"Revan was power. It was like staring into the heart of the Force. Even then, you would see the Jedi he would slay etched in his soul. Revan's choices were always his own; it was not teachings or circumstance or example. It was him. A difference between a fall and a sacrifice is sometimes difficult, but I feel that Revan understood that difference more than anyone knew. The galaxy would have fallen had Revan not gone to war. Perhaps he became the Dark Lord out of necessity; to prevent a greater evil. And there is something that the Council might never understand: That perhaps Revan never fell." - Kreia
