Hasn't there been some speculation that Revan's real name and/or heritage is going to be revealed soon?

They've already dealt with Squint. Maybe a final verdict would be easier knowing more about Revan's past, or even his fate. Any offspring? Too many unknowns.

Luke's tendency for "redemption" is his weakness. Revan, probably arrogance.

If it was for blood, the Skywalker heritage would prevail. Leader, Solider, Mini, it is Revan, at least for now.

Power/Knowledge/Dueling: different training, different knowledge, different times. Each either knows, or can do, something that the other can't.

Comparing Revan with Caedus would be fun. Caedus was a well-conceived character, and the Legacy authors did a fantastic job writing him. Even within the 9-book series, I don't think the three authors would have been able to adequately explore all of the Force knowledge and techniques that Caedus possessed.

Conceivably, the Caedus mini could have had either Master Tactician or Lightsaber Duelist. But the card was conceived before the series was complete. Maybe there will be a Caedus (Legacy) someday.

Caedus and Revan is probably for another time. For Luke/Revan, I'd say Luke, unless or until, Revan's name, heritage, and past are clarified. But even after that, I'd lean towards a Skywalker.

Revan didnt have to shoot them just choke/corrupt them...........way more fun!

Derived from "the Revanchist" or the "Revanchists."

He either was called "Revanchist" or decided to call himself that. His Darth title just shortens it.

Many of the Darth names have interesting roots. Revan's is French, probably from the Middle Ages, used as a synonym for "revenge," although it can be about recovering prestige or lost territory, which makes sense within French history before the 15th century.

Caedus is an odd one. My two best ideas are related to transformation, which makes sense given the Vong connection with Jacen. The transformation can be into something "beautiful" or "distorted/perverse." I suppose it comes down to perspective.

I wish I could ask any of the Legacy authors about that name.

What do you mean?

"Caedus" was the result of a fan suggestion contest. Here's the wookieepedia entry on the subject:

"As revealed at starwars.com, Jacen indeed became a Dark Lord of the Sith in Sacrifice. There was a contest through the site where registered members could choose Jacen's Sith name...

The winning name, which appeared at the end of Sacrifice, was "Darth Caedus." Caedus was originally thought to be an invention based on the Latin verb cædo, cædere (the noun form of which is cæsum, not cædus) which means "to cut" or "to kill"; however, Cædus is also a Latin noun, either of the second declension or the fourth, meaning "slaughter". It is a more obscure Latin root. Cædus would not necessarily be related to Cæsum. From both derivatives, the word's meanings accurately describe Jacen's increasingly violent tactics towards civilians and his murder of his own loved ones. This word is more obscure. "

True statement, but seems to be written by someone with apparently little gamer-nerd or online forum experience. If you are going to chuck around gamer slang, at least spell it right.

Revan by far pwns luke. First of all Revan was an excelled student of the force, then went sith and became super powerful. Then he was turned back to the light and again became super nasty. Revan has skill far beyond luke in knowledge of the force and in lightsaber training. Luke half assed his training then as he got older learned more about the force. Luke was a whiny little teenager like his father whereas Revan did something, recruited an army of his own and took it to war against the mandos, and saved the galaxy from them. Sorry but I also hate Luke, he's just not that cool at all. Sure he started it all, and I will give him credit for his abilities. The only thing he had going for him was he was the son of the "chosen one"

Revan is by far the better of the two.

I think it would be close but Luke would win

ummmm? leia was his sister dude, thats gross
