Do you know the show I used the music from in the sponsored section?!?
For the record; that trooper wasn't a support character. It's obey of the 6 classes you can play. Jedi, Trooper, Smuggler for the light. Sith, Agent, Bounty Hunter for the dark. After that, you can then pick one of 2 sub-classes each class gets. Each sub-class will determine what weapon and power set you will use. Each class has its own storyline and support characters.
The third trailer, the one from the Sith's perspective, was is support character and a Bounty Hunter character.
After the 3, the rest of the trailers were for expansions. And so the quality got better
The reason why they didn't make movies on any of these characters is the fact that none of this is cannon. This is all in-game world building only. It's the same as all of the books written before the Disney buyout. All games and books were not 'Legacy' stories and not cannon with the Star Wars universe. Only books and games that came out after are a part of the Star Wars universe as a whole.
And no, most of these characters you may only hear of or see briefly during your story playthrough.
"why weren't the last 3 films like that" ... friend that is something everyone who know about SWTOR asked himself million times
Because Disney got no talents
Easy, they hired mostly woke woman and insecure alphabet people who have no personality outside of their multiple unstable sexual identities 😅
And any criticism was filled away as sexism, racism etc because they are in fact weak and suffering from severe inferiority complexes (same reason why so many woman Need to keep telling eachother they are all 10's)
Because admitting you are wrong, not perfect and need improvement, requires actual strength.
The weak on the other hand start screaming, spouting hate and will block you from their profiles 😂😂😂
only brainwashed NPCs ask why, anyone who is not an NPC knows why
If you're talking combat, people would still complain if Rey fought like the jedi in here, but you have to remember that Luke didn't fight like this in the original trilogy either
@@daurydavis3983no it’s not just the fighting it’s the… everything. Creativity, passion, stories, *fighting* , dialogue, designs, characters… the list goes on
"He just cut down his master......of course he did" love having people react who understand what the sith even are like. most just see "bad guys" and not the fact that they are so damn petty and destructive that they go by "Who doesnt kill me makes me stronger, and who does kill me makes the empires stronger"
4:02- His name is Nico Okarr and as indicated, he's a smuggler
10:20- Havoc Squad would put the shame in the clone ARC Troopers and clone commandos as you've just seen, these guys were bold enough to take on the Sith with powerful weaponry and were the Special Forces of the Republic Army at the time
11:44- Jedi Knight Satele Shan, and she was only a Padawan in the first clip Return
12:40- She was using Tutaminis, a Force technique that allows a Jedi to block blaster fire or in this case, catching and holding a lightsaber blade
13:02- Her ancestor was Revan and Bastila Shan
31:40- Malgus essentially went renegade following the Deceived trailer as he became disillusioned of what the Sith had become when the Sith Emperor Darth Vitiate suddenly decided to sign a peace treaty just as Malgus was about to claim the ultimate victory.
Vitiate never really cared about winning the war is the thing. He never cared about the Sith Empire in the slightest. It was only a tool for him. He needed the war to keep going, as the deaths brought from it would allow him to perform a Sith ritual so powerful he could rise to godhood, potentially matching or even surpassing Abeloth (he's performed this riual before to entire planets, but he wanted to perform the ritual on a much larger scale, eventually eradicating all life). Vitiate could have won the war any time he wanted, but he had much larger ambitions than that.
@@SanadaSanadaSanada And of course the only reason why Vitiate came up with the Treaty of Coruscant was because Revan's spirit was able to influence the Sith Emperor into stopping the war. While the peace wouldn't last long, it gave both sides additional time to eventually destroy Vitiate once and for all.
@NakedSnake1836 yeah, when i heard that in the audiobook, I immediately thought of Revan lol
@@NakedSnake1836I read that the Vitiate would have impersonated that leader of the Eternal Empire and through this would eradicate the Sith and Jedi, is that true?
@@lucasprime Not impersonated but possessed Emperor Valkorian as he was used as a contingency plan in the event he was killed, which his spirit would then be trapped on Yavin IV until the Shadow of Revan event occurs when the dark half of Revan unknowingly caused Vitiate's spirit to be freed. This is when it goes to Emperor Valkorian, which then becomes the Eternal Empire event.
What I love in the first clip is the composition. What they're doing is showing off the classes in the game and their weapons while at the same time mirroring the Sith and the Jedi:
04:28 Nico Okarr showing off the iconic dual-pistol Gunslinger class
04:42 Jace Malcolm displaying the cannon, main weapon of the Commando class
05:05 The Sith come in a pair mirroring the Jedi. On the left, a Sith Inquisitor wielding a dual-bladed saber and on the right a Juggernaut with a single normal lightsaber.
05:19 They engage in master vs master and student vs student combat but the classes are reversed so we get the Juggernaut fighting a Jedi Consular and the Inquisitor fighting a Jedi Knight (Consular is the mirror of Inquisitor and Juggernaut the mirror of Knight).
05:37 The SIth can use lightning powers whereas Jedi excel at Force push/pull, using surrounding debris to throw at their opponent, etc.
06:00 The student willingly gives her lightsaber to her master to help him, whereas at 07:00 the Sith student FORCIBLY takes the lightsaber from his fallen master's grip.
06:57 Jedi Knight is now dual-wielding lightsabers, which is the stable of the Sentinel class and of course the Juggernaut mirrors the behavior transforming into a Marauder.
08:15 Finally, whereas the Jedi Master sacrificed himself for his student and to get the message out about the Empire's return, Darth Malgus sees his master's weakness and like a true Sith executes him.
Sacrifice is my all time favorite. Such a clear-cut story, at no point do you not know what's happening in the narrative.
Epic choice!
1. Return - "...And one moving violation"
2. Hope - "KimeHameHaaaaaa!"
3. Decieved - "We call this: Dynamic Entry"
4. Sacrifice - "Don't judge a book by its cover"
5. Betrayed - "When the Intrusive thoughts win"
6. Disorder - "We're from the government and we're here to help."
These are the Sequel events after KOTOR and KOTOR2, thousands of years before the Rule of 2 and the existing filmography.
Nice description! 😂😂
The father is Emperor Valkorion, he lead Eternal Empire which fought both sith and republic. The mother is Senya Tirall.
Its worth noting that he used to be Known as Vitiate and sapped the life from an entire planet and that the Eternal Empire is a second empire he formed while also ruling the empire but basically doing nothing in the old empire as he was preparing is forces in the Eternal empire to destroy both the republic and the empire. Its also interesting that both the empire and the republic stopped fighting to take him down.
@@tigrexknight6520 Sapping life from the planet is almost an understatement. He *ended* everything on the planet, even the planet itself died in the course of his action, even the very force itself had been stripped away there.
Even Nihilus, who we know could suck the energy from planets, feeding mainly on force users to try to sate his unending hunger, did not pull what this guy did. Sure, even if most life on the planet died from his actions, the force was still there and the planet could still recover if given time.
In-setting, what the bastard did was the equivalent of ending everything on a planet _and_ the afterlife in that particular area of space. The guy's scary as all hell. And if memory serves, it is that behavior of his that made both Sith and Jedi work together to bring the guy down, but my memory from that particular part's a bit vague.
@@Elmithianthere's some heavy context to the feat. He required several days to prepare AND needed 8000 sith Lords to even accomplish it in the first place. Creating dead spots in the force I guess is impressive, but the Nihilus downplay is crazy. Vitiate's most impressive feat is a casual Nihilus accomplishment.
@@kylester0055 Nihilus didn't leave dead spots last time I checked. He sucked life-force from people on planets and then moved on but he didn't leave literally unrecoverable holes in the force no?
He was ofc still a multi planetary threat. It is just that things could recover after he was gone. Plus, he was less of a living thinking being by the end and more a hungering force of nature.
Still utterly terrifying, but also predictable.
@@Elmithian Oh no you're right, he just destroyed the entire Jedi Order when he did it is all.
These cgi trailers got me more excited than anything Disney Star Wars has put out for a while. How do you make Star Wars boring? It’s Star Wars. This was awesome like Kai! Keep up the great informative work/reactions dude.
Thank you for watching and I'm glad to hear you enjoyed watching these with me. Watching these gave me actually hope for the franchise and then I remembered how long ago these were out. I've not seen the new Star Wars show, guessing it's not good?
@@kaizammit I heard the clone wars show isn’t good and the movie but I kinda like what I saw of them, I appreciate them more than the slop we get today. Also Outlaws looks terrible and didn’t even utilize the Star Wars music? How did Ubisoft fuck that up?
@@regulardude-22 I don't know who you heard that from, the clone wars movie might be incredibly mid, but the actual show is probably some of the best star wars that has been released. Asides from the occasional filler episode, the show is just phenomenal.
@@regulardude-22only good stuff disney has put out is clone wars s7, rogue one, rebels, and maybe mandalorian. (haven’t seen andor)
These cgi trailers hold up so well that from the time they dropped until JUST THIS MONTH (10/24) I realized that they weren't shot with live action (mocap or otherwise) and were completely cgi. Why hasn't disney caught on yet? They own the rights to the game and by extension the trailers so they have the ability AND THE technology to make it happen. So... disney? Your move
I never noticed that Valkorian smirks right before Arcann's blade reaches him. Such a subtle hint to his manipulations. 21:38
It’s always fun to see people’s first reaction to these :)
These were fantastic and a beautiful reminder that there can be some good Star Wars stories to be had.
@@kaizammit I’ll drink to that 🍻
It's actually an art to react properly. Some people show little respect for works like these by talking over it too much, pausing ever so often, getting distracted and missing crucial parts in it as a consequence. By the things Kai says, you can tell he appreciates this kind of art and he is able to understand everything the creators want you to know. Cudos, Kai.
The soldier in the Hope trailer is Jace Malcolm, he was also in the Return trailer. He has a son named Theron Shan with the Jedi Satele Shan.
Man, I wish Disney could make StarWars like this. This is the kind of StarWars I grew up with. The vibes. The way it was told and shot. Perfect.
Lets goooo! Malgus is my favorite sith so any excuse to watch these trailers again is good enough for me
Amazing!!
If I’m not mistaken, I first discovered you through your first reaction to The Old Republic Cinematics! It feels like full circle even though I’m still sticking around for more breakdowns and reactions to come!
That's so awesome to hear! It took nearly a year, maybe a year for me to cover them all and it's nice to have them all in one place. It was nice for me to watch them all in one sitting again too. Love having you apart of the community Seyo.
@@kaizammit Feels great to be here! Also dang the evolution of your hairstyle has come a long way too haha
Pretty stylish as you do
Haha in the live stream I had curtains, my Raziel look, got that right now as I type this out to you. Problem when growing your hair, I always look homeless. I'm hoping to Live Stream again soon, don't know what yet but what would you like to see?
I can't believe you said "It feels like full circle..." instead of "The circle is now complete..."
@@Sandlund93 You've got a point, but I'm still the learner :D
_Who are those generals?_
They are Arcann and Thexan, sons of Emperor Valkorion(also known as Tenebrae and Vitiate). Latter was Sith Emperor, who wanted to wipe out both Sith and Republic and to rule galaxy alone. Literally, he wanted to kill every living thing in the galaxy, by draining their life force, giving himself effectively a godhood. He used his two sons to wage this war on wider galaxy, against both Sith and Republic.
Valkorion had no love for his sons, they were merely tools for his goals.
And the girl was their sister. He put her in with that sith cult on a planet with no force to keep her under wraps and to also imprint on her a code phrase to render her under his control, because she was SO powerful, the Emperor saw her as a legit threat to him. She was also bat shit crazy.
As for Malgus, he now is a rogue sith in the game. He tried to take over the Empire while Emperor Valkorian was off building his third party Empire(with the Sons and daughter), and failed, then found himself captured and enslaved by the next Sith Empress when everyone thought Valkorian was defeated and gone (he wasn't - he just permanently moved to his 3rd party empire), but broke free and became a sort of rogue sith - a type of Sith Ronin who still embodies the sith ideal, but hates the sith way of doing things, seeing them as weak.
One little touch in the first one for me was that she gave her master her saber to use. Malgus, on the other hand, had to effectively pry the saber out of his master’s hand.
You know guys i've seen Eternal Empire expansion trailer for a million times now but only now i noticed Valkorion actually gave a smirk when Arkann attacked him and Thexan tried to forcepull Arkann
Love that this is the original version of deceived with Malgus original lines. They're so much more intense and fitting.
The third one chronologically, "Deceived" was actually the first trailer released. I was at an anime con panel at the time and they actually stopped their presentation to play the reveal on screen.
Remembering that this was the first trailer released, lemme tell you when all those red lightsabers lit up (nobody had ever seen that many on a screen before, right?) that entire room full of 200 nerds went ABSOLUTELY FERAL.
And then the game was a grindy boring mess that I honestly don't know how is still around today. They should have taken that budget and just given it to whoever did these trailers to make a miniseries.
It’s a real shame all these high quality trailers get used to promote MMOs. Like all the WOW trailers are fucking incredible but I will NOT play a game with a monthly subscription
Grindy mess? When it first came out it was great, the story for each class were not perfect, some got meh fast, but they all start pretty strong and quiet a few stay strong. Specifically the Jedi Knight and Imperial Agent. Worst of the lot really is just Jedi Consular.
The game was actually great haven’t played in a few years but played it for a long time
Kai reacting to all my favorite fandoms is why this channel will never cease to entertain me!
What I absolutely loved about the trailers for the base game is how you see Malgus transform. He starts off kinda fresh... and then at the last one you can clearly see he took some blows, needed a breather mask etc. A badass character that takes damage still... not some invincible character. you can see his journey.. Absolute love Malgus. I wish that in the game you could choose to join him. Then the DLC stuff...Valkorian is so awesome... I love the story. The cinematic storytelling is sooooooooo well done!!!
It's crazy how Disney made the acolyte this year, and it is so much worse than these trailers that are around 15 years old.
I've not seen it but guessing from your comment... Miss it?
I wouldn't even say that. I just think it's funny how bioware and Disney Star Wars both haven't made anything that looks near as good since.
@@kaizammit Acolyte is one of those shows that makes you wonder what they spent their $180M budget on. It was relatively pretty (good costume and character designs, good sets, the ships were lackluster) and the acting was mostly good, but the writing was all over the place and IMO their fight choreographers needed to be slapped.
Good acting you say ? whatever you are on hook me up bro the only decent actor is the squid games guy Amandla Stenberg has the emotional range of a rotting piece of wood 😂@@HBHaga
to be honest this is better than anything star wars has ever done period (except maybe one or two fights in clone wars and rebels)
5:43 That's the question all of us are asking. Seriously love the old republic cinematics, I remember watching the first ones as a young boy and I'm still loving them (and star wars in general) now as a 22 year old.
It's genuinely mental that instead of building the New Jedi Order so we could have stuff like this, Disney did a complete and utter disrespectful takedown of the legacy of our characters and destroyed the setting.
I constantly see people hoping they just go over to The Old Republic and give us movies/shows from that era instead, but looks at their track record. Imagine the damage they'll do to it.
I just love how u react, like everyone else who is watching something star wars related that is rly well made. We all turn into kids again, in awe of what we see.
The SWTOR cinematics are some of the absolute finest Star Wars productions. Story, grapglhics, execution...all top.notch. They should make a movie or series with this animation! BioWare crushed it. The game was a blast, too!
5 min in “why weren’t the last films like that “ 😂😂😂😂 we all say the same thing LOL crazy how much this holds up and really makes you feel like a kid again just watching
Malgus is in all the trailers except for the two about the twins and their sister. The way Sateel stopped that lightsaber was by using Tutaminis the same force power that Yoda uses to catch force lighting. When you use it though all the power of whatever you stopped is absorbed by the user and MUST be expelled pretty quickly which is why her force push and force wave are so powerful
When I played this game the guy you see in white at 19:36 the one on the right, I romanced him as a guy and brought him over to my side as a Sith I did it with light side choices it took my Full Dark Side down a bit but was worth it in the end because after that no matter what choice you made it wont effect your relationship with him. I still keep him around in my story forever. Even helped get his face healed up to a degree to undo some damages.
I played through both the knights of the old republic games recently and my love for star wars was reignited.
Still get goose bumps from these till this day, bot over 4000 hours in that damn but when it started goddamn it was something else.
“HAVOC SQUAD, HOO-RAH!” - Big Baby Zezda, Marshall Commander of The Republic Armed Forces.
The first guy was cao zen darch. He held the rank of battle master and was 1 of the best duelist in the order at the time.
Basically, the game's character classes are introduced in the trailers, except for one.
For the Republic, these are the Soldier, Jedi Knight, Jedi Counselor and the Smuggler.
For the Empire, the Sith Warrior, the Sith Inquisitor, the Bounty Hunter and, the class you don't see, the Imperial Agent.
Many people confuse the soldiers in the trailer with Clone Troopers, which they are not. They are normal Republic soldiers, here commando units. The game is set 3,600 years before the movies. Back then there were many Sith and the soldiers were trained to kill both real Sith and Imperial soldiers or battle droids.
its my favorite thing about that last trailer. Your character doesnt appear in it, instead you encounter Malgus as he is leaving the temple
Malgus - such a great story as he evolved.
One of those things we wish has been kept in "canon" - among so many other things - Sidious taught Vader next to nothing about the ancient Sith - the Golden Age, the True Sith, Brotherhood of Darkness - any of it. But, he did gift Vader one thing. In "canon" it was the mask of Darth Momman. In the EU, he gave him the writing of Darth Malgus. Sidious hoped Vader could become Malgus and beyond which is why he wanted him to learn of him. But - Vader never did.
Vaylin is the most powerful character in Star Wars (maybe same powerlevel as Palpatine)
She also got the best line in all of Star Wars....
"I want you to find our enemies and burn their bodies into glass. I WANNA CRAFT A WINDOW OUT OF THEM!!!"
Also, at the point of the last cinematic, Malgus is 63 years old.
26:43 is shot like that because Senya told Vaylin to stay behind her and so fought and moved as if she was right behind her
While the gameplay isn’t quite the graphic quality of the trailers, the trailers do a good job of showcasing all the moves the various classes can do while fighting.
If your interested, you should watch a fan made animation called " The awakening", by Gabriel Christtiane. Its a 40k animation made by a single fan aside from the voice acting, and it really impressive what one person did for his community in 3 years. Highly recommended!!
"Why are they not making movies about THESE characters, they'd be WAY better!" My dude I could not agree more. Give. Me. Quality. Star Wars.
That guy is the father to the twins and the girl is called Emperor Valkorion. He's a dark side entity that just body snatches people. Originally he was called Tenebrae(Vitiate) and was a member of the original sith species(the red dude from the first trailer are the sith species.) The twins were strong, but the sister was even stronger and he mental blocks put on her to limit her power.
This is an amazing series of clips. Love it.
YESSS so excited to watch this, thank you for sharing this.
"This is reminding me of why I used to like Star Wars"
You and I both man, You and I both😭😂
When Malgus executes his master I always hear a faint voice in my mind: "There can only be one!" and an echo "no, two! you idiot - two! no get yourself an apprentice!"
The video with the young girl who becomes dark, that woman with her was her mother if you’re unaware..she’s also the mother of the twins and emperor vitiate is their father
it was incredible to see these for the first time when they originally came out. gave me so much hope for the star wars universe... unfortunately we are where we are now.
Bioware was really good at story crafting and weaving it all into cinematics. I hope the crew, under new management, is able to continue doing so.
Read the Star Wars: Deceived novel. It's the Malgus story basically. They describe the sacking of Coruscant in such exquisite detail, it's my favorite part! In the novel, when all that chaos is unfolding, Darth Malgus and this other sith lord actually have a sort of pissing contest of Force use to show each other up! 😂
Dang! I learned a few things!!! Plus the reaction was great 🎉🎉🎉
man, "This is reminding me why I used to like Star Wars" is too much truth.
Malgus' title was "the Betrayor", he had no problem killing Sith.
That fourth video with the father and two sons, is emperor vitiate with his sons, he rules the empire in the unknown regions..one of the most powerful sith to grace the old republic
"Why weren't the last three Star Wars films like that?" THIS!!!
In the old EU continuity the events of the game are happening over 3500 years before the original trilogy ...
There is no rule of 2 for the Sith so they operate much more like the Jedi ... with Many Sith Lords that are equivalent to Jedi Masters ... and then you have normal Sith and Sith Apprentices, like Jedi and Padawans
The Rule of Two was created around 1000 years before the prequels, so at the time of the Old Republic, it didn't exist yet and there were a lot of Sith around.
@@cayreet5992 thats what I said :D no rule of 2 :D
These cutscenes give me more joy than all of the Star Wars movies after Return of the Jedi combined.
The lady you dont know the name of is Satele Shan, decendant of Revan and Bastila Shan (In EU)
5:43 *I know, right?!* That question right there is what makes the state of the franchise so damn frustrating, especially considering that *that* trailer released over a decade ago, and the last couple of trailers came out as recently as 2 years ago.
The trailers are also showcasing the abilities of the classes. :)
Darth Malgus is a badass... after coming to the realization, one day while meditating, that his love for his wife, a Twi'lek former slave, would prevent him from truly knowing the dark side, he immediately put his lightsaber through her chest. That self-hatred was enough to fuel his rage to the point he challenged the emperor for control of the Empire.
He lost, of course... but still.
These are not called cinematics for nothing. Truly some of the best Star Wars content ever produced. The quality, the storytelling, both visually and narratively, is superb. A lot of the visual storytelling can go over people's heads so it's nice to see someone who works in film appreciate all the subtle film nuances. They could make a 2.5 hour movie of this and people would line up to see it. Nobody wants a mediocre live action Star Wars story. Disney owns this now and clearly have some of the best animators on the planet making game trailers. Make an animated movie! What is Disney thinking? They should get back to their roots and make a stunning animated Star Wars movie. I would go see it.
14:10 he was the Trooper that escaped with her in the first one. It was him, the smuggler and her.
Oh hell yeah. this will be a treat
This was a fun watch.
how are you only just getting to this brother????
better late than never i suppose lol
great video mate, keep em coming.
Thanks for watching
We thought it was over
Little did we know we would get this masterpiece
I salute you sir 🫡🫡🫡
Enjoy the extended experience. I'll do this with a few other franchises too.
@@kaizammit yeeeessss
Finding out why Orr didnt want to tell Sa'har about the machine was hreatbreaking. Its pretty much a torture device that shatters your mind so the Emperor's could plant a bit of his mind into kids. No wonder he was scared of the plans getting out after what was done to him
Its a galactic crime not to make a movie like this.
So Satele* is a padawan in this trailer, by the end of her life, she is the 2nd strongest force user in known space. the strongest being her husband Revan. she also has zero issue killing. im not saying she loves it but she wont ever lose any sleep on the amount of bodies shes put in the ground either lol.
Satele and the soldier who saves her end up having a fling that results in a son. She’s ashamed of him partly because the boy has no Force sensitivity. And yet the boy grows up to be a badass, managing to bring down a powerful Sith Lord
I actually love the Star Wars universe.
But I've never been a huge fan of any of the movies i have to admit.
But the books, comics, games (especially SWTOR and Star Wars: The Force Unleashed) is just chefs kiss.
8:30 it is the way of the Sith
14:00 That massive support character (Jace Malcom) impregnated Satele (that Jedi) in a secret love affair. And fun fact, She is grand grand daughter (five or six generations apart) of legendary Darth Revan.
Power shifts quickly in the sith empire.
Back in the old republic days when there were way more sith and jedi they trained soldiers to be force resistant. To capture or kill enemies
*QUACK, I love StarWars man. (proceeds to smile ear to ear taking in the game cinematics). 😁😁😁 This is the StarWars we all love, lite motif intro, battle of the fates score as Sith & Jedi battle to protect the universe or plunge it into chaos.
If you only knew about Darth Nhilus....Look the cinematic , Darth Nihilus: Fall of Katarr. And you see a true monster and the extent of how powerfull the Dark Side can be.
These trailers have more story and emotion and better characters then what Disney gave us for 3 movies.
Just for perspective on when the games take place in the Star Wars universe, this is well before the rule of two for the Sith if I remember correctly and this is several Millennia before the movies that we know and love
Fun fact, in that last animation Malgus is pushing 80 years old. He’s called traitor by the sigh because he rejects the sigh council, seeing them as foolish for preferring “pure blooded” sith. He left the order to create his own, without discrimination. Yes, Malgus quite the sith because he didn’t like racism, he is based
which is what made him so dangerous. If he actually got a chance to engage with the rank and file imperial troops he could probably take over the entire sith empire because unlike the rest of the sith counsel he actually saw value in what others could do.
"He just cut down his own master?"
*Reboot noise. Remembers Sith are evil.*
"Of course he did"
Lol
Dont think anyone ever really noticed that Twilek thats with Malgus was the same one Nico Okar checked out in the first cinematic, she obviously infiltrated the station to sabotage it.
The reason there's so many sith, is that the story of the old republic is set about 3000 years before the original movies. Before the 'rule of 2'.
make star wars knights of the old republic tv show please
Malgus is in my top sith
16:43 if only Disney had understood that for the last trilogy
Thanks for the video.
You have a lot of good videos where you talk about interesting things about good cinematics.
It would be interesting to see your reaction to bad cinematics or not good ones. Common mistakes etc..
I wished the movies were this good. They could have made the sequels about the old republic era which include Revan, Malek, Nihilus, vitiate and other characters like meetra surik, Exar Kun and Kreia
The other cinematics we're 'old' so they're less fidelity but they're still quality. But as time went on technology got better and we are getting amazing cinematics from Blur Studios.
I'm not sure if you know who Drew Gooden, but recently he release a video talking about how he feels like media in all forms seems to want to waste our time, and while doing so he commended individuals on UA-cam who make videos not because they believe it will make the numbers in their analytics go up, but because it is the kind of video they believe their viewers want to see. The intro to this video instantly made me think of that, so kudos to you! I've been enjoying your content about as long as you've been on the platform, and I can't wait to watch more! Much love from the states my friend
I've done a compilation for viewers because some people don't want to jump around to six different videos plus this might be the first time someone has seen the channel. Also, some viewers don't want the breakdowns, just the reaction part. If I can help someone enjoy the videos more, then I'll always try. Thank you for being apart of the community fella!
there is a description of a someone that activate and deactivctes. you shall call corp in any way
The Star Wars stories we deserve, sadly not what we get. Crazy part is, these still check the boxes of the modern Disney approach. I don't even know if they consider these canon anymore.
"The Annihilation of our people will not be left unpunished" - Darth Sidious .
The Sith took revenge on the Sith Holocaust the Galactic Empire and the Jedi put on them 1000 years ago on Korriban. Remember..the Jedi, the "good guys"
i remember watching the first old republic trailer when i was like.. 10 or 12
5:46 you have to remember that the sequels take place in a time where jedi are extinct so the fighting style in here and the prequels is lost to time. You also have to remember that the fights between old Obi- wan and Vader, and Luke and Vader were not like the old style either and were still praised
You should watch the Old Republic timeline videos. Thosd are fantastic both from artistic and lore perspective.
these cutscenes really are better than anything the Star Wars movies have ever done
I will point out to those that haven't tried it, that SWTOR is free-to-play and is a lot of fun. While newer content requires a subscription (a one-month subscription permanently unlocks all content released up to that time), there is a lot of content available completely free.
