Blur Studios is easily my favorite animation studio, they also did Modern Warfare's cutscenes, Halo 2 Anniversary, and they're also the creators of Love, Death, Robots!
I agree the sequels could’ve been amazing if they’re gone to the fans to create it and not done it themselves any one of the writers for the extended universe would’ve done great
The shock and sheer terror on Arcann's face when he snaps out of his dark side frenzy and realizes what he's done... I just can't. Parents pitting their chidren against one another is fucking heartbreaking.
Come on man... The trailer was pretty clear... As Vitiate said: "...you will have nothing.[...] Your entitlement, the pain you endure." Arcann was simply sick of the way Vitiate scoffs at the losses they took. Flies into a frenzy to show him the weight of the losses, only to be thought this weight by Vitiate, without even raising an eyebrow. The weight of losing your brother, to your own hands.
I absolutely adore the concept of the Eternal Empire. Just the way they came out of nowhere and stomped both the Jedi and the Sith at the same time is so cool. Plus the armor design for the Knights of Zakuul is so refreshing when compared to thousands of years of 'just copy the Mandalorians'.
@@Ahzuv They literally come out of nowhere during the ongoing conflicts of the Old Republic and Sith Empire. The Eternal Empire were in the Unknown Region, a huge area of space that still haven't explored. This vast region of space were full of treacherous anomalies that can endanger the lives for those going blind in hyperspeed. Add up that there are no mapped hyperspace routes, roadmaps that helped in navigating through the galaxy.
@@AhzuvOP is saying that they appeared out of nowhere from the perspective of the main factions we’ve been fighting against/alongside. They are obviously not implying that they appeared out of thin air.
@@username1660 These videos give us a glimpse of what could have been done if Disney had bothered to spend even 5 minutes going over the established material instead of deciding to throw it all away and trying to pull off a soft reboot. So yeah, I'm a little salty.
What truly breaks my heart is the way Thexan could have slammed Arcann into a wall but instead chose to pull him back to his side. You can see when Arcann lands that Thexan didn't draw his saber until Arcann spun and attacked him! Such a tragedy
I've seen this trailer a lot of times, but i had never noticed that, in the moment that Arcann attacks Darth Vitiate and we see him turning his back on his son... he smiles. It's almost imperceptible, but his mouth changes a bit as he is perfectly conscious that one of his sons has finally fell in complete darkness
possessed by Darth Vitiate Vitiate disappeared in the aftermath of the Ziost massacre, only to reappear as Valkorion, the leader of a hidden Eternal Empire in Wild Space. Unbeknownst to the rest of the galaxy, Vitiate had spent the last several centuries forging a new society on the planet Zakuul, and even had three children, Arcann, Thexan, and Vaylin.
I think too he was happy one of his sons finally showed ambition. He seemed disappointed they relied on each other throughout their struggles. But, in that moment one of them finally acted on their own. In the aftermath it's the only time we ever hear him acknowledge one of them as his son. The symbolism is also great with Acann always being helped up by Thexan, but in his final moments, Thexan reaches out to Arcann only to have his hand slip out of his.
@@Vanom. What will always intrigue me is what would Valkorion have done if BOTH of his sons had fallen and tried to kill him? Would he accept them both? Or continue to pit one against the other until only one was left?
@@antonyduhamel1166 I think it depends on if they acted alone or together. If they co-operated, I feel he would have still been disappointed. However, even if they did act out separately, while he wouldn't be disappointed, it would be inevitable that they strike out against each other as their ambition grows. Whether or not Valkorion would wait that long or lend a helping hand to stoke the flames we may never know.
It's kind of why I do like The Acolyte. I feel it is inspired from KoToR I and II as well as SWTOR. I get that it's not popular online to like The Acolyte, but I do.
@@jamster8764 I didn't say it was inspirational. I feel that the Old Republic games have influenced the development of The Acolyte. I'm enjoying it so far and hope it continues to deliver for me at least.
2:16 I like how Thexan gives an uncomfortable look at his brother, he seems worried as he's sensing the darkness grow in him. After losing his arm and getting his face burned, Arcann became more ruthless and merciless. Thexan didn't like it.
Thexan seems to be strongest when defending his brother. I don't think he cared much for his dad but he did not expect Arcann to kill him while he was defending his dad.
3:11 after some parries, he held his own Lightsaber up as if in hoping just to merely stop him but Arcann was blinded by rage so much, he struck him down.
I am a twin (irl) with a father it seems too that could never be proud of his sons. what we did was never enough. it puts tears in my eyes everytime i watch this trailer. Extremely powerful and one of the most powerful crushing cinematics for SW.
Sabine was the last semi plausible one. She was very close to a major city not in a war zone so made sense she survived. Other than that yeah we need more limbs and heads getting lopped off.
@@МаксимРасторгуев-ь2м well... You know that guy from a more civilized age, what was his name again... Luke Skywalker. In this obscure niche movie "empire strikes back" he got his hand cut off with a lightsaber, Dropped down in a bottomless pit and survived, actually
I agree it should be a movie but saying these digital character models with zero dialogue are actors is just silly. One of the biggest problems with the new movies is their dialogue and that isn't an actor's fault, it's the writers. The best actors on earth can only do so much with a shit script.
its crazy how much potential is in the expanded universe. just imagine if they did a full length movie that's based on this or literally just this. absolutely amazing
If they did it and managed to pull it off successfully it would probably make millions if not more. Because it would show how much more terrifying the sith at their peak used to be. Palpatine pales in comparison to the likes of the Sith of old. Vitiate made him look like an amateur comparatively, he did run his empire effectively I’ve actually looked into that because I’m a nerd. He ran it fairly effectively all things considered.
Disney: “Nope, none of that ever happened!” The Fans: “But this happens long before the Battle of Yavin!” Disney: *Handwaves* “It never happened. It’s not Canon.” The Fans: *Enthralled by Mind Trick* “It never happened. It’s not Canon.” #darthmickey
Always loved how Thexan is portrayed as the superior of the twins. He was better in the arena, built his lightsaber first and didn't get half his body blown up in war. But he was also more compassionate and loyal, to Arcaan especially, and that was what got him killed when he put himself between his brother and Valkorion.
@@crystallxix1493 And his brother, being good, never imagined that Arcaan would ever strike him down. He, himself wasn't trying to kill Arcaan, he was only trying to stop him from doing something he'd regret. Probably thought he could calm him down/talk some sense into him right until he took that lightsaber through the midsection.
One very cool touch is that, despite Thexan being the one with "Sith black", he's never dirty or has tears in his outfits while Arcaan is visibly dirty, full of dust and obviously his huge injury in battle. Thexan, despite being the superior twin and the more "Sith-like", was the one with Jedi levels of being calm and collected.
@@AzureRoxe it's always hard to tell where SW stands on "is black the bad guys' color?" because Luke in RotJ shows up in all black when he's supposed to be peak good guy.
@@jasonboone4908 Luke's dream told us that he was not so sure himself that he would be able to NOT fall into the dark side, like his father did. He end up being the peak good guy, but that wasn't that obvious during Empire Strikes Back.
This is my favorite one right here, everything from the symbolism to the mini story is AMAZING. The fact that they did stuff like this and it's timeless, especially considering the recent fiasco movie wise, i want to thank Bioware for making this possible all those years back.
@@astrobookwormsinger the most obvious one is how they purposely make the characters wear black and White and since black is associated with the dark side everyone ln their first view were thinking about how that guy would turn but in the end it was the other way around, the "light" guy turned and killed his brother, showing how the darkside can corrupt everyone, it's a pretty cool way to tell a story
Easily the best Star Wars cinematic ever made. I still nearly form tears when the brothers eyes go from Sith back to normal when he realizes what it is he has done.
I'm here after the third episode of The Acolyte to cleanse my pallet of whatever god awful dribble I just witnessed. This 4:12 trailer has a better story than that show could ever hope to achieve.
@@SirDankleberry Who's the one to actually defeat the Jedi Order and the Republic again? Palps had the whole galaxy dancing in his old, wrinkly palms. People seem to forget that.
Orchestrated by Vitiate. He tore the brothers apart to see which one would come out on top. At least, that's what I believe. Arcann was always eager to please his father and earn his approval, while Thexan cared far less about that. He was loyal, sure, but he wasn't craving any affection or praise from Vitiate. The bond he had with his brother was enough for him. Vitiate gave them a life of war, fighting and constant strife and the brothers coped with all of it, because they had each other. The only chink in their armor was Arcann's desperate need for Vitiate's approval. And so Vitiate purposely denied him that. He pushed them further and further until finally Arcann snapped and lashed out... at the wrong target. His rage was aimed at Vitiate, but redirected to Thexan and he struck him down in a fit of rage. And in so doing, he removed the only positive and stabilizing influence he had in his life. His own brother, who had always been there for him, in his darkest moments. Now he was gone at the hands of Arcann himself and all he has left is the darkness. WIthout Thexan, his last remaining blip of light is gone and Vitiate is free to play him like a puppet without interference from anyone or anything that can threaten that control.
This was clearly made by people who cared and adored Star Wars as much as we did. Now, *sigh*, Star Wars is run by Disney. Ever since they let politics influence their production, their quality has quickly degraded, and they wonder why no one will watch their products anymore. And yet, they blame us, the fans, for why the show got the reception it did.
The quote: "Your freedom will be the wars you wage" resonates with me in a special way. I've been suffering from depression for a long time. And every day i wake up and begin another war against my mind. At the end of the day when i chosen not to give up i feel a little bit more free. This quote inspires me to fight another day.
I love that you can see Valkorian smile at 3:04 and then you see his Sith eyes at 3:46. Brilliant little details like this make these trailers better than the sequel trilogy.
SWTOR trailers, and this one in particular, are true classics and I'm glad to see justice done to them with these remasters. With but a few minutes and scenes, they better encapsulate the spirit of Star Wars than most main line SW movies.
Recall how you felt watching this for the first time and then imagine it's a special prelude to an upcoming Star Wars film. No need for big names or the resurrection of characters to compensate for mediocre storytelling. Just imaginative visuals, an original, new faction, and emotionally gripping, poetic storytelling. Young fans would immediately know the difference between it and "You're his granddaughter."
@@Confusion7182 And it wasn't to compensate for mediocre storytelling. It was foreshadowed by Vitiate's silence over the years and was an interesting twist. At this point in the story, he had only returned once. My bubble is fine.

I believe there are factors that would prove the case as to why these twins are better: ▪︎The writing and its tone. ▪︎The very setting itself from a chronological standpoint, as the events from the trailer were likely set before Darth Bane's Rule of Two.
One of the best mini films/trailers ever made. It tells so much in just 4 minutes and 13 seconds, and it makes you feel so many emotions. It's amazing.
Anyone else notice the detail of when their hands are slipping from eachother they shrink, visualized in the end as childrens hands, to signify the loss off innocence? Absolutely amazing.
the scene at 1:46 makes it more sad because the arms grabbing each other shows how strong their relationship is, but in 3:29 his arms are slipping as he died and their relationship was broken.
I've watched these cinematics so many times...for 10 years I've played this game over and over...replaying classes...because it's Just. THAT. GOOD. No other game has made me lose track of time and not care that my work day starts with so little sleep. I am very much looking forward to the next expansion!
sacrifice is such a sad story because you can tell arcann was trying to please his father the sith emperor and it got to a point that well his rage took control of him and he lost basically his brother which was technically accident at least in my opinion.
@@AzureRoxe indeed and honestly as a fan of Anakin at least from the clone wars animated series its very interesting seeing arcann Journey from sort of a hero? into basically a monster.
@@danielmotales3420 that’s true yes but they were still trained by the sith emperor who during this time took a new identity and made a new empire called the eternal empire which took down both the republic and the sith empire in one fell swoop.
Every time someone tells me they are enjoying anything Star Wars made by Disney, I point them to this trailer and KotET trailers to remind them what good Star Wars actually is.
@@kecksbelit3300 No it is not. It is average at the best of times. People got so used to garbage from Disney they have forgotten what is good. Show was hurting so bad the suddenly started bringing in a SHIT TON of established characters to help it out and Disney still is actively blocking viewership tracking so no one knows how few are actually watching their content. Only other streaming service that does that is Amazon while the established companies like HBO, WB. CBS all go out of their way to help groups like Nielsen make sure they can tell everyone how many are watching.
This is the cinematic that got me to buy a subscription and play through the story. Still probably some of the most fun I've had with any MMO even though i did it all solo
He smiled because he sensed the brother (thexan) about to stop him (Arcaan) this is what the dad (Valkorian) wanted all along. He wanted to see who was better, he didn’t want the brothers to work together.
an almost 10 year old, 4 minute trailer had more engagement and better character development than 4 episodes of a show developed by the biggest entertainment giant in the world.
Can you imagine seeing this for the first time and then a decade later you hear about another Star Wars story involving twins, and that story is the Acolyte? Man
That game deserves a 10/10 just for it’s storylines and cinematic cutscenes. It just so happens that there’s also a great game going on. My first “big moment” years ago in the game was the Revan reveal in the “Foundry” flashpoint. I love watching it still today.
The symbolism of hands in this cinematic is so cool. I love the repeated examples of the brothers helping one another up, and the one in black clasping the arm of the one in white during his agony on the battlefield. When the brother in white looks down at his bionic hand, he looks quite literally at all he has sacrificed for this man, supposedly a father, and righteously lashes out. The shot of the brothers’ letting go of each other as one of them dies at the “hand” of the other brought tears to my eyes. Only then does this bastard feel that the boy has earned the slightest bit of approval. Only then does he reach out his hand and acknowledge the boy as his son. As if to say, “I’m all you have left.” It’s just so powerful and brilliant.
Anyone know where to find the Soundtrack of this trailer? I've been trying to find it for years. Has it been released anywhere? Especially the theme at 2:22
2:50 He doesn't have to say anything but I can hear exactly what's going through his mind " All of my soldiers I lost.. " " All the battles I fought in your name.. " " The arm and half my face that I lost.." " And you have the AUDACITY TO TURN AWAY?! "
I'm not the biggest fan of the whole Eternal Empire/Valkorion thing but these trailers are all incredibly cool and are infinitely better than anything Disney has put out in the last 8 years.
Incorrect. Depending on which three movies. If you mean the last three made the. I would disagree Han Solo wasn’t the worst, rogue one was awesome and the clone wars movie was decent. If your talking about main story though the prequels weren’t really that bad.
Can we appreciate the artists and animators work in this? It's visually stunning, and the body language/facial expressions, are all spot on and tell the story without needing any context

The KOTFE/KOTET story is one of the best pieces of Star Wars storytelling I have ever witnessed. I will admit I wasn't that big of a fan of the feel and look and all that in regards to the story, but that was back before the only piece of SWTOR I had consumed was videos on RUclips of other people playing it and these cinematic trailers. Once I finally took a character through these expansions, I was completely blown away and dragged into the story. It was the first time while playing SWTOR where I felt the scale of the vents taking place and actually felt like I was fighting a galaxy-wide war.
The only issue with the expansions here is that if you play as a non force user it doesn't really make sense. Except that, amazing story and characters.
this trailer is a masterpiece, it breaks my heart in a good way that there are people as talented, creative and passionate as the people who created this

I've seen this trailer a lot of times, but i had never noticed that, in the moment that Arcann attacks Darth Vitiate and we see him turning his back on his son... he smiles.
It's almost imperceptible, but his mouth changes a bit as he is perfectly conscious that one of his sons has finally fell in complete darkness
possessed by Darth Vitiate
Vitiate disappeared in the aftermath of the Ziost massacre, only to reappear as Valkorion, the leader of a hidden Eternal Empire in Wild Space. Unbeknownst to the rest of the galaxy, Vitiate had spent the last several centuries forging a new society on the planet Zakuul, and even had three children, Arcann, Thexan, and Vaylin.
I think too he was happy one of his sons finally showed ambition. He seemed disappointed they relied on each other throughout their struggles. But, in that moment one of them finally acted on their own. In the aftermath it's the only time we ever hear him acknowledge one of them as his son. The symbolism is also great with Acann always being helped up by Thexan, but in his final moments, Thexan reaches out to Arcann only to have his hand slip out of his.
@@Vanom. What will always intrigue me is what would Valkorion have done if BOTH of his sons had fallen and tried to kill him? Would he accept them both? Or continue to pit one against the other until only one was left?
@@antonyduhamel1166 I think it depends on if they acted alone or together. If they co-operated, I feel he would have still been disappointed. However, even if they did act out separately, while he wouldn't be disappointed, it would be inevitable that they strike out against each other as their ambition grows. Whether or not Valkorion would wait that long or lend a helping hand to stoke the flames we may never know.
This is the twin story we deserved than the acolyte
Came here to find these comments, you said it my guy!
I have to keep coming back here to remember that there was once good Old Republic content.
It's kind of why I do like The Acolyte. I feel it is inspired from KoToR I and II as well as SWTOR. I get that it's not popular online to like The Acolyte, but I do.
@@drafalkdraven1059 there is nothing inspirational about the Acolyte, and it's really quite unfortunate.
@@jamster8764 I didn't say it was inspirational. I feel that the Old Republic games have influenced the development of The Acolyte. I'm enjoying it so far and hope it continues to deliver for me at least.
2:16 I like how Thexan gives an uncomfortable look at his brother, he seems worried as he's sensing the darkness grow in him. After losing his arm and getting his face burned, Arcann became more ruthless and merciless. Thexan didn't like it.
Thexan seems to be strongest when defending his brother. I don't think he cared much for his dad but he did not expect Arcann to kill him while he was defending his dad.
As always, after striking down his brother, the sheer emotion Arcann projects with just one eye…
It glares yellow, but then fades away as he realizes what he did. then it cuts to Valk, whose eyes just stay that way
Absolutely mind blowing how effective that moment was
3:11 after some parries, he held his own Lightsaber up as if in hoping just to merely stop him but Arcann was blinded by rage so much, he struck him down.
The horror and lack of self control, he killed his twin reflection.
Horrific.

One of the most powerful and memorable Star Wars trailers that I have ever seen. Always felt strong sorrow for what occurs between the two.
So did I
Strong sorry , it is you feel
There is no excuse for killing a brother..maybe i take take to serous^^
This would be a good trailer for a Playstation 4 game. Movie? What a joke.
@@ast4127 Oh but the new sequels are better in your opinion I take it?
I am a twin (irl) with a father it seems too that could never be proud of his sons. what we did was never enough. it puts tears in my eyes everytime i watch this trailer. Extremely powerful and one of the most powerful crushing cinematics for SW.
I am really sorry to hear that. Your Father should have appreciated your efforts. God bless you!
Considering being a mother of domincano and Puerto Rican heritage
Just do what they did in this trailer and just maybe your father will be proud of you.
don't go to the dark side buddy
and may the force be with you
Give into your hate, only then will the power of the dark side be strong with you.... and you can unlock mangekyo sharingan.
Remember when lightsabers killed people?
🤣😆 ...was good times then.
Sabine was the last semi plausible one.
She was very close to a major city not in a war zone so made sense she survived.
Other than that yeah we need more limbs and heads getting lopped off.

@@МаксимРасторгуев-ь2м well... You know that guy from a more civilized age, what was his name again... Luke Skywalker. In this obscure niche movie "empire strikes back" he got his hand cut off with a lightsaber, Dropped down in a bottomless pit and survived, actually

@@AdmiralSnowy What sequels? star wars only have 1~6 movie , oh and Rogue One
Don't know why they don't turn this into a movie. The characters on this are better actors than most real life actors.
I agree it should be a movie but saying these digital character models with zero dialogue are actors is just silly. One of the biggest problems with the new movies is their dialogue and that isn't an actor's fault, it's the writers. The best actors on earth can only do so much with a shit script.
Yeah I liked how they had that one expression the whole time and didn't say anything. Acting
@Jamal Garland It's Legends until Filoni adds them to the lore once again.
They're animated so it's much easier to emote dramatically
Simple. Too many white males. Now make them twin sisters fighting for their mother's approval and you might get somewhere with today's Hollywood.
Darin DePaul’s voice is like butter.
What an amazing voice actor, Valkorion was just such a great character.
His voice is easily the reason why Valkorion is one of my all time fav Star Wars character. His voice alone tempts me to side with him in the game.
Doug Bradley and Darin DePaul absolutely nailed the Sith Emporer in each incarnation he was in.
@@Nephalem2002 So did Anthony Skordi in Echoes.
He also did voice acting for Ardyn Izunia in Final Fantasy 15, Now I know why I found Ardyn and Valkorian both compelling and great villians.
Blur employees are the best.
0:50 The little elbow he throws to his brother melts my heart
its crazy how much potential is in the expanded universe. just imagine if they did a full length movie that's based on this or literally just this. absolutely amazing
If they did it and managed to pull it off successfully it would probably make millions if not more. Because it would show how much more terrifying the sith at their peak used to be. Palpatine pales in comparison to the likes of the Sith of old. Vitiate made him look like an amateur comparatively, he did run his empire effectively I’ve actually looked into that because I’m a nerd. He ran it fairly effectively all things considered.
Disney: “Nope, none of that ever happened!”
The Fans: “But this happens long before the Battle of Yavin!”
Disney: *Handwaves* “It never happened. It’s not Canon.”

Watching this masterpiece after Acolyte EP 3...
Always loved how Thexan is portrayed as the superior of the twins. He was better in the arena, built his lightsaber first and didn't get half his body blown up in war.
But he was also more compassionate and loyal, to Arcaan especially, and that was what got him killed when he put himself between his brother and Valkorion.
His brother probably tipped into the dark side in that moment which gave him an edge
@@crystallxix1493 And his brother, being good, never imagined that Arcaan would ever strike him down. He, himself wasn't trying to kill Arcaan, he was only trying to stop him from doing something he'd regret. Probably thought he could calm him down/talk some sense into him right until he took that lightsaber through the midsection.
One very cool touch is that, despite Thexan being the one with "Sith black", he's never dirty or has tears in his outfits while Arcaan is visibly dirty, full of dust and obviously his huge injury in battle.
Thexan, despite being the superior twin and the more "Sith-like", was the one with Jedi levels of being calm and collected.
@@AzureRoxe it's always hard to tell where SW stands on "is black the bad guys' color?" because Luke in RotJ shows up in all black when he's supposed to be peak good guy.
@@jasonboone4908 Luke's dream told us that he was not so sure himself that he would be able to NOT fall into the dark side, like his father did.
He end up being the peak good guy, but that wasn't that obvious during Empire Strikes Back.
This is my favorite one right here, everything from the symbolism to the mini story is AMAZING. The fact that they did stuff like this and it's timeless, especially considering the recent fiasco movie wise, i want to thank Bioware for making this possible all those years back.

Didn't expect to see Harkyn here.
What symbolisms did you pick up on?
@@astrobookwormsinger the most obvious one is how they purposely make the characters wear black and White and since black is associated with the dark side everyone ln their first view were thinking about how that guy would turn but in the end it was the other way around, the "light" guy turned and killed his brother, showing how the darkside can corrupt everyone, it's a pretty cool way to tell a story
Easily the best Star Wars cinematic ever made. I still nearly form tears when the brothers eyes go from Sith back to normal when he realizes what it is he has done.
How can a 4 minute Trailer has better storytelling than the entire sequel trilogy?
Because they actually put all the efforts in the right areas
It was made by Star Wars fans and talented people. Not activists.
I'm here after the third episode of The Acolyte to cleanse my pallet of whatever god awful dribble I just witnessed. This 4:12 trailer has a better story than that show could ever hope to achieve.
Here's hoping acolyte flops
Vitiate: *becomes canon*
Sidious: why do I hear boss music?

@@LOLHAMMER45678 Lol Palpatine didn't win, he got thrown down a shaft by an old cripple.
@@SirDankleberry Who's the one to actually defeat the Jedi Order and the Republic again? Palps had the whole galaxy dancing in his old, wrinkly palms. People seem to forget that.
Orchestrated by Vitiate. He tore the brothers apart to see which one would come out on top. At least, that's what I believe.
Arcann was always eager to please his father and earn his approval, while Thexan cared far less about that. He was loyal, sure, but he wasn't craving any affection or praise from Vitiate. The bond he had with his brother was enough for him. Vitiate gave them a life of war, fighting and constant strife and the brothers coped with all of it, because they had each other. The only chink in their armor was Arcann's desperate need for Vitiate's approval. And so Vitiate purposely denied him that. He pushed them further and further until finally Arcann snapped and lashed out... at the wrong target. His rage was aimed at Vitiate, but redirected to Thexan and he struck him down in a fit of rage. And in so doing, he removed the only positive and stabilizing influence he had in his life. His own brother, who had always been there for him, in his darkest moments. Now he was gone at the hands of Arcann himself and all he has left is the darkness. WIthout Thexan, his last remaining blip of light is gone and Vitiate is free to play him like a puppet without interference from anyone or anything that can threaten that control.

And you and I both know Disney would ruin it. As they always do.
@@ReveredDead that they probably would
Oh how I’ve missed these trailers. The uploading of them again in 4K has been a true highlight of the past week. I hope they do a new one soon.
I miss when Star Wars was good. Remember when lightsaber wounds couldn't be walked off?
Or a lightsaber would actually cut off a limb?
This was clearly made by people who cared and adored Star Wars as much as we did. Now, *sigh*, Star Wars is run by Disney. Ever since they let politics influence their production, their quality has quickly degraded, and they wonder why no one will watch their products anymore. And yet, they blame us, the fans, for why the show got the reception it did.
The quote: "Your freedom will be the wars you wage" resonates with me in a special way. I've been suffering from depression for a long time.

As a twin, this was one of the most emotional things I’ve seen on youtube

SWTOR trailers, and this one in particular, are true classics and I'm glad to see justice done to them with these remasters. With but a few minutes and scenes, they better encapsulate the spirit of Star Wars than most main line SW movies.
This is story telling at it's finest. Yet we get the Acolyte.
The twins we deserved but instead we got Acolyte
The twins we deserved but instead we got "the power on one, the power of twoooo... the power of maaaaany"
Still gives me the chills when Valkorion is staring down with his sith eyes at the end
It’s like the Goosebumps preludes.. besides the point but raw-dogging 😂
Recall how you felt watching this for the first time and then imagine it's a special prelude to an upcoming Star Wars film. No need for big names or the resurrection of characters to compensate for mediocre storytelling. Just imaginative visuals, an original, new faction, and emotionally gripping, poetic storytelling. Young fans would immediately know the difference between it and "You're his granddaughter."
I’m so sorry to burst your bubble, but Valkorion _is_ a revival of a previous big bad.
(Poe voice) Somehow, Vitiate returned…
_Twice._
@@Confusion7182 And it wasn't to compensate for mediocre storytelling. It was foreshadowed by Vitiate's silence over the years and was an interesting twist. At this point in the story, he had only returned once. My bubble is fine.

These twins > The Acolyte twins
I believe there are factors that would prove the case as to why these twins are better:
▪︎The writing and its tone.
▪︎The very setting itself from a chronological standpoint, as the events from the trailer were likely set before Darth Bane's Rule of Two.
I was looking for this comment lol
Bruh, please don't compare this masterpiece to that fucking garbage. It's an insult to Star Wars.

I love the quick look of focus and anger to regret and horror in Arcanns eye after slicing his brother
The score from 3:13-3:31 is so sad yet beautiful
By any chance, do you know its name?
This has always been my favorite of these shorts.
One of the best mini films/trailers ever made. It tells so much in just 4 minutes and 13 seconds, and it makes you feel so many emotions. It's amazing.
When his eyes go back to normal and he realizes what he just did is still heartbreaking to this day
What a weak minded pssy he was. THEXAN was the real g bc he never cared. "Only the weak would fall to the darkside" - obi wan
@@insultlk Well he underestimated how crazy his brother was. Pretty sure it was his WTF moment when his brother attacked him.
Anyone else notice the detail of when their hands are slipping from eachother they shrink, visualized in the end as childrens hands, to signify the loss off innocence? Absolutely amazing.
the scene at 1:46 makes it more sad because the arms grabbing each other shows how strong their relationship is, but in 3:29 his arms are slipping as he died and their relationship was broken.
i dont get how Disney has not decided to try anything with these creators. No other piece of star wars has ever had such unanimous love
I've watched these cinematics so many times...for 10 years I've played this game over and over...replaying classes...because it's Just. THAT. GOOD. No other game has made me lose track of time and not care that my work day starts with so little sleep. I am very much looking forward to the next expansion!
sacrifice is such a sad story because you can tell arcann was trying to please his father the sith emperor and it got to a point that well his rage took control of him and he lost basically his brother which was technically accident at least in my opinion.
Which obviously mirrors Anakin's journey, even down to the fact that him losing himself to the Dark Side cost him someone dear.

Same.
An all time fave, they express so much through their eyes.
This is the cinematic that got me to buy a subscription and play through the story.
Still probably some of the most fun I've had with any MMO even though i did it all solo
I'm more interested in this 4 minute trailer than anything from The Acolyte right now
3:08 HOLD ON DID THE DAD JUST LIGHTLY SMILE AS HE WAS ABOUT TO BE CUT DOWN??!?
He smiled because he sensed the brother (thexan) about to stop him (Arcaan) this is what the dad (Valkorian) wanted all along. He wanted to see who was better, he didn’t want the brothers to work together.
Holy cow I did not notice that till now🤯
This is one of the coolest pieces of Starwars cinematography that i've EVER seen. Incredible
The storytelling in this is so masterfully done, even after 7 years I still enjoy re-watching it.
This is the story we deserve.
Watched this over 5 yrs ago and its still lit😢
an almost 10 year old, 4 minute trailer had more engagement and better character development than 4 episodes of a show developed by the biggest entertainment giant in the world.
Can you imagine seeing this for the first time and then a decade later you hear about another Star Wars story involving twins, and that story is the Acolyte? Man
That game deserves a 10/10 just for it’s storylines and cinematic cutscenes. It just so happens that there’s also a great game going on.
My first “big moment” years ago in the game was the Revan reveal in the “Foundry” flashpoint. I love watching it still today.
Disney: Here's Rey, she's awesome, you'll love her!
TOR: Thats cute, now lets get to business.....
@Jim Mikulsky Kylo & Rey was a horrible decision from TLJ that continued into TROS. It should've stay Kylo vs Finn & Rey like how it was in TFA.
Came here to remind myself what real star wars could be like and an actual good twin story within 4 mins, after not even watching Acolyte.
The symbolism of hands in this cinematic is so cool. I love the repeated examples of the brothers helping one another up, and the one in black clasping the arm of the one in white during his agony on the battlefield. When the brother in white looks down at his bionic hand, he looks quite literally at all he has sacrificed for this man, supposedly a father, and righteously lashes out. The shot of the brothers’ letting go of each other as one of them dies at the “hand” of the other brought tears to my eyes.
Only then does this bastard feel that the boy has earned the slightest bit of approval. Only then does he reach out his hand and acknowledge the boy as his son. As if to say, “I’m all you have left.”
It’s just so powerful and brilliant.
This 4 minutes trailer had a better story than the last 3 trilogy
Certainly did
Who else came here after Acoshite?
Me 😂
These were the twins we deserved 😢
yup 100%
They're planning a "show" for the Old Republic as well so don't hold your breath
I was here before Disney took over. I actually understand the context of this trailer.
Coming here after watching Star Wars Acolyte because god I need real Star Wars

This four minute video has more depth to it than the entire Acolyte series!
Facts!
The eternal empire was terrifying they were so strong they put both the Jedi and the Sith on their knees
This is how you do a good and evil twin story. SWTOR told a better story in 4 minutes than the acolyte did in over 8 hours.
Love watching Arcann's eyes go yellow with the Dark Side, then flash back to blue when he realizes what he's done
180m budget for The Acolyte we got "the power of manyyy" twin and some random bullshit. Here in the old republic we got legendary twin story.
Of all the old republic trailers this one hits you hardest.
How in four minutes can a better story be achieved than in the whole Acolyte backstory bs of today.
It's sad how a video game cinematic has better writing, cinematography, and soul than the $200+ million dollar series The Acolyte.
If the Acolyte writers literally watched this trailer, they could’ve made it better show smh
Anyone know where to find the Soundtrack of this trailer? I've been trying to find it for years. Has it been released anywhere? Especially the theme at 2:22
Dam I know that feeling, hearing a sick background tune that's really obscure and waiting years for someone to randomly mention where it's from
@@vEcTeRbl00d Same... :/
This is still peak.
its true
And compare this to Acolyte or anything Disney made
It’s not even comparable
2:50 He doesn't have to say anything but I can hear exactly what's going through his mind
" All of my soldiers I lost.. "
" All the battles I fought in your name.. "
" The arm and half my face that I lost.."
" And you have the AUDACITY TO TURN AWAY?! "
I'm not the biggest fan of the whole Eternal Empire/Valkorion thing but these trailers are all incredibly cool and are infinitely better than anything Disney has put out in the last 8 years.
3 minutes of writing that's better than in last 3 movies of star wars.

Better than anything Disney ever has or ever will produce with Star Wars.
Came back here after watching the latest The Acolyte episode
Same
Can we appreciate the artists and animators work in this? It's visually stunning, and the body language/facial expressions, are all spot on and tell the story without needing any context

A man can have anything... If his willing to sacrifice, gives goosebumps
The KOTFE/KOTET story is one of the best pieces of Star Wars storytelling I have ever witnessed. I will admit I wasn't that big of a fan of the feel and look and all that in regards to the story, but that was back before the only piece of SWTOR I had consumed was videos on RUclips of other people playing it and these cinematic trailers. Once I finally took a character through these expansions, I was completely blown away and dragged into the story. It was the first time while playing SWTOR where I felt the scale of the vents taking place and actually felt like I was fighting a galaxy-wide war.
Finally someone who likes the Knights expansions, so many people hate them. They're the masterpieces of SWTOR.
The only issue with the expansions here is that if you play as a non force user it doesn't really make sense. Except that, amazing story and characters.
Alright I’m waiting for the legacy of the sith cinematic now
2:43 Did you notice Arcann had Malgus' lightsaber?
then thexan has ven's
This is a better twin story than the one from the Acolyte
More emotion, tension, forshadowing in 4 minutes than Disney has every produced in Star Wars.
sadness now in 4k!
I love this animatic so much, this is one of many reasons why Arcann is almost on top of my favourite characters in swtor:)
Eternal throne saga is pure tragedy and drama, and im super ok with that
Yes😭 this entire family owns my soul. I love the Knights expansions.
SPOILER BELOW!
Having the “good” twin wear black and the “bad” twin wear white was a great decision. Simple…but great!
4 min of what is better Writing the what star wars acolyte could ever wish to accomplish or just Disney period
this trailer is a masterpiece, it breaks my heart in a good way that there are people as talented, creative and passionate as the people who created this
