Who is Darth Revan

So who is Darth Revan? Darth Revan is a fictional character in the Star Wars universe. He is a central figure in the Star Wars Expanded Universe, particularly in the video game “Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic” (KOTOR), released in 2003.

In the game’s storyline, Revan was a Jedi Knight who became a Sith Lord during the era known as the Old Republic, which is set thousands of years before the events of the Star Wars films. Revan was a highly skilled and charismatic Jedi who, along with his friend and fellow Jedi, Malak, ventured into the Unknown Regions of space to confront the Sith Empire.

However, during their mission, Revan and Malak were captured and brainwashed by the Sith Emperor, who turned them into Sith Lords. Under the influence of the dark side of the Force, Revan and Malak returned to the Republic as the leaders of a Sith armada, sparking the Mandalorian Wars.

Eventually, Revan was captured by the Jedi and his memory was erased, leading him to forget his former identity. The player assumes the role of a character who embarks on a journey to uncover the truth about Revan’s past and stop the renewed threat he poses.

Darth Revan is known for his complex character arc and has become a beloved figure among Star Wars fans. He represents the struggle between the light and dark sides of the Force and has had a significant impact on the Star Wars Expanded Universe. It’s worth noting that while Revan is a prominent character in the Star Wars video game and literary universe, he has not appeared in any of the Star Wars films as of my knowledge cutoff in September 2021.

What did Darth Raven do?

Darth Revan’s actions and impact on the Star Wars universe are primarily explored in the “Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic” (KOTOR) video game and its associated expanded universe material. Here are some key aspects of Revan’s story and what he accomplished:

1. Jedi Knight and Hero: Revan began as a Jedi Knight and was known for his exceptional combat skills and strategic brilliance. He fought in the Mandalorian Wars, a conflict between the Republic and Mandalorian warriors. Revan’s leadership and tactical acumen were instrumental in turning the tide of the war in favor of the Republic.
2. Fall to the Dark Side: During the Mandalorian Wars, Revan and his friend Malak journeyed into the Unknown Regions and discovered the Sith Empire. Seduced by the dark side of the Force, they were captured and turned to the Sith by the Sith Emperor. Revan became a powerful Sith Lord, while Malak became his apprentice.
3. Sith Lord and Sith Empire: Revan and Malak returned to the Republic as leaders of the Sith Empire, launching a devastating war against the Republic known as the Jedi Civil War. Revan’s military prowess and ability to manipulate the Force allowed him to gather a large Sith armada and challenge the Jedi Order.
4. Redemption and Battle against the True Sith: Towards the end of the Jedi Civil War, Revan’s memory was erased by the Jedi Council, and he was reprogrammed to believe he was a loyal Jedi. Revan embarked on a journey to rediscover his past and stop his former apprentice, Malak. He ultimately redeemed himself and defeated Malak, bringing an end to the Sith threat.
5. Search for the Star Forge: Revan’s journey to regain his memory and stop Malak involved a quest to find the ancient superweapon known as the Star Forge. The Star Forge was a massive space station capable of manufacturing an endless fleet of ships, and it played a significant role in the Sith Empire’s power.

Darth Revan’s story is filled with complex character development, moral ambiguity, and the struggle between light and dark. His actions and choices have had far-reaching consequences in the Star Wars universe, making him a compelling and enduring figure in the expanded lore.

What is the Star Forge?

The Star Forge is a pivotal element in the “Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic” (KOTOR) video game and its associated expanded universe material. It is an ancient and powerful superweapon that plays a significant role in the story.

The Star Forge is an enormous space station of unknown origin, located in the Unknown Regions of the galaxy. It possesses advanced technology and the ability to tap into the dark side of the Force. The station has the capability to harness the energy of nearby stars to produce an infinite supply of resources, including ships, droids, and weapons.

With the Star Forge’s manufacturing capabilities, Darth Revan and his Sith Empire were able to build an immense fleet to challenge the Republic during the Jedi Civil War. The Star Forge’s ability to construct ships rapidly and in vast numbers gave the Sith a significant advantage in the conflict.

Moreover, the Star Forge also possessed the power to corrupt individuals and influence them towards the dark side of the Force. It had the ability to amplify Force abilities, making its wielders even more formidable. The Star Forge’s connection to the dark side allowed it to manipulate and twist those who were vulnerable to its influence.

The Star Forge serves as a central plot device in the KOTOR game, with the protagonist’s quest involving the discovery and eventual confrontation with this ancient superweapon. The Star Forge’s power and the need to prevent it from falling into the wrong hands drives much of the game’s narrative and the battle between the Jedi and Sith.

Did Darth Revan die?

The fate of Darth Revan is a subject of debate and interpretation within the Star Wars universe. In the “Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic” (KOTOR) video game, the canonical Light Side ending suggests that Revan survives, while the Dark Side ending implies his demise. However, the expanded universe has provided further details about Revan’s story after the events of the game.

In the novel “Star Wars: The Old Republic: Revan” by Drew Karpyshyn, which continues the story of Revan after KOTOR, it is revealed that he survives the final battle against his former apprentice, Darth Malak. Revan and his loyal companion, Meetra Surik (also known as the Jedi Exile), journey into the Unknown Regions to confront a greater threat known as the “True Sith.”

In the novel, Revan’s fate becomes uncertain as he ventures into the Unknown Regions. There is no definitive account of his ultimate destiny, and the story remains open-ended, leaving room for speculation and interpretation.

It’s worth noting that as of my knowledge cutoff in September 2021, Revan’s story beyond the events of “Star Wars: The Old Republic: Revan” has not been covered in official material. Therefore, any information or developments regarding Revan’s fate after that point would require consulting more recent sources or official announcements from Lucasfilm.

Who was the True Sith?

The “True Sith” is a term used in the Star Wars Expanded Universe to refer to a mysterious and powerful Sith Empire that existed in the Unknown Regions of the galaxy during the era of the Old Republic, which is set thousands of years before the events of the Star Wars films.

In the context of the story involving Darth Revan and the events following the “Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic” (KOTOR) video game, the True Sith refers to the Sith Empire that Revan and his companion Meetra Surik (the Jedi Exile) sought to confront and stop.

The True Sith Empire remained largely hidden and unknown to the Republic and the Jedi Order. Revan, having gained knowledge of the True Sith during his time as a Sith Lord, believed that they posed a significant threat to the galaxy and saw it as his mission to confront them.

However, the True Sith Empire’s true nature, leaders, and precise motivations were not extensively explored in the material released before my knowledge cutoff in September 2021. It is important to note that since the release of KOTOR and its associated expanded universe material, the Star Wars canon has undergone changes, and new stories and information may have emerged since then that provide further details about the True Sith Empire.
