Revan

Revan is an ancient Jedi who is the ancestor of the Skywalker family.

About him
An exceedingly powerful Jedi who lived several thousand years ago, Revan was, at different times in his life, a Jedi, a Sith lord known as Darth Revan, and a Jedi once more. He was the one who defeated the evil Sith lord Darth Malak, his former apprentice, killing him aboard the Star Forge in a brutal lightsaber duel. He married his fellow Jedi Bastila Shan, the woman responsible for his redemption. They had two children, an adoptive Rutian (blue) Twi'lek daughter named Mission, who had helped them on the mission to stop Malak, and a human son of their own named Vaner, a rearranging of his own name. Revan was tall and fair-skinned, with long, dark-brown hair and brown eyes. When he was first retrained, he was unaware of who he had once been, and went under the assumed name of Tanis Skywalker. After years of battling the Sith and defeating the ruler of the true Sith empire, he settled with his family on Dantooine, where he became the first of a long line of Jedi known as Jedi Lords, who were Jedi that ruled planets. Eventually, one of his grandsons by Vaner took the name Skywalker and became the ancestor of Anakin Skywalker, the Jedi's chosen one and emperor of the Galactic Empire.
