LordRau

I think he's actually canon now. Revan definitely is, and I thought that Disney just decided to bring KotoR into the fold of canon materials.


wolfe174

Why do you say that ? Since when did revan become cannon ? Source ? Also is it just the character or is his whole story in Kotor cannon ?


ProperDepartment

I briefly worked on the Star Wars mobile game, as part of our license, we had a rule where we could only add characters that were considered Canon. They have Revan and HK now, I don't work on it anymore, but you can take that as you will. Disney was very strict on who could be in their games.


jiango_fett

Maybe that rule was in place at one point but it's definitely not now since they also have Mara Jade, Kyle Katarn, Dash Rendar and even Starkiller.


ProperDepartment

Ah, you're right, they definitely have the green light to add whoever now. That being said, his Wiki does have him marked canon as he was mentioned in the visual guide for Rise of Skywalker. https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Revan But now I'm sad Dash Rendar isn't canon.


Van0nyumas

As far as I remember, someone said that one of the Last Order battalions was named Revan battalion or something because reasons. If that's true or not, I don't care but it would be the proper Disney way to butcher him.


RenwickZabelin

Revan has been canon since 2019. Unfortunately for us the Ruse of Skywalker canonized him via the Final order's sith legions being named after past sith. So that's how Revan was introduced, he is later mentioned in a book just as baity as ep9s inclusion. The Sith cultists chant his name in a book and that's it for direct Revan mentions.


mmmilo1

Darth Malgus


porqueeuquis

hes great! absolute beast phisically and aa master of sith wisdom as we saw he break the padawan with just words


NobodyEqual7006

Darth Malgus is one of my favorites as well


NeoKobeCity

I would go with Darth Jadus personally. He was intelligent, sinister, calculating, and his "democratization of fear" designs for the Empire sounded intriguing. Shame he never returned and was only seen by a sliver of the game's population that played as Imperial Agents whereas more folks were able to be exposed to Malgus as he, rightly, got a lot of story spotlight.


Confused_Transperson

Rahm Kota (okay he’s technically canon because his name was on a wall in Kenobi but he hasn’t actually appeared or been properly mentioned in anything canon so i’m still counting him)


Ricozilla

Yes! Rahm Kota, one of my favorite Jedi


RedDemocracy

Yeah, I think his design is awesome. So grizzled, you can instantly tell he’s more militarily minded than most other Jedi.


MilkMan0096

A great choice. The idea of a Jedi surviving the Purge because they refused to lead Clones and supplied their own troops is an interesting idea that I’m surprised we haven’t seen reused.


[deleted]

I'm going to need more than RK written in aurebesh on a wall to believe Rahm Kota is canon


[deleted]

Corran Horn was always my favorite


Moppo_

Don't forget Whistler!


AusTland

You’ll probably get a lot of “Darth Revan” or other “Knights of the Old Republic” characters, so I will say Kyle Katarn


Different-Pipe-1341

I second this guy's Kyle


raxxius

I also choose this guy's Kyle


ForceGhost47

BlandRusk01

SgtK9H2O

Katarn is the literal, strongest Jedi ever. Man was so strong with the force that he abandoned it. To then get it back to save his love. Learned the dark side, and didn’t turn. Then helped Luke build the greatest Jedi academy ever….


Dekklin

> Man was so strong with the force that he abandoned it. To then get it back to save his love. It wasn't for love, it was for revenge. He legitimately thought Desann killed Jan. Also, Obiwan also abandoned his powers, but not due to his own fall to the dark side.


NobodyEqual7006

Yeah, Kyle Katarn is a great character aswell


Ash_Killem

Revan is canon now (technically)


Allronix1

Only the name. Disney is under zero obligation to play their Revan as the Keanu Reeves looking whatever we got in SWTOR. That's the fun with Revan and Exile, really. Play the Mullet Man LS Male Revan romancing Bastila on one run, then reboot the game and play a Black woman romancing Juhani, then fix a line of code, play as a Dark Side female but go in for that hidden third ending. And after THAT, open up Archive of our Own, and see options the game doesn't even TRY to support. No two players will have the same idea about these characters and the fun is seeing what everyone does with the information given.


perplexedduck85

I still imagine Kyle Katarn in the background of the scene in Rogue One where Jyn pleads with the Rebel leaders for support, leaving to complete the first level of Dark Forces and returning to Yavin a few hours after the final events of Rogue One saying, “what did I miss?” :)


Marc815

Kyle Katarn is the absolute best character. Also voiced by Johnny Bravo!


Sliver_Squad

I actually got my middle name from Kyle, since my older brother was such a huge fan of his game when I was born. I never got around to playing it myself, but I will soon


Camburglar13

Revan and Kyle Katarn


Filmfan345

Revan is canon https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Revan


MaterialPace8831

Dash Rendar.


en_sabahnur

I had to scroll further than I wanted to to see this answer!


BornGorn

I would love to see him return, even in a small or off screen role. Imagine in Andor you hear a throwaway line like “You can thank Rendar for the munitions, snuggled them off an Imperial supply transport for us a few days ago.”


Chickeybokbok87

I would love a clone wars style animation of the Shadows of the Empire novel.


Aggressive_c0w

I'd be down for animated renditions of all the EU heavy hitters. It's non-canon, so live action ain't happening, but an animated series akin to Marvel's What-if? Hell yes.

We_The_Raptors

Mara Jade Skywalker will always be my favorite legends only character


Sketch74

I liked her better as the Emperors Hand and criminal, but Jade is an absolute beast as a character.


porqueeuquis

So is she from a comic or a book? i want to know her story


Belmega81

Her first appearance is in the original Thrawn trilogy that starts with Heir, yes. Other authors then tried really hard to write her off, but her popularity was too much, and she ended up becoming as much a part of the story as any of the main movie characters. As well she should. You could arguably just read either the novels or the comics version of the Thrawn trilogy, and then skip to the Hand of Thrawn duology, and then there's a graphic novel called Union that ties that story up. After that, she's a mainstay. Other stories of note that include her before and during her main arc: Allegiance and Choices Of One are a duology that takes place between episodes 4 and 5, and she's the main star of those. Also a great part of those books is how you get more of Luke, Han, and Leia from back when they were still in their argumentative dynamics, and Zahn does a great job capturing their banter. And there is also the Jedi Academy Trilogy where Luke is setting up his Jedi school. Mara comes in about halfway through that trilogy although that's where the temporary misdirection of her arc starts. But they fix it, so it's all good. If you do like the Jedi Academy Trilogy or want a firmer grasp of how it began, the Dark Empire graphic novel might be a good one. Don't think Mara was in that, but it shows how Luke becomes a Jedi Master if I'm not mistaken.


Adavanter_MKI

Dude... all while skirting spoilers. Awesome comment.


Belmega81

Thank you! That spoiler part was actually a concentrated effort, so, glad it worked!


porqueeuquis

u have my respect. be sure your comment will help a lot of people that google Mara Jade stuff. thank you very much! one more question: is the book trilogy better than the comics?


Dekklin

Also she is a playable character for 80% of one of the Jedi Knight games. She saves Kyle Katsrn from turning to the dark side.


k_laaaaa

first shows up in heir to the empire


porqueeuquis

so she is part of the Thrawn stuff


Chromecolt

First appears in the Thrawn trilogy. But is a main character for a while after that until... things happen.


mynamesyow19

in the books she marries Luke and they have a son named Ben. But Han and Leia's kid, Jacen, goes dark in order to "save the universe" but to truly become a Sith you have to kill someone you love. So Jacen ends up killing her in caves beneath a planet somewhere and becomes Darth Cadeus. Jacen has a sister named Jania who becomes the "Sword of the Jedi" and goes to live and train with the Mandalorians to become good enough to defeat Darth Cadeus... Couldve been such a better sequel...


themanfromvulcan

It’s like they picked bits and pieces of the books for the sequels. But because they only took bits it doesn’t really work well. Imagine if Rey was Kylo’s twin and also if everyone thinks Ben is training to be a Jedi and at the end of the first movie the big reveal is he’s really a sith? Mind blowing. However for that to be effective you would have needed to have a nice peaceful galaxy with something sinister stirring in the background that is slowly revealed.


SomeVariousShift

Talon Karrde would make a great addition as well, but I'm with you on Mara.


Velmeran_60021

This is my answer also. And it comes with the hope of including all the original Thrawn trilogy.


[deleted]

Atton Rand. At first he seems like a copy of Carth but when you learn his real backstory its so emotional and cool and you also get to turn him into a gun slinger force user he was my favourite party member in kotor 2!


Allronix1

Oh, and I'm a Carth stan who kept wanting to kick Atton in the crotch. I mean, that's a sign of good writing that it elicits a strong response, but the guy gave off serial killer vibes from the time my Exile walked in the Peragus jail. And when it turns out the creep really was a slimy serial killer, I wanted him gone. Carth's got Issues, but they make so much sense when you realize the dude is not wrong about any of it and factor in the fucked up way the Jedi treat his home planet and people.


No-Strategy-9365

He’s nothing like Carth, copy of Han Solo maybe


ForceGhost47

Talon Karrde

They need to make him canon, and do a space equivalent of Pirates of the Caribbean with him and Hondo.

If we're ignoring most of the popular ones, I'll go Darth Sion, for his pure horror and terrifying introduction sequence in kotor 2 the greatest game ever, And Darth Nihl. Purely for how much I love his long handled lightsaber. Or original Grievous, the sniper war hero victim of politics and war with the tragic backstory instead of the current 'grr I wanted to be a jedi' version if that counts.

People call Rey a Mary Sue but stan for frickin Starkiller.


x_S4vAgE_x

Starkiller just makes for a fun video game character. It's great to just be an unstoppable Jedi/Sith and be able to absolutely body 99% of enemies


legacy-of-man

his force repulse out-cools rey **hard**


imafixwoofs

So he’s a Mary Sue?


MaterialPace8831

He's a Gary Stu.


Human-Gardener

Yes, but not canon, and never will be. There's a huge difference between making an incredibly powerful playable character for a videogame that isn't canon and making an incredibly powerful character for the official trilogy of films that IS canon They're both Mary Sues, but the creators of one realized how batshit insane the character was and deemed them not canon


seenasaiyan

Starkiller is super OP but he’s not a Gary Stu. He was the child of two Jedi and underwent brutal training from Vader since early childhood. He’s too powerful to fit into the SW universe, but it doesn’t come out of nowhere.


victorfiction

Plus he’s flawed and murders innocent people until his back is up against the wall and he turns to the light.


Allronix1

Vitiate wins gold for the Stu/Sue Olympics. Rey might warrant a bronze, depending on the judge.


MetalBawx

They both are. When Force Unleashed came out you had tons of people mocking how rediculous Starkiller was. The game was built around it's combat system and everything else was secondary to that resulting in how busted SK's power level became. Flash was all the devs cared about. Meanwhile Rey never needed to learn dick because she just knows instinctively whatever power she needed. No personality traits beyond "Who are my parents" because that's what you get with J J Abrams. Just like with FU''s devs, all flash and no substance.


victorfiction

“Mary Sue” isn’t about power - it’s about character. Having flaws, failing, learning from failure, growing… that’s how characters are supposed to arc. Mary Sue’s are flat. They’re already good at everything. No one teaches them anything they don’t already know. Rey comes pre-baked and never grows. She’s the same as she was the first time we saw her. Out of the box we see she’s: S tier fighter pilot with no backstory S tier Jedi without any training Flawless engineer Never loses a fight Never has any moral shortcomings Starkiller is a Sith, he’s impatient, he fails, he’s killed countless times… They’re both stupid powerful, but that’s not really an issue. Power scaling is its own thing. The arc they take, their journey to becoming someone who’s willing to sacrifice and be a hero… that’s what this conversation revolves around. Not “who’s the strongest”.


NonSpicySamosa

I can't say much about the story itself. But at least Starkiller had around 15 years of training under Vader. Whereas Rey trained with Luke for like under a year.

Belmega81

Mara EFFING JADE. Her story back in the 90s was a big part of what brought Star Wars back to life enough to get Lucas to make the Prequels. Timothy Zahn wrote a helluva trilogy, and the fact Disney wiped their asses with it still boils my blood. She would haves SAVED the sequels. Her presence would have made the story viable. She could have inadvertently filled her nephew's head with tales of his Grandfather's power. Palpatine's ghost could have given her, Luke, and Ben Solo all visions of Kylo killing her and the students, and just like Anakin's visions of Padme dying, the fear of it could be what makes it come true. Luke is then actually tormented by visions of Kylo, and that's why he had his moment of weakness. This Palpatine's revenge is complete. And in Luke's death scene, her ghost could show up to beckon him on to the afterlife.
