Star Wars: The Force Awakens - 8 Things You Need To Know About The New Lightsaber
7. The Wielder
So it's obvious that the person in question is obviously a Sith given his dark robes and red lightsaber, but what else is there to know about him? Well, concept art that was leaked all the way back in October, which revealed the new lightsaber design as well, gives a few hints. These photo leaks demonstrated that the new big bad seems to have a look of Darth Vader and something else about him. That something else would be Revan, from the classic Star Wars RPG Knights Of The Old Republic. Revan was originally on the light side of the Force before being turned to the Dark Side by the Sith Emperor. He eventually became Darth Revan, also known as Revan the Butcher. All of that would seemingly make him a perfect enemy for the new Star Wars film. However, Revans story actually happened 4,000 years before the original trilogy, so how could he return after such a time? Well, some are claiming that a character in the new film has been searching out Sith relics, so perhaps that has something to do with a potential return for this fan-favourite in some form.
