I love Revan and most of his pre SWTOR Arc, but i never understood why he is widely considered this powerful.
He is described as a tactical Genius, a quick Learner who really wants to master the Force in all its shapes. His greatest Strength is his abillity to create Force bondings. He is also described as not really believing in the dogmas of neither the sith or jedi. All cool Feats for a likeable character. But i never saw or read things like pulling a stardestroyer from the sky or something like that.

If I put all the lore of how powerful Revan was I'd be here all day long typing... So, look for yourself please, just type his name and look for his entry in Wookiepedia. And before ToR he was canonically light sided... ToR just made the favor of screwing up the most beloved character in SW videogames... I honestly hope they fix this canonically with the KotOR Remake.

Darth Traya described Revan as looking at the force itself, so he had to be somewhat powerful

Or... it could be a snail telling a turtle he is fast.

Make him a Sith.

Didn’t Traya plan to essentially “kill” the force? I think she was a bit more powerful than a snail is fast.

Prepare to be let down OP.

Don't worry if you have been playing long enough you will know he will be a let down. Also he won't be anywhere as powerful as a GL. They have to protect those and change certain kits so people can't use a non GL team to kill a GL team.

He will certainly have an omicron ability. They'll make him GL level power, but only in 1 game mode - I'd guess GAC.

This might not happen with Starkiller but I strongly suspect it's going to be the way forward for new characters who should be awesomely powerful but would be game-breaking if they made them as powerful as they shou;d be. Omicrons are going to be the solution.

The best plan is to wait and see. Four brand new marques with the event in a month is pretty much a paywall in itself.

I'm sure many whales will spend $300 per marque and then complain if he's not amazing.

Most likely all this will happen before the kit reveal. If you rush to buy the new shiny without knowledge, I have no sympathy when your disappointed. It has happened before with many similar releases. Most recently the bando journey. The character ended up being useful (definitely needed for executor fleet and a pretty good team under maul). But by the time they were useful, you could have him ftp easily.

Now without starkiller being a GL, I don't see how he'll be useful enough to drop enough $ or hoarded crystals in the most inefficient way possible (getting marque stars quickly). Gone are the days of a marque changing the arena meta.

Starkiller is obviously meant to be to LV what Malak was to DR. Wouldnt surprise me if he completely shuts down JMK, forcing people to panic farm LV and Maul. Not sure how many people are willing to spend 1200$ on him though, seems like a lot.
