Yup. And I think we might see or hear about Revan sooner than later, maybe even in Star Wars: Rebels.

I can understand that. But I feel like we’ll see more Legends-characters eventually, but only one at a time and somehow introduced as a fans-choice figure. I think Disney could make some money of EU-fans by maybe introducing a Legends-miniseries. You don’t even need to make them canon again, just put a Legends-sticker on the box.

It might not happen soon but I think eventually Disney would want to cash in on diehard EU-fans as well. Revan selling like hotcakes might help with that.

Oh yeah I forgot about that. That makes it even easier, since you already have the character introduced. Just make the three Darth Bane-books canon again and that's that. They even involve Revan and the legends of the Great Hyperspace War in some form; you could build up on that.
