New TOR Novel “Revan” Available Today

Leave a comment

Just a reminder that the new Star Wars: The Old Republic era novel “Revan” by Drew Karpyshyn drops at book sellers. Here is the official synopsis:

Revan: hero, traitor, conqueror, villain, savior. A Jedi who left Coruscant to defeat Mandalorians—and returned a disciple of the dark side, bent on destroying the Republic. The Jedi Council gave Revan his life back, but the price of redemption was high. His memories have been erased. All that’s left are nightmares—and deep, abiding fear.

What exactly happened beyond the Outer Rim? Revan can’t quite remember, yet can’t entirely forget. Somehow he stumbled across a terrible secret that threatens the very existence of the Republic. With no idea what it is, or how to stop it, Revan may very well fail, for he’s never faced a more powerful and diabolic enemy. But only death can stop him from trying.

New Revan Novel Announced

1 Comment

Star Wars™: The Old Republic™ is continuing to expand beyond the core game and into novels and comics. Del Rey Books has already published two novels in the Old Republic timeline, Fatal Alliance and Deceived, and last year announced that a third Old Republic novel was to be written by Drew Karpyshyn, Principal Writer at BioWare, and author of the Darth Bane series of Star Wars™ novels.

Now the name of that novel can be revealed: Revan. As well as exploring what happened to Revan after Knights of the Old Republic, in this novel readers will learn who the Sith Emperor is in the time of the Old Republic, where he came from and how he has held onto power for so long.

Visit the Star Wars: The Old Republic website for an exclusive Q&A with Drew Karpyshyn on Revan.

Episode 292 – Paul S. Kemp has us Deceived

Leave a comment

At San Diego Comic Con the past couple years, and Star Wars Celebration 5, the trailer for Knights of The Old Republic called “Deceived”, showing a group of Sith and a Mando sacking the Jedi Temple have had Star Wars fans drooling. While that trailer is actually not part of the game, fan response was so high that there had to be more given to that story, and now we have it — Paul S. Kemp’s Old Republic video game tie-in novel Deceived, which tells of that attack and its aftermath. On this week’s Star Wars Action News, Paul talks to Arnie about the writing of the novel, and its themes of attachment and the Jedi code.

Also this week, Marjorie and Arnie bring news of new releases from eFX Collectibles, Sideshow Collectibles, Gentle Giant, and more!
