Introduction: The Quest for Canonization of Darth Revan

For years, fans of Star Wars have been eagerly awaiting the introduction of Darth Revan into the main Canon timeline. While Revan is almost entirely considered a Legends character, there have been a few mentions of him in Canon.

The Rise of Skywalker and Darth Revan's Canonization

One significant mention of Darth Revan in Canon comes from The Rise of Skywalker expanded novel, where it is revealed that Darth Sidious' 3rd legion for the Sith Eternal is named after Revan. While this does not detail his background, it does prove that Darth Revan exists in Canon. His non-canonical appearance in these novels brings us a step closer to understanding more about him within the official Star Wars universe.

Revan's Legion and Beyond

The 5th Andeddu legion, named after a mysterious ancient Sith Lord, is one of the other Haramian Lucent Sith Lords canonized in The Rise of Skywalker Visual Dictionary. These legions, however, are only tangentially related to Revan, as they represent other legendary Sith figures. Other canonized Sith Lords include:

The 5th Andeddu Legion

This legion is named after Darth Andeddu, also known as the Immortal God-King of Prakith. Andeddu was an ancient Dark Lord of the Sith, who is believed to be the forebear of other legendary Sith Lords. Although his role in the Star Wars Legacy is not clear, his legacy lives on through his named legion.

Darth Tanis and the 17th Sith Legion

Darth Tanis, a Disney original Sith Lord, created the superweapon in the Sith Temple on the planet Malachor. Like Andeddu, the 17th Legion of the Sith Eternal was named after him, further cementing his place in the ancient history of the Sith.

The 26th Tenebrous Legion

Named after Darth Tenebrous, a male Bith and Dark Lord of the Sith, this legion is a testament to his reputation as a prestigious starship designer. Tenebrous was also a scientific mastermind, known for his calculating intellect and obsession with shaping the future. His official canonization adds another layer of complexity to the ancient history of the Sith.

The 39th Phobos Legion

Mentioned in The Rise of Skywalker Visual Dictionary, the 39th Phobos Legion is named after Darth Phobos, a female Theelin Sith Lord. Clever and manipulative, Phobos rose to power through cunning and violence, earning the name 'The Crazed' among her peers. Her backstory adds an intriguing and complex narrative to the ancient Sith.

The 44th Desolous Legion

The 44th Desolous Legion is named after Darth Desolous, a male Pauan who turned to the dark side of the Force in 3522 BBY. As a revered Jedi Master, Desolous was expelled from the Order, becoming a powerful Sith Lord vowing revenge on the Jedi. His legion of Pauan warriors, trained in martial arts and battle tactics, played a significant role in an epic battle against the Jedi Order on Yaga Minor, where Desolous himself fell in battle.

Conclusion: The Growing Family of Dark Lords

The official canonization of these legendary Sith Lords, including Darth Revan, marks a significant milestone in the Star Wars universe. Each of these Dark Lords has a unique and important role, contributing to the rich history and lore of the ancient Sith. For fans like us, eagerly awaiting more information about Darth Revan, there is a sense of anticipation and excitement about what lies ahead in the future of the Star Wars Canon.
