===Conception and development===
An ancient Sith Lord named Revan was reestablished in the current Star Wars canon with a mention in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker: The Visual Dictionary, a 2019 reference book written by Lucasfilm Story Group member Pablo Hidalgo. The visual dictionary accompanied the film Star Wars: Episode IX The Rise of Skywalker, which were both released on December 20.
Revan was originally introduced in the Star Wars Legends continuity in BioWare and LucasArts's 2003 video game Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic.Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic In Legends, Revan was a Jedi Knight who broke away from the Jedi Order, became a Dark Lord of the Sith, and formed a Sith Empire that waged war against the Order and the Galactic Republic. While experiencing amnesia, the former Sith was retrained as a Jedi to confront the Sith Empire, Revan's own creation. As the playable character of the game, Revan's physical characteristics and gender were customizable by the player for gameplay purposes; the 2005 reference book The New Essential Chronology then established Revan's gender as male and canonized the light-side ending.

====Development====
In 2011, Revan was slated to appear in "Ghosts of Mortis," an episode of the third season of the Star Wars: The Clone Wars television series. Revan would have appeared as a Sith Lord alongside Darth Bane as advisors to the powerful Force wielder known as the Son, but they were ultimately cut from the episode in late production.
The show's director, Dave Filoni, was apprehensive of using the scene, and it was removed at George Lucas' request because Lucas thought Sith Lords existing beyond death or outside of the Force contradicted the established light side aspects and meaning of it, though the idea was acknowledged and it went far into development. Filoni also thought it was cool for Revan to potentially appear in the TV series, along with Bane in some capacity. The scene made it to the animatics stage and can be viewed in the bonus content on the Blu-ray edition of Star Wars: The Clone Wars The Complete Season Three. In this cut scene, Revan was modeled after his Legends appearance.
====The scene====
The cut scene of Revan is set in the Well of the Dark Side on the planet Mortis, where the Son confronts dark-side spirits about the recent death of his sister, the Daughter, at his hands. The spirit voices tell the Son to embrace his pain and resentment, and when he questions their identities, giant apparitions of Darth Bane and Darth Revan appear to the Son, proclaiming their intent to ensure the dark side's supremacy. Speaking of another's existence who will control the galaxy, Revan and Bane warn the Son that control over Anakin Skywalker, the Chosen One, is the key to the Son's success.
