10 Biggest Plot Twists In Star Wars History

What is widely regarded as the best Star Wars game of all time, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic's story and gameplay would go on to lay the foundations of what a great role-playing game could and should be.

Right from the beginning, the player is informed of the danger the Sith Lord, Darth Malak, poses to the galaxy and learns about the Dark Jedi and his empire throughout the game's playtime. A detail that is constantly brought up is that Malak had betrayed his master, Darth Revan, and had taken the title of Dark Lord of the Sith for himself after Revan's death. However, during the player's battle with Malak, it is finally revealed that you are Darth Revan, and that the Jedi had taken your body and wiped your mind after Malak's betrayal.

Given the nature of a role-playing game, the player is free to decide what to do with this information. The player could choose to eventually obliterate the Republic's fleet and retake their title as the Dark Lord of the Sith, or vanquish Malak, and destroy the Star Forge. No matter what decision the player makes, the reveal that you are Darth Revan most certainly shaped how the rest of the game was played, as well as what a good Star Wars twist could be.
