(Note: The video details Revan's entire story, which spans across KOTOR 1 and the Star Wars: The Old Republic massively multiplayer online role-playing game.)Īssuming new Lucasfilm Games are part of "real" Star Wars canon (which it seems like they already are) then a new KOTOR possibly opens up the door for the distant backstory from Knights of the Old Republic to be retold in a newly canonized way. If you want to know more about his wild backstory, you can do no better than this hilarious video that attempts to explain the entire "story" of KOTOR in 3-minutes. He's a fan-favorite that's the sole icon for why KOTOR is so popular. Throughout his complicated life, he turned to the Dark Side twice, lost his memory at least once, and was briefly confronted by his own Light-side spirit. In the non-canon KOTOR continuity, Revan began his life as a Jedi, became a Sith, and eventually, tried to play the Light and the Dark Side against each other for his own benefit. Wild speculation ahead.ĭarth Revan is a Sith Lord who lived around 4,000 years before the events of the classic Star Wars trilogy. That's right, if KOTOR is coming back that means Darth Revan is (probably) coming back, too. If true, this could mean many things for KOTOR loyalists, but for the rest of us, it means that one pivotal Sith Lord could finally get fully rebooted in the canon.
It's an aspect of distant Star Wars history that is mostly non-canon that remains very much beloved.Ī new rumor suggests that KOTOR is coming back (again) as an officially sanctioned title from the new Lucasfilm Games umbrella. And then, perhaps the most dedicated, are the fans of Knights of the Old Republic, a video game saga better known as KOTOR. For older (read: crankier) fans, the "Legends" canon from the 1990s is the expanded universe we miss the most. For the more dedicated, the immersive fully-approved new canon - including the post-2014 novels and comics - is the next step into a larger world. Like an onion eaten by Jar Jar Binks, Star Wars canon has a lot of layers.įor most fans, the Star Wars films and TV shows are what matter most.
