They almost always forget Malak which pains me a lot because I like him more than Revan. He was also a great example of what a Sith lord and just villain In general should be like. (Lawful evil) He, nor other kotor characters are barely mentioned in the SWTOR game and while he did appear in a cut content sketch of Exegol it still pains me Malak is "non canon" while Revan is canon. Revan wouldn't have existed without Malak and vice versa.
Star Wars: Knights of The Old Republic .... CHANGE THE FKING TITLE THEN... PISS OFF.... WEIRD ASS SERIES I NEVER HEARD OFF... RAGGGGGGGGGGGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Gnomes GAMR uuhh. yes. it does say series. but the SERIES, is TOR, not KOTOR. "KNIGHTS" of the old Republic are specific games. SWTOR is not a part of those games. Yet this video didn't touch on the Knights of series at all
yes it did it covered the first KOTOR game, the second has very little to do with the over all plot (yes there is a book that links them but it's not in game and the characters are never mentioned in SWTOR) and SWTOR is a sequel and part of the series.
Actually "The Old Republic" Storyline. "Knights of the Old Republic" deals with revan, malak , bastila then scion, nihilus and traya.. Just correcting you there ;)
Yep. Just finished playing KotOR II (Jedi Sentinel and Watchman, with Light Mastery) first time around, so came here and wanted to see what they threw in from KotOR
zakman97 It's literally Knights of the Old Republic in the title of the shortcut that the disc put on my desktop (which I have not changed) Knights of the Old Republic changes to KotOR when you make it an acronym. Capitals transcribe to capitals.
I went as Revan last Halloween I had to explain to so many people who Revan was. It sucks when one f the coolest Star Wars characters ever is not well known.
"kylo ren lost to rey without no training" after kylo ren was shot by chewie's bowcaster, a weapon that would normally send people flying, you try having a sword fight after being shot by something that powerful and winning.
King Jon Starkgeryan Naw I just didn't like how they treated old charactors. And up until KOTFE it had some really crappy stories for certain charactors. Though the game is not bad KOTOR easily makes it look...Just basic.
Good job my only real piece of criticism for it is, I think you focused to much on SWTOR's story and not enough on the KOTOR's I & II's story. KOTOR II wasn't even mentioned, neither was the Exile, someone very important to Revan's story who ended up dying for them.
While valid criticism you have to remember that they only have a 3 minutes timeframe and they covered the most broader pieces of information of a 300 years storyline.
Star Wars: Knights of The Old Republic TITLE... NOT SWTOR... WHO THE FK NAMES THE TITLE KOTOR AND TALKS ABOUT THE FKING SWTOR SERIES... RAGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Star Wars: Knights of The Old Republic TITLE... PISS OFF ROMEO FKING IDIOT... KOTOR... KNIGHTS OF OLD REPUBLIC..,. NOT SOME DIPSHIT SERIES I'VE NEVER HEARD OFFF............ RAGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Romeo Garcia I don't know why people keep saying read the description, maybe you should read it? This video has nothing to do with the KNIGHTS of the old republic. SWTOR =\= KOTOR. This video doesn't touch the Knights of the Old Republic at all, yet it specifies "Knights of" in both the title, and the description. Two entirely different and barely related games.
If I had to make an example Josue, I wouldn't say its inaccurate, but if they did a Kingdom Hearts video right now, and they only covered Kingdom Hearts I and Kingdom Hearts Coded or something like that. They missed alot of story before and after. Especially considering they when over Star Wars The Old Republic, and not, Knights of the Old Republic, which are two different game series which crossover, but are most definitely named different. I don't mind the SWTOR info but why leave out KOTOR II in a KOTOR video
absolutely wrong! You missed out the starforge, Darth Malak, the mandalorian wars and Exar Kun. Things from the original '' knights of the old republic ''. Mixed up some things from the mmo '' the old republic '' instead and didn't even mention main twists of the second game, '' knights of the old republic: the sithlords''. Where's the exile? Where is Kreia? Great Job on that!
Eagle J. 3 minutes of SWTOR. Hardly anything here about KOTOR 1 and 2. SWTOR is a different game and hardly had anything to do with the KOTOR series since they fucked up the two main protagonists from the games.
Guys.. You fucked up so bad here. This is either mislabeled as KOTOR, or you condensed waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much and skipped all the other really important shit. The Old Republic includes KOTOR history, but it is not a direct sequel. Well it is, but.. the point it this shit is already so convoluted and all over the place, that doing a 3 minute video skips over SO MUCH.
Hmm, it's made pretty clear talking to Kreia and Goto in KotoR2, that Revan was not defeating the republic for the emperor. He was destroying the weaker worlds, while leaving the infrastructure in tact, possibly in an attempt to strengthen what remained, to fight the emperor.
Stealthyhunter Well, it's 3 minutes, do you expect them to fit that all in there too? They got what happened right, but they didn't include the why's or how's mostly.
I'm more so raging about the fact that the Emperor invaded the Republic 300 years after Revan fought him a second time. Not the way that it's being portrayed here. (Even though it is literal BS what they did to Revan though, just milking his name to bring people back with the hole DLC just for him.)
Outer Insanity - because the title of the video is KOTOR in 3 minutes, but this is a SWTOR video in three minutes. Two entirely different games, and they literally didn't even talk about KOTOR; you could TECHNICALLY say the first 5 seconds is a hyper condensed KOTOR1, but that's not really accurate it just says who Revan is, and isn't even close to what actually happened. They left out the actual plot of KOTOR entirely, and didn't even vaugely mention anything from KOTOR2. If the title was "SWTOR in 3 minutes", no one would be bothered.
Muhammad Rizki They are technically the same storyline. In SWtOR, you even find the ruins caused by the damage done to Taris in KotOR. HK-47 even makes an appearance and can be a companion.
this video is called "knights of the old republic storyline" yet only the first 40 seconds were actually from knights of the old republic. the rest of the entire video is about a completely different game
thats star wars the old republic, not kotor. kotor 1 was between bastilla, revan, and malak. kotor 2 was between nahillis revan and the guy who is technically dead but alive and his name iludes me.
Alot of stuff is wrong with this. 1. This goes over the Old Republic games aka KOTOR and SWTOR but for some reason ignores KOTOR 2. 2. KOTOR 2 had nothing to do with Revan it as about one of his former students Meetra Surik. 3. Meetra is a woman and dead. She's the ghost in SWTOR who tells you where to find and free Revan.
your wrong. meetra is still alive by the time vaner is born, and revan is put into stasis by the emperor. also, it goes KOTOR, KOTOR2, the book 'Revan'(basically KOTOR3) and somewhere around the ass end of 'Revan', SWTOR kicks in where you let revan out of stasis.
A note: The Sith Emperor already had the physical form of Valkorion under his wing when the Sith Empire was formed. He found the Sith Empire to be a failure and split himself as the Sith Emperor and Valkorion, not giving too much attention to Valkorion while the other portion of him spent time trying to consume the Galaxy to become everything. *shrugs* Just thought you guys should've known that.
Cheeki Breeki Priest And I'll be here waiting for mention of the Exile. or KOTOR2. or either of the "Knights of" games for that matter. since that was the title???
just 1 point of criticism: the dark Jedi were cast out by the Republic long ago and mixed with the sith species So the first attack was not because of their war-driven characteristics but because of revenge (as always with the sithys)
“It’s a trap!” 12 seconds was spent on explaining ‘Knights of the Old Republic’. Which briefly states that Revan turned against the Republic, lost his memory and turned back to fighting for the Republic.
Eeeeeeeee, SWTOR!! It's so rare to see it get attention and acknowledgement these days! Makes me happy! Yeah, there are some rather blatant inaccuracies. Come on, the great hyperspace war didn't start just cause the "sith are evil", they were pretty much tricked into it by Naga Sadow. Scourge and his vision of the Jedi Knight is a pretty damn big part of it too... while the dread masters are not, they could be skipped and you would not have lost anything. But I guess it'll pass for the non-initiated...
Revan didn't join because he wanted to. The emperor broke Revan's will, and made him a puppet of the Dark side, and Revan kept trying to fight for control. And he finally gets his will back when Malak fires against Revan's vessel, otherwise leaving his mind crippled. Revan never wanted to join the Dark side, he was forced.
I would have preferred this video to be only about KOTOR and KOTOR 2. I don't like TOR as Bioware refuses to make KOTOR 3 in a hopeless attempt to delay the death of TOR which is already dead. Just make KOTOR 3 already pls.
Me in the beginning: Oh I guess we're starting from Tales of the Jedi to Knights of the Old Republic 2 The Sith Lords Me after 15 seconds into the video: Oh it's just SWTOR
Just another correction: The Sith didn't attack until the banished dark Jedi found them on Koriban, led by a fallen Jedi they attacked the Republic, but were then driven back to Koriban, or mostly, some sith fled to Yavin
PLEASE READ, you should do a three minutes of the human race in the real word. This would be really interesting and cool. Readers, plz like so ArcadeCloud can read this. :D
For years I've heard many Star Wars fans beg for a movie about the Old Republic, but I've never known the story. This video was the exact crash course I needed. Now that I've heard about it, I must say, I hope a movie NEVER gets made on this topic, as the story is absolutely ridiculous.
I keep seeing comments saying this video should’ve been called “The Old Republic in Three Minutes” instead of “Knights of the Old Republic in Three Minutes”. Meanwhile, I’m here thinking it just should’ve just been called “This History of Revan in Three Minutes” because the video basically talked about things that happened in both games that mainly focused on Revan.
For those who haven't played the Old Republic MMORP; yes, those "Champions of the Republic and the Empire" as well as the "Ambiguous Jedi" mentioned here are YOUR custom characters, however, in every playthrough, it can only be ONE character from your profile. The whole story and dialogues play out like it was your one character, not multiple, which kinda sucks. I passed the main stories for every class and certianly grew to love my Bounty Hunter, Jedi Blademaster, Smuggler, Imperial Agent, Republic Trooper, Jedi Consular, Sith Inquisitor, and of course the Emperor's Wrath
2:00 and then it was over. Nothing happened after that. It was a shame Bioware decided to stop adding content after the Dread Masters. Just like it was a shame that Terminator 2 was the last Terminator sequel and how George Lucas never made 3 movies to take place before a New Hope like he said he would.
Other than this not being about Kotor, but instead about SWTOR, another big mistake concerns the description of the Sith in the beginning. While they are indeed a species called the Sith, and that the Sith Order's name comes from them, this speicies had already mixed itself with the first Dark Jedis who went to Korriban(the home planet of the Sith species). Those Drak Jedis founded the Sith Order/Empire, and the Sith who are seen here aren't all from the Sith Species specifically because of that. They left known space togteher with those from the Sith species.
people are muttering because he didnt include most of the details of KOTOR but youdont think of the the time limit he had set on himself . I mean he fucking did the whole story in 3 mins thats fckin insane!!
i stoped the Video at 1:40. i played KotOR 1 and 2 and TOR and i read the book "Revan" from Drew Karpyshyn. this Video is just wrong. (at least the first half, don´t know the rest^^)
K people are complaining "it's not the right game!! blah blah" ok yeah sure but it was still a good video and combined the two storylines, which I found very helpful since I'm playing SWTOR but haven't had time or money to play KOTOR or the expansions. This does a pretty good job simplifying things, so I know what's going on but doesn't ruin the game---unlike watching through hours of cutscenes, which then makes me feel like, well, I've pretty much seen it all already. (plus, it says "The Star Wars "The Old Republic" Chronology in 3 minutes", not Knights of the Old Republic, in the start of the video.)
Pretty accurate, but mostly involves SWTOR and doesn't mention that Revan led the Jedi during the Mandalorian Wars, which was a plot by the Sith Emperor to test the Republic before invading.
This is the Old Republic. Knights of The Old Republic goes like this: The Sith have started their Dark Jedi training and eventually let two Jedi, Revan and Malik, join shortly after the two find a set of star maps on 5 planets that lead to the Star Forge. Since it is created by the Sith, Reven and Malik join the Sith to where Reven is deemed worthy as the new Sith Lord and Malik as the apprentice. BUT Reven is betrayed by Malik and is taken by Jedi Master Bastila and the Republic, shortly after losing his memory thinking he is someone else. After working with the Republic to find the Star Forge, Reven remembers who he is and must choose his new life on the path of light, or return the dark side. Light: Reven abadons his past and helps the Republic defeat Malik and destroy the Star Forge. Dark: Reven kills Malik, betrays the Republic, and is the Sith Lord once more. The End. (KOTOR2 is different).
The Republic found the Sith (not the other way around) and the Sith fought against who they thought were invaders which led to the Great Hyperspace War. The Sith were defeated but Jedi who defied the Order and sought the power of the Dark side went and found refuge on the Sith homeworld Korriban. Skipping over the Jedi Civil War, we come to the Mandalorian War. Which started because the Sith and Dark Jedi who escaped to Dromund Kaas approached Mandalore the Ultimate with an offer of glory in fighting the Republic. This is where Revan comes in. With his best friend Alack and several other Jedi who disagreed with the Council's inaction, Revan joined the Republic and led a successful campaign against the Mandalorians. Eventually, Revan and Alack followed a retreating Mandalorian ship to Dromund Kaas where they met the Emperor, who converted them to the Dark side and told them of an ancient weapon they could use to wage war on the Republic. Revan and Alack returned to the Republic as heroes and began their search for the Star Forge while seeing how many soldiers they could recruit to their cause. Once they had the Star Forge and enough soldiers and former Jedi on their side, they waged war and assumed the titles Darth Revan and Darth Malak, with Revan as Malak's master as he was the strongest of the two. However, Dark side Revan saw the Sith Empire as a threat and felt the galaxy wasn't strong enough to withstand an assault from them so his campaign was meant to cull the weak Republic and strengthen the galaxy with him at it's head. Malak never understood this and so when Revan was captured by Bastilla, Malak fired on Revan's bridge hoping to eliminate the Jedi and his master. Assuming he killed them all, he continued the war but did so indiscriminately, simply killing all who opposed him. Revan is brought back to the Jedi by Bastilla, they track down the Star Forge, and defeat Malak. That's the KotOR 1 story. I'll admit I don't know too much about the backstory of Nihilus, Scion, and Traya. Although I do know that Nihilus is no longer a man but rather the manifestation of an insatiable hunger for power
Darth Marr did not take over the Sith Empire, he was the head of Imperial Defense and they ruled as a Dark Council with the other council members in the Emperor's absence. The Dread Masters were ordered by The Emperor to attack everyone to help fuel The Emperor's transition back to his last remaining vessel body.(Valkorian) Emperor Valkorian was not the "new form" of The Emperor, he had that form before the Sith Empire attacked. The Emperor's true name is Tanebrae, and his Sith name is Vitiate(Darth Vitiate), and he has experimented with life extension for thousands of years. One trick he came up with was to have multiple bodies which have been conditioned to be receptacles for his spirit, and Valkorion is one of them. In one of the chapters he explains that this process involves conditioning to "hollow out" a potential vessel body. Vitiate can travel from one body to the other at the cost of a lot of energy, any body not in use goes into a slumber. After the events of of Shadow of Revan he is down to his last body(Valkorian) He made the Sith Empire so he could make it attack the Republic as an experiment to see if he could siphon the life-force of those killed in the war to extend his life. Right before his final death, The Emperor tries to hollow out the player to be his new body, but the player's spirit proves able to fend off the Emperor as he tries to hollow out the players mind-scape, and his spirit is killed.
here's a quick tip he missed,when the emperor dies his soul takes the body of his son because his son is killed that's why he takes over. if he was really good he would have destroyed the eternal empire.
The Outlander was never canonically a Jedi. In fact the entire SWTOR story has no official explanation because all the stories are based on the player's custom character and their choices
This is the backstory of the expansion of SWTOR that I believe is called Knights of the Eternal Empire or Throne, something of that sort and the story of Revan expansion as well
The idea of bringing the Emperor to life just to kill him again reminds me of Starcraft 1. Originally, the Overmind was an intageable system on electro pulses between all Zerg (like all minds, but bigger) but for some unexplained reason he wanted to be physically real, so the Zerg created a body for the Overmind... which gets killed.
Nah I feel like the overmind was always a thing, it just eventually evolved into the megalithic thing it was as it began to have to control uncountable zerg hoards, even with the cerebri there to help
Did you notice that the SWTOR storyline got more ridiculous after the emperor initially dies. Well there's more storyline after this now and it hasn't improved.
If people say you missed so much information did you not miss the title it clearly says in 3 minutes which obviously means yes they're gonna miss things and not cover everything
Revan vs emperor. Revan vs jedi. Malak stays revan changed. Revan vs sith empire. Won but later kidnapped by emperor. Killed by emperor but Turns into 2 people. Emperor into non physicsl form. New leader of sith empire. Revan makes sith empire fight republic. Brings emeperor back using all the people. Light side form prevails snd light anf dark fuse. Emperor reborn and forms eternal empire
I'm sorry but the OUTLANDER in Knights of the Fallen Empire and Knights of the Eternal Throne expansions is not "an ambiguous Jedi". The game establishes that all eight original class characters - Hero of Tython, Barsen'thor, Meteor, Voidhound, Cipher Nine, Hunter, Empire's Wrath and Darth Nox - disappeared around the start of the Eternal Empire conquest, and any of them can become the Outlander, But obviously, the "canon" Outlander is a Force User. I think it is the Wrath, the Emperor is especially fond of and is the only one he promised to spare until last. Also he seems to be the best for the job and he just fits for the story especially since Marr will call a sith hero not a republic hero to help him against the emperor. To be fair even Darth Imperius works (During the conversations on Marr's ship at the beginning, you are addressed as your proper Darth title, and the insta-60, neutral though he may be, is addressed as Darth Imperius.) But the Wrath fits better with him being the enforcer of the sith empire also because the Wrath defeated the Emperor once before so he has experience. To be honest, i felt like the Sith Warriors past makes the story seem better because of all the references.
This video is awesome! I never heard the story of SWTOR so good explaind in such a short time! Will you also make a long (extended) version of SWTOR, where you explain all the details? btw: you have got a subscriber more ^^
This video is proof that you cannot condense all of the Knights of The Old Republic story in 3 minutes. And the fact that you didn't even mention one of the most impactful and brilliant characters in all of Star Wars - FUCKING KREIA - is just a slap in the face.
Now correct me if I'm wrong here but there is a IMPORTANT CHARACTER CALLED MALAK who is kinda central to the KOTOR plot.
And there's also a game called KOTOR 2 which is astronomically important to the story, but you skipped it.
this is Whatever the fuck starwars game or somthing... and NOT KOTOR... >:(
They did SWTOR instead of KOTOR
And he also glossed over that part but he bangs bastila have a lot of records of that in my holocrons
They almost always forget Malak which pains me a lot because I like him more than Revan. He was also a great example of what a Sith lord and just villain In general should be like. (Lawful evil)
He, nor other kotor characters are barely mentioned in the SWTOR game and while he did appear in a cut content sketch of Exegol it still pains me Malak is "non canon" while Revan is canon. Revan wouldn't have existed without Malak and vice versa.
that was SWTOR not KOTOR. shame. shame. shame
read the description, it says series... but i'm also raging about it being revan and the emperor and no one else
Star Wars: Knights of The Old Republic .... CHANGE THE FKING TITLE THEN... PISS OFF.... WEIRD ASS SERIES I NEVER HEARD OFF... RAGGGGGGGGGGGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
zakman97 are you just following me around in all the comments saying "WEIRD ASS SERIES I NEVER HEARD OFFFF"
Gnomes GAMR uuhh. yes. it does say series. but the SERIES, is TOR, not KOTOR.
"KNIGHTS" of the old Republic are specific games. SWTOR is not a part of those games. Yet this video didn't touch on the Knights of series at all

Star Wars: Knights of The Old Republic TITLE? IM LIKE... BRUH THATS NOT KOTOR... U JUST PISSED ALL OVER KOTOR TITLE... RAGEEEEEE
zakman97 haha same herr xD
Yep. Just finished playing KotOR II (Jedi Sentinel and Watchman, with Light Mastery) first time around, so came here and wanted to see what they threw in from KotOR
dude its KOTOR not KotOR :\ Say the dam thing like a fan does... and say it right...
zakman97 It's literally Knights of the Old Republic in the title of the shortcut that the disc put on my desktop (which I have not changed) Knights of the Old Republic changes to KotOR when you make it an acronym. Capitals transcribe to capitals.
I went as Revan last Halloween I had to explain to so many people who Revan was. It sucks when one f the coolest Star Wars characters ever is not well known.
had the same problem... luckily the 501st members knew who I was, or at least some did.
He really has nothing to him but armor and deeds, he has little to none personality.
Drelas Just go again this Halloween and see how many people mistake you for Kylo Ren....
I WOULD MAKE THEM LEARN ABOUT REVAN kylo ren lost to rey without no training #PLOT
"kylo ren lost to rey without no training" after kylo ren was shot by chewie's bowcaster, a weapon that would normally send people flying, you try having a sword fight after being shot by something that powerful and winning.
Title is clearly wrong. This is the story of SWTOR not KOTOR. Please change the title.
Or just the old republic.
that's what he just said.
The only KOTOR part (That you experience.) is when Revan joins the Jedi.
Micah Isham in the video it says its swtor but the title says kotor
it's not even a good explanation of the swtor story
This video doesn't even focus on Knights of the Old Republic at all
It starts of with "Knights" then its just "The Old Republic".
Aw it's the SWTOR game....I thought it was KOTOR like it said in the title.....
Lenny the Ithorian J.R Juat because you didn't get a single player RPG doesn't make swtor a bad game.
King Jon Starkgeryan
Naw I just didn't like how they treated old charactors. And up until KOTFE it had some really crappy stories for certain charactors. Though the game is not bad KOTOR easily makes it look...Just basic.
Rick 1998
Ouch...What exactly prompted that?
This isn't the story of KOTOR, it's the story of SWTOR.
Dude, this is "The Old Republic" in 3 minutes. Not...Knights of the Old Republic that involved Bastila Shan, Revan, Malak, and many others.
For real, they didn't even make it Bastilla who bonked Revan instead of some Twi'lek.
@@Floydthefuckbag yes and 'boinked' Bastila thus creating a lineage of powerful Jedi called Shan
came because title was kotor, disappointed it hardly even contained kotor
Good job my only real piece of criticism for it is, I think you focused to much on SWTOR's story and not enough on the KOTOR's I & II's story. KOTOR II wasn't even mentioned, neither was the Exile, someone very important to Revan's story who ended up dying for them.
While valid criticism you have to remember that they only have a 3 minutes timeframe and they covered the most broader pieces of information of a 300 years storyline.
the problem is the video title
they also got a few things flat out wrong
Star Wars: Knights of The Old Republic TITLE... NOT SWTOR... WHO THE FK NAMES THE TITLE KOTOR AND TALKS ABOUT THE FKING SWTOR SERIES... RAGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Clickbait atleast i undserstand the swtor story now
AND nothing on Exar Kun and Ulic Qel Droma or the Mandalorian Wars. This was like 40% TOR backstory, 10% KOTOR, and 50% inaccurate description of TOR.
This is not KOTOR, This is SWTOR, please guys, correct that
R e a d t h e d e s c r i p t i o n
Star Wars: Knights of The Old Republic TITLE... PISS OFF ROMEO FKING IDIOT... KOTOR... KNIGHTS OF OLD REPUBLIC..,. NOT SOME DIPSHIT SERIES I'VE NEVER HEARD OFFF............ RAGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
calm down big fella
Romeo Garcia I don't know why people keep saying read the description, maybe you should read it?
This video has nothing to do with the KNIGHTS of the old republic. SWTOR =\= KOTOR.
This video doesn't touch the Knights of the Old Republic at all, yet it specifies "Knights of" in both the title, and the description. Two entirely different and barely related games.
x\ Dokuujin /x It says series
And this video is extremely inaccurate
Could you elaborate? I'm lost with the story and apparently ArcadeCloud is wrong.
so sith attack the republic cause there war driven right?
If I had to make an example Josue, I wouldn't say its inaccurate, but if they did a Kingdom Hearts video right now, and they only covered Kingdom Hearts I and Kingdom Hearts Coded or something like that. They missed alot of story before and after. Especially considering they when over Star Wars The Old Republic, and not, Knights of the Old Republic, which are two different game series which crossover, but are most definitely named different. I don't mind the SWTOR info but why leave out KOTOR II in a KOTOR video
Ah, in that case, like you are saying, it's not inaccuracy but lack of info for the sake of time.
Josue Gonzalez They've done better crunches on other games with bigger storylines so I wouldnt blame time either lol, just lack of info
absolutely wrong! You missed out the starforge, Darth Malak, the mandalorian wars and Exar Kun. Things from the original '' knights of the old republic ''. Mixed up some things from the mmo '' the old republic '' instead and didn't even mention main twists of the second game, '' knights of the old republic: the sithlords''. Where's the exile? Where is Kreia? Great Job on that!
it's a 3 minute summary they had to leave out a lot of stuff
Eagle J. 3 minutes of SWTOR. Hardly anything here about KOTOR 1 and 2. SWTOR is a different game and hardly had anything to do with the KOTOR series since they fucked up the two main protagonists from the games.
Just remove 'Knights of' form the title and I'll give you a like
He is too full of ego to do so
Form?
YOU MISSED SO MUCH INFO AND YOUR GOING TO NEED A PART 2!
George McGuinness yoi try puting the whole story into 3 minutes
Kotor and Swtor story in 37days and 11hours, this video should be...
swtor shouldnt even been here
why shouldn't SWTOR be in this video? it's part of the series. is it just because you don't like MMORPGs?
Its kinda a part of the series but they should have left for they own part because not metioning any thing from kotor 2 is really good jk
Guys.. You fucked up so bad here. This is either mislabeled as KOTOR, or you condensed waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much and skipped all the other really important shit. The Old Republic includes KOTOR history, but it is not a direct sequel. Well it is, but.. the point it this shit is already so convoluted and all over the place, that doing a 3 minute video skips over SO MUCH.
Wes Roth agree with you. It's good to see that I'm not the only one who is not amused..
They didn't even directly mention how much of a badass Revan really is
its normal to skip a lot since the story is so long. but he mixed up a lot of shit entirely
+DCEUphoria how :-\
eh they shouldnt even put swtor here so its kinda clickbait
0:38 Revan: "I'll stop you Emperor."
Emperor: "Something, something, something, Dark Side."
Revan: "Okay" 👍
Hmm, it's made pretty clear talking to Kreia and Goto in KotoR2, that Revan was not defeating the republic for the emperor.
He was destroying the weaker worlds, while leaving the infrastructure in tact, possibly in an attempt to strengthen what remained, to fight the emperor.
yeah it's too bad that the jackass who wrote the Revan book couldn't comprehend a story like that and took a weak shortcut
Too bad that Malak had a turn xD He wasn't so kind. Remember Taris?
And now... let the Star Wars nerds rage!
Why in the world would they rage? It's pretty accurate all considered, though it's less KOTOR and more SWTOR
Outer Insanity
eeeeh it is sorta accurate they didn't include info from kotor 2 and the books of the old republic among other things as well.
Stealthyhunter Well, it's 3 minutes, do you expect them to fit that all in there too? They got what happened right, but they didn't include the why's or how's mostly.
I'm more so raging about the fact that the Emperor invaded the Republic 300 years after Revan fought him a second time. Not the way that it's being portrayed here. (Even though it is literal BS what they did to Revan though, just milking his name to bring people back with the hole DLC just for him.)
Outer Insanity - because the title of the video is KOTOR in 3 minutes, but this is a SWTOR video in three minutes.
Two entirely different games, and they literally didn't even talk about KOTOR; you could TECHNICALLY say the first 5 seconds is a hyper condensed KOTOR1, but that's not really accurate it just says who Revan is, and isn't even close to what actually happened.
They left out the actual plot of KOTOR entirely, and didn't even vaugely mention anything from KOTOR2.
If the title was "SWTOR in 3 minutes", no one would be bothered.
where's darth Malak
STAR WARS NERD RAAAAGE
Dead. That's where Malak is.
It's EA's money maker TOR not to be confused with one of the star wars game masterpiece KOTOR
RAAAAAAAAGE!!!!
Muhammad Rizki They are technically the same storyline. In SWtOR, you even find the ruins caused by the damage done to Taris in KotOR. HK-47 even makes an appearance and can be a companion.
never played the mmorpg. just the two single player games (kotor 1 & kotor 2) and i gotta say they really f***ed the story up
This needs more upvotes
@@helloweasel1295 I actually really like what they did and even though it isn't as good as KOTOR 1and 2 its still fine.
this video is called "knights of the old republic storyline" yet only the first 40 seconds were actually from knights of the old republic. the rest of the entire video is about a completely different game
The only line in this that is from KOTOR gameplay is "Revan fights for the Republic for some time"
thats star wars the old republic, not kotor. kotor 1 was between bastilla, revan, and malak. kotor 2 was between nahillis revan and the guy who is technically dead but alive and his name iludes me.
Alot of stuff is wrong with this.
1. This goes over the Old Republic games aka KOTOR and SWTOR but for some reason ignores KOTOR 2.
2. KOTOR 2 had nothing to do with Revan it as about one of his former students Meetra Surik.
3. Meetra is a woman and dead. She's the ghost in SWTOR who tells you where to find and free Revan.
Sorry. I play all of kotor but im still in the middle of kotor 2, well more so toward the beginning but on the planet after the mining planet
Cialex Shekai You are very late to get aboard the KOTOR hype train. But I guess later is better then never, welcome.
your wrong. meetra is still alive by the time vaner is born, and revan is put into stasis by the emperor. also, it goes KOTOR, KOTOR2, the book 'Revan'(basically KOTOR3) and somewhere around the ass end of 'Revan', SWTOR kicks in where you let revan out of stasis.
Me at the beginning of this video: yay a KOTOR story in 3 minutes
Me almost directly after the start: Wait that isnt KOTOR
A note: The Sith Emperor already had the physical form of Valkorion under his wing when the Sith Empire was formed. He found the Sith Empire to be a failure and split himself as the Sith Emperor and Valkorion, not giving too much attention to Valkorion while the other portion of him spent time trying to consume the Galaxy to become everything. *shrugs* Just thought you guys should've known that.
waits for mention of malak
Cheeki Breeki Priest
And I'll be here waiting for mention of the Exile.
or KOTOR2.
or either of the "Knights of" games for that matter. since that was the title???
No mention of Malak, Zayne Carrick, Meetra Surik, the Mandalorian Wars, Exar Kun, Ulic Qel-Droma...
just 1 point of criticism: the dark Jedi were cast out by the Republic long ago and mixed with the sith species
So the first attack was not because of their war-driven characteristics but because of revenge (as always with the sithys)
“It’s a trap!”
12 seconds was spent on explaining ‘Knights of the Old Republic’. Which briefly states that Revan turned against the Republic, lost his memory and turned back to fighting for the Republic.
Eeeeeeeee, SWTOR!! It's so rare to see it get attention and acknowledgement these days! Makes me happy! Yeah, there are some rather blatant inaccuracies.
Come on, the great hyperspace war didn't start just cause the "sith are evil", they were pretty much tricked into it by Naga Sadow. Scourge and his vision of the Jedi Knight is a pretty damn big part of it too... while the dread masters are not, they could be skipped and you would not have lost anything.
But I guess it'll pass for the non-initiated...
Star Wars: Knights of The Old Republic NOT SWTOR...ITS KOTOR... PISS OFF... RAGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
+zakman97 hey, you decide o cover stuff outside of kotor, at least do it right :P
clearly it says KNIGHTS OF THE OLD REPUBLIC K - O - T - O - R NOT SHIT SWTOR OR WHATEVER...
in the video it says SWTOR not Kotor but it fails at explaining either one properly so just dislike and move on
The video spent 12 seconds on KotOR. The rest was dedicated to roughly explaining Vitiate and Revan’s roles in the SWtOR storyline.
Revan didn't join because he wanted to. The emperor broke Revan's will, and made him a puppet of the Dark side, and Revan kept trying to fight for control. And he finally gets his will back when Malak fires against Revan's vessel, otherwise leaving his mind crippled. Revan never wanted to join the Dark side, he was forced.
I would have preferred this video to be only about KOTOR and KOTOR 2. I don't like TOR as Bioware refuses to make KOTOR 3 in a hopeless attempt to delay the death of TOR which is already dead. Just make KOTOR 3 already pls.
I see so many parallels to The Rise Of Skywalker in this
Change to five minutes. You guys were so inaccurate
change it to one month... there is a lot of story not included in the games......
Me in the beginning: Oh I guess we're starting from Tales of the Jedi to Knights of the Old Republic 2 The Sith Lords
Me after 15 seconds into the video: Oh it's just SWTOR
Swtor destroyed Revan
I CANT BELIEVE U FORGOT THE PART WHERE I PLAYED PAZZAK IN THE CANTINA GOSH
This was Star Wars: The old Republic in 3 minutes, not Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. You mainly focused on the mmorpg and not the kotor 1&2.
Just another correction: The Sith didn't attack until the banished dark Jedi found them on Koriban, led by a fallen Jedi they attacked the Republic, but were then driven back to Koriban, or mostly, some sith fled to Yavin
PLEASE READ, you should do a three minutes of the human race in the real word. This would be really interesting and cool. Readers, plz like so ArcadeCloud can read this. :D
Desert Explorer it's called 3 minute gaming
It's called "_ _(usually a game)_ explained in 3 minutes."
thenecromorpher, I know this is why this would be different and new
watches this video for 3 mins... Yep that video was boring... its just me watching myself... LOLZ XD
Desert Explorer I was intending my comment to reply to titlo3, idk why it didn't.
For years I've heard many Star Wars fans beg for a movie about the Old Republic, but I've never known the story. This video was the exact crash course I needed. Now that I've heard about it, I must say, I hope a movie NEVER gets made on this topic, as the story is absolutely ridiculous.
I mean it's been a while since I've played the game... but I'm pretty sure that's now what happened... pls explain
He was explaining the story of Kotor and the online game SW:TOR
EnemyAdensmith oh so here combined them?
yeah, still does not explain why he did not just call it the old republic
EnemyAdensmith true but makes alot more sense
Amazing work as always
This actually explains a lot
Solid Snake it does like the fact the emperor came back from the dead as the sith but as a new form CRAZY SHIIIIIII
I keep seeing comments saying this video should’ve been called “The Old Republic in Three Minutes” instead of “Knights of the Old Republic in Three Minutes”. Meanwhile, I’m here thinking it just should’ve just been called “This History of Revan in Three Minutes” because the video basically talked about things that happened in both games that mainly focused on Revan.
Yeah you guys should have just left the swtor stuff out of it and made a second video for that and stuck with the kotor for this one
Yesssss I've wanted this forever.
POV: You just saw the remake trailer
POV: you just learned who is working on it
You completely forgot to mention the mandorlorian wars..
1:53 E.T. WTF?? 😂😂😂😂
For those who haven't played the Old Republic MMORP; yes, those "Champions of the Republic and the Empire" as well as the "Ambiguous Jedi" mentioned here are YOUR custom characters, however, in every playthrough, it can only be ONE character from your profile. The whole story and dialogues play out like it was your one character, not multiple, which kinda sucks. I passed the main stories for every class and certianly grew to love my Bounty Hunter, Jedi Blademaster, Smuggler, Imperial Agent, Republic Trooper, Jedi Consular, Sith Inquisitor, and of course the Emperor's Wrath
2:00 and then it was over. Nothing happened after that. It was a shame Bioware decided to stop adding content after the Dread Masters. Just like it was a shame that Terminator 2 was the last Terminator sequel and how George Lucas never made 3 movies to take place before a New Hope like he said he would.
Other than this not being about Kotor, but instead about SWTOR, another big mistake concerns the description of the Sith in the beginning. While they are indeed a species called the Sith, and that the Sith Order's name comes from them, this speicies had already mixed itself with the first Dark Jedis who went to Korriban(the home planet of the Sith species). Those Drak Jedis founded the Sith Order/Empire, and the Sith who are seen here aren't all from the Sith Species specifically because of that. They left known space togteher with those from the Sith species.
god, there were so many mistakes later in the video as well...
Way too confusing
Play actual Kotor... not confusing... not lame, not wondering why the fuck THE TITLE IS WRONG!
So close to a million....damn keep it up!!!
thats not the whole thing
Camron Page it's in 3 minutes
people are muttering because he didnt include most of the details of KOTOR but youdont think of the the time limit he had set on himself . I mean he fucking did the whole story in 3 mins thats fckin insane!!
i stoped the Video at 1:40. i played KotOR 1 and 2 and TOR and i read the book "Revan" from Drew Karpyshyn. this Video is just wrong. (at least the first half, don´t know the rest^^)
yeah the first half was wrong, second half was probably as close as you can get with 3minutes of explaining
Awesome and funny,subscribed!
Hello, I was a pie...
UNTIL I DIED!
Rest in piece....budieeeeeeeeeeeee
I used to be a pie like you
BUT I GOT ARROWHEAD FILLING TO THE KNEE
just no...
K people are complaining "it's not the right game!! blah blah" ok yeah sure but it was still a good video and combined the two storylines, which I found very helpful since I'm playing SWTOR but haven't had time or money to play KOTOR or the expansions. This does a pretty good job simplifying things, so I know what's going on but doesn't ruin the game---unlike watching through hours of cutscenes, which then makes me feel like, well, I've pretty much seen it all already.
(plus, it says "The Star Wars "The Old Republic" Chronology in 3 minutes", not Knights of the Old Republic, in the start of the video.)
Wow... The Old Republic storyline sucks - too much back and forth, too much craziness. KOTOR was infinitely better; it was far more grounded.
Pretty accurate, but mostly involves SWTOR and doesn't mention that Revan led the Jedi during the Mandalorian Wars, which was a plot by the Sith Emperor to test the Republic before invading.
I hate it when people use "Like if you agree" comments
Bet you thought I was going to write "Like if You Agree"
You just wrote it twice... dumbass
Why do you think I had the quote
I thought you would, and you did...
This is the Old Republic.
Knights of The Old Republic goes like this:
The Sith have started their Dark Jedi training and eventually let two Jedi, Revan and Malik, join shortly after the two find a set of star maps on 5 planets that lead to the Star Forge. Since it is created by the Sith, Reven and Malik join the Sith to where Reven is deemed worthy as the new Sith Lord and Malik as the apprentice. BUT Reven is betrayed by Malik and is taken by Jedi Master Bastila and the Republic, shortly after losing his memory thinking he is someone else. After working with the Republic to find the Star Forge, Reven remembers who he is and must choose his new life on the path of light, or return the dark side.
Light: Reven abadons his past and helps the Republic defeat Malik and destroy the Star Forge.
Dark: Reven kills Malik, betrays the Republic, and is the Sith Lord once more.
The End.
(KOTOR2 is different).
Thanks for this video, I didn't really get the story before this video, thanks again.
He is dumb
Oh. You combined Knights of the Old Republic, The Old Republic, and The Shadow of Reaven DLC
arcadeclouds reputation of being horribly innacurate is still strong
The Republic found the Sith (not the other way around) and the Sith fought against who they thought were invaders which led to the Great Hyperspace War. The Sith were defeated but Jedi who defied the Order and sought the power of the Dark side went and found refuge on the Sith homeworld Korriban. Skipping over the Jedi Civil War, we come to the Mandalorian War. Which started because the Sith and Dark Jedi who escaped to Dromund Kaas approached Mandalore the Ultimate with an offer of glory in fighting the Republic. This is where Revan comes in. With his best friend Alack and several other Jedi who disagreed with the Council's inaction, Revan joined the Republic and led a successful campaign against the Mandalorians. Eventually, Revan and Alack followed a retreating Mandalorian ship to Dromund Kaas where they met the Emperor, who converted them to the Dark side and told them of an ancient weapon they could use to wage war on the Republic. Revan and Alack returned to the Republic as heroes and began their search for the Star Forge while seeing how many soldiers they could recruit to their cause. Once they had the Star Forge and enough soldiers and former Jedi on their side, they waged war and assumed the titles Darth Revan and Darth Malak, with Revan as Malak's master as he was the strongest of the two. However, Dark side Revan saw the Sith Empire as a threat and felt the galaxy wasn't strong enough to withstand an assault from them so his campaign was meant to cull the weak Republic and strengthen the galaxy with him at it's head. Malak never understood this and so when Revan was captured by Bastilla, Malak fired on Revan's bridge hoping to eliminate the Jedi and his master. Assuming he killed them all, he continued the war but did so indiscriminately, simply killing all who opposed him. Revan is brought back to the Jedi by Bastilla, they track down the Star Forge, and defeat Malak. That's the KotOR 1 story. I'll admit I don't know too much about the backstory of Nihilus, Scion, and Traya. Although I do know that Nihilus is no longer a man but rather the manifestation of an insatiable hunger for power
Darth Marr did not take over the Sith Empire, he was the head of Imperial Defense and they ruled as a Dark Council with the other council members in the Emperor's absence.
The Dread Masters were ordered by The Emperor to attack everyone to help fuel The Emperor's transition back to his last remaining vessel body.(Valkorian)
Emperor Valkorian was not the "new form" of The Emperor, he had that form before the Sith Empire attacked. The Emperor's true name is Tanebrae, and his Sith name is Vitiate(Darth Vitiate), and he has experimented with life extension for thousands of years. One trick he came up with was to have multiple bodies which have been conditioned to be receptacles for his spirit, and Valkorion is one of them. In one of the chapters he explains that this process involves conditioning to "hollow out" a potential vessel body. Vitiate can travel from one body to the other at the cost of a lot of energy, any body not in use goes into a slumber. After the events of of Shadow of Revan he is down to his last body(Valkorian) He made the Sith Empire so he could make it attack the Republic as an experiment to see if he could siphon the life-force of those killed in the war to extend his life.
Right before his final death, The Emperor tries to hollow out the player to be his new body, but the player's spirit proves able to fend off the Emperor as he tries to hollow out the players mind-scape, and his spirit is killed.
here's a quick tip he missed,when the emperor dies his soul takes the body of his son because his son is killed that's why he takes over. if he was really good he would have destroyed the eternal empire.
This doesn't do KOTOR or SWTOR's story justice, or KOTOR 2 for that matter
You outright ignored the plot of kotor 2...just like bioware didxd
I can't believe you left out just how badass revan was and how revan was imprisoned for hundreds of years.
There is no way this is canon.....
The Outlander was never canonically a Jedi. In fact the entire SWTOR story has no official explanation because all the stories are based on the player's custom character and their choices
You skipped the mandalorian war which was a major plot point before the Jedi civil war
Video suggestion: Warhammer 40k in 3 minutes?
Gee, thanks for showing me E.T. getting brutally shocked to death after I thought he went home.
It might not be E.T. specifically. That said, his species are apparently natives to the Star Wars galaxy...
Thanks for the explaned
Hope you keep doing this 3 minutes games story because everything else on the channel isn't that fun. Good luck!
I like how all the characters flip everyone off at random. That joke isn't tiersome or over used at all.
This is the story for The Old Republic (the MMO), not Knights of the Old Republic for those that are confused.
This is the backstory of the expansion of SWTOR that I believe is called Knights of the Eternal Empire or Throne, something of that sort and the story of Revan expansion as well
The idea of bringing the Emperor to life just to kill him again reminds me of Starcraft 1. Originally, the Overmind was an intageable system on electro pulses between all Zerg (like all minds, but bigger) but for some unexplained reason he wanted to be physically real, so the Zerg created a body for the Overmind... which gets killed.
Nah I feel like the overmind was always a thing, it just eventually evolved into the megalithic thing it was as it began to have to control uncountable zerg hoards, even with the cerebri there to help
I'm playing the games for the first time and wish I could watch this because it's tough getting into the games now.
let's hope Netflix does a better job at telling the whole timeline with its series version
Did you notice that the SWTOR storyline got more ridiculous after the emperor initially dies. Well there's more storyline after this now and it hasn't improved.
If people say you missed so much information did you not miss the title it clearly says in 3 minutes which obviously means yes they're gonna miss things and not cover everything
Revan vs emperor. Revan vs jedi. Malak stays revan changed. Revan vs sith empire. Won but later kidnapped by emperor. Killed by emperor but Turns into 2 people. Emperor into non physicsl form. New leader of sith empire. Revan makes sith empire fight republic. Brings emeperor back using all the people. Light side form prevails snd light anf dark fuse. Emperor reborn and forms eternal empire
I'm sorry but the OUTLANDER in Knights of the Fallen Empire and Knights of the Eternal Throne expansions is not "an ambiguous Jedi". The game establishes that all eight original class characters - Hero of Tython, Barsen'thor, Meteor, Voidhound, Cipher Nine, Hunter, Empire's Wrath and Darth Nox - disappeared around the start of the Eternal Empire conquest, and any of them can become the Outlander,
But obviously, the "canon" Outlander is a Force User.
I think it is the Wrath, the Emperor is especially fond of and is the only one he promised to spare until last. Also he seems to be the best for the job and he just fits for the story especially since Marr will call a sith hero not a republic hero to help him against the emperor.
To be fair even Darth Imperius works (During the conversations on Marr's ship at the beginning, you are addressed as your proper Darth title, and the insta-60, neutral though he may be, is addressed as Darth Imperius.)
But the Wrath fits better with him being the enforcer of the sith empire also because the Wrath defeated the Emperor once before so he has experience.
To be honest, i felt like the Sith Warriors past makes the story seem better because of all the references.
*Mind controls Revan, Revan breaks his control decides to use sith tactics to prepare the republic
amazing
This video was my path to the Dark Side.
Malek and Bastila will remember that
Thank you so much!
I was like, "When did any of this shit happen in KOTOR?" Then I realized that they were talking about The Old Republic.
This video is awesome! I never heard the story of SWTOR so good explaind in such a short time! Will you also make a long (extended) version of SWTOR, where you explain all the details?
btw: you have got a subscriber more ^^
No Mandalorians, no Malak, no like.
4000 years? damn and you think they would have taken over the universe or something
This video is proof that you cannot condense all of the Knights of The Old Republic story in 3 minutes. And the fact that you didn't even mention one of the most impactful and brilliant characters in all of Star Wars - FUCKING KREIA - is just a slap in the face.
