After 3 years, in contrary to what I said in this video, the actual FINAL chapter of Revan's story: The Ghost of Revan - Is available now! th-cam.com/video/SbfWOGcj3ZA/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=100%25StarWars
The final chapter of Revan, which ended SWTOR as well is called "Echoes of Oblivion." This expansion was released at the end of last year, as a potential middle finger to Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker, which had Palpatine's return as its defining feature. However, while I do like the idea of the Emperor coming back, I personally think that SWTOR handled that plotline WAY better than Disney did.
So I'm that person on TH-cam who is totally invisible. But gosh, I have to leave a comment here. With your content you already covered what I'm most passionate about: Revan, Meetra and Atton. I have a serious obsession with Meetra tho. Anyway, I can only thank you for supporting the growing fame these characters experience. Your Revan series was awesome. Your visualization is unusual but fitting for Star Wars and it works really well. I wonder where you got the idea with the ship view from? I like that you use actual quotes and their audio files in your narrative. And the music, force the music, I always listened to it while drawing and it got you immediate plus points for using it. Despite reading through a lot of lore, I can't add anything. In contrary, you actually still taught me a few things (maybe bc I was to rebel-ish to play TOR after kotor). Keep up the good work! I would ask to make even more Meetra/Revan content but that would be foolish :D. I'll just await your next videos and hope that you don't change to the clickbait/very-very-absurd theories- channel. Help me, 100% Star Wars, you are my only hope!❤ (P.S. you better read this, else I won't leave no comments no more) (P.P.S i like this community a lot and agree with most of the opinions here)
Wow, you're too kind, this means a lot Thank You! The visualization was an idea that I had, that there were holograms telling stories (historical records) on screen. Just imagine Vader standing on the bridge, looking 'out' into space, but instead, he's watching a historical record on Revan or Bane or something. It was just for fun, but I wanted to give the Character's Explained Series a different look, so it's not like the typical Star Wars TH-camr look of having a blurred image in the back, and then the main image wipe across the screen. (I do, do that for more conventional video's though because it's simpler) But I wanted this series to be unique. The Music and sound effects have been a new thing for me. Originally, the video's just had music playing in the background, but everything changes, and I wanted to make the video's more.. Immersive? The sound effects and the relevant music just adds something to it, I'm glad you like it! Don't worry, It's still hard for me to accept TOR after KOTOR too :) I do intend to make more content with Revan and Meetra in future, however I won't spoil it. I did think about doing theories, but they really aren't my thing, I prefer telling stories, and not just in typical lore video fashion. I want to tell these stories LIKE a story, and I intend to keep doing it! I'm humbled by your words, and I'm glad you enjoy the content. It's comments like this that really make my day and give me the inspiration to do what I do! May the force be with you!
I have never forgiven Drew Karpyshyn for how he screwed over the Jedi Exile. In the novel he turned the awesome force bonding/wound in the force hero of KOTOR II and made her into a slightly above avg jedi warrior named Meetra. I swear he never even played KOTOR2 before writing the Revan novel. It's like he read the wiki and that's all. Plus, yes I agree I dont like what TOR did to Revan (and Meetra) either.
When you want to ruin an otherwise mysterious star wars character, the first thing you do is to give her a generic name. Then, she is no longer known for her feats, for her title, or characteristics, but only for her name.
I always figured Meetra lost her 'wound' after killing Kreia, like the two were bonded and Kreia's death broke that bond, returning Meetra to how she was during the Mando War. That said, I didn't like how it ended either. IMO, the RR novel should have ended with a grand, climactic battle which killed Meetra and Vitiate and left Revan badly wounded. Scourge would then betray Revan, killing him and then Scourge would take the throne for himself. It just seems odd to me that they'd hype Revan's power so much, his insane journey which started with the Mandalorian wars which were started by Vitiate, and NOT have Revan be the one to defeat the Sith who ate a planet and started it all. but no, they have that kill to some random Knight in SWTOR and reduced Revan to a battery and later a madman who came dangerously close to breaking universal laws established in the SW universe.
@I. Th. Then they shouldn't have built him up as being the opposite of the Emperor. The mention of how Revan's the "heart of the Force", his journey back and forth from the light and dark and being so deeply intertwined with the Emperor's plots. Even serving as his harbinger for a time. He can be the "hero" and still embody Revenge. Revan should have been the one to kill the Emperor. Even if he destroyed (whether literally or metephorically) himself in the process. Like a living incarnation of the "bring 2 shovels when gettting revenge" saying.
I almost shed some tears in the end. Never ceases to surprise me how beautifully you tell these stories, and the sound design is getting better with each video, immersing you even further as you listen to how these stories play out. RIP Revan, truly a sad way to go for one who held the galaxy by the throat many times, and saved it many others. I would love to hear a huge story section about Darth Bane, and the foundation of the Rule of 2, and I think a video about the Origins of the Jedi and Sith with the Jed'aii order would be awesome to watch. Thanks for making these epic videos!
Feels incredible to revisit these stories after all these years. From playing the first two games as a kid, dancing with EA, reading the comics and the Revan book, to now watching these vids. So many amazing memories flooding my mind. You’ve created a real life holocron. Thank you.
If only KOTOR 3 didn't get the axe, we would've gotten full closure on Revan's entire campaign, but at least his legacy lives on in some form; well done sir.
Thank you for these stories. They are not only great to listen to but learn from. I feel that I would likely be one to fallow Revan's teachings. He was a great master of the force and you truly bring him to life. Thank you. And may the force be with you, always.
I know I'm really late on this but your channel is amazing! And this character analysis is just the greatest, if they are actually making a old republic series I hope they use the way you told it.
I feel like if they just let revan finish his plan, he would have defeated the Emporer, or if he wasn't betrayed by Malak he could have amassed an army to defeat the Emporer, or if scourge didn't pussy out he could have defeated the Emporer, it seems as though revans allies are his biggest strength and weakness.
After been watching several Star Wars channels and their "biography" episodes, but I got to say: You are the best! You really got all parts right! Thank you for all these wonderful "biography" episodes! Keep it up!
It really sucks that his story is so good up until we get to your chapter 5 video. Good video, but I hate what Bioware and EA did to this amazing character.If only we got the cancelled Kotor 3. Maybe things would've been better.
If only Disney weren't just using Star Wars as a content less money gain operation, they could make kotor 1 and 2 canon commission a better ending for Revan, in fact, you could just continue the story from there, he's been made whole again and the Emperor still isn't defeated, he could have plenty of adventures with force ghost Meetra and HK-47
No matter how we love him and have played him in many alternate endings, he did genuinely horrible stuff and just cannot go an easy way out, it's the sacrifice he has to make to return to the force.
legitimate question here. What specifically do most not like about the old republic revan? i just replayed kotor and got refreshed on everything in them i happen to like the mealstrom prison part becuase only revan could affect the emperor for that long. the shadow of revan expansion i enjoyed though it been a while since i played that chapter
Fantastic work!! I've enjoyed this series of videos explaining Revans story. He is truely one of the best star wars characters ever to exist, there is such depth to his character. You are truly great at what you do and I'm really glad I found your channel. I'd like you to do some videos on Canderous Ordo/Mandalore the preserver, HK-47, Darth Bane, Darth Plagueis.
Discovered this gem 4 years later. I enjoyed this immensely! Amazing series man. Igniting my love for the star wars universe once again! Thank you! May the force be with you.
Wow when I heard the words Star Forge I had one of those torrent of memories of Revan's past. I saw all the 5 videos in the same day. Still, those words made me feel like I had been watching these videos for ages and felt the loss for him.
@@100StarWars Well it as Saturday, I had free time and it's what, 2 hours +/- in total? It's watchable in 1 day. xD And the fact that your videos are really compelling also helped. ;)
Im gald that you mentioned the Temple in the video. In order to understand fully how insanely powerfull and dangerious was the Dark Revan go and play the mentioned Temple of Sacrifie raid in the Swtor game on hardmode..... then you understand what kind of f...ing badass Revan truly was...... the title given there, The Revanchist is really well earned.... btw good video m8, loved all the way, keep up the good work
I like that Revan finished in a tragic way It does not need to be a god he did everything possible to stop the Emperor although he was defeated he stopped years of progress to the Sith empire, preventing Vitiate from invade the Republic For me Revan will always be a hero and one of my favorite Star Wars characters ever
Thank you for your hard work on this. Very well done. I too, was frustrated by what they did with Revan's character. But that doesn't make the whole of it bad. Revan is a fantastic character.
Revan Known as the Butcher and the Prodigal Knight of the Old Republic Era. Power is stated to be the *heart* of the Force Brilliant military leader and tacitian Mastered *both* the light and the dark side of the force Defeated Malak and destroyed the Star Forge Exile (Fuck Bitch-Ass Meetra Surik. Male-Exile ALL DAY) 3rd in command behind Malak who was behind Revan Brilliant military leader and tactictian Stated to be a literal *wound* in the force Demolished a rebellion on Danooine Conviced an immortal being to die Defeated a powerful manipulative foe Defeated a Planet-Surface Level buster Revan and Exile's cause of death Defeat at he hands of a maniac and a cheap gary stu knock off of Palpatine an Nihilus as a result of incompetent writing from a company who was told to make a lackuster subpar MMO by evil corparate lunatics who desire wealth no matter how good the product is, as opposed to making a satisfying conclusio the Knights Of The Old Reoublic games
Yes, I would also say that there could have been a more epic story than that. Two of the greatest characters written and in terms of power defeated by a Lord solely created to be stronger than any Sith since. But Meetra always stands in the shadow of the great Revan in those tellings and I'm grateful you are one to acknowledge this. And yes, still referring to the exile as female. Because I love the idea of a strong female lead. She has been a role model for me as Carrie Fisher has been to many young girls. Of course look at the exile in whatever way you want but my point stands :P
It mirrors Revan, I like that Revan is Male and Meetra is Female. This story was in essence, simply devised as a means to set up the MMO. Lazy story telling at its finest. If you're writing something, just for the sake of ensuring continuity with something else, there's no creativity, there's limits, there's a lack of passion and this story suffers from exactly those things.
@@100StarWars man, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOUR CONTENT. I LOVE THE OLD STAR WARS UNIVERSE! I don't know how I've been missing your channel but I am DAMN GLAD I HAVE FOUND IT! THANKS FOR THE HARD WORK YOU HAVE PUT IN TO MAKE THIS CONTENT! I'm sure I can speak for a lot of us fans, it's been needed for a long time. Hell, I think Disney would be lucky to have you on staff to help get their expanded universe up and running! Now there's a petition that NEEDS TO REALLY GET STARTED!
Yeah...I won’t deny what Swotor and Drew did to Revan undermines a lot of Kotor 1-2, but what they did hardly compares to the travesty of Disney’s takeover. I think what makes me love the Old Republic Era so much is the truth that the good guys don’t always win, and there are always consequences to shit. But it doesn’t mean what Revan and Meetra did was meaningless. Revan with the aid of Meetra’s Ghost, Fought off the Dreadmasters and Emporer for over 300 years mentally, and considering how Revan emerged, we’re lucky he hadn’t completely lost his mind. Swotor has its problems, but they damned as hell gave it their all to make us as happy as they could.
I'm repeating myself but I still must give another shout to Darth Zannah! The first Sith Master and Mistress of the Rule Of Two! I would be very interested in to hear what you have to say about her, especially if you can find out more what happened with her between the 2nd and 3rd book of the Bane-trilogy and what happened after the 3rd one.
Whenever I feel disappointed about the events of The Foundry, I just try to think about it this way: it took joint efforts of the heir to Kallig & Tulak Hord, the soon-to-be Emperor's Wrath, the agent who beat Darth Jadus, and the Champion of the Great Hunt to defeat him.
The enemy of my enemy isn't always my friend. You should always be careful and have someone you trust guard your back in that type of situation, unless in Revan's case, he was desperate.
I waited until i saw all 5 episodes to sub to truly feel it was deserved, the consistency of how in depth and good the story telling is in this series is stunning and he has nowhere to go but up Revan has always been my favorite character of Star Wars in its entirety and maybe Bioware and EA didn't give him a proper send off or do his character justice. But 100% Star Wars you sure did and managed to pick up the slack where the writers set it down.
I have absolutely loved this series because Revan is one of my favorite characters. However, this episode was the hardest to follow because this was the part I knew the least about. I used to love SWTOR but I never got very far and always intended to go back and play it again, but never did. I was always so confused trying to understand SWTORs Revan story, but after watching this it’s clear that SWTOR is just convoluted AF. Lol. I have enjoyed watching these very much.
Except they did. Revan is such an influential character in Star Wars lore. It would be weird if every time they mentioned Revan they couldn’t tell you what his gender was or what he did after Kotor. Play KoTOR however you want, but you can’t get mad that your idea of Revan isn’t the canon one.
It was a great series. I watched the whole thing in one go. I came here from Eckhart's channel after watching the video you made for him on the Eternal Fleet, which was also great. You've earned my Sub quickly, but I was to absorbed by the content of Revan's story that I'm only pushing the button now. Thanks for this awesome content and cheers from France! 🍻 PS: Revan's story would make for a hell of a TV show, if done right of course. The right person for the job with the resources necessary could work.
Wow, just wow! That was some amazing story telling n your part and amazing detail put into the video! I a a little mad I’ll never be able to experience the “deaths” of revan. (Stupid pc only mmo!) but I really am glad that your brought light to one of my favorite characters in all of Star Wars
I've gotta say, I'm very impressed with these videos, telling the stories of characters I'm not too clear on, maybe you can do videos focusing on events, such as the great hyperspace war and/or the great Sith war, just a thought...
I have to say, I was not a fan of the way the story treated Revan in the end. It was both overblown and yet also somewhat lacking in substance. I think it was interesting up to the point that you free him from the Emperor. After that, the game makers did not know what to do with him, and would have been better advised to have left him out altogether.
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭poor reaven ! I will follow reavens examples and learn both sides of the force rest in peace reaven and long live your name,story,and teachings !!
Jesus Christ, this series was amazing man! It was so immersive. You mentioned 2 Shans at the end, they were part of the team who defeated Revan, who are they? are they related to Bastila?
I think you have done almost all the characters that I care about, I think you missed Mira from KoToR 2, other than that, you have done everyone, Bastila perhaps as well? Carth? Mission? Canderous? anyways, Mira is the only one missing from KoToR 2 at least. And to everyone that hates how this ended, I get it. But you must understand why Drew wrote the book the way he did. I hated the ending because it made so little sense why Scourge would do what he did other than . but that is why it was written the way it was. as for Drews writing of the Exile, I kinda liked it. he really captured her full personality. this older mentor type. she is older than Bastila, which you also sense when you read about them conversing before she leaves to find Revan, I really do love everything about the book except the ending, but I understand why it's written that way, it had to, because the game was already made by the time the book was due to be published so.... I have no hard feelings about this what so ever, I lived 98% about it. 1% that is missing is how Meetra died, the last one is her lack of ability useage in the book. she has all sorts of fancy powers and she hardly used any. Other than that I'm totally cool with it now, I'm over it.
Well, in terms of her abilities and uniqueness, he got it completely wrong. I do intend to do Mira in the near future (Hopefully) so keep an eye out :)
Wow I have to say these videos are brilliant, I’ve played all the games but to have he story told like this really puts it all in perspective. Great work !
Crap... You're right, thanks for pointing this out. I only played through the expansion once and got the name mixed up when researching as everything just said 'Shan', and I must have instinctively put Satele by accident. Thanks again man.
@@100StarWars their great man I’ve been bingeing ur videos thank you for taking ur time to do this only a true fan can put this kind of content out and I’ll be sure to share to all my Star Wars nerds 😊
Thank you for your amazing work about this fascinating character. I just finished KOTOR II for the first time (actually it took me 7 years in total to complete both games due to some other life distractions lol) and discovered your channel right after searching for enlightenment about the game's plot (Kreia's motivations in particular). And damn I love this Characters Explained serie. Keep it on ! To get back to Revan, I didn't read the book neither did I play the SWTOR extension about him. Hearing from here and there that Karpyshyn's treatment of Revan and Meetra Surik was bad saddens me (as I enjoyed Karpyshyn's Mass Effect novels). From what I can tell from your story, the plot sounds okay until this Foundry crap. It just sounds like some self plagiarism of the Star Forge. The Exile's death seems also really disappointing. Maybe I'll read the book and play the SWTOR extension to build my own opinion, but I don't feel any incitement damn.
Thank you for the kind words, it means a lot! I'm really glad I could help expand your knowledge of this wonderful world :) I'd say give it a go, and make up your own mind, but I hated SWTOR's connection to KOTOR personally!

Man this is so much better storytelling than disney did they had a gold mine and they gave us the sequels. KOTOR 2 as a whole has the best storytelling in Star Wars
Light Side Revan: We have been apart for a long time, Revan. We need to repair what the Emperor has done. Let the Force claim you, as it had our old friend. Dark Side Revan: Malak. And in the end, as the Darkness takes me, I am nothing. Now I truly know how you felt, my friend. (The two halves merge)
I get Revan’s Light Side merged w the Force. I also can accept his Dark Side remained within his body. And because of Ben Kenobi, I can also accept Reven’s body can be transferred, by The Force, from the real to the ethereal - the Dark Side in Revan’s case. But what happened to his physical body from the time of his defeat at the Foundry through the four years he remained in hiding? Did it ever manifest back to the physical realm, or did his body/Dark Side remain with the (Dark Side?) Force until ‘it’ agreed to rejoin his Light Side? To simplify the question, was his defeat at The Foundry the last time his body walked the earth?
After 3 years, in contrary to what I said in this video, the actual FINAL chapter of Revan's story: The Ghost of Revan - Is available now! th-cam.com/video/SbfWOGcj3ZA/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=100%25StarWars

So did I

Wow when I heard the words Star Forge I had one of those torrent of memories of Revan's past. I saw all the 5 videos in the same day. Still, those words made me feel like I had been watching these videos for ages and felt the loss for him.
All 5 in the same day? That truly is dedication to the Revan cause!
@@100StarWars Well it as Saturday, I had free time and it's what, 2 hours +/- in total? It's watchable in 1 day. xD And the fact that your videos are really compelling also helped. ;)
Im gald that you mentioned the Temple in the video. In order to understand fully how insanely powerfull and dangerious was the Dark Revan go and play the mentioned Temple of Sacrifie raid in the Swtor game on hardmode..... then you understand what kind of f...ing badass Revan truly was...... the title given there, The Revanchist is really well earned.... btw good video m8, loved all the way, keep up the good work
Thank you for the kind words pal! It means a lot :)
Wasn't expecting the story to be like this. Feels like Revan only consists of being confused or losing.
100% Star wars - message for you. You are our Jedi historian.
I like that Revan finished in a tragic way
It does not need to be a god he did everything possible to stop the Emperor although he was defeated he stopped years of progress to the Sith empire, preventing Vitiate from invade the Republic
For me Revan will always be a hero and one of my favorite Star Wars characters ever
I think his tragedy should've been done differently, but I agree a tragic ending was a nice touch!
I have been following this series for a while, watching small parts after my first playthrough of KOTOR 1. I love revan’s story!
I love this series. I'm new to the star wars universe, would love to see one put together for Darth bane
Man the part where T3 sacrificed himself is fucking heartbreaking. He was one of my favorite characters in the games and he was such a bro. RIP
Thank you for your hard work on this. Very well done. I too, was frustrated by what they did with Revan's character. But that doesn't make the whole of it bad. Revan is a fantastic character.
After reading the book i still dont get closure for revan , and the way EA uses his character to make a buck pisses me off
You and me both my friend.
BioWare killed Revan and the Exile.
Literally and figuratively.
Revan
Known as the Butcher and the Prodigal Knight of the Old Republic Era.
Power is stated to be the *heart* of the Force
Brilliant military leader and tacitian
Mastered *both* the light and the dark side of the force
Defeated Malak and destroyed the Star Forge
Exile (Fuck Bitch-Ass Meetra Surik. Male-Exile ALL DAY)
3rd in command behind Malak who was behind Revan
Brilliant military leader and tactictian
Stated to be a literal *wound* in the force
Demolished a rebellion on Danooine
Conviced an immortal being to die
Defeated a powerful manipulative foe
Defeated a Planet-Surface Level buster
Revan and Exile's cause of death
Defeat at he hands of a maniac and a cheap gary stu knock off of Palpatine an Nihilus as a result of incompetent writing from a company who was told to make a lackuster subpar MMO by evil corparate lunatics who desire wealth no matter how good the product is, as opposed to making a satisfying conclusio the Knights Of The Old Reoublic games
I like Meetra Surik and her being female. But the rest of it I can agree with! 😂
Yes, I would also say that there could have been a more epic story than that. Two of the greatest characters written and in terms of power defeated by a Lord solely created to be stronger than any Sith since.
But Meetra always stands in the shadow of the great Revan in those tellings and I'm grateful you are one to acknowledge this. And yes, still referring to the exile as female. Because I love the idea of a strong female lead. She has been a role model for me as Carrie Fisher has been to many young girls. Of course look at the exile in whatever way you want but my point stands :P
It mirrors Revan, I like that Revan is Male and Meetra is Female. This story was in essence, simply devised as a means to set up the MMO. Lazy story telling at its finest. If you're writing something, just for the sake of ensuring continuity with something else, there's no creativity, there's limits, there's a lack of passion and this story suffers from exactly those things.
Revans life and story are so compelling just watching this videos has made me such a fan!
Immediately SUBSCRIBED! We need to sign a petition for the Revan movie....it could be an EPIC TRILOGY.... and send it to Disney!
Thank you for the support! There are probably loads of petitions haha
@@100StarWars man, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOUR CONTENT. I LOVE THE OLD STAR WARS UNIVERSE! I don't know how I've been missing your channel but I am DAMN GLAD I HAVE FOUND IT! THANKS FOR THE HARD WORK YOU HAVE PUT IN TO MAKE THIS CONTENT! I'm sure I can speak for a lot of us fans, it's been needed for a long time. Hell, I think Disney would be lucky to have you on staff to help get their expanded universe up and running! Now there's a petition that NEEDS TO REALLY GET STARTED!
I appreciate that, Daniel :)
My gosh, what a fascinating story. Maybe even better than any other.
Yeah...I won’t deny what Swotor and Drew did to Revan undermines a lot of Kotor 1-2, but what they did hardly compares to the travesty of Disney’s takeover.
I think what makes me love the Old Republic Era so much is the truth that the good guys don’t always win, and there are always consequences to shit. But it doesn’t mean what Revan and Meetra did was meaningless.
Revan with the aid of Meetra’s Ghost, Fought off the Dreadmasters and Emporer for over 300 years mentally, and considering how Revan emerged, we’re lucky he hadn’t completely lost his mind.
Swotor has its problems, but they damned as hell gave it their all to make us as happy as they could.
I'm repeating myself but I still must give another shout to Darth Zannah! The first Sith Master and Mistress of the Rule Of Two!
I would be very interested in to hear what you have to say about her, especially if you can find out more what happened with her between the 2nd and 3rd book of the Bane-trilogy and what happened after the 3rd one.
I'd have to cover bane first 😉
Whenever I feel disappointed about the events of The Foundry, I just try to think about it this way: it took joint efforts of the heir to Kallig & Tulak Hord, the soon-to-be Emperor's Wrath, the agent who beat Darth Jadus, and the Champion of the Great Hunt to defeat him.
That's true!
Swotor has its problems, but they damned as hell gave it their all to make us as happy as they could.
This was awesome!!! So glad you did this series!!! I never knew anything beyond Canon and it’s so cool to experience Star Wars anew.
He is def My favorite Jedi. Love that he was able to understand the light and dark and master them. Beautiful and Thank You for this story 😁😁😁
Glad you enjoyed it :)
Epic storytelling. Well done mate, well done.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it :)
The enemy of my enemy isn't always my friend. You should always be careful and have someone you trust guard your back in that type of situation, unless in Revan's case, he was desperate.
reven is the badass sith lord. cheers
I waited until i saw all 5 episodes to sub to truly feel it was deserved, the consistency of how in depth and good the story telling is in this series is stunning and he has nowhere to go but up Revan has always been my favorite character of Star Wars in its entirety and maybe Bioware and EA didn't give him a proper send off or do his character justice. But 100% Star Wars you sure did and managed to pick up the slack where the writers set it down.
That's some hefty praise, thank you! I'm really glad you enjoyed it :)
I have absolutely loved this series because Revan is one of my favorite characters. However, this episode was the hardest to follow because this was the part I knew the least about. I used to love SWTOR but I never got very far and always intended to go back and play it again, but never did. I was always so confused trying to understand SWTORs Revan story, but after watching this it’s clear that SWTOR is just convoluted AF. Lol. I have enjoyed watching these very much.
I've delved into all things starwars. Revan is by far my favorite. I think steam has the original kotar... Time get my Jedi DND on.
Revan is the Player (kotor 1) ...the developers had no right to decide his fate.
for example for me revan is a darkside female
Except they did. Revan is such an influential character in Star Wars lore. It would be weird if every time they mentioned Revan they couldn’t tell you what his gender was or what he did after Kotor. Play KoTOR however you want, but you can’t get mad that your idea of Revan isn’t the canon one.
Thank you so much for your story. I loved every minute of it!
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for the kind words :D
It was a great series. I watched the whole thing in one go.
I came here from Eckhart's channel after watching the video you made for him on the Eternal Fleet, which was also great.
You've earned my Sub quickly, but I was to absorbed by the content of Revan's story that I'm only pushing the button now.
Thanks for this awesome content and cheers from France! 🍻
PS: Revan's story would make for a hell of a TV show, if done right of course.
The right person for the job with the resources necessary could work.
Merci! That all means a lot to me! I'm glad my content convinced you to stay :)
Best mini series I’ve ever listened to!
Wow, just wow!
That was some amazing story telling n your part and amazing detail put into the video!
I a a little mad I’ll never be able to experience the “deaths” of revan. (Stupid pc only mmo!) but I really am glad that your brought light to one of my favorite characters in all of Star Wars
I've gotta say, I'm very impressed with these videos, telling the stories of characters I'm not too clear on, maybe you can do videos focusing on events, such as the great hyperspace war and/or the great Sith war, just a thought...
I do intend to focus some more on new topics in the future!
I have to say, I was not a fan of the way the story treated Revan in the end. It was both overblown and yet also somewhat lacking in substance. I think it was interesting up to the point that you free him from the Emperor. After that, the game makers did not know what to do with him, and would have been better advised to have left him out altogether.
I agree. He was only placed within the game to drive sales from nostalgic fans. When really, he had no place in the story.
Excellent job! Binged all 5 episodes, great work.
Actually it was Theron Shan, not Satele, who was captured by are an and rescued.
Indeed it was, I made a comment clearing that up!
I enjoyed this series a lot, well done! ur channel is so underrated👏👏👏👏
That means a lot - Thank you and I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
Loved this series I believe I have a new favorite Sith Lord thank you. I would like to see a series on darth bane
You do such great work. I loved the series. Keep it up : D
I'm really glad you enjoyed the whole series :) Thanks for watching!
Kick ass series mate!!!!!!!!
Thank you!!
I’m so happy I found this channel! Also you should do the story of Viciate
I have my eye on him.
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭poor reaven ! I will follow reavens examples and learn both sides of the force rest in peace reaven and long live your name,story,and teachings !!
Let the emotions flow!
@@100StarWars through you
@@generalgrievous4722 Gooooood
Great analysis. Thank you.
😊
Jesus Christ, this series was amazing man! It was so immersive. You mentioned 2 Shans at the end, they were part of the team who defeated Revan, who are they? are they related to Bastila?
Sorry for the delay, yes the Shan family is related to Revan and Bastila!
I think you have done almost all the characters that I care about, I think you missed Mira from KoToR 2, other than that, you have done everyone, Bastila perhaps as well? Carth? Mission? Canderous? anyways, Mira is the only one missing from KoToR 2 at least.
And to everyone that hates how this ended, I get it. But you must understand why Drew wrote the book the way he did. I hated the ending because it made so little sense why Scourge would do what he did other than . but that is why it was written the way it was. as for Drews writing of the Exile, I kinda liked it. he really captured her full personality. this older mentor type. she is older than Bastila, which you also sense when you read about them conversing before she leaves to find Revan, I really do love everything about the book except the ending, but I understand why it's written that way, it had to, because the game was already made by the time the book was due to be published so.... I have no hard feelings about this what so ever, I lived 98% about it. 1% that is missing is how Meetra died, the last one is her lack of ability useage in the book. she has all sorts of fancy powers and she hardly used any.
Other than that I'm totally cool with it now, I'm over it.
Well, in terms of her abilities and uniqueness, he got it completely wrong. I do intend to do Mira in the near future (Hopefully) so keep an eye out :)
Wow I have to say these videos are brilliant, I’ve played all the games but to have he story told like this really puts it all in perspective. Great work !
Thank you. I appreciate that :)
Love the videos, Revan is my favorite Star Wars character. However I could be mistaken, but I believe Disney said Kotor is canon, but Tor is not.
Sadly, nothing in that Era is currently canon.
You are my hero I have unlimited power thanks to you
Thanks! 😊
theron shan was kidnapped by Revan not Satele..
Crap... You're right, thanks for pointing this out. I only played through the expansion once and got the name mixed up when researching as everything just said 'Shan', and I must have instinctively put Satele by accident. Thanks again man.
Awesome videos my g. The best character in star wars history is revan 👌🏻
Glad you enjoyed it, Luke!
So sad man i remember playing the dlc as well it was epic and sad
Indeed :(
thanks for telling the Revan History. what was of his mask? It is still waiting to be found in Yavin IV? It must be a very powerful force object
Who knows... Its never been explore further.
Fantastic!
Thank you!
The handmaiden. She’s my favorite character for KOTOR II
😬😁
Briana has been done, the only character missing from KoToR 2 is Mira
Sad day for Revan
Do a backstory video to Visas Marr or Mira
Visas is at the top of my list!
Please make one about master windu who was a grey Jedi 🙏🏽 Thank you
Thanks mate! This was awesome.
Kyle Katarn
What a fantastic effort this is! Bravo!
Thank you!
Revan novel is great and one of my favorite books
I’m so late on this great production vaule please keep making these your great man
Thank you! There's still a chapter to go for you ;)
@@100StarWars their great man I’ve been bingeing ur videos thank you for taking ur time to do this only a true fan can put this kind of content out and I’ll be sure to share to all my Star Wars nerds 😊
Revan is hands down the coolest character and def my fave.
That's seems a bit biased hehe
@@100StarWars What ever could you be talking about lol
absolutely loving the content
Thank you :)
Thank you for your amazing work about this fascinating character. I just finished KOTOR II for the first time (actually it took me 7 years in total to complete both games due to some other life distractions lol) and discovered your channel right after searching for enlightenment about the game's plot (Kreia's motivations in particular). And damn I love this Characters Explained serie. Keep it on !
To get back to Revan, I didn't read the book neither did I play the SWTOR extension about him. Hearing from here and there that Karpyshyn's treatment of Revan and Meetra Surik was bad saddens me (as I enjoyed Karpyshyn's Mass Effect novels). From what I can tell from your story, the plot sounds okay until this Foundry crap. It just sounds like some self plagiarism of the Star Forge. The Exile's death seems also really disappointing. Maybe I'll read the book and play the SWTOR extension to build my own opinion, but I don't feel any incitement damn.
Thank you for the kind words, it means a lot! I'm really glad I could help expand your knowledge of this wonderful world :) I'd say give it a go, and make up your own mind, but I hated SWTOR's connection to KOTOR personally!
Truly was the true hero of the galaxy.
You should do a podcast on Star Wars characters ,that would be awesome
A podcast?
Yes I would love to listen to all the Star Wars characters at work 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Podcast is an all audio format on apple , people can listen when and where they want , I see no others doing what you are , if you start a Podcast I want to be your first subscriber
Man this is so much better storytelling than disney did they had a gold mine and they gave us the sequels. KOTOR 2 as a whole has the best storytelling in Star Wars
The death of T3 was saddening..
It's heartbreaking...
EA did my man so dirty. Revan & the old republic is where my love for Star was really grew.
Pour one out for the Master & Exile
Light Side Revan: We have been apart for a long time, Revan. We need to repair what the Emperor has done. Let the Force claim you, as it had our old friend.
Dark Side Revan: Malak. And in the end, as the Darkness takes me, I am nothing. Now I truly know how you felt, my friend. (The two halves merge)
Any chance you'll do a Character Explained of HK-47?
One day!
You really gave him justice, unlike SWTOR
I did my best, glad you enjoyed it!
This was awesome! We want Boba Fett!
Drew fucked a perfectly diverse and tortured character. Damn. Never will I forgive him.
Plagueis
Did you ever hear the tragedy?
@@100StarWars It's a story the Jedi won't tell you.
poor bastard. he should've gotten back to carth and lived happyishly ever after
Revans over confidence led to his downfall
Possibly...
beautiful
I get Revan’s Light Side merged w the Force. I also can accept his Dark Side remained within his body. And because of Ben Kenobi, I can also accept Reven’s body can be transferred, by The Force, from the real to the ethereal - the Dark Side in Revan’s case.
But what happened to his physical body from the time of his defeat at the Foundry through the four years he remained in hiding? Did it ever manifest back to the physical realm, or did his body/Dark Side remain with the (Dark Side?) Force until ‘it’ agreed to rejoin his Light Side?
To simplify the question, was his defeat at The Foundry the last time his body walked the earth?
YOU DA FUCKING MAN! THANKS FOR POSTING THIS!!!
Haha, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
i hope you tell the story of the hero of typhon and the barsenthor
There's a bit too much to cover for my liking with the SWTOR Protags, but I'll consider it.
