The last of the Jedi have gone into hiding due to a mysterious new threat that shows no qualms about killing entire planets to get at them, while the Republic is stretched far too thin and struggling to maintain even a semblance of order in a galaxy far, far away. The Sith Lords takes place only a few years after the events of the first Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, which have become known as the Jedi Civil War. However, this initial base version of the RPG released on Nintendo Switch is more like a whisper fading into the emptiness of space rather than the reverberating roar it could so easily have been. Like the echoes often discussed in its plot, Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords leaves an impression. But instead, somebody made the deliberate choice to reference the “Jedi Crusaders,” aka the “ Revanchists.” These were the two names given to the group of Jedi who defied the council to follow Revan during the Mandalorian Wars because they literally went on their own crusade against the Mandalorian Neo-Crusaders.Echoes are curious things: subtle, tiny whispers reverberating throughout the edges yet insistently powerful at the right frequency. They could’ve gone with Jedi Consular, Guardian, Seeker, or Sentinel - each of which represented a more refined subsection of Jedi teachings during the Old Republic. The key term here is “Jedi Crusader,” which mines some very deep Star Wars lore that exclusively references Revan. In The Visual Dictionary, these items are described as a “fragmented Sith lightsaber crystal” and a “recovered Jedi Crusader pendant.” When the camera wanders around Luke’s hut on Ahch-To, we see what we assume is a fragment of a red kyber crystal in a metal holder. The Last Jedi: The Visual Dictionary is the definitive guide, “revealing the characters, creatures, droids, locations, and technology from the new film,” and as such, it includes more than 100 images from the film. 'The Visual Dictionary' offers a lot of insight on random things from 'The Last Jedi'. But one line of description in Star Wars: The Last Jedi: The Visual Dictionary might’ve just changed all that for good. Since The Force Awakens kicked off a new standard for what is canon and what is mere “Legend” within Star Wars, Revan was sort of stripped of his former glory as one of the most powerful Force-users to ever exist. The character’s story is a colorful one befitting of the twist-heavy Star Wars legacy. The events in the widely praised Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic and Star Wars: The Old Republic video games both take place after this. But later, with his companion Alek, Revan fell to the Dark side and became a Sith Lord. He, along with many Jedi followers, won the war. He was a revered and powerful Jedi Knight who defied the neutral wishes of the Jedi Council and chose to help the Galactic Republic in the Mandalorian Wars. Revan, who has as many names as Daenerys Targaryen from Game of Thrones, was born more than 4,000 years before the events of the new Star Wars trilogy. Incredibly, The Last Jedi might have made this former “Legend” part of canonized Star Wars history. Thousands of years before Luke Skywalker went into exile on Ahch-To, a powerful rogue Jedi called Revan led a war against Mandalore and fell to the Dark side.
