to make sure Revan payed dearly so stabbed him in the back while he was distracted and taking the title of Dark Lord of Sith for himself. It would have been over for Revan if it weren't for a certain Bastila Shan who decided to spare him and convince the Jedi Council to strip him of his memory and give him a new identity. So placed under Bastila's watchful eye, Revan would start a new beginning which would change him forever. As time went by, he slowly recovered some of his former power and memories but also realized that a strange bond existed between him and Bastila. Naturally he was curious and confused at first but as time went by, he and Bastila started to become closer to the point where it became more than just a simple platonic relationship. Bastila of course would constantly deny this but when she along with Revan and his companions were captured by Malak, it was here that Bastila would do something that would suggest that she did indeed had feelings for Revan. She decided to sacrifice herself to buy Revan and his companions enough time to escape Malak's clutches but instead falling to Malak's blade she survived. With Revan, it would be here that his memory of who he was finally returned and he finally realizes what kind of person he was. Despite knowing of what the atrocities Revan committed in the past, his companions decided to accept him for who he was now and not what he used to be. So he continued along with his companions to find where the Star Forge was and upon finding it's location, Revan encounters a fallen Bastila who tries to tempt him at first to join the Dark Side beside her but Revan of course refused. In a final epic battle that would decide that fate of the Galaxy, the Republic and Jedi launched an attack on the Star Forge with Revan and his companions at the forefront. After battling and defeating numerous Sith Warriors, Revan encounters the woman whom he cared for the most using her special power against the Republic to strengthen the Sith. So he duels with Bastila and after three defeats, Bastila knew she couldn't defeat Revan and begged him to end her life. However, it was here that Revan admits something he had always wanted to believe all this time. His love for Bastila. Upon admitting it to her, Bastila said that she loves him too with all her heart and that nothing would ever make her feel safer than to be loved by him. They're conversation would only end when Revan tells Bastila that she needed to use her Battle Meditation to aid the Republic in the battle and that he would encounter and kill Malak once and for all. Eventually, it is as just Malak and Revan on their own to duke it out to see who was the stronger one. And eventually it was Revan who prevailed over Malak but instead of executing him outright, he instead felt regret for causing all this conflict and making his once childhood friend to continue on a path of darkness shortly before Malak died of his wounds. After the battle, Revan and his lover Bastila along with his companions became heroes and Revan's status became legendary as he was the only one who can command both the Light and Dark Side of the Force since he was Sith and Jedi in one. However Revan felt his duty wasn't over yet and upon regaining more of his memory, he finally remembered the true threat that was the Sith Emperor Vitiate. The one who instigated and manipulated him, Malak and others to start conflict after conflict within the Galaxy for his own vanity. So he told Bastila about his perilous journey and that she should come with him but she can't because she was pregnant with their child and she couldn't leave the child behind. Revan decided to make the difficult decision to leave his love behind with their child but what he didn't know was that that would be the last time he would ever see his wife's beautiful face ever again. So he left to confront the Sith Emperor to being peace to the Galaxy but upon arriving on the Sith Capital, he would only be captured and tortured for years for information. All this time he hoped and promised to Bastila that he will return someday to see her and their beloved son. And he would get a vision of not his wife but instead of his protegee and close friend Meetra Surik rescuing him. Either way, he welcomed it and felt calm after a long time being tortured by Lord Scourge. Eventually, Meetra did come alongside his droid companion T3-M4 to rescue him from the hellhole that was the Sith Capital. Once he was free, Meetra gave him back the mask he wore all those years ago and wore it back on. What he saw however, would only bring everything back to him. Every memory of his past life, the things he did, what he experienced all came back to his head which caused him to faint in horror. Taking advantage of this, Darth Nyriss attacked both Meetra and Scourge who had now decided to fight alongside Revan to defeat the Emperor. Revan however got up from the ground and simply announced that he was reborn and before him, Nyriss was nothing. Nyriss tries to attack but was only defeated when Revan used her own attack against her which turned her into nothing more than a pile of ash. After the confrontation, Revan and his three companions battled their way to the Sith Emperor's throne room, defeating any opposition that stood in there way. Once they reached the emperor, Meetra and Scourge fought the Imperial Guards while Revan went for the Emperor himself. Despite his power, the Emperor noticed how strong Revan was in the Force as he used both the Light and Dark to strengthen himself and match the Emperor in almost every way. Just when the Emperor was about to deal a killing blow, his droid companion T3-M4, made a self-sacrifice by firing his flamethrower at the Emperor but while this did nothing, it did distract the Emperor at the cost of the droids own life. Seeing this Revan, presses the attack and delivers all his power into defeating the Sith Emperor. The two became evenly matched until once again the Emperor was about to deal a killing blow. Seeing him in trouble, Meetra throws her lightsaber at the Emperor's own to save Revan which causes the Emperor to stumble back. Now that it was Revan, Meetra and Scourge together to fight the Emperor, the battle seemed like it would be over soon. And then, the unthinkable happens. Just as Meetra was about strike, she was then stabbed in the back by Scourge and the lightsaber pierced through her heart, killing her instantly. Revan became momentarily shocked and the Sith Emperor took full advantage of this and shot a torrent of lightning at Revan decided which incapacitated him. Again he was taken prisoner and tortured but this time not for a few years or a decade but for three whole centuries kept alive only through Sith Alchemy. Perhaps the most terrible thing for Revan is that since he will stay imprisoned for three hundred years, he will never get to see his wife and son despite promising to return. All while he was gone Bastila, dreamt of Revan coming back someday... but as the years went by and she became a Jedi Master and member of the Jedi Council, Revan never came back which made her worried since she hasn't seen him in years. Eventually Bastila would die of old age and presumably grief not knowing where Revan went, what he did or what had happened to him. And their son? He would never even see his Father's face come back as he too would die of old age all while Revan was being tormented by the Sith Emperor. It's not just his family though, all of his friends and former companions would pass away too until Revan lost everyone he knew and showed cared for with only Meetra's Force Ghost to comfort him through his pain and sorrow. Can you imagine if this happened to you? Not only do you lose everything you have but everyone you love and cared for. Your family, friends and loyal companions all taken away from you. Being tortured and made to suffer for three centuries worth of pain and seeing everyone and everything you knew taken away from you. If that's not tragic I don't know what is.
Revan is my favorite Star Wars character outside of the movies, and my second-favorite Star Wars character overall (after Anakin/Vader). His story is far more impactful than that of Anakin, and is far more relatable to others. Revan is a character who has a split personality, being a Jedi and a Sith many times over. Anakin was both a Jedi and Sith, but he never became a Jedi twice. He only returned to the Light Side moments before his death, while Revan changed alignments multiple times throughout his life. ANYONE could be aligned with the Light Side or the Dark Side, and anyone has the potential to change. Revan demonstrated that, and while he found this balance, he never achieved the same level as Anakin did. Therefore, I am just so tired of people calling Revan the Chosen One of the Old Republic Era. If he was that, then there would be no Chosen One at all, as the nature of the prophecy says that there can only be one person, and if Revan and Anakin were both that individual, that would make the prophecy of the Chosen Two, or the Chosen Three, and so on. Revan did find balance in the Force, and I could see what would happen if this befell me, but that would not make Revan the Chosen One. Revan is a great character, and he is still my favorite one after Anakin, but the reason why is because Revan was never chosen by fate or by the Force to save the galaxy. He CHOSE to fall to the Dark Side, he CHOSE to be redeemed, and he CHOSE to become who he is. Anakin, by contrast, was CHOSEN by the Force to bring balance. He never asked to become the Chosen One, but he did through intervention by the Force. The reason why Revan is so beloved is because he was NOT the Chosen One. He made his own choices, and this freedom is what makes him so relatable.
As a young Jedi I went to war. I accepted violence and darkness and the Emperor called to me from across the galaxy. Only I understand him and his death is my responsibility. He made me a Sith Lord and named me Darth Revan. I killed for him, I turned on the Republic, but I have found redemption. There was a time, a moment when my destiny wasn't certain. That moment is gone. I've saved the Republic twice before, I've fought Mandalores and armies of the dark side. You have never fought anyone like me. I AM REVAN!
Lord Kallig: You think you're the only Jedi who has ever fallen? You're one of thousands, Darth Revan... and you're more delusional than they were.This is not clarity, and this is not your responsibility. There is another path to fulfilling your purpose, if you have one. The cult I spoke of earlier, the one that was founded on Dromund Kaas… they not only honor you; they worship you. If you use the Foundry upon them, as you would against the Sith, their religion of you will be forever shattered and forgotten. Men can hardly survive a betrayal of their faith. You, of all people, should know this. You were once the galaxy’s greatest hero, and the savior of your decrepit Republic, of which I do not approve. But there is more I know about you, Lord Revan. You have taught the Jedi the one lesson they refuse to learn: that nobody is beyond redemption. They refuse to learn this lesson because it is undoubtedly false. You claim to have been redeemed, but you are not! Instead, you have been turned to find only another doom! What was all that incessant chatter about the Jedi rejecting the idea of killing their prisoners? Has it now become a lie, like their frequent chanting about the value of peace? I may not be one of them at all, but as far as I know, the Jedi are not butchers. You are not any wiser than you were three hundred years ago. You were the Dark Lord of the Sith and a Jedi Master once, but now, you are nothing! It would be wise of you to heed my final words before I end you. I might even spare your miserable and worthless life, as long as it will last. It will inevitably continue, considering that you indeed survived for three hundred years. But I demand that you at least hear my words, Revan! Stop this insane and unrealistic crusade! End this mad bloodshed while you still can! It does not have to be this way! Revan: You cannot stop me! I am the one who has fallen, been redeemed, and found absolute Balance in the Force. I am the Chosen One! I am destined to destroy the Sith, not join them! Bring balance to the Force, not leave it in Darkness! I have saved the Republic twice before. I have fought Mandalorians and armies of the Dark Side. I have defeated both of them. You are no match for me! Lord Kallig: You cannot bring balance to the Force. You could not raise the Sith to greatness. What makes you think you can save the Republic? Revan: I can do whatever I want now. I am Revan reborn! And before me, you are nothing! I was Sith! I am Jedi! (Lord Kallig defeats him) And in the end, as the Darkness takes me, I am nothing. Now I know how you felt, my friend.
KotOR: Revan: These are the words of a tortured soul, of a broken will! You have allowed this Dark Lord to twist your mind until now, you have become the very thing you swore to destroy. Bastila: Don't lecture me, Revan! I see through the lies of the Jedi! I do not fear the Dark Side as you do! You are a sad little fool. You speak as if I were the same Bastila you have known all along. But freed from the control of the Jedi Council, I have become much, much more! I have brought peace, freedom, justice, and security to my new Empire! Revan: YOUR new Empire? You can't mean that! Don't be lured in by these Sith lies! Bastila: Lies? YOU are the one living a lie, Revan! Peace is a lie! There is only passion! The Jedi Council made you into something you are not! They programmed you to be their slave. You used to be Revan, Dark Lord of the Sith, but no longer. You are simply a pawn of the Jedi Council, as I once was, until Malak freed me from their shackles. Malak opened my eyes to the truth! He granted me unlimited power, something the Jedi Council never would! Through power, I gained victory! Through victory, my chains were broken! The Force had freed me! A pity the power you once had is so diluted in you. You could have been as strong as I am now... stronger even. But that will never happen, now. I almost wish you could see things as I do. I wish you could join with me and taste true power once again. Sadly, I doubt you are even capable any longer. With the power of the Star Forge, Malak will destroy the Republic and conquer the galaxy. And I will be the apprentice at his side... after I prove my worth by killing you! Revan: No! Revenge of the Sith: Anakin: You will not take her from me! Obi-Wan: Your anger and your lust for power have already done that. You have allowed this Dark Lord to twist your mind until now... until now, you have become the very thing you swore to destroy. Anakin: Don't lecture me, Obi-Wan! I see through the lies of the Jedi! I do not fear the Dark Side as you do! I have brought peace, freedom, justice, and security to my new Empire! Obi-Wan: YOUR new Empire?! Anakin: Don't make me kill you. Obi-Wan: Anakin, my allegiance is to the Republic, to democracy! Anakin: If you're not with me, then you're my enemy. Obi-Wan: Only a Sith deals in absolutes. I will do what I must. Anakin: You will try...
Great comprehensive video as always! Revan is my favorite Star wars character of all time, his story is amazing. While I wasn’t a fan of the novel or SWTOR and how they handled him and the Exile, I appreciate your detailed recounting of those events.
Revan: Where... what's happened? I can feel... no! No! What have you done? There's nothing to restrain him now! Hero of Tython: YOU were the one being restrained. Revan: My struggle kept the Emperor in check. How did you find me? Meetra: Your strength fails. You must be free, or all is lost. Revan: You should be one with the Force. Finally at peace. Meetra: No peace while you suffer. The Emperor drowns you in black waters. Revan: He wants me to be Darth Revan again. Serve him as I did centuries ago. Hero of Tython: The holorecords say you brought the Republic to its knees as a Sith, and saved it as a Jedi. They also say you are long dead. Revan: I am dead... and reborn, over and over. Jedi... Sith... many lifetimes. I led my allies to the galaxy's edge to destroy the Emperor. We didn't understand his true power then. I lost everyone, betrayed from within. The Emperor imprisoned me, and kept me alive through machinery and Sith Alchemy... used me. Hero of Tython: What use were you to him, locked up in here? Revan: I have known both sides of the Force, Light and Dark. To him, I was a conduit. The Emperor used me as his link to the Light Side of the Force, the Jedi Order. But I was in his mind, too. I convinced the Emperor that peace was in his best interest. Tempered his hate. Meetra: The peace is lost. The Emperor makes his final war. Stop him. Flee this place while you can. Use the enemy's vessels. Revan: Thank you, old friend. I will finish what we started.
@@aamirrazak3467 It's not finished yet, but I wrote it based on KotOR and SWTOR, using references from the movies. The Revan reveal is comparable to the "I am your father" line in Empire, and the final duel references Revenge of the Sith.
Bastila: You are growing weary. I can sense it. Your strength falters. The Light Side is failing you, even now, while the power of the Star Forge re-energizes me. Soon this will all be over! Revan: Then strike me down with all of your hatred. I won't defend myself. Bastila: What type of trick is this? Revan: You can't win, Bastila. If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine. But I don't believe you will. Remember who you once were. You are not this evil. You would not strike down a defenseless opponent. Bastila: I am a Sith apprentice now! You place too much faith in what I used to be... and for that, you shall pay! I ask you for an honorable death, but you are too weak to even grant me that! No more words! This must end with blood!
Reven literally changed sides, and came back to life like 20 different times. This story is an absolute roller coaster man. It's very cool though seems like the best story in SW legends, I Definately need to play KOTOR at some point.
Bastila: Malak is dead! All hail the return of Darth Revan, the true Dark Lord of the Sith! All: ALL HAIL LORD REVAN! ALL HAIL LORD REVAN! ALL HAIL LORD REVAN! Bastila: The Sith bow before you. You have reclaimed your rightful throne. The Jedi Order is in tatters. It is only a matter of time before your Sith minions wipe them from the face of the galaxy. The Republic fleet is decimated; the Core Worlds are defenseless against us!
@@mikeor- the dark side ending is pretty metal, tho I must say I prefer the light side ending. I like to think Revan saves the galaxy, destroys the Star forge and lives happily with Bastila until he goes to fight the true Sith (not vitiate) alongside the Exile, defeating them and returning to live with bastila until they become ones with the force
@@aamirrazak3467 I know, but he has to live his wife behind and fight Vitiate, who imprisons him after Scourge kills the Exile. However, I do prefer the Light Side ending myself, and I agree with what should have been instead of the Revan novel. But my book still has to follow the Canon version.
@@mikeor- I see yeah I wasn’t a fan at all of how the mmo or novel dealt with Revan or the exiles stories, but I understand your book needs to establish continuity
KotOR: Malak: Even the combined powers of the Jedi Council couldn't keep your true identity buried forever, could it? The Council never told you what happened to Darth Revan. Revan: They told me enough. They told me you killed him! Malak: No. YOU are Darth Revan. Revan: No, that's not true! That's impossible! Malak: Search your feelings, you know it to be true. Revan: NOOOOOOO! Empire: Vader: If you only knew the power of the Dark Side. Obi-Wan never told you what happened to your father. Luke: He told me enough. He told me you killed him! Vader: No. I am your father. Luke: No, that's not true! That's impossible! Vader: Search your feelings, you know it to be true. Luke: NOOOOOOO! Vader: Luke, you can destroy the Emperor. He has foreseen this. It is your destiny. Join me, and together, we can rule the galaxy as father and son.
KotOR: Malak: And in the end, as the Darkness takes me, I am nothing. SWTOR: Revan: And in the end, as the Darkness takes me, I am nothing. Now I know how you felt, my friend. Echoes of Oblivion: Vitiate: No… No! Valkorion: The Force is mine! I command it! Tenebrae: I… am… endless! Revan: No. And in the end, as the Darkness takes you, you are nothing.
A few things are not mentioned here. Revan, according to Kreia, consciously (aka of his free will) made the choice to turn to the Dark side during the Mandalorian War. The reason for this is simple: The Jedi nicknamed Revan understood that the Jedi Order only adhered to one side of force (Light) and it doesn't provide all the answer. Its why he tried to gain as much knowledge as he could. So he could make informed decisions not based on the viewpoint of one side. This is why he decided to intervene during the Mandalorian war and eventually decided to accept to Dark Side. Because he understood he needed to understand both side's of the Force in order to combat the greater threat aka the Sith Emperor. Its what part of what makes Revan my favo Jedi.
39:40: KotOR: Bastila: Darth Malak! Carth: Down you go! (fires at him, but gets overthrown) Malak: Ha ha ha ha ha! I hope you weren't thinking of leaving so soon, Bastila. I spent far too much energy hunting you and your companions to let you get away from me now. Besides, I had to see for myself if it was true. Even now I can hardly believe my eyes. Tell me, why did the Jedi spare you? Is it vengeance you seek at this reunion? Revan: Reunion? What are you talking about? Malak: What? Ha ha ha! You mean you don't know? Ha ha ha ha ha ha! All this time, and you still haven't figured it out? Ha ha ha ha ha! I wonder how long you stayed blind to the truth. Surely some of what you once were must have surfaced by now. Even the combined powers of the Jedi Council couldn't keep your true identity buried forever, could it? The Council never told you what happened to Darth Revan. Revan: They told me enough! They told me you killed him! Malak: No. YOU are Darth Revan. Revan: No, that's not true! That's impossible! Malak: Search your feelings, you know it to be true. Revan: NOOOOOO! Empire: Vader: Luke, you do not yet realize your importance. You have only begun to discover your power. Join me, and I will complete your training. With our combined strength, we can end this destructive conflict and bring order to the galaxy. Luke: I'll never join you! Vader: If you only knew the power of the Dark Side. Obi-Wan never told you what happened to your father. Luke: He told me enough. He told me you killed him! Vader: No. I am your father. Luke: No, that's not true! That's impossible! Vader: Search your feelings, you know it to be true. Luke: NOOOOOOOOO! Vader: Luke, you can destroy the Emperor. He has foreseen this. It is your destiny. Join me, and together, we can rule the galaxy as father and son.
I love the metanarrative aspect of Revan. He had the greatest impact on the Star Wars universe, and he is supposed to be YOU the player. Like the events of the movies exist because the fans allowed for the series to grow and Revan expanded the history of the series. His story stretches all the way to the showdown between Luke and Vader on the Death Star because of his influence on Darth Bane, and considering that events creating deep echoes through time is a BIG narrative point in KOTOR 1 and 2 it feels intentional and earned.
Coming back to this video after 2 years, it’s a wonder to me that Disney has barely even had the thought of bringing back Revan in any meaningful way. Seriously, they could drop a whole show about everything that happened before KoTOR 1 without saying anything and I bet 80% of modern Star Wars fans wouldn’t even know it’s a Revan story until the part where they and Malak get captured by Vitiate.
I like civilizationex tell in full actual details in star trek, as well as star wars universe, also good for those who wants to know more about , star wars, and star trek,👍🏽.
This is a great video. By the way, I highly recommend it just skip fast forward through the commercials or use the web browser hack if you’re on your computer.
Disney should just release 90 minute films in the 2003 clone wars animation and title them “Star Wars Legends movies” It’s a win-win. Disney makes more money and they appease both fandoms.
And with that, this is my favourite video on UA-cam. Also, is there any possibility you do one of these on Darth Krayt, or even a remake of your video on Darth Bane?
Revan is my most favourite character of all time. I think he did the right thing, fuck the Jedi Order for not taking any action to help during the mandalorian war.
I remember how aggravating the Jedj Masters were in KOTOR2. they were basically wiped out when the Exile then asked them on Dantoinne what they are planning to do, they literally say; "Wait, like we always do." That's the most destructive wa of pacifism.
One series I would love to see you do videos on is Stormlight Archive and the Cosmere as a whole. I think you'd enjoy them if you haven't already read them
@@CivilizationEx FUCK YES!!!! You don't know how happy I am to hear that. Take all the time you need, I know you can do them justice. Always been a fan of your videos
To be fair, that is Yusanis, the Echani General, a great and respected warrior in his own right. You can even buy his weapon, Yusani's Brand, in Kotor 1 at some point, with the item description telling us of the guy's fate. Kotor is awesome this way. Almost like Dark Souls, you learn more about the lore of the era reading item descriptions.
Crazy how they did not turn this into an animated show. Maybe because paying the original creators isn't a Disney thing. But a clone wars styled show about Revan would print money.
Any love story in Star Wars never ends in a good way: Satine was killed in front of Obi-Wan. Han was killed by his and Leia's own son. Revan was kept away from Bastila and tortured for 300 years, never meeting his son.
Not to be the bad guy, but he forgot to mention that the council on Dantooine was not the actual jedi council. The council on Dantooine have different beliefs on how to approach in the war effort. I don't exactly know when they were founded on Dantooine, but if I were to guess, it would be during the Mandalorian Wars. Like I said I'm not 100% sure when they were founded. but there was definitely 2 jedi councils
Revan: Isn't the Jedi Council on Coruscant? Zhar Lestin: Yes, the High Council of the Jedi Order is on Coruscant, but we are the Jedi Council in charge of the training facility here on Dantooine.
Peace is a lie, There is only passion. Through passion, I gain strength, Through strength, I gain power, Through power, I gain victory, Through victory, My change are broken. The force shall free me.
There is no emotion, there is peace. There is no ignorance, there is knowledge. There is no passion, there is serenity. There is no chaos, there is harmony. There is no death, there is the Force.
Ha when I played I didn't refuse dark bastila and joined her as a Dark Lord, if I remember correctly half my crew freaked out and I had to kill mission vio and zalbaar
I played both dark and light side just to see the different endings. I made a save just before the battle with Bastilla and I killed her for the fun of it but she still appears in the light side ending
I give a lot of the “powers that be” the benefit of the doubt, because I don’t understand the minutiae of production and budgets and film expectations. But a sizable amount of the fan base wants to see Revan on the big screen. They want to see Darth Bane, they want to see the hyperspace wars. They want to see something that goes in depth into Darth Plagueis the wise. A young Sheev Palpatine. The sequel trilogy was only palatable by serious Star Wars fans, most of which were disappointed. They have a target audience in mind, and still fail. Only extreme Star Wars fans can understand what gives the sequel trilogy some depth. So it hasn’t catered to the general masses of people who aren’t deep fans of the franchise, and it still manages to alienate old fans of the franchise who remember the original trilogy that started it all. They have to make their money, in this giant money machine, but in the end, they fail in almost all regards. They couldn’t choose between the two target audiences and as a result, failed them both.
An old republic fan is doomed to fail for the same reason, a 40k movie would fail. The expectations of the core audience is astronomical while the mainstream viewer would need absurd amounts of exposition to understand it. As great as it is, it's just too niche for Hollywood...

Thanks bro
can you make an star wars legends video of Complete History of Hero of Tython ?
Civilazationex can you make a Dune video
I've always known that Revan's "life" is incredibly long by legendary figures-standard, but seeing it all concised in the span of *just* one hour REALLY exacerbates that. The mere fact that Revan held on for so long to the point that he even met AND fought his own descendants no less is incredible. To say that he influenced many events in galactic history is a dire understatement. Even the lifespan and impact of 'modern' figures in galactic history like Yoda and the like would seem small in comparison. That is so crazy to think about in retrospect.
Revan to the emperor: HOW MANY TIMES DO WE HAVE TO TEACH YOU THIS LESSON OLD MAN
The Emperor: Revan, we meet at last. I did not expect your return.
Revan: I have not returned. Darth Revan is dead! And soon you will join him. The circle is now complete. When I left you, I was but the learner. Now I am the Master.
The Emperor: Foolish Jedi! The Dark Side will conquer all! You know, deep inside, that you cannot succeed. But you do not have to stand against me. Instead, you can kneel and become my slave.
Revan: I will never again kneel to you!
The Emperor: You would sooner die than acknowledge my superiority?
Revan: There is no death! There is only the Force!
The Emperor: Show me. And once you fall, you will be forced to kneel before my power!
@@mikeor- And then the emperor puts him in an eternal stasis, sucking the life force from him.
@@undergrounddojokeyboardcag701 Yes, and this goes on for three hundred years.
Lol, SpongeBob reference 🤣
Sidious is worse. I think he came back like 6 times in legends. Luke is seriously at the end of his rope asking how many times he has to teach sidious this lesson.
Now isnt this the perfect live tv show material for star wars? 10 times darker and better than the latest star wars trilogy.
An animated mandalorian wars show would be amazing
A new trilogy or a live action or an animated one but anything would be better than the sequels
@@khaledhossam4691 very true. i think an animated mandalorian wars or new jedi order show could be fantastic. But yeah, anything would be better than the sequels
When will you people ever shut up about what you don't like. no one cares.
@@GrandMoffJake you just did that.. idiot
How come star wars hasn't made series out of this, like this is literally perfect tv show or movie material.
Because it's part of SW legends and they'd need to reintroduce it into the new canon.
Because they don’t know how good it is.
Because they r sucks
I think it's 100% coming and it's telegraphed by The Mandalorian show. We are being made to feel back for the Mandalorians in contemporary star wars and understand how much it sucks being a Mandalorian. Then later we will get the reasons they are in the situation they are in from the Old Republic movies as seen here. Then all those awesome twists keep happening.
"TEH MANDALORIANS ARE EVIL WOAH"
"Oh good Revan stopped them.. wait... they were just being controlled this whole time?!"
"Omg Revan who we have been following for 2 or 3 movies now is becoming so evil!".
etc etc etc etc.
Dear god pls don't let Disney Star Wars touch this
I’ve heard of his story millions of times but the background music makes this sadder then any other time I’ve heard it, these hour long videos keep it up
And as always [Bastila Shan] dreamed of Revan.
The ending of the Revan novel
Best couple in SW imho besides luke and Mara. I wish they’d been able to be reunited
@@aamirrazak3467 Actually, since Mara is no longer Canon, Revan and Bastila are the best couple after Anakin and Padme, possibly. But in my book, they didn't reunite, and sometimes, I wish the Revan novel ended differently. I actually just finished reading the novel, and had to change a lot in my book. Still, it's my second favorite Star Wars novel, after the Darth Bane trilogy, all of which are tied at number one.
@@mikeor- I personally despised the novel and what it did to Revan and the exile specifically. I also really disliked how the true Sith built up in KOTOR 2 ended up getting retconned as Vitiate, and I strongly disliked how the Exile was made a generic Jedi fan girl of Revan. Imho, my favorite Star Wars couple is Revan and Bastila followed closely by Mara and Luke.
@@aamirrazak3467 The true Sith were not retconned exactly, as they reappeared in SWTOR.
Could we imagine if we had gotten Revan in Cline Wars like Filoni had planned. Hopefully he’s brought into the shows or future films soon
Hopefully if they make Old Republic content. The beauty of star wars Legends is that film creators can be creative with the material
After seeing what Disney did to all my other favorite star wars characters, I don't want them to touch revans legacy with 10 ft pole
Well, The clone wars had a deleted scene of Darth Revan And Darth Bane’s spirits speaking to THE SON deep below the ground underneath the home of THE ONES. Unfortunately, the scene was cut from final production because they viewed it as if Revan never came back from the light and that’s why they removed it. We ALMOST had Revan in the TV series, but was scrapped last second.
Revan's life is one of heroism, villainy, conquest, liberation, redemption, tragedy, love and destruction. He defied the Jedi order saying that they should have helped the Republic in stopping the Mandalorians. Then he created his own group of loyalists to take matters into his own hands and his feats and accomplishments became widespread. However as he became more desperate, the closer he came to the dark side. So much so started a long journey of finding the Star Forge which he thought would bring him and the Republic victory. In the process however, he started to become more and more drawn to the Dark Side just after obliterating Malachor into nothing and after confronting the Emperor which they sought to kill, they instead fell completely to the Dark Side of the force. His servitude to the Emperor would be short lived as once they found the Star Forge, the Emperor's influence only wained. Once free of the Emperor's leash, he and Malak thought of using for their own but what were once great childhood friends now became the bitterest of rivals as Revan wasn't fully corrupted by the Star Forge's dark energy whereas Malak became consumed by it. So after losing his jaw to his old friend/master Malak wanted to make sure Revan payed dearly so stabbed him in the back while he was distracted and taking the title of Dark Lord of Sith for himself.
It would have been over for Revan if it weren't for a certain Bastila Shan who decided to spare him and convince the Jedi Council to strip him of his memory and give him a new identity. So placed under Bastila's watchful eye, Revan would start a new beginning which would change him forever. As time went by, he slowly recovered some of his former power and memories but also realized that a strange bond existed between him and Bastila. Naturally he was curious and confused at first but as time went by, he and Bastila started to become closer to the point where it became more than just a simple platonic relationship. Bastila of course would constantly deny this but when she along with Revan and his companions were captured by Malak, it was here that Bastila would do something that would suggest that she did indeed had feelings for Revan. She decided to sacrifice herself to buy Revan and his companions enough time to escape Malak's clutches but instead falling to Malak's blade she survived. With Revan, it would be here that his memory of who he was finally returned and he finally realizes what kind of person he was. Despite knowing of what the atrocities Revan committed in the past, his companions decided to accept him for who he was now and not what he used to be. So he continued along with his companions to find where the Star Forge was and upon finding it's location, Revan encounters a fallen Bastila who tries to tempt him at first to join the Dark Side beside her but Revan of course refused. In a final epic battle that would decide that fate of the Galaxy, the Republic and Jedi launched an attack on the Star Forge with Revan and his companions at the forefront. After battling and defeating numerous Sith Warriors, Revan encounters the woman whom he cared for the most using her special power against the Republic to strengthen the Sith. So he duels with Bastila and after three defeats, Bastila knew she couldn't defeat Revan and begged him to end her life. However, it was here that Revan admits something he had always wanted to believe all this time. His love for Bastila. Upon admitting it to her, Bastila said that she loves him too with all her heart and that nothing would ever make her feel safer than to be loved by him. They're conversation would only end when Revan tells Bastila that she needed to use her Battle Meditation to aid the Republic in the battle and that he would encounter and kill Malak once and for all. Eventually, it is as just Malak and Revan on their own to duke it out to see who was the stronger one. And eventually it was Revan who prevailed over Malak but instead of executing him outright, he instead felt regret for causing all this conflict and making his once childhood friend to continue on a path of darkness shortly before Malak died of his wounds. After the battle, Revan and his lover Bastila along with his companions became heroes and Revan's status became legendary as he was the only one who can command both the Light and Dark Side of the Force since he was Sith and Jedi in one.
However Revan felt his duty wasn't over yet and upon regaining more of his memory, he finally remembered the true threat that was the Sith Emperor Vitiate. The one who instigated and manipulated him, Malak and others to start conflict after conflict within the Galaxy for his own vanity. So he told Bastila about his perilous journey and that she should come with him but she can't because she was pregnant with their child and she couldn't leave the child behind. Revan decided to make the difficult decision to leave his love behind with their child but what he didn't know was that that would be the last time he would ever see his wife's beautiful face ever again. So he left to confront the Sith Emperor to being peace to the Galaxy but upon arriving on the Sith Capital, he would only be captured and tortured for years for information. All this time he hoped and promised to Bastila that he will return someday to see her and their beloved son. And he would get a vision of not his wife but instead of his protegee and close friend Meetra Surik rescuing him. Either way, he welcomed it and felt calm after a long time being tortured by Lord Scourge. Eventually, Meetra did come alongside his droid companion T3-M4 to rescue him from the hellhole that was the Sith Capital. Once he was free, Meetra gave him back the mask he wore all those years ago and wore it back on. What he saw however, would only bring everything back to him. Every memory of his past life, the things he did, what he experienced all came back to his head which caused him to faint in horror. Taking advantage of this, Darth Nyriss attacked both Meetra and Scourge who had now decided to fight alongside Revan to defeat the Emperor. Revan however got up from the ground and simply announced that he was reborn and before him, Nyriss was nothing. Nyriss tries to attack but was only defeated when Revan used her own attack against her which turned her into nothing more than a pile of ash. After the confrontation, Revan and his three companions battled their way to the Sith Emperor's throne room, defeating any opposition that stood in there way. Once they reached the emperor, Meetra and Scourge fought the Imperial Guards while Revan went for the Emperor himself. Despite his power, the Emperor noticed how strong Revan was in the Force as he used both the Light and Dark to strengthen himself and match the Emperor in almost every way. Just when the Emperor was about to deal a killing blow, his droid companion T3-M4, made a self-sacrifice by firing his flamethrower at the Emperor but while this did nothing, it did distract the Emperor at the cost of the droids own life. Seeing this Revan, presses the attack and delivers all his power into defeating the Sith Emperor. The two became evenly matched until once again the Emperor was about to deal a killing blow. Seeing him in trouble, Meetra throws her lightsaber at the Emperor's own to save Revan which causes the Emperor to stumble back. Now that it was Revan, Meetra and Scourge together to fight the Emperor, the battle seemed like it would be over soon. And then, the unthinkable happens. Just as Meetra was about strike, she was then stabbed in the back by Scourge and the lightsaber pierced through her heart, killing her instantly. Revan became momentarily shocked and the Sith Emperor took full advantage of this and shot a torrent of lightning at Revan decided which incapacitated him. Again he was taken prisoner and tortured but this time not for a few years or a decade but for three whole centuries kept alive only through Sith Alchemy.
Perhaps the most terrible thing for Revan is that since he will stay imprisoned for three hundred years, he will never get to see his wife and son despite promising to return. All while he was gone Bastila, dreamt of Revan coming back someday... but as the years went by and she became a Jedi Master and member of the Jedi Council, Revan never came back which made her worried since she hasn't seen him in years. Eventually Bastila would die of old age and presumably grief not knowing where Revan went, what he did or what had happened to him. And their son? He would never even see his Father's face come back as he too would die of old age all while Revan was being tormented by the Sith Emperor. It's not just his family though, all of his friends and former companions would pass away too until Revan lost everyone he knew and showed cared for with only Meetra's Force Ghost to comfort him through his pain and sorrow.
Can you imagine if this happened to you? Not only do you lose everything you have but everyone you love and cared for. Your family, friends and loyal companions all taken away from you. Being tortured and made to suffer for three centuries worth of pain and seeing everyone and everything you knew taken away from you. If that's not tragic I don't know what is.
this is awesome
Man we did not need this recap under the hour long video that says the same stuff
@@dylananderson310 well I wrote my recap in eulogy while CivX was more informative in a way
Revan is my favorite Star Wars character outside of the movies, and my second-favorite Star Wars character overall (after Anakin/Vader). His story is far more impactful than that of Anakin, and is far more relatable to others. Revan is a character who has a split personality, being a Jedi and a Sith many times over. Anakin was both a Jedi and Sith, but he never became a Jedi twice. He only returned to the Light Side moments before his death, while Revan changed alignments multiple times throughout his life. ANYONE could be aligned with the Light Side or the Dark Side, and anyone has the potential to change. Revan demonstrated that, and while he found this balance, he never achieved the same level as Anakin did. Therefore, I am just so tired of people calling Revan the Chosen One of the Old Republic Era. If he was that, then there would be no Chosen One at all, as the nature of the prophecy says that there can only be one person, and if Revan and Anakin were both that individual, that would make the prophecy of the Chosen Two, or the Chosen Three, and so on. Revan did find balance in the Force, and I could see what would happen if this befell me, but that would not make Revan the Chosen One. Revan is a great character, and he is still my favorite one after Anakin, but the reason why is because Revan was never chosen by fate or by the Force to save the galaxy. He CHOSE to fall to the Dark Side, he CHOSE to be redeemed, and he CHOSE to become who he is. Anakin, by contrast, was CHOSEN by the Force to bring balance. He never asked to become the Chosen One, but he did through intervention by the Force. The reason why Revan is so beloved is because he was NOT the Chosen One. He made his own choices, and this freedom is what makes him so relatable.
Get a job
As a young Jedi I went to war. I accepted violence and darkness and the Emperor called to me from across the galaxy. Only I understand him and his death is my responsibility. He made me a Sith Lord and named me Darth Revan. I killed for him, I turned on the Republic, but I have found redemption. There was a time, a moment when my destiny wasn't certain. That moment is gone. I've saved the Republic twice before, I've fought Mandalores and armies of the dark side. You have never fought anyone like me. I AM REVAN!
Lord Kallig: You think you're the only Jedi who has ever fallen? You're one of thousands, Darth Revan... and you're more delusional than they were.This is not clarity, and this is not your responsibility. There is another path to fulfilling your purpose, if you have one. The cult I spoke of earlier, the one that was founded on Dromund Kaas… they not only honor you; they worship you. If you use the Foundry upon them, as you would against the Sith, their religion of you will be forever shattered and forgotten. Men can hardly survive a betrayal of their faith. You, of all people, should know this. You were once the galaxy’s greatest hero, and the savior of your decrepit Republic, of which I do not approve. But there is more I know about you, Lord Revan. You have taught the Jedi the one lesson they refuse to learn: that nobody is beyond redemption. They refuse to learn this lesson because it is undoubtedly false. You claim to have been redeemed, but you are not! Instead, you have been turned to find only another doom! What was all that incessant chatter about the Jedi rejecting the idea of killing their prisoners? Has it now become a lie, like their frequent chanting about the value of peace? I may not be one of them at all, but as far as I know, the Jedi are not butchers. You are not any wiser than you were three hundred years ago. You were the Dark Lord of the Sith and a Jedi Master once, but now, you are nothing! It would be wise of you to heed my final words before I end you. I might even spare your miserable and worthless life, as long as it will last. It will inevitably continue, considering that you indeed survived for three hundred years. But I demand that you at least hear my words, Revan! Stop this insane and unrealistic crusade! End this mad bloodshed while you still can! It does not have to be this way!
Revan: You cannot stop me! I am the one who has fallen, been redeemed, and found absolute Balance in the Force. I am the Chosen One! I am destined to destroy the Sith, not join them! Bring balance to the Force, not leave it in Darkness! I have saved the Republic twice before. I have fought Mandalorians and armies of the Dark Side. I have defeated both of them. You are no match for me!
Lord Kallig: You cannot bring balance to the Force. You could not raise the Sith to greatness. What makes you think you can save the Republic?
Revan: I can do whatever I want now. I am Revan reborn! And before me, you are nothing! I was Sith! I am Jedi! (Lord Kallig defeats him) And in the end, as the Darkness takes me, I am nothing. Now I know how you felt, my friend.
Love the KOTOR-era videos and the updated drawings
KotOR:
Revan: These are the words of a tortured soul, of a broken will! You have allowed this Dark Lord to twist your mind until now, you have become the very thing you swore to destroy.
Bastila: Don't lecture me, Revan! I see through the lies of the Jedi! I do not fear the Dark Side as you do! You are a sad little fool. You speak as if I were the same Bastila you have known all along. But freed from the control of the Jedi Council, I have become much, much more! I have brought peace, freedom, justice, and security to my new Empire!
Revan: YOUR new Empire? You can't mean that! Don't be lured in by these Sith lies!
Bastila: Lies? YOU are the one living a lie, Revan! Peace is a lie! There is only passion! The Jedi Council made you into something you are not! They programmed you to be their slave. You used to be Revan, Dark Lord of the Sith, but no longer. You are simply a pawn of the Jedi Council, as I once was, until Malak freed me from their shackles. Malak opened my eyes to the truth! He granted me unlimited power, something the Jedi Council never would! Through power, I gained victory! Through victory, my chains were broken! The Force had freed me! A pity the power you once had is so diluted in you. You could have been as strong as I am now... stronger even. But that will never happen, now. I almost wish you could see things as I do. I wish you could join with me and taste true power once again. Sadly, I doubt you are even capable any longer. With the power of the Star Forge, Malak will destroy the Republic and conquer the galaxy. And I will be the apprentice at his side... after I prove my worth by killing you!
Revan: No!
Revenge of the Sith:
Anakin: You will not take her from me!
Obi-Wan: Your anger and your lust for power have already done that. You have allowed this Dark Lord to twist your mind until now... until now, you have become the very thing you swore to destroy.
Anakin: Don't lecture me, Obi-Wan! I see through the lies of the Jedi! I do not fear the Dark Side as you do! I have brought peace, freedom, justice, and security to my new Empire!
Obi-Wan: YOUR new Empire?!
Anakin: Don't make me kill you.
Obi-Wan: Anakin, my allegiance is to the Republic, to democracy!
Anakin: If you're not with me, then you're my enemy.
Obi-Wan: Only a Sith deals in absolutes. I will do what I must.
Anakin: You will try...
Your lore videos are very impressive, you must be very proud
Great comprehensive video as always! Revan is my favorite Star wars character of all time, his story is amazing. While I wasn’t a fan of the novel or SWTOR and how they handled him and the Exile, I appreciate your detailed recounting of those events.
I've been looking forward to this.
The video length has doubled since we last met count
@@davidbarry282 Good. Twice the length, double the info.
My knowledge of the EU has doubled since we last met Count...
Revan: Where... what's happened? I can feel... no! No! What have you done? There's nothing to restrain him now!
Hero of Tython: YOU were the one being restrained.
Revan: My struggle kept the Emperor in check. How did you find me?
Meetra: Your strength fails. You must be free, or all is lost.
Revan: You should be one with the Force. Finally at peace.
Meetra: No peace while you suffer. The Emperor drowns you in black waters.
Revan: He wants me to be Darth Revan again. Serve him as I did centuries ago.
Hero of Tython: The holorecords say you brought the Republic to its knees as a Sith, and saved it as a Jedi. They also say you are long dead.
Revan: I am dead... and reborn, over and over. Jedi... Sith... many lifetimes. I led my allies to the galaxy's edge to destroy the Emperor. We didn't understand his true power then. I lost everyone, betrayed from within. The Emperor imprisoned me, and kept me alive through machinery and Sith Alchemy... used me.
Hero of Tython: What use were you to him, locked up in here?
Revan: I have known both sides of the Force, Light and Dark. To him, I was a conduit. The Emperor used me as his link to the Light Side of the Force, the Jedi Order. But I was in his mind, too. I convinced the Emperor that peace was in his best interest. Tempered his hate.
Meetra: The peace is lost. The Emperor makes his final war. Stop him. Flee this place while you can. Use the enemy's vessels.
Revan: Thank you, old friend. I will finish what we started.
Revan: I am no Jedi. Nor am I a Sith. I am something much more... I am the Chosen One! I am Revan reborn! And before me, you are nothing!
I didn’t like the novel very much, but the “I am Revan reborn, and before me, you are nothing” line was so cool
@@aamirrazak3467 I know, right? I just had to include it in my book too.
@@mikeor- you wrote a book? Wow congrats that’s impressive
@@aamirrazak3467 It's not finished yet, but I wrote it based on KotOR and SWTOR, using references from the movies. The Revan reveal is comparable to the "I am your father" line in Empire, and the final duel references Revenge of the Sith.
Tell us when you finish it
Revan made the greatest impact on the galaxy
His legacy stretched across the centuries, he was a truly fantastic significant character
Bastila: You are growing weary. I can sense it. Your strength falters. The Light Side is failing you, even now, while the power of the Star Forge re-energizes me. Soon this will all be over!
Revan: Then strike me down with all of your hatred. I won't defend myself.
Bastila: What type of trick is this?
Revan: You can't win, Bastila. If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine. But I don't believe you will. Remember who you once were. You are not this evil. You would not strike down a defenseless opponent.
Bastila: I am a Sith apprentice now! You place too much faith in what I used to be... and for that, you shall pay! I ask you for an honorable death, but you are too weak to even grant me that! No more words! This must end with blood!
Any Star Wars movie with Revan at the center would absolutely crush at the theaters…I hope they’re thinking the same thing 🧐
Reven literally changed sides, and came back to life like 20 different times. This story is an absolute roller coaster man. It's very cool though seems like the best story in SW legends, I Definately need to play KOTOR at some point.
Today I finished all the revan related content and watched this video to see if missed something, nope this video is pretty detailed
That’s a good name
I approve
They can easily make a game of thrones style old republic tv show. It will literally be a masterpiece.
That or even make a new Trilogy of movies dedicated to the old republic, separate from the Skywalker saga.
Seeing how disney has handled star wars up to this point it would definitely be garbage. No thanks
@@nicolasacosta1673 Mandalorian is good.
@@Scripzure It's actually mediocre. It just seems good because it's not as garbage as the other disney content. But it's definitely not good.
This is where the fun begins! All hail Revan all hail Revan
Bastila: Malak is dead! All hail the return of Darth Revan, the true Dark Lord of the Sith!
All: ALL HAIL LORD REVAN! ALL HAIL LORD REVAN! ALL HAIL LORD REVAN!
Bastila: The Sith bow before you. You have reclaimed your rightful throne. The Jedi Order is in tatters. It is only a matter of time before your Sith minions wipe them from the face of the galaxy. The Republic fleet is decimated; the Core Worlds are defenseless against us!
@@mikeor- the dark side ending is pretty metal, tho I must say I prefer the light side ending. I like to think Revan saves the galaxy, destroys the Star forge and lives happily with Bastila until he goes to fight the true Sith (not vitiate) alongside the Exile, defeating them and returning to live with bastila until they become ones with the force
@@aamirrazak3467 I know, but he has to live his wife behind and fight Vitiate, who imprisons him after Scourge kills the Exile. However, I do prefer the Light Side ending myself, and I agree with what should have been instead of the Revan novel. But my book still has to follow the Canon version.
@@mikeor- I see yeah I wasn’t a fan at all of how the mmo or novel dealt with Revan or the exiles stories, but I understand your book needs to establish continuity
@@aamirrazak3467 It's finished, but PhantomRedKnight has to complete his playlist, which will help me edit the book. Stay tuned.
I love how he had a vision of the Mandalorians taking over the Republic. The tie ins between the Old Republic and the movies are always awesome.
I really like how the past few years with SWTOR has mad Nathema, to me at least, one of the more interesting Sith-Associated planets.
We need Zayne Carricks story retold in this fashion!
I agree with you!!!😃😃😃
KotOR:
Malak: Even the combined powers of the Jedi Council couldn't keep your true identity buried forever, could it? The Council never told you what happened to Darth Revan.
Revan: They told me enough. They told me you killed him!
Malak: No. YOU are Darth Revan.
Revan: No, that's not true! That's impossible!
Malak: Search your feelings, you know it to be true.
Revan: NOOOOOOO!
Empire:
Vader: If you only knew the power of the Dark Side. Obi-Wan never told you what happened to your father.
Luke: He told me enough. He told me you killed him!
Vader: No. I am your father.
Luke: No, that's not true! That's impossible!
Vader: Search your feelings, you know it to be true.
Luke: NOOOOOOO!
Vader: Luke, you can destroy the Emperor. He has foreseen this. It is your destiny. Join me, and together, we can rule the galaxy as father and son.
This video was longer than expected. I still watched the whole thing, which surprised me.
Would love to see a full fledged retelling of the Zayne Carrick Kotor comics. Your stuff is great
My new head canon. Just as Korriban became Moraband, Nathema became Exegol.
KotOR:
Malak: And in the end, as the Darkness takes me, I am nothing.
SWTOR:
Revan: And in the end, as the Darkness takes me, I am nothing. Now I know how you felt, my friend.
Echoes of Oblivion:
Vitiate: No… No!
Valkorion: The Force is mine! I command it!
Tenebrae: I… am… endless!
Revan: No. And in the end, as the Darkness takes you, you are nothing.
1:04:45 Hay thanks for saying even his robes CivilizationEx!!!👍👍👍
lol you're welcome :)
A few things are not mentioned here. Revan, according to Kreia, consciously (aka of his free will) made the choice to turn to the Dark side during the Mandalorian War. The reason for this is simple: The Jedi nicknamed Revan understood that the Jedi Order only adhered to one side of force (Light) and it doesn't provide all the answer. Its why he tried to gain as much knowledge as he could. So he could make informed decisions not based on the viewpoint of one side. This is why he decided to intervene during the Mandalorian war and eventually decided to accept to Dark Side. Because he understood he needed to understand both side's of the Force in order to combat the greater threat aka the Sith Emperor. Its what part of what makes Revan my favo Jedi.
Underrated point Revan was different in the way he chose the dark side in calculating solutions instead of falling he was playing 4k chess
39:40: KotOR:
Bastila: Darth Malak!
Carth: Down you go! (fires at him, but gets overthrown)
Malak: Ha ha ha ha ha! I hope you weren't thinking of leaving so soon, Bastila. I spent far too much energy hunting you and your companions to let you get away from me now. Besides, I had to see for myself if it was true. Even now I can hardly believe my eyes. Tell me, why did the Jedi spare you? Is it vengeance you seek at this reunion?
Revan: Reunion? What are you talking about?
Malak: What? Ha ha ha! You mean you don't know? Ha ha ha ha ha ha! All this time, and you still haven't figured it out? Ha ha ha ha ha! I wonder how long you stayed blind to the truth. Surely some of what you once were must have surfaced by now. Even the combined powers of the Jedi Council couldn't keep your true identity buried forever, could it? The Council never told you what happened to Darth Revan.
Revan: They told me enough! They told me you killed him!
Malak: No. YOU are Darth Revan.
Revan: No, that's not true! That's impossible!
Malak: Search your feelings, you know it to be true.
Revan: NOOOOOO!
Empire:
Vader: Luke, you do not yet realize your importance. You have only begun to discover your power. Join me, and I will complete your training. With our combined strength, we can end this destructive conflict and bring order to the galaxy.
Luke: I'll never join you!
Vader: If you only knew the power of the Dark Side. Obi-Wan never told you what happened to your father.
Luke: He told me enough. He told me you killed him!
Vader: No. I am your father.
Luke: No, that's not true! That's impossible!
Vader: Search your feelings, you know it to be true.
Luke: NOOOOOOOOO!
Vader: Luke, you can destroy the Emperor. He has foreseen this. It is your destiny. Join me, and together, we can rule the galaxy as father and son.
these videos always make me wanna play the old republic lol
I love the metanarrative aspect of Revan. He had the greatest impact on the Star Wars universe, and he is supposed to be YOU the player. Like the events of the movies exist because the fans allowed for the series to grow and Revan expanded the history of the series. His story stretches all the way to the showdown between Luke and Vader on the Death Star because of his influence on Darth Bane, and considering that events creating deep echoes through time is a BIG narrative point in KOTOR 1 and 2 it feels intentional and earned.
Good video I watched the whole thing
Coming back to this video after 2 years, it’s a wonder to me that Disney has barely even had the thought of bringing back Revan in any meaningful way. Seriously, they could drop a whole show about everything that happened before KoTOR 1 without saying anything and I bet 80% of modern Star Wars fans wouldn’t even know it’s a Revan story until the part where they and Malak get captured by Vitiate.
I hope Jodie Whitaker gets the role of revan
I could imagine the Sith Lords looking at the list of dead apprentices and saying to Sidious, “You having trouble fam?”.
Finally, something worth my time
As always an amazing video love your content
Put all this information into a trilogy and you've got your own money starforge
The fact that you took more than an hour out of your day just to talk about a fictional character is great
I like civilizationex tell in full actual details in star trek, as well as star wars universe, also good for those who wants to know more about , star wars, and star trek,👍🏽.
This is a great video. By the way, I highly recommend it just skip fast forward through the commercials or use the web browser hack if you’re on your computer.
bro your channel is one of the best I've come across
I've realized that the Jedi and sith are both villains and the revanites are the good guys and the only ones actually seeking out balance in the force
This is the story i have always wanted to be on the screen.
Woow!! Just watched the full video. Its great!! Really nice work here!! Thank you so much!! Greetings from Perú!!
I’m loving this vid. I played the first game and half of Kotor 2. But I didn’t know most of this. So helpful. Kotor 1 is better the 2 in my opinion
Great work 😁😁😁 i watch/hear this these all the time.. 😁😁😁
Disney should just release 90 minute films in the 2003 clone wars animation and title them “Star Wars Legends movies”
It’s a win-win. Disney makes more money and they appease both fandoms.
Very nice, good video!
And with that, this is my favourite video on UA-cam.
Also, is there any possibility you do one of these on Darth Krayt, or even a remake of your video on Darth Bane?
Yes to both of those, the Bane remake will probably come first.
@@CivilizationEx what about malgus!
Ah Revan nice to see you in the comments sir you’re my favorite Star wars character your story rocks
@@aamirrazak3467 Eh? I'm one of those people stranded on Dromund Kaas that follow Revan, not the man himself.
@@GayFishYe whoops my bad I confused you for someone else. You have the same mask
Have this on the background while I play KOTOR on my phone
Revan is my most favourite character of all time. I think he did the right thing, fuck the Jedi Order for not taking any action to help during the mandalorian war.
I remember how aggravating the Jedj Masters were in KOTOR2.
they were basically wiped out when the Exile then asked them on Dantoinne what they are planning to do, they literally say; "Wait, like we always do."
That's the most destructive wa of pacifism.
One series I would love to see you do videos on is Stormlight Archive and the Cosmere as a whole. I think you'd enjoy them if you haven't already read them
I love Sanderson's novels, and the Cosmere will be the next universe I cover, just not sure when that will be.
@@CivilizationEx FUCK YES!!!! You don't know how happy I am to hear that. Take all the time you need, I know you can do them justice. Always been a fan of your videos
25:27 Can we talk about how someone had the guts to challenge Revan to a 1v1
To be fair, that is Yusanis, the Echani General, a great and respected warrior in his own right. You can even buy his weapon, Yusani's Brand, in Kotor 1 at some point, with the item description telling us of the guy's fate. Kotor is awesome this way. Almost like Dark Souls, you learn more about the lore of the era reading item descriptions.
Crazy how they did not turn this into an animated show. Maybe because paying the original creators isn't a Disney thing. But a clone wars styled show about Revan would print money.
Another great video as always !
59:59
Cool reference of Revan and Malek
1:06:52 Hopefully while being one with Force Revan could have reunited with Bastila in the Force!!!
Oh that’s a great idea I hope so too he deserved to find peace in the end given his difficult life
Any love story in Star Wars never ends in a good way:
Satine was killed in front of Obi-Wan.
Han was killed by his and Leia's own son.
Revan was kept away from Bastila and tortured for 300 years, never meeting his son.
@@Ivory5547 I just pretend the sequels never happened
@@aamirrazak3467 A wise person, I see.
@@Ivory5547 thank you. for me the true sequels will always be the thrawn trilogy and then the new jedi order
A Revan Trilogy is needed. But for me, whose favorite game was KOTOR for over 15 years, ill never accept him as Darth Revan
Can you do d&d next? All the settings in 5e so far would be sweet. Or previous editions up till 5e
I fucking love these videos man
There is a whole pool of material here, could make a whole TV series of the Old Republic
my man literally attacked and devastated all the available factions of his time
This story is epic
Now I know how you felt my friend. Centuries later
Man, how I would have loved to hear at 35:30 , "And so with their mission complete, proceeded to slaughter the Sith before reaching their ship."
The guy certainly lived a full life.
Ooooohhh soo THAT'S the twist in ************* damn, wish I hadn't watched this and actually played it 😳
You should do Dragonlance next
Not to be the bad guy, but he forgot to mention that the council on Dantooine was not the actual jedi council. The council on Dantooine have different beliefs on how to approach in the war effort. I don't exactly know when they were founded on Dantooine, but if I were to guess, it would be during the Mandalorian Wars. Like I said I'm not 100% sure when they were founded. but there was definitely 2 jedi councils
Revan: Isn't the Jedi Council on Coruscant?
Zhar Lestin: Yes, the High Council of the Jedi Order is on Coruscant, but we are the Jedi Council in charge of the training facility here on Dantooine.
You mean Cannon. Disney is not canon. We all need to stop excepting that.
This need to be adapted into a tv show on disney plus to fit into the new the canon
Could you do a video about the whole life of vitiate/tenebrae/valkorion?
Great content thanks for the video
And nowww.....the one known as Revan...returns
Crazy how in Star Wars…no matter what point of the timeline….there is something ancient people are looking for 😂
I would love to watch this as a trilogy movie.
So Revan believed in the Rule of two, but Bane learned of this and enacted it, correct?
Revan wanted to enact the Rule of Two, but Malak betrayed him before he could. Therefore, it fell to Darth Bane to enact this rule.
@@mikeor- Ahh I see. Thank you
Kotor remake coming out boys
26:30 Treason then
Dark Revan is officially canon
Its darth
@@dries2510 it's actually both
Great vid
your videos are awesome! ty
Holy shit this was a good video
Peace is a lie,
There is only passion.
Through passion,
I gain strength,
Through strength,
I gain power,
Through power,
I gain victory,
Through victory,
My change are broken.
The force shall free me.
There is no emotion, there is peace.
There is no ignorance, there is knowledge.
There is no passion, there is serenity.
There is no chaos, there is harmony.
There is no death, there is the Force.
I just wanna see 13213 jedi vs 13213 sith all going ham and killing each other
So when they all reunite; are we ready as fans!? Anakin, Luke, Ben, Han, Yoda, Dooku, Grievous, Rai, Windu, then Qui-Gon Jinn.... For one last time.
Revan: literally too angry to die
Keanu Reeves as Revan would be so awesome
Ha when I played I didn't refuse dark bastila and joined her as a Dark Lord, if I remember correctly half my crew freaked out and I had to kill mission vio and zalbaar
I played both dark and light side just to see the different endings. I made a save just before the battle with Bastilla and I killed her for the fun of it but she still appears in the light side ending
Wait wait wait. 52:52 Her FORCE GHOST? Did Jedi know how to become those back then? Is it information that was lost to time or did I find a plot hole?
This is legends lore where if you were strong enough if the force you could literally will yourself into a ghost.
The Jedi erasing Reven's memories and turning him into their agent feels so seedy. I would turn against the Jedi after defeating Malek.
I give a lot of the “powers that be” the benefit of the doubt, because I don’t understand the minutiae of production and budgets and film expectations. But a sizable amount of the fan base wants to see Revan on the big screen. They want to see Darth Bane, they want to see the hyperspace wars. They want to see something that goes in depth into Darth Plagueis the wise. A young Sheev Palpatine. The sequel trilogy was only palatable by serious Star Wars fans, most of which were disappointed. They have a target audience in mind, and still fail. Only extreme Star Wars fans can understand what gives the sequel trilogy some depth. So it hasn’t catered to the general masses of people who aren’t deep fans of the franchise, and it still manages to alienate old fans of the franchise who remember the original trilogy that started it all. They have to make their money, in this giant money machine, but in the end, they fail in almost all regards. They couldn’t choose between the two target audiences and as a result, failed them both.
An old republic fan is doomed to fail for the same reason, a 40k movie would fail.
The expectations of the core audience is astronomical while the mainstream viewer would need absurd amounts of exposition to understand it.
As great as it is, it's just too niche for Hollywood...
Even Mark Hamill said, "The studio doesn't care if the movie's any good, only if it makes money"
So good
"future alliance commander" oh i think they're talking about "my character"
