Galactic Gossip: What REALLY Happened to Revan and Malak?

By Xara Vale, HoloNet’s Leading Whisper Broker

Darlings of the galactic rumor mill, brace yourselves! The tangled tale of Revan and Malak—the Jedi heroes-turned-Sith Lords—has been whispered across the stars for years, but what REALLY happened to them after their infamous rise and catastrophic fall? Grab your Corellian ale, because this story is juicier than a Hutt’s bookkeeping scandal!

The Jedi’s Best-Kept Secret?

For years, the official Jedi narrative was that Revan was “redeemed” by the Order, defeated Malak, and then willingly vanished into the Unknown Regions. Convenient, right? But let’s not be naive, sweetlings—when do Jedi ever just walk away? The truth might be more sinister than the Order lets on.

Insider sources (looking at you, disillusioned Sith acolytes!) claim that Revan never truly abandoned the Dark Side. Instead, after Malak’s defeat, Revan supposedly “played nice” just long enough to gain the Jedi Council’s trust—only to slip away on a top-secret mission. But what was this mission?

Revan vs. The TRUE Sith?

Rumors swirling in the Outer Rim suggest that Revan wasn’t just chasing ghosts. Instead, he may have uncovered evidence of a hidden Sith Empire beyond the known galaxy, far more powerful than the Republic had ever imagined. Some even whisper that the “true” Sith had been pulling strings for centuries—and Revan, always the overachiever, took it upon himself to stop them.

Malak’s Bitter Betrayal

Let’s talk about Darth Malak for a moment. The official record paints him as an unhinged brute, the reckless apprentice who got power-hungry and turned on his master. But, honey, here’s the real tea: Malak’s betrayal wasn’t just about power—it was personal.

Gossip from Sith loyalists claims that Revan and Malak were closer than just master and apprentice. Best friends? Brothers-in-arms? Secret lovers? The Holonet forums are aflame with speculation. What’s clear is that Malak despised playing second fiddle, and when he saw an opportunity to seize Revan’s empire, he took it—no matter the cost.

And let’s be real, the Jedi Council made it way too easy to paint Revan as the tragic hero and Malak as the cackling villain. But maybe—just maybe—Malak had his own reasons for taking Revan down.

Revan: Sith Emperor or Forgotten Legend?

So, what’s the final word? Some say Revan vanished in pursuit of the true Sith, never to be seen again. Others claim he became one of them, rising through the ranks of an ancient Sith hierarchy, possibly even ruling from the shadows.

And for the ultra-conspiratorial among us, there’s a wild theory floating around: Revan was actually captured, brainwashed, and used as a pawn by the true Sith to infiltrate the Republic. Could he have been working for the Dark Side all along?

So many questions, so little actual proof. But one thing’s for sure—Revan and Malak’s story isn’t just some ancient history lesson. Whatever happened to them still sends shockwaves through the galaxy today.

Will we ever know the full truth? If Revan’s still out there, I wouldn’t count him out just yet.
