As you can see here, Darth Revan (to explain that would be to spoil things) was intended to make an appearance in an episode of the computer-animated cartoon series, called “Ghosts of Mortis”.
With his appearance slightly tweaked to match the “action figure” style of the Clone Wars cartoon, the show’s producers say that his scene was fully animated, before being cut — by George Lucas himself — and “never making it out of the lab”.
Everyone loves Knights of the Old Republic, and everyone loves Revan, but boy, seeing him in this forced death march of a toy commercial would have put a real bummer on my fond feelings for the guy.

I want to know what happened to Revan. They left it so open for a third one. Bastards that Lucas Arts are probably couldn’t think of a small fluffy annoying creature to put in it and ruin it.

A KoTOR-esque RPG with today’s tech would be squee-worthy. Can’t understand why they’d go with an MMO.

Wednesday, February 16, 2011 at 7:41 PMAnything that isn’t the classic trilogy or kotor is considered crap by the starwars fanbase. They will even give you a million and one painfully anal reasons why.
I don’t mind the cartoon at all to be honest.
