I swear to God every other day some guy on youtube who plays this game or some comment in this forum or reddit is asking for Revan to be brought in the game. I seriously don't get it. I mean Revan is cool but by no means cooler than some of the other Jedi and sith Lords of the old. Why do people have such a massive obsession with him? You never hear people ask for Bane, who is canon btw, or ask for Sion, or Traya or any of these guys, it's always Revan for some reason.But regardless of this Revan madness who can people ask for a character that is simply out of place for this era that the game is based on? Like when did Revan meet Han Solo or Anakin Skywalker? Why can't people understand that you can bring a guy from 3000 years prior to the events of this game. This game has nothing to do with the days of the old republic and the mandalorian wars. I understand that adding darth Nihilus violates that but we all know that Nihilus had a purpose. First of all they had to give the sith, Maul meta a push and some diversity cause there were no options, hence why we also got assasin and trooper. And second it was a huge opportunity to make money. Revan makes no sense to come to the game, he isn't even the most badass or strongest guy from the old republic. The only way I can see some of these old characters be implemented would be a massive expansion that expanded the era of the game and brought a bunch of these characters with it. But to individually hand pick Revan and bring him in the game makes no sense!

Bringing in Revan makes plenty of sense as people will pay through the nose to get him. I do agree that a lot of those others should be added too. I don't give an expletive what Di$ney says is canon and saying that you can't add him because he was way before most of these characters times doesn't make much sense since this is a game and adding Old Republic era characters would be fun and a massive way to make money.

Why specifically him and not Bane for example? People constantly ask for him, like it's a worshiping fan club of Revan that I don't understand.

You're entire argument that they have nothing to do with the setting of the game is flawed. The setting of the game is Star Wars. The time period doesn't matter. In fact, the premise of the game of the game is there you're playing a holotable game, or did you forget? Stop getting wrapped around the axle over nothing.

Otherwise 99.5% of characters wouldn't be from the same period.If a game was about world war 2 to today, would you expect to add a character from the 300 Spartans with a shield and a speer while being the only character of that period. Seriouly that's the equivalent example.

The Revan Obsession, I really don't get it...

You understand that half of your rant is "wrong era," but you literally bring up points which go against it. If I wanted to sit hear and listen to someone go back and forth on a subject, with no rhyme or reason, this would be my go to thread.

CG would make plenty of money.... That's enough for them to eventually pull the trigger. Just as you said, he has a whole fan club that would kill to see him brought to the game.

Revan was a she when I played SW KotOR II. He/she was the player character. Woke up on a ship under attack, with no memory. Turned out that he/she was a Sith Lord who had banged his/her head or something.

I don’t really get how a character whose identity and story was something that you decided for yourself can be a character in SWGoH.

The widely accepted version of Revan (based on the books), is a human male. The exile (KOTOR 2) is a human female. Just to keep things in perspective. It's like playing as Vader in the force unleashed. Yes he overpowered, but obviously that's not the canon version.
