I think I saw you post something like that a while back, yeah. Could do with some more originality, IMO. Splitting Revan apart for a cliché story ending (and turning him into a maniac on the Imperial side) pretty much ruins his character. What made him unique was his ability to achieve a balance between war and peace, transcend nothingness as the darkness takes him, and become a better tactician than even Thrawn. I will confess I liked his new look and voice, but if they were going to do something like that, they should have preserved it for a KotOR III or IV and not split him apart or made him mentally flawed.

I just realized a horrible truth: Darth Nihilus and Darth Sion have been ripped off to ruin two other unique characters--Vitiate (The Emperor) and Revan. My reasoning? Vitiate > Nihilus: Well, let's see. He can transcend the physical realm, he wants to eat the galaxy, and he created a device called the "Ravager" in the Sith Warrior story. Revan > Darth Sion: To make my point undeniable, I'm going to reference Revan's (gag) light side half: "You've carried on, dragging the remains of a body that should have long since faded to dust. Hatred fueled cunning, but burned out all wisdom. Without me, you could not see." Sigh.
