A response to an angry viewer: I’m not sure I follow your rant - it might make sense if SWC was the ONLY Revan source material, but it’s not - I have a Star Wars: Revan playlist into which I’ve dumped about 75 episodes that deal directly with Revan, and another 30 or so where he’s ancillary. My point - Revan’s a complex character, and no single episode is going to capture all that nuance. If you’re looking for a Revan outline or biography, go to the fandom websites - they’re excellent. But if you’re looking for episodes that deal with Revan’s personality, his take on the Force, and content creator’s reactions from dozens of different perspectives, then go collect all these episodes and dig in. More importantly, be prepared to read hundreds of viewer’s comments, because it’s THOSE that define Revan. How we, the fans, choose to interpret the character is what makes a character great; in the character analysis for Revan, it’s our comments that have made Revan a favorite. Now, to SWC’s episode, if you view it as one of dozens of perspectives, you’ll appreciate his presentation of Darth Revan - which is difficult, as there’s simply not much material ‘out there’s that deals specifically about this. But that doesn’t mean there isn’t anything to write - indeed, just the opposite. By using artistic license and tackling the subject from different, sometimes nebulous, angles, we are given rational perspectives on what a Darth Revan might think and how he might behave. And by noting how he actually thinks and behaves, differently than what we expect, we can begin to appreciate his character’s complexity. Viewing SWC’s episode in this way, maybe you can appreciate the effort he’s made. Look, as I’ve indicated, there is a LOT of Revan material out there - some of it’s good, some not so good, some average, and some, like SWC’s episode, is excellent. The general episodes can be helpful, but in the end don’t foster a lot of thought and conversation - one in particular, literally, word for word, created an episode by reading directly from the fandom website…interesting, if you’ve not read the fandom sketch, but not really helpful in teasing out a Revan character analysis. But SWC took a different approach, choosing a specific aspect (Darth Revan) of Revan’s biography, and expanding on it. This is not simple; it’s not a serial, step-by-step description. It’s an all-encompassing analysis that sometimes requires a lot of background to draw a fairly simple conclusion. For example, we all know Revan wants to be gray, and that he goes on this journey that everyone on the Light Side says is impossible, and all on the Dark Side despise. But in order to understand what makes Revan unique, to tease out what’s within his Holocron, and what sets him above (at least to me) other Force users, SWC has to - HAS TO - go into detail about the Light and Dark staus quo. Only then does Revan’s uniqueness become obvious. This isn’t easy, and if you’re not appreciative of the literary technique, maybe it comes off as a bit scattered. And you’re probably correct when you mentioned needing to know a few things prior to watching this video. But, fairly or unfairly, most of us already do, and we’re not wanting to view simply another character synopsis - we want something deeper than that. At any rate, I think SWC has done an excellent job at focusing on a sliver of Revan (granted, a large sliver) and expanded on it, exploring it thoroughly from multiple directions. This is what SWC’s audience wants; just read the comments and conversations for proof. The better ones are as complex as the episode! If this deeper analysis isn’t what you like, SWC is probably correct - his isn’t the channel for you. But I’d wager it will be, especially if you get sucked in to the Revan character. I’m not saying you’ll get bored with other channels, because every perspective helps paint a character. But eventually you’re going to want more depth; then you’ll be back.

This is more of a rant than what I wrote. I really the think the problem is in the title. ' The FULL story of Darth Revan or anyone starts at birth and ends at death. Don't shirk your responsibilities. Your title is misleading. You provided here more of a large information dump. It is in no way the Full story of DARTH REVAN explained. I'm sure everyone worked hard and long on this but that means nothing if you don't produce your labeled product. My poke about the being more of a review of game is because you use their cut scenes over and over and over.. I appreciate you all working hard. But it has to produce! If not all your hard work is just that work. Work doesn't mean you'll accomplish your goal just because of all the hard work you did. Frankly who cares when producing a product for public consumption. We really worked hard so it must be awesome is for children. In the real world results not effort moves you forward. The title should be Everything you could ever find on Darth Revan, compilation. Boom 💥 done I have no complaints That's what you're claiming this is. I don't have the knowledge to refute that nor do I think it's wrong. Accent capitalization was used to pull in more people. It's a jumbled up mess of information from all over the place. Not put together canonically correct in a story. It isn't a story. It's an informative dump poorly labeled. Why are you the customer posting a ridiculous rant over a paragraph I wrote that was 100% factual. Why you wanted me to really put you on blast instead of SWC. IDK,? But 💥 boom there you go. Don't blame me for SWC reaching to far and turning all that HARD work into click bait. This is not a story for the last time it's just an info dump on Revan. Which is a lot easier work than creating a story. A story has a beginning, a middle, and an end. It usually starts with their origin and ends in their death or "retirement" for lack of a better term. If the title was changed my complaint no longer exists. I settled in for the tale of Lord Revan and I got a hard to follow information drop. I got no story. Now his is more of a rant too BTW. And who wrote your rant back to me ? It's someone's Mom SWC? It's sounds like someone else is telling me how bad I should feel because there perfect little angel wrote it. Grow up. Learn the real world. You try to trick someone with misleading information. You get called out now. You try to defend someone for misleading behavior it's either SWC themselves but I think someone's Mommy. If you want people to think they wrote a story from all the lore. The Full story of LORD REVAN but provided no story. It's click bait. Or information drop at best. Then you some stranger actually rant at me with misused large words still trying to defend someone you don't know? . Why can't you just be real with yourself. SWC messed up , got called out, and now some "reader" now posts a true rant about what i said? Doesn't make sense. So you're either a loser or one of the people at SWC's mothers. Why act as if SWC delivered a masterpiece here, lol? Why such a staunch defense of strangers? Somebody's Mom at SWC wrote this I knew it 😆

I've been reflecting on the Jedi code for decades and I've come to believe their teachings concerning passion is flawed. Individuals must have controlled passion. That is passion, without hate, malice or anger. It must be passion for a purpose. To fuel one's talents, whatever they maybe, so as to aid either a person, people or a society. Without passion to fuel, one eventually stagnates and peters out until they are but a shell of what they were. Then the true danger arises for in that shell, bitterness, loathing and the dark side can gain momentum until the promising individual who lacked passion is consumed. So passion must be cultivated but also the young must be given the tools to control that passion so it fuels but does not consume.

I believe I heard somewhere Revan attacked Malak and chopped off his lower jaw after Malak decided to decimate Telos' surface without Revan's knowledge or direct command. Revan was so furious because of the unnecessary destruction act by his apprentice that he almost killed him. It was one of the moments that point to Revan's indecisiveness about his own allegiance to the dark side, where he saw how terrible person Malak became while being consumed by the dark side. That attack on Telos is the same one in which Carth Onasi' wife died and lost track of his son Dustil. As I said, it's just a story I heard somewhere a long time ago but am still being reminded of it while watching your video. Great work btw!

I was led to believe Revan chose the dark side vs falling to the dark side like Malak did. It was explained as Revan seeing Lord Viciate and deciding the galaxy had no chance of surviving if Viciate returned to the galaxy with his version of the sith. So Revan, fully aware and cognitive, decided to embrace the dark side so that Revan could mold the sith into a less evil version of what Viciate had planned. More or less he turned to the dark side so that he could save the galaxy from destruction at the hands of Viciate. It would also make sense since Revan limited his use of the Star Forge so he wouldn't become corrupt from using it. I believe that is one of the things Malak disagreed with Revan on was use of the Star Forge as Malak used it much more often then Revan did. (I'll link the video I watched on it if i find it)

As much as some may claim SWTOR and the novel ruined Revan, I disagree, I think it undeniably ruined his counterpart protagonist of the second KoTOR, Meetra Surik. It is so disappointing what they did to her character, after having such an in-depth story and background filled with so much emotion and tragedy, only to be reduced to a Revan fangirl and being stabbed in the back by an ally, as if the General of the Mandalorian Wars isn't fucking alert enough to know when something is amiss and would never expect betrayal from a SITH PUREBLOOD, bruh get the fuck out of here with that bullshit. Revan is the face of SWTOR, he is the Lennon of the Old Republic era, Meetra is unjustly treated as the Ringo.

@luckygayextraaaa Жыл бұрын

Meetra was killed in novels, swtor (as a game) just tried to salvage it for I would say happy end :D all things considered. When I played shadow of revan, i felt they shouldnt bring him back, but later in ethernal empire it made sense and i really liked it. Sadly that game wasnt really that popular, but it had so many great characters and great storylines. I am glad videos like these exists that summarise at least some stories for people who didnt put countless hours into that game :D

@wintertrooper7918 Жыл бұрын

Are you joking? They made it clear in the book that there was no way Meetra would have been able to sense that change because it wasn't something that Scourge had plotted or anything the man had a force vision that showed a jedi knight (the one in SWTOR) defeating the sith emperor so Scourge made a split second decision based on Revan's own comments

@ronjon7942 4 күн бұрын

Hmm, yeah, I have to agree - at least regarding Meetra Surik. Every time I read about her decision to carry out Revan’s orders with a nod, it makes me lose respect for the Council for turning the lass into the Jedi Exile. And every time I think of her Force self staying with Revin, out of loyalty, instead of joining with the supposed Light Side makes me lose respect for the Light Side practitioners - or perhaps faulting them for their flawed interpretation of The Force. She gets a bad rap, but at least she has our respect. It’s too bad Revan’s reforms didn’t stick since we seem to have goody2shoes Skywalker now, at the modern present. I’m hopeful that Surik and Revan will someday live on to bring the Force into a gray reality. I personally can’t stand Skywalker, but the best thing I heard him admit was that the Jedi Order (and their Force interpretation) has done nothing but bring chaos into the galaxy.

@@AbsurdFalcon Bleh. Given the fact that his 'balance' utterly and completely failed, if he's a chosen one, he's just as much a failure as Revan in bringing balance to the force. Luke has a better claim to the title than Anakin, and even then, he'd still be a failed messiah in both continuities, EU and Disney. Anakin's only real 'claims' come from a few cartoons and comics that only a small niche of people actually watched, and they have very little, if any, impact on the actual plot of the movies (aka the main story). If you hold main story of Revan side by side with the main story of Anakin, the biggest difference in terms of how special they are is that one character was declared a prophesized messiah because of a damn blood anomaly and the other wasn't. Like seriously. Take away the story with the Mortis Gods and it just becomes a bunch of old Jedi harping on about nonsense that's never proven true in any way beyond he threw an evil old wizard into a hole because he couldn't stand the sight of his son being tortured. Oooh, big woop, you killed a big bad sith lord, it isn't like they'll just come back again in a century or less like they always do because the Force is either actively malevolent, astoundingly stupid, or isn't intelligent at all and the idea that the Force has some sort of guiding intelligence is literally just the characters in-setting anthromorphising it. Viewed objectively, the whole 'chosen one bringing balance to the force' idea was some of the worst things we ever got from the prequels, and them being confirmed by the Mortis story arc is so wrong headed and dumb in terms of the overall quality of the narrative that the more I think about it the more it makes me dislike the prequels. Like, if it had been a genuine false prophecy, it could have been a cool plot point, but come on.

As you well know, she has mastered both sides of the Force, trained the most powerful individuals of her era, and has a philosophy and outlook on the Force that’s far different from anyone who lived before or after her.

Revan is probably my favorite Star Wars character ever, which is a really big reason why I want a Knights of the Old Republic series. He doesn’t fall under any category, but I’d best categorize him as a Gray Jedi. He ended up being one of the most powerful force users.

The star forge and the foundry are 2 separate things. The foundry makes a droid army. The Star Forge is a ship yard, any droids it makes are for defence. There is an optional quest on Nar Shada in Star Wars The Old Republic where it is hinted at a third device that can make planets or star systems and maybe even hole galaxies and the player can collect a piece of it and it is said it would take thousands of years to make functional again.

@SWCentral Жыл бұрын

They were all part of the same technology. The Star Forge / Foundry can be referred to as the same thing. They do the same things in essence and trying to explain the differences without anything concrete to confirm it, isn't something I want to do. - I also wanted to add some more info around Revans mask / The Star forge robes, but these things are all discussed at length in other people videos. This video, specifically focuses on Revan and his life. If we ever make a "Star Forge" explained, then i'll certainly dive into details and explain best I can. Other than that, I hope you enjoyed the video! (Bioware also had Malgus use Rakatan technology, which we were told is from the Star Forge. Which is how his Arkis Wode achieved the stealth tech and how HK was rebuilt)

Fairly new to SW, and I prolly digested the stories of about fifty characters before stumbling on Revan - he instantly became my favorite without even really realizing why, at the time. It’s exhausting having a favorite character and then watching videos about that character. Every time something significant is brought up, I have to head over to the fandom sites and research THAT particular topic - which in turn takes me on its own multi-rabbit hole ride. This, and now consider I have a Revan playlist with about 75-100 videos in it! Maybe by the time I waft through them all, I’ll start writing my own stories of his carrying-ons.

I alway’s like Darth Revan’s character (not Player Revan cause idk the character/personality). I believe what make’s the character good is that the decision’s Darth Revan made were alway’s Darth Revan’s own. Darth Revan’s mind was twist by the Sith Emperor (Vitiate), his influence of Darth Revan’s faded (I think) and Darth Revan remembered there being a threat in the Unknown Region’s and went on to destroy and rebuild the Republic. He kept the infastructure (misspelling) intact. During the Mandalorian Wars, from what I hear, Darth Revan was more concern of victory of war and wasn’t concern of morality. It seem’s Darth Revan was alway’s true to Darth Revan, self belief of what is right. That’s what I like of Darth Revan, it was not teaching’s, circumstance’s or example it was Darth Revan. I think I said Darth Revan x11 and Player Revan x1.

@SWCentral 4 күн бұрын

Logically, the only way they *could* know is if somehow Revan and Malak left a clue that those mandos picked up on. Could be navigational charts, a rumour... Perhaps there was a witness who saw Revan and Malak previously on the world and then sold that information to the right buyer.

Ya, except that would go against his character. I don’t think he’d waste a planet and its population for the sake of his own power, regardless of whether or not he could justify it for the greater good. However, it would have made a good story if he could have manipulated the Mass Shadow Generator and the destruction of Malakor V to add to his power…rather than spawning Dark Nihlous instead.

I'm halfway through and loving it so far. Some questions. Why didn't Revan and Malak not signal the council before going after the sith? Also if both forgot about the emperor why stay on the dark side and not rejoin the light?

@SWCentral Жыл бұрын

Well they went on the search for the Sith right after beating Mandalore and winning the war. So while some people such as Meetra returned to the council, Revan and Malak alone went in search of the dark side influence. Well, the reason they didn't simply "break free" was because the Emperor turned them and corrupted them, as he did with many Jedi including some masters. Revan and Malak however, were able to twist the emperors instructions and make it seem like they were their own choices. It's a wierd and complex point in the story as it's meant to cover a plot hole I guess. Because you would otherwise be right in thinking they should have returned to being light sided jedi. But it wasn't that simple at least not for Revan. He used and mastered the dark to only save the galaxy.

@The-Blue-Knight Жыл бұрын

@@The-Blue-Knight Totally! I could imagine the jedi council being interested in the information. Seeing as it came from mandalore himself as well. Defo agree. I guess the plot was needed more than the council xD - there are quite a few things that need clarifying on Revan, he's been in so many different pieces of content that connecting the dots is sometimes left to imagination. SWTOR does a good job of continuing Revans story, but it kinda ruins the lore of the book imo or at least some of it. I'm hoping people will be pleased with the "version" we have given, it feels the most appropriate!

A next-best outcome would be for these same true fan film houses license the SW franchise to create aforementioned content. There’s a reason I stopped watching any films after 30min into Solo. Frankly, I’d have been happy stopping after TESB, but I was young…. I just thank God so many fans expanded on the OTR universe, as it has so much to offer.

It's actually both! - See, The Emperor did corrupt Malak and Revan, however both of them managed to break free of his control but in doing so, lost all memory of the Sith.

This is what Kriea was talking about.
