#starwars #theoldrepublic #starwarsreactions #reactionvideo - Krátké a kreslené filmy
I love how "The Rule of Two" is now known to most Star Wars fans and seeing casual fans react to the armies of Sith from the Old Republic. This just proves how successful an Old Republic Trilogy or show could be. The Old Republic era isn't just for the hardcore fans anymore, even casual fans know Sith like Darth Malgus now. So awesome.
i've been wanting a Darth Bane movie-trilogy for years! the very birth of The Rule of Two! :D
@@ecMonify or a story about Revan he is by far one of the most interesting Characters
@@ZhonySenku one of the lamest
@@twentyeightstabwounds7761 for u maybe ^^ i played swtor and everything around Revan was the most interesting think
@@twentyeightstabwounds7761 How is Revan lame? He is the only known jedi aside from Anakin to go full darkside and return to the light. His adventures into the unkown region of space that changed him is so interesting by itself.
Just his involment in the mandalorian wars would be a epic movie
The lightsaber choreography in these is just out of this world and something people really want to see them transfer to live action.
Totally agree!
@@AnotherStarWarsPodcast to answer your question No the Storm Troopers are all Human beings The Siths are Revenites
@@AnotherStarWarsPodcast btw Satale Shan is Related to Darth Reven n Bastila Shan the in game trailer are pretty bad ass too
The best part about the fight coreography in these is that it feels real, that if the strikes weren't blocked, they'd hit the person, because they're not aiming for the sword.
@@shadowofsteel Exactly I never understood why this can be so good and the million dollar movies recently are awful. They should really consult the people who make these because they are amazing. And, as you say it feels real but is fluid and well choreographed. Its annoying to see how much work Christian and Ewan put into their final fight in the prequels, to then see these awkward baseball swings that make it look like the first take with no choreography.
When she catches the lightsaber blade she's basically using the force to absorb the energy from it to stop it cutting her. It's basically the same power Yoda uses to absorb Dooku and Palpatine's lightining, just even more impressive. She's the only Jedi known to be able to do it as far as I know, you can tell it's using up all of her concentration
It’s called tutaminis btw 😊
One of the rarest to be sure but there are others like :
Battle meditation, pyromancy, light force lightning and mechu-deru, trakata ( not a force power, more like saber style)( not sure about bm, it’s just the most op one of the lot in term of utility)
Unfortunately Yoda catching Palpatine’s lightning is even more impressive than Satele catching this lightsaber. Palpatine’s lightning is unbelievably powerful and is known to bend lightsaber blades.
Basically it’s emitting vastly incomprehensible amounts of energy even more than what a lightsaber is dishing out.
@@Jedilord882 bends lightsaber blades except when Mace was blocking it? I know Palpatines lightning was powerful but not that much, certainly not at the time period given. Maybe by the time of ROTJ or the comics.
@@charlielynch3916 It bends the lightsaber blades of anybody who can’t use tutaminis in conjunction with their blade. Mace Windu can use tutaminis in conjunction with his lightsaber to absorb Palpatine’s lightning (this is why it’s such a visible struggle), and Yoda (vastly more skilled in Tutaminis) just uses his hands to absorb the lightning lol
@@Jedilord882 lol
Swtor is basically a single player game that you can play with friends. The whole game is story driven you would probably really enjoy playing the game for that alone.
I'm going to buy it for sure! - Matt
@@AnotherStarWarsPodcast The game is free to play but I would definitely recommend subscribing to it for a while so that you can have all of the available expansions and also have the ability to gain Cartel Coins each month.
It also have pvp too
@@countdrake4576 yeah that is what I do subbing is the best way to play it... well actually what I would do is play it for free get a taste of it, if you like the free version sub because the subbed version is while the same just so much easier not to have to worry about stuff and the Cartel coins can help buy the visual upgrades to make your char how you want them. (know this is old but for anyone watching who is considering)
@@AnotherStarWarsPodcast bruhhhh "buy"
The Deceived cinematic using the Sacking of Coruscant as a backdrop is one of my favorite bits of Star Wars content. The implications are so crazy, it's so good.
The novel of the same name is really good too
So this is the Old Republic Era and it takes place roughly 3600 years before the movies that we have now. Yoda is 900 years old when he dies so it is way before his time. The rule of two has also been around for roughly 1000 years before the movies we have so its way before then. It's a cool time period and there is so much rich lore, cool sith and awesome jedi in the form of books games and comics. I wish that Disney developed storylines about this. I loved your reaction video :) You should definitely try the games they changed the way I viewed Star Wars. I recommend starting with Knights of the Old Republic and then Knights of the Old Republic 2 Sith Lords. Then play the online game the old republic which is online and still very active to this day. I believe they are all available on steam.
Dope, thanks! Glad you enjoyed... Should I stream the gameplay? - Matt
@@AnotherStarWarsPodcast By order of the Emperor, he hereby agrees to this decision and verily says unto you... dew it!
Either it'll be stream on Twitch or CZcams. The choice is up to you.
The Knight of the Old Republic games are amazing in their setting and storytelling with some of the most interesting characters in the Star Wars (legends) universe. The MMO basically copied the look and style of the main antagonists from the first Kotor and changed their names. It is an MMO after all and the writing, esp. in the early days of the MMO, is quite derivative of Kotor and other Star Wars content. With the DLC's from Knights of the Fallen Empire and forward the writing (and cinematics in particular) got a lot more interesting.
@@AnotherStarWarsPodcast
While sub makes thing easier quite a bit (1m credit cap is pain in...) Original game is F2P for base game + 1st two expansions
Base game has 8 story lines 4 for each side and all of them can be played Light, Dark or neutral
REPUBLIC:
Jedi knight - classic hero story
Jedi consular - healing and negotiations that aren't short
Smuggler - from Han Solo through Lando Calrisian to Talon Karrde
(+at least 1 romancable/flirtable npc on most of planets)
Trooper - story of your own Wedge Antilles from X-wing books, with a bit of early Comander Shepard
EMPIRE:
Sith warrior - your path to Greatnes (feels great to go both dark and light)
Sith inquisitor - slave answering to destiny's calling of "Unlimited Power"
Imperial agent - James Bond, Jason Bourne and Etan Hunt, Only you can decide on whose side are you
(Most of alternate endings based on number of people you canside with by the end)
Bounty hunter - Blaze of guns, Sound of carbonite freezer, Weight of coin in your pocket and Sweet taste of revenge, all encompassed with the halo of eternal fame or infame
(completion of all 8 gives so much insight for later expansions from illum onward, like ariving at command table at Ilum where you can see NPC's from all classes (like jedi meeting General who is main quest giver of trooper))
@@AnotherStarWarsPodcast Do the Galatic Timeline its bascially an Histroy lesson Darth Malgus is the OG Darth Vader of The Old Republic the 2nd Strongest former Sith Lord
When the trailers are better then the sequels
hahah so true
Everything is better than those god-awful sequels. Watching paint dry is better than those Disney-corrupted movies
Can't expect everything to be the same for hundreds of years
The trailers actually showcase the 30 years war between the Republic and the Empire, when the Empire returned to the galaxy in force after building their strength for a thousand years under the Sith Emperor. Star Wars: The Old Republic MMO takes place after these events (mainly the Sacking of Coruscant, the third trailer), during the times of a peace treaty between the two. Personally, the Old Republic era is my favorite Star Wars lore. It's so rich and bountiful in everything we love about Star Wars. It's basically Star Wars on crack. This time period showcases two of my favorite Sith in Star Wars, the Sith Emperor and Darth Malgus. Darth Malgus is the definition of a Sith, and the Sith Emperor is the end-goal any Sith would want to become, so much so that not even Palpatine was able to accomplish what he did. And Darth Malgus... As a medieval enthusiast, I absolutely love everything about these trailers when it comes to Malgus. He shows a great, realistic balance of grounded combat and the type of combat a superhuman would be capable of, and this is only elevated by the fact of what Malgus is capable of. He's a very large man, and the more scary part is that he is unnaturally agile for his size. His swings are so powerful that he can off-balance his opponents, and as we've seen in these trailers he's a very cunning fighter, willing to apply unorthodox tactics mid-fight to gain an edge over his opponents. In the Expanded Universe, it was even said that Emperor Palpatine had Darth Vader study manuscripts written by Darth Malgus himself to help train him.
Loved your reactions to these trailers, if you haven't yet, the order you would want to play the Old Republic era games would be Knights of the Old Republic, Knights of the Old Republic II, then Star Wars: The Old Republic. The first two take place a few hundred years prior to Star Wars: The Old Republic, and as others have mentioned in the comments, Star Wars: The Old Republic may be an MMO, but it's probably the most story-focused, single-player MMO out there. You basically don't even have to grind for levels to continue the story, and everything in the game is voice acted, which is lovely.
Literally everybody when Malgus returned: "Not this guy again, how is he still not defeated?"
Me: "It was actually quite simple."
Yeah Malgus simply doing a Darth Sion sorta xD
Breaking News: Man Literally Too Angry to Die
That red guy is actually a Sith Pureblood from the planet Korriban. They were the original inhabitants of the planet, but during the time of the Clone Wars they were extinct and the planet become a pilgrimage to Dark Side users
It's for any PC (older ones need to set to lower graphic, my mediocre 2 years old PC runs it fine), MMO so others players present when you play it,
the game graphic is still good enough to convey the environment, the vibe for all places. Insanly good stories, ideas, music, settings, world.
FREE to play (the first 100-200+ hours!!!!!!), then a few bucks for the expansions.
Each of the 8 class have own storyline and quests, the game is pure lore. Every quest, every enemy, every location shows a new thing. Just pure Star Wars.
Each quest shows a new ambient, side of this world, each creature, character or location you meet gets a Codex entry to read........
Not to mention that 4 classes are for Imperial side, this world this time period is shown from both perspective, and played by you as well.
Sidenote: the 4th and 5th videos are the introduction to a new mysterious empire that attacks both Republic (Jedi) and Empire (Siths) with an unknown powerful being ruling it. The twins and the girl are his sons/daughter, the female knight is his wife....
and the 6th for the newest expansion introduced a few days ago, it seems Malgus might look for those rejected by Sith and by the Jedi...
I intentionally didn't said anything too precise, you will find out ingame.
Wow sounds awesome. Unfortunately I don't have a PC. Looks like I may have to get one lol
@@AnotherStarWarsPodcast Workaround is to look someone else's playthrough on CZcams , who's commentary, play style suits you. Then grab popcorn. (Star Wars The Old Republic playthrough). ;)
The game is for sure worth it, if you do the 8 main stories and the expansion on one light/dark side character each that is 500 hours at least, realistically more like 800 without doing any side missions at all. The old republic universe is very expansive too, lots of jedi, lots of sith, lots of characters in general on a lot of planets with long, interconnected stories. After spending some time in that universe the “current” time Star Wars just feels small and limited, a small world with only very few characters and stories that get regurgitated over and over again.
The game was made by many of the same people that did KOTOR and ME1&2, a lot of the team was moved to SWTOR by Bioware after ME2 which screwed ME3 a bit, but means that SWTORs writing, storytelling and world creation is great.
Main storylines are Jedi Knight and Sith Warrior, would start with one of those. Dark side is definitely more fun in the game though
Awesome! I'll definitely check it out.
Iirc, the Twins in the Sacrifice trailer and the girl in the Betrayed trailer aren't from either Sith or Jedi. They are a third faction, thus the Yellow lightsaber. They tap into all that is Force, be it good, bad, and the between. They were such a menace that both Jedi and Sith had to have a temporary truce to fight against them.
We've been saying this since these were released 10+ yrs ago. Instead they make all the animated stuff targeted for teens.
You are right. This is simply before the rule of 2. Back then there was armies on each side fighting for the light or the dark.
"That guy was a sith the whole time?..."
Me: Oh, my dude, if only you knew...
lol
These trailers weren't released in order. Deceived was released in 2009, Hope in 2010, etc. The MMO plays through these stories in a way. Most of these set up a expansion for the MMO.
For real... Sacrifice told a more engrossing story in four minutes than all three sequels put together.
These were basically about a million dollars a minute to make back when the SWTOR mmo game was being made.
It could still be done. The initial investment would be huge, of course, but once they have a good library of 3d models, motion capture, facial expressions, textures, etc., they could start generating content faster and reduce the cost per minute by a lot. Of course, you'd still need a robust team of artists, directors, writers, and so on to keep the quality up over time, which adds overhead, but if they churn out quality like these cinematics on a regular basis, or even half as good, then fans would go nuts for it. I for one would subscribe to a Star Wars streaming service at almost any monthly price for it.
So the MMORPG Star Wars: The Old Republic is still going yet to this day and is Free to Play on PC.
Since I didn't see anyone answer your questions here you go:
1) SW:TOR is set 3640 years before the Battle of Yavin (The first Death Star blowing up), or 3599 years before Anakin Skywalker (Darth Vader) was born
2) The Sith Brotherhood is a religion so simply using the Dark side of the force does not make someone Sith. There are Dark Jedi (Jedi who 'fell from the light') who use the Dark Side but don't follow the teaching of the Sith. There are Dark Force Users (people who were not trained as Jedi or Sith) like the Night Sisters of Dathomire, the Inquisitors, Starkiller, and The Emperor's Hand (Mara Jade). There are Gray Jedi who use both the light and dark side but do not commit to either side.
3) The Jedi Order are also a religion, so simply using the light side of the force does not make one a Jedi. There are Lightside or Shining Sith, who discovered the light side can be more powerful than the dark and changed to the light. There are lightside force users like the Witches of Dathomire. And as mentioned before, Gray Jedi.
4) The "Rule of Two" was established by the Sith 1000 years before the Battle of Yavin. There is a whole history of who suggested it, who implimented it and how it pretty much lead to the downfall of the Sith.
So, the Jedi used to allow their members to get married and have kids to other Jedi but that practice was stopped 4000 years before the Battle of Yavin or 1360 years before SW:TOR. Too many Jedi had fallen to the dark side or were manipulated by people who had captured or killed their families so it was decided attachment can lead one to passion and the dark side. Sith, however, encouraged their members to produce children as over time, they were producing stronger and stronger force users.
Finally, the Dark Side is easier to fall into and easier to grow more powerful, more quickly, than light side users. The feed back loop of negative emotions causes this. The angrier you are, the more hate and fear you feel, the more powerful your control of the dark side of the force is. But there is a price to pay and that is that your body is slowly damaged by the dark side power to the point that you have to maintain this rage or fear all the time just to maintain your life. This also causes mental health issues (obviously) and soon, your dark feelings and control of the force is no longer enough to keep your body functioning. The Emperor was in the last stages of his life at the time of the Battle of Endor and was hoping cloning could be used to keep himself alive (transfering his 'soul' or 'force ghost' into the clone). It was mentioned in books and comics and we saw it in the last SWs movie.
I love that the Sith Emperor, the Palpatine equivalent in the Rebellion era, and Malgus, the Vader equivalent, are not exactly on the same side even if they're both villains. The galaxy would have been screwed if they were together.
2:32 now that's how you do a proper spin move lol Book of Boba take notes please XD
The Mandalorians where Galatic Spartans back then
😅😅
I cannot agree more! The storytelling in these short videos is next level .
so well done!
Finally.... I someone as enthusiastic as I am for the whole old republic Era.... there is material for at least two trilogies even three ....
I still don't trust Disney enough to let them do anything with the old republic, leave it alone.
yeah it would be risky
The red headed mandalorian is Shea Vizla Mandalore the Avenger and one of my favorite mandalorians in all of star wars.
thanks for that!
The Republic soldiers aren't actually clones! They are elite soldiers trained to fight Siths, but they are normal people aside from that.
timeline: this was long before the rule of 2: around 4000 years before the phantom menace. The apprentice is Darth Malgus--see SW the complete Legends history for the complete timeline--they mention Malgus somewhere in it.
This is way before the rule of 2 around 1000 years before the rule of 2. And a few thousand years before the battle of yavin.
I liked that you actually reacted and didn’t just watch
This is the cinematics for the MMO on PC, its free to play, but much better if you subscribe lol
"Evil Red Guy" was Darth Vindikan, a Sith Pure Blood, master to the BEAST DARTH MALGUS.
@ 10:22 Tutaminis (Light side ability) is essentially a focused Force barrier.
Finally a reactor that watches the original awesome voice overs on Hope and Deceived. The newer versions are nowhere near as epic.
Highly recommend SW The Old Republic- the story lines for each class are really great
Grew up watching these and wish disney would stop messing around and do something like this
That would be amazing!
It would be best if disney didn't touch these. they'd ruin them
They would need someone who has knowledge of the games
Fun Fact For Malgus: He is stronger than Bane, better saber dueling, force power, and connection to the Dark side, Malgus also killed his love interest to be a stronger sith.
Play the SWTOR mmo if you want the full story behind these. While it's an mmo you can definitely enjoy it as a single player rpg with really solid in-game story telling.
Cool! I'll check it out. Thanks for watching!
-Matt
Evil Red Guy is actually a member of the Sith race, founders of the first Sith Empire 1000 years before what happens here in Old Republic.
oh cool! didn't know that
The old republic era is so cool. I love reading the books about what happened long before the movies. Highly recommend checking out some old republic books. As you see there were tons of Jedi and Sith at actual war. It was not until the Darth Bane trilogy that the Sith went underground. Also the audiobooks are so good. Check out the Darth bane trilogy if you want a great read and some Star Wars content.
not just the animation but it's motion capture
Yes, this is Darth Malgus the evil bald Sith. I agree this is a great representation of a true Sith. Great video. Never visited this channel before but nice stuff.
When a ten minute cinematic trailer tells more story than 6 hours of a sequel trilogy ya.
These cinematic films your watching are after KOTOR after Revan before the Star Wars Films
The Old Republic is available on steam of you don't want to go through their official websight.
Good to know!
Great video man. I really enjoyed the game when I played it. Was amazed at the quality of the graphics when these trailers dropped.
But that last one, I was watching it for the first time as well.
Glad you enjoyed! Totally agree with you. Quality graphics. I'll have to play the game now - Matt
These cinematics are better than episode 7-9
the rule of 2 wasn't referring to the amount of sith allowed by their society, it was bound to the master apprentice rules
...no they're not clones, they're regular soldiers. this is over 3000 years before then
Part of why the story of Old Republic looks so innovative and better is because they don't try to depict the Sith as just your run-of-the-mill cartoon evil, and they show a bit of the two sides of the coin. This is much more pronounced in-game, because the Empire is playable too, so they had to give Empire players also something to feel good about, whereas in the movies, the Sith are simply the evil antagonist and nothing more. In the game, arguably the Imperial storylines are even better than the Republic ones.
I know I'm almost a year late, and some people commented below on times, but Revan is an important figure in the Old Republic times (referenced heavily in Knights of the Old Republic RPG game), and this is 300 years after Revan.
Revan was a Jedi, and was the Supreme Commander of the Galactic Republic in the Mandalorian War in 3960 BBY.
So this game is around 3660, BBY.
The Rule of Two was set in place by Darth Bane in 1000 BBY.
To be honest, I'm not sure how Yoda would know there would be only two Sith at any given time, as the galaxy assumed all the Sith had been wiped out at the conclusion of the New Sith Wars. And this was the first confirmed sighting of a Sith that didn't result in all witnesses disappearing. (lightsabers leave distinctive burn patterns. A Jedi would recognize them)
Edit: Sith are not, by nature, evil. Sith are simply diametrically opposed to the Jedi in how they access The Force.
The Sith Code, learned by all Sith (Empire Force Users) in this game:
Peace is a lie, there is only Passion.
Through passion, I gain strength.
Through strength, I gain power.
Through power, I gain victory.
Through victory, my chains are broken.
The Force shall free me.
The Jedi believe true connection with the Force comes through peace and serenity in ones mind and spirit. The Sith believe that true connection comes through feeling powerful emotion. This, however, leads to why many Sith are evil. Negative emotions are far easier to hold onto than positive ones. It's so much easier to hold onto anger, hatred, rage, and the like (and to instill fear in others), than it is to hold onto joy, compassion, and love. And many Sith fall down the Power trap. They feel power, and they want more. It's the crippling downside of the Dark Side Darth Bane recognized, and why he set the Rule of Two in place.
Sith will constantly fight each other in a neverending struggle for more power, while Jedi work to support those around them. Bane recognized that several weaker Sith could take down a rival none of them could best alone, but then they'd fight amongst themselves until only one remains, far weaker than their predecessor. Thus, the Rule of Two. Only the stronger Sith would hold the power. If that proves to be the apprentice, then they deserve the title of Sith Lord more than their former master.
Even the "good" emotions lead to problems when they are used to feed the Force. Take Love, for instance. If you are feeding your power with Love, then what happens when you need more power? You become obsessed. Your Love becomes an all consuming passion. You would do *anything* for your Love, even kill by the thousands and millions to keep your Love safe. And what happens when your Love doesn't love you back, or loves another, or betrays you, or is killed? That Love turns into jealousy, hatred and rage. All of the other "good" emotions have similar problems when used to power the Force. Compassion? Again, what lengths will someone go to feed the hungry, heal the sick, house the poor? An army of Jedi all "robbing the rich to feed the poor" by Force will collapse society.
Jedi, with double light sabers are in the clone wars animated series, and the second and third movie there in the big battle scenes just some people in the background and the Temple guards
i will say i loved that you used the old voiced trailers the redone trailers they redubbed felt off. also Darth Malgus ftw! Malgus was in the first 3 trailers you see him young in return middle aged in hope and then older and more battle worn in deceived. and ultra battle worn in the final trailer
Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed!
You definitely do not need to play this game to appreciate that these videos are some of the best Star Wars content to ever be created. The directors who make the movies should hire these people to help them choreograph a fight. Live action is obviously more limited, but here is the starting point.
These fights were motion capture-based XD. So it started with live action :)
Hopefully someone told him that he needs a PC, not an XBox before he bought one, to play this game.
Malgus is such a beast
"They've been releasing these for a couple months now???" Lol... no my man, Bioware had been releasing them for over a decade.
If I remember correctly, Oday was like 900 years old. He was born right at the end of this conflict. I could be wrong though.
You are correct that Yoda is 900 years old in the OT, but these trailers are set 3,600 years before the prequels. Yoda's great-great-great-grandfather might have been born just at the end of this conflict.
Thank you for your reaction
Thank you for watching!
This is about 3700 years before the movies and about 300 years after Knights of the Old Republic
5000
Very different level of talent between Bioware writers and Lucasfilm. Theres a major misconception that game writing is of lesser quality than that of TV or Cinema.
Another misconception is that animation costs more and takes longer to produce.
Consider that the Clone wars TV show averaged about $1 mil per episode and Rebels 500k.
Blur (The studio that created the first 5 trailers) would produce each trailer at an average of say $600k+. Mandalorian and Kenobi were $15mil PER EPISODE.
With say an average episode length of 30mins you are looking at $500k per minute for current Disney live action. Where as Blur produced these cinematics at $150k+ per minute.
I can not speak for Blur's average production time on projects but I do 3D artwork myself and in that experience can tell you there is a lot of flexibility in 3D you simply cannot get in live action. It's just the Stigma of animation that keeps these kinds of projects and medium underfunded.
"Get a new Xbox and play these games" I cant
Watching these trailers really makes you wonder what went wrong in all the new movies
true
Nothing was wrong, historywise all of the knowledge from the old republic had been lost I'm guessing, there's a reason why the fighting style in the sequels is different from the prequels.
These cinematics are over a decade old, how can you be a Star Wars fans and not know about SWTOR?
In these cinematic, you see two battlemasters of the Jedi order be killed
I prefer these cinematics more than the sequels by far, true sequels needed more lightsaber fights
These CGI Video's are What the Sequels SHOULD and COULD Have been with better writers..My God no Question.
This is one of the things that I wish lucas made a film on like an old republic show or movie made by lucasfilms would have been fanominal
Way before the Rule of 2
Sith feed off their passions
I'm late to the party, but as to why they don't make an entire film like this, each one of those 4-5 minute videos takes 3 years to produce.
I'll explain, the cinematics of the last 2 expansions alone have more sense and action than the last 6 Disney Star Wars movies combined.
Not to mention that they are much better made.
The game SWTOR is so big and so rich on history and content, it really shows how mighty Sith was.
Sadly you need 72 years of play to see everything inside, every single frame i mean.
I play 12 years non-stop and i have seen only 25% of the game.
The good thing is that is not for childrens. It need THINKING to play it. Its not like other games just press buttons. Mechanics are really dificult to master in advanced level of play.
I'm PvP player and i enjoy every second of the game.
KOTOR you can play on xbox, but SWTOR is PC only i believe.
So Matt did you every play the game?
I have not because I don’t have a PC :(
Also, making a whole movie out of this is way too expensive to produce.
Please stop asking for Disney to make movies out of the Old Republic. This is the last bit of Star Wars that diehard fans have that isn't ruined by the mouse.
are these the 4k versions?
Doesn't look like it. They look so good upscaled.
Pc game intros don't come in "versions" they come scaled to your screen resolution when you play/record it. Heh
@@SansAziza I am it wasn’t long ago that the makers of the old Republic re-released the trainers in 4K, so yes they are literally different versions. I’m pretty sure the original videos were something like 720p or less.
The game is kind of meh now. But then I've played through it like a dozen times too. Its insanely easy now compared to its launch they really are pushing the group and expansion stuff so they want you to hit max level and endgame content ASAP.
Also Satele catching the Lightsaber with her hand is basically what Yoda did with Palpatine's force lightning in RoTS, absorbing energy with your hands, and a Lightsaber is an energy weapon
epic game
I know I'm 8 months late to this discussion at this time, but there are 100-1,284 hours of gameplay and content in SWTOR alone. They don't have to make movies, they did BETTER than that. Ah Bioware, how we miss you. Also, these animation projects take 1-2 years on average for a handful of minutes of footage. A movie would take a generation to produce in this style.
Have you played the game yet?
This is what Star Wars was before Disney, now look at what happened to it @AnotherStarWarsPodcast play the old games like Dark Forces Trilogy / Knights of the Old Republic Trilogy and read the old Canon Books, Disney calls them “legends” nowadays.
The rule of two was invented by Darth Bane what? 2500 years after the first trailer? The game is set about 3500 BBY. BBY being "Before the Battle of Yavin". To make that descriptor easier to understand to a layman. The Battle of Yavin was when the first Death Star was destroyed. So this game happenes three and a half thousand years before the Death Star is destroyed.
The rule of two was designed by Bane as an answer to the weakening of the Sith. Even in the first trailer you see Darth Malgus cut down his already weakened master. This was common among the Sith of the old republic who formed entire armies of Sith. The specific goal of the rule of two was to encourage power by preventing weak Sith from being able to group up against their masters. There would be one to have the power and only one to challenge them for it. No help.
No. The clones of the clone army were invented by the Kaminoans during the time of the prequels. Before the Clone Wars no such case of mass produced clones had ever been seen by the galaxy. If you were to make a clone it would be one at a time and of one person at a time. They were very rare. Having beaten every playable storyline in SWTOR I can personally only remember one clone in the entire game and it wasn't even alive. It was a body double a smuggler planned to use to fake his death. These men, and specifically the one you see save Satele in the first two trailers, are Republic soldiers. Just conscripts and willing applicants alike. The one who speaks during the second trailer is Jace Malcom, Supreme Commander of the Republic military.
The Jedi who confronts Malgus in the second trailer is Satele Shan. She was the Jedi Padawan in the first trailer. When you see Satele Shan catch Malgus's lightsaber with her bare hands she is using a Force technique named Tutaminis. This technique absorbs all the energy from the blade, which is why it crackles and grows pale where she's touching it. This technique is very dangerous for use like this, so you rarely saw Jedi using it for catching large amounts of energy. Notably, we also see Yoda use Tutaminis to catch Sidious's lightning during their duel. These are the same technique. When later we see Satele Shan stand up and use the Force to throw Malgus through a mountain she is accomplishing that with the residual energy of Tutaminis. Tutaminis absorbs energy, but unless a Jedi releases it quickly the energy will build to a point they can't control and blow up like it did for Yoda. So effectively Satele Shan absorbed a frightening amount of energy from Malgus's lightsaber then used it to throw him through a mountain.
Sith technically do feed off of 'pain' and 'suffering'. But that is only one small expression of the Dark Side. The Dark Side is not pain. It is raw emotion. Passion. We see in the Sith mantra no mention of pain outside of an individual Sith's.
Through passion, I gain strength.
Through strength, I gain power.
Through power, I gain victory.
Through victory, my chains are broken.
Sith could more easily feed on their own pain than the pain of others. At least typically. But any powerful emotion could fuel a Sith's power. Even love.
Yoda is 900 years old by the time he dies. The game starts from 3,643 BBY. Yoda was born in 900 BBY. BBY is counted backwards. The closer we get to the Death Star's destruction the smaller the number. Yoda would not be born for 2700 years after the game.
Malgus is the biggest sith chad in star wars. Killed the woman he loved because his feelings made him weak.
The Old Republic MMO, which these are for, while the stories are great is sadly just your run of the mill, generic MMO. Play it for the stories but don't expect to be blown away by the game itself. The KOTOR duology are great games with some of the best Star Wars story outside the original movies but are pretty dated by now. The Old Republic timeline is a goldmine. I'll take Legends over Disney any day.
"stories that should be developed" - definitely, but definitely NOT by Disney...
4:39 Ahhhhh yes the famous Marvel character EVIL RED GUY lmao
Shocked you knew nothing about TOR....
sequels? he mean the disney fan fiction, the non star wars?
star wars is episode 1-6 and disney trashed lucas "scripts" for 7, 8, 9, that came with the sale, so it is just pure fan fiction after 1-6
Another whiner, yikes
SWTOR is the last section of the franchise that stays true to George Lucas and the canon (not the Disney BS) they include sequel stuff and costumes into the game, but Disney on the other hand has no influence on the game. Lets pray it stays this way, They would ruin the character of the game or butcher its content. The moment EA sells the rights to Disney, i quit the game, and i play since BETA, i also still have my first ever character, a female sith, and i play her for over 10 years by now.
For us, the story was insane, because you had to wait for new content. Back in the days, there where companions and one mission you lost them ...
we had to wait 5,5 years !!!! real time to finally see them again. It was a mission like any other and you asked an npc, were he got that information and you hear that voice " How about... two old friends" That was a moment and we where like "5 years... we started this game and this moment took us 5 years!"
The comparison to the sequels is simple: This right here, this lives and breathes Star Wars. The sequels are space trash with clear pandering to hopeful audiences to make a quick buck and nothing behind it.
Disney has absolutely nothing on these with their crap.
Ok goin to shorten the history lesson The Red skins are the True Siths Darth Malgus with his Twi'lek wife n Mandalorian woman was at th Sacking of Corusant etc
Why buy an Xbox??? This is a mmo on pc ( did they do a console portability ?)
Even the « prequel » of the mmo are two games on pc kotor 1 and 2 ( knight of the old republic) who are freaking good even if a bit old now.
What you just watched was 5000 years before the movies ( and have been made non canon along with everything in Star Wars legend ( which is freaking huge btw) thx to Disney…pffft) and kotor was 300 to 500 years before the old republic.
So you already know the outcome of the numerous wars in swtor since it will lead to the rule of 2 for the sith and later on the ruusan reformation which limits the political power of the Jedi in the republic…among other things such as using armor and modifying the Jedi code a bit.
Anyway the mmo is really good, every npc have voice actor and the story is frankly great especially since every classes has its own story ( first mmo ever where I did every class just to see their story).
Yeah the old republic timeline is millions of times better than the george lucas timeline
we need a movie or animated series!
@@AnotherStarWarsPodcast Animated series would be great, if done right, legendary, lots of stuff to cover
i know that the Sith are evil.
but the Jedi opress their emotions and separate children from their families if they are Force sensitive.
The movies aren’t better than these video games when it comes to Star Wars as of now.
The force users from the original trilogy were only special in power because of the times they live in. In the old republic era even vader would have only been above average in power. Darth Vitiate alone wiped out a 3rd of the galaxy and consumed their force essence. .Also dont play anything in teh old republica era expecting the gameplay to be anything like this. You will be super disappointed.
Dude,why keep name of the game over such a small screen,it's almost unwatchable.
Nobody does that.
Well they DO put annoyingly small screens.
Smaller perhaps in some cases.
You consider yourself a star wars fan, but dont know the old republic and call yoda 9000 years old then call the sequels.... "safe" i often wonder why every star wars fanatic i see lately is a casual with 0 idea about anything
Because this is what a man version of Star Wars is. Disney is feminising star wars ''punshing a homosexual and lesbian agenda.'' That is why the trailer to a video game is so much better than any movie or tv show disney can produce.
