I just completely re-did this thread. Thoughts? Concerns?

Brilliant.

I still rate Surik higher given how focused she was on Bladework. But very impressive, I hadn't properly drawn together the Hord feats, nice job.

"Form III: Sorseu: Revan has demonstrated knowledge of Sorseu from being trained by Kreia, a Jedi Master and Sith Lord who was very skilled in Shii-Cho and was known to have trained her disciples on it."

Ahem.

Enjoyed the thread, couple things to note though:

1.) Trying to pass off Revan hungering for knowledge as him wanting to learn more lightsaber techniques seems pretty fallacious to me.

2.) Revan didn't keep Tulak Hord's holocron, he gave it to the Academy and was never confirmed to have taken it back.

3.) EDIT: Looks like someone already noticed.

He has the same thing for Makashi as well. Also I disagree with the notion that because he has performed an opening Juyo stance that he has "skillful knowledge" of the form.

👆 x 2 combo.

Edit: Nevermind

Edit: Okay

This though, I do take issue with:

"No individual or army of the era could match Revan's power besides one, and that man's corpse now lays dead as it orbits Rakata Prime."

"Revan was the greatest warrior of his time, and perhaps greater then any who came before him."

Um, Vitiate and his Empire?

Vitiate's not apart of the KotOR era, and isn't a warrior either. I do give Vitiate a mention though here:

"... and the Sith Emperor, an immortal "living embodiment of the dark side"😉."

Yes he is? 😬

Also I'm pretty sure Malak was deemed "almost unstoppable", not unstoppable.

I know. 😬

No, it took place in the Kotor era. It happens immediately after Kotor II. Literally within a few years of Kotor. How can that be counted as a different era?

Then why did you intentionally leave out the almost in your thread? 😬

I didn't. Note the next sentence: "This is until Revan managed to ultimately defeat the Dark Lord in a brutal confrontation, heroically ending the Sith threat until the rise of the Sith Triumvirate later."

A prequel that took place 300 years before TOR. Prequels don't have to be set in the same era as their linked source. I'd think a Star Wars fan would know that. 😬 😬 😬

You did. The almost isn't in the quote, so you didn't. The fact that Revan beat him is why it's egregious to source Malak as unstoppable. By leaving out the almost you're intentionally making Revan look undeservedly better and giving false information.

Nope, I accept your concession. The novel isn't called Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic: Revan for a reason:
"Star Wars: The Old Republic is continuing to expand beyond the core game and into novels and comics. Del Rey Books has already published two novels in the Old Republic timeline, Fatal Alliance and Deceived, and last year announced that a third Old Republic novel was to be written by Drew Karpyshyn, Principal Writer at BioWare, and author of the Darth Bane series of Star Wars novels." --StarWars.com

lawl, obvious Malak hatred is obvious Malak hatred. Sorry for not satisfying your needs of Sarro Xaj>Revan>>>Darth Malak.

That it has the Old Republic brand doesn't mean it is set in the Old Republic era, which kind of encompasses Kotor anyway now that I think of it? Regardless, Vitiate was active in the Kotor era. Yet you say that no individual of the era could match Revan. Which is blatantly untrue.

Obvious Revan bias is obvious. All I want is for your respect thread to be accurate and unbiased. I don't see how it's biased of me to expect you to not intentionally mislead your readers.
