Star Wars: The Acolyte premiered on Disney Plus on June 4, 2024, and fans want to know whether Darth Raven appears in the latest TV entry in the Star Wars franchise. Rumors have circulated at least since 2021 that the iconic Sith Lord might appear in The Acolyte.
Revan was initially an important part of the Star Wars continuity, appearing in comics, video games, and books. However, he became part of the Star Wars Legends alongside most of the Expanded Universe in 2014. Things changed again in 2019 when he was officially brought back into canon with the release of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker: The Visual Dictionary. Due to his prominence in the Legends material, viewers are wondering whether they will see this fan-favorite character in The Acolyte.
Here is everything what we have discovered on whether Revan appears in Star Wars: The Acolyte.
Does Darth Revan Appear in Star Wars: The Acolyte?
No, Revan doesn’t appear in Star Wars: The Acolyte.
The series takes place about a hundred years before the events of Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace (1999), during the High Republic era (500 BBY—100 BBY). In contrast, according to the Legends, Revan was born in 3994 BBY. He lived for several hundred years, before being captured in 3642 BBY following a confrontation with the Sith Emperor’s Imperial strike team, which led to the events of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic.

Revan had led an unusual life and was trained by both the Jedi and the Sith. Before the events of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, his mind was splintered when he tried to become one with the Force due to the torture he endured from the Emperor. Revan survived his death and decided to put an end to the Emperor’s reign. However, his actions eventually prompted the Republic to join forces with the Empire to bring him down. In 3637 BBY, the two halves of Revan’s mind became whole again. Later, he helped in the efforts to defeat the Emperor and was finally able to merge with the Force.
Despite his passing, his legacy survived the ravages of time. So, while he will probably not appear in person in The Acolyte, his name might be mentioned in the series.
