The Old Republic: Revan Returns in Update 3.0 Information

Started by Emperordmb49 pages

I am not raising Revan... yet.

I'm going to wait for this thing to come out first.

He is already raised, bro.
"I've been reborn. My mind is clearer, my power intensified. And now, with the order under my command, I'm unstoppable."

That being said, I'm going to wait until everything is officially released.

Agreed, it doesn't say how much more powerful he has become.

No. The Operations team based on the TOR website seems to be the combined might of the 4 main Empire characters, and the 4 main Republic characters. So you got: Tython, Barsen, Wrath, Nox, Champ, Niner, and the other 2.

I'll type up my thoughts about this soon though.

What? The Republic and Empire dudes work together? I thought that was only in my headcanon fanfictions.

"Now both the Empire and the Republic call on their strongest champions to head to Denova and take the planet from the warlord and his army."

"Seeing Karagga’s actions as a threat, both the Galactic Republic and Sith Empire send representatives to confront Karagga and force him to stop his aggression."

"Both the Republic and the Empire understand the threat that the prison poses, and both sides now send their most powerful heroes to confront and eliminate this powerful foe once and for all."

There's also the fact that Revan is falling further and further into the Dark Side, and all who fall claim their power is growing when it really isn't.

I don't doubt that his is, though, otherwise there would be no point or threat.

Revan, in all respects and purposes, is the mascot of the Expanded Universe. No character created since 2003 was able to capture the levels of fame and awe that he did. It attracted people of all ages thanks to his awesome looks to the fantastic plot of Knights of the Old Republic itself. It was the heroic story that even the darkest of people can still be redeemed. In terms of a strict plot story, they should have ended there. Of course I am thankful that with new material, he is depicted stronger then he would be without it, but Revan's character and legacy will far outlive this forum and its posts. Revan being corrupted by this new Sith Emperor lowers the importance and history of the Star Forge. Moving forward, they decided to turn Revan's story from something heroic to tragic. They put him in the worst novel in mankind, which depicts him as losing Meetra Surik, getting spammed by lightning, then being captured for 300 years. Star Wars plots, in my opinion, need to have a moral. The Star Wars move saga was tragic, but it ended as the main character did his epic sacrifice. What does Revan do in comparison? Decides to destroy everyone in this twisted plot in zombie form. Only the word irony can capture that the "champion of the Light" who destroyed the Star Forge to save the Republic now wants the Star Forge once again to destroy the damn Republic? Da faq?

Plot aside, the current personality of Revan is actually how I thought of Darth Revan (before the Vitiate retcon) to be. He was determined to stop the Republic and rule the galaxy in an effort to make a force grand enough to counter what the "Ancient Sith" had in store in the Unknown Regions. That was always the plot since Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords. Like look at some of these badass lines:
"I've been reborn. My mind is clearer, my power intensified. And now, with the order under my command, I'm unstoppable." --Revan
"The Republic is too weak and unfocused to do what must be done. To achieve my goals, all distractions must be swept aside." --Revan
"The Emperor couldn't break me. Even death could not stop me. I will finish what I've started. And you will not interfere again." --Revan
I just simply hope, and I am shocked I am saying this, that Revan's fate is finally sealed in his operation battle. As someone who personally played as Revan and made him do all the heroic deeds he did, I simply cannot watch much longer as they throw that away. What is the point of stopping Darth Malak when you (Revan) is just going to try the same thing 300 years later?

[0:30] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKsSfRfdJv0 : Revan's conversation in audio (You can here him).

Sounds like Revan's speaking over a comms channel, not in person and that he ****s your shit up with his fleet, not his power.

That doesn't make sense though, because Theron wouldn't know if they were locking their Turbolasers on. In fact, Theron steals some Turbolasers.
"The Revanites will notice if we start collecting turbolasers and orbital strike bombs. We need to catch them by surprise."
Also, they wouldn't feel a "threat in the Force" if Revan is just on a comm channel.

Also, they wouldn't feel a "threat in the Force" if Revan is just on a comm channel.

"That voice..."
"It's Revan!"

He's on a comm channel, likely not seen until 3.0...

Why? You can sense dudes on other ships. He'd still register as a threat if he'd merely warped in with some capital ships to wreck your shit. Theron could easily tell they were locking on from a console or something.

They better make him uber in his next appearance then, giving they already trashed the character.

These seem to be Revan's new accolades (I decided I should put them together given he's on a comm channel now ):

"No. They weren't in charge. The disturbance in the Force, I still feel it. It's... arrived."
--Lana Beniko (Star Wars The Old Republic)

"I sense something. We're in danger."
--Lana Beniko (Star Wars The Old Republic)

"When a goal is important enough, one learns to overcome any obstacle."
--Revan (Star Wars The Old Republic)

"I've been reborn. My mind is clearer, my power intensified. And now, with the order under my command, I'm unstoppable."
--Revan (Star Wars The Old Republic)

"The Emperor couldn't break me. Even death could not stop me. I will finish what I've started. And you will not interfere again."
--Revan (Star Wars The Old Republic)

"Now that we know Revan's in the picture, everything changes--for the worse."
--Theron Shan (Star Wars The Old Republic)

What are your guys thoughts on how he returned from the dead? You think it was like a Dark Transfer type of thing?

It seems to me like he rebuilt himself Maul-style.

He confirms he was dead though. Maul was never dead.

Neither was Krayt, who also claimed to be dead.

Well if that image is anything to go by it looks like the Empire protags fvcked him up something fierce. So yeah, he might of needed some rebuilding.

But I prefer to think that he just folded space to a doctor who patched him up. It's amusingly pedestrian, kind of.
