"The Sith have better drip" reminds me of one of my favourite lines of the game. One of the Jedi Knight companions, Kira, says at one point 'Have you seen what the Sith are wearing? It's like every fashion designer in the galaxy went over to the dark side."
@@MarcelJ. It's one of the lines she says in random places rather than in any conversation/cutscene. I got it on Tatooine whilst freeing the pirates slaves in Anchorhead Spaceport.
Malgus is one of the most interesting characters in the Old Republic Era. Starting out as your quintessential Sith Warrior, he grew embittered towards the Sith Empire for making concessions with the Republic and allowing the Jedi to survive following the sacking of Coruscant (the third trailer). Eventually having enough with the how the Empire was being mismanaged he leads a coup to try and take over himself and though that fails it puts him on a path where he really isn't on either side. He fundamentally hates the Jedi order but the Sith have also screwed him over so much that he can't support them either.
@@Guardian582 the Sith Warrior is his or her own person that you play Malus is a Lord you can work with, the twilek you see is completely different from vette. In my opinion, that makes a Sith warrior stronger than him, because the warrior realizes that love is not a weakness and can be a source of strength. (I played a light side warrior)
@vominomi to be fair, I said I only played light side warrior. I’m going to bet that the dark side warrior would focus on more of the obsessive aspects of love, like Anakin. anyway there are many reasons why the warrior is so powerful and this is just one of them
it’s a half truth, and that is where the seduction part of the dark side comes in the dark side sounds right, but it’s not, it’s just more easy, deceptive but alluring.
@@mckenzie.latham91 no it actually was true. Malgus wasn't aligned with the sith empire at the time and as such had no motivation to be preaching their doctrine; in fact, quite the opposite. He was jaded and resented both sides and what he was saying logically, canonically, and truthfully was valid for both sides.
@@K-3619 Malgus is still a sith, He doesn't adhere to the sith leadership or empire authority But he still follows the dark side and uses it for his own ends Much of what he tells Shaen is to distract her not cause he actually cares And he even uses the holcron visions as a way to distract her so he can kill her master The whole "break free" and go your own way, is a means to cause disruption and chaos Imagine if every sith and every jedi were rogue and everyone was fighting each other and everyone else Unending civil wars and conflicts where all sides and their allies and factions are non stop Warring and competing agaisnt each other To see whose plans and unrestricted actions could serve up the galaxy as slaves to their chosen world order Impossible. Malgus literally wanted to exterminate all of the Republic after taking Courescant and because the sith emlire wasn't willing at the moment to commit galaxy wide genocide and enslavement of all Republic worlds and life He grew dissatisfied with them. Wow such compelling evidence for truth Only a few sith and a few Jedi ever posssessed the ability to walk their own or a rogue path And their actions often actually scarred and changed things with very little ever getting better. Nothing stopped the sith, they continued on Nothing stopped the jedi, even after Sideous and Vader, jedi still survived The republic, the Sith empire, the galactic empire, the New republic These all came fell and orncame to be regardless of Malgus or anyone else.
There was another Sith emperor in the old republic. Vitiate. A Jedi knight defeated him. He returned. He had another empire that even the Sith didn't know about. In that empire he was known as Valkorion. The twins were his sons.
"Is she blocking it with her hand?!" Yep. That's the Force Power Tutaminis (Energy Absorption). Same thing that Vader used on Cloud City when he blocked those blaster bolts with the palm of his hand.
@@iio_moon It was in one of the EU novels (I think 'I, Jedi'?) where Luke was discussing the Tutaminis ability and used Vader's ability to block blasters with his hand as an example.
Tutaminis was also what Yoda did to absorb Force Lightning from Dooku and Sidious. In the case of blocking a freaking lightsaber *thrust*, that takes some serious concentration, so the fact that Satele was able to just whip that out in the midst of a battle with a Sith like Malgus shows why becomes the Grandmaster of the Jedi Order.
And yet it was still barely enough! In the Diary of Gnost Dural (part of the Collector's Edition of SWTOR) she makes comments how she could barely keep this up and would have 100% died without Jace Malcolm's help! She also claims that she had always feared ever facing Malgus again after their first meeting in Return and looking back she can barely believe they not only survived but even won on Alderman It just shows what kind of Monster Darth Malgus is that even the ever calm Satele Shan fears him and despite being so skilled and having abilitys like that, she can barely believe that they won against Malgus
@@michaelhenschel251 This is because the Sith were always the better fighters compared to the Jedi, which also explains why Maul (a Sith Apprentice) was able to kill Qui-Gon Jinn (a Jedi Master) in Phantom Menace. The Sith have to fight and kill just to survive among their fellow Sith, and only the strongest among them will survive. The Jedi on the other hand treat combat as a last resort and have far more of a focus on diplomacy and mediation over combat. Sure, the Jedi are no pushovers in a fight, but they also don't fight just to survive on a daily basis like the Sith do.
Old Republic hits differently huh?, the same Sith dude from the beginning started as an apprentice, then killed his master and suddenly, he led all the sith like a true savage straight into the jedi temple, and dominated like a boss coming back with more and more scars
It wasn't really "suddenly" between the first and the 3rd trailer alone are like atleast 10 Years and between the First and the last it's actually about 60+ Years (Malgus is over 80 at that Point) So yeah, it still shows a lot of Malgus life but it's not like all that happened within like a Year or so
I mean, that's how they get you IN. It's not really what they're about though, very appeal to the disillusioned type recruitment, but then they throw you into the grinder like everyone else.
Except by that point, he's long realized that both the Jedi AND the Sith are garbage alone and that if the Force is to have balance, they have to work together. He spent a LOT of time, alone, with Satele and they like each other. You can just as well do good deeds despite being ruthless as you can do bad deeds with good intentions.
Peace is a lie. There is only Passion. Through Passion, I gain Strength. Through Strength, I gain Power. Through Power, I gain Victory. Through Victory my chains are Broken. The Force shall free me.
Considering he was talking during the 8 times he was referred to as Malgus. Worst part about "react channels" are the ones where they talk over everything instead of pausing to talk. Never go with him to a movie theater.
In the last trailer, Malgus at the time was independent of the Sith Empire, he was only there to access the secrets of a really powerful Sith Lord and was doing so against the wishes of the current Emperor, so that dude getting stabbed in the back was purely coincidental 😂😂
The old republic is set i believe several thousand years before a new hope the movie so this is before the rule of two for sith. Probably my favorite era of star wars lore. Loved the reaction btw
@@TheKillmeifucan Darth Bane. 1 To avoid sith to keep killing themselves over and over and by so becoming weaker; 2 concentrating all dark power in only two sith Lords, one Master and one Apprentice, till the apprentice might become strong enough to become the master (killing him) and taking other as it's apprentice - so they could become stronger and stronger and once again rule the galaxy, as Sidious and Vader did but only for 19 years or so. Them came Disney and fugged all up.
At 12:15 Satele (aka shawty) used a technique known as tutaminis. Basically it’s energy displacement. The best examples of this would be in ep 2 and 3 when Yoda absorbed the force lightning or ep 5 when Vader reflected Han Solo’s blaster fire
True but I kinda do like the Disney ones but man this is way better I love the fighting with and without the light saber,how they use the force it’s amazing
You do NOT want SWTOR-level characters in movies and series trust me, as cool as they are they are horrendously overpowered Valkorion alone makes Palpatine look like a 4 years old child playing with plastic figurines in a toddler's room
@@xGoodOldSmurfehx The intricacies of the force are vast and limitless. Sith during those days were formidable even the Jedi. Sheev Palpatine isn't special even when he went to Korriban in the valley of the Dark Lords the Sith Spirits didn't like Sheev because he wasn't even close to how they are. Jedi and Sith later on were pretty much limited, only sticking to a few things hence why during the Clone Wars era The Jedi order had a lot of issues
the story with the two brothers and there father is that in this time the original emperor who could bitch slap sideous, hasn't been heard from by the empire in a long time, and eventually we find out the emperor left known space after absorbing the life forces of an entire planet of jedi and sith, and while in the outer reaches he takes over another world called zakul, while he is there he creates a new faction called the eternal empire, and once his two sons were grown, he allowed them to lead a campaign to conquer both the republic and the empire he left behind, the point of the game is your character becomes the driving force and rival of the emperor whos name is valkorian at this point, and you take him down and can either become the new eternal emperor or the eternal peacekeeper, aslo the girl in the next ones is the sister to the two brothers, and the emperors daughter, she craycray
Bro I love your reaction so much but dawg was killing me with the "is that Vader?" and "yo was that Maul?" lmaoo shit happens WAY before those characters. But I respect you checking this shit out. Also yes, the Sith do have better drip.
Malgus, the pale bald guy is one of the Sith that like Darths Maul, Marr, and Vader are protagonists but still villains. Maul because of clone wars and rebels, Marr because he’s pragmatic not sadistic or needlessly evil, and Vader because no duh. And Malgus because he *hates* both the Sith *and* Jedi and actively seeks to destroy them. The Jedi because Shan, the chick with the double bladed saber, made him a cyborg and the sith because they forced him to kill the Twilek chick from the Temple attack trailer who was the only person he loved. Basically to him the Jedi and Sith are two sides of the same coin, both are more concerned with dominance than the order or balance.
the guy that voices acts Darth Malgus sometimes goes to Missoula science fiction convention, he is a pretty interesting dude and has some pretty interesting stories about stuff he went through in life. i use to have a drink with him every year at miscon for 4 or 5 years
Second cinematic is why the first character I made in the game was “Big Baby” Zezda. Heavy Assault canon using member (spoiler: eventual leader) of Havoc Squad! Hoorah Troopers! Bull rushing Sith? Tanking force lightening, AND pulls a knife on Darth Malgus? That is one bad man right there. Jace a real one.
Satele Shan is the Descendant of Darrh Revan himself. And the bald guy is Darrh Malgus who is a powerhouse. And Satale Shan and that Trooper have a son together. Named Theron Shan but he isnt a Jedi.
Look, I get you're new to the iceberg, but some pre-read would help avoid the pointless questions of 'Is that Vader?! Is that Maul?!'. It's Old Republic. Era with a flow of its own, thousands of years before the main events of the movies.
The 4th and 5th videos have to do with a 3rd Faction that pop up from the unknown regions of the galaxy to take on the Republic and the Sith Empire. The little girl went Dark Side as the father (the "General" dude) was an evil bastard who was deep into the Dark Side himself
The game takes place 3 thousand years before the prequels. And that one shot with her blocking the saber. She was absorbing the energy from the kyber crystal (the power source of lightsabers) the same way Starkiller did against an imperial spider droid, and Yoda to Dooku
Your reactions were priceless, and your comments had me rotf-lmao!! Seeing what Disney has done and continues to do to the Star Wars IP has kept me in a dark place longer than I'd like to admit. Seeing someone watching these videos for the first time and enjoying the story as it was meant to be was very refreshing. It brought me back to the time when Star Wars was great, a time before Disney ruined it, and to a time when fans could enjoy it together. Before Disney took over, Star Wars was about the Story being the Agenda. Now, under Disney, the Agenda has become the Story. Thanks for posting this video.
Probably my favorite era of Star Wars I wish we could get movies or tv shows based in this era, this is over 3000 years prior to the skywalker era, Star Wars lore even goes back 100,000 years prior to this long before even the Jedi where around
i just came to watch a good reaction and got a laugh from the start when he starts saying how he wants to see all the characters from the hight republic and imperial era when the video is about the old republic
I envy you from the Bottom of my Heart. You got the Chance to see so many Fantasy enhancing Makings from the SW Universe for the First Time! Just enjoy it to the Fullest, as we only life once! Stay Healthy! 55 yrs Old SW Fan, Bavaria Germany.
As stated this is 3.5 k years before a the events in the movies. But the game has been a constant in my gaming rotation for as long as it has existed. It still holds up and does an awesome job if you love the lore of pulling you into your own adventure. Especially if you take your time and don't race through it (if you want though that is an option).
is it just me or is the story of the Eternal Empire from SWTOR just infinitely more interesting than what we tend to get from Disney.Also that last one when Malgus shows up,he stabs dude to move him out the way,Sith just to cold!
We nerds are still waiting for them to do something with the old republic era. It was a war between the old republic, the new emperor, the mandalorians, & re-emerging sith. Everyone was fighting everyone
The later trailers with all the yellow sabers, the two brothers and the emperor guy are for the Eternal Empire saga (triple expansions/trilogy), probably the best and sickest piece of Star Wars content ever written and produced
That sith name is Darth Malgus and he’s the embodiment of black Air Force energy. In the lore he has a wife( the twi’lek girl with him in the Jedi temple) and he kills her so no one can use her against him. He uses the pain and anger this causes to become possibly the second most powerful sith of his time. He later declares himself emperor of a new empire and nearly succeeded in his goals. Side note Darth Vader is also a HUGE fan of Malgus.
If you read the Books it is written at the beginning that it is around 3000 years before the Skywalker Saga; before Vader, before Luke. The Sith you are watching is Darth Malgus who is leading the Sith Empire which had tens of thousands of Sith... long before "the Rule of Two".
This era was when the jedi were at their peak/height of power. Sith adopted light sabers as an insult to jedi since they would mainly use sith artifacts (like gauntlets, necklaces) and bladed sith weapons when in combat. Also after reading some comics killing a sith and a jedi wasn't that hard back then. All it took was one slip up and you not concentrating and you were taken out. Also it was hella easy to fall/to join the darkside like hella instant.
As others have said, The Old Republic takes place THOUSANDS of years before the main movies, so these are precursors to ANY of the sith and jedi we know, hence why there is more than 2 sith, in modern times a Sith rule is that there shall only 2 be, a Master and an Apprentice, because the Sith eventually started betraying each other and almost wiped each other out fully. so now there must ONLY be 2 Sith at once. the Troopers you see taking on Sith as well, aren't Clone Troopers or Storm Troopers either, they're Republic Troopers, which are basically just standard civilians who signed up to serve the republic, and were trained well enough to ascend to the role of Trooper which is... kind of like a 'special forces' hence why they can go 1-1 with most Sith.
Absolutely loved your reaction man! Real as hell You got the perfect amount of authentic reaction and quite when needed to just enjoy and soak it in Felt like when i saw these for the first time😂 I still remember how f-ing hyped i was when those sith pulled up in the ship and they all ignited their lightsabers 🤯🤯🤯
Might I also add the korriban planet is this the birthplace of the species that inhabited the planet was known as sith and as time went on this species known as sith, seemingly dwindled and vanished without at trace, this species was very entuned with with the dark side of the force, meaning this species was born pure blood sith, Darth Malgus' master was the sith species, within the universe of Star wars noone to this day even knows whether or not they still exist
In that first cinematic, those two would make Darth Vader look like a complete tool, particularly Malgus. Palpatine wanted Vader to be the next Malgus but was pretty disappointed. Malgus is pretty much too angry to die. He's one hell of a nasty character. This is thousands of years before the Star Wars movies.
Always glad to see a new fan like me. I dived into Star Wars through this game. Its a blast. Im really not into the canon stuff only watched the Prequel Trilogy when I was a kid though the Old Republic Universe feels far greater then the Prequel Films or any Canon Star Wars stuff currently. I played KOTOR 1/2 , Still playing from time to time SWTOR and hoping to see the KOTOR Remake one day.
I recommend the original SWKOTOR 1 and 2. They have cannon stories that lead into this (SWTOR MMO). Including a book called “Revan”. I suggest playing the first game as full light side, mullet head dude. Second game as Brown hair full light side woman. Those are the “cannon”. Play the full dark side playthroughs after and then listen or read the book, its ending is phenomenal. Edit: I legitimately plan to listen to the book again myself during my road trip in a few days.
Emperor Valkorian Aka Darth Tenebrae “The Sith Emperor” is the father of the twin sons and daughter. That is why they are ultra powerful as fuck. The Bald Sith Lord is Darth Malgus. One of the most powerful sith lords to ever live. He brought the Republic and Jedi to their knees.
Exhibit A on why an absolute masterpiece of a game, and the most unknown era of Star Wars, needs to make a comeback. I want more Old Republic in video games and films, the choreography and everything else about this is perfect. The MMO is story focused, much like early levels of Guild Wars 2 or something like Destiny, yeah there is raid content and PVP, but its far from the focus. It is the type of MMO that I can happily play through entirely solo, over and over and over. two factions, 8 classes split into 16 subclasses, 8 different stories with different outcomes based on choices, fantastic characters, allies and enemies. The Old Republic IMHO is one of the best MMOs ever made, although a lot of that bias comes from my absolute love of KOTOR and that entire era of the franchise. I know Disney has no interest in this shit, and they will continue to ruin Star Wars, but I am dreaming for this type of stuff again. Even the fan made youtube films in this era are fantastic. It is the most compelling, dark, mature section of Star Wars.
There are some really good star wars audiobooks that are worth listening to. The knights of the old republic games are also great, if you like lore and stories.
My father's side of the family and I are huge fans of Star Wars and he told me (don't know if its true by I belive it is) that the videogames George Lucas released were meant to be movies that he didn't thought the public would like so he made it into games. Honestly I would love to see a movie on the Old Republic era, not only showing the jedi side but also the sith, showing how powerful and ruthless the sith empire was. Each class of the games from both sides would make a great movie each, the sith side being in my opinion the bests. Such a shame and waste what Star Wars became in Disney's hand.
"The Sith have better drip" reminds me of one of my favourite lines of the game. One of the Jedi Knight companions, Kira, says at one point 'Have you seen what the Sith are wearing? It's like every fashion designer in the galaxy went over to the dark side."

Bro I love your reaction so much but dawg was killing me with the "is that Vader?" and "yo was that Maul?" lmaoo shit happens WAY before those characters. But I respect you checking this shit out. Also yes, the Sith do have better drip.
29:37 That's why the Sith "rule of 2" was invented.
Malgus, the pale bald guy is one of the Sith that like Darths Maul, Marr, and Vader are protagonists but still villains. Maul because of clone wars and rebels, Marr because he’s pragmatic not sadistic or needlessly evil, and Vader because no duh. And Malgus because he *hates* both the Sith *and* Jedi and actively seeks to destroy them. The Jedi because Shan, the chick with the double bladed saber, made him a cyborg and the sith because they forced him to kill the Twilek chick from the Temple attack trailer who was the only person he loved. Basically to him the Jedi and Sith are two sides of the same coin, both are more concerned with dominance than the order or balance.
Darth Sidious or even his his master were not born until several thousands years after this :o
the guy that voices acts Darth Malgus sometimes goes to Missoula science fiction convention, he is a pretty interesting dude and has some pretty interesting stories about stuff he went through in life. i use to have a drink with him every year at miscon for 4 or 5 years
Welcome to the old republic my good friend 😁
These are way before the movies. That’s Darth Malgus and then the dark side didn’t always wear black in the old republic.
The female in mando armor is Shea Vizla the leader of the mandalorians
Second cinematic is why the first character I made in the game was “Big Baby” Zezda. Heavy Assault canon using member (spoiler: eventual leader) of Havoc Squad! Hoorah Troopers!
Bull rushing Sith? Tanking force lightening, AND pulls a knife on Darth Malgus? That is one bad man right there. Jace a real one.
I wish these were the movies instead of the sequels
You Karens seriously need to move on from that
It was darth Malgus the ancient Sith lord
Satele Shan is the Descendant of Darrh Revan himself. And the bald guy is Darrh Malgus who is a powerhouse.
And Satale Shan and that Trooper have a son together. Named Theron Shan but he isnt a Jedi.
Look, I get you're new to the iceberg, but some pre-read would help avoid the pointless questions of 'Is that Vader?! Is that Maul?!'. It's Old Republic. Era with a flow of its own, thousands of years before the main events of the movies.
Fun fact: in the third trailer, when Malgus kills Jedi Master Ven Zallow, he whispers "It's all going to burn" before letting him fall to the ground
Darth Malgus is my absolute favorite Sith, he is the most complete Sith in all of Star Wars! :D
this is 3925 years before all the starwars you know
The 4th and 5th videos have to do with a 3rd Faction that pop up from the unknown regions of the galaxy to take on the Republic and the Sith Empire.
The little girl went Dark Side as the father (the "General" dude) was an evil bastard who was deep into the Dark Side himself
The game takes place 3 thousand years before the prequels.
And that one shot with her blocking the saber. She was absorbing the energy from the kyber crystal (the power source of lightsabers) the same way Starkiller did against an imperial spider droid, and Yoda to Dooku
Nah the sith are the coldest to ever do it
None of these characters 17:54 are related to or have anything to do with the skywalker timeline
Even a old game is more Star wars than Disneys series.
Over 3600 years ago, the Sith, The Jedi, and ... Others, Rolled just a little bit harder.
Your reactions were priceless, and your comments had me rotf-lmao!!
Seeing what Disney has done and continues to do to the Star Wars IP has kept me in a dark place longer than I'd like to admit.
Seeing someone watching these videos for the first time and enjoying the story as it was meant to be was very refreshing. It brought me back to the time when Star Wars was great, a time before Disney ruined it, and to a time when fans could enjoy it together.
Before Disney took over, Star Wars was about the Story being the Agenda. Now, under Disney, the Agenda has become the Story.
Thanks for posting this video.
Probably my favorite era of Star Wars I wish we could get movies or tv shows based in this era, this is over 3000 years prior to the skywalker era, Star Wars lore even goes back 100,000 years prior to this long before even the Jedi where around
I do like that the twins got super messed up when fighting the Sith on Korriban. On brand for the Sith to savage them, even if they lost eventually.
i just came to watch a good reaction and got a laugh from the start when he starts saying how he wants to see all the characters from the hight republic and imperial era when the video is about the old republic
No, not all Zabrack race are Darth Moll) There a story that was like 3600+ years before movies events and Clone Wars
this is thousands years ago before the movies set in the old republic era.
I envy you from the Bottom of my Heart. You got the Chance to see so many Fantasy enhancing Makings from the SW Universe for the First Time! Just enjoy it to the Fullest, as we only life once!
Stay Healthy!

Okay I love it when new fans come to Star Wars but the characters he keeps mentioning are thousands of years after what we're watching haha
As stated this is 3.5 k years before a the events in the movies. But the game has been a constant in my gaming rotation for as long as it has existed. It still holds up and does an awesome job if you love the lore of pulling you into your own adventure. Especially if you take your time and don't race through it (if you want though that is an option).
is it just me or is the story of the Eternal Empire from SWTOR just infinitely more interesting than what we tend to get from Disney.Also that last one when Malgus shows up,he stabs dude to move him out the way,Sith just to cold!
We nerds are still waiting for them to do something with the old republic era.
It was a war between the old republic, the new emperor, the mandalorians, & re-emerging sith. Everyone was fighting everyone
The later trailers with all the yellow sabers, the two brothers and the emperor guy are for the Eternal Empire saga (triple expansions/trilogy), probably the best and sickest piece of Star Wars content ever written and produced
Heh heh..... a Sith pension. That caught me off guard. Too damned funny!
The Sith's name is Darth Malgus, and this was 3000 years before Vader was born.
That sith name is Darth Malgus and he’s the embodiment of black Air Force energy. In the lore he has a wife( the twi’lek girl with him in the Jedi temple) and he kills her so no one can use her against him. He uses the pain and anger this causes to become possibly the second most powerful sith of his time. He later declares himself emperor of a new empire and nearly succeeded in his goals. Side note Darth Vader is also a HUGE fan of Malgus.
the way i screamed at you when you called him cassidy/mccree like, nooo, this was wayyy before overwatch
The bald Sith at the beginning of the first trailer is Malgus, the same one as at the end.
i sense great darkness. 'she's talking about me'. had me. Subbed.
My man has so much to learn 😅👍 and yes, Malgus is that dude
Drazu, "I thought that was Vader..."
Me, these guys would take Vader's lunch money and leave him in a ditch."
If you read the Books it is written at the beginning that it is around 3000 years before the Skywalker Saga; before Vader, before Luke. The Sith you are watching is Darth Malgus who is leading the Sith Empire which had tens of thousands of Sith... long before "the Rule of Two".
red faced guy at the beginning is a sith it is a race which then becomes used as the general word for a dark side force user
Someone tell my boy this is thousands of years before Vader 😂 I like his enthusiasm tho
This era was when the jedi were at their peak/height of power.
Sith adopted light sabers as an insult to jedi since they would mainly use sith artifacts (like gauntlets, necklaces) and bladed sith weapons when in combat.
Also after reading some comics killing a sith and a jedi wasn't that hard back then. All it took was one slip up and you not concentrating and you were taken out.
Also it was hella easy to fall/to join the darkside like hella instant.
Darth Malgus is what you call a Sith Juggernaut
lmfao 2:13 and you didnt see none of em
As others have said, The Old Republic takes place THOUSANDS of years before the main movies, so these are precursors to ANY of the sith and jedi we know, hence why there is more than 2 sith, in modern times a Sith rule is that there shall only 2 be, a Master and an Apprentice, because the Sith eventually started betraying each other and almost wiped each other out fully. so now there must ONLY be 2 Sith at once. the Troopers you see taking on Sith as well, aren't Clone Troopers or Storm Troopers either, they're Republic Troopers, which are basically just standard civilians who signed up to serve the republic, and were trained well enough to ascend to the role of Trooper which is... kind of like a 'special forces' hence why they can go 1-1 with most Sith.
Yes this game takes place before the original and clone war movies
Absolutely loved your reaction man!
Real as hell
You got the perfect amount of authentic reaction and quite when needed to just enjoy and soak it in
Felt like when i saw these for the first time😂
I still remember how f-ing hyped i was when those sith pulled up in the ship and they all ignited their lightsabers 🤯🤯🤯
This game took place 3600 years ago before the movies
Yup. The Old Republic was about as peak Star Wars as we've ever gotten. Probably will never been anything story-wise this good again.
Good watch, man.
This game takes place thousands of years before A New Hope, basically a time period everyone is juiced up with force steriods powerful
These cinematics are better than the kast 3 episodes!!
You sequel haters are so immature
@@daurydavis3983 What about them, i just wanna know
My boy Vader and maul were not even born yet 🤣
"Vader and Anakin are NOT the same person."
Yeah, he's 100% a true fanboy now. 😁
This is the past (creative liberty and great storytelling)
Knowing the 5% or less lore and coming to the old republic thinking that only era is the Vader.
Might I also add the korriban planet is this the birthplace of the species that inhabited the planet was known as sith and as time went on this species known as sith, seemingly dwindled and vanished without at trace, this species was very entuned with with the dark side of the force, meaning this species was born pure blood sith, Darth Malgus' master was the sith species, within the universe of Star wars noone to this day even knows whether or not they still exist
In that first cinematic, those two would make Darth Vader look like a complete tool, particularly Malgus. Palpatine wanted Vader to be the next Malgus but was pretty disappointed. Malgus is pretty much too angry to die. He's one hell of a nasty character. This is thousands of years before the Star Wars movies.
Always glad to see a new fan like me. I dived into Star Wars through this game. Its a blast. Im really not into the canon stuff only watched the Prequel Trilogy when I was a kid though the Old Republic Universe feels far greater then the Prequel Films or any Canon Star Wars stuff currently. I played KOTOR 1/2 , Still playing from time to time SWTOR and hoping to see the KOTOR Remake one day.
Since you mentioned McCree/Cassidy, you may be interested to know that "shorty" has the same voice actress as Ashe (Jennifer Hale).
your comments in between the vids is just comedy brother, got me subbing and shit :-P
I recommend the original SWKOTOR 1 and 2. They have cannon stories that lead into this (SWTOR MMO). Including a book called “Revan”. I suggest playing the first game as full light side, mullet head dude. Second game as Brown hair full light side woman. Those are the “cannon”. Play the full dark side playthroughs after and then listen or read the book, its ending is phenomenal.
Edit: I legitimately plan to listen to the book again myself during my road trip in a few days.
Vader was I believe inspired by Malgus, or Sidious has Malgus' in mind when he made Vaders Armor.
This is the old repulic, thousands of years before Vader and all others. It's just another cycle, as the universe hase always gone.
Bro killed his master , its right of passage from Appretice into Full fledged Sith
Emperor Valkorian Aka Darth Tenebrae “The Sith Emperor” is the father of the twin sons and daughter. That is why they are ultra powerful as fuck. The Bald Sith Lord is Darth Malgus. One of the most powerful sith lords to ever live. He brought the Republic and Jedi to their knees.
This was 3000-4000 years before battle of yavin
Exhibit A on why an absolute masterpiece of a game, and the most unknown era of Star Wars, needs to make a comeback. I want more Old Republic in video games and films, the choreography and everything else about this is perfect. The MMO is story focused, much like early levels of Guild Wars 2 or something like Destiny, yeah there is raid content and PVP, but its far from the focus. It is the type of MMO that I can happily play through entirely solo, over and over and over. two factions, 8 classes split into 16 subclasses, 8 different stories with different outcomes based on choices, fantastic characters, allies and enemies. The Old Republic IMHO is one of the best MMOs ever made, although a lot of that bias comes from my absolute love of KOTOR and that entire era of the franchise. I know Disney has no interest in this shit, and they will continue to ruin Star Wars, but I am dreaming for this type of stuff again. Even the fan made youtube films in this era are fantastic. It is the most compelling, dark, mature section of Star Wars.
There are some really good star wars audiobooks that are worth listening to.
The knights of the old republic games are also great, if you like lore and stories.
My father's side of the family and I are huge fans of Star Wars and he told me (don't know if its true by I belive it is) that the videogames George Lucas released were meant to be movies that he didn't thought the public would like so he made it into games. Honestly I would love to see a movie on the Old Republic era, not only showing the jedi side but also the sith, showing how powerful and ruthless the sith empire was. Each class of the games from both sides would make a great movie each, the sith side being in my opinion the bests. Such a shame and waste what Star Wars became in Disney's hand.
These short trailers are better than the recent movies imo...
His name is Darth Malgus
she talkin about me hahahhahhaha
