Revan: Star Wars Legends (the Old Republic)

Bridging the gap between the Knights of the Old Republic duology and the recent MMORPG The Old Republic this book is basically designed to explain what happened to the protagonists of the KOTOR games, Revan and the Exile. Fans of KOTOR 2 might be a little disappointed by the fact that the Exile (here identified as female and named Meetra Surik)barely features, she's only really a supporting character many of the party members of the first game are only given a token mention and most of the characters of the second not even given that courtesy. However this book is really about Revan and what happened to him after the events of the first game and in that respect it serves it's purpose. If you are a fan of the original games then this is the closest thing you are likely to get to the part three that never happened. Down sides are that it's a little short, the end is a little rushed and that some fan favourite characters are pushed out of the story altogether. All in all a good read but not likely to convert non fans.

I love Star Wars to the point that I loved prequels, sequels and all. But I find the story and characters a bit flat. I did not like the way the author write, for me and it’s my personal opinion lacks depth.The story however does give more information about this incredible universe!

I havn't played KOTOR, and don't know alot about Revan. So I went into this book quite blind as to who he was. I actually thought he was a Sith Lord, DOH!This book rocks. It is so intense, so powerful, it isn't just action pack, the quiet moments are just the same, it fills you with a sense of wanting to know more.I know some people feel that this isn't the Revan in the game, but this is Drew's version of Revan. If you have 50 people playing KOTOR you will have 50 versions of Revan, you can't expect Drew's Revan be like one of those 50.Anyway this is an awseome book. One of the best Starwars books I have read in a while.

This is only a quick review but this novel is a little disappointing, while its fairly well written and does fill in a lot of the blanks between "Knights of the Old Republic", it's sequel and "The Old Republic" MMO, it does feel like it focuses too much on one of the supporting characters rather than the book's namesake, however this is admittedly understandable since a lot of Revan's story was explored in the fore-mentioned video games, what's disappointing is how certain revelations seem to take away from the depth of character that had been previously established for Revan. This is just my opinion of course, if you want to find out what happened between the games, give this a read.

The Xbox Game Story line continues!Knights of the old republic star REVAN the Jedi & Sith Lord returns in this awesome book. The story picks up from the end of the game, new characters are met and the old characters are reunited. Not to give to much away, Revan meets up with the character from the xbox game Knights of the old republic II : The sith lords.Later on in the book, the plot thickens with the double game stars and they kick some butt.The book is written well, plots and sub plots are easy to pick up and the star wars universe is easily explained and described.A must for any KOTOR fan or book collector. 10/10.
