"Savior, conqueror, hero, villian. You are all of these things, Revan... and yet you are nothing. In the end, you belong to neither the light nor the darkness. You will forever stand alone."
@Orion Valentine How is he the Forse? As Kreia described him: ”He is a wound in the Force, more presence than flesh, and in his wake life dies" and ”There is no strength in the hunger he possesses… and the will behind his power is a primal thing. And it devours him as he devours others-his mere presence kills all around him, slowly, feeding him. He is already dead, it is simply a question of how many he kills before he falls.“ So for me he is more of a walking representation of hunger and death, but in no way a Force itself.
What I like about this is that even a beginner could learn the first 42 seconds and the last 28 seconds of the song. Put those together and you have something that sounds nice even if it isn't very complex.
Imma learn this on my Melodica ASAP so I can flex on the fam Edit: After looking back at it, PROBABLY CAN'T DO THAT Edit 2: Well I sorta can, but it's gonna be quite incomplete as the range isn't big enough. I have 37 keys, and this requires much more than 37 keys. Hecc
I swear if they ever make a movie or show about just Revan, they need to get this song as the theme. Not the theme itself, but your version of it you are playing now, this is amazing.
In my opinion, this arrangement perfectly reflects Revan's life. It starts softly, bringing a feeling of peace and calm. It reminds me of when Revan was a Jedi. He was calm, curious, peaceful, weak... until he joined the Mandalorian wars at 0:45 and began to draw closer to the dark side. 1:03 is when Revan became the Dark Lord of the Sith, destroying all who opposed him, and betraying the Jedi. It seemed as though he was unstoppable... but he was still not as powerful as he could and will be. He is defeated and captured at 1:32, and his memory is taken from him. He begins to train as a Jedi once more, and there is momentary peace. After many struggles, he encounters Malak. 1:50 is when he discovers who he once was. He is Darth Revan! After this realization, he grows more powerful and draws closer to the dark side. He saves Bastila, and proceeds to challenge Malak. Malak is defeated at 2:05 and Revan reclaims his title as the Dark Lord of the Sith. He destroys the Republic and, if I remember correctly, the Star Forge as well. He has won. However, despite having such incredible power, not even Revan could live forever. At 2:26 he reaches the end of his life. Having killed the Emperor, he's fulfilled his destiny. He can now rest... And yet, as the darkness takes him... he is nothing.
I can agree with most of what you said apart from, "It reminds me of when Revan was a Jedi. He was calm, curious, peaceful, weak..." since even when he was a mere Padawan he was constantly learning and was seen as one of if not the most promising Jedi.
Awesome interpretation of the song, anyway the "canon" ending for kotor 1 is the light side ending where Revan rescues Bastila from the dark side and destroys the star forge. It is written in the novel that is a sequel from both events of kotor 1 and 2.
Of all RPGs I think KoTOR is the one that resonated with me most, I didn't know the twist in advance and my mind was blown, and Revan will always be one of my absolute favourite characters. He is also the only one who really makes sense concerning light and dark side, what matters are your actions and intentions, not the emotions you use. This piece is amazing, thank you very much :)
Honestly Since none of legends is Canon, Revan should be a woman, simply because its the only way disney will actually make it a movie. since its the story of revan that we like and not the genitalia it really wouldnt matter and hell a gay revan romancing bastilla would be alright in my books ;)
@@Zeitgeist2000 But revan is still flawed seeing as how he fell to the dark side. As if Disney would ever let a female protagonist have actual flaws or anything :-/
@@hothoploink1509 Revan is an actual character with development, if obsidian could make a silent protag as loved as revan, Disney would have to actually try to make it bad. again Revans gender is not set since legends arent canon, that means it can be either or so a movie about a character that would be loved by all that also happens to be a powerful female would check all of disneys boxes
@@Zeitgeist2000 I understand what you're saying, but there is no doubt in my mind that Disney would find a way to fuck it up. They fucked up Star Wars, they were too stupid too write a trilogy and then start filming rather making it up as they went along, and the rest of their modern stuff is also crap. Even the MCU is going downhill. Better no new movie than more bad ones.
@@hothoploink1509 ah but is the dark side the only flawed side? Is the light side the right side? I come from a very strong religious background, broke away when I realized just how badly I thought of myself because I was making normal people decisions. It’s scary how much religion relates to the light side. Both sides can make equally drastic mistakes. They’re both flawed. Just they make the Sith evil cuz their line of thinking leads to purposely selfish and bad decisions easier. Just sayin
This absolute legend here just taught Revan's story with a PIANO, I mean come on that is OP. It starts off with Revan's training under the Jedi only to end a bit abruptly to signal the influence of Arren Kae/Kreia. At 0:44 Revan joins the Mandalorian Wars, he learns the true cost of war and battle but learns to exploit it, riding out the storm and getting closer to the dark side. At 1:02 he and Arren Kae discover the teachings of Malachor, changing their views forever. Revan and Malak committed a war crime on the planet to save everyone, they learn of the true threat and rush into the unknown regions to fight it, only to be mind-controlled and sent to the Star Forge, but Revan's will is far stronger than most and on the Star Forge he breaks free of the mind-control. On the 1:10 mark, Revan remembers Master Kae's teachings, he realizes that they are the only way to stop Vitiate, and so the Jedi Civil War rages, Revan begins to understand what he is truly capable of, far surpassing even the greatest Jedi, physically, in the force and intellect. At 1:25 Revan is captured by Bastila and betrayed by Malak, he loses all of his power and the knowledge to save the galaxy from Vitiate. At 1:38 Revan starts to regain his memories, the closer he pushes towards redemption the stronger he gets and with Bastila and Jolee's guidance, he betters himself as an individual becoming a true balance in the force. At 1:54 Revan defeats Malak and saves the galaxy, he becomes more powerful than ever before. Eventually, he remembers the true sith empire and runs off on his own to fight it but even 300 years of constant mental and physical torture from Vitiate doesn't stop him. By 2:08 Revan has remembered everything and fought his final battle at Balmora, his spirit reunites with itself after splitting, and even as a spirit he helps the republic push Tenebrae back one last time. At 2:26 the Emperor is finally defeated and along with Meetra and all of the other spirits that helped against the Emperor he becomes one with the force, finally resting in peace.
Just because of Atinpiano playing this I had the passion to learn this song myself. I love it! Raven is my favorite Starwars character, and his and Anakin Skywalker's theme songs are my favs as well
i see how at the beginning of the piano cover it was only purple to symbolize how Revan was a light side warrior. the song is peaceful and calm. until it isn’t. the colors turn to red. and the notes become more at war like how Revan was with the mandalorian wars. until it eventually turns to chaos. and then it goes peaceful again to symbolize his return to the light after losing his memory. but note by note he gains back his memory and it turns more to balance of the chaos and the peace and creates the perfect symphony. i respect you artist, for telling my story with notes and colors. your creativity is immeasurable
Does a wonderful job of playing to the internal conflict that is central to Revans character. The harsh melodies giving way to the somber tones. Light side kotor era Revan struggling against the mandalorian wars Revan who was dragged into darkness
Finally! I’ve waited for this piano cover and it didn’t disappoint. Maybe the next one could be a cover from another franchise, maybe Ghost of Tsushimas main theme?
Omg that was beyond beautiful im seriously crying it was that gorgeous this is the only time ive ever had tears come to my eye for any type of cover divine job just gotten a sub bigtime
I do not know why, but there seems to be a vicious glitch with 2160p60 resolution _specifically._ If I attempt to use it, the video lags and buffers like an epiletic individual stuck inside a room covered in flashing screens. It is... most peculiar. I do not know if it is a fault of my own computer, or something else. but the fact that all other resolution settings avaialble don't have any such problems would compel me to believe it is "something else" instead.... :p Anyyway, beyond that, this is truly beautiful. Words cannot properly describe the emotion I feel from this. Thank you, Atin, for giving this to all of we nameless and faceless viewers. I appreciate this cover beyond measure.
Wait, since when is this Revan's Theme? This is the melody for the last section of the Occupation of Balmorra, is it not? Revan's actual theme melody is the one that people recognize best as the Endar Spire music. Whenever Revan shows up, is referenced or discussed in any other media this is the melody that will play.

As Darth Traya would say "It's like staring at the heart of the Force."

"Even then you could see the Jedi he would slay *etched on his soul."*

When u put this on Spotify, I can add this to my Atinpiano and Sam Kim playlist 🙌🏻😂
Revan proved that all of your emotions are valid. What matters is what you do with them.
The purple and red contrast is such a great touch
Finally Darth Revan theme, I was waiting for this moment so long.
THIS. Incredible. Has wisps of a hero, the fall, sadness, tragedy, alone….

The man the myth the legend
Atin piano
definitely one of the greatest star wars themes of all time!
Revan is easily my top favorite number one Sith/Jedi. He has such a good story arc and the fact he had such power blows my mind
The force is strong with this one!! Excellent performance!!
your my fav jedi
I see what you did there and I'm positively delighted by it. With the key guides being purple for right hand and red for the left hand. Nice.
The amount of reverb in this song fills the emptiness in my soul. Beautiful...
Back with another Star Wars cover! Epic!!
Revan's story is still one of the best i've encountered in Star Wars
Absolute amazing.
Yess, Darth Revan theme
AWESOME! Please do the Darth Malak, Nihilus and Malgus themes too!
Best theme of all time
This is absolutely incredible! Revan’s theme is amazing and so is your cover!
Poetic! Made me shed a tear because I miss my Revan very much.
This music completely conveys the hard life and the life of the best Star Wars character! ❤️💜

can't stop listening to this gorgeous cover just love it so much
1:02 pure fire!!!!
THE COLORS ARE ON THE CORRECT SIDES THIS MAKES ME SO HAPPY!!!!!!!!
That is the most talented person I have ever seen.
I love the color choice for the different musical tones.
“Honour is of no use to the dead.” “Glory is a fools prize.” - Revan
Currently two thirds of the way through learning this, well done it sounds amazing!
Edit: Almost finished!
This is insane... U are a man of culture and skill, a rare combination (especially on yt)!! Pls do a Bastila Shan theme next ❤️
Pleaseeeee!!
This is one of the most gorgeous piano covers I have ever heard and I thank you for making it!
Does a wonderful job of playing to the internal conflict that is central to Revans character. The harsh melodies giving way to the somber tones.

This is gonna blow up RISE REVAN FANS
Oh man this one was good, and that’s saying something since I’ve never played the old republic so I know very little about Revan.
There are also novels about Revan.
That generally considered to be pretty terrible.
You should play KotOR instead of SWTOR for info on Revan.
If you really want a in depth look into revan, play kotor 2 and listen to the dialogue.
That was beautiful! 5/5!
Omg that was beyond beautiful im seriously crying it was that gorgeous this is the only time ive ever had tears come to my eye for any type of cover divine job just gotten a sub bigtime
His theme is so tragic, but so beautiful
I'd like to see more covers from the original KotOR.
Would love to see Rebuilt Jedi Enclave and the Sith Lords Theme especially
Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
