10 Best Star Wars Video Game Heroes Ranked Worst To Best

The seminal Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic's mysterious player character, Revan, functions as both a noble Jedi and a diabolical Sith Lord over the course of the game.

Sporting a suitably spooky mask, the Jedi hero's fall to the dark side, coupled with their alliance-turned-rivalry with Darth Malak, makes for grim, compelling fare. With their memories of their Sith days wiped, players take control of Revan as they resume working for the Jedi, all while going on a journey of self-discovery to recall their true identity and potential.

The intriguing blend of self-realisation and haunted past themes make up much of Revan's character in KOTOR, turning them into an intriguing symbol of duality in the use of the Force. Ultimately, it's up to the player whether or not Revan rediscovers their inner hero fully.

The Jedi-friendly ending to the game sees Revan put a stop to the dangerous Darth Malak's diabolical plans and destroy the potentially devastating Star Forge weapon. For those who opt to do the noble narrative option, Revan is solidified as one of Star Wars' most powerful and effective protagonists, proving to be both brave and intimidating in equal measure.
