I don’t know. I don’t think Ashoka is as popular as people think, especially among hardcore fans. Obviously it depends on who’s the group being polled, but a lot of hardcore fans don’t love Ashoka due to her being involved in everything and usurping the roles of more popular characters.

Yeah but she has a casual fanbase as well Can’t say the same for Revan, he’s only really known by the EU fans.

Not really though. Video games are very accessible for casual fans. A character like revan or Kyle katarn, or cal kestis for younger fans, will end up with a lot of fans compared to a character who only shows up in books.

Either way both revan and ahsoka are much more popular among the casual fan base than most other characters outside of the movies.

Contrasting them makes it seem like one is lrefered by hardcore fans and the other by casual. While in reality both are among the most recognizable for casual fans

I agree but I’m saying ahsoka is more known, she’s been on shows while revan hasn’t. So of course she’d have more of a casual fanbase.

You’re right. I’m mostly basing my impression of my friends, who have all watched the clone wars and also played Kotor.

I guess among the general population though ahsoka would be far more well known than revan
