I love how the one in black kept looking at his brother from time to time. He knew his brother was changing
Khalid Hamadeh yep. He knew his brother was growing tired of being ignored.
@CrimsonNerd and the other Chalifornian?
left and right u know lol
Far Altright lmao
Khalid Hamadeh thexan
He is Thexan. And yes, Thexan had greater control of his emotions and knew that Arcann was not pleased with Valkorion's behavior
How ironic. The one in black appeared to be the most skilled and the most powerful in the force between the two...yet, he died because he was unprepared to fight the one person he cared about.
+CHANNEL3RUclips I also think he was fighting defensively and not trying to kill. The one in white had murder on his mind.
CHANNEL3RUclips you saying black guy always does first?
Because caring is a weakness for them
@@Jupiter.141 for the one in black, he cared about his brother he wasn't even trying to kill the one in white. The one in black would actually destroy the one in white to be honest.
No the one in black was soft watch about halfway when the one who was once white gets half his face burned off and his arm cut off he becomes a monster.
I love how these twins and even the father have more character development than rey in this cinematic trailer alone
imagine Rey Valkorion though
@@marshmallowbudgie she already ruined the palpatine and skywalker name dont even mention her w the valkorion name
The saddest part about this is that you’re right
@@BenAri18 Calm down. She didn't "ruin" anything.
@@JakeStaffin She did…
How the Hell does a 4 minute micro movie with no dialogue except the end end up being this damn powerful and awesome?!
because it was made by people who cared about the franchise and actually know about the lore? ( even as they were adding to it )
because it's made by people who care about the story they're telling, not some woke, sjw or financial agenda
Passion.
Because we can all relate to brotherhood. We all imagine ourselves with someone we care about and how devastating this would be.
because it’s made by people who care about the story they’re telling, not some woke, sjw or financial agenda
The 4 mins of this was better then the entire sequel trilogy combined
And you...
Indeed it is.
Big facts
I disagree but I respect your opinion.
The sad truth
Goosebumps on goosebumps on goosebumps.
Probably my 1000000x watching.
If only they'd make full movies just like this.
Star Wars Theory would probably be better if it was live action but I see where you’re coming from
fancy seeing you here
Same
Star Wars Theory it's 100000000000000 times better in my opinion than the new trilogy, in particular TLJ
I've watched this dozens of times, and these 5 minutes are a million times better than DisneyJJRian's crappy sw7 and 8. Those EF'ing Disney creations are not Star Wars!
Imagine if the Acolyte was about these twins
Some subtle details I picked up on:
- Arcann and Thexan, even as children are deliberately dressed in contrasting colors. In any military, uniforms are well...uniform to promote cohesion and group identity. I honestly wonder if this was deliberate by Valkorion to try and drive a wedge between the two.
- While they're training in the arena, Valkorion only leaves after Thexan helps Arcann up. There's two shots. In the first, Valkorion doesn't look like he's going anywhere. Thexan standing tall; Arcann's on his knees; and the knights are out for the count. But...as soon as Thexan helps Arcann up, that's the moment he decides to leave. Even the knight on Valkorion's right seems to be thinking "Wtf?" with the backwards glance.
- When they put the crystal into the lightsaber... who's the only one to have one? Where's Arcann's lightsaber? Sure, there's parts on the table but no crystal in sight which suggests to me this is more favoritism on Valkorion's part. But again, Thexan completely misses the intended message and has Arcann with him when he makes it. I believe this is where Valkorion starts to wonder if his previous favorite isn't up to it, and starts considering his underdog son.
- While they're holocalling Valkorion, he doesn't look the least bit interested in what they have to say and walks away when he sees the two of them are there together. Both are disappointed, but only Arcann reacts badly. But, think about what Valkorion's been saying throughout the whole trailer: "A man can have anything, if he's willing to sacrifice" and "Your privilege is the dirt [...] Your birthright the losses you suffer. Your entitlement the pain you endure." He's not saying this to be a pointless dick -- he believes completely what he's saying. That bad experiences are a gift.
- In the next scene, Arcann's injured and still, Thexan's right there with him. Holding his forearm while he screams with pain. But, immediately after, Thexan's nowhere to be seen. It's Arcann who cuts through 3-4 Sith like a hot knife through butter, using his cybernetic arm to overpower the Twi'lek. One wonders if he might've been capable of doing so if he hadn't been injured.
- When both arrive to present Valkorion with their tributes, look at them. Think about the connotations of Black and White. Black is usually connected with corruption; deceit; evil; disloyalty etc. White is connected with goodness; wholesomeness; purity; peace etc. And yet, Thexan is completely loyal and comfortable in his place, has suffered no injuries and attempts to stop Arcann's assassinating Valkorion. Whereas Arcann is filthy, missing a limb and half of his face, and is the one to try and kill his father.
- Finally, Thexan's grip slides out of Arcann's, despite neither of them wanting to let go. Finally, the last anchor on Arcann is gone, and Valkorion can mould him as he wishes.
Edit: Actually, there's something else I noticed. When Arcann stabs the Sith attempting to crawl away, the Sith's mask is open in the exact place that Arcann's face is covered. Perhaps this means that Arcann's becoming more and more like a Sith with time?
Somehow you made the video even better.
@@Andrew-dh1ws Thanks!
Just knowing that someone still watches these and cares about the quality of Star Wars instead of the scraps disney throws at us gives me hope for the future of this fandom.
BEYOND UNIMAGINABLY AMAZINGLY AMAZING AMAZINGNESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Also to add, when Valkorian says "and when darkness finds you, you will face it alone" arcann is seen alone for the first time, neat little thing there
And the father of the year award goes to....
Darth Vader xd
Han solo
+Michael Stringer guys I only gave them a lot of space, so they would end up fighting each other ya know? :P
You really don't deserve the rank of Emperor anymore and giving a lot of space not really Valkorion was seeking revenge on the sith and the jedi Don't ask why it's just a lot of the people say that
Do you even know what you are talking about? Have you even played the game? If so your comment makes no sense, Valkorion couldn't give two shits about the galaxy if he tried, I'd go into the details but you have google so use it
Back again? it's ok, i totally understand.
EDIT: Glad to know everybody's back to re-watch this masterpiece!
You got me
Well I just have to compare these to modern Starwars, so every trailer I revisit them.
aaaaah tis too good
This short clip far better than anything Disney's star wars has made
yep
5 years later and I'm still watching this trailer, they need to come out with a movie
So they can fuck it up
@Pointless 😥
@@EternalEmperorofZakuul unfortunately
@@Swigma still can't believe people still trust Disney
sorry i will never see move like this if Disney still exists.
Important note, Thexan(the twin in black) doesn’t stop arcan(the twin in white) because he loves his father. He stops arcan because he knows arcan is no watch for the emperor. He stopped him because he was trying to save his brother. Thexan protected his brother to the very end
Doesnt matter valkorion is immortal anyway
I would honestly pay $20 to see a movie like this in theaters. Star Wars fans deserve such a treat.
79ward Tell me about it. I've been wishing for the same ever since I saw the Deceived trailer they released back a few years ago to promote the game. Instead we just get another SWTOR expansion which is honestly nothing home to write about.
Peter K I don't agree with that, though I've just started getting into SWTOR so maybe it's because I haven't played the expansions yet. I would really like a film starring a Sith as the protagonist, though. I've been enjoying the more grey version of Bioware's Empire and Republic, where the Republic clearly have a lot of issues with how the handle things, rather than being the token good.
79ward The choreographers for these fights are involved in Episode 7
79ward Im not sure that will ever happen :'( You see, I think that the budget they put into just these small 5 minute cutscenes alone is probably INSANE! To make an hour and a half movie would probably be the budget of like.....2 and a half games lmao! There was an old saying that because the Old Republic was so poorly received, that it was believed that most of the game's budget went into their cgi shorts XD Awesome though they are, I'd bet they're EXPENSIVE AS ALL HELL!
79ward fucking amazing stuff. Just take your got damn time and make a movie like this! IS IT SO FUCKING HARD?!

I love when he strikes down his brother. He switches from sith eyes to normal eyes, in disbelief of what he’s done. The attention to detail is immaculate. Could watch this over and over again.
It’s sad because with the remorse that he felt could have led him to the light side, but he stayed on the dark side

Good to be back
Hello
@@simaoribeiro3517 there
@@ayy9689 thank you
This 5 minutes feels more like Star Wars than the last two movies
EDIT: Last three movies
mujiha this trailer is better than all the 8 movies.
Maanya Shukla uh calm down there buddy, definitely better than episodes 7&8, for sure but the rest...
Danger Dog just kidding lol. Though 7 & 8 had their good sides. Fingers crossed for 9...😄
Maanya Shukla there is no 9. The last Jedi was the last time we will probably see Fin and Rey. After that we get the Han Solo and Boba Fett movie. Then once those are complete we get a whole new storyline in a galaxy far far away.
Yeah, it really prove that Legend or EU is far more better than Canon Garbage in anyways
Needed to come back here to cleanse my eyes, after watching the acolyte.
i could watch a whole trilogy about the twins being raised as warriors and the ways of the force, going to war and seeing the whole story unfold even if i knew this same thing was gonna happen, i'd pay top dollar to watch such a thing, for whoever holds the rights over that story arc/characters
I'm afraid Disney would now be the one holding the rights.... And they would fuck it up. So although I would pay top dollar for it too and I absolutely love Swtor. I hope it never gets made. No matter how strong the glue is, you will always see the cracks in a glass vase.
TAKE MY MONEY GOD DAMMIT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the company which holds the rights is the main reason we never get to see anything like this on big screen
Yeah but they're race swapped and played by women
yeah? would you still "pay top dollar" when it was turned into a trilogy full of LGBT, token people, political correctness and all kinds of virtue signals? I highly doubt that. You might think they cannot possibly ruin this but believe me, they can.
Just be happy they managed 4 mins without ruining it. Today, thats 4 mins more then one can hope for. Be careful what you wish for, you might just get it.
why is this not a series? this could be the best thing to happen to star wars since everything
+SnazzyPanic fuck man ikr
+SnazzyPanic because this trailer took over a year and a lot of money to make, they could never profit from it not with the current technology.

no it won´t happen sorry SnazzyPanic
Hell yes I need this
The small affect of Arcann’s eye going from Sith yellow back to blue when he killed his brother Thexan is such a powerful effect. It showed how his brother Thexan’s was the last person he cared about.
And then in the game, with Thexan gone, Arcann has no one there to keep him on the straight and narrow, and completely falls to his father's manipulations, with his eye being completely yellow.
And after that, when Arcann is brought back from the brink by Senya, Arcann has had the void in his life that Thexan once occupied filled again by his mother, and thus his eyes are blue once again.
I never understood how any one could pick the option to kill him in game, after everything Valkoreon did to his own family. Even being a Sith Lord, that crosses the line, besides Arcann is also a powerbomb of a companion.
@@matthewshipley739 Man, reading this makes me want to play SWTOR again just to experience this story. Arcann is such a cool character
I really appreciate the detail that Thexan is always glancing at Arcann. When they leave the throne room to start their war, when he destroys the hologram projector, when they get on the ship after killing Talon, and finally when he goes to kill Valkorian. He's even noticing when the ship next to them gets blown up. Thexan knows, or is at least worried about what's coming.
His father eyes turn yellow when he look at his son
Valkorion can be considered the most accurate representation of the Devil. No horns. No red skin. No dark suit. Just a man with a soothing, but yet, menacing presence
I will agree it is pretty accurate and can be considered the most, but I will always think Mark Pellegrinos satan on supernatural is the perfect representation, in supernatural he's the most barbaric angel there is but also non chalant and dresses in normal clothes and isn't afraid to get his hands dirty unlike his angel brothers who just touch your forehead and you die. He prefers to punch his fist through your body. Also instead of having his demon minions ( who he finds to be worse than humans) dig his giant hole to fill with body's to summon death from his imprisonment, he digs it himself. I highly recommend the first 5 seasons of supernatural
That's how he presents himself his true form however is red skin, void black eyes
The Devil appears to you as what you really want the most to tempt you. Seeing as the man in white wanted nothing more than his father's approval, he finally got it but at the cost of his beloved brother's life, killed by his own hand.
Truly DIO
@@two-bearshigh-fiving9293 Read some lore on archangel Sameal. Micheals twin and the devil himself and he is almsot exactly like that accoring to the christian and I believe hebrew text.

I have to say the emperor´s speech in the beginning, motivated me in my university studies over years. Always when I was close to become lazy or if I didnt want to start studying I watched the beginning: "A man can have anything if he is willing to sacrifice". Indeed, you sacrifice your time and amusement for studying hard, but it is worth it.
Same here, except I'm in university right now.
without actual purpose,all that effort can easily come crashing down. Don't follow something you don't truly believe,be an adult and choose your fate,for better or for worse.
Knowledge is power, power corrupts. Study hard, be evil.
@@kraidar8111 power doesn't corrupt, but it does attract the corruptible. They have been just men who use their power wisely throughout history, but they are the rare exception. It is not power that breaks you down, but weakness that leads to cowardice, and cowardice which becomes evil.
That's awesome! I'm glad to see others finding inspiration from this too ( :
this 4 minute trailer from 2015 is better than the entire season of Disneys New star wars acolyte show. sad days for starwars
Did anyone notice Vitiate's eyes? They were blue but when he looked down at his son in the end they were sith orange.
Aronexo he is a sith
@@adamedwards9659 I know. But he seemed emotionless and cold. That's the only emotion you see in him during the video
Not only his eyes, but also that faint almost imperceptible smile showing on his face when one of his sons was about to struck him down. Old bastard knew all along what's going to happen.
@@Aronexo just like darth sidious
Hr is like old palpatine but more handsome .d
Cannot get past how powerful and mature this clip is. Watched it over 10 times and still crave more.
can we just recommend disney helimg this studio to lead the new sequels xD :P
Wait till you play this story line in the game.
This dude is totally snoke lol he can even tranfer his consciousness into people! And know their every move!
Notice at 3:21 that his red sith eyes disappear as he realizes he killed his brother.
The Darth Vader comics are really messed up with what he does but Disney wouldn't put it in films because it would stain their child friendly reputation
I genuinely thought ‘Acolyte’ was going to give us this kind of narrative
never lose that optimism in life bro
This is better than any Disney star wars movie tv series I've watched so far
I feel that these and all the other old republic trailers, are the dark and gritty Star Wars films we never got. Films with emotion, personality, and an overall greyness instead of the black and white good and evil. If only we had more Star Wars films like this.
+Danengscot I hear you. Instead we got an Ep4 rehash wit Ep7.
There are only two forces at work in the world (or the galaxy): Right and wrong, good and evil, God and Satan. People are just different shades of gray. Here's a good definition of evil: "The absence of good;" just as darkness is the absence of light, and cold is the absence of warmth.

how is this better than anything disney star wars has ever created lmao
In five minutes and with almost no dialogue, this trailer told a better and far more compelling story than The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi could.
what price we need to make this into a movie?
@@huss1836 Apparently each minute of the swtor trailers cost 1m dollars so a one hour movie would cost about 60m dollars
Pequod there are movies that cost more than that so I think we are able to get that movie
"Could" 😱
Pequod Still cheaper than most Star Wars movie nowadays, XD
they HAVE to make these old Republic storylines into movies, they're so good
the vast majority of the story of swtor is garbage. poorly written characters that just cater to the lowest common denominator of fans. you mistake good storylines for good scene's... there is a difference and the writters of swtor made great scenes but didnt know how to tie them all together, which is why alot of characters made choices that they wouldnt have, it was to move the plot along. which is BAD story telling
Ninvus Gaming but-but in that time there were more jedi and sith than now, since disney doesn't follow the comics or novels story line (only a little i guess) after episode 6, i think swtor would be more epic than the new episode.
now rewrite your comment but instead of "swtor" you say "TFA"
@49Shadow - no it wouldnt, you think you want it but you dont. 1) the old republic era is only known within the star wars fans, it would be very stupid for disney to make a movie around the old republic area because 1) if they made a revan movie it would suck because lets face it revan was a over hyped character who did nothing but blunder his way around the galaxy and his greatest achievement was cleaning up his own mess with malak. 2) swtor is a failing mmo (most consider it a failed one already) 3) its not a recognizable name for the masses, the average movie goer does give a hot shit about the EU (no one should its a collection of 97% trash fan fictions with only 3% of them are any good like the thrawn books) ultimately the force awakens era is a better business movie for disney and a better movie for us.
Maybe better for you but not for me, you know i kinda miss the episode 1 to 3 for the diversity in the species race who fought in this war not only human, because it's named star wars which is meant to be a war in star. Well that's only my opinion though, and thanks for telling me some facts about swtor and also please correct me if i am wrong..

Gotta feel bad for poor Thexan. Died because he loved a father that didn't really care about him.... And murdered by his sibling
i think valkorian pushed arcaan the most.
You want to say he was a gay?
Ryan Goodwin sibling is the wrong word. He was killed by his brother, the only one left that cared for him, brotherhood works that way, it goes alot deeper then blood.
I doubt he cared for the father, Thexan likely knew that his brother would be death if he did not act.
Yeah but honestly it feels more like Thexan wasn’t really after love from his dad that much but was content with the love of his brother.
Arcann was the one who desired his father’s love along with his brother’s love or the very least one tender moment of acknowledgement instead being brushed off his entire life up until that point in this trailer.
In short, this is some tragic Cain and Abel swtor gold.
I love the fact that although the brother dressed in black seems much more peaceful and has control over his emotions, he still shows the flag of the Sith Empire. Meanwhile the brother dressed in white, much more violent and terrified because of his experiences, he shows the Old Republic flag. Everyone would asume it would be the other way around, but this story completely changes the idea of the dark and the light side.
These guys are not Sith and having nothing to do with that Empire. They are part of a third faction called the Eternal Empire which was at war with the Jedi and the Sith.
@@That_Guy00 And what does the final scene with the flags mean in all this? What are they trying to achieve?

BEYOND UNIMAGINABLY UNIMAGINABLE AMAZINGLY AMAZING AMAZINGNESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Exactly what I thought
How could anyone miss that? Star wars isn't known for being subtle.
Arcann in his mind: Are you...fucking joking?! I lost my arm and half my face, trained for years, *AND THIS IS WHAT I GET AS A REWARD!? A SIMPLE GLANCE?! AND THEN YOU JUST TURN AWAY?!? WHAT KINDA FATHER ARE YOU?!?!!"
Tell me about it, and he had to endure that for years, I can’t think of one person that wouldn’t have lost it
Oh I get it. It's what he always wanted. For one of them to rise above the other.
Nathan Blank What I don't understand is in all the previous clips we seen the son in the black robes outperforming/out-surviving the son in the white robes, so how can the son in the white kill the other so easily?
He was holding back.
KaramjanTriangle Because the dark side fueled him, whereas his brother didn't want to fight at all.
Giga Grievi but why did he display a Jedi flag. Nathan Blank that is probably the correct theory :P Although, why would a sith (assuming from flag) hold back?
steffen andersen I'm not wearing pants /waves hand.
I love that at 3:11 u can see the father smile in satisfaction as his son tries to take his life
holy shit, I've never noticed his smile there, really adds to his character.

Just make a series of movies based off the old republic, specifically with Revan, the Exile, and the gray jedi in this trailer.
+Boshwa this! It must be done!
+Boshwa TOTALEMENTE CIERTO ESE
+Boshwa No Revan is not the same in this game as it was with the Originals or in lore at all
+Boshwa be hard, it usually takes them like a year to make a cinematic of this quality. imagine how many people they would need to make the movie in a decent time frame.
+xxJOHNLIKESPIExx Only way we could have a decent movie in this time frame is if we have a kotor 3 that can complete the series. Honestly to complete that game would require the either the exile finding revan and go off from that or revan coming back and the exile can either choose to stop him or join him.To even go further mid game would be when you have that choice and at the end the exile would have to fight him either way. That way the movie would make sense cause swtor doesnt make any sense plus way to many character arcs to make a movie out of it.
Honestly I'd pay triple to see these made into movies
Disney won't though
Yeah, just waiting on that highly anticipated Han Solo film. FUCK. THAT. SHIT.
And would so have wanted episode VII to be about Jason and Jaina solo, sigh.
Ikr, it's like 6€ or some shit here for a movie, I'd pay 30 to see a movie finally giving me as much feelings as this 4minutes video did, because damn, I waited 3 days, just to have the perfect setting for me to watch it, that's how awesome it is

Gonna tell my kids this was the acolyte.

"in the darkness, only ambition will guide you" i think this line is very underated
"... you will face it alone"
Both of the quotes you point out are forever compelling!!!✨
That little smirk when his son was about to kill him.
"I'm about to die. Best fathers day present ever!"
I know this is late but, his father sensed his incoming dark side and kept trying to push it
The white warrior lose a half of face and a hand for father but the father don't see a thaks , and the son has very very cry and jump to kill father but the brother stop him and pay with life for this .

This all happens well before any of the Star Wars movies, but i would love it as a film
I would hope that disney would take something like this into serious consideration, but animation does cost more than live action.
Philip Hale Apparently a production is taking on SWTOR and are currently in writing, I just hope what I heard is true!
+Jordan T did I just hear you correctly an old republic movie
+Jordan T I para the gods for that
Honestly this could serve as a singular, standalone short film in itself.
It's dark, brooding, dramatic, engaging, and subtle. Arcann, without a single spoken word of dialogue from both him and Thexan, is visibly changing with each display of Vitiate's indifference. And Thexan knows it.
This is a perfect example of showing a story as it unfolds, rather than telling it.
All of my friends who are into making movies have thanked me for forcing them to watch this
not everything works with a longer running time. this worked perfectly as a trailer, but as a short film or even full length it would not be as good or even good at all.
@@ninvusoogoar6098 maybe but it can work
@@tilentgamer8758 sure, but it wouldnt. going on lucas art's track record... it will not be thoughtful or interesting, it will be generic action not focused on character like the trailer. would have themes that would not really work or are not fully formed, to the degree they become jarring like in the sequels. besides it wouldnt ever get made as a movie, nothing to bait nostalgia with to get people in theaters. swtor as a game is rather piss poor in both quality as a MMO and lack of good quality story telling and writing. trailers make great trailers because they do not need to fill the 2 hour and 30 min mark of most movies, or tie each scene together in a way that works.
it *COULD* work in theory but it will never get green lighted or even make it to a board meeting because frankly they care more about making money off of nostalgia than trying something new that could open the door for them to make more money
@@ninvusoogoar6098 It is true the whole Eternal throne arc was wasted. Shadow of Revan was anything as good as Knights of the Old Republic itself. But a lot of that could be related to a MMO setting, you cannot have your character changing anything as others want to be their own Heroes.
I think that this trailer could give rise to an amazing story. The characters are there, the potential drama is there. What is needed is a media that can allow for breaking rules, have consequences and tell a story more about the characters, where the state of the universe is more a consequence of the characters intentions than the real plot driver. A by product, if you want, of the conflict between them.
Pity they wasted it so much. Could have been the greatest star wars story ever.
I always need to come back to this and be reminded how great Star Wars can be
Who’s here after seeing a few episodes of “The Acolyte”? 😅 kinda disappointed we didn’t get something like this
The way the Twi'lek Sith's face twists from inflicted pain, anger and hatred to abject terror at 2:00 - 2:04 is so goddamn well done and chilling.
4 years on and this trailer is still a masterpiece.
Reckless Redcoat a fucking masterpiece
That Twi’Lek is called Darth Talon
@@SlashoftheGreatnessOfficial Dont think its darth talon she wasnt born for another 3000 years
sunter hm. Sorry they look similar but you’re right
Darth Atroxa.
She deserves to rest in peace for that great last stand on Korriban.
3:21
The moment of "what have I done?!"
Gets me.
Every.
SINGLE.
Time.
+Zablu Doki me too. heartbreaking
+Zablu Doki The worst thing is the black one is always looking (literally) at his brother while he is just focus on their father
ultimsing oh, fucking yes. poor babes :C
Rebel .-. wtf is wrong with you? hahaaha
mrsandigggg I was just stating that they are warriors who kill for survival and in reality, if you were to call them "babes"... They'd lop your head, clean off LMFAO
Even with the newest trailer out, this still is the best one for me
Same
Keep coming back here; never forgot this masterpiece
This is the Disney Parent Trap Acolyte I wanted. ☹️
3:13 to 3:17 is how long Rey should have lasted against Kylo ren before losing, even with his injuries.
right
Don't you come over here to my comment and give me that sarcastic sassy shit. I'm right.
well kylo was injured
That's what they say when a tennis player loose a match..
+95onimusha he should've been able to call on the dark side to "suck it up". Normal everyday soldiers can continue fighting at high levels after a gun shot wound so someone with force powers should be able to fight better than a normal human
Notice the symbolism in this trailer. One of the twin brothers is wearing black, yet he's compassionate. The other is wearing white, yet he's easily seduced by power. Usually black represents darkness (ie: Anakin), while white represents the light (ie: Obi-Wan). You’d expect a person in the Star Wars universe wearing black to be evil, and a person wearing white to be a good guy. But no - It’s a somewhat reverse. Neither seem to be light or dark side. They even have the same colored saber - yellow. They’ve fought both Sith Empire and Galactic Republic and Jedi Order. Yet each brother seems to exhibit a certain opposite behavior, despite what you’d expect from what they’re wearing, which is supposed to symbolize their moral stance.
Even the brother wearing white uses the Force in a dark manner the way a Sith would - forcefully making a hand gesture and destroying a hologram, while the brother wearing black looks on in silence. And later on in the trailer, the brother wearing white is fitted with a mask and prosthetic arm (in "Star Wars", people with masks and/or machinery on their person tends to be a villain). And the brother wearing black - when he's young during a training session - shows compassion by stretching out his arm to help his brother stand up.
And that arm hold is a symbol of their strong brotherhood. Over the years, these 2 do this arm hold for support and appreciation for one another. But after their brief duel, once the brother in black falls and dies, that last arm hold is a sign that their brotherhood is now over. Another sign that these 2 brothers aren't good nor evil is after the brother in white realizes he's killing his own brother, his golden eyes (a sign of the corruption of the dark side) lightly flicker back to his original eye color.
Why is Star Wars filled with such amazing symbolism??
Eric Graham Film Brain: SYMBOLISM!!!!!!!!!!!!
Eric Graham Maybe because you're thinking an entertainment too much.
Eric Graham I though it was going to be the other way around/obvious over which would be dark side or not for most of this but they got me
Eric Graham It's like poetry, it rhymes
Its stylistically designed to be that way
Pure hatred knows no bounds, and with that said, it can make one forget temporarily, what's right from wrong. The rage and anger of loss for their father led the broken brother to attack his father, and in the midst of anger, the broken one killed his brother while drunk with darkness and recognized too late that he was blind. The father saw the darkness within his son and finally accepted him in order to take advantage of a broken hero. Something that occurs within this world we live in more than we could possibly know and understand. As a twin who’s recently lost his identical twin, this story speaks volumes to me and is helping me instill hope and strength. What a wonderfully written and animated trailer.
I’m sorry to hear for your recent lost of your twin brother, I bet it would speak volumes, which character would your brother be, and yourself as well.. my older brother got me into Star Wars and we would pick which character we were, I’ve watched this trailer a couple of times with him, l guess I would probably be the guy in white, at first probably the guy in black but later turn and have hatred, and evil in my heart; the one who would probably kill
I know what it's like. Stay strong.
Not even a hardcore Star Wars fan. But I know perfection when I see it. I keep coming back to this video because it's soooo well done. Mostly because people with actual talent created this. It's so obvious that there's a huge drop in the quality of storytelling now. Damn shame.
It upsets me because Disney has the money and the ability to do amazing things but they choose to go safe and not take risks.
thats kinda fault of the fans
@@Azuria969 How
This is what Star Wars can achieved when put in a passionate hands, not in a money hungry soulless company.
The irony in this statement is baffling
@@randomvids1231000 dude is wearing a anonymous profile pic, you expected anything intelligent?
Davorn Uryn I think EAs the publisher of SWTOR tho lol. But to be fair when they back off and let the devs do their thing without being overly bearing (like they’ve been with battlefront 2 for the last year or so) good things happen.
@@randomvids1231000 What? Why? :-o
@@pinheadlarry8688 as was the case with bioware, the company that made this and many other bangers before the fall
1:50
My mom holding my hand while I’m at the dentist
Lmao
HAHAHAHAHA LOL
Animators: How epic should this be
Director: Yes
We should’ve gotten this over acolyte
Such Graphics.
Such Pacing.
Such Silence.
The perfect Trailer made by EA is without a word spoken over than the Narrator.
you think EA had anything to do with this brilliance?
Bruh EA didn't touch this at all
Not EA.
This was the last Lucas arts product made in terms of games. So EA didn't technically publish it Lucas Arts did.
Seriously? Are you fucking serious? This is not even EA's work dumbass
Think this is the best of the SWTOR trailers, others are cool but this one has such emotion and perfect Star Wars feel. Love it
Last one was also great
Betrayed is amazing.
They should have done the force awakens haha :P
Just on a side note great way to raise childre Valkorion, really nice, those Children will not be scarred for Life.
This doesn't feel like Star Wars. More like this is what Star Wars should have been.
This could have been the acolyte
4 minutes and already better that that shit the acolyte
3:33 the saddest moment in a game trailer that I've ever seen
3:23 almost tears me up everytime, the face of total regret and despair
Ben Walters makes me sweat from my eyes
lmao.. what a gay
venomchris Oh we should be sorry. Sorry that we have emotions.
Mmhm
Ben Walters .,
They conveyed Arcann and Thexans relationship perfectly without either saying a word
Actions speak louder than words.
They did speak, once. Playing with sticks.
I'm a twin, so watching this always makes me sad. Just thinking about what Arcann became over time and the death of of his brother is what finally will send him over the edge.
Did you and your twin react to this how did he feel?
I feel you, my mother and aunt are identical twins, and recently one passed. Pretty brutal for one of them to see one of them go before its time.
I love how the outfits portrait the opposite of the dark and light side.
The brother in the black (dark) outfit becomes the good (light sided) guy.
While the brother in the white (light) outfit turns into the bad (dark sided) guy.
What a masterpiece this is.
Ok, you guys really need to look into doing these CGI Starwars movies. This is epic.
Do you know how expensive it would be to do an entire movie like this? Even if theyhad the resources to do a full film they would never go through with it unless they could guarantee a big net profit.
Cody Gallagher Based off EVERYTHING I have seen them do, it would be a huge profit.
+TheAncientDemon
You can't estimate their profit based on the quality of their work..
Martin -҉ Fair point, if only that were so.
CGI has nothing to do with epicness, it is epic because of the script, acting and atmosphere, all of which can be done without CGI.
because of this I've started playing this game again
thats the point of marketing, fool
cryohellinc it's not foolish to feel like playing new content.
no, however this videos marketing idea did on you exactly what it wanted to. Thats my point
+cryohellinc well its a fucking awesome cinematic which they put alot of money in it...not a bad advertisement
*****
didnt say its a bad cinematic lol
this is how a trailer should be: without telling you about the stroy makes you interested in the story be telling its own story. amazing work.
No matter how many times or how long it's been since I've seen this trailer it gives me chills. Jesus.
3:14 I've known these characters for 3 minutes and this was 10 times more emotional than Kylo killing Han.
Yeah...
Nah, not really. These are just two bald dudes that end up killing each other. Kylo is being torn between light and dark, but kills Han because he believes it will make him stronger. In the end he doesnt feel any stronger, and is only left with shame. Kylo and Han is waaaaaaaaaaaaayyy more interesting
@@eccentricjoe5410 too bad han's character is completely undone and kylo is a poor man's vader
I was actually sorry for the death of the black guy, while couldn't feel anything for Han's
@@eccentricjoe5410 actually yes.
These two baldoes, named Thexan (black) and Arcann (white) are brothers and sons of Vitiate (the old guy).
Vitiate intentionally provoked Arcann's dark side through neglect and when he had too much, he tried to kill Vitiate, only for Thexan to try to stop him and die in the process.
Look at Arcann's eye, he immediately regrets striking Thexan and frees himself from the dark side (his eyes losing that sith yellow and turning back to their natural blue) holding onto Thexan in silent guilt to make sure Thexan didnt die as alone as Arcann felt.
That trailer had more drama, tension, epicness and character development than Episode 7&8 combined. I cared more about the two brothers than about the complete cast of the new movies. Those are the stories I want to see. Dramas, characters development over a long time and not such Mary Sues´s that are omnipowerfull without doing anything.
King of the Ring exactly it's something new and never seen before in a Star Wars movie. 3rd faction that isn't the republic or the empire but something its own who kills both Jedi and sith. 2 brothers born for the sole purpose of destroying the Jedi and sith who's whole life's revolve around training in the force. Thus would make such a fucking badass Star Wars movie.
You are so right. Tell us a freaking story Disney! No character development no real conflict. It’s a bunch of garbage. Take notes from bioware.
"Omnipowerful without doing anything" Doesn't the Old Republic have those in spades? Honestly Rey has a better reason to be so powerful (Because she was chosen by the force to bring balance) than the Knight or Counsellor, whose abilities are hyped af right out of the gates.
King of the Ring Rey isn't a Mary Sue. She had to learn how to fight using a weapon, or even hand to hand combat as she was by herself from a young age.
She knew how to fly ships as she had spent years scavenging and flying them.
So, her talent is quite justified. Plus, she has the force.
Black Guard where is it mentioned she was taught how to use a weapon? Running around with a stick isn't the same as proper training by a teacher. As far as we know there was no one that could have taught her how to fight properly. Maybe she knew how to swing her stick around but that's not enough to justify her being better than kylo and the pretorian guard. Same goes with flying as far as we know she had no training in flying. She was on the ground her whole life.
Plus having the force doesn't justify being that good
There’s so much meaning packed into this short, even just by the facial expressions and hidden meanings there’s so much to discover. Ughhhhh such a masterpiece, also the music is phenomenal
To this day, it's still a masterpiece compared to Acolyte and other Disney Shit.
The manifestation of hatred shown here is very realistic. It festers for years on end without you realizing it, and in a brief second you snap. It controls your every muscle, the very essence of your being. In that moment, you're invincible, capable of unleashing catastrophic damage on everything around you. Then, it goes as soon as it came. In the following moment, remorse fills you like a dam about to burst. Then, you spend the rest of your life dealing with the fallout of your pain
Thats why I always redeemed arcann even as a sith lord. Dude had a hard life,
True story..
nicely said.
@@revolverocelot1380 when I first did it with my juggernaut, I could relate to Arcann as I turned to the light after Ziost leaving my days as the emperor's wrath behind...
@@revolverocelot1380 unrelated but can you do your ocelot yell at the sky?
now imagine if the in-game graphics looked like this.
I'd need a military computer no?

every computer would explode

The transition at 3:46 from complete harmonical chaos to such a powerfull sound gives me goosebumps every single time again... Anyone knows other music like that?
Mae gets KOd and Osha turns. There.
it baffles me that we havent gotten an old republic spin off or series
It is without a doubt the best era in all of star wars
trash boat I think a live action clone wars movie would be bad ass too. I hate all these politically correct star wars movies.
The Legacy stuff is pretty deep, especially when darth krayt shows up on the scene
the thing is old republic is legends stuff. and seeing as disney pissed away all the old canon.... very doubtfull.
I do NOT want a TOR film or anything so long as Krazy Kathleen Kennedy is still in charge
3:18 When a "character" from a 4 minute trailer shows more emotion than any of the protagonists across 7 movies...
five minutes made me care more for the Eternal Princes more than I did for Rey across nine hours
better than the so called Star Wars: The Acolyte show
