Revan and Bastila are not mentioned in this quest. They are mentioned in another quest, though. By my question about the endar spire is how does a ship get blown up, fall through an atmosphere, slam into a planet that is subsequently completely leveled, rot for 300 years, and still be in good enough condition that you can just flip a switch and turn on the lights and computers?

I've said it before and I'll say it again: I don't believe Revan should have been in this game at all. TOR is all about telling the story of the player character, and having them rescue (Republic) or kill (Sith) Revan seems, to me, like a cheap way of trying to validate the character's own status. But what bothers me the most about it is the story behind it. KOTOR was great and established a lot about the character. In TSL I know they needed a reason for him not to be around but I felt like the reason concocted for him was weak and totally absurd. The course of action that he took made no sense to me. I figure it's because they wanted to hit holiday sales so badly they just wrote the first thing that came to mind to be done with it. Honestly, I think the only reason he even appears in the game is due to his popularity and Bioware is gonna keep trying to pull him out as a way of retaining fans. They can call this canon all they want, to me it smells like crappy fanfiction.

Yeah, that, or, the Sith Lords, recognizing him as a viable threat due to him supposedly being a tactical genious as well as a powerful Jedi, ambushing him whilst he was on a mission and stranding him somewhere before launching their assault on the Republic. I say stranded instead of killed because if they had killed him then the shock of his death would've at least been felt by Bastila (via their force bond) and tipped the Republic off that something was wrong, in effect sabotaging their own plans. They could also have had him captured and forced him to watch as they begin to destroy the Republic he'd sworn to protect. Or they could've always just followed the arrogant path and killed him and be done with it.

No, I do not view Revan as somebody who can chew through entire armies and such. My complaint is that the storyline leading up to him being in TOR makes little sense. In my opinion Revan's story should have ended in the 300 year gap between the games. I had no complaints about Foundry itself, other then the fact that Revan even appears in TOR. He's a ghost of the past and should have stayed there.

Yep. Why do you ask?

Yeah, he does say that. I figure HK's memory core was destroyed in the fight so even if it looks like HK, HK it ain't. Also, you are wrong in my case. It's the story, not the mortality. I felt that the explanations crafted for Revan were weak and the decisions he made to depart and fight the True Sith made little sense, partly due to his mortality. Also, TOR is set 300 years later and focuses on a new batch of heroes. Revan's time was in the past. He should not have had a place in TOR.

I know they've declared it as canon, it's just very stupid.

IMO Revan shouldn't have been in the game to begin with. KOTOR2 began to deviate continuity in order to come up with a reason for him to not be there. In KOTOR1 it shows that Revan and Malak's fall to the dark side wasn't because of zelously chasing Mandalorians but kick-started by them exploring the Rakatan ruins on Dantooine and then using the Mandalorian war as an excuse to find the other star maps and claiming the star forge for themselves. Even still, the Emperor wanted them to use the Star Forge as a vanguard to weaken the Republic and kick-start his invasion by several centuries. In the end the Star Forge was destroyed and the Republic, though battered, was not much worse for the wear. It would have been much more plausible for Revan, described as a great tactician, to have stayed behind and help strengthen the Republic as much as possible instead of electing to keep it all secret and going on a suicide mission. Basically, I treat this storyline as an "alternate universe" type and move on.

It is currently unknown if he survived the battle in the foundry. Given Revan's popularity it's probable that Bioware will revive him later on. Personally, though, I felt he had no real place in the game to begin with. In KOTOR2 Obsidian needed a reason for him to not be there and came up with, in my opinion, a weak excuse that Bioware ran with in order to preserve him for later games just based on his popularity. In the end his storyline came out more like a fumbled fanfic then anything else.

Personally, after playing through KOTOR, reading up on everything, and playing TOR, the entire storyline for Revan seems to get absurd around the time they explain his absence from KOTOR2. The storyline seems, to me anyways, like a bad fanfiction. The way I look at it is that in this situation, if you don't like it, disregard it, 'cause it didn't make much sense anyways.
