TOPIC: Pre-Fall Revan Cosplay

Hello everyone!

Just thought I'd share a couple images of my pre-fall to the dark side Revan cosplay, complete with my SaberForge Fallen 12W Purple saber!

So before I say anything else, here they are!

Revan Meditating

Death Stare

Ready for Battle

Rally the troops

March towards victory

I took inspiration from the Knights of the Old Republic comics, some really awesome fan art found around the internet, and a few other sources. In the KotOR comic the blade Revan has is a blue-purple color. Now that the Indigo color is out, I plan on ordering a new LED with quick connects because it will better match the comics. I also plan on ordering a Red and Blue LED so I can customize which Revan I am portraying.

I didn't want to do the typical Darth Revan look because it's everywhere (even though I'm working my way towards my own Darth Revan costume in the near future lol). I've still got some details to add, but it's more or less complete. I wore this costume to Celebration Anaheim and Comic-Con San Diego 2015.

So what do you think? Go easy on me .

That's pretty legit. Where'd you get the mask at if you don't mind me asking?

Thanks! I'm really proud of how everything came together, despite it being my first real cosplay lol.

I ordered it from Mynock's Den. He's a really cool guy and makes some amazing stuff. Check out his website Mynock's Den and send him an email.

Saw your photoshoot on Instagram man... Very sick indeed!

Thanks!! I really like your Revan stuff too, it's really unique and all around awesome. And your saber spinning clips are great too. I'm still a complete noob at that, but I'm learning a few things!

Great costume! While it is nice to see how close you can get to the look of a known character, I think there is just as much value in putting one's own mark on it. You go man!

Thanks! I agree, it's really refreshing to see something different than the usual when it comes to certain characters. With pre-fall Revan there's lots of freedom too. There are versions depicting him wearing basically "standard" Jedi robes, KotOR style robes, and armor that is very similar to his Darth Revan armor, along with some others. So I just pick and chose what I liked from each look, added his signature mask, and chose my favorite lightsaber color he used before his fall.

Only thing that gets me now is everyone who knows nothing of Revan thinks I'm dressed as Kylo Ren, or as many people have said "the NEW guy from the movie" lol.

Here's a few more from Celebration Anaheim and SDCC15:

With Star-Lord

Training with a new Master

My Twin

Waiting in line

Dude seriously with the Kylo Ren references... It's like dude did you even watch the trailer?

Seriously lol, I guess I shouldn't expect everyone to know about KotOR and Revan but I feel like the ratio of people who know vs people who don't should be a little better than 40/60. So many casual fans, not enough super nerds!

really fantastic revan cosplay man and its sad people mistake you for kylo ren when you are revan before the fall of the darkside
Love it (played kotor 2 and kotor when i was 14-15)

I missed my chance to go out and about in my cosplay this year and get a lot of good photos... spent all spring/summer working on it, perfecting it, and then... bam. SLCC comes along, and family issues rise out of the ground, and I miss it. SO! I have to live vicariously through other photos... until next spring. Hopefully I can make FanX this year... that'd be nice.

That being said, love your cosplay, very well done, and awesome pictures. One day, I'll get to share my own... lol

Thanks! Really glad you like it!

lol, it doesn't really bother me that much. But I do think it's weird considering how popular the KotOR games are with SW fans. Especially with SWTOR basically picking up from where they left off, you'd think more people would be aware. It does let me educate a few people about the character and I get to suggest they pick up a copy of the games to play. So that's always good.

I've only just started going to conventions and I am addicted to them so badly! It's so much fun to take pictures with random people who I've never met, especially with kids because they get so excited about the costumes and especially the lightsabers. When I press the ignition button and the sound and LED turns on, even adults get all excited about it haha. I can't tell you how many times people have asked about the sabers, and I always give SF a huge recommendation of course .

I will say, the smaller-medium sized cons are sometimes better because you can actually maneuver through people. SDCC was really cool, but there were so many people that it was overwhelming. If I had gone all 4 days instead of just 2, it might have been enough to see everything. But I did have a lot of fun, which is what is most important.

My favorite:

to the DeLorean!
