Quotations

Death is such a small impediment.

The Dark Lord Revan is dead. I am a servant of the light now.

What greater weapon is there than to turn an enemy to your cause- to use their own knowledge against them?

The Jedi do not believe in killing their prisoners. No one deserves execution, no matter what their crimes.

There was something lurking out there, something that devoured Revan and Malak - and many other Jedi.

Malak is dead! All hail the return of Darth Revan, the true Lord of the Sith! [Dark Side ending]Bastila Shan: On which planet were you born?

Revan: Kashyyyk. I'm a Wookiee...can't you tell?

Bastila Shan: What is your background?

Revan: I'm a Hutt in human form planning to overthrow the Republic.

Bastilla Shan: How old are you?
