So we all saw this posted on the Front Page right? Right.
Anyway, @DickFaceCat posted the full resolution image in the comments
Wait a second, what does it say there?
Right there, just under the heading...
No... Could it truly be?
It is! The Scourge of Malachor! what is that you might ask? Not important. But what is important is...
It's Malachor! As in Malachor V! The planet from Star Wars KOTOR II that had been destroyed in the Mandalorian wars!
And who was responsible for this destruction you might ask?
The one. The only. Darth Revan! The greatest Jedi(And at one point Sith) in the entirety of the pre-Disney Purge continuity.
Do you know what this means? He might still be alive! Revan might still be alive! We might see him yet!
EDIT: It's been coming up in the comments a lot so, to clarify, I meant canon, not alive. I just used alive for the Back to the Future sort of thing.
Also send duck pics

All I see is a face on his stomach

Possibly a Power Rangers helmet, Gold Ranger.
DanielReader
This refers to the design as Ancient in the same breath it mentions the Malachor so it might be wayyyy past Revans time. Still cool though
octopolopoly
Well Malachor was 4000 years ago, remember. That's pretty ancient by any standards.
sirrobbifo
Revan non-canon believers, there may be hope. They're making a 6 inch Black Series figure of him.

Omg, i might just have to replay KOTOR I & II, which i convieniëntly picked up this steam sale :D (Revan ROCKS!)

RagingOyster
Revan is so over-hyped it's crazy. He's BioWare's Mary sue super jedi
aromaticfable
Yea, never did get the Revan hype. He's cool and all, but he's the greatest Jedi to have ever walked the Galaxy.
aromaticfable
*not the greatest Jedi to have ever walked the galaxy.
volatiley
sure, why not
riiska
Unless Disney changes it, Revan is dead. He became one with the Force at the end of SoR expac for SWtOR.

thats like saying that playing baseball in the distant future with bats of current design, means Babe Ruth might still be alive

It's probably just a nod stuck in by the writer to material that's no longer canon.
Heisenbergerandfries
It's canon to me man, KOTOR is one of the best things ever with the Star wars name attached to it.
mrwowiezowie
Great post, but the most important thing on that page of the book is "Accusing fingers reinforce unquestioned authority."
nicefully
LOL. I always wondered why he raised his finger slightly!
Hayven
I have to break it to you: according to the description, the sword itself is dated back thousands of years. (1/2)
Hayven
So Revan might as well be dead for these thousands of years. But that doesn't change that I'd like to see him in the film as well :) (2/2)
IllCaesar
He's alive in a continuity sense, sure, but he's dead. It'd be much better to see HK-47. That glorious assassin droid on the silver screen.
SufferinSappho
The Exile would be the Great Scourge of Malachor, pretty sure, not Revan. Revan wasn't at Malachor.
phandaal
"Hand gestures help visualize force techniques" been telling myself that since 1st grade
Mos2414
I was a late bloomer, I didn't start telling myself that until the sixth grade. But God how I wished it was true.
mostdefinatelynotgoingtorememberthis
I often try the "turn traffic lights green" gesture. Works after 1-10 tries, every time.
Yourebothwrong
Maybe Revan started the Knights of Ren 2000 years ago, and used to be called the Knights of Revan, and over the years the name was distorted
holen25
That's.. Actually reasonable
Yourebothwrong
2/2 to Ren. So Kylo could be a follower, and either the Knights of Ren passed down the crystal or he found it, and now they follow Kylo
khazorath
Revan couldn't be alive. KOTOR was set 4000 years before New Hope
KyleBeach
going with old EU material he could be. The sith emperor he encountered was immortal by draining the life force of a fully populated planet

Actually, he's dead at the end of the storyline.

This is a great (scott) comment. Carry on, Mharti.

You made my day with this. Great Scott!
Bigcurly2000
Uh...literally nothing here suggests Revan might be alive. It's cool they made a mention, and probs based Ren's look on him, but that's it.
QuantumCypher
Exactly. OP saw what he wanted to see.
Heisenbergerandfries
I like to think of it as acknowledging that Revan and KOTOR are cannon. Because why not?
Majere119
Why doesnt he go to toshi station and buy a new crystal?
newsguycraigevans
Sith make their crystals as part of their training. Guessing his next in training will be a better crystal/blade.
Gracebreaker
How do Sith make crystals? Sit around and hate stuff a lot? Then again that's how most of their powers work...
oreogolem
Urinary crystallization. Not many survive the process.

TheWanderingDrunk

thatpatguy
@OP, you should also know that Rakata Prime and HK-47 are canon again.
Serratedblaze
Does the existence of an in cannon character who was first seen in no longer cannon media automatically make the source cannon though?
thatpatguy
Sadly no.
tubaaron
Mocking query: when was the great droid HK-47 not canon? :)
harles2000
you deserve more points.
IllCaesar
I would instantly buy a ticket to the next film if I knew HK-47 was in it.
HighpriestIalu
Not a chance meatbag
RagingOyster
Gonna need a source
thatpatguy
He's in the Galaxy of Heroes game which isn't canon itself but the characters in it are.
ProphetandKing
HK-47 is a character on the Galactic Heroes mobile game that came out recently
DarthReznor
What?? Someone needs to make a post about all the stuff from the EU that they're making canon again
DougDimmadomeOwnerOfTheDimsdaleDimmadome
I also am curious. Not saying you're lying or anything BUT I MUST KNOW
thatpatguy
He's in the Galaxy of Heroes game which isn't canon itself but the characters in it are.
OnceMoreIntoTheBreach
HK-47 has appeared in a few Disney sponsored and created flash games over the past few weeks. I haven't seen any Revan yet, but. . .
NowDoThatVoodooThatYouDo
Is the Infinite Empire canon? I could see KOTOR 1 (and maybe 2) being canon again because Revan/Malak had been Darth Bane's influence.
thatpatguy
There have been rumblings of a KotOR remake that would re-canonize the first game.
xrufus7x
Yah but wouldn't EA end up making it?
Curiousone545
Yaasssss, as someone who missed the first two KoTOR's and only picked them up too late.. I would LOVE that.
BatSharkRepellent
Is Bane still canon tho?
NowDoThatVoodooThatYouDo
He was created by Lucas to be the Rule of Two creator and is mentioned in the Phantom Menace book. The Revan/Malak part was added by Bioware
Sairvous
I really got annoyed when people bitched about a somewhat different light saber. The expanded universe has like a billion weird lightsabers.
TheBear0274
Like the light club
Ibliss
I'm not a star wars person. But I find it impractical, if a Saber slides down it would just cut the cross gourd metal bits off.
KyleBeach
not really. Most blades were made out of one of the several lightsaber resistant materials like phrik alloy or cortosis weave. They wouldnt
KyleBeach
stop a lightsaber outright but it would be the difference between a hot knife through butter and a knife through frozen butter, doable but
KyleBeach
alot more resistance.
raminagrobis
why are the light sabers in the new movie less powerful than before ? I was so upset they changed that, it made it look like a toy sword
raminagrobis
5 I'm asking you pretty randomly but you seem knowledgeable.. here everybody I know was heavily disappointed by this movie
raminagrobis
4 kylo ren takes inches of a saber that can melt metal in his shoulder and he barely grins .. please tell me that's disgusting to a true fan
raminagrobis
3 in the new movie you can take a hit from a light saber and feel fine ?? Finn had his back slashed in two but he's apparently alive
raminagrobis
2 like, light sabers are supposed to cut through anything. darth maul was split in two in one swing. luke's hand was cut off clean. etc
Caaallum
I fucking hope so!! ps; Bring out KOTOR 3
vipe650r
This man/woman is talking about the important issues.
RoyFuckingMustang
And pls keep SWTOR non-cannon. It was a fun story but they FUCKED Revan.
Wastyvez
Besides Revan is already featured in The Old Republic MMO, so it's unlikely he'd be in KOTOR 3 even if that game does ever get made.
DickMangoes
TOR does not exist for me.
ThisIsSittingOnASeal
SWTOR is KOTOR3. The storylines in there are good. Not as good as KOTOR I+II but still good. Besides, the MMO part can be almost avoided.
Wastyvez
My main issue with SWTOR is the tedious sidemissions. Most of them are boring grinds. I just want to go on with the class quests.
ThisIsSittingOnASeal
They changed all of that in newest expansion. You can just do main quest+planet mission to keep up in level. No need for hard grinding etc.
Synapses14
He is? What?
Wastyvez
The fourth expansion pack is called Shadow of Revan, it released around this time last year.
comehererightmeow
I would be super happy with an Xbox one HD version of KOTOR 1/2. It makes me sad I need to keep my 360 to play it.
comehererightmeow
I never got into swtor, not when I have to pay 20$ to be a twi'lek. It's just a big money grab. I miss Kotor :(
Zoroasterisk
It's on Steam. PCMasterRace represent!
comehererightmeow
My pc sucks too bad to play it on PC plus I much prefer console games vs pc games.
Zoroasterisk
Kotor 2 ran on the OG Xbox. Your computer should do fine unless it's a DDR2 system.
comehererightmeow
It just over heats really really easily. I have the box set of Kotor1/2 but it's 19gbs which makes my computer act like a snail.
Wastyvez
Disney shut down Lucasarts, so chances of a KOTOR 3 are very small, unless they outsource it. But I doubt it, it's not profitable enough.
Synapses14
How is it not profitable enough. I don't know many gamers who have not played KOTOR.... And loved it 100%.
Wastyvez
Disney is looking at the big picture. Developing games costs too much and gains too little in comparison to other media.
Wastyvez
Hell they had a great looking game practically finished and Disney fucking shelved it.
krispykremeguy
I know a few. The D&D-ish system doesn't work well for everyone. I enjoyed the hell out of it, but I can see how (1/2)
krispykremeguy
they'd want to move towards something that doesn't almost require a guide for character creation. (2/2)
RovertLNoteek
Lucas Arts had little to do with KotOR, I think. That was mostly BioWare's rodeo.
Wastyvez
Bioware did KOTOR, Obsidian (the guys from Fallout NV) did KOTOR 2. But LucasArts was still the publisher, meaning they funded the projects.
Wastyvez
And while BW and OE did the actual developing, LucasArts still had a huge say in the creative process of the development.
RovertLNoteek
Still, the main reason there isn't a KotOR 3 is because of TOR. (Which I personally love but I know some feel the opposite.)
Wastyvez
Yeah I don't deny that, I'm just saying that it's even more unlikely we'll ever see KOTOR 3 now that Disney bought Star Wars.
Wastyvez
Nowadays LucasArts is little more than a glorified licenser running at minimum capacity and funding.
brobinson2001
That'd put Revan at somewhere around 2500 years old. As much as I'd like an Old Republic movie, please no.
Teonis
try nearly 4000. KotOR and KotOR II take place around 3950 BBY
brobinson2001
Eh. I was literally taking a break from playing KOTOR on my phone to eat, didn't want to take the time to look it up/spend hours on wiki.
AustinAlex
The force works in mysterious, plot driven ways, he'd look about 30
RandAIFlagg
30 Space Years.
MorgothsORing
So is Revan stronger than Vader?
harpoonyourboyfriend
What I understand, yes, but Vader had more potential. Losing his limbs and getting burned alive greatly reduced his connection to the force.
MrPorker
I had to laugh so much because that last sentence of yours sounded so damn pert. +1
Wibblywobblytime
What's pert?
MrPorker
My dictionary said it means something like flippy, snappish, flippant, saucie or cocky (girs). I'm no nativspeaker and I chose pert. :P
VengefulReus
He was super powerful Jedi and Sith have done some pretty crazy things
eggmuffin
Yes, but writers have to be careful about giving their characters too much power. I think they have already exaggerated things as it is.
RandAIFlagg
Tell that to the Wachowskis
giftstrix
Or stuck in cryo for a while, or a force ghost.
YouHaveBeenWaylaidByEnemiesAndMustDefendYourself
Maybe J.J. has him frozen in carbonite!
dembonz00
More like 4,035 years old.
DickMangoes
Actually the original motor was 4000 years before the movies
DeputyChiefJudgeFish
last time Revan was seen canonically he was a force ghost. Have hope!
TL12
Clearly he's... a REVANant.
[deleted]

Fjuben
Perhaps as a force ghost?
4533josh
Revan was almost canonised in the Clone Wars series (Ep: Ghosts of Mortis) to appear as a force ghost alongside Darth Bane, but it was (1/2)
[deleted]
[deleted]
4533josh
Yeah, agreed. But they were pretty much ready to do the final animation/art stuff when they were told not to. So here's hoping we get grey R
4533josh
(2/2) cut for "reasons". My hope is that he didn't appear as a force ghost because he isn't dead. His lifespan was lengthnd alot in TOR too.
Serratedblaze
I really hope everything TOR related to Revan stays out, from the cutscenes I saw he was made so much less admirable.
4533josh
Yeah, he was still awesome but not... Revan.
[deleted]
[deleted]
4533josh
This is just me throwing an idea at a wall though, nothing major :)
bendeem
but then he died and became one with the force
4533josh
(Should probably pop here that TOR isn't canon) Yes, but he could also have been held in stasis for longer than TOR, in the canon timeline.
Daviosy
Maybe he's Snoke.
ToddTheQuad
Snoke could be Revan, Plagueis, or even Sidious
soylentbeef
Maybe it's Mabeline
CaboosetheteamkillingFucktard
Plagueis.
iPez
I know, it if it is plagueis the destruction of EU will be worth it.
dartron5000
JAR JAR!
EverythingISeeIsAJojosReference
Plagueis and Sidious may have found the keys to immortality. So odds are both are still alive.
cj082388
I love reading through all of this stuff. You guys should post more...Or just message me with things! Haha. Thanks for the read!
Desomega
I think in the EU Sidious had himself cloned or some such. I doubt Snoke is Plagueis, though.
EverythingISeeIsAJojosReference
I think his body died but his soul lived on and he took over someone's body.
nebworb
Can't be, he turned back to the Light Side of the Force.
coolkid87
Revan flip flops like a mother fucker between both. I like what swtor did with him where he used both sides of the force.
somenub755
In the 2500 years of his life, why would he not be able to turn to the Darkness again?
CommanderUnderpants
Because that would be way too forced, especially on top of making him 2500 years old
somenub755
"Too forced"... I'm not sure if you wanted to make a pun or just allude to how forced the new movie is...
davidlindhagen
Kinda hoping Rey goes all Bastila on us with a two-sided yellow lightsaber
SithRuleOfTwo
It would make sense.
EchoOfSnac
I think she will just use the blue Skywalker lightsaber. I think this because of reasons.
poeticallybored
I was actually hoping them to show Leia, now a general, to have developed Bastila's battle meditation ability.
matteyothecrazy
Still could
RobertKazamakis
In KOTOR, you have to take a test to determine the color of your lightsaber. I'm pretty sure Rey matches the yellow profile.
muggsy93
I'm kinda hoping for a lightsaber pike for something different
spooglecraft
I suppose she's gonna get a blue saber at the end of her staff.

Does bastila marry revan?

Yes. But things get sad afterword so leave it at that.

if your Revan is a male, she can, yeah
theberch
O.o ... go on
GoodEyeSniper1
that's the long and short of it. I always play a female Revan so I romance Carth instead
xrufus7x
In the now non cannon EU Revan was a guy and married Bastila and had a kid. The jedi with a double sided lightsaber in the TOR 1/2
xrufus7x
2/2 trailers is one of their descendents.
GoodEyeSniper1
of course it is
djmoonbass
Purple. Luke: "the color isnt my style but your mother liked it"... Highly doubt it but im still sold on her being his daughter.
C0mtraya
Hopefully we're going to see M.J. Btw. I also would love to see Kyle Katarn being a part of Rogue One but i doubt its going to happen.
C0mtraya
Just imagine to see a modern interpretation of the Moldy Crow - holy crap that would be awesome.
CharmingAndSexyGentlemanStarshipCaptain
Not really, but Galen Marek seems to be approved to be in Rogue One.
C0mtraya
Meh, I didn't like the Starkiller at all. Atleast we have Kanan Jarrus in Rebels - for some reason he reminds me of Kyle.
CharmingAndSexyGentlemanStarshipCaptain
I think they rewrote Galen as no longer a jedi anymore. I agree, The Force Unleashed suck storywise. Starkiller is too op
MyDadLooksLikeTomCruise
They've made allusions to Luke's academy, so JA could be considered canon, and DF through Outcasts by extension.
ravien999
I would love to have Katarn back.
DraigArglwydd
She's his daughter, why else would the sabre call to her It was originally anakin's then Luke's, it's familial, as is po being a great pilot
TwitchyBear
So you're saying that po is also a Skywalker?
Valharroth
Going by that logic, Poe is Luke's son. Since the Skywalkers were the best pilots. And Poe is pretty damn good. Strong in the force.
Aaeryk
In the comics Shattered Empire you meet Poe's parents. His dad is a Rebellion Commando and his mom is an A-wing pilot with green squadron
HeyLookAGinger
Who were given one of the force sensative trees that luke liberated directly after palpatine got dead.
ravien999
Am I the only one who wtf'd at them doing a "bombing run" with only xwings and no A or Y wings in the movie?
Dokramuh
It's going to happen. I believe that staff she uses is mega-foreshadowing.

I mean, it's kinda BS that only bad guys get cool weapons.
CharmingAndSexyGentlemanStarshipCaptain
Yeah. It sucks to see no Jedi use curved hilt saber.
shitsandgigglesfor100
Mabye a staff or lance type
Dokramuh
that would be highly impractical, as it could be easily cut at the shaft... we'll have to see.
CharmingAndSexyGentlemanStarshipCaptain
Yeah, that's what happened to Maul as well. For a sith he's not smart enough to coat his handle with cortosis alloy.
Dokramuh
Is cortosis alloy a thing in new-canon? Does it appear in Clone wars/rebels?
shitsandgigglesfor100
Isn't there a material that could resist light sabers... If so it could be the most useful
Dokramuh
I believe it's all non-canon now.
Troteus
There were several materials that were resistant to lightsabers, including mandalorian iron (Beskar). Whether or not its canon anymore idk

I called it already, they're going in that direction with all the new lightsaber users - if you noticed the Knights of Ren in the flashback
CharmingAndSexyGentlemanStarshipCaptain
Looks like the knights are more liberal though. They don't only use lightsabers
RagingOyster
But none of them but Kylo had a saber at all...
wlfman
not a lit saber, at least - if you look one guy in the back has a giant-axe thing - imagine if the edge was a lightsaber
wlfman
it's more wishful thinking than anything else...*shrug*...maybe it doesn't happen
Vectorman2
Well she is the ultimate star wars character who can master anything with no training, so why not TWO two-sided yellow lightsabers?
AGorillaStoleMyUsername
http://i.stack.imgur.com/f9hQm.png
bienmenso
She seems to be missing part of her memory and she's obviously been trained in the ways of the force
Vectorman2
It's a great fan theory, I find it troubling though that Luke would teach a 5 year old mind control, force grab, and use of deadly weapons
bienmenso
That's true haha. But maybe he just taught her very basic stuff about the force, and she just knows about force grab etc and tried them...
bienmenso
Still, it is a bit of a stretch ill admit
CharmingAndSexyGentlemanStarshipCaptain
She's already unconsciously read Kylo's mind when he tried to read her's. So it's easy for her to learn about using the force from reading -
Vectorman2
YOU get a new force power, and YOU get a new force power! Everyone gets a new force powerrrrrrrrr!!
CharmingAndSexyGentlemanStarshipCaptain
- his mind, even for briefly.\
Seattlite
She channeled the force. Luke and Leia did the same thing when they faced Vader in an old, now ret conned comic.
Vectorman2
The force taught her how to fly the falcon, repair it better than Han, AND use advanced jedi techniques with little/no training? Cool!
JustCallMeBean
droid with his eyes closed within 3 minutes of training. It is not unreasonable to assume that Rey picked the knowledge of how to use mind
Vectorman2
He also failed pretty hard at first and had a teacher right there. Also does this mean if I get beat up by Tyson I gain his fighting skills?
omnipotentmonkey
1. she's implied to know how to fly ships, hence why she expresses preference for 'that quadjumper' 2. the only thing she repaired was 1/2
JustCallMeBean
Anakin could sense the future, giving the illusion that he had faster reflexes. As a child. Luke was able to block shots from a training
JustCallMeBean
tricks from Kylo's failed interrogation, where she wound up probing HIS mind. The other stuff everyone else responded to and explained.
CharmingAndSexyGentlemanStarshipCaptain
Luke use the force to fire the shot, Anakin use the force to win the pod races.....
omnipotentmonkey
3/3 force use is mostly instinctual, hence why Anakin was using it before Qui-gon discovered him, and Luke made use of it before training
CoffeeyCore
Tbh, it looked like she just brute forced the fight with Ren. Large swings with open front and sides. I'm not a fight technique expert tho
Vectorman2
People are going to a lot of work to justify her winning that fight, in all that usually means it was lazy writing.
Deninjawei
I think she knew how to fix Han's ship because she's been around broken down ships all her life. Eventually she learned what a lot of (1/2)
Vectorman2
You know who else has? THE SHIPS OWNER, HAN! And somehow she knew more about it than he did because she salvages random parts?
Deninjawei
Parts did, giving her some knowledge on how to repair ships especially one so old (2/2)
omnipotentmonkey
the compressor, which Han didn't only because he wasn't used to it being on his ship whereas she knew about it's installation. 3/ force 2/3
demonjester1515
I had an issue with the fight scene too, but as far as repairing the Falcon, her whole job was salvage and repair. Pretty reasonable.
Geelsmark
The technical part can be explained by her having years of experience taking ships apart and it sounded like she spend a lot of time in MF
HedgehogsAlwaysLookSharp
except didn't disney pretty much say that all lore from games before them getting their hands on star wars, was not canon any more?
ExtremistSatire
they said it isn't canon, however I think they are reviewing a lot of the EU for good stuff to keep. So it was more a shoot first ask later
Ekajra
It'll likely end up being a softer reboot than that. Chances are they'll reintegrate older stuff from the E.U. that is particularly good or
Ekajra
useful, and just make sure everything lines up stylistically with the movies. Also helps avoid potential timeline snags from so many writers
hx50
So... Thrawn... right? please? pretty please?
moosehugger
The book Star Wars aftermath pretty much redid the post emperor power struggle, so I feel like it's not likely, but we'll I suppose

I was going to pick up Aftermath, but saw it got bad reviews and got Lost Stars instead... Really enjoyed it.
IAmJustTryingToFitIn

That's what I do, but the decanonisation still pisses me off greatly.
hx50
I just operate with two separate cannons in my head... I can't just ignore so much of my childhood.
ChibiYui
Agreed, with the latter part, at least. Production value doesn't make "mouse canon" right in any way.
IAmJustTryingToFitIn
I'm just calling an alternate timeline, like maybe call the disney one Alpha and EU one Beta timelines.
ChibiYui
Argh T.T At least put them in the other order.
