@@ThisHandleSystemCanGetNicked yeah that may be - still Rogue One turned out alright. Solo wasn't too bad either if we ignore some cringe and.. Darth Maul 😢
@LukeB Fair point, heh. And I get that a-lot of what we see in the movies is for cinematic sake. I remember watching a lore video from someone, I forget who, but they said blaster bolts that don't outright kill a person still hurt extremely bad, so even if the armor does absorb the blast, it still feels terrible and can cause pain induced trauma.
shamrockSardonic well, plot armor is amazing yes. But in lore, most storm troopers and most soldiers wearing body gloves. Survive unless used by exceptionally high powered weapons. They usually are rendered unconscious though.
@@wingzero7X I've read something like it is to disperse energy weapons energy, is like a bullet proof vest that stop bullets but you get the energy of the shot anyway. The armor is some kind of ceramics with special materials and construction that can stop even "slugs" (physical bullets). Most weapons in SW universe are some kind of molten chemical, hence ceramics can stop it too. The issue would be like in our current combat armor kits, the rating of it and the weapon used. No matters how much armor you wear, a .50 cal MG will make a hole on you unless you have a 30mm tick armor plate. In SW clone/trooper armor is just as regular level II armor given to soldiers, it will stop most common weapons but not all and military weapons are made to pen it. Just like a 7.62 anti armor AP round will fuck up any soldier with a bullet proof vest under level IV rate. And even so, it will knock you out when not break bones and cause tissue damage/hemorrhages.
most stormtroopers that get shot actually survive. but it just knocks them out and they break some bones. instead of having the blaster bolt concentrate in one spot it spreads the energy over the entire armor.
@@Blackdeathgaming-yv1kk Tell that Jon Favreau, He's made Storm troopers and their armor more useless, than Star trek Red shirts in the Mandalorian, boba fett killed several with a fucking club, out of all things.
If Loacher Films decided they wanted to make an entire Old Republic movie and have it for sale as a bundle of all the videos put together, I'd feggen buy a digital copy of it!
@Jay Stew From what I heard of it, it's difficult for me to get into his vision for Ep.9 because it supposedly honors TLJ to a large degree which I couldn't stand. I just threw out Trevorrow's film to get animated because it could still be better than TROS and the script is already available so it's more realistic to get someone to animate than having to write an entire trilogy (or 2 other films) beforehand. But an entirely redone sequel trilogy even in animated form is always the real goal.
@@KikomochiMendoza No, they were Sith troopers. This is based on The Old Republic series of games, set during the Jedi Civil war, where some Jedi split off, became Sith, and went to war with the Order. Those troopers were the Sith’s troopers, hence the name.
Wow, the storytelling, camera angles, lighting, sound design, voice acting, rigging, and movement... I'm hooked... LoacherFilms continually bringing us Studio Quality productions for FREE! Just joined your Patreon man, I love your work so much...
The only thing I noticed That’s even slightly iffy about this video is how the walking animations seem like everyone lags. They step and then like jolt. However, this was super well made. Most definitely a save
That's the only thing that really stuck out to me to me as well. Absolutely AMAZING animation but when anyone walks it seems a little robotic. Everyone walks the same way with no behavioural differences.
Michel Welling no your right Reeves is kinda old I just feel some editing can easily fix that but I only suggest it being Keanu Reeves so strongly because he looks exactly like Revan in SWTOR
@@DatManJB I mean its not like thats a big problem, youd just have to cgi out his wrinkles and the grey hair a bit since revan is 38 in kotor 1 and late 40s at max when he dies / in reborn revan form
Honestly the animation, voice acting and story telling are top notch, when I first heard them talking I tought "oh no, its is going to be kinda cringe" but you got the voice acting very fluid and natural, I felt like it was real, the fight scene between them and the sniper was very well done, the hits looked like they had power they connected very well! I also love the bullet impacts and bullet holes, the are very realistic looking a fit well with their enviroment, the story flowed well too, it was simple but effective, also the voice actors really nailed the raw feel If I was hard pressed to come up with something bad all I could think of was the walking animation was a bit stop and go, it didn't have the fliud constant motion and looked as if they kept stopping with evey step, but even that doesn't take away from the story animation or visuals, and I still think its a really good short film If I had to rate it I'd give it a 9.5/10 as there is always room for improvement!
Yeah, I noticed the walking cycle being a bit robotic but that seems to have only been a problem with the far shots as when the camera is on their legs as they move the animation seems a bit more fluid.
Agreed, felt some macro movements such as walking and setting down the rifle were a bit stuttery, but the rest of the animation worked great. Voicing and action were fantastic, I'd love to see more of these works
It's so refreshing seeing fully armored solders fight against other human or humanoid factions. Normally I love seeing clone troopers in action but having them always fight droids is a bit emotionless sometimes seeing that they're only machines.
It's only better to see trooper fight other troopers is because how gruesome it can get and plus the clones were usually the ones getting their shit pushed in when they did
@@wet_weather_imp exactly, I like how in the old republic cinematics u see droids been used as support, not the main bad guys, makes it feel more gritty.
An army of darth vaders controlled by a sub-darth vader against clones in a universe with identical spaces ships but more modern than the original trilogy (while this happens 4000 years before).
This does not have the “clunky fan film” feel to it. Everything from the dialogue to the movement looks and feels like expertly done animation. And most importantly it’s set in the old republic era. Well done to all you people for being to life a Star Wars dream.
The animation is of, it's a bit clunky and lacks weight which is pretty common in motion capture (which I'm assuming is what they used). Also the voice acting could be improved a bit.
While a bit ‘jittery’ or something, this looks phenomenal. Yes some of your early ones were ‘smoother’ or something, I don’t know the exact words but their movements are far more realistic and feel grounded and also more emotive. You should really do collabs. Someone who does cinematography and someone who does the writing and all. You could create content close to levels of real studios.
Yeah I also saw the kinda awkward jitter that they had, it also kinda sucked when I saw that they all take steps at the same time, but I'll justify it with the fact that they're military.
@@DustMug whilst yes I did also notice the marching being a bit wierd, they are clonetroopers and have probably been trained to walk in a marching pace. But from the way they walked it looked a bit nonchalant so having it be a little bit of beat wouldnt hurt. And when it comes to the walking/combat animations, some of them looked good mostly becous they wernt in a loop i suspect. Becous in the beginning you can clearly see when the loop restarts. Thus that will have to be a little bit smothed out.
@@dragonboi1821 There is an Sith Empire in the Old Republic times and it has Imperial Agents. Nothing wrong with his statement (also, I see you tryna be smart, it just makes you seem dumber)
I adore how emotionless you made the Empires troops almost like machines where as the Republic soldiers are more human checking on each other and having banter. It’s just a great bit of story telling the authoritarian Empire vs the freedom loving Republic.
If I remember correctly (I don’t have much experience with old republic lore) the Republics soldiers where people, not clones like during the clone wars, so these were people that had probably trained together for years and had become close friends.
Just not fan of their helmets very distracting have no idea what part of the helmet is what compared to the Republic troopers who’s deigns just come together so well.
They're not emotionless, we the viewers just don't have access to their comms. The "two - there - go" sign that the sniper gave could have easily been just supplementary to the radio banter.
When he said "nothing beats a good blaster at your side " I could almost hear Ewan as Obi Wan say "so uncivilized" On a side note that was really well done, the walking/running animations were a bit choppy, but hey I couldn't have done a single frame of this so there's that too.
Man, we need more Old Republic trooper elated content. That armor is perhaps the coolest the set of armor I've ever seen in Star Wars, and that's even up against RC Kitarn armor.
@@ethanbolger6690 I've never actually played the game, but in the Edge of the Empire game my friends and I play, my DM gave my trandnoshan mercenary a power armor variant of it... I am now nearly unstoppable in combat, and look sleek as hell while doing it.
This is Star Wars. This is the Old Republic that Legends created and I pray to God Disney never touches the Old Republic. They need to make their own shit and leave Legends as it is.
@@travis8543 one of the first things Disney did after wiping the slate clean was do their own, very quick and stupid, version of pre EP1 history, before the High Republic stuff too.
Knights of the old republic definitely just not a big fan of the artistic seen in the Old Republic lacking the retro look Star Wars has while KOTOR definitely had a unique look it felt like it was still in the past while Old Republic looks more advanced for some reason but still love the lore of the era the designs I do love are the Jedi Armours seen in the trailers there basically updated models from KOTOR.
Yo Star Wars cantina what’s up? Haven’t seen you and a while. If I remember correctly one of you are named luke or jake. I’m sorry I forgot I haven’t seen you guys in a while
3:28 at this scene for some reason, i forgot i was watching an animation, and i thought that it was a cutscene of a game, and that i would be able to control the character. That was really strange
the real sith troopers. great work man! you are one of the best animators I know. you can do things I could never even hope to do. I've always been intrigued by the old republic era, but I was never able to play the games because I'm broke as hell. glad you made an animation about them.
If they ever make a show about the Old Republic, they need to contact you. We just met these Old Republic Troopers, and already we love them. Well done mate!
Well, I would say that it kinda seemed like the Sith troopers in this vid, did not use coms, checking on one another like the Reps did. Which is why they always lose I suppose.
@@bcunt2639 Most of them ended in an imperial victory as long as the Sith behind them did not start to waste resources and kill oneanother for power plays or just sacrificed troops for no real reason.
@@Thareldis I would disargree. There are a lot of battles lost because of sith infighting but its definitly not the norm. We also have to remember that the infighting is a part of the empire just like the corruption is for the republic.
This armor is perfect, it has a great design, and I would definitely approve it as a phase 3 if I had one, I'm not counting the one from the storm tropper era
The only person I would trust to do a full scale KotOR series would be Dave Filoni, but I am a bit saddened that I heard he wanted to do a short series for Bad Batch instead of paying tribute to Delta Squad Republic Commandos which is what people actually want.
dave filoni is cool, but dont trust him too much, he's on record shittalking fans... altho i still agree he's a good director and would love to see more from him, maybe he can redeem himself if he does something like the clone wars again
KV Productions He was shit talking fans saying that they don’t know What George thought of Star Wars. Most fans of Star Wars think it’s the one of the greatest sci-fi franchises; however, he knows that Star Wars is more a celebration of different cultures and cinema.
I was listening to the voices, watching the animations taking in everything and it takes me back to the good old days of Red vs Blue..Holy cow man this was amazing
I cant begin to tell you the amount of joy this brought me, seriously amazing is an understatement this was art and passion. Whenever I see you post I know its gonna be great! Defiantly gonna share this around absolutely fantastic work!
YES! Someone giving the old republic the love it deserves! It's so awesome to see quality film-making done on these Star Wars shorts. Great great work!
Lol I noticed that too. I guess it’s just second hand nature from being in the military. They are bunched up anyways but hey they’re clones. Typical Star Wars scenery😂
I love this. I would love more videos like this. My only criticism is that some of the walking is a bit robotic looking, but everything else is top notch. The visuals, effects, sound, and action sequences are awesome :)
I like how you managed to insert real-life tactics into this to make it feel a little more realistic. Congratulations, excelent film. (and man, Disney should start hiring this fan animators, seriously, i've seen some pro-level editting there!)
Did you understand anything cause I, was bamboozled by the fact that there were both empire and republic troopers fighting against each other. Is this canon?
@@lukekor this is a fan made film i’m guessing but this time period most likely takes place 1000 years before the attack on coruscant. SWTOR and KOTOR are both canon and this is a fan made film based in this time period
this is really, really good. I like that they add more than just "I'll cover you" by also saying that what they are doing is suppressive fire because TOO MANY times have i just heard; I'll shoot aimlessly into the sky and that will explain everything. Great work! I know this is unfair to say but the film was a little choppy at the beginning, but then again i could barely tell.
@@dwightwashere7174 the sequels were a mess that couldn't decide what It wanted to do, it just rehashed the original trilogy, it went nowhere and didn't accomplish anything, it was empire vs rebels round 2 but now everyone is dead lol
Just by watching this i became interested by the old republic. After i watched this i immediatly started to play star wars the old republic. It's crazy how you made me realize i was missing a whole star wars era with just one single video
Shows how the fans have more love and appreciation for the franchise than the multi million dollar company that craps out half assed sludge and gets mad when we call them out for it. Great job on this! I would watch this 20 times before I watched any of the sequels.

Man, we need more Old Republic trooper elated content. That armor is perhaps the coolest the set of armor I've ever seen in Star Wars, and that's even up against RC Kitarn armor.
I love using the set on my trooper and companions
@@ethanbolger6690 I've never actually played the game, but in the Edge of the Empire game my friends and I play, my DM gave my trandnoshan mercenary a power armor variant of it... I am now nearly unstoppable in combat, and look sleek as hell while doing it.
SITH TROOPERS!!! Loacher, you’ve really outdone yourself with this one.
This is Star Wars. This is the Old Republic that Legends created and I pray to God Disney never touches the Old Republic. They need to make their own shit and leave Legends as it is.
The irony
Too late. Waaay too late

@@travis8543 one of the first things Disney did after wiping the slate clean was do their own, very quick and stupid, version of pre EP1 history, before the High Republic stuff too.
@@lorewalkermaohao4602 where can I find it
The Old Republic is the best Star Wars era, duel me.
Also: I love the Han reference at 5:34
Knights of the old republic definitely just not a big fan of the artistic seen in the Old Republic lacking the retro look Star Wars has while KOTOR definitely had a unique look it felt like it was still in the past while Old Republic looks more advanced for some reason but still love the lore of the era the designs I do love are the Jedi Armours seen in the trailers there basically updated models from KOTOR.
@@CaptainAmercia well old republic is 1000 years after KOTOR
Supersonicspyro 2577 advanced compared to Clone Wars and Galactic civil war but this could be explained by a dark age of technology

You don't happen to be Sullustan, are you? Because I hear that they have a really great hearing in the Galaxy.
Wow! Such inspirational filmaking!
Wow didn’t expect to find you here! (Love your vids)
Love this channel.
Didn’t expect seeing Johnnyflash here love your vids
Hey Johnny you could make transformers videos using this thing that he uses if you learn how to use it

Why we still haven't receive Star Wars Old Republic movie. We should have got this instead of the sequel trilogy.
Facts
Don’t want dinsey ruined old Republic era and darth revan.
@@xxcaptninjaxx4301 i know right, i prefer bioware to direct it as they did for the SWTOR trailers and cutscenes
you didn't receive it because it's not canon
@@Amira-rg3sk because of disney it's not
Loved the look of the trooper’s armor. Very well done.
This is absolutely amazing! I'd live to have your permission to use this in a future video at some point! 👌👍💪
You and loacher should do a colab
Shut up
@@bini2851 bruh
Shut up
Yo Star Wars cantina what’s up? Haven’t seen you and a while. If I remember correctly one of you are named luke or jake. I’m sorry I forgot I haven’t seen you guys in a while
I’m guessing they call him Hax because the enemy players calling out “Hacks!”.
3:28 at this scene for some reason, i forgot i was watching an animation, and i thought that it was a cutscene of a game, and that i would be able to control the character.
That was really strange
Hmm
Would make a pretty sick game tho to be honest, I can already see how it plays out
3:53 was that moment for me
Yo, same
@@CalRizz Star Wars the Old Republic 2 would be a most likely title for it lol
Love your work 🔥
This 6 minutes has been better than the 6 hours of the sequel triology
*_GLAD TO KNOW IM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO THINKS THIS_*
This is revolutionizing Star Wars fan films
The possibilities are endless with CG that good !
the real sith troopers.
great work man! you are one of the best animators I know. you can do things I could never even hope to do. I've always been intrigued by the old republic era, but I was never able to play the games because I'm broke as hell. glad you made an animation about them.
*sees image of Red sith troopers from the Sequels*
Perfection
Even tho i have no idea what the old republic is i still geniuenly enjoyed this film, such a great piece of both work AND art.
Its quality content time
6 minutes of this gave me a better star wars feeling than 6 hours of the sequel trilogy. Good job man hope you make it further!
This is probably exactly how the battle would go too if this actually was to happen
If they ever make a show about the Old Republic, they need to contact you. We just met these Old Republic Troopers, and already we love them. Well done mate!
NPC's in SWTOR when there is no one around. Then the moment a Player shows up they become idiots.
Idk what u talking about
Well, I would say that it kinda seemed like the Sith troopers in this vid, did not use coms, checking on one another like the Reps did. Which is why they always lose I suppose.
@@Hammern28 i mean they lost in the end but in TOR the battles not always end with a republican victory.
@@bcunt2639 Most of them ended in an imperial victory as long as the Sith behind them did not start to waste resources and kill oneanother for power plays or just sacrificed troops for no real reason.
@@Thareldis I would disargree. There are a lot of battles lost because of sith infighting but its definitly not the norm. We also have to remember that the infighting is a part of the empire just like the corruption is for the republic.
"thats a 2nd direct hit you survived today! You good?"
"yeah...oh... lets not get a 3rd one though! i think i had my fill..."
okay... THAT was gold
Very gold
No it wasn't, it was Diamond.
i could really see dave being in charge of an old republic series
This armor is perfect, it has a great design, and I would definitely approve it as a phase 3 if I had one, I'm not counting the one from the storm tropper era
you're making all my childhood lego star wars animation dreams come true, i feel that story telling again
This is way too good...
I should be paying for stuff like this
Who else thinks that Disney should really do something with the Old Republic era?
No thanks.
I agree. They need some love too.
i want an old republic series but with what happened(the sequels and all) I'm scared to see what Disney would do to it
@Isaac Altman Agreed, Kathleen can go and get fired pls.
I want an old republic series but like I hope that it’s with Dave filoni or a like minded person
It’s Beautiful. I’ve looked at this for five hours now
It’s so sad that Disney has neglected old republic. At least fans make amazing shorts like this
Why are you sad? Would you like them to ruin The Old Republic era as well? I think we've had enough of their trilogies.
Aleksandar Stojanovic for real
Don't you fuckin dare to let them ruin TOR. If they want to waste money on High Republic, sure, but don't touch TOR.
@Shayan I don't blame Disney, only LucasFilm and it's directors. Kennedy and her puppets are like poison.
Well considering disney level of competence, I don't want them to touch the old republic.
The only person I would trust to do a full scale KotOR series would be Dave Filoni, but I am a bit saddened that I heard he wanted to do a short series for Bad Batch instead of paying tribute to Delta Squad Republic Commandos which is what people actually want.
I don't see why the Bad Batch wouldn't cameo Commandos
Good thing he doesnt care about fan service
dave filoni is cool, but dont trust him too much, he's on record shittalking fans... altho i still agree he's a good director and would love to see more from him, maybe he can redeem himself if he does something like the clone wars again
Chris Avelonne (I think that's how you spell it) would be a good choice for lead writer. He was the mastermind behind Kotor 2.
KV Productions He was shit talking fans saying that they don’t know What George thought of Star Wars. Most fans of Star Wars think it’s the one of the greatest sci-fi franchises; however, he knows that Star Wars is more a celebration of different cultures and cinema.
Better gunfight than the entire Disney Trilogy. And the voice acting alone is top notch.
Amazing, I like how the old republic Sith troopers look. Its nice to see them again.
As much I love the Clone Wars and the Grand Army of the Republic, a game like this would be epic to play
Swtor
Its called knights of the old republic 1 and 2.
And the old republic on pc.
???? The old republic exists because we have them in video games
Can we just appreciate how much not only the story telling has improved, but also how much better the animation has been getting? This is amazing!
I was listening to the voices, watching the animations taking in everything and it takes me back to the good old days of Red vs Blue..Holy cow man this was amazing
This is so cool one of the best films I've seen especially since they went to old republic where there were on cammandos and with troopers
How does this guy have under 1 million?
Honestly, everything is so smooth, and the envitonments are beautiful. Keep doing what you do Loacher!
I cant begin to tell you the amount of joy this brought me, seriously amazing is an understatement this was art and passion. Whenever I see you post I know its gonna be great! Defiantly gonna share this around absolutely fantastic work!
When loacher films makes something awesome:
Not a surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.
YES! Someone giving the old republic the love it deserves! It's so awesome to see quality film-making done on these Star Wars shorts. Great great work!
"Establish a perimeter" everyone proceeds to stand still.
Lol I noticed that too. I guess it’s just second hand nature from being in the military. They are bunched up anyways but hey they’re clones. Typical Star Wars scenery😂
@@Froggy1000 Actually these guys aren't clones!
Old Republic soldiers were regular enlisted people
yeah, lmao - the clones were the soldiers from the clone wars. these dudes were regular enlisted people, like taylor said
@@Froggy1000 Well these are people, not clones, maybe they are new guys? heh
I love this. I would love more videos like this.
My only criticism is that some of the walking is a bit robotic looking, but everything else is top notch. The visuals, effects, sound, and action sequences are awesome :)
I want a Gary just going home to his wife and playing games with the kids. I want stormtrooper argument over who does the dishes.
I like how you managed to insert real-life tactics into this to make it feel a little more realistic. Congratulations, excelent film. (and man, Disney should start hiring this fan animators, seriously, i've seen some pro-level editting there!)
4:03 miss this brutal stuff in Star Wars, best part outta the whole film!
I was confused and amazed at this funky new armor until I read 'The Old Republic' in the title. I'm not confused, but I'm no less amazed!
Did you understand anything cause I, was bamboozled by the fact that there were both empire and republic troopers fighting against each other. Is this canon?
@@lukekor this is a fan made film i’m guessing but this time period most likely takes place 1000 years before the attack on coruscant. SWTOR and KOTOR are both canon and this is a fan made film based in this time period
@@lukekor Even if it was official, it would fall under the Legends canon instead of _canon_ canon.
@@thehonestfork thanks for the explanation :)
@@wimpwampwomp oh okay, got it ;)
If you can increase the fluidity and imperfections of the characters movements then these films will be flawless.
this is really, really good. I like that they add more than just "I'll cover you" by also saying that what they are doing is suppressive fire because TOO MANY times have i just heard; I'll shoot aimlessly into the sky and that will explain everything. Great work! I know this is unfair to say but the film was a little choppy at the beginning, but then again i could barely tell.
This looks like this would be a cutscene for a video game!
This is how playing war with friends at recess in elementary feels like
Lets be honest, if disney touches old republic it's forever gone...
No the Sequels were awesome
@@dwightwashere7174 the sequels were a mess that couldn't decide what It wanted to do, it just rehashed the original trilogy, it went nowhere and didn't accomplish anything, it was empire vs rebels round 2 but now everyone is dead lol
Dwight Was Here Funny joke lol.
Good thing i quit the game recently, awaiting disney to swoop in and destroy the era
Dwight Was Here sequels were a mess, even Daisy Ridley admitted that
Just by watching this i became interested by the old republic. After i watched this i immediatly started to play star wars the old republic. It's crazy how you made me realize i was missing a whole star wars era with just one single video
Tell me how this video is way better than the whole sequel trilogy.
in every way possible
Just put this guy in charge of Star Wars films from now on
For the Republic ! ! !
couldn't have said it better myself
Engie Man well that’s how everyone says it
For the empire!
One of the reasons why they should make The Old Republic movies.. they can be small but amazing, as shown here. Love this, keep it up!
Shows how the fans have more love and appreciation for the franchise than the multi million dollar company that craps out half assed sludge and gets mad when we call them out for it. Great job on this! I would watch this 20 times before I watched any of the sequels.
Not gonna lie, you could create a really good Star Wars series.
still better than what the havoc armor was IN GAME.
4:12 That second Sith Trooper from the right just pretends that he would shoot. Seems like he wants to save ammo. Good Short Film!
lol
This was fantastic I really "felt" the combat. Talking strategy over just random action. Even getting into a bit of melee. Great Job.
I wish we would’ve gotten a Star Wars Battlefront 2 update that was the old republic
That was amazing. Yeah, the walking was a bit jittery, but there just isnt enough good old republic stuff out there. Thanks for making my day!
I love how both the republic and the jedi gradually lost drip as time went
