SithReign I recommend you play the game as we need another Kotor not that crappy TOR plus it the top 100 best games of all time and has been forgotten for way too long
+SithReign alright thanks and I just subscribed to you also have you played star wars Jedi Knight Jedi academy and one more thing what was the mod you used for your character to have republic armor
i agree,i was SHOCKED....one of the best plot twist i have ever seen in any games but to tell the truth,nowadays such plot twist would not phase me...not anymore
SithReign in terms of gameplay,yeah,but in terms of story,i doubt many players would look things up....but too many videos here contain spoilers without warning, liek thumbnails -.-
It will be suck so much that fans will riot. Why????cause disney. Look at recent disney movies. Force awaken n the last jedi.its shit Dont include rouge.that totally based on new hope with a bit added plot.most people are happy cause vader.thats all.
Bastila was the first game character to invoke emotion in me. Jen Hale and Bioware hit it out of the park. KOTOR is still one of my favorite gaming experiences in nearly 30 years of gaming.
Tyler Tobeck Mine too. I just wish Revan got a slightly happier ending. That’s why I love the UA-cam movie versions of KOTOR 1 and 2 created by users KOTORTheMovieTrilogy and DarthYcey so much: They GIVE Revan, Bastila, and Meetra a happier ending!
It would have been better if Revan lost at least one eye and some limbs, and goes home with some trauma, give something for his wife and son to be supportive of him, and give him a cost for his success. They at least gave Ezio in Assassin's Creed 2 and Brotherhood a weakened heart for all his victories, why not do something similar. Characters that make sacrifices in Star Wars get respect. Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker, etc. say hello.
Nichtlesbar I feel that either Obi-Wan should have been the main focus of the entire prequals, with Anakin being the "Han Solo" of the prequals, or Qui-Gon should have been replaced with an older Obi-wan and the young Obi-wan replaced with Anakin as a 20 year old from the start.
Alexander Inget Thats a good idea, i always felt like it should have been about Obi Wan for the 3 episodes, just so you can understand Obi Wans relationship with Anakin more in 4 5 and 6

Something about it just felt incredible real and, unlike a lot of other romances in bioware games, it felt like you could actually feel the characters falling in love with each other during their conversations. It was nice.
Philip Cardillo If I were a film director I'd be more than happy to take on such a task (Big fan) 😆 I would probably adapt it the way the HP books were adapted (staying true to the plot of the game but removing unnecessary side quests & subplots along with making a few minor changed here and there)

JASMAD999 True enough I guess. While I enjoyed the original star wars I didn't really get into the prequels too much so I guess that could bias my opinionof it. Along with that fact I just find Anakin, even as the chosen one, to be abit too cliche. The whole thing with Revan and power came with a more in depth backstory (in my opinion but I haven't looked excessively into Anakin's life excessively). Guess it is also down to the mediums used for each. Thanks for the responce though I had been wondering was all. :)
Am I the only one who falled in love with bastila during the story. No other game than this affected my real life and made me dream rather than sleep during my teacher horrible lecture. I appreciate designers!
I've never been able to play KOTOR and i'm not into women, but i kinda feel the same about Theron Shan (Revan and Bastila's descendant). He was too much for my Jedi Knight to resist. She fell in love with him during Shadow of Revan, and they've been together since they reunited during KOTFE. I really like their romance, they're my favourite pairing in SWTOR.
I fell for Bastila too, quickly. I felt an overwhelming desire to have her around and protect her. She was comforting. The voice actor that played her was perfect as well.
Even more awkward is that he was being watched when he could, as far as they know, be faking amnesia and just kill everybody. But then again, he did tell her Mom he would make sure she was okay before Bastila's mom died.

I wish you could pick where you start from. Either a dark side user or a light side user and you can choose to either stick to the plan or you can change your affiliations but it affects your story. The other Star Wars games were still very linear as far as the choices you make and the order that you make them. On my dark side playthrough the first planet I went to was Corbin and I fully embraced the teachings there and I let that experience dictate the way I played the game as opposed to being a Jedi where I kind of adopted more of a detective / crimefighter roll. Then there's the time I played through as a gray Jedi making decisions that didn't go either way to the dark or the light. I focused on protecting a life regardless of whether or not they were good or bad
Main reason I wouldn't want this now is for the fact that Mandalorian wars was basically manipulated from the very start. I'd much rather see a story about what went on after Revan left and how the exile/Revan met their fates before the start of SWTOR.
I maybe bold as to say this but I really do consider KOTOR 1 the magnum opus of the Star Wars franchise. I'll admit I'm very biased as this was the game that made me into a diehard Star Wars fan, along with the Clone Wars micro-series. And I'll admit Empire still ranks as one of my favorite films and the best Star Wars film.But KOTOR to me is the best of both worlds. It combined the high world building of the prequels, with the story, characters, and themes of the OT. It's funny if you actually looked at the totality of the first game, it is very much a trilogy. You have our hero being thrust into a world and needs to locate a person of influence, while learning about the fight between two big factions. Having our heroes escape and still having hope, despite the horrific disaster that fell Taris? A second half that focused on Revan's training, the Star Forge and setting plotlines, like a blossoming romance, secret revelations. And an Empire moment to which works as well as Empire Strikes back. And the final half, being where our main hero picks himself up, shoulders on the fight. Not just for the sake of the galaxy, but for the sake of someone. Someone he loved. Obviously, the game has major differences, but to me as a story and its characters, KOTOR has the right to be held up there with the OT as being one of the great pieces of Star Wars. it is thrilling, suspenseful, charming and funny. And all the well a beautiful tale to which can leave one with a smile on their face.
"this was the game that made me into a diehard Star Wars fan, along with the Clone Wars micro-series." I am 24 years old and this is exactly what I'm talking about (+ Dark Horse Comic series like Empire and Republic) This were the days!
Thank you! I was really worried about the commentary since I'd gone to the dentist the morning I recorded this video, and my mouth was really numb. But I'm glad it came out good enough!
No problem and your voice acting was fantastic, it doesn't sound bad at all. (Also, I sent you a message responding to the message you gave me a while ago if you wouldn't mind reading that. Unfortunately, UA-cam didn't notify me of your message 5 months ago so I responded a month ago but I don't know if you got it.) Anyway, fantastic video again, I hold in much of the same light as GreyJedi's KOTOR review/ retrospective.
Make this a cinematic release in theaters with the original writers working with the film crew and I'll be happy with it as a canonical addition to Star Wars...it already is canon in my book.
@@FuryanJedi13 yes sadly they never got a happy ending But at least: they loved each other till the end. And if there exists something like the afterlife they are happy together there
The Legend of Revan and Bastila is an amazingly beautiful and unusual story. "Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic" is perhaps the most timeless game with the greatest and most beautiful storyline from the Star Wars universe, which can touch many hearts and touch the player. Such games and stories can bring out the best in people.
If not the best, clearly one of the best love stories in the entire SW franchise .. their shared bond, their struggles, their love .. saving the galaxy together .. perfection .. it's crazy how far Bioware has fallen, cause this game was and still is a masterpiece .. I'm just god damn pissed and sad that they didn't gave them their happy ending .. later in the series I mean .. wish Revan could have return to Bastila and his son. Part of me died when I found out their fate and seen what EAware reduced Revan into in KOTOR MMO
I feel massive nostalgia of this game. It was one of the most impactful games I played as a kid growing up. It even helped teach me how to read by association of the voiceovers to the text, in addition to the fact as a kid, I was a absolute fanatic for Star wars. It was pretty much a religion to me. I learned and enjoyed so much from this game. I always found the Revan and Bastilla romance dynamic intriguing , even with the naïve outlook I had about love.
How would you guys like to see cutscene-narrated/commentated playthroughs of KOTOR? Or maybe just certain voice-acted scenes? Still thinking of ideas. TWITTER: twitter.com/SithReign
Kotor franchise is better then anything starwars has ever put on the big screen. Star wars on the big screen is dumbed down for the public were kotor story line is more complex esp with characters like Darth traya
10/10 I just finished playing KOTOR 1 for the first time ever on my phone and the relationship between Revan and Bastila were my favorite parts in the game! I hope KOTOR 2 comes to the App Store!
Well the graphics & the combat (gameplay) were kinda...u know....not good ! I mean i can ignore the graphics part but do u know any way to make the combat more interesting in that game ?
When you get around the graphics and combat, the story is the strongest aspect of KOTOR. When it comes to lack luster combat systems, I usually think about the story and what the character would be feeling in the moment and that gets me around the combat system
I grew up with the story of revan and bastila through the rpgs I have played since I could move a mouse and now 16 im still playing and I still haven't found all the secrets yet thank you for this storytelling this story never gets old and hearing it instead of playing it amazing thank you
Sometimes a great history can be written because you don't have the restrains of the budget you had to spend on the production of a film or show, only on a great storytelling fuelled by the passion for creating a great history and the love for the universe that can be settled in. Thanks for the video, and "thank you Bastila, thank you Revan, and thank you... Knights of the old Republic" May the force be with you all, specially with those who love writing stories.
This relationship was one of my favorite parts of the original KOTOR and I found it by accident when I played it the first time. Bastila gets so flustered whenever you teasingly flirt with her in the game. Bastila: "I've been studying you closely." Player: "Oh really? See anything you like?" Bastila: Long and drawn out flustered response. And since the game is now available on Xbox One, I get to relive this again. :)
this is a good video.. star wars used to be like this full of morals. This franchise inspired a generation. Good job of you stating out the morals in the end it really helped me and made my day.
Thank you for making this video. At first I wasn't going to watch it all the way through, but not unlike the shear mastery of this game and its power to rivet the player into its story of the power of love it too drew me in. You have refreshed my very fond memories of this game and my time spent in this story. I commend you. Thank you again.
I have already finished KOTOR and it is my favorite game and I am playing it again and again and again. The ending got me and I think game has the best story in the gaming history. This game made me like star wars more than the original trilogy did :) Thank you revan, thank you Bastila and thank you The Crew of The Ebon Hawk, the best crew ever.
There is not another I have replayed or loved as much as I have KoTOR. I remember as a kid being so scared to play through the old sewer section of the Undercity because of the rakghouls that I put the game down. But KoTOR taught me - among many other things - to not be scared of what's ahead but to rather take it frontend and push forward. I know it sounds a bit melodramatic, but this game spoke volumes to me as a kid. I love The Ebon Hawk crew as if I belonged in it. Thanks KoTOR
That's a game i can play again and again and again... It'd be great to see a vid about Mandalorians. Their history, culture, combat tactics and legacy. You're making an amazing job with your vids and narrations. Thank you very much.
KOTOR is my favorite gaming series. and even though you may not have as many subscribers as allot of star wars youtubers. this video alone was able to gain a great deal of respect from me. thank you for making this. I very much enjoyed watching it. I have subscribed to your channel and I will also receive notifications when you upload new videos. May The Force Be With You.
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, is easily the greatest Star Wars RPG of all time. It isn't even close. It is a saga of darkness and light, a legend of love and fear, prejudice and trust, redemption and forgiveness. With its many levels of complex characters, insane amount of customization, and the emotional depth it creates for a character who is easily one of the greatest outside the movies, it is without a doubt one of the few video games one can play a dozen times over and not have the same experience. The last time I played it was thirteen years ago, and I was honestly in awe at what this Canadian RPG can accomplish. I still am impressed by this game. Knights of the Old Republic will live on in my heart and those of any other fan of the era, and will endure as a corner stone to the Star Wars universe for generations to come.
@@mikeor- That is not coming in next year. We are looking at 2 years ahead (2023-2024). Also there is this one female who is political correctness fan who is also Sexist on writing team that causes headaches. Not deal breaker for me but definitely turns on alarm bells in me and in many others.
@@normaaliihminen722 Actually, it has been moved to 2022, but if it is going to come out in 2023, then I stand corrected. As for the female political correctness sexist, she is fired. The game will not change too much from the KotOR remake. I played it last year after thirteen years, and I couldn't get enough of it.
Very nice video. It brought back such fond memories of the countless hours of my youth spent playing KOTOR . I think it's time for another playthrough.
You know this comes 3 years late. Your video is simple, direct, honest. I'm in my early 40s now. Raven and his wife. You're right on about Them both. There daughter was in Star Wars The old republic. Which was at times, confusing, annoying and frustrating to play. It too taught me the same(Star Wars The Knights of the old Republic 1&2). There many love stories Bastila and Revan. Even Anakin and Padme. Which says: the Jedi need to change, adapt, include and grow with it. Anakin and Revan were two Jedi Knights. That did exactly that. But, they fell to the dark side of force. That's coming from a Star Wars lifer.
The Vulkars didn't know that Bastilla was a Jedi, their leader withdrew her as the prize because he learned that the winner, the player, was a representative of the Beks, whom they consider their rivals.
They could make a netflix series about the old republic as a whole. separate them by chapters and by specific points from the game and books it'd also be good to help support the other movies and games etc. It does sound like it'd be cool.
I must say that Kreia in my opinion was a great character, better than Revan himself. I think people don't give her enough credit. She was very well voiced as well.
KOTOR has been a massive influence on my life, and this story is exactly why. I often say that while i enjoyed both video games and Star Wars, it was KOTOR that made my love both. Thanks for a fantastic video.
Having played the game through at least 3 times I can say that this video was....a very wholesome way of expressing the story as a whole...and I will be honest it made emotional especially towards the end. Very beautiful and thank you for this. May the Force be with you
I kissed her and got her on my side.... Which I found out in The old republic they had children.. I had children and GRAND CHILDREN!! Why didn't they just make a number three KOTOR where you play as Revan a last time with the help of your old Character from KOTOR 2? That would be awesome! I would buy KOTOR 3 then rather have The Old Republic. On a less serious note at the end it got REALLY CREEPY.
Dude - this game is the ONLY reason I play video games....but most notably and preferingly, KOTOR & SWTOR. Even though I know most things about Star Wars, your "re-telling" of the story is flat out A++!!!! Keep up the good work!!!
Everyone who is a true hearted star wars fan should know revan's story for he was "Savior, conqueror, hero, villain. You are all things, Revan… and yet you are nothing. In the end, you belong to neither the light nor the darkness. You will forever stand alone.
Thank you SithReign, you have no idea how much that last 30 seconds of the video meant for me to hear. I cannot truly express my gratefulness that even something as unimportant as video games, means that much.
Hello fellow KOTOR lovers! This video is blowing up lately, and I analytics say OVER 90% OF YOU ARE NOT SUBSCRIBED!!!! I would really appreciate it if you could like the video and subscribe. It goes a long way for a small content creator like me!
soo this is the light side story, and with a very good narrative with nicely added videos, I might add; impressive! You really should the dark side version as well.
I love how the Dearly Beloved Track fits so well with the narration ! Your storytelling, voice, track choices and the mood is so well done. Also, I thank YOU for reminding me through this video what KoTOR once taught me when i was young. May the force be with you !
one of the best videos I have ever seen, this game has hit me more in the feels than anyother game ever has, the choice between dark and light and how love is intertwined between both sides equally has made me take on a whole new perspective on life than, ever before. good job and bravo I applaud you on your magnificent video
Gorgeous. Your passion and choice of words in the ending of this masterpiece was warming. The editing, narration and flow of the entire video was perfect. Revan is the Alexander of Star Wars for me, and you did him justice. I think we all wanted our own Bastila back then. I hope to still see you making videos as Star Wars carries on. All the best.
Great job ! As soon as I saw a title i knew I was going to enjoy this , if you will need some SWTOR footage for example of knights of the fallen empire or something else i have a quite a library recorded in HD and with all quotes from a game , just message me . keep up a good work ! #makerevancanon

Remastered and fix the bs ending that the book has after the first two games

Why would you remaster perfection?
Revan is everything Anakin was supposed to be in the prequals.
Nichtlesbar I feel that either Obi-Wan should have been the main focus of the entire prequals, with Anakin being the "Han Solo" of the prequals, or Qui-Gon should have been replaced with an older Obi-wan and the young Obi-wan replaced with Anakin as a 20 year old from the start.

I wish you could pick where you start from. Either a dark side user or a light side user and you can choose to either stick to the plan or you can change your affiliations but it affects your story. The other Star Wars games were still very linear as far as the choices you make and the order that you make them. On my dark side playthrough the first planet I went to was Corbin and I fully embraced the teachings there and I let that experience dictate the way I played the game as opposed to being a Jedi where I kind of adopted more of a detective / crimefighter roll. Then there's the time I played through as a gray Jedi making decisions that didn't go either way to the dark or the light. I focused on protecting a life regardless of whether or not they were good or bad
Main reason I wouldn't want this now is for the fact that Mandalorian wars was basically manipulated from the very start. I'd much rather see a story about what went on after Revan left and how the exile/Revan met their fates before the start of SWTOR.
Revan is my favorite Star Wars EU character, they better make him canon soon.
My thoughts exactly.
I. Th. Know I'm curious to here Neil as Vader.
The guys who made clone wars and rebels, are trying to get him in. If clone wars wasnt cancelled he'd have appeared in the show as a ghost.
I. Th. My mistake. However introducing Malechore was a step in the right direction.
Revan IS canon.
I maybe bold as to say this but I really do consider KOTOR 1 the magnum opus of the Star Wars franchise. I'll admit I'm very biased as this was the game that made me into a diehard Star Wars fan, along with the Clone Wars micro-series. And I'll admit Empire still ranks as one of my favorite films and the best Star Wars film.But KOTOR to me is the best of both worlds. It combined the high world building of the prequels, with the story, characters, and themes of the OT.
It's funny if you actually looked at the totality of the first game, it is very much a trilogy. You have our hero being thrust into a world and needs to locate a person of influence, while learning about the fight between two big factions. Having our heroes escape and still having hope, despite the horrific disaster that fell Taris? A second half that focused on Revan's training, the Star Forge and setting plotlines, like a blossoming romance, secret revelations. And an Empire moment to which works as well as Empire Strikes back.
And the final half, being where our main hero picks himself up, shoulders on the fight. Not just for the sake of the galaxy, but for the sake of someone. Someone he loved. Obviously, the game has major differences, but to me as a story and its characters, KOTOR has the right to be held up there with the OT as being one of the great pieces of Star Wars.
it is thrilling, suspenseful, charming and funny. And all the well a beautiful tale to which can leave one with a smile on their face.
Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes!
"I maybe bold as to say this but I really do consider KOTOR 1 & 2 the magnum opus of the Star Wars franchise."
FTFY
"this was the game that made me into a diehard Star Wars fan, along with the Clone Wars micro-series."
I am 24 years old and this is exactly what I'm talking about (+ Dark Horse Comic series like Empire and Republic) This were the days!
Wow..... phenomenal video... gave me chills and tears. One of the greatest stories in the Star Wars universe.
Thank you! I was really worried about the commentary since I'd gone to the dentist the morning I recorded this video, and my mouth was really numb. But I'm glad it came out good enough!
No problem and your voice acting was fantastic, it doesn't sound bad at all. (Also, I sent you a message responding to the message you gave me a while ago if you wouldn't mind reading that. Unfortunately, UA-cam didn't notify me of your message 5 months ago so I responded a month ago but I don't know if you got it.) Anyway, fantastic video again, I hold in much of the same light as GreyJedi's KOTOR review/ retrospective.
+ForklifterMatt Ah I see the message. I'll get back to you within today.
SithReign Sounds good, thank you! :)
ForklifterMatt The best story not one of :)
Make this a cinematic release in theaters with the original writers working with the film crew and I'll be happy with it as a canonical addition to Star Wars...it already is canon in my book.
Sadly a movie would never make it justice. Unless.. it was a trilogy. xD
*Do it justice you mean.
I agree, one movie wouldn't cut it, would need more than one to fulfill the story.
Take one liberty, have Revan and Bastilla defeat Malak together
Yea Revan and bastila have been two of my favorite character's in star war's history.
Same here!
Two things suck about this:
- They are no longer canon
- They never got the happy ending they deserve
@@FuryanJedi13 yes sadly they never got a happy ending
But at least: they loved each other till the end. And if there exists something like the afterlife they are happy together there
They are so much better than Rey and Kylo
Instead of Revan & Bastila you get ReyBen in Last Jedi, patricidal sociopath meets sith heiress. Disney for ya!
@KAT you have great wisdom
@KAT the difference is that Revan and Bastille are fan favorites and Rey is hated by 99% of the community
@Cassien Martineau she still sucks
@Cassien Martineau both
Wow those two have a better love story than any on TLJ characters
The Legend of Revan and Bastila is an amazingly beautiful and unusual story. "Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic" is perhaps the most timeless game with the greatest and most beautiful storyline from the Star Wars universe, which can touch many hearts and touch the player. Such games and stories can bring out the best in people.
I remember when they told you were the Sith Lord, and I wondered, WTH? Then I realized that they were hinting it to you the whole time.
Benjamin Kemer Freakin amazing
If not the best, clearly one of the best love stories in the entire SW franchise .. their shared bond, their struggles, their love .. saving the galaxy together .. perfection .. it's crazy how far Bioware has fallen, cause this game was and still is a masterpiece ..
I'm just god damn pissed and sad that they didn't gave them their happy ending .. later in the series I mean .. wish Revan could have return to Bastila and his son. Part of me died when I found out their fate and seen what EAware reduced Revan into in KOTOR MMO
I agree, this game was my childhood and has aged wonderfully
I feel massive nostalgia of this game. It was one of the most impactful games I played as a kid growing up. It even helped teach me how to read by association of the voiceovers to the text, in addition to the fact as a kid, I was a absolute fanatic for Star wars. It was pretty much a religion to me. I learned and enjoyed so much from this game. I always found the Revan and Bastilla romance dynamic intriguing , even with the naïve outlook I had about love.
It is truly a great game!
So interesting history. One of the best Star Wars history.
How would you guys like to see cutscene-narrated/commentated playthroughs of KOTOR? Or maybe just certain voice-acted scenes? Still thinking of ideas.
TWITTER: twitter.com/SithReign
mmm I don't think that would work...seeing as how swtor gave revan a voice anyone else doing it would just feel out of place..
rusty shackleford fair enough.. any suggestions?
+SithReign how about making a video on the petition to bring the old republic to Netflix?
They didn't really give Revan a voice. You only heard him during grunts lol.
That would be awesome actually. Voicing the parts that weren't voiced like the Player choices in those games.
This is the best summary of the story I've ever seen well done!!!
Thanks!
Kotor franchise is better then anything starwars has ever put on the big screen.
Star wars on the big screen is dumbed down for the public were kotor story line is more complex esp with characters like Darth traya
DUDE KINGDOM HEARTS SOUNDTRACK AND YOUR LOVE OF STAR WARS? YOU DESERVE MY SUBSCRIBE
:)
10/10 I just finished playing KOTOR 1 for the first time ever on my phone and the relationship between Revan and Bastila were my favorite parts in the game! I hope KOTOR 2 comes to the App Store!
Yeah! Thanks for watching!
+SithReign anytime! I'm still mind blown by the epicness of KOTOR!! I might even play it again
Well the graphics & the combat (gameplay) were kinda...u know....not good ! I mean i can ignore the graphics part but do u know any way to make the combat more interesting in that game ?
That isn't the point of the game!!
When you get around the graphics and combat, the story is the strongest aspect of KOTOR. When it comes to lack luster combat systems, I usually think about the story and what the character would be feeling in the moment and that gets me around the combat system
Please Disney if you make Revan Canon DON'T make the Prodigal Knight female. But he and Bastila should be Canon. The novel is fucking amazing
SWTOR rightly had the guy as a male, so yeah. If someone made Revan a chick, lmao it would be stupid.
Yeah i don't trust disney with SWKTOR. I'm glad SWKTOR not canon because it's better than the canon Star Wars.
Is there a novel? :O
I grew up with the story of revan and bastila through the rpgs I have played since I could move a mouse and now 16 im still playing and I still haven't found all the secrets yet thank you for this storytelling this story never gets old and hearing it instead of playing it amazing thank you
BRB need to replay, too much NOSTALGIA!!!
Definitely Bastila and Revan are the best couple of Star Wars that have ever been ❤❤❤
The fact that he never saw her again is heartbreaking 😭
Sometimes a great history can be written because you don't have the restrains of the budget you had to spend on the production of a film or show, only on a great storytelling fuelled by the passion for creating a great history and the love for the universe that can be settled in.
Thanks for the video, and "thank you Bastila, thank you Revan, and thank you... Knights of the old Republic"
May the force be with you all, specially with those who love writing stories.
dude love your narrative voice
Thanks!
Still fire up both 1 and 2 now in 2018.
Can we talk about how the music makes this game even more amazing!?
Strong Video. especially in the end. KOTOR will always have a place in my heart too. #musthavekotor3
This relationship was one of my favorite parts of the original KOTOR and I found it by accident when I played it the first time. Bastila gets so flustered whenever you teasingly flirt with her in the game.
Bastila: "I've been studying you closely."
Player: "Oh really? See anything you like?"
Bastila: Long and drawn out flustered response.
And since the game is now available on Xbox One, I get to relive this again. :)
Tbh this relationship was lightyears better then Rey and Ben in the sequels
"I'm Jeff now, Bastila. Revan is no more." Best fucking part of the video. great video!
xD MY NAME IS JEFF
Also a great movie. :D Nice narration voice too bro.
+xAlphaTrotx Thank you!
One of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. Thank you for making this.
this is a good video.. star wars used to be like this full of morals. This franchise inspired a generation. Good job of you stating out the morals in the end it really helped me and made my day.
Thank you for making this video. At first I wasn't going to watch it all the way through, but not unlike the shear mastery of this game and its power to rivet the player into its story of the power of love it too drew me in. You have refreshed my very fond memories of this game and my time spent in this story. I commend you. Thank you again.
I have already finished KOTOR and it is my favorite game and I am playing it again and again and again. The ending got me and I think game has the best story in the gaming history. This game made me like star wars more than the original trilogy did :)
Thank you revan, thank you Bastila and thank you The Crew of The Ebon Hawk, the best crew ever.
There is not another I have replayed or loved as much as I have KoTOR. I remember as a kid being so scared to play through the old sewer section of the Undercity because of the rakghouls that I put the game down. But KoTOR taught me - among many other things - to not be scared of what's ahead but to rather take it frontend and push forward. I know it sounds a bit melodramatic, but this game spoke volumes to me as a kid. I love The Ebon Hawk crew as if I belonged in it. Thanks KoTOR
"...and thank you, Knights of the Old Republic"
Totally
That's a game i can play again and again and again... It'd be great to see a vid about Mandalorians. Their history, culture, combat tactics and legacy. You're making an amazing job with your vids and narrations. Thank you very much.
+SithReign I still play this more than half of my Xbox 360 games and it in the top 100 best games of all time
Still a better love story than Twilight
MUCH BETTER!!
Haha was just about to comment that. It's more a redemption arc than a love story anyways.
asking someone a/s/l is still a better love story then twilight
This game is what made Revan my all time favourite character in the Star wars Universe
Definitely an amazing character in an amazing game
Greatest childhood game of all time!
Yes!!
KOTOR is my favorite gaming series. and even though you may not have as many subscribers as allot of star wars youtubers. this video alone was able to gain a great deal of respect from me. thank you for making this. I very much enjoyed watching it. I have subscribed to your channel and I will also receive notifications when you upload new videos. May The Force Be With You.
PokemonChampion Dean Thanks man! I really appreciate it.
SithReign no problem. I love the KOTOR series. Still waiting on KOTOR III
With your narration you won me, I'll subscribe to you.
Disney probably killed Bastila already.
:(
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, is easily the greatest Star Wars RPG of all time. It isn't even close. It is a saga of darkness and light, a legend of love and fear, prejudice and trust, redemption and forgiveness. With its many levels of complex characters, insane amount of customization, and the emotional depth it creates for a character who is easily one of the greatest outside the movies, it is without a doubt one of the few video games one can play a dozen times over and not have the same experience. The last time I played it was thirteen years ago, and I was honestly in awe at what this Canadian RPG can accomplish. I still am impressed by this game. Knights of the Old Republic will live on in my heart and those of any other fan of the era, and will endure as a corner stone to the Star Wars universe for generations to come.
I wish I could play this game without remembering previous playthroughs. I seriously envy those people who play this game for first time.
@@normaaliihminen722 Well, now you can, because there's a KotOR remake coming out next year.
@@mikeor- That is not coming in next year. We are looking at 2 years ahead (2023-2024). Also there is this one female who is political correctness fan who is also Sexist on writing team that causes headaches. Not deal breaker for me but definitely turns on alarm bells in me and in many others.
@@normaaliihminen722 Actually, it has been moved to 2022, but if it is going to come out in 2023, then I stand corrected. As for the female political correctness sexist, she is fired. The game will not change too much from the KotOR remake. I played it last year after thirteen years, and I couldn't get enough of it.
kotor os one of the best games I've ever played. and the history of Bastila and Revan is very, very good. congrats on this great work!
Thanks!
This game was definitely one of the best I've ever played as well. Great video!
Thank you very much!
best love story next to general grievous
dersushibomber Yes, his secret relationship with Asajj Ventress was truly one of the best romances of all fiction. Period.
Logan Smith What on Kalee are you talking about I never liked that bald assassin,But yeah my Story is sad......RIP Ronderu lij kummar
Hands down the most memorable game I've played. Great job with the video!
Same here, man... Thanks!
This game was so good when I played it. Had a great story.
Agreed!
I don't know how many times have I watched this video, but every one it revives the emotions KOTOR still inspires in me.
Very nice video. It brought back such fond memories of the countless hours of my youth spent playing KOTOR . I think it's time for another playthrough.
Thanks!
Their duality and enduring love is truly beautiful. I ship it!!!
You know this comes 3 years late. Your video is simple, direct, honest. I'm in my early 40s now. Raven and his wife. You're right on about Them both. There daughter was in Star Wars The old republic. Which was at times, confusing, annoying and frustrating to play. It too taught me the same(Star Wars The Knights of the old Republic 1&2).
There many love stories Bastila and Revan. Even Anakin and Padme. Which says: the Jedi need to change, adapt, include and grow with it. Anakin and Revan were two Jedi Knights. That did exactly that. But, they fell to the dark side of force. That's coming from a Star Wars lifer.
Well put!
The Vulkars didn't know that Bastilla was a Jedi, their leader withdrew her as the prize because he learned that the winner, the player, was a representative of the Beks, whom they consider their rivals.
shadysaida it was because the player used an illegally modded bike.
They could make a netflix series about the old republic as a whole. separate them by chapters and by specific points from the game and books it'd also be good to help support the other movies and games etc. It does sound like it'd be cool.
It sure does... probably will never happen though :(
I know this is a 2 year old comment, but with the Mandalorian out on Disney+, it could potentially happen now.
Man this would be an amazing movie
Man this should of been canon
Good narration. I especially liked the last part about loving others and accepting help as sign strength rather then weakness.
Andrew Durfee Thank you
I must say that Kreia in my opinion was a great character, better than Revan himself. I think people don't give her enough credit. She was very well voiced as well.
kronoss897 Yeah, the writing for her was also fantastic. Some of the things she said gave me chills.. Thanks for watching!
Both super great. Both! Revans story is the best jedi Sith story, Kreia is the original Grey! Both awesome!
Nice character examination here: ua-cam.com/video/-Z0S0Z8lUTg/v-deo.html
kronoss897 she may be an awesome character, but don’t ever say she is better than me.
KOTOR has been a massive influence on my life, and this story is exactly why. I often say that while i enjoyed both video games and Star Wars, it was KOTOR that made my love both. Thanks for a fantastic video.
Thanks for watching!
Just imagine how it would've been if we had a trilogy about KotOR instead the joke of a story we have now. What a shame...
Having played the game through at least 3 times I can say that this video was....a very wholesome way of expressing the story as a whole...and I will be honest it made emotional especially towards the end. Very beautiful and thank you for this. May the Force be with you
Thank you!
I kissed her and got her on my side.... Which I found out in The old republic they had children.. I had children and GRAND CHILDREN!! Why didn't they just make a number three KOTOR where you play as Revan a last time with the help of your old Character from KOTOR 2? That would be awesome! I would buy KOTOR 3 then rather have The Old Republic. On a less serious note at the end it got REALLY CREEPY.
Swtor is still good in its own right
GigatronusPrime they kind of fucked up the story
Revan is my favourite character of the entire Star Wars Universe. Out of all the movies, all the games, all the books and all the comix.
i think i might just have found my new favorite youtuber
SithReign Could you explain the di bendu it was in the står wars rebels season 3 trailer
Thanks! Uhh maybe when there is more information about him!
wasnt he in legends??????
Urban acolytes said in video -the di bendu is now canon. just wondering
David Leander The Bendu monks were some of the earliest force users in SW history. Not sure if there is a connection, though,
ok thanks :D
Dude - this game is the ONLY reason I play video games....but most notably and preferingly, KOTOR & SWTOR. Even though I know most things about Star Wars, your "re-telling" of the story is flat out A++!!!! Keep up the good work!!!
Thank you so much! I really wanted to paint a narrative of the story, rather than explain it. Glad the message went through!
Everyone who is a true hearted star wars fan should know revan's story for he was "Savior, conqueror, hero, villain. You are all things, Revan… and yet you are nothing. In the end, you belong to neither the light nor the darkness. You will forever stand alone.
Yeah... If anyone from EU deserves to be canon, its him (and KOTOR)
Thank you SithReign, you have no idea how much that last 30 seconds of the video meant for me to hear. I cannot truly express my gratefulness that even something as unimportant as video games, means that much.
Hello fellow KOTOR lovers! This video is blowing up lately, and I analytics say OVER 90% OF YOU ARE NOT SUBSCRIBED!!!! I would really appreciate it if you could like the video and subscribe. It goes a long way for a small content creator like me!
Great video 👍
Great games never age. Nearing 2020 and I still get the itch to play.
FOREVER!
soo this is the light side story, and with a very good narrative with nicely added videos, I might add; impressive! You really should the dark side version as well.
I love how the Dearly Beloved Track fits so well with the narration ! Your storytelling, voice, track choices and the mood is so well done. Also, I thank YOU for reminding me through this video what KoTOR once taught me when i was young. May the force be with you !
Haha right? You'd never guess! It's an amazing song, and I'm glad to have found a way to put it in this video.
Beautiful video. thanks for the upload brother. you just gained a subscriber. may the force be with you
Thank you!
one of the best videos I have ever seen, this game has hit me more in the feels than anyother game ever has, the choice between dark and light and how love is intertwined between both sides equally has made me take on a whole new perspective on life than, ever before. good job and bravo I applaud you on your magnificent video
G-bob Kapersky Agreed! KOTOR is amazing. Thanks for watching!!
Awesome video, you have quite of an impressive skill of narration of the story.
Thanks!
Gorgeous. Your passion and choice of words in the ending of this masterpiece was warming. The editing, narration and flow of the entire video was perfect. Revan is the Alexander of Star Wars for me, and you did him justice. I think we all wanted our own Bastila back then. I hope to still see you making videos as Star Wars carries on. All the best.
I really appreciate comments like this. In the end, that's all I strive for - to do the characters (and stories) I cover, justice. Thank you!
Anytime, great work!
This game is one of my all time favorites too! I
aye can we appreciate the narrators all these years later? the narration makes it so much better.
dearly beloved... Nice choice of music
Cantonnier Bethcepour Lavhy 10:55
I was like wait.. no... i've heard this before.... kingdom hearts
Flawless presentation. This is without a doubt my favorite Star Wars game ever. This, KOTOR 2, and SWTOR comprise my fondest gaming memories.
Thank you!!
Great job ! As soon as I saw a title i knew I was going to enjoy this , if you will need some SWTOR footage for example of knights of the fallen empire or something else i have a quite a library recorded in HD and with all quotes from a game , just message me . keep up a good work ! #makerevancanon
Thanks man! If I need anything of the sort in future videos, I'll be sure to message you. Thanks again, really appreciate it.
