Star Wars’ very own Keyser Söze

DARTH REVAN’S LEGACY isn’t his reputation (fearsome) or his natty armour (shiny), but rather the fact that he’s... you. The star of 2003 video game Knights Of The Old Republic

(set 4,000 years prior to any of the films), Revan starts out (as the player character) an unassuming Republic soldier, later identified as Forcesensitive and trained as a Jedi. It’s only when you face off against the scheming Darth Malak that your character’s true identity is revealed: former Sith Lord Darth Revan, the game’s elusive big bad, who has been discussed only in hushed tones until that point. As far as rug-pulls go, it’s a doozy. So much so that Revan lore has flourished since the game’s release, leading to a series of comics and novels (no longer canon) that flesh out Revan’s backstory. His legacy, however, remains that pivotal moment aboard Malak’s flagship, when the mother of all truth bombs goes off.
