While I'm happy that LucasFilm wiped the entire EU because so much of it was goofy, IMO, it's sometimes fuzzy figuring out what's official and what's not.

Frankly, the realm of TOR is so solidly written and established, that any move to incorporate it in to the "new thing" would be sucky at best.

The negating of Revan and Bane from Clone Wars? Yep. Don't **** with a great thing. Let it be, and move on.

Whatever back-end they're trying to move in to this with Sydow and Serkis will unlikely have anything to do with TOR.

As it should be, IMO.

Thanks! I just looked up Darth Bane and it looks like a mess. I'd be shocked if they go down that road.

But the costume design of Kylo Ren and Revan are nearly identical and I'd be surprised if that was a coincidence.

More than likely, it's an homage. The character of Revan is WILDLY popular among SW fans. So much to the point, that people can dress in that costume and have as much fan recognition as Vader, Greedo, or whomever.

Bane is just something else entirely. His three series novels by Drew Karpyshin are just flat-out ****ing amazing. A lot of people cite Zahn or Matthew Stover as the "it" guys in that realm, but Drew just eats their ****ing lunch with his Darth Bane.

If you're on a long trip, I highly recommend.
