The fact Disney hasn't shut down The Old Republic mmorpg gives me the liberty to say it still counts as canon in my book.

I would really dig a 6" Revan for sure, granted it's super unlikely. Malak would also be nice, we'd get the master and his friend/apprentice/usurper.

That's precisely why I'm not too bothered about any new "official" timeline. As far as I can figure, the only way KotOR could be totally eliminated is if one of the new movies somehow entirely contradict Jedi or Sith lore that was established in those games. I'm not even sure if it's possible, my memory regarding what was covered in those games is now foggy (which means it's time for another playthrough) but that's the only way I could see.

So basically, they're head canon. Honestly, my love of Star Wars stems mostly from the games and a few comics and novels. The movies make up a comparatively small portion of my fandom for the franchise.

And you know what, whether the character was intended to be or not, I like to think Kylo Ren's design is a nod to Revan. That's good enough for me, at the moment anyway. For that reason, I'm looking forward to an action figure of that character.
