Any game play mechanics should have no place in a discussion about who would win in a duel between Revan and the Exile. A design choice made by BioWare in the first game most likely was not done looking forward to the fact that the Exile was going to be allowed surpassing level. 20. And if you want to get into how the game played, thinking the exile was stronger, think about which game was harder, Malak was ten times harder than Nihlius, OR Kreia, and Revan took him down, obviously the greater challenge and therefore the greater reward would be to Revan. Let us put these pointless arguments out of our minds. With that out of the way, we can bring to the table a few clarifications and facts about both these characters. The exile is said to be a wound in the force. Kreia said when she looks at him/her she sees the death of the force. Revan on the other hand, presuming you are playing a light side character, is the heart of the force. This leaves both characters at opposite ends of a spectrum, one able to kill the force, the other able to create it with incredible power. In my opinion any arguments for either being the heart or death of the force leave us in a quandary, so they should be put off to the side. In the Madalorian Wars, Revan was the clear leader, and Malak his right hand man. The Exile was a general in this army, but nonetheless a general, obviously lower than both these Jedi. And it ended up Revan destroying Malak either way. There was no mention of any other incredible warriors, perhaps because of the character

Listen, that guy was right. KOTOR is Revan. Even in a game that he made a single, spiritual, 15 second appearance in, Revan was the main focus of events. Granted, the Exile represents a force at the opposite end of the spectrum from Revan: he/she was able to turn away from the force, and is surviving such a thing, tore a hole in his/hers soul. A hole that could very well represent the death of the force. And what kind of war is going to be fought against the True Sith? Not a war of matter or flesh, but a war of belief and the force itself. What better way to destroy an enemy like that than with the power to kill the force itself. Not to contradict myself, but the Exile is an important part of the KOTOR universe, otherwise the character would not have been created, and I refuse to beleive in any way that then next developer will move on from both these characters and give them an unjust end. It would not be right. I'd personally bomb their homes. I'm joking please don't have me arrested. Now back to the topic at hand, with the props to the importance of the Exile given, KOTOR is a epic about Revan, perhaps one of the most attachable characters in video game history. The Exile journies to FIND Revan. All throughout the story of the game, references are made to Revan tremendous struggles, what he learned of the force, what he accomplished in his fall to the darkest depths of the galaxy, and how his redemption changed the galaxy...or hers...or perhaps not? No matter what your choices in part I or II of KOTOR, lack of technology will not be accepted by the true Star Wars fans for a reason as to why a just and suitable ending will not be brought to our beloved characters, saviors or tyrants. Revan left the galaxy he had forged in his palm to face an evil greater than anything anyone had ever thought possible. It became the Exile's destiny to follow him. In my heart I know Revan still fights that war, and the Exile will join him. With these two Jedi Masters, and their mastery of the Jedi Bond, imagine the power of a bond between them...It sends shivers up my geeky, curved spine. KOTOR is a story of Revan, the original character of the game, and KOTOR II became in essence the bridge between that and a hopefull closing third game. The Exile has also proved to be of great importance to Revan's cause. To the galaxy's cause. He is himself a weapon that may be able to stop the forces of the True Sith. Or dominate them. Either way it will be done through the leadership of Revan, for he is the mightiest force in galaxy. His power, his leadership, his will. None can be denied. Personally, my dream is that Revan and the Exile will join forces. If any should die it should be through the power of the death of the force, through the Exile, but in a perfect world, the two powers would unite, bond, and fight off the threat they were born to face. To me, anything less would not be Star Wars. And the fans have gone through enough dissapointment in the last few years to rightfully have to suffer through any more dissapointments. It's time we got our heros. Or our villians. And it's time we they were presented to us, fully and beatifully, like in KOTOR I. The Devs should recognize, if nothing else, there is a limit to how far you can push people around...Until eventually they learn their lesson, and are gone for good.
