Ronnan Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Just some thoughts about Revan's gear.... Did Revan wear that get up during the Mandalorian wars? Or was it after he 'fell' to the darkside? I'm just wondering, because I never see any pictures of him in that gear, with anything but a red lightsaber. I just figured that black doesn't exactly mean evil, so why wouldn't he be in that sweet gear during the war? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev7 Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Hmmm, good question. I really don't know how to answer this one. Show spoiler (hidden content - requires Javascript to show) I do know that in one of the visions that you and Bastila have about the Star Maps (the first one on Dantoonie) that Revan was wearing his robes. I have assumed that at that time he and Malak were still light-siders, per say, on the path down the dark side. Other than that, I really don't know how to answer you question fully. I don't know if there are any comics out that could answer you question. (I'm not a comic reader ) Good question though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Achilles Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 According to the item description, Revan picked them up after discovering the star forge: Created by the mystical technology of the Star Forge, these robes focus the dark side energies of the wearer, fueling their power. The Sith Lord Darth Revan was wearing similar robes when captured by the Jedi, who viewed the garments as an abomination and destroyed them. However the Jedi Council, not being familiar with the origins of the robes, were unaware that the Star Forge would be capable of producing an item of such terrible power a second time.Therefore it would seem to be something of a goof that Revan was wearing them in the Star Map cutscene with Malak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev7 Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 ^^^ Very interesting. That doesn't make sense that he would be wearing them....Star Wars is weird sometimes. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor Devon Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 The description technically only refers to the robes Revan had on when the Jedi captured him. He could've worn ones that looked the same earlier and had the Star Forge produce a (more powerful) copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Achilles Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Or the writers at Bioware made a mistake. I'll give you three tries to guess which option I think is the most likely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor Devon Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Well... there's that too. >_> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnan Posted July 10, 2008 Author Share Posted July 10, 2008 Well I'm just wondering, because there's obviously no images depicting him as a lightsider, even though it's cannon that he returns to the light. I would have imagined he wore the robes from the start of the Mandalorian wars, as no one recognizes him later. Not the Jedi on Dantooine or anyone else who met him while he was a jedi. For instance, he frees Juhanni on Taris before falling to the dark side. You'd think she'd remember the face of her liberator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavroche Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Well, according to the KotOR comics, Revan was wearing a robe with a hood hiding his face. As of 3,963 BBY, he still wasn't wearing his armor. See pics of Wookieepedia's article to get an idea. As for whether Bioware did an error or not, I think they did. Though the error is easily "workedaround" with what Emperor Devon said.
