The only butt hurtness is by the plethora of people that watched not only Revan explode, but in essence say, rather Shakespearean, "I am slain", then have the covert art for this game look at you and say, "Revan's story is ended." You're grasping at straws and desperately throwing fan fiction at the matter in the hopes that a great ending goes away.

So you want a hostage rather than a POW.

An alleged email from Drew saying "Just in case"...that's your argument that he definitively did not die? lol ok.

How do you have a PoW when there isn't a war?

Link. Why would anyone see that as likely?

In the Sith Warrior quest line you discover that the Republic is building a super weapon there.

He's dead Jim. All your hopes and attempts to turn it into something it's not are entirely misguided. Revan died, and it was a poetic and great ending.

Nope, his ending was perfect.

Because even in the case of cataclysmic explosions, structures, ships, and vessels don't disintegrate from hull damage.

The problem here is the pathetic slippery slope of listening to player demands and complaints. The reason he explodes is because people whined and moaned that he didn't die epically enough, so they threw in an arbitrary explosion to go "There, see? Is that epic enough?" "EXPLOSION??? Well in THAT case he must be alive !! 11 111!!" No, this is a "give a moose a muffin" principle. Your favorite character is dead, deal with it and move on.

Is that why everything in Jolee's life fell apart, and every single person that tried to repeat this philosophy ended up going ******* insane? I appreciate that you want to come up with a unique and new, unconventional, even hipster idea on the Force, but that's been covered, and it's wrong. Sorry. And yes, neutrality is indecision at its finest.

Because Jolee was wrong, and you shouldn't be rewarded for indecision.

When you don't understand the story venue and you have a poor understanding of moralities, you get threads like this.

The funny thing is, he's trolling you, AND he's eminently smarter than the other posters here. It's hilarious.

Hapes.

There's no room for finality or ends. If you want to argue that maybe he's done the whole "one with the Force, Qui-Gonn, Yoda, Obi-wan spirit" thing, that's great. But Revan died, just like Obi-wan did.

I genuinely have no opinion on the idea of him being IN the game because it was such a foregone conclusion that I didn't bother giving it any thought. It's SWTOR, of course Revan was going to appear, the question was were they going to make it successful and a climactic, worthy conclusion? That they did.

This is a fair complaint and I can empathize with it, because Drew is a bad writer and his novel was horrible. But, the novel exists, and that leaves us with a need to conclude Revan's story. In this case, his story was concluded well. I mean if it were up to me, he'd have gotten lost while exploring the Unknown Regions and starved to death like Amelia Earheart. You would've found his bones on a planet somewhere with a psychotic HK that can't accept his death building a shelter around his long rotted corpse.

Yeah no, he says "I'm dying", and then he dies. What's the big issue here? You linking a wiki doesn't invalidate the fact that he declares that he is dying, and then he explodes. And to answer your question, yes, I really do believe they'd bring him back just to kill him this quickly. And do you actually, honestly, mean to tell me that you are ONLY playing this game for Revan? That's it? Truly? Really?

Just making sure since the criticism of the Foundary is completely without merit if someone didn't actually do it. As far as I'm concerned, if Revan was going to appear, this was the perfect way to do it, and end it. It was, literally, an epic and amazing experience with a great conclusion to the story. If your complaint is that his ending should not have been in this particular timeline, that's great, I can understand and empathize with that. But this notion that if he's going to end here, this is bad because no less than 57 Jedi should be fighting him at the same time with a rotation of 42 healers...yeah that has no basis. And no, Revan does not "Deserve better".

Did you play the Foundry?

Wookiepedia is a horrifying inquisition of refuse and except for looking for small details about obscure topics, is a waste of internet space. The leaps and bounds they try to go through to argue that Dooku was not Yoda's padawan is disgusting and shows that what they care about is being the deciders of apocrypha, not the preservers of canon.

He vanished about as much as the victims of the South Korean airlines "vanished". He exploded. Death is a leading cause of "missed days of work" in people that suffer from explosions. HK is not being brought back to life. Revan makes it explicitly clear: HK is dead. Any repairs result in a whole new HK, he will "never be the same". You guys aren't mad that it's a bad story, you're mad because your favorite character is mortal. It's ok, we all felt the same way when Ned Stark got the axe.

Because he's alive and kicking.

He pronounces his death. Then he physically explodes. Then Malgus shrugs and says that HK's memory core should be stripped for intel but it's not high priority. Revan's dead.
