What did you like best about Star Wars: The Old Republic: Revan? What did you like least? In the end, the book was a fun to listen to, well written, and gave me a lot of interesting concepts to consider. The inclusion of the Emperor was a treat and his back story did not disappoint. I ultimately finished the book wishing Revan got to play with his powers in a awe-inspiring way that would have come across more satisfying/substantial. Revan was not used well from a user of the force perspective and the story was left to other methods to entertain the reader/listener. Yet, in the end, this book did not do that. I kept waiting for the book to show me the use of the force in unique and captivating way (the Emperor story line touched on that). The production on this book was fantastic. The epilogue also gave me a grumpy face and seemed overly forced, almost as if the author was instructed to write something to give the abrupt ending a conclusion.In short, my emotions spanned the gambit by the end. However, the redeeming qualities did not dissuade my shock by how abrupt the ending was or why Revan was made so apparently ineffectual throughout. The author's ability to include interesting details and characters redeemed the book as I continued to look forward to each new chapter. Yet, I still found myself excited to learn more about the back story behind the Emperor and Scourge. I was mad, almost angry, at the way the author seemingly disposed of the Revan storyline (after his capture). He was simply invaluable and a delight to listen to.ĭid you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?Īnger, excitement, redemption, confusion, and grumpy face. Marc Thompson brought exceptional voice acting and emotion to the story. What does Marc Thompson bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book? I only wish the author spent more time devoted to Revan's story and abilities. I should note that the author did a excellent job with all the characters. The Sith protagonist, Lord Scourge, was also well delivered, but my curiosity kept drifting to the light side/dark side duality or Revan. If you could sum up Star Wars: The Old Republic: Revan in three words, what would they be? If you have played it, this book is a must buy.
I hope someone who hasn't will review this book soon. As for people who have not played the Knights of the Old Republic, it's really hard to recommend this book to you.
It's been a treat to listen to the more recent unabridged Star Wars books narrated by Mr. As for the audio, Marc Thompson does it again. I'm more excited than ever to get my hands on it, which is the whole reason this book was written in the first place. I can't wait to play The Old Republic in a month to see how this book will tie into that game as well. That said, if you have played the game, this book explores most of the things that went unexplained in the game. If you haven't, you're probably not going to get most of the references during Revan's part of the story. It's very important to have played that game if you want to get the most out of this book. Let me first start by saying, I played the video game Knights of the Old Republic. Did you play Knights of the Old Republic?
