Trench Posted June 23, 2009 Posted June 23, 2009 The origins of Revan's mask have finally been found! Click here and all will be revealed. What do you think about that?
Demongo Posted June 23, 2009 Posted June 23, 2009 I knew Revan had something to do with Mandalorians:D Very interesting, though he removed his mask, before the Mandos have been defeated. The colour of that mask isn't exactly black, so I guess Revan made some modifications to it:p
Shem Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 That's gotta be one of the stupidest back stories ever.
Darth Avlectus Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 Damn. I guess the sith empire copied it? Referencing of course the peek vid at TOR and all those marauders. Their masks looked a bit revan esque.
Emperor Devon Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 it's stupid seems to be a trend in that series of comics. there was also that revanchist crap that absolutely ridiculous last name for malak and now this ****
Trench Posted June 24, 2009 Author Posted June 24, 2009 I bet Shem could have thought of a better one:D. Heck I could have thought of a better one. But it would be cool if someone made a female Mandalorian armor based off hers.
Darth Hord Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 I agree, I wished the mask had a more mysterious, origin. I had hoped that he found it on Mlachor or something of that type of nature, because to me it ruins part of Revan's mystique.
Ultimate Vader Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 ^ Yep. What's the point of making Darth Revan if he's not mysterious at all. He's supposed to be mysterious, and that's why I and probably many people like it.
Trench Posted June 24, 2009 Author Posted June 24, 2009 I still wouldn't mind seeing a mod that allows female players in K1/K2 to wear her armor.
SW01 Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 Shem said: That's gotta be one of the stupidest back stories ever. Agree with this. The mask now being a symbol of compassion and sacrifice is a little - well, completely - opposite to Sith values, no? Bah, no point in even putting down other things that seem odd about it - Shem said it all...

But you have to remember that Revan was still a Jedi then. His fall was a bit later and it wasn't like "OK, so from tomorrow on I'll be the bad guy" But still... they could have thought of something better (or nothing at all and let it stay a mystery).
Trench Posted June 24, 2009 Author Posted June 24, 2009 So I guess there are no takers on the mod? Fine, I'll do it myself... That's the main reason I did this thread anyway.

His fall was a bit later and it wasn't like "OK, so from tomorrow on I'll be the bad guy" Certainly a fair point there - the thought I had on it was more about the continued use of it as the Sith Lord. If it had been, say, a version of the mask that was to do with the lightside robes you get that he had found it may have been more convincing - there would have been that element of the corruption of those values for which the Mando in question died, same as the corruption of the Jedi values leading to the Sith, in the darkening of the mask. But that's probably a bit too complicated...
Sir Vougalot Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 Meh. It's okay. I wouldn't call it stupid, but it's not exactly the cleverest idea, either. There was really no avoid making it of Mandalorian origin, or Mandalorian-inspired. The only problem I have with it is that I always hated the idea that Revan wore the mask in his Jedi days. As such, I've never been a fan of mods that create "light side variations" of Revan's Sith robes and mask. To me, the suit and the mask were directly connected to his identity as the Dark Lord of the Sith. In the flashback where he and Malak discover the star map on Dantooine, I had always interpreted Revan's appearance in that vision as a representation, because the player is not aware that he is Revan. I assumed that the Forced filled in what information was missing in his brain with what the amnesiac Revan knew to be "Darth Revan," whom he did not know what who he himself once was. When that event actually occurred, I had always assumed that Revan was not wearing his Sith armor or mask.
Darth Avlectus Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 Doesn't even have that "stupid because it was rushed" feel. Just...un imaginative. Real truth is supposed to be stranger than fiction. But I guess it's the other way around. If *this* is any indication of what is coming...I am going to witness ultimate fail, for the second time, to a series beloved to me. I pray this is not so.
Darth Hord Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 I think it would have been cool if he somehow acquired a manadalorian mask and used sith alchemy on it.
Sir Vougalot Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 Are you sure you guys weren't just expecting too much? That tends to be the case a lot of the time, and it always tends to lead to disappointment. Personally, I never thought the story behind Revan's mask would have been anything unique. In fact, if it were up to me, I probably wouldn't have even touched upon the subject, or I wouldn't have played it up to be such a momentous event. Also, I've always felt that Revan was a bit overrated. Malak, by contrast, is underrated. I always thought he was cool.
Insignia_Enithma Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 What if this wasn't the final mask he wore as a sith lord, what if after killing the mandalorians and winning the wore, he made his own version based off of her mask.
Mandalore The Shadow Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 a bit dissapointing but i always guessed it was mandalorian it just makes me like Revan more
Tobias Reiper Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 So that means that Revan is a crossdresser? But honestly, I could tell it was from some Mandalorian, just a matter of who and why he had it and not them. BTW, all those wear Revan's clothes mods are right now going into dissuse for me after that stupid backstory.
mattig89ch Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 this doesn't really detract from Revans story. He still fought the Mandolorians, he still beat them, and he still had his mask. *shrugs* idc about it one way or another.
Fredi Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 Shem said: That's gotta be one of the stupidest back stories ever. I'm 100% with you here. A pretty stupid back story.
Insignia_Enithma Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 How is the back story stupid? What did you expect?

Gob Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 So he's wearing a female's mask. Why is everyone so surprised? The guy wore a dress, too, but no one commented on that.
