Description This is a drawing I have been wanting to do for a long time, and is my way of showing just how much I totally love Revan and HK-47!

The idea came to mind when I noticed several similarities between two of Star Wars' most powerful teens - Revan and Anakin. Interesting, since their lives are separated by almost 4,000 years worth of time.

What do the two have in common? Well, first off - they both built their own droid. And as Revan so boldly (and shamelessly) states, HK is obviously the one you'd much rather have as back-up! Both droids are funny, in VERY different ways and provide a sort of comic-relief, in addition to both also having a counterpart to argue with (C-3PO/R2-D2 and HK-47/T3-M4). BioWare knew a winning formula when they saw one!

The two Jedi also have impressive war careers, raise in rank quickly and early, and of course, fall to the dark side. Revan is the first known "Darth", and later Vader also gets the designation. To Star Wars fans, he's the first of the Darths we're introduced to. They are also both redeemed and brought back to the light side.

A few more minor similarities - both are very talented podracers... wear really cool armor when they're Sith Lords... fall into wonderfully forbidden love... and slaughter a whole bunch of sand people! (OK, so that's only if you go dark side for Revan... but still. The option's there.)

But in the end, although I do love Threepio and Ani, I gotta go with my girl Rev. She made HK. What else can be said? Haha.

Well, I hope this makes you all laugh as much as it did for me! I was scared that C-3PO was going to look terrible since this was my first time drawing him.. Anakin too.
I would love to hear what you think of this sketch! Thank you for taking the time to look!

Thank you so much!
Yeah, I was actually surprised myself at how many similarities I could think of between the two.
I know, I do love Darth Vader... he is the original scary Star Wars Sith Lord we all know and love! And he's got the best lines... "I find your lack of faith disturbing..."
I guess I just gave a one-up to Revan because she keeps it together in her teenage years, while Anakin, well... doesn't.

You're welcome!! 8D
LucasArts really likes to have similarities between the original Star Wars characters and the KotOR characters. Like Atton and Han, for example. I think Atton is way cooler than Han, even though Han was made first.
Yeah! Darth Vader really does have some cool quotes. ♥
I know what you mean.. he really doesn't, does he? XD

Yeah! Usually I'd think it a little lazy on the writers' part to reuse so many ideas, but this is Star Wars, so it's exempt. The characters and scenarios are so classic and well-loved, why not have another funny pair of droids, or a bad-boy scoundrel? I think for the most part, BioWare and Obsidian were throwing in all the references for the sake of fans who'd probably be happy to pick up on the familiarities.

Haha, Atton is definitely more forward than Han! He makes a lot of jokes and doesn't complain nearly as much as Han does.

I know what you mean, Star Wars us ab exception! 8D
Yes, so true. It's really cool picking up on the things that were similar to the movies in KotOR.

Yep! YAY FOR ATTON!!!

Hehehe, you know, I've always wanted to see Anakin's reaction to a Revan...ANY Revan (or all of them all at once)!

And yes, HK pwns pretty hard!

I'm guessing you had a similar idea in mind that I did - that he'd be scared as hell.
Poor boy.. he thought he was the baddest Jedi gone Sith Lord. Guess he needs a lesson in Galactic History.
Haha, thanks for commenting! Oh yes, we all HK!

Of course! Hehe, with all the different versions of Revan out there, poor Ani would be horrified.
Ah yes, study your history Skywalker...it just may come back and bite you in the ass

Heheh... yes. He needs a swift kick in the behind from Revan.. ANY Revan.
History tends to repeat itself! Even more so in the SW universe.

So true! A Revan/Ani fight wouldn't even be considered a contest...
That it does!

Dang! I don't even want to see HK and 3PO fight! Poor C-3PO. Well, still gotta love 'em droids! Yes, Revan and Anakin are very similar.

I swear, I love your Revan! She seriously reminds me of Revy from Black Lagoon.

RadStratRadar In reply to RevanBodyguard [2010-04-21 05:05:19 +0000 UTC]

Heheh... yeah, C-3PO wouldn't stand a chance.
Thank you!! Ah, you noticed that, did you? Haha, I wanted to make sure Revan looked really... what's the word.. snarky. So I couldn't help but give her a Revy-like face. You're probably one of the few who'll even notice that, but I am happy that you did!
I love Revy.. and I love Revan. And they both kick ass. So sometimes the two just sort of overlap for me.

You're welcome! Hehe, I rather like the Revan/Revy comparison. I thought their personalities are alike and in your style, hey, your Revan looks a bit like Two-Hands. XD

RadStratRadar In reply to RevanBodyguard [2010-04-22 05:11:59 +0000 UTC]

Thanks!
She's Two-Hands, Star Wars style.
Revy would make one hell of a Jedi... although she'd probably just say, "What? Force? What a bunch of bull.."

RevanBodyguard In reply to RadStratRadar [2010-04-22 06:04:29 +0000 UTC]

Awesomeness.
Yeah, Revy would make the Jedi Masters' jaw drop. She would say that and much more.

Dang girl! Keep it up! HK TOTALLY does own 3PO!

And Revan just kicks butt cause she's a girl and THAT awesome.

Plus, I'm thinking she knows a LOT more about the force than Ani because she had tons more access to Jedi/Sith material since the Jedi were really big back then.

RadStratRadar In reply to StravenLite [2010-04-20 14:34:41 +0000 UTC]

Thank you!
Haha, you're definitely right about that! I was going to add to my description above that comparing the two only reinstates the idea that Revan is female, even if canon says otherwise. But, I refrained to keep it from becoming a novel. Revan simply rocks, and both she and her awesome droid just make the other two look pretty sad.
That's true... Obi-wan kicked butt, and I'm sure Sidious had some talents.. well, he was good at lightning, anyway. But, yeah.. the Jedi were very different in Ani's era vs what Revan had available in her training. And she's actually the one to blame for that, seeing as that she purged the Jedi. Talk about strategically keeping a control of power!

Glad you got some lulz.

Oh, and you know how a stormtrooper blasted C-3PO then he was chopped up in Cloud City and afterward (poorly) reassembled?

Well, I'd like to see Chewie reassemble a bunch of gold dust after See-three being ambushed by HK-47.

RadStratRadar In reply to BlackSpotDesign [2010-04-20 12:45:08 +0000 UTC]

Yep, that would be utterly impossible! And poor R2 would have to find another protocol droid to argue with. It's a shame HK didn't make it to the Rebellion Era... he would've been the perfect counter balance to characters like Jar Jar.

I'm still waiting for the deleted scene from The Phantom Menace where Jar Jar falls into a wood chipper.

So am I.... his tongue getting shocked was nowhere near enough abuse for what we had to endure watching him.
