Clues about Revan's choice

[Maverick5770]

my opinion has always been that Revan was male, i'd like exile to be male but it could be canon female. I also think that they both go light side, travel to Outer Rim, kill all the true Sith. But it's just my opinion. But if Exile is female, who trains Handmaiden?

"Revan's story, as dictated here, is the plot of the computer game Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic.

 

Although the player of the game may have Revan end up as redeemed Jedi or a renewed Sith Lord, the canonical ending has him returning to the light side. This follows the usual practice of LucasArts, where the canonical storyline of all videogames ends in victory for the light. Additionally, although Revan can be either a man or a woman in the game, it is officially stated that, in canon, he is a man.

 

While Revan's lightsaber color is selectable by the player (and corresponds to the character class the player chooses - green for Jedi Consular, yellow for Jedi Sentinel or blue for Jedi Guardian), the canonical color is blue, as shown in the comic Shadows and Light during Duron Qel-Droma's vision. This color likely corresponds to the powerful Mantle of the Force crystal Revan obtains during his quest for the Star Forge. This crystal produces a bright blue blade."

I think you guys are looking way to deeply into this if your saying that revan is a male outside the kotor game...... isn't Revan supposed to be the main character of the kotor game... this was an original story that is why people were able to choose for them selves. how could revan possibly be just accepted as a lightside male outside of kotor.... revan IS kotor and kotor IS revan

Just remember that wikipedia can be edited by anyone, so it is down to whoever edited that article.

oh, i didnt know that. but i think the canonical for Revan is male and LS, along with the Exile. makes a much better story as well.

Alternate endings and customizable characters are noted in the Continuity Notes field. If needed, a definitive ending is chosen (ie the light side ending in Jedi Knight) and recorded into the database. Another example is the decision to make Revan a male character. Again, these types of things are only determined when needed

 

Leland Chee is the Lucasfilm Keeper of the Holocron or in english the guy in charge of the gigantic official inhouse Star Wars database. I also read a post where he said he was lobbying for the Exile to be female and to be given a proper name, but as of yet it isn't determined.

 

Note that it says 'when needed', like in a spin-off comic book such as the already mentioned Shadows and Light where the medium used is not as interactive as a video game. As for KotOR 3 I think (or rather hope) neather Revan nor the Exile will be pre-determined, as a game is more suittable to that approach.
