Timeline?

[ElNino]

Dunno if this is the correct place to ask, but here goes.

 

What is the correct timeline for the events taking place during Kotor 1 & 2? How old are Revan?

 

From the in game messages in Kotor 1 we are told something along the lines of" The Mandolorian War ended 4 years ago and should have brought peace to the republic. It didn't."

 

I think I also got this message (also Kotor 1): "2 years ago the Jedi set an ambush for Revan and Malak.." [dont remember the rest].

 

So. Revan heads for war in year X. He is how old? How long does the Mandy War takes?

 

Any thoughts?

[Xard]

Revan is young, that is all that we know

 

For Mandy wars etc. go to Wookiepedia

Go to the LucasArts site on Kotor2. Read through the Chronicles, it gives out detailed information on the timeline.

[ElNino]

Okay I found something:

 

Time frame: 3,961 - 3,956 B.B.Y.

In this period we have the culmination of the Mandalorian War, the return of Revan as conquer and the attack lead by Bastila.

 

Weird stuff: The Star Forge is not mentioned once here. Only Malachor V as being the source of Revans dark side power.

 

Weird stuff: "Rather than helping his Master, DARTH MALAK lets the Jedi drag Revan from the throne after attempting a mind-wipe which was only partially successful. Returning to the Council with a comatose Revan..." Not exactly what happens in the game.

 

Weird stuff: Revan is confirmed as being male and is also referred to as Master Revan. I though we was a knight.

 

So. What do we have timeline speaking?

 

In 3,956 B.B.Y. Revan is captured and in 3,956 B.B.Y. Malak is defeated. Then I don't know where I got the two years in between from.

 

The period afterwards is very brief.

[Xard]

Well, IT IS the chronicles...

K2 starts 5 years after end of K1 and JCW

I thought this was a good work on Revan. here

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

... two years? they're the same year!

[The Yeti of 66]

Chronicles have quite a number of discrepancies....

[Purgatorio]

How long after Exar Kun did people think it safe to send their offspring to the Jedi?

So how old could Revan and Exile be?

[Xard]

There is whole year between Revan's capture and beginning of k1

 

Still, it is the Chronicles

Edited September 19, 2006 by Xard

[Purgatorio]

It said something like a year in the game as well...

[Xard]

I referred to Carth's "That was a year ago" etc. (can't remember what then came, something like that things haven't improved) when talking with him about subject at Taris

[Purgatorio]

I think I was referring to the load screens and the opening crawler.

 

I was looking through the time line on Wookiepedia and found some oddities.

NOTE: to save my sanity I have left out "BBY" Before Battle of Yavin.

I shall start at the begining. :D

 

13,700,000,000. The Big Bang. (It does say that).

7,500,000. The first sentient species evolved.

999,989. Records were first made but are indecipherable by modern historians.

499,989. By this time most sentient species have records that are decipherable by modern historians.

49,000. The Rakata establish Infinite Empire.

34,000. It says that the Rakata ceases to exist as a galactic power....

30,000. Infinite Empire, the Stare Forge was built.....

28,000. The Sith Adas conquers his home world of Korriban, rules for 300 years and dies in battle ridding Korriban of the Rakata.

27,500. Alderaan colonized by humans.

25,970. Rakatan Empire collapses.

25,000. The Republic was founded. <_<

24,500. The First Great Schism, Jedi turning to Sithies. (w00t) Hurray! (w00t)

 

EDIT (snip!)

It doesn't say when Revan, Bastilla, Malak, or Exile were born....For perspective Ulic Qel-Droma Born 4018- 3986.

 

4,014. Canderous Ordo born.

3,994. Carth Onassi born.

3,976. Visa Marr Brianna and Dispimple,(sic) born.

3,974. Mira born.

3,970. Mission Vao born.

Note: I draw your attention to this early, Juhani is apparently younger than Mission....

 

3,965. Mandalorian War begins.

3,963. Juhani born on Cathar Mandalorians attack Cathar. Revan Malak, Exile, and other Jedi leave to fight.

3,961. Exhange driven off Taris...Juhani freed.

3,960. Mandalorian War ends, Exile exiled, and Revan and Malak go :poof: and disapperate into the dark and scawy unknown.

3,959. Revan becomes Sith Lord, Sith War begins. Malak bombs Telos....(Carth becomes Hyperdrive.)

3,957. Revan captured.

3,956. Taris bombed, Jedi Cival War ends. (Note: it says "Sith war ends" on Wookiepedia.) Sith Cival War begins.

3,955. Revan goes poof again. Sith Civil War ends, Jedi Purge begins....(They make me want to purge), Kriea stripped off power and title of teh Sith Lord.

3,952. Destruction of Kattar, Visas becomes Sith.

3,951. Kotor 2. Exile goes poof.

 

I doubt that helps...

Why use BBY if the Republic was founded so long ago...what idiot came up with that idea? <_<

Edited September 25, 2006 by Purgatorio

[Xard]

Well, BBY is natural choice. Would've it been better if it was "before first SW movie"? :D

 

Source?

[Purgatorio]

BBY is Blah Blah Yadda Yadda the last Yadda is silent thus not BBYY. :D

Why not the beginning of the Republic or the birth of Anikan. Jeebus. NO!

Source. Worcestershi..... Um I mean Wookiepedia "BBY/ABY Timeline"

Yay! $))!!!11

Edited September 25, 2006 by Purgatorio

[Xard]

Well, Wookiepedia aren't all knowing. I mean, Juhani younger than Mission

[Dark_Raven]

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

Mission is younger than Juhani.

[Xard]

Indeed

 

I referred to Purgatorio's timeline

[Purgatorio]

Not my timeline.

We know from the game that Mission was 14 when Taris was bombed by Malak.Link

Here is the Juhani one.Link

So Juhani was 2 when she was freed from the Exchange, I thought she would have been at least 16.

By that wiki she would be 7 when Malak bombed Taris.

[Xard]

In other words: No one knows how old Juhani really is, but some ****ed up fanboy put that "date"

[Dark_Raven]

Those damned fanbois. How dare they.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Bastila is five years older than Mission and 19 by KOTOR. Mission is 14 and obviously not older than Juhani{ 2 year olds don't have good memory. You lose your memory before 3 when you turn three.} Mira is still a teenager by KOTOR2. In a word that timeline is screwed.

[James Dunn]

Its true the people in the Star Wars Universe would not setup a calender based on the battle of Yavin.

 

Better candidates would be:

 

A. The start if the Republic

 

B. The start of the Empire - no doubt because of the desire to keep ppl under control

 

C. The Fall of the Empire and start of the new Republic - an effert to undo anything of the Empire

[Xard]

Duh, this "calender" is used in real world, not in SW universe <_<

[Purgatorio]

^ Because the Battle of Yavin might not have happened yet.
