Customizable character canonization rant moved here:

There have been 4 Star Wars games where you could customize the character you play. In the earliest one, “Rebel Assault”, you pretty much could only go male or female. In Jedi Academy, you could be male or female (with a few different appearance options) and even alien! The KotOR games you could male or female with a dozen or so appearance options for either gender (you’ve got to be a consistent species so programmers don’t have to deal with the exponential amount of additional variables required).

When one of these characters gets canonized, it takes away from the game you play because you know that the variation you may be playing couldn’t have happened. ~Nebulan and I discussed these things, I like the idea of having a consistence but I understand and appreciate her point of view mentioned in the previous sentence. I felt that too when I learned in the midst of this project that the book “Abyss” finalized Jaden’s appearance as a human male with brown hair (being male and human had been canonized elsewhere). So the guys that had black hair and blond hair are no longer possible, apparently. (although I thought that one avatar appeared to have reddish hair. . . ) Rookie One became male in the game’s sequel which had cinematics and an actor, so the female option in the previous game has been nulled.

Revan and Exile still do not have canon appearances, although Exile has had a Miniature released, so if you’re familiar with the texture names for the different heads, I’m thinking that AF03, CF01, and HF01 (which is the one I used), are good for the fig, and even possibly BF03 and CF05 if you blame it on lighting. Revan, they’ve gone through a lot of effort to keep his appearance unknown, and I appreciate that. I'm expecting the guy under the hood to be a fair-skinned, fair haired dude with acne and an allergy to the sun, and possibly nerdy glasses... but I chose one of the two Revans I felt was the most cliché. (the other one is the guy who all the floating-half-dead-guys look like)

Hey, your Exile is wearing the same armor that mine is wearing in the game right now! It's good stuff.
