The fact that the Old Republic isn’t cannon is a galactic crime
Filoni keeps canonizing it piece by piece.
@@scienceandponies in name only so it doesnt really count
Disney: Are you threatening me Master Jedi?
THEY ARE TO ME
I don't know if I am the only one but Arcann is one of my favourite Star wars characters
These trailers have more plot, character development, story, and amusement then Disney’s sequels.
@@mysticalsnail7611 The trailers or the sequels?
@@mysticalsnail7611 definitely disagree if you're talking about the trailers. In just, what, like 5 minutes? You see these two boys grow from being curiously innocent, and fiercely loyal to each other, to being badass brothers crusading on their evil fathers behalf, and seeing them both (one more so than the other) growing resentful against their father barely acknowledging anything that they do until one finally snaps and ends up killing his brother out of blind rage. That's great character development in 5 minutes.
@@-hasamastersdegreeinwumbol8565 Old Republic era is the best and not denying it but homeboy above is right. There is no significant character development in these 5 minutes trailers 😂
@@apomtaylor8054 I didn't say that these 5 minute trailers did as much as an entire trilogy could accomplish. I just meant that these trailer tell a better story, have better characters, and, in my opinion, have more interesting character arcs.
@@apomtaylor8054 and yet still more than any sequel character
the utterly heartbroken look in the mother's eyes is killer.

@@skywalker6587 Let her son become Darth Vader technically
@@peaceweapon1933 Given that she was dead, I wouldn't hold her responsible for it lol. If anything it was the jedi's fault not raising Anakin right.
Now you know why "Legends" fans are so upset. We lost some absolutely amazing characters and stories to get Rey in a copy/paste of the Original trilogy but where she's near perfect and has minimal attachments to the rest of the cast.
Just wait until you read the Legends books. Start with Heir to the Empire, Dark Force Rising, and The Last Command. It's set almost exactly when The Mandalorian show is and was the unofficial Sequel trilogy for 25 years. Leia gets a lightsaber in it btw and it's where Mara Jade gets introduced, who was the Ahsoka of her day. A fan is currently turning it chapter by chapter into CZcams videos, he's up to chapter 10 atm. So you can watch the first few chapters currently.
Legends... there is no Legends. There is only Star Wars. Everything Disney ever created is Farce Wars

@@germanzepeda2754 true
@@reubenphilip7385 You too, good sir. May the force be with you!
The twins aren't Jedi by the way, they follow a path separate from the Jedi and Sith. They were fighting both the Republic and Empire and returned with flags of both, showing their conquests.
The Eternal Empire xD
Cat: (Visible thirsting)
I think she caught on when they started fighting aggressively and killing without remorse.
@Karabo Motlhake Understandable since a side that sees no difference in light or dark is just naturally stronger or at least can be.
@Karabo Motlhake lol.
"He's terrifying"
You have no idea. These cinematics really do a good job of selling what tank of a man Malgus is, but at the same time they only scratch the surface. Darth Malgus is one of the most terrifyingly devoted sith that Star Wars has ever produced. The dude murdered his own wife, the only person in the universe he genuinely cared about, purely because his love for her held him back from fully embracing the dark side. He is the only sith I know of that has achieved 'oneness' (or perfect unity) with the dark side. To top it off, the bastard just won't quit. I call him a tank, but honestly I think you'd have more luck destroying an actual tank by punching it than you would killing this guy armed to the teeth.
He nearly succeeds in creating his own Empire, he probably would have if not for the plot armor we have for being player-characters lol
@@SuccubiSage And still comes back as relentless as ever! Dude chucked a sith lord into a canyon like he was swatting a fly!
If I remember correctly his actual class is sith gugernaugt so he is a tank with vary high damage in default. Then you add in his oneness with the code, his intellect, power, ability, will and anger and you have one of the strongest sith combatants and tacticians in history.
Terrifying dos not do him justice. The dude was a nightmare only surpassed by visiot and people
Of that caliber who are almost godlike in nature and power.
@@kevind3974 Yep. It's why the man is easily my favorite sith in the franchise. He's fascinating on a character level do to sheer devotion, not to the empire, but the dark side itself, to the point that he's willing to leave himself in a state of near constant anger and pain in service to it. In battle, he's probably the very last person I'd ever want as my enemy. Vitiate may have near God-like power, but his overconfidence works against him more often than not. Malgus is cunning, relentless, and unwavering. The worst possible person to have coming after you, because you can't deter him and he won't back down. You have to fight and you better hope you're ready for him.
@@judaihyuga He was Vader before it was cool lmao
This is why we hate Disney for throwing out everything for what they did.
No they didn't I have no Idea what you're talking about. That didn't happen in my reality.
So...what happened? Correct me if I'm wrong, but did Disney, like, buy the rights to star wars and then just throw out a bunch of things because it might conflict with their bullshit movies? If so, that's just wrong. Do they not know how passionate star wars fans are about the lore?
@@-hasamastersdegreeinwumbol8565 yes that's what pretty much what happened
Yea no they really didn't. I mean they've been reintegrating stuff from the EU but also using their original content as well.
@@Sam-xd8fy Ah, I like you reality, before the dark times, before Disney.
Disney can say this isn't cannon all they want, these 4 minute animations have more heart, soul, and character than what Disney has done in 8 years
Who cares if it isn't canon? Legends has so many awesome stories, and none are diminished by not being part of Canon.
when Satele caught the lightsaber blade, she used Tuetemenis, the technique yoda used to catch force lightning
Ah! So that’s what it’s called
@@Grid433 So, I know its late. this was the full explination of the ability and thanks Earl for the basis :) . The reason and "How Of" that Satele was able to use her hand against Malgus' Lightsaber was an ancient force ability called Tutaminis. Essentially this allowed Jedi OR Sith to absorb different levels of physical energy INTO their body without damage. How much energy depended on the individual and their training, but yes. Things such as Blaster Bolts, Force Lightning and yes even the energy of a lightsaber could be absorbed straight into the body instead of casing damage.
@@admiral-shepard6161 it DID couse damage to the body id not donne propperly thou. Tuetemenis dispersed the energy from one state into the body, but while in the body, you could overload yourself and destroy yourself if you bite off more then you can chew, so most is used to difuse, and then harnes and redirect
Vader demonstrated the ability in Cloud City when he caught Han's blaster bolt in his hand.
Tutaminis*
Fun fact she is a descendant of the legendary Jedi Revan and Bastila Shan.
Satele Shan is 👌
@@andrewnaftel5533
Wait, their relationship was canon? If so, that's awesome. I always chose that romance option during my playthroughs.
I know
@Paul Parish
Legends _is_ canon as far as I'm concerned.
@Paul Parish both are canon same way thrawn is in both
P.s darth bane is also a legends and canon character too
13:33 that ability is called Tutaminis, basically energy redirection. Yoda used a basic version to redirect lightning in the movie.
AN interesting thing as well...IF you consider the d20 star wars rpg worthy, cortosis armor is lightsaber resistant. If the Tutaminis ability seems out there (lightsaber wise it does to me), a cortosis weave gauntlet could have this effect as well.
Also, Vader used it to absorb the blaster fire from Han on Cloud City.
Lightning is an advanced application, especially with the caliber of lightning sidious can produce. More basic applications include blaster deflection, fire absorption/redirection, and being able to block metal bullets. However, it is an advanced ability regardless. Lightsabers are the most advanced application, we’ve seen obi wan use it against magna guards staffs, but yeah basically lightning is pretty advanced and lightsabers are the most advanced.
Malgus's surprise is my favorite part. The fact that they animated his shock is great.
Vaylin. She makes the Sith emperor and Malgus seem level headed.
Also this game is amazing, old, but still amazing. It got a huge boost recently from the new movies and Mandalorian.
**SPOILER**
I am so pissed off that I can't save her like I can Arcann.
The first time I saw this cinematic I literally cried and said "Why didn't these people make the new Star Wars trilogy?
Unfortunately the cinematic stopped around the time TFA released which means they aren’t doing anymore to prevent fan confusion i guess. Shame the sequels had to be the reason all of legends were decanonized.
@@PyroPuffs777 disney never had any say in what was SW canon and not. and they never will. certainly not so long as they fail to toss the KKlan out on the street.
@@hansolav5924 i mean it happened. You might not like it, and neither will i, but that’s what happened. All non film and TV content was declared legends, and thusly removed from continuity and canon.
@@PyroPuffs777 far as I know, there are a small group of people capable of claiming the right to make such decisions. last I checked, none of them worked at Disney. Beyond that, it is up to the fans. as for legends...wheel of Time-fans can tell you that just means it happened a long time ago. :P I can't claim to have read or listened to much of the EU-books, but what I have, is several times the 'star wars value' KK's fanfics are.
@@hansolav5924 they own star wars, its their choice, you don't have to like it, but you have to acknowledge it
THAT is what star wars looks like honestly
not the biggest fan of the MMO art style lacks that retro look and goes for more modern sci fi elements some armours almost have that Destiny look (Eternal Empire) come off as more advanced in tech yet ancient in design even through its set 4000 years in the past. Love the Kotor art style that kept built off the retro look of Star Wars but give it a new look for the factions and people we all know and love like the Mandalorian the one in the trailers armour design is very modern in its design language compared to that of the Neo crusaders from Kotor or The Modern Mandalorian. Maybe its explained by a dark age of tech but I always found the MMO to feel out of place between Kotor and the Prequals like how Halo went from Halo 3 to Halo 4 compete art design change.
@@CaptainAmercia Thats fair. I mostly agree.
@@alexandercuevas6783 Don't get me wrong there's a lot I like mostly the Military uniforms but some of the trooper and Sith/Jedi stuff feel really out of place very MMO over the top which is the point I guess people want the most out there outfits lol
@@CaptainAmercia yeah thats it.
@@CaptainAmercia I agree with a lot of what you said, but you can't tell me that the story, combat and feel of these trailers isn't what Star Wars should be striving to do in their movies. If we got this kinda shit in the sequel trilogy it would've been amazing.
I can't tell you how much I love that "what am I watching" expression everytime I introduce this universe to someone.
In the second cinematic the Jedi woman, Satele Shan the now Jedi Grandmaster in the game, catches Darth Malgus's lightsaber. The specific Force technique is known by the name of Tutaminis. You might know it as the ability Darth Vader used to catch blaster bolts with his bare hands. It's a fairly high-level technique used primarily by masters. It functions by taking the energy affecting the Jedi and displacing it into their body. The entire time Satele Shan was holding Malgus's saber by the blade the heat of the blade was being displaced across her entire body. One of the dangers of Tutaminis is that the energy absorbed can overwhelm the user. That should tell you how powerful Darth Sidious was that he could output enough lightning to overpower Yoda's Tutaminis and throw him.
This also explains what allowed Satele Shan to throw Malgus through a mountain. She was releasing the energy she had collected from holding Malgus's lightsaber by the blade.
You aren’t a failed Star Wars fan, you’re merely on your journey, Jedi Knight LaSalle.
You mean Sith Apprentice. She loves her some Sith. - Sith
overtime we shall turn her to to the dark side
Breakdown:
1st - Return: After almost being genocided by the Republic and barely escaping into the darkest corner of the galaxy the Sith Empire returns with a vengeance.
2nd - Hope: Empire attacks Alderaan and eventually loses it or fights to a standstill (can't remember. ingame there is a "cease fire" that both sides follow only loosely and both are on Alderaan)
3rd - Deceived: Both the Empire and Republic are hurting after years of war and come together on Alderaan for peace talks. The Empire sacks Coruscant during the negotiations, destroys the Jedi Temple and basically holds the entire capital hostage. With leverage like this the "cease fire" that they agree on is naturally way more in the Empire's favor than it was before, thus letting the Empire come out on top when negotiating for territory, etc. The Empire was not in a good place when the peace talks started and arguably needed the cease fire more desperately than the Republic, a fact only learned later by most.
AFTER ALL THIS, the story starts. The galaxy is TECHNICALLY not at war but it is really more of a cold war between Empire and Republic, with both sides bending the cease fire treaty, the Treaty of Coruscant, to the breaking point at multiple times. Oh yeah and the Emperor is abnormally silent, leaving most of the rule in the hands of the Sith Council.
The following is getting into SPOILER territory so if you don't want to spoil yourself the story of a few of the biggest plot points of the base game better not read on...
.
.

4th - Sacrifice: The one that kicks of Knights of the Fallen Empire expansion. After learning that the Emperor (who gets "killed" by the player Jedi Knight in the JK class storyline) is not only still alive but also happily draining an entire planet of it's life-force the Empire and the Republic both try to find him. Turns out Darth Vitiate, our glorious Emperor, got bored/disappointed by his current Empire and left his pet-project to die after literally hundreds of years of shaping it from the shadows to take over another empire, again from the shadows. But this time a little bit more openly. The old man in the cinematic is Vitiate, in the guide of Emperor Valkorion, the twins are his sons who he had with the woman of the following trailer. Long story short, he basically elevated a small, unknown empire into a powerhouse thanks to his powers, experience and a conviniently obtained, automated, super-fleet. His sons try, in vain, to gain his respect or rather his attention, as he shuns them both from the start. Basically he has a force thing experiment going and he wants only one son alive to eventually possess his body... iirc. Anyway, that is why he only ever acknowledges Arcann after he killed his own brother Thexan in his dark-side rage.
5th - Betrayal: Senya, Emperor Valkorion's wife, tries desperately not to loose her daughter Vaylin to her estranged hubby's machinations. That Vaylin is a prodigy with the force of course didn't help since our boi Vitiate wants to diddle with her force powers too.
Both the 4th and 5th cutscene play basically BEFORE the expansion start chronologically.
If you have not tried SWTOR yet and you like RPGs I HIGHLY reccommend it if only for playing the class stories, which are all varying levels of excellent. Fully voiced, RPG that happens to have multiplayer if you choose. But SWTOR can be played alone pretty much for just the story. Of course this MMO has way more than just that to offer but I would suggest to check out Swotorista's SWTOR The Academy videos about more details about the game itself since she does an excellent job of covering the game for years now. Basically if you have a question about the game, she likely has already made 1-4 videos about it.
The game begins 10 years after the destruction of the Jedi Temple. By this point, Satele Shan is the GRand Master of the Jedi Order
@@luketimewalker I stand corrected... Or not... I was sure I wrote 5 years in there but I guess I forgot alltogether. Derp.
@@Fransens actually you might be correct, NO ONE knows the correct time difference, there are references to both 5 years and 10 years, everyone will tell you a diffferent answer and theres no concrete 100% proven answer.
@@mehlyn6599 You sure? I was at least certain that the game or the timeline lore videos they released before the game came out at least put a number on it. XD
"You..were deceived. And your republic..shall fall!" Original gave me chills.
Yea why was the dialogue changed?
Right??? Oh my God! I'm so glad, that others think so too xD everytime I see someone watching these cinematics, I always fear the 2nd and 3rd cinematic dialogues... And EVERY TIME... It's these "fake", non-original dialogues... :/ the originals were sssso good :3
@@InsertNameHereJ it was done to fit the overall story. but the original is soo much better
So on the off chance someone hasn’t already said this, since you’re a sith fan, Magus’s master, the red guy in the first trailer is a sith pure blood. In the EU the word sith was originally a species, the native species of Koriban that exiled Jedi would meet and interbreed with, eventually creating the Sith order
I will never understand why these cinematics were never made into full blown live action movies. They would break blockbuster records. Disney literally has a cash pile right here but have to make High Republic smh
Live-action nothing. a story that started in another medium will always fail to some extent in Live Action. it's just the way it is. LA is MASSIVELY restricting.
@@hansolav5924 This will translate beautifully to live action because it is very realistic graphics and was originally made with motion capture. This is not a Clone Wars or Rebels cartoon.
@@thesexyskywalker3283 animation of any kind I can think of only takes time and effort. LA requires a lot more. and thus involves a truckload or three of things that can, and most likely will, go wrong...or at least force alterations to the script. Primarily, when something is animated, every little detail has been studied and specifically created for the scene. there are no end of proof that this is not the case for LA.
@@hansolav5924 Yeah you aren't really getting anything across here. Any production will always have some sort of shifts. The only thing about LA is the actors sometimes improvising but that can often result in good things. You do realize animation also has to deal with similar issues in voice acting? I believe you are thinking things will go wrong bc this is Disney and I agree. But in a perfect world LA TOR would be amazing.
because it's impossible
Where Satele (Jedi with the Blue saberstaff) “catches” Malgus’ lightsaber blade, it’s basically the ability Yoda used to absorb Dooku’s lightning, to it’s highest degree (Though Yoda’s never needed to use it against a lightsaber) she later became the grand master of the Jedi Order, that battle is her when she’s a Jedi Knight, so you can imagine how powerful she is as Grand Master
She is a prodigy with a legacy bloodline of two of the strongest force users of their day. Satele is a powerhouse. I wonder how she would stack up against the likes of Kenobi or Ahsoka.
Tutaminis is what I believe it's called
@@brucechmiel7964 She would lose against kenobi but win against ahsoka. Don't let the cinematic trailer fool you. Star Wars content Versus Series creators dedicated to pitting star wars characters in a duel against each other accurately scale Satele. In my opinion, she is overrated, and this is largely due in part to the trailer cinematic.
I would recommend watching Just Your Average Joe's video "Pre Suit Vader (Anakin after he fell to the dark side) vs Satele Shan"
czcams.com/video/gNbJzkSLA0w/video.html
@@lapplandkun9273 Well do like Jenssari and Novaprime. It is my opinion that Satele does not have material wise for me to have a assessment.
@@brucechmiel7964 Fair enough, though Jensaarai, GreyJedi91 and EvanNova have done obscure characters such as ronhar kim and lord odion.
Curious about your thoughts on the video. Did you agree with it or not?
The “Deceived” trailer, (the 3rd one) you watched honestly just doesn’t sit right with me due to the dubbed narration of Malgus. The original Narration of Malgus is way more grim and shows off his true brutality. You’re right about Malgus being terrifying. He is my personal favorite Sith in SW. Even if Disney says he’s not canon.
I gotta go with Darth nihilus
Ok so I wasn't hallucinating about the version of his voice being different.. do you know the reason it was changed from deceived?
@@kaleye3989 probably stemmed from some brain dead focus group that couldn't figure out what was going on, hence a more exposition heavy dubbed version
"Our time has come. For 300 years, we prepared. We grew stronger. While you rested in your cradle of power, believing your people were safe… protected. You were trusted to lead the Republic but you were deceived, as our powers over the dark side had blinded you. You assumed no force could challenge you and now… finally… we have returned.
You were deceived. And now your Republic will fall."
@@kaleye3989 It's the same thing with the second trailer. The narration is different there too from what I remember.
Malgus is an absolute beast and, yes, Satele Shan totally rocks. I would absolutely pay money for a feature-length version of these animations.
this game is still going strong, and it's free to play. It's not too late at all.
Little noticed detail: in the throne room fight, Arcann (the twin in white) has his eye color change to Dark Side yellow, but when he kills his brother, Thexan, you can see his eye color change back to blue. He gave in to the Dark Side for the briefest moment and it cost him *everything.*
Edit: Also, there are three Old Republic games.
1: Knights of the Old Republic
2: Knights of the Old Republic 2: The Sith Lords
3: Star Wars: The Old Republic
The first two are REEEEEEALLY old and definitely feel it. The iPad versions are probably some of the most stable versions of the games, unless you mod them on PC. They also cost like, 10 bucks each or something, so it’s not expensive. Very worth it for the story and world building. And the card game. And swoop racing. And our loves, T3-M4 and HK-47: R2’s great grandpappy and C-3PO’s murderous, psychotic cousin, respectively. The player character is a silent protagonist, in early RPG fashion.
The Old Republic game is a free-to-play game, technically, but subscribing is definitely worth it for the benefits. It’s $15/month for a subscription. It came out in 2011 so it’s not super graphics intensive either. You can play as 4 classes for either faction, Republic or Sith Empire. These classes are, respectively, the Jedi Knight, Jedi Consular, (think Obi-Wan “The Negotiator”) Trooper, and Smuggler for the Republic, and Sith Warrior, (the pale Sith in the first 3 trailers) Sith Inquisitor, (Sith politics heavy) Bounty Hunter, (you become a Mandalorian, what more motivation do you need?) and Imperial Agent. (Definitely the best story-wise- you can apparently have up to like 7 or 8 different endings for this class, which is INSANE.) Each class has a unique story, with a fully voiced protagonist, (Jennifer Hale voices the female Trooper- *YOU CAN PLAY AS FEMSHEP IN STAR WARS*) which, personal opinion, the women all voice better than their male counterparts- I’ve done all of them on both sexes.
If you wanna know more about SWTOR, search @Swtorista here on CZcams. She has a TON of videos for curious people looking to play, beginners guides, etc. I recommend playing this AFTER both KOTORs since it does take the place of KOTOR 3, and takes place 300 years after the events of KOTOR 1 and 2. There are storylines that will continue from KOTOR into SWTOR, too, so there’s that.
Edit 2: holy canoli Batman, I sound like an infomercial.
@swtorista is Basically the wikipedia of SWTOR. Anything you want to know about this era is there.
i disagree with the women voicing better than their male counterparts, but otherwise that's basically it
@@joaoluis2318 I don't know why everybody says that about literally every game that has both male and female protagonists. They said that about AC Valhalla, they said that about Cyberpunk 2077, they said that about Mass effect, but I pretty much always disagree.
I mean...in swtor, sure you got Jennifer Hale voicing female trooper, but you got Nolan North voicing the male Consular, and the voice actor for Solid Snake voicing Jedi Knight, so I definitely wouldn't say the female voices are the only good voices in the game.
No matter how many times I watch these SWTOR trailers, my reaction is always the same - bloody amazed at how epic it is! 😁
Even though Darth Malgus sustained heavy wounds he always got back up. A true Monster of the Sith
Crazy how a 6 minute video that has any dialogue has more emotion and story telling than the sequels and pretty much any other story
Darth Malgus will be one of my favourite Sith. Both in canon and legends.
Why did they change the voice over for Deceived. The new one is really weak both in sound quality and writing.
@@LordElpme Its not new, it is from the game. The trailer one is indeed better
What about Darth Revan?
Yea...disney removed the old republic from canon
@@dieserphil4288 one day, Reven will be canon again
"He's terrifying..."
After coming to the realization one day that his love for his wife would forever prevent him from truly knowing the Dark Side, Malgus immediately put a his lightsaber through her chest. Despite that, would have made a fair and effective Emperor, but the Dark Council refused to give up its power to him, which started another Sith civil war. they did love their power struggles.
Love the KOTOR series and the SWTOR mmo will always hold a place in my heart.
Swtor definitely feels dated when playing the game but I so wish that they actually make movies based on this time era, or even far back enough that for the prequel and sequel movies, they give off a "legends" vibe where it's like did this really happen? Did it not?
I think itd be pretty cool
I will always prefer this over the "High Republic."
Will see. The High Republic is mostly concept for now. I don't know enough to make a call if it will be good or not
@@oliviawilliams6204 pretty sure the first thing for it came out on the 5th, or at least it will be sometime this month, it was a concept last year but it's not a concept anymore (however it's still obviously a testing ground)
@@oliviawilliams6204 It's slowly coming out-of-concept. The Light of the Jedi novel, for instance, is now released.
Have you read Light of the Jedi?
The Woke Republic will be the final nail in the coffin for the comic book industry. I personally don't care about comics, but the takeaway here is that these cultural vandals are out to destroy everything people hold dear.
The girl with double-bladed lightsaber is Gran Master Satele Shan, she basically represent one of the advanced-classes (Jedi Shadow, in this case, Darth Malgus represents the a-c Sith Juggernaut) of the game, like all the main characters of these trailers.
The plot is, basically, a Cold War between the Republic and the Sith Empire, and this game is HEAVY with Star Wars Lore, specifically the Lore before Disney's changed everything, they even explain what Twi'leks, Zabraks, Togrutas and Rattataki are and why they are genetically compatible with humans.
I played a lot of this MMO and just few days before I was pondering on returning to play it because it really feels like Star Wars, it's so immersive, even if maybe the multiple choices don't really have a real impact of the story-arcs, but I really loved it.
original sith are extinct in the well known movie era, unfortunately. Bioware was free to play around with them, which is a blessing to creativity.
For some reason, the dialogue for the third trailer seemed incorrect. There’s a much better version that is the original I believe. This one had Malgus speaking different lines
Disney likes to change history to suite the present.
His lines definitely seem dubbed. He sounds different
@@gothicpando doesnt have anything to do with disney. This version is the version you get from watching it ingame.
The second trailer was different too.
@@gothicpando Dudes be blaming Disney for everything lol
I remember when these cinematics came out, I was stunned honestly it was so awesome and really the Star Wars experience I wish the other Star Wars movie makers should have done. I played SWTOR for years, fun game.
"Long have I waited" Glad to finally see this reaction, love the Old Republic so much!
Honestly this is what Star Wars should be.
is the steam long download for the mmo worth it? and are the trailers in the game as cinematics or just for advertising?
@@Donsposts the trailers are for advertising
@@Donsposts if u play it on a current pc u can max out on th optic so it can look quite nice but more importantly the stories are really good
Ya the stories for so many of the different classes in the game are so good and the game is definitely worth playing
Oh shit you never seen these, now this my friend
Is where the fun begins.😆🤓.
She mentioned looking up the twins history. She’s dosnt know what she just walked into.
Vitiate
And after seeing these cinematic shorts I have one thing to say: Where are the movies like this?? There's so much story and detail in such short segments! Seriously this kind of effort and care needs to be on the big screen!
hmm 2 years late but i have a theory. That since its shorter than a movie all that care and attention is put towards a smaller time length so more can come out of it. Whereas a movie is so long that the care and attention is spread out thin, sometimes the plot can be affected and could even be spread out thin as well in addition to the care and attention. I do agree wholehartedly i'd love a full length old republic movie....honestly would be fun!, and hell no to a high republic movie.
Who knew 36 minutes of trailers was better than the entire new saga!
you should watch hope and deceived cinematics again because they redid them, basically they changed the voice-over dialogue and it's so much worse than the original one. you don't have to redo a reaction if you don't want to but you should consider checking it out for sure. for example that was indeed alderaan. in the original voice over the trooper jace malcum tells you it is alderaan. the new one doesn't. the new ones feel more generic and don't feel like they were made specifically for the trailer.
agree'd the revised cinematics made me mad. they are so much better with the original dialogue.
Man the voice over is so bad compared to the original. smh.
@@macauleyguerrero4548 agreed.
so they did voice-over dialogue, was just thinking i don't remember these lines.
@@lebrunjemz687 yeah they did, it just doesn't hit the same. You can find the old versions by watching the individual trailers.
Also, the part where she grabs Malgus's Lightsaber with her bare hands? She's using Tutaminis, the same Force power Yoda uses when he blocks Force Lightning.
Also the same that Vader uses when he blocks Han Solo's blaster shots with bare hands on Bespin.
@@L4sz10 Is that confirmed? Because he wouldn't really need to use it with a cybernetic hand...
@@amperzand14 Wouldn’t want to damage the cybernetics though I’d assume.
@@blboy129 Good point.
where did you read about tutaminis?!?
I've watched this cinematic like once a month for the past 10 years and its still my absolute favorite 30 minutes of star wars ever.
Darth Malgus, the most BADASS Sith to have ever existed, look at him, he's an absolute monster, and near indestrudtible, this juggernaut of a man can take anything and just keep going, he was so devoted to the dark side he even killed his wife.
For in her death, she granted him a powerful gift, RAGE!
Most baddass? I think you misspelled Revan
@@smitefulaxe1344 Nah bro, Revan is absolutely sick too, he's more powerful and more skilled but not an unstoppable tank that literally does not die no matter what you throw at it like Malgus, in my opinion, Malgus is the most badass.
Darth Sion: Am I a joke to you?
(That dude died like over 50 times lol)
I think the most badass is Nihilus, just wish he was in a cinematic because that’d look/be so cool
And also I wish Vitiate/Valkorian did more in these trailers to actually show his power
@@aydenstewy Sion is just nasteh imo😂 But let's be fair, all of the old Republic era Sith are insanely cool and diverse, my favourite is Malgus but the other ones from that era are just as sick and scary, Nihilus and Sion like you mentioned are also incredibly scary and badass.
@@cheesypnut9827
Yep, all the (main) Sith from that Era are cool
Just wish we could see them in a show/movie
Ok, this has made me want to play SWTOR again. Such a fun game.
Eh, let's be real. The best thing is the cinematics. It's honestly just another mmorpg Gameplay wise
Some of the classes have a somewhat decent story and the beginning of Knights of the Fallen Empire was probably the best segment they ever did. But it was never fun. I would know, I got my pvp rank 100 within 6 months of release so I was pretty dedicated. Especially since my server was empty, at the end you had to wait 30 minutes to enter a match. Every time. I had hopes for Legacy of the Sith but it ended up even worse than the Rise of the Hutt Cartel. It's basically a solo game these days and it's worse than ever unfortunately.
The cinematics were top tier in quality and although the games was really fun, the graphics weren't quite that good. But that time period is some of the best for story and content.
The trailers were done by the same team that did Arkham City's. Check out Batman vs Tygers trailer.
Her authentic, genuine and emotion packed reactions to the videos she watches is what keeps me around. Love authentic reactions and I love it when people aren't afraid to let the ole water works loose on camera.
PS lots of love from Ireland Cat. Hope you have a great 2021💗
The Old Republic, while sharing a lot of tech and races from the movies, takes place thousands of years before the movies. Canon or not, it allows so many unique...custom-tailored stories for each class. Really nice to see SWTOR getting more attention.
Duel of the Fates play
Cat: :O
Hehehehe
You should all watch these upscaled to 8K60fps, makes all the difference.
You should play KOTOR tho. Like seriously. The graphics are dated, but it’s a whole experience.
I love KOTOR 😝
Do a let’s play surely ?
I’m thinking of buying KOTOR 1 & 2 on Xbox
I love those games and they lead directly to swtor!!!
I still have kotor 1 and 2 on disc and still play them on my original xbox
I love your reaction to the original 3 trailers. It reminds me of when I first saw them before the release of the game. Thank you for the trip down memory lane. :)
The cinematics are something else. They're what you wish the movies could be too.
Lucky for you, SW: The Old Republic is free to play. Your PC could most likely run it.
Only for pc? 😩
I played KOTOR and am finishing KOTOR 2 im in love with these games
@@chilledbro372 The old republic is a MMO based, though very story driven, and plays like World of Warcraft so it would be hard to translate to a controller. There are likely other reasons its not on console.
@@BloodBrothersInc1 ahhh makes sense
Star Wars KOTOR and KOTOR 2 are available on Steam, unfortunately they aren't free but as far as I know, they are cheap purchases
34:08 There is a Darth Malgus book. It's called "The Old Republic: Deceived" and I can recommend it as well as "The Old Republic: Revan" which is about another great character from this era, Revan. And if you get the opportunity you should play the games from this time peroid. There are three I think: "Knights of Old Republic" (which is about Revan as well), "Knights of the Old Republic II" and "Star Wars: The Old Republic" (a MMORPG about the characters in the trailers). You shouldn't expect the same graphics as in the trailers but the story is great.
Captain, prep your ship, duel of the fates is playing
I love these trailers and people’s reactions to it. They don’t often talk in the them but they do a great job of conveying a lot of the story. The twins and their sister are my favorite since I’m a twin too lol.
21:33 I love the story about the two brothers. They both represent the light and dark sides of the force. If you look closely at this part of the video you can see that the white brother's eyes are red, similar to Anakin's eyes when he was controlled by the dark side which is a cool detail.
Anakins eyes were, just like every sith, yellow
almost correct! The twins didn't even know about light and dark, they drew their strength from another place in the Force, sort of in the middle. They believe in a higher purpose, which is to serve Zakuul and its Eternal Emperor (whose true identity the twins don't even know) and that's where their strength comes from (same applies for the Knights of Zakuul). When Arcann goes mad (the white one) it's not because he was consumed by darkness, but by *ambition* (listen carefully to the voice-over...), and that's exactly what the Emperor wanted: that one of the two brothers eventually would kill the other in his pursuit of greatness.
Arcann's eyes going back to normal the moment he realises what he did to his brother was a nice touch.
Catherine: The jedi with the double blade?
Pong Krell and Jaro Topal: AM i joke to you?
Hilarious, because both of those Jedi you just mentioned died to the same faction of people LMAO
@@DravicPL And?
@@toamszkozak8822 Nothing, I was just amused because I never realised that!
You also have a spelling error in your nickname :D
@@DravicPL Yes i know haha
@@toamszkozak8822 fix it, you're triggering people's OCD :D
When satele takes the lightsaber into her palm shes using a force ability called absorb energy like how darth vader took those Blaster shot blasts into his hand from han solo on cloud city in the empire strikes back
watching these trailers made me tear up every single time. They're just so emotive and based strongly on the relationships between characters and the conflicts that bind them. I haven't done a lot of playing of these games because I don't have a console, but I've done loads of reading of the lore of the games and - man - I really wish I did play through these!
Honestly I love this shit. All the newish people coming to Star Wars and finding out there is more then just the movies.
Its great its literally a whole new galaxy of content. I got into sw eu a cple yrs ago and man did it open up my world
The twins are apart of The Eternal Empire which is separate from the jedi and the sith and their father is the emperor and they kill both jedi and Sith they follow the ways of the dark side
not really, they are more on a "gray" side of things. They draw their strength from the Force believing in a higher purpose, which is Zakuul and its Eternal Emperor in their case (that stands above everyone), while Sith draw their strength from hate and fear while the Jedi from peace of mind and balance, disconnecting from the pleasures of life. That's why they got almost annihilated by the twins, they didn't know how to counter their prowess with the Force
They don't follow the dark side for the sake of the dark side, but they are clearly bloodthirsty, yellow eye force users.
@@JohnDoe-dj3lw Yeah, I always felt that Thexan wasn't really dark and Arcann just followed the ways of the dark side because of how Valkorion acted
Now for context of the 5 video...It happens about 1000 years before the Battle of Yavin, in a Republic who as rebuild post civil war created by Darth Revan and the triumvirate of the Dark side.
The first video is the Sith Empire returning to Korriban, in full force after consolidating his power in the Outer Rim, away from the view of the Republic. Darth Malgus takes control of the sith military, and Satele Shan will bring up to speed the Republic for the coming war.
The second : The Sith invade Alderaan, symbol of the Republic. The Republic answers back with a counter attack to show their support and resolve.
The third: But it was a trap, the army of the Republc focused on other core world like Alderaan are not focused on Coruscant, which Malgus attack with precision and kills the Grand Master of the Jedi Order, starting the Sacking of Coruscant...That attack will bring the war to an end and a peace treaty will be made between the loosing Republic and the (in reality weaken) Sith Empire. The Galaxy is in a state of cold war were you start the game, both side testing the other on side offensive.
The fourth: Meanwhile, the real threat to the galaxy is on the unknown regions. The immortal emperor Valkorion build in secret the Eternal fleet and let his fake Sith Empire weaken the Republic. Now his twins starts the war against both factions, who has restart the war in the second act of the game. One survive. The Republic and Sith form an uneasy alliance to stop this threat !
The fifth: Valkorion also have a daughter, strong with the force, but her mother does not want her to let her go to the dark side. She becomes unstable...Valkorion wants to control all...The mother helps the hero of the game to save her child...
It's crazy how good those cinematic trailers were. They're legit some of the best star wars media ever. And it's criminal that we haven't gotten more or a film in that style, because the folks behind those trailers know how to write star wars. The difference in quality between these trailers and the actual game is even more shocking haha
"This guys a Boss"
Well he was the jedi battle master at the time.
I remember when this was canon, cries in Tenebrae.
It’s still canon in our hearts
It was never canon.
There was no such thing as canon vs non-canon before the Disney era.
There was general "canonness", some things being "more definitively canon" than others. A commonly accepted model was from the Holocron Continuity Database. "The Holocron's database included a field for a single letter (G, T, C, S, N or D) representing the level of canonicity of that element; these letters were since informally applied to the levels of canon themselves: G-canon, T-canon, C-canon, S-canon, N-canon and D-canon."
starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Canon
@@RobertH3 nah
@@freddyking4202 Excellent application of evidence and reason there. I counter with a "yeah-huh", and in anticipation of your "nuh uh!" here is another "yeah huh!".
@@RobertH3 thank you, very informative.
Watching you watch these epic trailers, seeing the appreciation and awe on your face and in your expressions was awesome.. refreshing to see someone who loves Star Wars seeing these for the first time.. 👍🏻
These reactions are priceless. Seeing the cutscenes always strike awe into fans
it would be nice a movie on this timeline story, even if it's not canon
not canon after disney entered SW.
There are many, many telltale signs that Jon Favreau LOVES and plays this game - and of course its illustrious predecessors, Knights of the Old Republic I & II.
For instance the shape of space stations - like a spinning top - or the pincer shape of the imperial stardestroyers with a hangar in the middle, are something we got to see in The Mandalorian, but that got established in this game a decade ago.
They plan to do a lot of more movies and series, saw an entire list of them. Can't remember what they where all about, but have a loose memory of them actually making a movie or series, taking place in the old republic.
Awesome reaction! I'll do a bit of explaining.
Knights of the Old Republic (KOTOR 1) was a 2003 video game which is the one you can get for your iPad. It's the one that introduces you to the world and gives us memorable characters like Darth Malak, Darth Revan, Bastila Shan, and many more. It is set 3,956 years before A New Hope in the Legends timeline. Definitely recommend playing this one first.
After is Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords (KOTOR 2) was released in 2004. It takes place 5 years after KOTOR 1 and follows a new protagonist. I highly recommend playing this one on Steam with the Sith Lords Restored Content Mod. Basically, this game was rushed when it first came out, but modders fixed a lot and added a ton of cut content. It is the best way to play.
Finally is Star Wars the Old Republic (SWTOR) which is an MMO (Massively multiplayer online game kinda like World of Warcraft) that was released in 2011 and has been updated throughout the years. These cinematics were promotions for the game and take place before the events of the game. The game takes place around 300 years after the events of KOTOR 1 and 2. Many characters from the cinematics like Satele Shan and Darth Malgus appear in-game, though you do not directly play them. You basically can create your own character to be on the Republic or Empire and there are different classes like Jedi, Sith, Bounty Hunter, Smuggler, Trooper, and more. Unfortunately, the game does play like the trailers do but it is still fun especially with friends. SWTOR can be played on a PC tho it is a fairly large game and needs decent specs to run well.
This is a lot of info but hopes this helps clarify a bit more. I'd explain more of the characters but this comment is already long enough haha. Lmk if you have any further questions!
KOTOR 2 also was just recently ported to mobile, and the developer of the Restored Content Mod has confirmed it still works.
"unfortunately, the game does play like the trailers" - what does that even mean? Are you referring to all the cutscenes where your toon actually speaks and you're immersed in the story? How is that a bad thing? Being so involved in the story is an awesome thing, which makes me love swtor. I play wow but I cannot say I love it, due to its disconnect from its own story within the game itself. Too much of it is 'off screen', which is why swtor is the superior game. It should never be like wow, with hardly any cutscenes, where, if you're 'lucky', your toon sits still like a doll, not adding anything to the story whatsoever, effectively being decoration.
I absolutely love this game and still play it. The class storylines are some of the best Star Wars content out there. All the stories are great and well written
A Note to 13:22 Satele is using a force abillity named Tutaminis. This power is mastered, it allows to transform energie (Blastershots, heat, lightsaber) into force energie. That`s why she is able to block the sword with bare hands and this is why her force push afterwards is so mighty that it destroys the half mountain behind Darth Malgus
@Catherine LaSalle when you liked this, you should try the cinematic trailer from "The Force Unleashed 2"
Man these trailers are everything, Star Wars the old republic is one of my favourite eras, you should totally Check out Kotor and Swtor
Whenever you can, you should seriously check out the Knights of the Old Republic 1 and 2 games. They're old but the writing is some of the best you have ever seen. Especially Kotor 2, which fleshed out the dark side for the first time in a big way. The Old Republic era is probably sitting next to the original trilogy for me.
This is lovely. I remember how great these trailers were coming out when I was still in high school. Glad to see people are still loving them.
I see you are a woman of culture. Thank you so much for your reaction to SWTOR you just made my day!
Congrats home skillet!!
hehehe home skillet
Also fun fact, after darth malgus takes over the jedi temple he kills his wife (the blue twilek that shows up with him) so he is left with no weaknesses.
Don't let anyone ever tell you that this was, "Just another MMO." This was released in Bioware's heyday, and the story lines in it are better than anything the movies/television series have told.
Hi. I just stumbled upon your channel and I am loving your reaction to these Cinematic trailers. Your expressions is what all of us had. This is the new best thing. :-)
I'd love to see an entire trilogy with Satele and her crew and them trying to put down Malgus and the Emperor.
If we can see Master Satele Shan in a series like mandolorian, i would fucking got crazy, she is very interesting and powerful
She’s been long gone way before the films took place... At least 3000 years before the films.
@@dar-nakkallig Specifically 3700 years. SInce SWTOR is set 300 years after KOTOR which is chronologically 4000 years before the SW movies.
HELL YES!!!
WE waited a long time, but now its here. The fights are great, the production, and so on. It's breathtaking!!!
The trailers involving the Twins and The little girl are part of a whole different faction who were attacking both Jedi and Sith and an interesting story
The audio has been tweeked from original cinematic. A channel called gamers little playground has made movies of each character arc if interested.
It warms my heart every time I see people reacting to Star Wars the old Republic, and what star wars really is.
How did I miss your reaction to these trailers!! Hope you and Tom are good and Tom my bearded brother! Hope you both have a good Christmas and New year
I think that the Old Republic era of Jedi used a larger variety of Sabers such as the double-bladed lightsaber because in that era, the Jedi were way more combat oriented and Knight-like so you had a lot more Jedi who were far more comfortable and acclimated to wielding a double-blade. I think it has a lot to do with the fact that the Jedi were constantly at war whether it be fighting Mandalorians or the Sith. It shows how much they changed during peace time because they could actually afford to be picky about what’s acceptable and what’s not. lol
I've always thought it was a plothole. Why would you train for 1000 years with swords when you never meet any foe with swords. Makes no sense. But looks dope.
Sure they could have learned to deflect blaster bolts. But fencing with another lightsaber ? Before the reveal of Darth Maul, there's simply no point in it.
@@luketimewalker That's honestly why so many Jedi are only average duelist, around the time of TPM and AOTC, and how much better they got through the Clone Wars and into ROTS.
@@luketimewalker Both Legends Canon and Disney canon have explained that. Lightsaber Combat became basically an exercise, symbol and form of meditation in the later years. Until Dooku. Dooku took saber combat very seriously and trained as if he were going to use it in fights which made him the best duelist in the Jedi and irked Yoda. Very convenient that it was His former apprentice and his apprentice that faced the Sith when they reveled themselves.
Yes, I'm so glad you finally got around to watching them!
Just as a recommendation, I think you should watch the original versions of the second trailer (Hope) and the third trailer (Deceived), the original dialogue is much better
Edit: If you're looking for more content from this era, the link I'm attaching will bring you to a video that records the reports of a Jedi Master which detail the events of this era and the centuries prior, it's great background info to help you understand more about what is going on. Not a requirement of course, but interesting if you've got some downtime, although be forewarned it contains a large spoiler for KOTOR if you haven't played it yet
czcams.com/video/KeboxMqdXdE/video.html
yeah, i can't stand the new dialogue. it just isn't the same.
The original dialog is far superior. No idea what they were thinking. Guess making changes to originals for the worse is nothing new in Star Wars.
@@pauls9985 The new dialogue was recorded as a means of making the player feel as if they were being talked to directly instead of as a voice over narration. Since the 2nd & 3rd trailers play before you start playing those particular factions.
They are by no means better, but that’s the reason, as I too prefer the original voice over.
Yeah they may not be in 4K (though they could be, I haven't looked for them) but the original dialog really is better.
I like when people see the rebuke ability being used to catch the light saber. It leaves most people confused. Yoda used the same ability to catch Palpatine's force lightning.
These cinematics are so freaking cool! Great reaction by the way. Keep up the great work. Just subscribed. ✌ from 🇨🇦
i get goose bumps every time the mother realises its her daughter at the end
These trailers were my hype during high school through college & the reason for getting myself extra lightsabers years ago!!
Amazing reaction there Cath! The Old Republic! Absolute Fire!
That first clip is still my favourite, the choreography for that lightsaber fight makes me so happy every time I watch it.
Happy 2021! So glad you finally got to see these! They are awesome and I want an Old Republic Movie or series so badly. Congrats to 100 videos! It's an honor being an OG subscriber and to see you grow from your first video to your 100th!
Happy 100!

and this is why we've wanted old republic films for years now, the possibilities...
The old republic is full of material and I absolutely love it all the audio books,games even the channels on here that break down comics and theories
"Suh-teal" is hands down my favorite jedi Just because of that battle with malgus I've watched these cinematics like at least 10 times and I have a smile EVERYTIME. glad you reacted and you are now cultured lol.
