Disney's recent installment of 'Lego Star Wars' series recognizes Darth Revan as a part of Star Wars canon, technically speaking
In an exciting turn of events, the much-loved but often overlooked character from the Star Wars universe, Darth Revan, is making a comeback. This time, he's joining the cast of the Lego Star Wars show, "Lego Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy - Pieces of the Past," now streaming on Disney+.
Originally introduced in the video game "Knights of the Old Republic" 22 years ago, Darth Revan is a fallen Jedi turned Sith Lord with a redemption arc. Known for wielding dual lightsabers and donning a Mandalorian mask, Revan is a formidable force to be reckoned with.
The new trailer for the Lego Star Wars show reveals Revan in the company of Sith Obi-Wan Kenobi, as well as heroes Sig Greebling, his brother Dev, and Ahsoka Tano. The trailer depicts a bricky battle filled with quips, lightsaber clashes, and force lightning, promising an action-packed adventure.
Revan's appearance in the Lego Star Wars show marks his entry into the mainstream Star Wars media. This is significant, as his inclusion has been limited in the official Disney canon until now, with only a brief reference in "Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker: The Visual Dictionary."
Interestingly, Darth Revan was originally intended for Star Wars: The Clone Wars Season 3, but George Lucas' decision to prevent his appearance was due to a perceived contradiction with the Force Ghost canon. However, the Lego Star Wars show presents Revan in a more cartoonish manner while maintaining his imposing presence even in Lego form.
The upcoming four-piece special event of Lego Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy - Pieces of the Past will allow Darth Revan fans to see their Sith in action on Disney+, starting September 19.
It's worth noting that the Lego Star Wars show's schedule includes releases from various universes, including Marvel, Star Wars, Star Trek, DC Universe, and Doctor Who, although the exact dates and content for each release are not specified.
The role of Darth Revan in the new Disney+ Lego Star Wars show is voiced by Ashley Eckstein. Revan's big Sith Energy hasn't been a significant part of the contemporary Star Wars zeitgeist until now, making this a thrilling opportunity for fans to reconnect with this fan-favorite character.
For those with knowledge of old Star Wars lore, Darth Revan is a character that has been much-loved, yet often overlooked in the mainstream Star Wars media. The Lego Star Wars show's inclusion of Revan is a testament to the enduring appeal of this character and the rich history of the Star Wars universe.
