Huvan

I agree. Revan was very cool and one of my favorites of all SW. But how could you not forsee your apprentice betraying you. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> well it IS the way of the Sith to betray their master eventually but it could be because Revan was too focused on the war against the Jedi Council because he never saw the Republic as a threat which was mentioned in KOTOR2 btw Revan's intentions was never to control the galaxy for his own purposes but to prevent a greater evil from taking over as Kreia mentioned. though i think he had his hood because as Kreia mentioned, that he might never have truly fallen to the dark side, bcos ur face will get all messed up if ur DS. so the True Sith out there would think that the galaxy was being led by an evil ruler and not a good one which they of course despise and do somethin about which he couldnt allow which is why he became the Dark Lord in the first place =P but perhaps Revan foresaw Malak's betrayal and allowed it to happen because he knew he'd have to leave everything behind in order to go into the Unknown Regions in order to fight against the True Sith and maybe because he realized that his followers were too much DS to create a peaceful galaxy under his rule or because he knew of the danger the Star Forge posed to him, bcos he DID study the Rakatans history and how the Star Forge caused them to lose their connection to the Force and turn on each other but i think that Revan was in fact a master of Potentium like Jolee so people wouldnt know which side he was on, like Kreia. Not only was he a genius on strategic warfare which none of the Echani has never achieved btw but also for the creation of HK-47 :D and oh yeah Kreia also said that it may have been somethin that threatened his home in the Unknown Regions which made him go out there sidious however only had to issue a command to the clone army and the creation of the clone army had been planned for several years and by that jedi master what-ever-his-name-was-maybe-sidious-in-his-younger-days so they could kill the pathetically weak jedi and he couldnt even defeat mace windu and never really showed any other skill than Force Lighting which could be repelled with lightsiber and preyed on anakins arrogance & interest in what the DS could do and if it would bring them more power and just crushed every resistance with his army pretty much like malak. but Revan however held the galaxy in his grasp within mere months even though the republic was fighting and dying and still not being considered a threat bcos the real battle was between the jedi and the converted jedi was probably recruiting them in order to fight the True Sith even though he probably killed them all when in his conquest to defeat Malak and free the galaxy and return to the Unknown Regions.
