Star Wars: 10 Greatest Sith Lords You'll Never Forget

5. Darth Revan

Darth Revan is something of a fan favourite in the Star Wars community and tends to rank higher up these lists due to people fondness of him, hell even I wanted to because is he also my favourite character in the universe. Revan was once a naive young Jedi at the time of the Mandolorian wars. He argued that instead of sitting on the sidelines the Jedi should intervene. Although the Jedi Council stood fast in there decision Revan defied them and rallied other Jedi to him. After leading his forces to victory he persuaded the Mandolorians into unknown space, where he and his apprentice Malak found Dromund-Kaas and came face to face with the Sith Emperor and the long hidden Sith Empire. Here he was seduced by the Emperor and descended into darkness becoming the Emperors servant who dubbed him Darth Revan. Revan set out from Dromund-Kaas with a new mission from his Master to find the Legendary Star-Forge.

Commanding the loyalty of those who had followed him into the Mandolorian war and an armada constructed by the Star-forge, he led a crusade against the Republic forging his own Empire separate from the one he found on Dromound-Kaas. His victory seemed almost certain until he was lured into a trap set by the Jedi. Just before he engaged the Jedi in combat his apprentice Darth Malak betrayed him and seized control of his empire.

Revan however was not killed, he was captured by the Jedi who were able to erase the memories of his dark past and bring him back to the light side of the force. Although he would later regain his memories he refused to fall back to the dark side. Later he would go on to destroy the empire he had founded, destroying both the Star-forge and his apprentice Malak in the process.

After this he left to the unkown regions to pursue the true Sith Empire.
