Did you know? In an interview with Eurogamer, James Ohlen lead designer of KOTOR had answered the question plaguing fans minds since the games launch: What is the origin & meaning behind the name Revan?
Ohlen had stated:
Revan's name took all of about three seconds to conjure. "The funny thing is, people on message boards will try and guess at the incredible depth we went to name the characters," Ohlen says. Could Revan be an old English spelling of 'raven', and mean a dark-haired and thievish person? Could Revan come from the noun "Revanchism", which means "a policy of seeking to retaliate, especially to recover lost territory"?
"What they don't realize..." Ohlen adds with a chuckle. "Maybe I shouldn't be revealing this because it wrecks the mystery!
"I think I flipped through a book and there's a villain in one of my D&D campaigns - a lot of the names came from my old Star Wars campaign I ran as a teenager - called Revanac, and I was like, 'That's not very good, I'll just lop off the last part.' Revan, boom, done."






BioWare didn't spend much time on Revan at all. "Darth Revan was less of a character because he was going to be the player, so we didn't actually want to develop him too much," Ohlen says. "Darth Malak was the one we spent more time giving a character arc to and a background to and a personality to." And no prizes for guessing which wheezy movie Dark Lord he's modelled on with his large stature and robotic jaw, albeit with splashes of red instead of all black.
