That's because KOTOR was amazing, people wanted to believe the Prodigal Knight Revan could overcome any obstacle, if he had more training, he could've
gone one-on-one with Vitiate. Plus, Revan is a fan favorite, much like Cloud from FF or Sora from KH. Revan's become the mascot of Star Wars nowadays.
