1:42 Honestly my favourite part of that moment is that Every. Single. Sith. Felt the need to do a cool pose or motion when they ignited the saber, no two of which are exactly alike. one goes for the dramatic "turn to face the camera", one goes for the big "flash it past my face as it turns on", one goes for the "straight into a combat stance" while another does the "already IN a stance, and remain still while igniting", the two on the wings, (Who clearly know the value of symmetry) both do the "ignite while crouched and rise in unison." And the best of all, that one Sith Trooper on the left hand side just standing there looking around like "Soooo did you guys rehearse this as a group, or individually in front of your bedroom mirrors?" Honestly Sith will always beat Jedi by sheer force of "Extra". Ironic they're on the Darkside when they live for the spotlight.
What if all you must do to be a great Sith is become a theatre kid? Palpatine is a great example. That man is the most outstanding actor in the Galaxy.
As much as the trailers are excellent film making is a whole other thing. And last I checked, Bioware doesn't do filmmaking, so sorry to say, if they did try to make a movie, it would just end up terrible given the lack of and no experience in several key areas. An example is in scriptwriting. As much as we may praise the writing team for making amazing stories, they're all stories with multiple choices, resulting in the story protagonist being a blank slate. That works in a multi-choice game, but in a film that makes the protagonist bland.
It was the droid for me at 2:21. The way they portray it is just so smart, it had guts and priority amid chaos. In that short span of beeping that sounded like an urgent reprimand, u just knew it understood the whole situation as a “pet.” And at the back of my mind i knew this droid was more ancient than r2.
My favorite thing about this trailer is the droid and bounty hunter are companions in game. The droid tells the jedi knight class about his former master that fell to darth malgus, dude with the respirator for those who don't know.
@@thomaskessler5904 damn, I had no idea. That's actually so awesome. They also did some books around the old Republic era which explains revans sland malgus stories.
@@thomaskessler5904 the Twi’lek Malgus is with is also supposed to convey the companion Vette for the sith warrior but it isn’t actually her - it’s Eleena Daru (Malgus’ lover - yep you read that right)
here is what I truly love about these. break down the way they are fighting. they aren't doing like what they are doing in the movies and aim for the lightsabers. they actually aim for body parts, requiring them to either dodge or block the strike. THAT is what I love. they are actually fighting the way you realistically fight, which is you aim for the goddamn body, not the weapon.
This is not true, they aimed for body parts in the films, you can see this if you rewatch in slow motion. Have you watched any fights scene breakdowns like Anakin vs Obi Wan or Luke vs Vader on Bespin? A lot of those strikes would have been lethal if they had landed.
@@That_Guy00 yes, I have seen breakdowns of it by people like Shadversity............ i am sticking with what I'm saying. now, anakin vs obiwan(prequels, not the garbage show) is a excellent fight, but they did a lot of swinging for the lightsaber. and need I point out Luke flying into a rage, striking at the lightsaber, then when vader is down hitting the lightsaber over and over and over and over before FINALLY striking at his hand? the OCCASIONAL body shot by most doesn't make the rule, sorry. in this video, the majority of the strikes were aimed for the body. so yeah...... I'm sticking to what i said mate.
@@scorpionlord9175 For one thing I was referring to the fight on Bespin, you're talking about the in ROTJ which wasn't unjustified anyway; Luke isn't exactly showing technical proficiency there, the point was that he overwhelms Vader with force while in a mindless frenzy. Again this is demonstrably untrue and those two fights aren't the only ones that do this but whatever floats your boat.
@@That_Guy00 Episode I-III they went from seeming like they're trying to kill each other (Maul vs. Qui-Gonn/Kenobi) to just waving the lightsabers around to make the swoosh-zzzt noise (Anakin Vs. Kenobi). You shouldn't have to watch a fight scene in slow motion to not roll your eyes at it.
@@mackgiver875 Let's not act as if there wasn't any of that in the Maul/Qui-Gonn/Obi-Wan fight as well, plenty of useless moves/spins and aiming for the others saber but that's choreography for you. Thing is, watching it in slow motion isn't even a requirement because the fights work on their own merits; there are clearly strikes that would have been lethal if they had landed were the characters were too slow or didn't parry/block. Watching it at slower speeds or looking at fight breakdowns isn't necessary, it just more readily clears up these false takes. But it seems people will stubbornly hold unto their initial opinions regardless.
Still literally one of the best pieces of Star Wars content ever created! SWTOR has been such an important part of my teenage years and now it's 10 years old. Can't wait for the new expansion!
Thats because this series is not at all representative of starwars. This is more like a warhammer 40k story. You can tell because its actually about wars amognst the stars, while starwars is sanitzied white washed garbage for babies. These trailers DO NOT FIT the world of starwars that is canon. They are literally too good, they would NEVER approve something like this as a modern project. It would be about hans teenage years dating a robot and how their relationship was clowned on by robo-racists.
I swear, seeing Coruscant & the Prequel Era Jedi Temple, normally so peaceful & symbolic of the Order, being consumed by fire & destruction at the hands of the Sith/Imperial Navy, it’s just mesmerizing simply by witnessing it. Like we never thought such a scene could be possible, even with Revenge of the Sith & 2003’s “Star Wars: Clone Wars” series bringing war to the planet, yet here it is in full glory. Hell of a first impression by the old Swtor team back then.
Even the jedi at the time didn't think it was possible. The Sith Empire's borders were far from reaching Coruscant, attacking the heart of the Republic in force was a risky move, but it payed off.
@Nick Eh, the Imperial fleet was almost completely focused on Republic defenses and the Sith and their troops stormed the Jedi Temple, so nothing extraordinarily cruel per se. Good thing they used it as political leverage, cause Malgus wanted to do scorched earth.
1:38 - 1:54 always brings chills to me. It looks so much better than the movies. The music and a bunch of Sith in a tight area ignighting their menacing red lightsabers all at once... that is fking cool

So no, I feel more sorry than I am mad
The difference between the elegant movements of the Jedi and the shear force of the sith is so cool to watch. You don’t really see this much of a difference in technique in the movies
Because that's just in the trailer, in the lore the Jedi and Sith are learning the same lightsaber forms. Also depends on the user; Darth Sidious has a very aggresive fighting style while Dooku is much more graceful almost. Anakin as a Jedi was already a bruiser, as pre-suit Vader his fighting style becomes even more aggressive but post-suit, has to be more careful (though still brutal) due to his handicaps.
@@CV-Moore If this trailer was made in the same form as the sequels the Jedi would be like 'we don't fight anymore' and walk away then some scavenger with no training would come in and kill Darth bane with no effort and call themselves Revan.
@@Gdsryrox You realize this was George lucas's original message about the Jedi lol? The idea they were this into violence is what led to its downfall. You are also letting hate make up some stupid as fuck scenario to be mad at.
@@GazingTrandoshan If that is the fact Rey is a bad Jedi, also I am not making up anything that is literally how the sequels are set. Luke unlike his Expanded Universe counter part who remade a more free thinking Jedi order that wasn’t tied to any government and was more peaceful, learning from the Jedi’s past mistakes what we got was was an edge scavenger girl that was the strongest/most skilled force user that didn’t get any training and no one can beat her.
2:01 that music when Grievous and Kenobi are going down the hill on Utapau in ROTS will always be one of my favorite SW tracks. It's just so star wars, the trumpets, wind instruments,etc. Even if it's only like 15 seconds lol
The prequels are far superior to the original trilogy and the sequels in terms of soundtracks in my opinion. As a matter of fact they have the best soundtracks in cinematic history
@@ALJ9000 John Williams; Howard Shore; Nicholas Hooper, Alexandre Desplat, John Williams and Patrick Doyle. I am actually settled on Star Wars being the best.
@@jogsi1558 Oh, of course. Lots of fond memories with a Sith Inquisitor character I made. Wish I had more time to finish the other storylines. I hear the Imperial Agent is fantastic, but I never got past Drummond Kas with them.
That line sounds like something Palpatine would say after order 66. I mean he deceived the entire galaxy into a war and the republic ended up falling because of it.
@@plague6174 and don't forget it's happening in real life too. Stars wars has been a very important lesson to learn for today's society. Like Palpatine said, a New Galactic Empire will be a version of a New World Order in real life.
Thank you all at Bioware for keeping this game up and alive. It’s not easy, especially with a lower budget, smaller team, and during the pandemic, but ya’ll got this!
In my opinion swtor has to be included in the best Star Wars games of all time it captures what I love about the series better than any other Star Wars game since kotor 1 & 2
It is the last game of the Old Canon before Disney took over that is still being Updated to this day. It is the last Fragment of a Bygone Era of Star Wars
@@galacticfirefly6060 Yep, SWTOR is the last remnant of the old EU that is being supported. Disney ignores its existence, but maybe that's for the best considering how they've treated the rest of the franchise.
@@renoblevg5375 it is a 10 year old MMO made to be accessible to WoW players of the time. I don't know how WoW plays like now, but that's how it used to be.
I mean we definitely have the technology to actually make games look like the trailers now look at The Last Of Us 2 and Spiderman Ps4 or GOW hell even Ryse: Son Of Rome there are games with gameplay better than these trailers now the question is who will make a star wars game like that 🤔
@@guillermotoro2342 not true look at Anthem it was shit (because it was developed by EA) but the graphics were pretty good they didn't have to result back to ps2 resolutions to be able to play
@@trvpmusic2569 yeah, but SWTOR is a giganormous game, with decent graphics, and there is a big portion of the community of players who plays in the minimum graphics, like me If the game suddenly became completely 4k, every world and every ship, it would make the game so heavy and so minimum requirements heavy people like myself wouldn't be able to play it
@@guillermotoro2342 it's also a matter of the art style. SWTOR went for the Clone Wars aesthetic, but it could have gone for something more realistic, closer to the style of the trailers. I personally wished they went for the latter, like they did for Star Wars Force Unleashed around the same time. In my opinion it fits Star Wars better.
10 years. Wow. Time sure does fly. I remember being in one of SWTOR's beta weekends before launch and playing for probably 20 hours in those couple days. I got to Taris and that was back when leveling was way slower.
Back then where soloing operations was actually impressive. Where leveling took time and you could not just take on any boss head on. Back when you had to pick companions wisely for boss fights. Most importantly back when there was a base class and then an advanced at level ten. I miss a lot of the old game.
I played a couple years ago around 2017 or so but just started playing more in the last couple months. As hard as it's been, I've forced myself to focus on ONE class instead of doing them all and having to restart. I get so excited to try everything lol. I just finished Taris and am at level 78 because I do all the side missions and everything XD
@@gelul12Really? Sprinting is so basic I can't imagine travelling at a slower speed. Was it true it also took longer to get a speeder, and that you had to use trainers every time you got new abilities?
I remember when I first saw this trailer, I thought Malgus was Darth Vader, that thought started a journey I’ve been on since the game was announced. It’s near and dear to my heart and has given me so many memories, me worries for the expansion aside, I’m happy to be a part of this community and I hope that I still have many more memories to experience with the game moving forward. Thank you community and dev team members both past and present.
I remember watching this for the very first time *10 Years ago* and being unable to control my emotions. And now a *decade* later, I still play this game.
I remember some people were upset that the game did not look like the trailers LOL. I guess they did not understand the concept of "cinematic trailers". Happy 10 years SWTOR!
If anybody still reads books, there’s a book titled Deceived that has been published about this very cinematic the events before and after. The details were so good it made me rewatch this before finishing it.
*_You assumed no force could challenge you..._* Jokes aside, this is some of the best Star Wars media we have ever had. I will never understand how Disney could look at this and think "Guess what people want? HIGH REPUBLIC!". F these people.
This definitely makes me feel nostalgic. I wish we could cycle through and choose from previous load screens and intro music. I'd love to use the original load screen and music occasionally.
Reminds me of the old Star Wars. When Lightsaber combat was an art and when Jedi and Sith were super soldiers with a sword and cool powers. Great work.
Growing up, I watched my mom play Star Wars Galaxies, around when I was 10 or 11, SWTOR released, and I remember watching all the trailers, cinematic and gameplay, with her. She was hardcore into these games and even participated in the big faction wars on Galaxies. I was too young at the time to be captivated by MMO's because they weren't immediate into action types of games, but I slowly grew to love them, and now I play only SWTOR, and it will probably be what I play till the game officially dies. Either because of player count or the servers shutting down. Seeing these trailers reuploaded, brought me to tears because I remember watching them with my mom, both of us on our feet, excited about what would happen next, seeing a world of sith and jedi like never before. Thank you Bioware/EA, EA specifically has done a lot of things wrong with other games, but yall outdid yourselves on SWTOR. PS... LightSide Sith Warrior is the best story line, can't change my mind.
1:12 I love that, while all the other Jedi ignite their lightsabers, ready for a fight, Ven approaches Malgus somewhat calmly. Granted, he has the Order behind him, but part of me wants to imagine he didn’t even want to fight at first. Not to say he wanted to discuss peace, I doubt it. But from his perspective, Darth Malgus just showed up on Coruscant with a singular Imperial Agent alongside him, and is now facing down the entire Jedi Order. I think the first thing he wanted to do was ask his old enemy what the hell his plan even was.
Guess u never played world of warcraft then! 😆 it is a good trailer tho. But there are better ones, imo. Like this for example: ua-cam.com/video/BCr7y4SLhck/v-deo.html
Palpatine: *Spends decades in order to destroy the Jedi in a very risky and slow way* Malgus: "LET'S END THIS SH*T QUICKLY" *Crashes ships full of Sith into the Jedi Temple*
its fun watching these trailers after you played the game because you notice much more characters and actually know who they are, for example only lately i realized the Mandalorian helping Malgus is a younger Shae Vizla
Every time I watch this trailer it is like I am watching it for the first time. So legendary. Disney cannot come close to making anything as good as this.
@@kronic2832 Cheap, cheesy, nonsensical filler in my opinion. Can't stand it. The Force Awakens and Rogue One are about the only somewhat decent Star Wars material Disney has produced.
@@AJDOLDCHANNELARCHIVE your not being foreal are you?? 😆 rogue one yeah pretty decent and a good tie in with andor but the force awakens bro?? It had a good start but the director is just a pure dimwitt for ruining the franchise
@@kronic2832 The Force Awakens is at least respectful to the franchise - The Last Jedi absolutely destroyed it. I haven't watched a Star Wars film since 2017 it was that bad.
@@AJDOLDCHANNELARCHIVE not really bro luke skywalker is a key character and they only put him up on screen for 1 minute just for him too turn around and remove his hood the mandalorian on the otherhand fully redeemed luke by giving us that iconic death trooper scene we all have been waiting for if you ask me the mandalorian is truly the force awakens we should have gotten
This cinematic is better that 95% of all the Disney Star Wars content in *every* way. Better fight scene, better graphics, better characters, better dialogue, everything. Can we get a movie or series made by whoever made this?
Every time Disney breaks my spirit I return to these videos! It makes me smile again. I can’t believe this era and the Acolyte are Star Wars haha… Malgus where are you when we need you the most!!!
I never thought I'd see the day. I remember first seeing these when I started playing in 2013 and always come back to watch em. Seeing them remastered is a dream come true.
I remember seeing this back in the day, mere minutes after it was revealed. Was so hyped for SW:TOR. Will have to get around to playing it again and catching up on all the story content.
This cinematic was done by Blur Studio if I recall correctly. Aside from various video game cinematics perhaps you may also know them from the Netflix animated series Love, Death & Robots.
I am so happy SWTOR is still alive and well despite being trashed by EA from the very start. Even though the team had to make a lot of compromises when it came to expansions they somehow managed and still continue to make it work. People were saying SWTOR was "dead" as far back as 2015 but it's still going so strong. Been playing since 2012 and this game has been such a big part of my life. Can't wait to see what they'll do next.
Back when it came out, people were calling SWTOR the "WoW-killer" but then turned on the game when it didn't become that. Funny thing is that, with the recent turmoil at Blizzard, SWTOR might actually outlive WoW.
@@Nephalem2002 I mean like officially die. Like Blizzard is closed and the official WoW servers are shut down. TBH after all the recent news about Blizzard, they kinda deserve it.
Ahh, love to see this reuploaded in a higher resolution. This is still one of my favorite game trailers, and I've never even played the game! The use of John Williams' great score, the choreography and the voice over is just... (chef's kiss)
Indeed this shit is amazing. Im more of a sucker world of warcraft cinematics tho. 😄 This is also around 10 years old, and not upscaled. ua-cam.com/video/BCr7y4SLhck/v-deo.html 🤩
10 years on, and this is still the coolest Star Wars video game trailer ever, I surprised that they haven’t made full series using this animation style.
Still brings chills to this day, even though i have watched it so many times throughout the years. Would be nice to have a new Cinematic trailer for the next expansion on this level!
I love that it took sidious decades of planning and implementing of an incredibly detailed plan that honestly was really lucky to even work, what with fives almost revealing the whole thing to anakin and rex, him counting on Anakin being susceptible to dark side temptations and other varying factors to drive the jedi into hiding, and malgus really went "Let's just crash a starship full of sith into their temple and beat the crap out of them lol."
Still love the detail that with how the shuttle that crashes through the front of the temple is positioned, none of the Jedi actually saw that sick Lightsaber ignition reveal of all the Sith inside. So the Sith literally just did all that prep for their cool pose and no one else saw it. xD

It makes perfect sense. It is only through passion that they are strengthened. Sometimes, that passion can be found in theatrics.

Anakin as a Jedi was already a bruiser, as pre-suit Vader his fighting style becomes even more aggressive but post-suit, has to be more careful (though still brutal) due to his handicaps.
@@That_Guy00 Dooku is aggressive but also refined and graceful
It's some kind of astonishing that this old 4 to 5 minute trailers show us a clearer and more concludend storyline than the Sequel-Trilogy.
No they don't
@@CV-Moore If this trailer was made in the same form as the sequels the Jedi would be like 'we don't fight anymore' and walk away then some scavenger with no training would come in and kill Darth bane with no effort and call themselves Revan.
@@Gdsryrox You realize this was George lucas's original message about the Jedi lol? The idea they were this into violence is what led to its downfall. You are also letting hate make up some stupid as fuck scenario to be mad at.
@@GazingTrandoshan If that is the fact Rey is a bad Jedi, also I am not making up anything that is literally how the sequels are set. Luke unlike his Expanded Universe counter part who remade a more free thinking Jedi order that wasn’t tied to any government and was more peaceful, learning from the Jedi’s past mistakes what we got was was an edge scavenger girl that was the strongest/most skilled force user that didn’t get any training and no one can beat her.
Making a story for a series of action shorts and making a story for three feature-length films are two completely different things.
2:01 that music when Grievous and Kenobi are going down the hill on Utapau in ROTS will always be one of my favorite SW tracks. It's just so star wars, the trumpets, wind instruments,etc. Even if it's only like 15 seconds lol
The prequels are far superior to the original trilogy and the sequels in terms of soundtracks in my opinion. As a matter of fact they have the best soundtracks in cinematic history
@@topiheimola69 Yep, it’s ever a toss up between Star Wars, Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter.

These cinematics are some of the best Star Wars content out there.

3:07 Imagine seeing your home destroyed and invated in your last moments. That's too hard.
“You were deceived. And now, your Republic shall fall.”
That line sounds like something Palpatine would say after order 66. I mean he deceived the entire galaxy into a war and the republic ended up falling because of it.
@@benjamingavrilis71 History repeats itself
@@plague6174 and don't forget it's happening in real life too. Stars wars has been a very important lesson to learn for today's society. Like Palpatine said, a New Galactic Empire will be a version of a New World Order in real life.
quoting Kathleen Kennedy, right? ^_^
Cool line but not accurate to the book.
1:52 I’ll never forget the look on my friend’s faces when I showed them this trailer for an MMO.
Thank you all at Bioware for keeping this game up and alive. It’s not easy, especially with a lower budget, smaller team, and during the pandemic, but ya’ll got this!
Huge shoutout to Alice as well!
But all the same, that's so true. The dedication at BioWare is absolutely incredible!
I think they still make money with it, there are quite a few subs,me included.
The scamdemic has been over for a while now
@@IMTRUBUM are you dense
2:20 God this droid...he has seen every major event during that time hasn't he?
Hes the r2d2 of the era
I believe he was sent to warn the jedi of the siths return, hence why he pointed out which sith was the leader to master zallow.
In my opinion swtor has to be included in the best Star Wars games of all time it captures what I love about the series better than any other Star Wars game since kotor 1 & 2
Well.. They are literally the people who kept star wars alive for a decade
It is the last game of the Old Canon before Disney took over that is still being Updated to this day. It is the last Fragment of a Bygone Era of Star Wars
@@galacticfirefly6060 Yep, SWTOR is the last remnant of the old EU that is being supported. Disney ignores its existence, but maybe that's for the best considering how they've treated the rest of the franchise.
Best in storyline, gameplay leaves a lot to be desired, sadly.
@@renoblevg5375 it is a 10 year old MMO made to be accessible to WoW players of the time. I don't know how WoW plays like now, but that's how it used to be.
Video quality so crisp, you can actually see one of the sith warriors at 1:45 doing the iconic Obi-Wan fighting stance to the right
yeah, cool i see it 😀
Oh shit I just noitced thats awesome
Form 3 stance
This looks so good in 4K man. Imagine if the whole game looked like this though...
I mean we definitely have the technology to actually make games look like the trailers now look at The Last Of Us 2 and Spiderman Ps4 or GOW hell even Ryse: Son Of Rome there are games with gameplay better than these trailers now the question is who will make a star wars game like that 🤔
Most players wouldn't be able to play it then
@@guillermotoro2342 not true look at Anthem it was shit (because it was developed by EA) but the graphics were pretty good they didn't have to result back to ps2 resolutions to be able to play
@@trvpmusic2569 yeah, but SWTOR is a giganormous game, with decent graphics, and there is a big portion of the community of players who plays in the minimum graphics, like me
If the game suddenly became completely 4k, every world and every ship, it would make the game so heavy and so minimum requirements heavy people like myself wouldn't be able to play it
@@guillermotoro2342 it's also a matter of the art style. SWTOR went for the Clone Wars aesthetic, but it could have gone for something more realistic, closer to the style of the trailers. I personally wished they went for the latter, like they did for Star Wars Force Unleashed around the same time. In my opinion it fits Star Wars better.
Even after more than a decade since its release, this is still my #1 favorite out of all the SWTOR cinematic trailers.
10 years. Wow.
Time sure does fly. I remember being in one of SWTOR's beta weekends before launch and playing for probably 20 hours in those couple days. I got to Taris and that was back when leveling was way slower.
Exactly what I said when I saw the title. I feel old but then again World of Warcraft is 17 years old! :(
Remember you only got sprint at lvl 15. And that took ages lol
Back then where soloing operations was actually impressive. Where leveling took time and you could not just take on any boss head on. Back when you had to pick companions wisely for boss fights. Most importantly back when there was a base class and then an advanced at level ten. I miss a lot of the old game.
I played a couple years ago around 2017 or so but just started playing more in the last couple months. As hard as it's been, I've forced myself to focus on ONE class instead of doing them all and having to restart. I get so excited to try everything lol.
I just finished Taris and am at level 78 because I do all the side missions and everything XD
@@gelul12Really? Sprinting is so basic I can't imagine travelling at a slower speed. Was it true it also took longer to get a speeder, and that you had to use trainers every time you got new abilities?
i didnt notice it until now but at 2:05 the sith that kicked the dude also did a surprise thrust on his landing. pretty cool
I remember when I first saw this trailer, I thought Malgus was Darth Vader, that thought started a journey I’ve been on since the game was announced.
It’s near and dear to my heart and has given me so many memories, me worries for the expansion aside, I’m happy to be a part of this community and I hope that I still have many more memories to experience with the game moving forward. Thank you community and dev team members both past and present.
If Malgus is Vader, who is Sidious? Vitiate?
@@JohnCena-le1jj 😂
I’m guessing zallow is obi wan, or cao ken darach is?
The guys behind these need to make full movies. I’ve watched these over and over. These cinematic trailers are amazing.
I remember watching this for the very first time *10 Years ago* and being unable to control my emotions.
And now a *decade* later, I still play this game.
I remember some people were upset that the game did not look like the trailers LOL. I guess they did not understand the concept of "cinematic trailers". Happy 10 years SWTOR!
One of the best game trailers I've ever seen period
If anybody still reads books, there’s a book titled Deceived that has been published about this very cinematic the events before and after. The details were so good it made me rewatch this before finishing it.
Thanks, Got to check it out
I had to use Upscale AI to have this yet now you just gave it away 😂 awesome none the less 👌
They probably did the same thing but with a high bit rate source
*_You assumed no force could challenge you..._* Jokes aside, this is some of the best Star Wars media we have ever had. I will never understand how Disney could look at this and think "Guess what people want? HIGH REPUBLIC!". F these people.
Now to AI upscale this to 8k 😀
@lolseagull it has malgus.
thats all it needs to be worthy of canon
@lolseagull ok fair enough
trailer malgus is badass though
See this disney? You'll never be as good as this.
I wish the people behind these trailers would make a movie. I'd pay to see that.
I can't believe this and the acolyte are both star wars
This definitely makes me feel nostalgic. I wish we could cycle through and choose from previous load screens and intro music. I'd love to use the original load screen and music occasionally.
I miss the original load screen I still have the regular edition case and the collectors edition with it’s items and the steel book.
just give us classic servers for the old expansions. ill pick it anytime over the current version of the game. back when the game was MMOrpg
One of the best segments of Starwars lore put to video. Every person involved should be treated as legend. Looks even better than it did in 2009.
Reminds me of the old Star Wars. When Lightsaber combat was an art and when Jedi and Sith were super soldiers with a sword and cool powers. Great work.
The way things should be.
When lightsabers didn’t have stupid cross guards
Growing up, I watched my mom play Star Wars Galaxies, around when I was 10 or 11, SWTOR released, and I remember watching all the trailers, cinematic and gameplay, with her. She was hardcore into these games and even participated in the big faction wars on Galaxies. I was too young at the time to be captivated by MMO's because they weren't immediate into action types of games, but I slowly grew to love them, and now I play only SWTOR, and it will probably be what I play till the game officially dies. Either because of player count or the servers shutting down. Seeing these trailers reuploaded, brought me to tears because I remember watching them with my mom, both of us on our feet, excited about what would happen next, seeing a world of sith and jedi like never before. Thank you Bioware/EA, EA specifically has done a lot of things wrong with other games, but yall outdid yourselves on SWTOR. PS... LightSide Sith Warrior is the best story line, can't change my mind.
All these years later, and these trailers are still possibly my favorite depictions of Star Wars to ever come out.
1:12 I love that, while all the other Jedi ignite their lightsabers, ready for a fight, Ven approaches Malgus somewhat calmly. Granted, he has the Order behind him, but part of me wants to imagine he didn’t even want to fight at first. Not to say he wanted to discuss peace, I doubt it. But from his perspective, Darth Malgus just showed up on Coruscant with a singular Imperial Agent alongside him, and is now facing down the entire Jedi Order. I think the first thing he wanted to do was ask his old enemy what the hell his plan even was.
I remember pre-ordering it. 2021 and I still play. Thanks for this game Bioware.
10 years later and these cinematics still give me goosebumps!
Shit never gets old.. best cinematic’s for any game ever!!!!!
Guess u never played world of warcraft then! 😆 it is a good trailer tho. But there are better ones, imo. Like this for example: ua-cam.com/video/BCr7y4SLhck/v-deo.html
@@TheAlkochef it's good but the old republic trailers are better
Typo? :D I thought you wanted to say: Sith never gets old.
In my opinion only The Elder Scrolls Online has comparable trailers
@@topiheimola69 yeah I’ll agree, they have a few pretty awesome trailers but I stand by my statement that ToR cinematic trailers are the best..
When a trailer from 2009 is better than all sequels
"You assumed no force could challenge you... and now, finally, we have 4K ULTRA HD!"
Palpatine: *Spends decades in order to destroy the Jedi in a very risky and slow way*
Malgus: "LET'S END THIS SH*T QUICKLY" *Crashes ships full of Sith into the Jedi Temple*
The era that rivaled the Original Trilogy, in the brilliance of 4K!
its fun watching these trailers after you played the game because you notice much more characters and actually know who they are, for example only lately i realized the Mandalorian helping Malgus is a younger Shae Vizla
Disney: You were decieved... and now your franchise will fall.
Every time I watch this trailer it is like I am watching it for the first time. So legendary. Disney cannot come close to making anything as good as this.
Better than any Disney Star Wars by a mile.
Not better than the mandalorian that show will always be at the top
@@kronic2832 Cheap, cheesy, nonsensical filler in my opinion. Can't stand it.
The Force Awakens and Rogue One are about the only somewhat decent Star Wars material Disney has produced.
@@AJDOLDCHANNELARCHIVE your not being foreal are you?? 😆 rogue one yeah pretty decent and a good tie in with andor but the force awakens bro?? It had a good start but the director is just a pure dimwitt for ruining the franchise
@@kronic2832 The Force Awakens is at least respectful to the franchise - The Last Jedi absolutely destroyed it. I haven't watched a Star Wars film since 2017 it was that bad.
@@AJDOLDCHANNELARCHIVE not really bro luke skywalker is a key character and they only put him up on screen for 1 minute just for him too turn around and remove his hood the mandalorian on the otherhand fully redeemed luke by giving us that iconic death trooper scene we all have been waiting for if you ask me the mandalorian is truly the force awakens we should have gotten
3:18 *Me walking out of the gym*
The memories just flooded back. Those long nights of healing through Nightmare Dread Palace with 15 other souls you just picked up
After reading the book "Deceived" it just makes this trailer better.
Everyone of these trailers should be made into a movie. My God they are beautifully done.
Those Sith in that transport shuttle made up my mind to main a Sith at the game's launch.
This cinematic is better that 95% of all the Disney Star Wars content in *every* way. Better fight scene, better graphics, better characters, better dialogue, everything. Can we get a movie or series made by whoever made this?
2:37 this was just LIT
Gods I really love Malgus, aside from how good a character he is it's just great to see him go to work
Every time Disney breaks my spirit I return to these videos! It makes me smile again. I can’t believe this era and the Acolyte are Star Wars haha… Malgus where are you when we need you the most!!!
The last scene… Darth Malgus, so badass. Love it!
This trailer is what pushed me to explore The Old Republic back in the day. Never regretted it.
That's the kind of Star Wars we want!!
You're not gonna get this from Disney or modern day Lucasfilms.
@@SkintSNIPER262 better not get it at all than get it from disney
My god. As if this masterpiece could get any better.. and yet here we are. 110 out of 10!!
such a great book. To see the temple fight like this made me happy. Not quite as I imagined it in my mind but still amazing!
I never thought I'd see the day. I remember first seeing these when I started playing in 2013 and always come back to watch em. Seeing them remastered is a dream come true.
I remember seeing this back in the day, mere minutes after it was revealed. Was so hyped for SW:TOR. Will have to get around to playing it again and catching up on all the story content.
0:10 The sign of pure evil
Malgus: "Now your Republic ... Shall FALL."
Everyone who played the game: *except it didn't.*
Brings back memories. All of the trailers prior to launch was epic! Still gives me bloody goosebumps!
This cinematic was done by Blur Studio if I recall correctly. Aside from various video game cinematics perhaps you may also know them from the Netflix animated series Love, Death & Robots.
Love the shot of the camera focusing of the lightsaber on the ground
I am so happy SWTOR is still alive and well despite being trashed by EA from the very start. Even though the team had to make a lot of compromises when it came to expansions they somehow managed and still continue to make it work. People were saying SWTOR was "dead" as far back as 2015 but it's still going so strong. Been playing since 2012 and this game has been such a big part of my life. Can't wait to see what they'll do next.
Back when it came out, people were calling SWTOR the "WoW-killer" but then turned on the game when it didn't become that. Funny thing is that, with the recent turmoil at Blizzard, SWTOR might actually outlive WoW.
@@fattiger6957 WoW Died years ago, and especially now considering how Blizzard is acting.
@@Nephalem2002 I mean like officially die. Like Blizzard is closed and the official WoW servers are shut down. TBH after all the recent news about Blizzard, they kinda deserve it.
@@fattiger6957 Well, Swtor would have to be up and running for over 18 years at this point to truly "outlive WoW" if WoW were to shutdown today.
Ahh, love to see this reuploaded in a higher resolution. This is still one of my favorite game trailers, and I've never even played the game! The use of John Williams' great score, the choreography and the voice over is just... (chef's kiss)
This is so good even as a trailer from 10 years ago
It cost millions of dollars to make.
Indeed this shit is amazing. Im more of a sucker world of warcraft cinematics tho. 😄
This is also around 10 years old, and not upscaled. ua-cam.com/video/BCr7y4SLhck/v-deo.html 🤩
10 years on, and this is still the coolest Star Wars video game trailer ever, I surprised that they haven’t made full series using this animation style.
When the new trilogy was announced in 2012, I was imaging something like this
And now I can re-watch this trailer for the 10000 time, perfect
Instead of something like this.. we got Acolyte for 180 million..
Correction, the acoshyte!
Still brings chills to this day, even though i have watched it so many times throughout the years.
Would be nice to have a new Cinematic trailer for the next expansion on this level!
The cinematic trailers for SWTOR are better than the entire sequel trilogy and its not even close
I love that it took sidious decades of planning and implementing of an incredibly detailed plan that honestly was really lucky to even work, what with fives almost revealing the whole thing to anakin and rex, him counting on Anakin being susceptible to dark side temptations and other varying factors to drive the jedi into hiding, and malgus really went
"Let's just crash a starship full of sith into their temple and beat the crap out of them lol."
It's the change in paradigm that Bane brought upon the Sith, when he rebuilt the order
PLEASE MAKE THESE CINEMACTICS AGAIN!!!
Man that many Sith.....all at once...Iconic, if only they could make an actual movie or heck even TV series of it.
Be thankful they don't, they would just screw it up
Legit one of the best MMORPG's Ive ever played, and continue to play! The stories are soooooooo GOOD!
After finishing Old Republic: Deceived book.. THIS VALIDATES MY LOVE FOR MALGUS! His voice in the audiobook is PHENOMENALLY EVIL!
Hey, Disney, pay attention. This is what we wanted, not your stupid Acoshite!
Thank you! I've been wishing for this for the past couple years! It's Perfect again!
The fact we can play this game for free is amazing.
Yeah, on Steam..
@@SpiderJer04545 Origin and as a standalone client, too.
@Neveah Scottis That's only WoW.
@@ParavantStudio Pretty sure FF’s mmo requires sub too
@@Nephalem2002 FF14 isn't shitty, so.
This was one of my favorites. From the music, to maglus, and the fight itself. Such an awesome short
Omg I love this game so much !!!!
And watching those animation brings goosebumps every time, even after all those years
2:09-2:13, Man, Malgus is a badass, He first chokes and pushes a Jedi with force and then with the other hand he turns around and throws the force ray
Let's get ready for the new trailer ! STAR WARS LEGENDS is the best thing ever !
Still love the detail that with how the shuttle that crashes through the front of the temple is positioned, none of the Jedi actually saw that sick Lightsaber ignition reveal of all the Sith inside. So the Sith literally just did all that prep for their cool pose and no one else saw it. xD
But the cameraman (and maybe the mando, idk)
