I love the subtlety in the choreography. Revan is obviously holding back, purposely refusing to kill his former friend and confidant outright, but he needs to maintain control over a lapdog that has gone rabid. And Malak knows that his master knows him too well, and that fully giving into his hatred and jealousy would be a death sentence, so he is treading a fine line between fighting like a true Sith and a madman. Malak knew that he he was beaten, he probably knew it as soon as their sabers clashed, but he committed to it, realizing that giving into his fear and surrendering would only guarantee him a slow death, so he accepts his failure with dignity, Revan taking the opportunity to scar Malak in a way that he will have to wear his shame forever.

All due respect to the creator but let's not oversell it here.

This was absolutely perfect, I especially loved the last little exchange before Revan took Malak’s jaw.

I also love how even though malak is clearly weaker, he’s still able to contend with Revan and proves how dangerous he would become, Revan had to fight for that victory , but once he had it, it was game over

[@TheKueiJin]

The thing is Revan was never a powerhouse. His intellect is the most dangerous weapon he wields, and Malak is the opposite, bigger, stronger, dumber.

[@Daltoneil]

Indeed Revan was never a powerhouse but still was a great fighter, just like Malak is his exact opposite by not being a genius but was still far from being stupid. He still achieved things Revan didn’t and sadly doesnt get enough credit for his character.

[@ras8472]

Revan's power never came from his physical feats but it was a combination of his intelligence, being a master tactician, and through his mastery of the Force itself. His power of the Force at the time was beyond anything anyone could comprehend and it's why both Sith and even the Jedi feared him regardless of which side he was on at the time. It's why he's my all time favorite character in Star Wars, especially after he was redeemed by killing Malak and he had mastery of both light and dark side powers. By all intents and purposes Revan could easily be considered the strongest grey Jedi in all of Star Wars canon (if he ever does become canon that is 😭)

[@ras8472]

@@wzero07 wait what, he did?! I know they they've been heavily hinting at Old Republic stuff and slowly making things canon little by little and I know about the Revan squadron of Sith Troopers in Rise of Skywalker, but when I say canonize I mean hard canonizing him in a movie or show

[@Zand3rParkour]

I would agree with you, except that Malak had no chance against Revan in this fight as he was taking a poor one-handed fighting style against Revan's two-handed grip, which gives them better defensive ability and control. A one-handed grip is only advantageous when you are actually using the off-hand for something: a second weapon, a shield, using the force to manipulate the environment (see Dooku vs Yoda in AOTC), force lightning, etc.

At the later point of betrayal , He did used the moment of weakness of Darth Revan to His advantage. The old lesson paid out for Darth Malak in the end...or did it, in the end? KotOR was awesome!

They came back as Sith Lords, with Revan being defeated by a Jedi strike force and getting shot at by Malak's cruiser, which knocked Revan out and got him captured. SWTOR was in line with the books for what happened to Revan, Lord Scourge, and the Exile btw.

[@swk0t0rfan]

@@AdmiralHalimesh Nope.. What we know from KotOR 1 & 2 is that while he was in Malachor V, Revan found out about the existence of the True Sith, hiding and waiting deep in the Uncharted Territories. During the Mandalorian Wars he secretly looked for the Star Forge - an ancient weapon of the Rakatan empire that he used to amass a fleet of unimaginable strength to challenge the Republic. Kreia specifically says that he never actually "fell" to the Dark Side - he only used it as a tool and his purpose was to prepare the Republic for the incoming war with the True Sith. In fact, he didn't care if he would conquer the Republic or be defeated - the important thing for him was that a victor would emerge united and stronger than ever! That is why, as teased in this trailer, he always spared key strategic targets from ruin and never indulged in senseless destruction as Malak did! After Malak attacked his cruiser and Revan was captured by the Jedi, his memory was wiped and his plan was forgotten and effectively ruined, as the war dragged on for much longer and resulted in a lot of unnecessary casualties, straining both sides.. Revan didn't regain his memories until after the events of KotOR 1, at which point he ventured alone in the Uncharted Territories for reasons unknown, even leaving his lightsaber behind as he would not need it anymore. Before leaving, he entrusted Canderous with rebuilding the Mandalorians to their former glory as the new Mandalore and building an army that would aid the Republic when the time comes. Then in KotOR 2, the whole point of T3-M4 coming back from the Uncharted Territories with the Ebon Hawk was for him to get the Exile and lead him to Revan! All of the events you mentioned are retcons made by the MMO and I will never acknowledge any of them until I breathe! The books were also written as tie-ins to the MMO, not to the original games, so of course they would try to be in line with the retconned continuity!

He directly disobeyed the whole Jedi order and every master he ever had bar 1, not for his own power, but because he saw that the Jedi could help the general public on the horrors that were the Mandalorian wars. During the Mandalorian wars, he discovered the star maps whoch eventually led him to the star forge, but also the infinite empire who brainwashed him to prepare the republic for their invasion by turning him to the sith. Despite Valkorian being infinitely more powerful than Revan, Revan was able to have some semblance of his former self, and while still falling to the Darkside he always had the goal of strengthening the galaxy to take on the biggest threat they had ever encountered (through harnessing the power of the star forge while simultaneously keeping his distance from the space station as to not lose his mind and goals, e.g Malak) He then had his mind erased completely, woke up on a space station without a single memory at all, fought his way through the sith forces to crash on Taris, where he canonically decided to help people out purely because that is who he is, not as a Jedi but as a normal human being. He then found he was EXTREMELY force sensitive, went back to the Jedi order, absolutely smashed all the training and tests they gave him on record time. Then went on to practically liberate multiple worlds, of his own accord, before finding out who he actually was and still continuing on his quest to defeat the dark side. All of this after he beat one of the biggest threats of his generation on single combat (Mandalore) Revan is by far and easily one of the most thought out and best characters in the star wars universe. I'd argue he is the best, but characters like Bane have an argument to be made. But Revan has for more depth and character than any character that has been in the live action films.

Amazing work, my friend. Here's some details I noticed: 1. The hilt for Revan's lightsaber looks the same as the Fallen Revan lightsaber from SWTOR. I noticed it during the bladelock moment at the 2:08 mark. Sorry I couldn't put the actual timestamp. 2. Revan is fighting Malak with only one lightsaber instead of his iconic dual-blade style, implying he wasn't taking Malak that seriously. The fact that Revan's movements seem casual and almost relaxed support this perspective. 3. Had Malak stayed down after the glancing strike to his back, he wouldn't have lost his jaw. 4. When the Admiral pointed out Revan's orders weren't to bomb Telos, Malak ignored them. This actually happened during the Jedi Civil War, which proves to me you did your research. 5. When the battle between Revan and Malak begins, Revan's opening move was to beat Malak with the Force and not with his lightsaber. According to a statement by Drew Karpyshyn, one of the writers for KOTOR, in terms of lightsaber combat Malak is actually Revan's superior. This means Revan attacked Malak with the Force first because he didn't want to fight on Malak's terms. All in all, these small details are what made this video enjoyable. I hope to see more of such dedication in the future. Bye! Edit: Looks like KZbin automatically put the timestamp for me. Thanks man. 2nd Edit: Another small detail I just realized. Since Malak bombed Telos after his duel with Revan, that could have been his way of getting back at Revan for cutting off his jaw.

Guess who was stupid enough to obliterate the entire planet (again!) with main caliber *(again!!!)*? There was a strike two. d) Malak's attempt to overthrow Revan in the duel obviously became the "last straw" when the Emperor lost his patience. In my line of work the duel happened shortly after exhausting campaign at the Lannik system, where Republic Fleet threw Sith Army back to the Outer Rim, because even coordinated efforts of Master Tactician Revan and Great General Saul Karath was grinded to dust - thanks to Bastila's Battle Meditation. Actually, he even thinks that Bastila's Power of the Force is nothing more and nothing less but severe backlash. Guess whose fault is it?)))

[@LAXtroop567]

That scene with Admiral Karath and Malak is a real scene from the game. It shows Malak without his full artificial jaw, but yeah, normally his artificial jaw/collar thing does completely cover the wound. That's why it ends up being a shock in the game when you see why he wears the collar/device.

[@АндрейРыжаков-э5ч]

@@LAXtroop567 not really - it happens after the Leviathan mission, where admiral Karath becomes ex-admiral. Another commander is talking to Malak aboard the Star Forge. Here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r6W6dICliNage6M&ab_channel=iFlyFlightSims

@@АндрейРыжаков-э5ч K cool--I haven't played the game in probably 8 years and misremembered the details. Thanks

gotta wonder if he still has to brush his teeth haha

@@ShadowStrikerz26 since his teeth were gone I don’t think he did

[@Gyarretto7]

I have to give serious props to you for animating Malak's mouth movements with the little bit of jaw he has left. It would have been perfectly understandable to have his mouth totally static, the way it was shown in the original game, but you went the extra mile, animating something you didn't need to, and it paid off very nicely.

[@richardgaynor2659]

Absolutely amazing! Would love to see more from this time period, but only if it's handled with the same care you achieved. Congratulations

[@kix-CT6116]

May I just say that this is incredible! The duel in particular was astoundingly beautiful, well-choreographed, and you really nailed the weapons' interaction with each other. Thank you for all the hard work and dedication you put into this video!

great work!

Please make this a movie or TV show. This is what the fans are looking for to bring back faith in star wars

Absolutely perfect ! I would trade the last trilogy for a full movie like this in a heartbeat.

Yes.Yes.Yes...YES.

This is what called the 'jaw dropping' duel!

[@david-ge3cz]

Only 5 and a half minutes and still miles better than the new trilogy

[@Blackbird0098]

God the sheer level of detail is incredible, the fact that even though he’s missing his jaw you can see the remaining muscles on his face move as if it was still there is nuts

[@tramytrunk1561]

The moment I saw the intro with our beloved crew, i knew this is going to be jawbreaking experience. Thank you

[@Andrew_Heckert]

I remember when HK-47 was explaining how Malak lost his jaw to Revan, I would try to picture how it happened. This was great to see. Amazing job!

[@brandonkruse825]

The fact that this was all created in Unreal shows how far we’ve come in just 10 years. As more people learn the tools and Unreal creates better toolsets (see Unreal Engine 5) I’m excited about where the next 10 years takes us.

[@kingbooomer9231]

Here after the news. What a real tragedy that this is a symbol of what could’ve been; for Disney and Lucasfilm if they committed to the cause wholeheartedly, for Star Wars to re-embrace old lore and fold it back into the Canon, for Unreal Cinema and the amount of sacrifice and effort that was put into this, and for the fans who were united to see this into a reality :( . I hope you’re able to recover Scott, your work is tremendous and we recognize the painstaking amount of work and time you’ve devoted

[@jedimasterpickle3]

This was absolutely amazing. Everything was just stunning. The duel between Revan and Malak reveals so much about their characters without either of them saying a word.

[@jonnybaynham1689]

Brilliant work. So much care, attention, and skill put into this film. Many have tried doing Revan fan videos but this really felt like the Revan and Malak of KOTOR

[@NightBane345]

I just love this, without question This is the embodiment of Star Wars, the details, the voice acting, everything is so amazing. I wish everyone involved would be hired, and allowed to do all of Kotor in a cinematic form like this. Would be the best thing that has happened to Star Wars in a long time, and trump so much that has come before it. For me, it would even trump that of Mandalorian or the Bad Batch. I hope you and everyone involved makes more videos like this, Star Wars Legends deserves to be remembered, and I feel you all could do that, with the respect it deserves

[@clefsan]

If Disney hires them, but retains creative control on what projects these talented people get used for, you will get a result similar to what happened when Games Workshop took some of the best Warhammer40k fan animators off the free market and had them make the painful to watch drek for their Warhammer+ streaming service. Imho, as long as nothing fundamental changes at the top of Disney, creative people are better off staying independent.

3:43 Revan is so powerful that he can move his mask through his robe.

It's so good to see some real Star Wars every now and then.
