Summary
This incredibleStar Warscosplay of Darth Revan proves that the franchise needs to finally bring this beloved Sith Lord to the big screen with aStar Wars: Knights of the Old Republicmovie. Revan is one ofStar Wars’most powerful Sith, and although he has yet to make his on-screen appearance inStar Warsmovies and TV shows, he is part ofStar Warscanon.

However, fans still anxiously await his on-screen appearance inStar Warscanon, and this unbelievable cosplay proves how incredible that debut would be on the big screen. The cosplay, posted byks27cosplayon Instagram, depicts Darth Revan wielding a red lightsaber and a purple lightsaber and wearing his iconic Sith helmet.
As this cosplay makes clear, Darth Revan is simply undeniably cool, and his on-screenStar Warsdebut would surely be celebrated by audiences—so why has the franchise not brought this Sith Lord to life?

Darth Vader and Darth Revan are two of the most powerful Sith Lords in Star Wars canon. But of the two, who is the most powerful?
Why Hasn’t Star Wars Made A Knights Of The Old Republic Movie?
Star Warshas faced extreme backlash in recent years, from the sequel trilogy to newer additions such asThe Acolyte, yet aKnights of the Old Republicmovie seems almost guaranteed to be celebrated. If that’s the case,it’s odd thatStar Warshasn’t made or even announced plans to make aKnights of the Old Republicmovie. In fact, Darth Revan is a beloved Sith Lord in the franchise, but he is far from the only appeal of aKnights of the Old Republicmovie.

Rather, there are manyKnights of the Old RepublicSiththatStar Warsaudiences would love to see on-screen. Yet,Star Warsseems to have no current plans to make these viewer dreams a reality. Sadly, this seems to come down to the decisions that have been made since Disney purchased the rights toStar Wars. Essentially,Knights of the Old Republicseems to be in competition withDisneyStar Wars’High Republic Era. While the Old Republic would be long before the High Republic, it nevertheless seems to be a continuity concern.
However,Star Warsis certainly a franchise in which ‘never say never’ seems to apply, and that remains true forKnights of the Old Republicas well. Although there are currently no plans (at least that have been announced to the public) to bring these iconic Sith Lords to the big or small screen, that doesn’t mean that won’t change. As this incredible Darth Revan cosplay proves, too, this would surely be a smart move for theStar Warsfranchise—hopefully one that they will make sooner rather than later.
