Darth Revan is back on the collector circuit, which is always a dangerous thing for wallets, shelves, and anyone still pretending they are “done buying Star Wars stuff.” Sideshow has revealed new Darth Revan collectibles, including a Darth Revan Statue and a larger Darth Revan Premium Format Figure. Both pieces lean heavily into the Sith Lord’s iconic Knights of the Old Republic look: dark robes, armor, red and purple lightsabers, and the kind of dramatic pose that says, “yes, I have made several morally complicated life choices.” But the detail that will probably get the most attention is the unmasked portrait included with the exclusive version of the Premium Format Figure. Because yes, fans are already going to have thoughts. The Unmasked Revan Portrait Is the Hook The Darth Revan Premium Format Figure stands 23 inches tall, with Revan posed over the wreckage of a fallen Mandalorian Crusader ship. Sideshow…

KOTOR Remake May Finally Be Targeting 2028, Which Somehow Feels Both Close and Ridiculous
The Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic remake may finally have something resembling a release window. Maybe. Possibly. With a lightsaber-sized asterisk. According to Gamereactor, a New Saber executive has put the long-awaited KOTOR remake “hopefully” in the company’s 2028 release line-up. That is not an official release date. It is not a trailer. It is not a fresh gameplay reveal. It is not even the kind of confident corporate sentence you can safely build a countdown clock around. But for a remake that has spent years living somewhere between “still in development” and “please stop asking,” even the word “hopefully” counts as movement. 2028 Is Not a Date, But It Is Something The key word here is “hopefully.” That matters. The remake has not been officially dated for 2028, and nobody should treat this as confirmation that Revan is definitely returning that year. What it does suggest is…
KOTOR Launched on Xbox 23 Years Ago, and Star Wars RPGs Were Never the Same
When Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic launched on Xbox in July 2003, it did not just give players another Star Wars game. It gave them a galaxy they could actually shape. That was the difference. Before KOTOR, Star Wars games had already done plenty: space sims, shooters, strategy, arcade action, podracing, and more odd experiments than most franchises would ever dare attempt. Our complete archive of every Star Wars game ever made makes that history look almost absurd in hindsight. But KOTOR hit differently because it was not trying to replay the films. It was trying to let players live inside Star Wars as an RPG. The Day Players Finally Met Revan The Xbox version of Knights of the Old Republic arrived in July 2003, only days after LucasArts confirmed the game had gone gold. We already looked back at that production milestone in our piece on how…
On This Day: Knights of the Old Republic Went Gold, and Star Wars RPGs Were Never the Same
On July 9, 2003, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic went gold. That sounds like a small production milestone now, especially in an era where games “launch” and then spend six months being patched into the shape everyone hoped for on day one. But back in 2003, going gold meant something very specific. The game was done. The master was ready. The discs were coming. And in this case, one of the most important Star Wars games ever made was about to leave BioWare’s hands and land in players’ homes. At the time, GameSpot reported that LucasArts had confirmed the Xbox version of Knights of the Old Republic was ready to ship, with release expected shortly after. Looking back more than two decades later, that little “gone gold” announcement feels less like routine publishing news and more like the moment Star Wars RPGs crossed a line. Because KOTOR did…
SWTOR’s Next Galactic Seasons Week Is a Pretty Good Excuse to Log In
Sometimes Star Wars: The Old Republic does not need a massive update, a dramatic Sith prophecy, or a galaxy-shaking betrayal to pull players back in. Sometimes it just needs a weekly checklist that quietly says: “Go on. You know you want the Conquest points.” SWTOR’s Galactic Seasons 10, Secrets of the Syndicate, continues with Week 15 running from June 16 to June 22, and the latest objective list is actually a solid excuse to log in if your character has been parked in a stronghold pretending to be retired. According to the official SWTOR Galactic Seasons objectives post, Week 15 once again asks players to complete any 7 out of 11 weekly objectives, with the usual daily goal of earning 25,000 Personal Conquest Points across your Legacy. Altuur Zok Adon Gets the Spotlight This week’s companion-focused objective is built around Altuur zok Adon. Players can earn 200,000 Personal Conquest Points…
That 2003 KOTOR Ad That Made Revan Look Almost Live-Action
Long before cinematic game trailers were standard, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic was already being marketed like a film. One of the most striking examples is a 2003 print advertisement built around the phrase “Choose Your Path.” Instead of showing gameplay or ships, the ad centers on a hyper-realistic human face split down the middle — half heroic, half Sith. And it still looks wild today. A Face Between the Light and the Dark The ad’s design is simple but powerful: This wasn’t just cool art. It was a visual summary of what made Knights of the Old Republic revolutionary in 2003: your choices shape who you become. Is That Revan? Yes… and No Fans often look at this ad and ask: “Is that supposed to be Revan?” Marketing-wise, yes. Literally, no. Revan in KOTOR is a player-defined character, not a fixed face. The person shown in the…
Shadow of Revan Turns 11: Celebrating One of SWTOR’s Most Iconic Expansions
On December 9, 2014, Star Wars: The Old Republic dropped one of its most beloved expansions — Shadow of Revan — and changed the game forever.Yes, it’s officially been 11 years since Revan returned to the spotlight, raised an army, and delivered one of the most quotable threats in the entire SWTOR storyline: “War is coming. Conflict on a scale we’ve never seen. Revan has forged an army with a single purpose — to change the galaxy forever. Empire. Republic. We must unite, or fall.” And honestly? Eleven years later, that line still hits just as hard. Why Shadow of Revan Stands Out In the long history of SWTOR, Shadow of Revan wasn’t just another expansion. It was a pivot — a story that connected Knights of the Old Republic, SWTOR’s evolving narrative, and the larger mythos of Revan into one huge, dramatic arc. Players got: It was the moment…

Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes Developer Insights: Darth Revan
The Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes, CG_SBCrumb, sat down with CG_ParkingInstructor to discuss Darth Revan and where this character fits into Galaxy of Heroes. If you haven’t met CG_Parkinginstructor, he is a designer who mainly works on character creation and was the main designer on Darth Traya, Darth Sion, Chewbacca, and Ahsoka Tano (Fulcrum) among many others. OVERVIEW SBC: So who is the Darth Revan character?PI: Darth Revan is a dominant leader for the new Sith Empire faction and powers up a team by weakening its own defensive capabilities. Darth Revan will lead a very aggressive Sith Empire team that aims to take down enemies quickly but with a different approach than most. Darth Revan’s kit is focused on effectively taking down the enemy leader while applying beneficial debuffs. We think this will be a very powerful character with longevity in PvP and do fairly well in raids. Check out Darth Revan’s kit…

Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes: Jedi Knight Revan Kit Reveal
Capital Games usually post kit reveals before now, but given the importance of this character, they wanted to make sure he was done right – rather than committing too early and then changing his kit. They apologize for the delay – as they know we’re all excited about it – but they wanted ensure our Jedi Knight Revan lives up to that excitement. The team has been working hard over the last few days (and months, really) on Jedi Knight Revan and are excited to share his Kit Reveal over in the Arena and Character Strategy Section.

Revan: A Star Wars Story
Revan is a much more complicated character than most people realize. Revan—renowned as the Revanchist, honored as the Revan, reviled as Revan the Butcher, dreaded as the Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Revan, and praised as the Prodigal Knight. This is a human male in the Star Wars story who has been on both sides of the coin. He was both Jedi and Sith in the Mandalorian Wars, Jedi Civil War, and the Great Galactic War. He has an interesting and complex story, ever changing, and that can be hard to follow if you don’t have a good teacher. That’s why I really love this Star Wars Story from The Scoundrel’s Cantina. All of their videos are great, but this is one of my favorite. It takes a complicated story like Revan’s and breaks it down so that even a non Star Wars fan would be able to follow. maybe you think you know everything there is to…

How Powerful Was Revan Really?
Revan has long been one of my favorite characters from Star Wars. This powerful, complex character just has so much backstory, so much growth, and had such a huge impact in so many important aspects of Star Wars, I find it hard not to like him. But even if you’re not a fangirl like me, you probably still find it hard not to respect Revan when you learn all about him. It’s not just that he has an interesting story, or that he had the unique history of playing both sides – as a Jedi and as Sith – but also because he was so incredibly powerful. “Revan had many Masters, Zhar, Dorak, Master Kae before Kae left for the Wars. Toward the end of his training, he sought out many to learn techniques. It is said that he returned to his first Master at the end of his training,…

Why Revan Was Forced to Become Sith Lord
Revan is one of the best known Sith Lords in Star Wars lore but what made him become a Sith Lord in the first place? Can you believe that one of the greatest Siths to ever live didn’t actually choose that path? He was forced into it but once he felt a taste of that power and control, he was hooked. How much do you really know about Revan? Do you know about his life? What kind of life he had before? What pushed him into the life of a Sith? What did he do after finding himself in this position? Most of us known all about what happened once he turned to the Dark Side. He was the stuff legends are made of. So made the legend? Here’s a video that breaks it all down for you. I love these Star Wars “history” videos that helps you understand just…
The Deleted Revan Scene from The Clone Wars
Darth Revan speaks with The Son of Mortis in this deleted scene from The Clone Wars. Chances are, you’ve heard of this epic deleted scene from The Clone Wars Season 3: Ghosts of Mortis but you might not know what it’s all about. There is a lot of chatter over this scene because it basically shows us how Darth Revan was almost canon. Is the cut scene still considered canon within Star Wars story? We’ll explore that a bit after but if you have yet to see the scene, watch the video below. See the delete scene for yourself here: So now that you’ve seen it, what is it all about? Here is this scene, we see that the Son has been influenced by two dark entities. They want him to control “The Chosen One”, Anakin Skywalker and bring the world into Darkness. So why did the scene get deleted?…
Could Darth Revan Return to Star Wars Canon? Has He Already Been Seen?
Will we ever see Darth Revan reappear in Star Wars canon? Have we actually already seen this Legends-favorite Sith Lord? Darth Revan is arguably one of the most well known Sith Lords of all time. He has a huge following and it’s easy to understand why. That’s why it’s easy to see why so many fans want him to return to canon. It almost happened in a recent episode of The Clone Wars but the scene was deleted because Lucas felt it wasn’t keeping with the Star Wars legend he had created. Those from the Dark Side were not supposed to be able to return to the living after death. So it was a scrapped scene but a good prediction of what may have been. While Lucas doesn’t want to see Revan come back in this way, that doesn’t mean we’ll never see him return. He could return to canon…
