I remember watching this when I was in the seventh grade in 2007. This was one of my first RUclips videos I ever watched so this has a special place in my heart. Every year or so I come back and watch. Truly a masterpiece.
Eric Grant That's funny I was also in year 7 back in 2007 and this was also one of my first RUclips videos I watched as I was playing KOTOR 2 on the PC around the same time and I started using the Internet looking up KOTOR 1 and 2 videos, I've remembered this video ever since.
It's so cool to see so many people come back to this video after so many years! I too watched this as a kid back in 2006 as just a 10 year old, now I'm nearly 25. I really hope we do get a new KOTOR of some sort one day.👍
@@Raidercast you should be super proud! You crafted a masterpiece of a video that is forever etched in the minds of so many former kids, now young adults.
I've just re-watched this video for the first time in years - I wish I'd been able to make it in HD back then. I'm glad some people are still enjoying it! RIP Lucasarts. Very sad.
I've had this in my favorites for what feels like a lifetime now and I keep coming back to it every few years. So well put together and so much nostalgia.
@@Raidercast It's funny how when I first watched this I thought this was the only video on the channel but subscribed anyway. Then 5 years later I discovered that you had done plenty of other stuff. Though at the time I think this video was probably a little out of place on your channel because if I recall correctly, the rest of your channel was mostly Tomb Raider vids.
I came back to this classic a week after the remake had been announced due to the memories of watching this video multiple times as well as the portrayal of Revan and the necessary information from the original games that at this point most of us played over 20-30 times. I am cautiously optimistic about the remake and excited to see what stays the same, what changes had been made, new story twists and to see if it will stand up to the original. No matter what, I believe that the KOTOR games will always have an impact on the fans who have played this gem.
SWTOR would've been fine if it could've been... 1) On a console 2) Offline or Online instead of strictly online I actually enjoyed the variety of classes & each class having a separate story but I hated how you needed others to complete a lot of missions. I'd rather be on my own with a companion character & go through the journey rather than depend on other people.
I agree. But doing flashpoints with the double XP you get from missions helps alot (with not having to do painful side quests that are all the fucking same.) The current 12x to all class quests are amazing also.
I agree with having SWTOR be a single player RPG, but putting in on consoles is silly. KOTOR games are best on PC, in terms of controls, graphic quality, framerate, and mods.
Disney should just make individual starwars movies after this Legacy arc. Actually take time and tell the Origins of the Jedi and the Sith. Or at least the story of Revan and then Bane. But if they did, Bane would have to be rated R(which disney doesn't do), and if they messed up Revan AT ALL Disney would die.
But now they can redo them as well. They could give Revan his original story and make him the anti-Palpatine like he was supposed to be. He wasn't supposed to have been captured for 300 years. He was supposed to have stayed a Jedi Knight and infiltrate the Sith Empire and bring them down from the inside. It would've been an epic storyline, and now Disney can do it.
Yes it is made by the company, Bioware, which made the 1st game, but Obsidian made the 2nd one. The second one added a ton of questions, and the 3rd game was originally going to be made by Obsidian too, but it was cancelled because Lucas Arts was low on money or something. So the info we got was from Bioware, but it was not the original idea as the original conclusion was to be made by Obsidian. Obsidian were the ones who introduced the idea of Revan leaving known space after the 1st game and had their own idea of how the new story they created should have ended.
Reed019 Actually, the third one was set to be made by Bioware, which was cancelled by LucasArts. Obsidian says they still think about making a new one.
Wow I remember watching this video 10 years ago! This is really well made for its time and the last bit is my favourite part, a master piece, you should make more KOTOR videos.
That was really good! Congrats for putting it together! The main plot reveal of this game gave me shivers! It was a "What... No... You're kidding? WHAT?" moment! EPIC! 5 stars!
Excellency in full bliss. A true masterpiece of the Star Wars Expanded Universe like no other. May it open your eyes to Star Wars of the Old Republic in a way not imaginable. May it expand your mind in millions of ways. Awesome!
excelent i really love your video one of the best made video that in ever seen here in youtube a trve masterpiece my friend azraelkhan you should be very proud of your work
i love how you used 4 different Star Wars games to make 1 story. it was cool watching this since ive played through all of these games and the followers, Nicely done. Absolutely
Amazing, I loved your video man. Don't worry, the brighter ones understood that you used Jedi Academy for the younger Revan and Malak. Again, this is amazing. Good job.
Getting hyped for yet another play through of kotor 1 and 2. And also riding the hype of mabye kotor 3. All these years later I still watch all the time and love this video like the first time I found it
Great vid. I found it when it first came out and still to this day show it to my friends who play the KOToR games and are confused about whether Revan was good or bad all along.
It takes just one man to mount & reshape the galaxy 3 times over, history remembers such people & they rarely are ever forgotten, Vader's bloodline rules the galaxy, who knows when yet another Legends of the Past steps out of the Shadow once more to join the fray & make the battlefield his domain! One man, neither Jedi & Sith yet both at the same time, not the most strongest nor the fastest build yet, but strongest in the Force & the most charismatic of any other, one man, the humble & wise, both tenacious & ferocious yet far cunning then any before him.
I've read that book myself, it was masterly done, Drew Karpshyn truly did capture the idea and thoughts of Revan, I doubt anyone else could have done such a brilliant book.
Seven years on and I still keep coming back to this video. I really loved these games, and I wish they'd left Revan's story in the shadows instead of what they did in the Old Republic. Hopefully, even without LucasArts, someone can revisit a decent Star Wars RPG.
I watched this vid in 2007ish after completing both games (yes I was a latecomer to the games) I thought it absolutely perfectly summed up Revan. Now we know more about the character due to SWTOR and the book and we know what he did after he left the galaxy and why he turned dark etc, I still think this video still creates that sense of mystery and the cryptic nature of Revan. Really good job!
Very good video. I love Darth Revan and he is my favourite character out of the whole of Star Wars. I like the Kotor games more than the films as well as I think the characters are more interesting. Revan vs Vader.. Revan. Kreia vs Sidious... Kreia. Atton vs Han Solo... Atton. Bastilla vs Leia.. Bastilla. Anyway as said Revan is my favourite character and you have made a good video about his legacy and did well to put it all together and make it as Epic as Revan is himself. Good Job!!
Discovered your channel for the first time (or so I thought) about a month ago, as I have been revisiting the classic Tomb Raider series, as I never was good enough to complete them as kid, (done the first 3 now). And loved your raidercasts going into the mythology behind Lara's artefacts. But I happened to see this video and I now remember seeing this when I was a kid, as I was obsessed with Revan and wanted know as much about him as possible and where he disappeared to after Kotor 2 and I thought this video was amazing back then and it still is. Though sadly back in the day, not long after watching this video I tried to get hold of the mod to look like Revan in Kotor and Jedi Academy. Let's just say I was an idiot and accidentally downloaded "Best Anti Virus Software"... yeah... lol well done me and sorry to my dad for wasting a day fixing my PC. Hey ho live and learn. But thank you for the great work on your channel and hope to see more podcasts, especially the monsters manuals! And also thank you for leading me to find this gem of a video from my childhood!
Thanks for sharing this! This video is still one of my favourites I've made. I loooove these SW games so much, and haven't really felt the same excitement about SW games afterwards until the recent Fallen Order, which I loved so so much. With a KOTOR story coming to the big screen and whispers of a new KOTOR game, I hope it isn't the last we've heard of Revan. I remember reading the Revan novel years ago, but honestly can't remember what became of them, and never got to play KOTOR online to find out (mostly because I can't stand MMORPG gaming). Anyway, thanks for visiting (returning to!) my channel. :)
@@Raidercast Yeah it turned out really great! Yeah both series were truly outstanding and came out in a golden age of star wars games. Yeah I have not enjoyed star wars games since these really, but yes Jedi Fallen Order was brilliant and a great return to form. Yeah I hope Kotor is coming back, as I'd like to see it on the big screen, but I really want it to be in game form as well. Yeah Revan is technically canon in the new Star Wars timeline, due to some art book or something, so fingers crossed it will lead to a proper return. Yeah I never read the novel, probably should have as it basically resolves Kotor 2's storyline, but I read up the basics about it on wookiepedia and briefly played The Old Republic game when it became free to play, but yeah agreed I was not a fan of MMORPG's, so got bored pretty quickly, I just wanted a single player RPG. Basically Kotor 3... Haha no problem, I'll be looking out for the next podcast! And thanks again!

2024, still coming back to this video. Nostalgia, good memories and a golden age of Star Wars gaming.
I watch this every now and then.. Still an amazing and well put video
Cheers! I love that it's still being watched.
I've just re-watched this video for the first time in years - I wish I'd been able to make it in HD back then.
I'm glad some people are still enjoying it!
RIP Lucasarts. Very sad.
almost 10 years ago and this vid is still stuck in my memory
sanguinius01 same I miss revan even tho he's my father but still I was with out a father for 300 years
2019, still watching this epic portrayal of Revan's journey :D
Thank you, I'm so pleased it's still being enjoyed!
Almost eleven years since this video was posted and it's still a wonderful video that tells Revans tale.
I've had this in my favorites for what feels like a lifetime now and I keep coming back to it every few years. So well put together and so much nostalgia.
just checking back in, yup this video is still a classic
I hope this video never gets taken down. It's one of the best Star Wars videos on RUclips.
Same! I'm still mindblown people are still enjoying it!

I first watched this when I was in 8th grade when I first had access to RUclips on my first iPod touch.
Had a memory about this video today, January 2021. I remember watching this so many times when I was younger. 14 years ago, crazy. Time really flies.
2018 and still comeingback to watch this! :D
Alexandru von Carstein Zarovich Kantakouzenos Thank You :)
My pleasure thing nothing of it! :D
I keep coming back to watch this every few months. It is very well made mate.
Watching 10 years later in June 2016.
every now and then I watch this beautiful video. it's really good.
+Rens Kloosterman Reading your comment has brightened up my evening. Thank you. :)
Still watching guys!
17 years now, this still makes me so happy to watch.
Woah classic youtube video, how long I remember it!
I remember watching this when I was just 11 years old over 10 years ago! And I still watch this! This video was so well edited for its time!
Thanks! That's so awesome to read. :)
azraelkhan You should do more KOTOR videos. Plz!👍😬
this was actually a pretty good video, very well edited I thought
I saw this video for the first time years ago, still absolutely awesome.
2023 and back again! :D
It blows my mind to have returning viewers!
@@Raidercast :D We are all crazed lunatics
It's 2019 and people, me included, still praise this storyline. May the Force be with you all
Nearly 14 years.
I'm a bit jawdropped people are still watching this! I remember how fun it was to put together.
This was an amazing video and does a great job telling the tale of Revan. Thank you for your video and thank you for your work in this video
WE’RE GETTING A REMAKE!!!!!
That was VERY well done! I loved the parts with Jedi Academy!
your video is remarkable, one of the best that i've ever seen on this subject :)
+Prodigal Revanchilist That's really high praise, thank you!
Greatly done, this takes scenes from exellent games and makes it all work into one. Greatly done!

You shouldn't have played it then. It's an MMO.

But if they did, Bane would have to be rated R(which disney doesn't do), and if they messed up Revan AT ALL Disney would die.
disney won't do it because they took the expanded universe and Shit all over it.
But now they can redo them as well. They could give Revan his original story and make him the anti-Palpatine like he was supposed to be. He wasn't supposed to have been captured for 300 years. He was supposed to have stayed a Jedi Knight and infiltrate the Sith Empire and bring them down from the inside. It would've been an epic storyline, and now Disney can do it.
The original like the one he had pre disney. Disney isn't going to spend the good forty to fifty years it took to make the expanded universe.
Not just Disney, I meant before the book fucked it up and before TOR which made it worse.
Fuck disney
I was watching this almost 15 years ago
The video is a mix of Knights of the old republic 1 and 2, Jedi academy and Battlefront 2.
One of the star wars best games
Well told story and brilliantly executed...give us more!
swtor is developed by the same the same company so think about that before you say cant trust the info
Yes it is made by the company, Bioware, which made the 1st game, but Obsidian made the 2nd one.

Obsidian were the ones who introduced the idea of Revan leaving known space after the 1st game and had their own idea of how the new story they created should have ended.
I live in hope that one day we will actually see a proper single player "KOTOR 3".
azraelkhan So do I, so do I.
Reed019 Actually, the third one was set to be made by Bioware, which was cancelled by LucasArts. Obsidian says they still think about making a new one.
***** Ah ok, I'm sure both studios would have collaborated to an extent on the story though.
I remember the first time i watched this, when you first made this video. Good times, and still an EPIC video.
Very well done! You're combining of the different games was almost seemless!
Bravo!
Wow I remember watching this video 10 years ago! This is really well made for its time and the last bit is my favourite part, a master piece, you should make more KOTOR videos.
Can't believe it's been 10 years.
Dude that was pretty pinp. Very well put together. It really made me feel like I was watching a documentary
Its been almost 7 years, and this is still one of the most badass videos on youtube.

A really well made and well edited video. Surprisingly original and entertaining.
Good job, mate
This video deserves that many views. It is an amazing video so thank you.
That was very well done it really looked like a documentary.

It was a great twist, I remember how hyped I was about it the first time through. :D
AWESOME TRIBUTE!!!! Darth Revan, one of the most awesomest sith lords ever!
Great video compilation. The most important things about Revan are here. And my favourite character-Kreia
man that was so well put together well done
Your video was one of the first ones I watched on here and it is still my favorite Kotor video.
this is the best thing i have seen all week.
you rule!
you did a great job with this tale with all the games it was made with
I think that this movie is really cool, and putting the diffrent game scenes and gameplay really worked quiete well.
I love this video. Its like a documentary of Revan. I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!
i still watch this vid i found it in 06 it is still awsome
This is absolutely fantastic, thank you!
Amazing, I loved your video man. Don't worry, the brighter ones understood that you used Jedi Academy for the younger Revan and Malak. Again, this is amazing. Good job.

2021 still a master piece to this day
you still have this viedo i remeber wen i was 14 seeing this video im glade its still up
This may not be real but the scenes put together from different games is really cool. It all made sense as well. Good job man :)

Hey, I've played all the games you showed in this video. Awesome. =D

this is a good one thank you all hell revein!!!

Oh my god i love this documentery of revans tale! Good job azrael :D
This video has inspired me to start work on my own biography style video about Revan.
i like the way you put the games together
This story is in many ways even better than the story of the movies, this actualy deserves a movie of its own.
that was.....suprisling good! good job
this is a very clever video im giving it full stars
Ahhh!!!! I remember this video like the first youtube video I seen
amazing video with the best star wars character ever
Great vid!

I have to admit, after playing Kotor Revan became my favorite character in Star Wars... Bastila is also awesome.
