How to read this topic

Knights of the Old Republic remains one of the richest Legends settings for exploring Jedi and Sith institutions, war, memory, identity, and political change. Revan sits at the center of that world because the character moves through competing roles that are normally treated as opposites: Jedi, conqueror, Sith, prisoner, reconstructed identity, and later historical symbol.

The IDS Revan and KOTOR cluster keeps that biography inside its social setting. The Old Republic timeline provides the broad historical frame. Ancient Sith and Sith tradition pages explain the inherited ideas Revan encounters. Darth Traya and Naga Sadow connect KOTOR-era questions to other Legends debates about the Force, institutions, power, and historical memory.

The nightlife archive also matters here. Javyar's Cantina, the Upper City Cantina, and Jekk'Jekk Tarr make the Old Republic feel inhabited by ordinary workers, migrants, criminals, travelers, and species communities rather than only Jedi and Sith. That is why KOTOR is especially useful for IDS: its political and philosophical conflicts happen inside cities, occupations, economies, and everyday social spaces.

Quick orientation

Key questions

Use these answers as a map before opening the deeper archive files.

Is Darth Revan canon or Legends on IDS?

The detailed KOTOR biography is handled as Legends material. IDS labels continuity so that game-era history is not silently presented as current canon.

Why connect Revan to Darth Traya?

Both are central to Legends debates about Jedi and Sith institutions, but they approach the Force, authority, teaching, and historical responsibility in very different ways.

Why include cantinas in a Revan guide?

Because KOTOR's social world is built through cities, class divisions, species relations, work, crime, travel, and leisure as well as through its main philosophical conflict.
