Top 10 Interesting Facts About Darth Revan

we would be honored if you would join us hey everyone and welcome back to another top 10 video now one of the most enigmatic characters in star wars hero and villain alike is revan he was one of the most powerful and influential beings in galactic history and a true champion of both the light and dark sides of the force let's start off with number one the military genius a master tactician revan was the supreme commander of jedi and republic forces in the mandalorian wars and often surprised his enemies with his unorthodox and effective maneuvers and strategies the mandalorian warrior clans whose conquest and enslavement of the galaxy was halted by revan's entrance into the war lost many of their forces to revan but still held their greatest enemy in high regards because of what a fierce warrior he was and due to his incredible talent for warfare but as ruthless as the mandalorians could get which is pretty ruthless even they could not have prepared for how far revan could go the jedi leader in the final battle of the war activated an ancient device called the shadow generator on malcor 5 and sacrificed an immense number of not just mandalorians but revan's own troops as well annihilating his enemies for good with the superweapon however at the same time it also corrupted all the jedi under his command except for one of his generals mitra surik who managed to cut herself off from the force temporarily to avoid falling to the dark side number 2 hk47 shortly after the end of the mandalorian war the now self-proclaimed darth revan constructed a hunter-killer assassin droid named hk-47 the aggressive droid was originally used to carry out assassination missions for the dark lord much to revan's amusement the killer droid referred to organic beings as meat bags but like his master the droid would get its memory erased and coincidentally end up joining up with the mind-wiped revan who is now working for the jedi the droid hated all living things with perhaps the only exception being revan himself hk47 often eagerly suggested murder as a solution to most of the problems that reformed revan and his allies encountered during their travels in the jedi civil war the droid survived for thousands of years by transferring his personality into a ship's computer when later the ship crashed on the volcanic world of mustafar hk47 soon found a new droid body and began to amass an army of droids to kill every meat bag on the planet the droid in his army was in the end defeated however in the end hk47 did manage to escape and remains at large somewhere out there in the galaxy number three revan sun after revan's redemption and defeat of darth malak he married the jedi basta lashon and together the two of them had a son named venerashon unfortunately revan disappeared on a mission to the unknown regions when bastila was still pregnant with him so his son vener whose first name was an anagram of his father's never met his father though they looked alike with the same eyes fair skin and shoulder-length dark brown hair however surprisingly as the child of two of the most powerful jedi in history he wasn't force sensitive and therefore never joined the jedi order or for that matter the sith instead vener served as a politician in the republic and eventually rose to the position of supreme chancellor number four centuries of imprisonment after the mandalorian war and the preceding jedi civil war that ended with revan's redemption and returned to the light he and his former general mitra surik went into the unknown regions to confront and destroy the immortal sith emperor vitiate on his empire's capital world of dromund cass though he and his allies fought fiercely a last-minute betrayal led to revan's defeat mitra was killed and revan held prisoner in a stasis for 300 years where the sith emperor tortured him through the force as he tried to invade revan's mind and get him to reveal the strength and weaknesses of the republic and the jedi order however perhaps revan's greatest strength was his mind so he not only managed to resist the endless torment and telepathic attacks but was also able to fight back by using his will to subtly influence the emperor augmenting the immortals fear of death and causing him to postpone his planned invasion of the republic for three centuries number five darkseid rituals while being tortured through the centuries revan was able to glimpse many secrets of the force from his torturer vitiate without the powerful sith emperor being aware of what he was accumulating from his mind this included the ritual of nathema perhaps the most complex and elaborate sith ritual ever conceived whether revan had known of the ritual but forgotten about it later or after the jedi mind wiped him is unclear he could have learned of the ritual beforehand when he and malik had come under the sith emperor's influence before the jedi civil war what is known is that he recorded a transcript of the ritual into his sith holocron which thousands of years later was rediscovered by the forefather of the rule of two darth bane it was an ability vishid had used to drain the life force of eight thousand sith lords and almost all other life on the planet of nathema this was to augment his strength in the force and to make him immortal now i know there are a lot of vitiate fans in the comments so let me know if you think vitiate could take on sidious in an all out brawl or maybe if you want that animated anyways using what he had assimilated from the ritual revan was able to come with his own right the thought bomb a force nexus capable of absorbing the soul of any force-sensitive being caught within its radius and doing so by catching it in a swirling vortex of never-ending pain and torment for all eternity sounds great i know a ritual again darth bane learned of from revan's holocron centuries later and would use to annihilate thousands of jedi and eliminate every sith except himself during the war between the army of light and the brotherhood of darkness on the planet rusan number six aid from a dead friend though revan was still strong he could not have fought off the sith emperor's assault through the centuries without the aid of mitrasurik the jedi general's force ghost remaining at revancide throughout his time in stasis she allowed him to feed off her essence so her sustenance could strengthen his resolve whenever she'd torture became too much and weakened him her spirit continued to refresh and restore revan allowing the powerful force user to carry on in his perpetual war of wills with the sith emperor number seven two rebbens growing frustrated with revan's ability to resist him vitiate and six powerful sith lords who served as the emperor's advisors known as the dreadmasters decided to concentrate on splitting revan's dark and light sides apart into two different personalities the jedi had created the dual personalities when they wiped his mind back during the jedi civil war so vitiate reasoned that the two personalities were working separately one for the dark and one for the light side and this would weaken revan's resolve in general as with a united personality he had proven too strong to break the attempt was only partially successful because the sith emperor was never able to actually finalize the split before revan finally managed to escape from his 300-year ordeal number 8. revan the genocidal maniac when revan was finally freed by republic forces the sith emperor's attempts at splitting his mind apart had made the brilliant strategist arranged and vindictive so using an army of droids created by the foundry a massive manufacturing facility built into an asteroid by the rakata thousands of years prior revan intended to commit genocide on the sith as vengeance for the torment he'd had to endure for so long but before he could carry out his plans the great hero and villain was ultimately killed by an imperial strike team though as with most things involving revan from there things just got more complicated number 9 revan resurrected revan physically died but the dark side version of himself refused to become one with the force and so the personality split finally became complete though perhaps not how vishyd had envisioned it revan was split literally the dark side persona existed physically in his reanimated body while the light revan existed as a force ghost so body and soul were split the dark side revan continued with his plans against the sith emperor taking control of a secret cult that had sprung up within the empire that was devoted to him these were known as the revanites and intended to use them to eliminate vitiate and remake the republic while his lightside spirit believed that he should have died long ago and become one with the force number 10 final defeat the dark revan decided that he would use the sith emperor's own ritual of nathema to destroy him personally so he attempted to enact the ceremony on yavin 4 to battle vitiate but again his plans were disturbed by a group of adventures this time a coalition between republic and imperial forces who saw revan as a threat to both their sides of the galactic conflict revan retreated into yavin's jungles to an ancient temple known as the forgotten terrace but when yet another strike team came after him led by the galactic hero known as the outlander the dark revan once again held his own against their forces whenever he would defeat one of the warriors revan's lightside spirit would shield the outlander and resurrect the fallen the spirit also raised the strike team to higher levels as they fought across three levels of terrain against his physical evil half but ultimately with the strike team and revan's light side ghost the dark revan was defeated permanently and the two halves of revan were once again reunited and in peace becoming one with the force again the outlander and the strike team knew they had barely survived the encounter hope you guys enjoyed this video about revan top 10 facts about his story and i can also make a top 10 about his powers which is pretty
