http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Malak

http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Alek

http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Revanchist

http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Revan

 

So, I'm trying to do timeline and fanfic research for my fic some time ago, and I see the Revan and Malak pages torn up quite a bit with what I assumed was Fanon.

 

I waited awhile.

 

Now I check tonight, and it is all still there plus more.

 

May I ask what in the world is going on? What in the hell is this Revanchist bull, why is it so poorly written, and why has nothing been said about it?

 

All I want is to do timelines peacefully, and I run into words and factions that look to be made up by a five year old. So please, someone tell me... is any of this "canon" at all, or just some pricks editing all the articles? Because this has got to be some of the poorest written lore I've ever seen, even if it is from a comic book.

Very interesting... I know that the information stating that Revan is "The Revanchist" , and that Malak is "Alek" is new. Just last week I was browsing through numerous articles on Wookiepedia and this 'new' information was not there. But you know, Wookiepedia is a wiki...

 

I personally don't have this new, The new Essential guide to the Force (Jedi VS Sith) , book, so I wouldn't know what it says on the subject. Either way I find this informaiton very interesting...it also seems to add up to be true.

Wait, is Malak also that Alek Squinquanimisuhuwgesusueiwatever guy or what? If that was his name when he was a Jedi, why is there a separate page for each of them?

 

Revanchist isn't as bad as Squinblahblahblah but it still sounds pretty bad...and what the hell is it? Is it Revan, is it just a silly sounding title?

 

What's going on?!

there's little more than "they are them" in the The Essential guide to the Force book, it was pointless dropping the spoiler because they gave no other information.

I'm disappointed Alek is Malak, (the revanchist went without saying really) because there is a lot of discrepancies in his character; Height, tattoos, his apprenticeship to Revan, his name... I mean come on, "Alek, you shall be now known as Malak"!?

 

One thing to remember with Star Wars lately is, take everything at face value, When I first got the comics I was like "Alek... he must be a play on Malak's character ha ha... Oh wait he is Malak.... thats one Deep storyline?!

It's an ret-con of some sort. The games explicitly stated Revan and Malak were their real names. Now the 'nickname' of Revan is explained.

 

He's the only one who want to do something about the war (i.e. take revanche, revenge, you name it.) thus the Media calls his little group the 'Revanchists' or, 'those who want to take revenge.' And their leader is called 'Revanchist' or 'Revan' for short. Seems logical....I mean, Obi-Wan was called 'The Negotiator' in the clone wars. Why couldn't Revan obtain a medi-inflicted nickname or callsign?

 

And for Alek/Malak...another canon source claims he lost his Jaw (Malak=Latin for Jaw) in a practice (?) fight with his Master, Revan. So the Media might give him the nickname of Malak. Maybe a rising media pun because of his jaw problems?

 

Anyways, it all makes perfect sense to me now. :D

 

PS: But what about this: Alek WANTS Zayne Carrick (the lead char. of the Kotor-comic book series) on his side, the Revanchists. What does this mean for Zayne? He already has ties with Malak and the Revanchists (who later become the Sith) at this point in the series...I can't wait!

Yeah ! There are even crazy theories , that Zayne might be the Exile .

 

Though that may be correct , Zayne is already a sort of Exile , since all the other Jedi are hunting him :lol:

 

Still I like these new Kotor Comics , so far I haven't been dissapointed .

And there are little winks here and there to the games and such .

^^^

where did you get that from?

 

I love the Comics, I order them from the US the second they come on sale, I just dislike the way they have gone about the Alek/Malak situation (So far)

Alek is a really good character and so is Malak, I'll just wait to see how they merge the two...

#24 should be out today, cant wait.

 

@Quanon: I've also enjoyed the Game character and locale cameo's.

Yes, Revan WAS the one who cut Malak's jaw off. Oddly, I don't think that it was in Revan's nature to cut off someones jaw, BUT I always keep telling myself that he is a Sith Lord, and that that is what Sith Lords do 'injure' people, whether it is through death or through suffering... IMO...

On another (interesting) note....the Kotor games gave is several events that haven't taken place in the comics yet...

 

For example, I recall Ghadon Tekk saying something about these war against the Mandalorians in Kotor 1 dialogue: "If the Sith would be foolish enough to come down here, all gangs would rise up against them." :)

 

But there is more....there is at least 1 Kotor partymember that we haven't seen yet. Revan met her personally. On Taris. I'm talking about Juhani!

She claims Revan saved her life, and freed Taris of (some sort) of enemy. Revan was her inspiration. Also, where is Candarous?

 

I think 'almighty' Revan will make his appearance in a few comics. Because we KNOW Cassus Fett went on to kill an Admiral in space battle, and because we know Revan went to 'free' Taris with his faction. Also, why is there no preview of the last KOTOR-comic available? :D

 

It makes replaying Kotor or Kotor 2 worthwile. I really enjoy the game references!

I don't know, the back of a Hasbro figurine case doesn't seem as credible as my theory but that's just me.

 

It does, it does! The back of a Hasbro figure is canon! Anything made by Star Wars is canon! Even the Ewok Adventures! They are canon! Did you know that there are 4 Force Gods on Endor, all with all-mighty powers?[/scarsam]

Lowering the tone again scope :rolleyes::D

There's a lot of garbage...Real Garbage in the continuity, and there's nothing we can do about it. But what's a Force God got to do with Malak's Jaw injury? It's hardly an insane Idea to have Revan cut Malak's jaw off. It's so funny, People act Like "Well I wasn't consulted when this was made canon?!", Well your not gonna be! Dude's :)
