- Here Greyjedi91, Evannova95, Antoine Bandele, Reti4 and Jensaarai1 Fanalyse the first three trailers of Star Wars: The Old Republic, "Return", "Hope" and "Deceived".
We hope you enjoy!
Oh some of the best content to advertise an mmo
So true, made my heart race seeing the Satele vs malgus fight for the first time. Couldn't wait to get on that game and kick butt!
Cant wait till the Bane trilogy
You guys should talk about Knights of the Old Republic 1 and 2 and just do some lore conversations like you did with Force Unleashed
I'd also like to see greyjedi's lore run of Kotor continue. That was interesting content alongside the versus videos and collabs etc
All of you together in one video that’s what I’m the most surprised about.
A surprise to be sure but a welcome one
Oh damn! Finally! I totally agree with you guys that combat in Star wars should be imagined like this across the board. What would the Sidious vs Mace and co. Fight look like as an Old Republic trailer?
My favourite part of the Return trailer is the multitude of archetypes it showcases, the learner, the juggernaut, the inquisitor, and a masterful demonstration of the naiman "undermine everyone else's strengths." Like dooku, I think if Darach could have overcome his stamina problems (like say, becoming a regular combatant in a galactic war) there would be very few opponents he couldn't beat.
Hope is still excellent, but it's definitely the weakest of the three. The best part of it is showing how non-force sensitives can put on a good showing against even heavyweights like Malgus (mostly with explosives).
Deceived is across the board fantastic, but I really like how it brings the fight to the Republic in a way we've never seen onscreen before (except maybe by the ROTS Coruscant Space Battle).
I was actually first introduced to these trailers through Antoines videos, they helped me realise that Star Wars actually has good fights.
These trailers are incredible. They're so good that when one of my friends who doesn't like Star Wars and frequently makes fun of it watched the Return trailer for himself when I posted it in a chat and he said "I was going to shit talk this but I can't lie, this is pretty dope". Also, I don't think the problem with the new movies is that they aren't making what fans want. I think the problem is that they're too concerned with that. The reason Episode 7 is a New Hope rehash is because they thought that's what the fans wanted, and that approach worked well for them. They're not focused on making good movies, they're focused on trying to make products.
That Guy Their whole “stick it to the haters” attitude that they been displaying since Ep 7 is going to come back to bite them sooner or later, and they will regret it when it does.
i’m begging the fanalysis council to reconvene and cover the newest trailer. especially considering SWTOR is the sole source of legends content still being released in the disney era.
GreyJedi91's voice is so smooth and clear in this podcast, I love it.
Will you guys ever do a podcast on some of the worst stuff to come out of the old EU? (The Crystal Star, the Jedi Prince series, etc.)
The Crystal Star gives me flashbacks of the dark ages of the Star Wars EU.
Though the Holiday Special tops it being the king of SW turds hands down.
Don't forget Mt. Sorrow, Skippy the droid, that Space Rabbit (I forget his name), Boba Fett's second fall into the Sarlacc pit and Luke falling in love with a freakin' computer.
@@_Nilrem_ skippy was never canon
"Welcome home."
Some of the best trailer in Star Wars.
Easily better then episodes 7 and 8 btw.
You can literally not get anymore Jedi than Reti4. I swear the guy does Tk for fun after these chats.
Am i the only one who would just love to see these guys do a Star Wars themed D&D session? That would be bloody amazing
The boys are back in town, boys are back in town [insert guitar rift]. Finally the whole cast is here. Now the final step is to get Turk up here if she’s interested in talking Star Wars and the saga will be complete.
Old Republic? Plus some of my favorite Star Wars UA-camrs? Sing me up!
I think it would be fun if you guys organized a "tournament" of force wielders kind of like March Madness or like the how the Jedi or medieval knights would have dueling tournaments.
Like the Mid Year Fete described in the Jedi Path? Where some of the greatest duelling masters met up and sparred against one another in a friendly competition.
@@ariesstorm9577 Exactly
Yh Darach is what a Battlemaster should be unlike that one who I've forgotten *coughs* Cin Drallig
You guys should make a video regarding your favorite feats Legends Luke Skywalker has accomplished
There would be so much to talk about. But also some weird stuff, for example in Dark Empire, where he is just to op
Canderous Ordo well he is the son of a man with the highest Force potential in history so...yeah
Luke fighting a Eldritch Space Force God.
@@Enzo_Matrix92 So Abeloth then
Canderous Ordo I mean, Luke kinda has to be OP, it’s literally in his genes.
Where is my darth bane trilogy fanalysis?!? Lol I remember getting stoked y’all mention covering the bane books… all I have is this epic argument with Matt and Reti
These trailers got me so hyped up. I got the collector's edition when it came out when I was like 13 and being bummed as hell when my mom's computer couldn't run it. Still revisit it from time to time now that I've got a good gaming PC.
I can't remember when I first watched "Deceived." I think it may have been some time after it came out. I was in freshman year of high school when it was released and I think it may have been on the old Star Wars website format (or how Reti4 found out about it. It was ten years ago.) . I wasn't quite sure what it was that I was watching but it looked cool. It wouldn't be until later when the game released that I understood that was what it was for.
Speaking of TCW, I know that you guys did a thorough analysis of the discrepancies and contradictions between it and the EU, but I would liked to hear a season-by-season review of the show. Hearing Antoine's dissuasion from the show early on, I would like to know when/if all of you started to find problems and stopped watching it. I know Jensaarai1's opinion of it. I myself have stopped caring about the show once the Lost Missions were released on Netflix. It was that season that I noticed the most prominent contradictions to what I knew of Star Wars lore before it. Then I started reflecting back on the previous seasons and found further contradictions (helped along by your video) and I started to reevaluate how TCW should be viewed within and outside of the EU.
I was a little confused when I saw the "Hope" trailer. Since it came after "Deceived" I was confused upon seeing Malgus without his respirator and Vader-like armor. At that time I thought that he no longer required those things and it wouldn't be until later (probably at the time of "Return") that these trailers weren't done in chronological order.
Having watched ATLA, I just realized where I recognized the voice of the Father from "Imprisoned." It's the Republic trooper!
"Deceived," "Return," and "Hope" is my ranking. Mostly because of what's been said. I really, really, really want to play the game now.
I think it would be amazing if they could make animated movies in this way like DC has been doing for the past several years. It might even be faster than hand-drawn animation. Like, if I was put in charge of Lucasfilm at this point one of the decisions that I would make would be animated movies for Legends done in this way released once or twice a year. And the movies would have stories taking place all across the Lore and with only a select few being their own trilogies or sagas or whatnot. Like compare DC and Marvel on their strengths and weaknesses. DC hasn't been particularly strong on live-action particularly for their movies, while Marvel has become a rising juggernaut of a movie studio. However, if you want to compare their animated movies and shows, DC takes the cake every single time when they release their animated movies, and some of their animated shows have become the benchmark for other superhero animated series. If Lucasfilm can find what it is that they're good at, then they should stick to that area rather than try to be something they're not.
Kevin Michael Richardson is one of the best voice actors working today. And as cool as he is as Jace Malcolm, I'll always love him as Jolee Bindo more. Anyway thanks for watching, as always.
Love this analysis yall. I sometimes watch these Old Republic cinematics once a week, if not more. Amazing visual storytelling and beautifully told, also make for very great visuals in VS videos. Wish they would make CGI movies/ TV shows (Star Wars or not) like these trailers because of how gorgeous they are.
Its cool you guys got together to talk about a common interest. Ive watched SW videos made by all of you.
I actually had a friend who thought the eu was lame and such lol, and one night i sat him down to watch these. And i was so happy cause after we were done the first thing he did was turn to me and asked why they don't do awesome stuff like this in the movies.
I've always agreed with you guys that these are like, visually what i imagine in my head whenever im reading a book or comic or just imagining star wars. like this is the aesthetic, the choreography, i envision. And i know we'll get there but that last trailer they did? With vaylin? Is probably like my fav 5 minutes of star wars just in general lol
When you guys were discussing Malgus's philosophy and worship of the Dark Side of the Force I am reminded of a Sith character from the new canon called, Darth Momin. He shows up in a Darth Vader comic and if I remember correctly he to worships the Dark Side, but from a point of view of an artist in that the Dark Side is the only audience he needs and must create works of art worthy of it. I am wondering if there are any other Sith that shares similar views of Malgus and Momin and be interesting to look into such characters if they show up in new canon or are already existing in legends. Enjoyed this video and looking forward to part 2.
He's not Darth
I don’t really care about the Old Republic in general, but these trailers are awesome, and any opportunity to watch fanalysis is a welcome one.
Honestly, these trailers are better than any of the movies, games or tv shows except maybe Empire Strikes Back. They have amazing action, easily understood and enjoyable story, fun characters and a sense of adventure that is rarely portrayed in any medium save the books or comics
"The weakest grenade ever" Callan that is one of the funniest things you've said and everyone just glossed over it
I saw the thumbnail Reti4 and I just have to say...
Yes.
Yes PLEASE
AND THANK YOU.
I always love it when you guys play or talk about the old republic. It's my favorite Era.
Hell, I owe a lot to Evan because his videos were how I got into the Expanded Universe in the first place. If you could, please tell him thanks. And I owe him much. Thank you.
Thank you, thats very humbling. We aim to entertain. :)
@@EvanNova95 ... You're welcome.
Wow. You replying to me like this so soon...
The honor is mine Evan. I've been a fan of yours since Atris vs. Nomi Sunrider.
You helped me become a true Star Wars fan. Listen to me when I say this, whatever interrupts your flow of making videos, focus on your life and well being first. We can wait. It's always a treat :)
Wow reviewing some of my favorite sw content and mentioning some of my favorite books coming up. Great episode.
Love this podcast hope you guys keep em coming 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
I was just watching Evannova's video on Darth Vader Vs. Yoda and then you guys uploaded this lol
Since the entire council is here, I would like to ask each of you if you think a Sith Lord could marry and raise a family? The Sith code speaks of passion, not anger or hate directly. Therefore couldn’t a Sith gain power from the passion he or she feels for their loved ones?
I’ve been wanting this one for a while!
@Reti4 you need to get the rest of them to jump in and play through some of the story arcs for a podcast at some point. Swtor isn't Kotor, but it would still be interesting to hear everyone's thoughts on the game and story itself. Especially since it's free to play.
It would be dope if Disney commissioned like 3 or four of these a year to tell short tales from the Old Republic.
I don't watch anything star wars related on yt lately , but this , this does put a smile on my face ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Also very curious what you guys think of KOTFE and KOTET trailers.
I for one consider "Sacrifice" to be the best cgi trailer for star wars , at least story wise . It captures all the SW themes perfectly .
P.S. - Still loving playing SWTOR even after 8 years . Would love a podcast about Sith Warrior's or Jedi knight's storyline from the game .
Love your channel dude, your Sith Warrior video is probably my favourite (they're all great videos though).
Thank you Aries !
oh my god im so happy this is a thing!
Admittedly, I’ve been falling off of most Fanalysis stuff. Hopefully, this lets me get right back into it and attempt to catch up.
Have you guys seen the Vader fan-film made by Star wars Theory?
I've seen it and Connor has seen it, but I don't know about everyone else.
@@EvanNova95
When you all do will you do a discussion about it
@@ryanbelcher25rb Unfortunately, I'm not sure. We haven't really discussed it.
@@EvanNova95 OK
Could you put a link in the comments? This is the first time I’ve heard of it.
i think I've watched the Hope trailer over 20 times, and the other 2 at least 10 times.
I personally view malgus as being a sith equivalent to mace windu, in the sense that they both detested politics but were themselves competent politicians ( mace was a skilled diplomat and malgus was capable in maneuvering by the time you fight him in the game.) but I completely agree that he has a philosophy similar to quigon jinn and is obviously similar to Vader in appearance with an antithesis philosophy.
You guys should do something like this for the galactic timeline records that came out for this game they really flesh out the world in my opinion
This is an amazing trailer
My criticism of Satele's powers from Hope are not that they're universe-breaking, but that she's still a young knight at that time. When the trailer came out, I said yeah, Yoda could do that, but not some twenty-something knight.
She's a guardian version of Nomi Sunrider
Out of curiosity (and apologies if you guys answer this in the video I am yet to watch it all) for those of you who played SWTOR what race and class did you first play as, and what was your overall favourite race and class to play as if you played through the game more than once?
Cao's fight is one of the few that does not make picking up another lightsaber feel like a dumb powerup, TCW did that really bad with Obi-Wan vs Maul and Oppress or Kit Fisto vs Grievous, Maul vs Sidious and even Anakin vs Baris Offee (although just the concept of that fight is dumb)
it is really presented as picking up another saber just amps you
I miss swtor 😩🙌🏾
Awwwwww yeah new SW episode!
this is like the ONLY reason why Star Wars is still alive for me >.> these trailers and this council
I would love to see you guys speak about swtor itself tbh, any experinces with it? your veiw on the stories? what it added to the legends timeline? after all swtor is the last bit of legends still actively being worked on.
Hard to say. Only a few of us have played the game and none of use completed it. That said, we will very likely review the SWTOR era books at some point.
Just re-watched them yesterday lmao.
Hmm... Disney actually helped Bioware make the Eternal Empire storyline, so... canon?
I'm surprised that no one talked about Shae vizla and also will you guys be putting out a list of your upcoming videos not really dates obviously just what you're going to do
Has any of you seen the Tintin movie by Steven Spielberg? I would say it is possible to make a movie almost the same way as the trailers on a feasible budget.
PS, from all the Sith lords and ladies you know from SWTOR who is you favorite? NO MALGUS and mine is either Vitiate or Jadus.
With the exception of the first scene's of return this is almost like a silent film. In many silent films narration was done. After all you can just play sound at the same time as the movie. However it was impossible to synchronize it perfectly so that's why silent films have no dialogue.
I do have some scene's that are kind of iffy for me. Like when Malcom just charges head long against Malgus. That's a really stupid thing to do in combat. I mean Malgus was at the ready and his armor is not proof against a lightsaber.
In regards to what Matt said about realistic sword fighting looking boring, I can’t say I agree but I can see where a lot of it can be. For example, I find smallsword dueling to be the most boring thing on the planet, but a longsword or a saber duel is much more dynamic and flowing.
If you’d like to see a longsword duel done both realistically and dynamically look up the longsword duel from Adorea Olomouc on UA-cam. They exaggerate their movements just enough to convey a sense of movement and to allow the viewer to see what’s going on but it’s very realistic and conveys that both the actors actually know what they’re doing.
This video is an example that it can be done effectively - ua-cam.com/video/Cn36Pb8z3yI/v-deo.html Adorea Olomouc has great realistic fight choreography, highly recommended.
Oh yeah, not saying all realistic swordplay is boring. Just majority of what I've seen so I tend not to insist on that standard in cinematic duels is all.
My question is, why would anyone bother about real life sword fighting in a fictional sci-fi fantasy world?
Because it would lend a sense of fidelity and skill to the combatants involved. The Prequel fights, at least in my opinion, look like a dance off as opposed to the fights in say Game of Thrones or Lord of the Rings where I can actually buy that the people involved are actually trying to kill each other.
Those trailers belonged being used for the next jedi academy style game
Fanalysis would you guys do battlefront 2 2017
Let's Goooo!!!!
Fanalysis when is part 2 coming out
Take a chill pill, dude.
@@AntoineBandele as you wish master but would you and Evannnova95 or any of you do a video on star wars rebels season 3 and 4
@@AntoineBandele i have and good job with this video
Thrawn trilogy at some point?
Eventually. It'll be a while, but we will get to them eventually.
I’ve got nothing but time, and the Bane trilogy sounds just as good to hear anyway. I finally got around to reading it properly for the first time in December and it was sooo good. They could have honestly started the entire new films after that trilogy
As annoyed as I was when Lucasfilm abandoned the EU, I wish SWTOR had ended there as well. Everything that they've done with the antagonists from Shadow of Revan onwards is just ridiculous. Every villain is so exponentially more powerful than the last that it's boderline lore breaking. And it's just not compelling or interesting. A villain's threat level doesn't just have to come from their overwhelming power. It just come off as lazy dissapointing. I agree that the trailers were great though.
Very true, I like that Valkorian/Vitate was crazy powerful.
But draining life from entire planet with just his force power, and being able to heal lightsaber wounds(depends on your story options).
His power looks cool, but yes his magnitude of power does break lore, and comes off as lazy I agree with you there.
I didn't mind Vitiate so much if it was just him. I can buy what he was and what he achieved. Especially seeing as it seemed pretty clear to me that his ability to drain life from whole planets was rooted in rituals and external power sources, not his own innate ability. Which makes way more sense. It's more Revan, Arcaan and Vaylin that I have an issue with. Especially Arcaan and Vaylin.
Filip gets it.
If only the game had lived up to the trailers. I remember being so hyped to play Satele, Jace or Malgus....and then it turned out to be an ok but not really exciting online game
Malgus was barely in the game as well.
The best parts of the game are definitely the class stories, and I'd say some of the planetary stories can be really interesting. Voss is a great addition to the lore of Star Wars, and its nice to see the political intrigues of Alderaan.
Too many stinking Jedi
