Star Wars: 10 Most Powerful Sith Lords

9. Darth Revan - The Revolutionary

Best known as the shock protagonist of Knights Of The Old Republic – you spend the first part of the game believing yourself a Republic soldier, only to later discover you’re actually a mind-wiped Sith Lord – Revan existed on both sides of the Force at various points, sometimes at the same time, but his ultimate legacy is skewed towards the Dark.

Briefly, he was a Jedi who was turned by the Sith Emperor, then formed his own cult with apprentice Malak, only to be betrayed and return to the Light Side as a hero (that’s the game bit). After some RPG-ing, he settled down, was recaptured by the Sith Empire and had his mind split, with half embracing the Dark Side and becoming even more powerful.

He eventually died a redemptive death, and was clearly defined by inner conflict, but when at his full Sith powers was able to take on the entire order that had existed before him. And that’s saying nothing of how his actions were interpreted by future generations; his impact can be traced all the way through to the movies...
