What If Malak Doesn't Betray Darth Revan? Star Wars KOTOR #shorts

Welcome Loreseekers!
What if Darth Malak decided not to betray his master Darth Revan? Would Revan take Bastila as his apprentice or kill her? What would he do with Malak? Also Sion and Nihilus would need to be dealt with amongst the growing presence of the Sith Empire led by Lord Vitiate.

Appreciate TheUtahRanger for this idea!

This is super interesting. Revan and the Exile teaming up again to beat the true Sith would be cool, but there’s a different twist if she is on the dark side. Revan vs Nihilus would be interesting to see

Darth Sion would likely not have betrayed Revan. He expressed regret when he speaks of Revan to Meetra Surik, telling her that Revan turning on his empire dashed the Sith’s chance at an empire. He likely would have served Revan.

I feel like Revan would probably end up corrupting Bastila instead of killing her. He wanted to use every tool he could against the True Sith, and Bastila’s Battle Meditation would come in pretty handy.

A lot to cover in 60 seconds. Would Revan kill Bastila or take her as an apprentice over Malak? If so what happens to Meetra Surik, Sion and Nihilus. I think this is a pretty good way to get all parts moving to face the True Sith empire. What do you think?

[CrispyBacon]

The What Ifs are great. This would be a crazy game.

[madestmadhatter]

No, Revan was a Sith, but he was never a true Sith, I think he would value a stable chain of command more than a proper Sith apprentice, also meetra Surik in would have absolutely died at Mallak's hands IF he could have found her, like without Traya she never would have been found or survived.

Also Revan absolutely would have corrupted Bastila she's way more valuable as a pawn than dead, and he knows it, I think that's why they were let on his ship. Also, also, Revan didn't want to over use the star forge, he would've built up the Republic for war, not push out an infinite army.

[I_am_a_cat_]

Revan having both bastilla and the exile on his side would make him truly invincible, especially if he had the star forge under his control. I'd love to see a comic or something that has an alternate story like this.

Also I'd like to believe he'd capture bastilla and corrupt her to the dark side, seeing how powerful her battle meditation is.
Also man, the jedi council was so dumb to send Padawans and knights against f-king Darth Revan. So stupid.

[tjhernandez]

I assume Kreia, the remaining Jedi in hiding and Atris all join Revan as well?

[alcssmith]

I love this new what if series, keep this up!

[ra.n]

I doubt Meetra would reconnect herself to The Force considering that her actions during the aftermath of Malachor V was the most un-sith-like thing a jedi can do .
Also I would assume Kreia would meet her first .

[tjshea]

Surprised I didn't see more comments mentioning this (only saw 1).

Meetra was only reconnected to The Force with the assistance of Kreia, who sought the Exile out as part of her revenge scheme against Nihilus and Sion and to destroy The Force... or heal the Malachor would (depending on interpretation)

So, considering Revan would still lead the Sith Empire in this scenario, it seems like the Sith Apprentice Malak would undoubtedly win with ease.

fun fact: me and malak profited from the iraq war

[xeronix]

love this, u should do longer videos man

[ArteriusSaren]

Where is not rule of two at the time. Revan would gather as much help as he can, since he and Malak saw that Vitiate capable of. He made Vitiate to struggle after only several days of the rest after being freed from prison. Imagine that he can do with Surik, Malak, Scion and Nihilus at his side.

[thepriorstone]

I think Kreia would’ve headed the Trayus academy and serve Revan loyally, maybe she’d still take Nihilus as her apprentice

[kurtshirvinski]

Sometimes I wonder if free speech is more of a curse than a blessing. I kid but, the idea sounds "cool" though Meetra wouldn't fall to the dark side and Sion would've served Revan. I could see Revan replacing Malak with Sion and then having to team up with Meetra Surik and her Jedi remnants to defeat Nihilius once his hunger becomes too powerful. I think out of necessity Meetra would join Revan on his conquest into Sith space too

[Aztechaemenid]

Ehhhh...I have my doubt about The Exile Meetra being able to beat Malak, EU canon wise that is. Her greatest triumphs were against the Triumvirate, but none of them had the martial capability that Malak had. And Malak arguably matched them all individually in strength in the Force. That being said, still a cool alternate tale.

[fozzy]

Would the Triumvirate not end up serving Revan, rather than opposing him in an uprising?

[BerserkerX]

Saying Malak loses to Surik and Sion or Nihilis is like saying Count Dooku loses to Ventress, Oppress or Maul. No chance.

[starwarsfan]

Okay but by this point wasnt meetra still cut off from the force? Whats she gonna do, make malaak eat a thermal detonator?
