Should Revan have an "official" face/storyline?

[KOTORFanactic]

Well, i hav an idea for a Revan/KOTOR movie.

Unfortunately, my idea prevents a release at the cinema, and will only work on dvd, but here me out.

 

Instead of an official face/storyline, it is done just like the game. You choose the face, gender etc.

You do not choose the dialogue, and what happens in the story up to the point on top of the Rakatan temple.(unfortunate, but neccesary) but you do choose whether your character becomes lightside and darkside on top of that temple.

 

Doubt a KOTOR movie will ever be done, but if one is done, this might help them out.

Sort of semi-on-topic, with Lucas announcing that the SW franchise will probably move into television in 2006, which era do you guys think this will occur in?

 

Do you see a KOTOR-era show? Personally, I don't know if KOTOR-era would be that interesting as a television show. I don't know if the "Jedi-Sith" battle translates well to the small screen.

[Nur Ab Sal]

GL will probably make a spin-off between EIII and EIV.

[KOTORFanactic]

Well, if KOTOR becomes small screen tv series, i am guessing they would have to make each episode about 2 hours long to make it effective, much like the old Sharpe series on ITV. (no longer showing, as i said, old series)

That seems to be the popular consensus.

 

If done right, that could actually be interesting if the show portrayed how the Rebellion was actually born, and the early days of its fight against the growing Empire.

For all those of you who are in need of an official profile for Revan - this is as close to an official profile as I could get, avoiding all the LS/DS and male/female questions... it

[Fearless_Jedi]

Revan already has an official "face" you know the robe w/ hood up and mask on, I know it is a fairly dark sider apperance but LS Revan could wear something similar.

[Ameorn]

I'm not talking about the game. In the game, you can pick whatever you want, sure. But I'm talking about the official Star Wars universe. Otherwise, he WON'T HAVE a story. Wonder why he's not in the Star Wars databank?

 

Maybe because he didn't become famous. Just in the game, and not inthe Stars Wars "official" universe like you said. Just my guess. Or it's just too hard to make a character that won't upset everybody but a few.

 

I mean, everybody has his/her own Revan made up in their minds. So they chose not to make Revan official like thay did with Malak.

Personally, i wouldn't mind how they made Revan as long as he gets a site just like Malak, he deserves it much more than Malak does.

[DSLuke]

They can always create him with a mask.

 

Maybe he aqcuired some breathing problems (see Vader).

Only with the model with in built voice package <_<

 

But it would be quite original hehe.....

[Chi`ara]

Heck no! There were like 16 or so possible "Revan faces" in KOTOR, two genders, and several possible outcomes to the end-game. What's the point of "Choose your path" only to later have it chosen for you?

[Delerius_Jedi]

No way. The cool thing about KOTOR was that you were able to craft the story, and influence your character. I'd hate to lose that, though with all the different faces in KOTOR it would be hard to see how this would be implemented.

 

I mean: How is KOTOR2 going to know what face I used for my Revan?

 

Hmm...this adds a whole other layer of speculation to the whole thing.

[Laozi]

I won't mind if that happen five or ten years from now I guess. In all though I have many reservations about video games being an offical part of the EU. In that case Kyle Katarn, and Rosh Penin are "offical" star wars characters and both of them are freaking weak.

 

I know some idiot will try to debate the merits of Katarn, but face it, lame character

[maia]

Official face could be the one in the mask . And they could say that Darth Revan was a deeply mysterious character and that no records of Revan's true identity survived, so that not only the gender is uncertain, but also the date of death, because there are rumours of Revan being seen afterwards and taking part in Malak's defeat.

Wow Arachne, great great work...

 

except the last line

An era where Revan was celebrated throughout the galaxy.

I don't think the word "celebrating" is so much dark side...is it? :D

[Darth Jebus]

It would be hard to make Revan official. For all the reasons already mentioned here. But, I suppose, one way you could do it, would be to have Revan be somesort of an enigma. Like, the Dark Lord without a face or something. To some Revan was female and to others Revan was male. But no one ever really knew. Revan had kind of a secret identity or something, which kind of added to his or her status as more of a legend than anything else.

 

The Star Wars databank could basically describe Revan as one of the most mysterious Sith Lords ever to reign over the Sith Empire. The only people knowing Revan's exact identity were a few reclusive Jedi Masters on Dantooine that trained him and subsequently died in Malak's attack, and of course Malak and Bastila.

 

This would add to the mystery of what happened to Revan after the Mandalorian Wars. For the sake of just having a little fun, you could say that many people never believed that the Revan that left the Republic in pursuit of the retreating Mandalorians as a hero, was the same Revan that returned with his or her face covered completely, and wearing a cape and hood as a conqueror. Many people would suspect that Revan was simply killed and someone else returned with the name Darth Revan. And maybe Lord Revan's voice was always kind of whispery so you couldn't really tell what the gender was.

 

As to the whole resurrection thing, the same argument would apply. "Someone claiming to be the former Dark Lord Revan, rose up against Malak and the Sith and destroyed the Star Forge." Or, "Someone has now re-assumed the title of Darth Revan, Dark Lord of the Sith and is now ruling the Sith Empire."

 

This kind of plays into the beginning of KOTOR 2, where your character along with Atton Rand only know what happend between Revan and Malak through rumors. Even though this does effect how the game ultimately unfolds, most people don't seem to know what happened to Revan and have only heard about him or her through news and whispers. Revan, in this regard, is more like Spawn than anything else. Something that was definitely out there but ever shrouded in mystery.

 

Also, remember your conversation with Yathura Ban on Korriban? If you did Korriban last you have this great exchange with her where you can ask her what she knows of Darth Revan. Yathura says that she doesn't really know much about Revan. When you ask her ironically, "So you wouldn't know Revan if you met him/her?" To which Yathura replies, "Well, Revan was known for wearing a mask and hood. There's no telling what's beneath that mask." Or something to that effect. Also, remember NO SITH that you encounter on Korriban believes you when you try to warn them and say, "Look, fool, step off. I'm Darth Revan." Most people, students and troops alike, just challenge you anyway. So, most Sith don't even know Revan's true identity.

 

A few people believe you later, but they are far and few in between.

 

Now, of course there are ENORMOUS HOLES in that suggestion but it might be some place to start if the powers that be over in the Lucas Empire were serious about canonizing Revan.

 

But I'm just being stupid.

Can

[SilentSentinel7]

Well there's that and the reason I liked being revan so much he/she was under a hood the entire time! was revan male or female? no one knows! there's a whole mysteriousness to Revan well I've ran outta quarters so there's my two cents :cool: flame me if ya don't agree lol

[ben_thuggin]

Revan should be a male Guardian. I mean, he was always the most powerful jedi, and guardian was the best class in the game.

[Aspid]

This is only your opinion. IMO Consular is at least as good as guardian and there's no reason to said male is better than female.

 

Give Revan an official face and characteristics would alienate many people. Think for a moment that they decide made Revan a charismatic female consular. Do you think you would be happy with this?

To Nur Ad Sal

 

 

Revans age is at least in his early to mid twentys your whole thing about the padawan becomes a knight at 20 dosent apply. Remember Reavan was said to be a prodigy by all the Masters so its assumed that he reached that title much earlier than the normal jedi.

 

And about him being not on Anakins level on the battle field, well as Canderous and others said he single handedly turned the entire war around and killed Mandalor personally.

 

 

BTW this is my first post...
