I don’t think the Revan event will be a Hero’s Journey. Why? (Beware slight Kotor spoilers).
Ok so... I get that we have 5 OR toons in the game right now. But come on, think about it. What do Mission and Zaalbar add towards Revan’s Hero Journey? But more specifically - what do they add that is somehow more significant than say... Carth and Juhanni?
The toons we have right now just don’t make sense to me at all. In the Journey, in my opinion, a must-have battle should be Revan, Jolee and Juhanni vs Bastilla. But we don’t have a base Revan, nor do we have Juhanni. This was a pretty major plot moment that should be the second to last fight before Malak.
I don’t think a new raid would make sense either since the devs are still balancing the sith raid. Plus, the difficulty spike would be absolutely insane if it were made harder than STR.
A new Legendary event might be plausible depending on the toons you need. In the case of GMY you didn’t need the opposite faction to unlock him.
In my personal opinion, I think Revan will be a game changer. A whole new type of event being created just for him (at least for right now). This, to me, makes the most sense out of all the options. Revan is a Star Wars legend and he should be treated as the god that he is. (At least until they finally add Jedi Luke and everything will go out the window).

Of course, there is always the possibility of something new entirely. I think an interesting idea would be a "personal raid", working like normal raids but each player on their own. It would reward well-developed rosters while being independent on the guild.
There is something odd with the hero journey.
The hero journey require some ‘basic’ character to develope. If Jedi Revan is this basic character, than the next step is Sith Revan.
But if in CLS and JTL HJ they use the characters who helps them along the way, reproducing the story, that in the case of Revan on his way to the dark side we do not know who was along with him (well, may be except Malak). Introduced OR toons represent the way back from sith to SL Revan, which have no sense as we do not have ‘basic’ character.
So, I reaaaally doubt it will be HJ
Do mission and zaalbar add more than carth and juhanni? Probably not, but they add enough.
However not having Revan already in the game denies current heroes journeys with luke farmboy and scavenger rey. If that thing is considered as condition, we don't have it
Unless they throw a complete curve ball and give us Jedi Malak AND Jedi Revan and use them for a HJ/Hero’s Downfall with just the 2 of them activating the Star Maps and at the end we unlock Darth Revan and Darth Malak. But that just sounds way too weird and more like wish fulfillment.
You also have the Tarentatek there so yeah, haha. It’s a head-scratcher.
Fair play, haha. I almost always saved her. I may think like a Sith sometimes but I’m always a Jedi at heart...
Also yeah you’re right. With no base Revan it seems overwhelmingly unlikely regardless.
At this point, anything could happen.
I remember I killed her the first time I played through the game. It wasn't until later after having an empty companion slot the whole game, that I realized you could save her.
If jedi revan is a raid reward but only good but not amazing (as a setup for a later hero's fall or journey) the raid difficulty could be more than haat but less than hstr. But if he's meta changing, then likely the raid would be hard.
1) Juhani was an optional character, so she is not integral.
2) Carth could easily be introduced like R2 or BB8 as an event character needed to unlock the Hero's Journey character.
3) Canderous would be nice, but isn't necessary.
They made the Sith raid a lot easier and I'm betting its to facilitate more guilds getting Treya. No reason for that unless they have a new super hard raid. Or they know she's going to be needed.
Yeah.. I’ve saved Juhanni so many times that I legit forgot she was optional. Feel so dumb for forgetting that, haha. But, I will stand by saying that having her with Revan and Jolee makes the Bastilla fight so much better and more impactful. Since she herself also fell to the dark side and was brought back.
Maybe with Canderous they could add a Mandalorian faction with the Deathwatch characters from Clone Wars as well as Black Saber Maul.
This way doesn't really work with the storyline though. During the Sith Triumvirate's time, Revan was imprisoned by the Emperor. The only ones that had met Revan were HK and Traya, but Traya was Jedi at the time.
I think we're most likely looking at a new type of event. Most events don't get a fancy video teaser, so this one's obviously special
you are slightly off. Revan was captured and drugged by some other Sith lady. Surik found and freed him, and then he got captured by the Emperor. And Surik is killed by Emperor
My bad, was going by memory. Haven't read the book in quite a while now haha
They aren't exactly strict with timelines when it comes to legendary events. I'm pretty sure that Gar Saxon, Range trooper, and many more had nothing to do with R2 for his legendary. Don't get me wrong I would love a new type of event. But I think the people panic farming old Republic chars could be in for a surprise.
A new TB map however could be very lucrative to CG it would move the goal posts on GP which really takes lots of resources to move as a guild. It would also give them a chance to update what is otherwise stale content and incorporate more g12.5+ and 6e mods into the game.
I think they hit us with the new map in October and then hit us with scoundrels as a panic farm early November.
Bear in mind that the road ahead pertains to the whole quarter. If the release is meant for December, there is just enough time for a panic farm...
Yeah but then they wouldn't be showing their hand this early. The timing is off. Clearly this is coming soon. All the whales already have these guys 7* and nobody else is even close so if they run and hero type event for this any time within the next month financially it would flop. If they are giving us a hint for these guys now this isn't a thanksgiving event.
Hero fading last, it’s clearly intentional
Except Hero's Journey tend to follow the lore provided in the events. The OR toons we have were not in anyway part of Revan's fall to the Dark Side which came prior to him meeting any of those toons (other than Bastila)
I think it's still possible. According to the panic farm calculator, one month is bad but two are fine with not too high crystal investment, provided you unlocked the OR marquees. By drumming up the hype now, they could be making sure that people gain sufficient interest and get close enough to give it a shot. And if they give us just a bit less time than would be convenient, the money will roll in.
All that being said, they might have created a new type of event, or put him in some existing structure. I really don't know... But my guess is that I'll know very soon.
The problem is that a legendary doesn't really fit either. We usually use an enemy faction to unlock, which in this case would be Mandalorians. And we don't have the tag yet, despite there being three to five (depending whether you count the Fetts) characters already.
