Star Wars: The Old Republic: Revan

Great Filler for SWTOR Republic Players, Not Great on Its Own Dirty Ears K-Wal After playing the MMO "The Old Republic" (TOR) on and off for a few years, I finally started to get into the lore of the game. Outside of the game the first place I looked - after some player reccomendations - was "Revan." The novel "fills in the blanks" between not just Knights of the Old Republic (KotOR) 2 and TOR, but also between the first two KotOR games. "Revan" sets the stage for SOME of the storylines in TOR, but nothing too earth shattering.I read this in hindsight, and unfortunately the novel's short length doesn't allow for a whole of additional "meat" than, say, a Wi. Amazon Customer said I honestly don't see why everyone is so enamored with Malgus.. This review is more a critique on the character of Malgus than anything else.One of the big complaints about the Star Wars books that focus on Luke Skywalker is because he's so powerful at this point in his life there is little drama with him. Since Luke always wins and since Luke is so powerful the battles are over before they even begin which removes all sense of anticipation and intrigue. I find it ironic then that everyone in these reviews raves about Malgus. I find the virtually invincible Sith Lord who mows down scores of Jedi Knights without even breaking a sweat as annoy. Sloppy, boring, disappointing colonel54 This was an extremely disappointing book and not worth your money. Not even the Kindle price. The last third of the kindle version is full of sample chapters for other books. If I wanted samples if those books I would have downloaded them for free on my own instead of unwittingly paying for them.But about the book. For KOTOR fans it was a huge let down. The characters from KOTOR 1 are all mentioned by name at least once, but only Canderous plays some sort of significant role. Bastilla just sits on Couresant while Revan goes off on an adventure.The events if KOTOR 2 are given a f

His memories have been erased. Somehow he stumbled across a terrible secret that threatens the very existence of the Republic. The Jedi Council gave Revan his life back, but the price of redemption was high. What exactly happened beyond the Outer Rim? Revan can't quite remember, yet can't entirely forget. All that's left are nightmares - and deep, abiding fear. With no idea what it is, or how to stop it, Revan may very well fail, for he's never faced a more powerful and diabolic enemy. There's something out there: a juggernaut of evil bearing down to crush the Republic - unless one lone Jedi, shunned and reviled, can stop it.Revan: hero, traitor, conqueror, villain, savior. A Jedi who left Coruscant to defeat Mandalorians -and returned a disciple of the dark side, bent on destroying the Republic. But only death can stop him from trying.
