It’s impossible to discuss Keanu Reeves or “Star Wars” and not mention Revan. Fans have long hoped the Jedi-turned-Sith-turned-Jedi would appear in Disney’s newly-established canon, and Reeves has always been a popular choice to bring the character to life.
Revan, the lead character of the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic game in Star Wars Legends was also the hero of Star Wars Legends. After leaving the Order of the Jedi Knights, Revan became a Sith Lord. This Sith Empire stood in opposition to the Jedi and Republic. Revan was retrained by the Jedi after he suffered from amnesia. He fought the Sith empire and destroyed it.
Revan’s appearance in “The Acolyte” is a subject of speculation, but there’s one problem. It is set thousands of year before High Republic and Disney+. His story occurs during the Old Republic. As it stands now, this character is not canon. This means that Lucasfilm has the option to change things and integrate him into the High Republic period if he appears in “The Acolyte.” Although this decision may upset some “Star Wars,” fans would be delighted to finally see Revan live on screen. If Lucasfilm chose Reeves to play Revan, they would certainly please many fans. This is speculation but, with “The Acolyte”, which depicts the rise of Sith as a whole, who better to have than Darth Revan, the Dark Lord of Sith?
