5 Quick Legends FACTS about DARTH REVAN-Darth Revan-or just merely Revan-has grown to become a fan favorite amongst Star Wars fans, while also being one of the coolest looking characters in Star Wars. Revan is seriously so cool looking! In Legends, Revan had a pretty in-depth backstory that took place nearly 4,000 before the events in A New Hope. Revan—renowned as the Revanchist, honored as the Revan, reviled as Revan the Butcher, dreaded as the Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Revan, & praised as the Prodigal Knight—was a Human male who played pivotal roles as both Jedi & Sith in the Mandalorian Wars & the Jedi Civil War. Believed to have been born in the Outer Rim Territories, the man later known as Revan was born around the year 3994 BBY and studied under a number of different Jedi Masters as a Padawan of the Jedi Order. Becoming fast friends with a fellow student named Alek, the young man became a Jedi Knight and was a vocal and charismatic critic of the Order's inactivity in the ongoing Mandalorian Wars between the Galactic Republic and the Mandalorian warrior clans. Leading the Revanchist movement in defiance of the Jedi Council's wishes and taking on the name of Revan, the Knight donned the mask of a fallen Mandalorian as he joined the Republic Military's fight and was appointed Supreme Commander. However, when Revan defeated the Mandalorian leader Mandalore the Ultimate at the Battle of Malachor V in 3960 BBY, Revan and his friend Alek, now known as Malak, followed the trail of a mysterious Sith influence on the Mandalorian Wars to the Unknown Regions, where the two discovered a reconstituted Sith Empire and were turned to the dark side of the Force by the Sith Emperor. Sent back to the Republic as advance agents, the newly anointed Dark Lords of the Sith Darth Revan and Darth Malak broke free of the Emperor's mental control and established their own empire with the Star Forge, an ancient space station of great power that had been built by the Rakata species. Using the Star Forge to construct a military fleet and weapons, Revan and Malak waged war against the Republic in the resultant Jedi Civil War. However, Revan was betrayed by his Sith apprentice Malak and was captured by the Jedi Knight Bastila Shan, who saved Revan and formed a Force bond with her captive. In Legends, Revan trained to become a Jedi Knight, but eventually fell to the dark side and become Darth Revan. Eventually, Darth Revan returned to the light side, becoming Revan yet again, and helped definite the Sith Emperor and Empire. With his mind wiped, Revan was given a new identity as a Republic soldier by the Jedi Council and stationed aboard the Republic warship Endar Spire. However, when Malak attacked the Spire above the planet Taris in a failed attempt to capture Shan, Revan joined forces with the Republic officer Carth Onasi and a number of other individuals on Taris to locate Shan and escape the world before Malak destroyed the planet's surface. If you've never played Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, it's a great game and Revan's story in it is excellent. Revan's story in Star Wars: The Old Republic is a ton of fun, and the Star Wars: The Old Republic novel, Revan is super enjoyable and provides even more Revan awesomeness. If you've never played KOTOR or SWTOR, I'd highly recommend both, especially if you're a Darth Revan fan or just think Darth Revan's a cool looking character! Revan's story in Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic is one of my favorites in the game. Revan's backstory in canon, however, isn't anywhere near as robust. Just like in Legends, Revan is an ancient Sith Lord in the current Star Wars canon. Nonetheless, Revan is still worth knowing, and, with the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic due out in the near future, Revan's popularity will only continue to grow. Revan's a badass and I'm hoping that we can get to see more Revan in the future. With the KOTOR remake coming out, there is the possibility that Darth Revan could start to appear in more and more Star Wars stories, and I can't say that I'd be disappointed. Revan's a really fun character, he look's dope, & I'm all for more Revan in the current canon. 

What a time to be a Star Wars fan!
