Darth Revan - Tumblr Posts

I love Revan and for me he is the winner. If had to choose only one star wars' character, I would have chosen Revan. Becouse Revan is character which has best storytelling traits similar to other sw characters.

For example:

Revan is tactical genius like Thrawn.

Revan helped his loved one to turn away from the dark side like Luke helped Mara Jade.

Exar Kun started empire and his aprentice betraied him which lead to his downfall of his rule, so does Revan was betraied by Malak.

After Revan other star wars characters was based on him.

For Example:

Design of Kylo Ren was based on Revan.

More star wars characters started using two lightsabers: Ahsoka Tano, Starkiller, Ventress.

Whole swtor game in may opinion especially imperial agent with indentity problems was inspired by Revan.

Revan is so uniwersal and influensial character.

@walkerings-blog I really like your style, nice work

Mandalorians hate Jedi because...

"the Jedi are child stealers" NO

And again I say NO. I saw someone claim this and it absolutely infuriated me.

First point, THE JEDI ARE NOT CHILD STEALERS. That accusation is sithspit anti jedi propaganda. If a parent or guardian told the Jedi no, they didn't want their kid to be a Jedi, the Jedi respected that. They would, however, remove children from danger. But would you call a social worker who took children from environments where they were being molested, starved, beaten, or worse, a child stealer? No? Then don't call the Jedi child stealers for the same actions.

Second point, the average Mandalorian didn't really know or care too much about Jedi. In all honestly, most Mandalorians, like the rest of the galaxy, had no real idea about the difference between Jedi or other force sects like the nightsisters or general darksiders or even the sith except perhaps the color of their lightsabers. Some Mandalorians, like our beloved Din Djarin, knew nothing at all about Jedi and only cared when in became relevant and then did as much research as possible regarding the Jedi. Others, like Jango Fett, had very personal interactions with Jedi and formed their opinions of the Jedi as a whole based on those interactions with no further reason or desire to look further into the Jedi.

Third point, for Mandalorians who studied history or listened to old stories, they knew why the Mandalorians disliked the Jedi and it was for a very simple reason that they liked to avoid actively admitting. That reason? The Jedi kicked the shebs of the Mandalorian armies.

Twice.

Quite possibly there was another point when the Jedi suppressed the Mandalorian empire but there were two times for certain. Granted, the republic played a large part and the Jedi definitely didn't all interfere in one of those two conflicts, and actually actively avoided one of those two conflicts except in a few cases, and there were definitely some terrible things done, but the fact remains that when the Mandalorian empire attempted to expand and basically take over the galaxy, the Jedi were key to stopping this. And no, the Mandalorian empire was not a good thing. But more importantly, if you thought your ancestors or your cultures' armies were in the right and they were beaten, would you like the descendants of those who beat your side?

Fourth point, would you like the side that beat your side if they refused to give you a proper rematch? The Mandalorians who know anything about Jedi know that Jedi have access to all this power, plus generally have a super cool plasma sword, but the Jedi won't fight or they'll de-escalate or generally indulge in pacifistic behavior and we all know how Mandalorians feel about presumed pacifists, right? A Mandalorian denied a fight is often a frustrated Mandalorian. A Mandalorian who sees someone who has all this strength and power often doesn't understand why that person doesn't use that power, doesn't take revenge or slaughter their enemies or a million other things that they would do with such power. So those that don't understand choose to dislike. Why won't the Jedi fight them?! (please imagine the sentence immediately previous spoken in an extremely whiney tone of voice)

Fifth point, the Mandalorians frequently throughout history worked with the Sith or were on the Sith side of conflicts because of a lack of knowledge about force sects meant the Mandalorians didn't generally realize how absolutely stupid it is to side with the Sith but beyond that the Mandalorians often learned about the Jedi from the Sith. So the Mandalorians got stories from the Sith about the Jedi being weak and cold and blah, blah, blah stupid sith propaganda that I don't want to perpetuate. And those Mandalorians would then think themselves Jedi experts, because hadn't they learned about the Jedi from another Jedi? Granted, a dark Jedi but still a Jedi, right? So they'd tell other Mandalorians the propaganda and so the Mandalorians had that Sith skewed idea of the Jedi perpetuated throughout their history.

So the Mandalorians have their own reasons for not like the Jedi, which have NOTHING to do with child stealing, just as the Jedi have plenty of reasons to want to avoid the Mandalorians. Personally though I'm going to blame a lot of those reasons on both sides on the Sith and be grumpy about the Sith and the effectiveness of their propaganda.

And finally, I'm pretty sure at least a tiny bit of the animosity between Mandalorians and Jedi arose from the Mandalorians being jealous that the Jedi had lightsabers and they didn't. To be fair, I'm a little jealous too. Lightsabers are cool.

So, now where the official confirmation of the Kotor Remake has passed, the time for wishes and speculation has begun.

So I am going to present my wish for the Kotor remake:

A kick-ass cinematic trailer.

The old republic in Star Wars has always been famous for one thing. Incredibely awesome cinematic trailer.

It doesn‘t matter if, the game actually looks that good, it doesn‘t matter if the story is actually that good. On good cinematic trailer can make a game memorable for all eternity.

So many Star Wars fans, who have never played the old republic games claim that the oldmrepublic era is awesome. Mostly because they‘ve only seen the cinematic trailers.

And now, where the big argument of how Revan will be handled in the Kotor Remake has begun, all I wish for is one bad ass trailer.

The tradition of awesome old republic trailer needs to be continued.

God, it has been to long since I have drawn something traditionally. I am so out of practice. Enjoy this crappy little drawing 🙈.

Third picture in a series of my favorite video game ladies - Darth Revan.

Darth Revan is an unusual selection for this list I guess because Revan isn't canonically female - whatever that means though. Because lbr Star Wars canon also includes shit like midicholorians and the Yuuzhan Vong.

But really Darth Revan is what this list is all about: Meaningful representation.

KOTOR SPOILERS IN THIS BIT HERE LOOK AWAY IF YOU DON'T WANT THEM~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The first time I played KOTOR I didn't actually realize the big spoiler until it got there.  Silly of me I  guess but playing as a female character made all the difference - I didn't expect to see this powerful,  rebellious Jedi war hero-turned-Sith Lord be anything but a man under the mask. Revan is a leader, a  firebrand, and quite possibly a monster. I never considered that my player character could be Revan, because Revan was a number of things that are typically coded as male, and I was playing a woman.

That's what this list is about, honestly. It's about the fact that as a woman, I want to play video games that give me the same thing men get from games. I want heroes and villains and everything in between, I want  strong and weak and dangerous and wrong and right and beautiful and noble and flawed characters and I want them to be someone I can see myself in. As a gamer, you aren't simply watching a story take place, you are  enforcing and creating the story with every action you take. Given this, how can representation ever be construed as something inessential or petty? Empathy and agency are at the core of gaming as a medium, and forgetting this or failing to apply it to half of gamers is just dumb as hell.

Using a bunch of in-between shades ain't cheating because... Korriban, that's why.
