I’m happy they’ve announced Darth Revan. However...The story in hand? Does not make sense. I’ve been reading the Revan Time line came across interesting points and mentions of the characters. Lets agree to disagree on some things here. Carth- Carth was rescued by Revan and was incharge of the ship which held un-conscious Revan onboard with thus the Kotor story stars. His part in the Revan legendary event??? Questionable here, back to my agree to disagree with somethings. Hk-47- I’m fully onboard with this as Revan constructed his own Assassin to take out several Jedi (obviously failed as he needed repairs). In his dark side form programmed him to call Malak a meat bag and all other lifeforms meat bags. (Edited as corrected)Juhani- rescued by Revan, joined the jedi order. Not much of a mention in Revans story here. Again agree to disagree? Ordo- ordo was not part of Darth Revans story. Was part of Kotor 1 in defeating Malak. I don’t agree with this move at all purely a scam to try force players to purchase. Fallen Bastila- same as above, although Fallen Bastila was part of the late Kotor 1 end game, taunted by Malak and brought back to the light by Revan. Another bad move and a scam to try make players purchase. If anything it should be light side Bastila who infact dueled Revan before his memory. In summery we’re getting a journey to the dark side involving 3 characters not even part of Darth Revan at this current time and 2 of those being light side( i’m pro ordo for being light side even though he was a Mandalore back ground and became a hired gun) I feel this was a poorly planned execution and Darth Revan shoulda been released later this year when they could or done a proper story involving the proper heroes (MALAK BEING THE BIGGEST PLAYER HERE) What do you guys think? I think it’s just a poor marketing poor scam to take your money without a consideration with the George Lucas orginal lore. Hey ho, who am i to disagree with the gods ru(i)ning the game.

I was under the impression Darth Revan constructed HK-47

I don’t see the issue...this follows the second half of the game. Bastila gets captured and turned. Meanwhile you go through the other 2 planets with Carth and company until the decision on the last planet. Then you side with bastila and it becomes a battle between those who side with Revan vs those who don’t side with him.

I think the Darth Revan event is thenon cannon darkside kotor ending. So no its not going to line up with cannon

I honestly don’t think this event will take into account the lore behind Revan but more of a what-if scenario for the players that chose the dark side ending where Bastila and Revan are leading the sith army against the republic. The lore states that the light side ending to the game is canon but there exists an alternate ending which this event is likely following. It’s true that nowhere is it said that this will follow the second half of the game BUT it would make no sense if this were the time he fell during the Wars.

It's not about official story of the game but about story that player can experience based on his own decisions within the game. Darth Revan is an example of dark side path.

Going purely off of memory here, but I think HK was built for the Mandalorian Wars (not to kill Jedi). I thought Revan lost HK during the war.

The timeline really should be Jedi Knight Revan —> Darth Revan —> neutral Revan (can’t remember if he actually joined the Jedi again or just worked with them against Malak).

Of the characters needed, only HK would match the lore. All others happened after Darth Revan (although maybe you could justify Bastila since the player can choose dark side in the game).

Also, this doesn’t really have anything to do with George Lucas.

Built after the final battle, This was when Revan was a fully pledged Sith. Of-course it does. Anything Starwars had to stamped by George Lucas, you think Disney created StarWars? God no George Lucas built an entire world over 30-40 years including the old republic. Probably helped by third parties to help tell the story like Kotor was published by EA at the time for example.

Disney can now alter the cannon as it does belong to them now. Thought i’d add that in there.

EA has nothing to do with KOTOR! It was BIOWARE, which now belongs to EA.

Getting my own timelines confused. Published by LucasArts. Now rightly owned by EA.

Quote me if i’m wrong, but no where has it been said this is following on mid way thru kotor 1. Again Revan turned to the dark side once only. After the mandalore wars manipulated by vitiate. Kotor 1 was well after the mandalore wars. You should read the lore and my post will make sense. Revan turned to the dark side following the path to find an ancient Sith artifact ALONGSIDE Alek (after mandalore wars known as Malak). Bastila was part of revan when she was ordered to take down Revan, this was when theu first met and when they fell in love because of the force bond they had. Which brings me to the point of Fallen bastila revan was well and truely into the light side. The game tells the story accruately as can be but the lore tells it better.

From the Scourge of the Republic post:

"It will be a very difficult task to reclaim the Sith throne"

Reclaim implies Malak took the throne and Darth Revan fell. Revan reclaims the mantle of Dark Lord of the Sith mid to end game of KOTOR 1. I assume the first few battles will have Juhani and Carth teams and then you will use the other 3 to carry out the will of Revan

So much over analysis. You’re playing a game, inside a game, using characters from another game...

Lucas rarely paid attention to what was going on in the EU. He would occasionally pop his head in and issue random declarations that would derail storylines that had been years in the making, but day to day he was absentee.

And KOTOR was released many, many years before BioWare was sold to EA.

There was a Mike Zero video today saying that the 4th trilogy that will be written by the makers of game of thrones have officially narrowed down the theme of that trilogy to the old republic, with shows that tie in on the new streaming service as well as reintroducing characters that are no longer canon, or another sequel after the current sequel trilogy. I find that news coming out the same day as this news a bit interesting...
