Ares, I believe that's the case. From all the cut scenes on swtor, it looks like they held him in high regard. Or bioware doesn't know how to properly deal with continuity.
$10 says there will be no explanation. It's the designers and marketers trying to appeal to KotOR fans with Revan's image, and also trying to target traditional fans by including an "Empire", Darth Vader Malgus, a Sith Emperor, Moffs, Stormtroopers, Star Destroyers, Alderaan, Republic Troopers who look suspiciously like Jango Clonetroopers etc.
If they had avoided a blatant ripoff of the most popular Star Wars incarnations and actually applied themselves to originality, then The Old Republic project would actually be pretty cool and worthwhile. But as it is, I'm frankly not interested in being disappointed by a rehashed money-grab.
