Exploring Canon Characters from KOTOR in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

The legacy of Knights of the Old Republic (KOTOR) games has long been under debate in the Star Wars universe. Revan, the iconic leader of the `Theatorian Force Ghosts,` has not yet been officially confirmed as canon, although some artifacts hint at his presence. However, there are other intriguing characters from the KOTOR series that have made their way into the official Star Wars canon. Let’s delve into this exciting topic.

Canonization of KOTOR Characters: A Closer Look

One of the most important revelations in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker was the confirmation of several legendary figures and non-canon characters. According to the Star Wars Visual Dictionary, which is considered a canonical source, these characters are now officially part of the Star Wars universe. Let's explore these canon characters from KOTOR.

Revan: The Ambitious Leader

While the official status of Revan remains uncertain, his importance in the Star Wars lore cannot be ignored. The Rise of Skywalker visual dictionary mentions an artifact belonging to Revan, hinting at his canonical presence. The legions mentioned in the dictionary are named after Sith lords, and one of these legions is called after Revan, indicating his significance in the Sith hierarchy. There is also the faint possibility that the suspiciously looking figure fighting Mandalorians in Episodes IX might be Revan, further adding to the speculation about his canonization.

Other Sith Lords from KOTOR

Let’s take a look at some other notable Sith characters from KOTOR who have been canonized:

Andeddu: Mentioned in the popular online game The Old Republic, is a Sith who appeared in a few legends comics. Darth Tanis: Created the superweapon on Malachor which is featured in Rebels. Darth Tenebrous: Master of Darth Plagueis, Sidious’ master, and suspected designer of Darth Maul’s personal starship. Phobos: Introduced in the video game The Force Unleashed, where she fought the main character - Star Killer. Desolous: A Dark Lord of the Sith, a former Jedi Master expelled from the order who appeared in The Force Unleashed as another enemy in the Jedi Temple.
