@@mysticalsnail7611 The trailers or the sequels?

@@mysticalsnail7611 definitely disagree if you're talking about the trailers. In just, what, like 5 minutes? You see these two boys grow from being curiously innocent, and fiercely loyal to each other, to being badass brothers crusading on their evil fathers behalf, and seeing them both (one more so than the other) growing resentful against their father barely acknowledging anything that they do until one finally snaps and ends up killing his brother out of blind rage. That's great character development in 5 minutes.

Ah! So that’s what it’s called

@@Grid433 So, I know its late. this was the full explination of the ability and thanks Earl for the basis :) . The reason and "How Of" that Satele was able to use her hand against Malgus' Lightsaber was an ancient force ability called Tutaminis. Essentially this allowed Jedi OR Sith to absorb different levels of physical energy INTO their body without damage. How much energy depended on the individual and their training, but yes. Things such as Blaster Bolts, Force Lightning and yes even the energy of a lightsaber could be absorbed straight into the body instead of casing damage.

@@admiral-shepard6161 it DID couse damage to the body id not donne propperly thou. Tuetemenis dispersed the energy from one state into the body, but while in the body, you could overload yourself and destroy yourself if you bite off more then you can chew, so most is used to difuse, and then harnes and redirect

Vader demonstrated the ability in Cloud City when he caught Han's blaster bolt in his hand.

Tutaminis*

AN interesting thing as well...IF you consider the d20 star wars rpg worthy, cortosis armor is lightsaber resistant. If the Tutaminis ability seems out there (lightsaber wise it does to me), a cortosis weave gauntlet could have this effect as well.

Also, Vader used it to absorb the blaster fire from Han on Cloud City.

Lightning is an advanced application, especially with the caliber of lightning sidious can produce. More basic applications include blaster deflection, fire absorption/redirection, and being able to block metal bullets. However, it is an advanced ability regardless. Lightsabers are the most advanced application, we’ve seen obi wan use it against magna guards staffs, but yeah basically lightning is pretty advanced and lightsabers are the most advanced.

Malgus's surprise is my favorite part. The fact that they animated his shock is great.

not the biggest fan of the MMO art style lacks that retro look and goes for more modern sci fi elements some armours almost have that Destiny look (Eternal Empire) come off as more advanced in tech yet ancient in design even through its set 4000 years in the past. Love the Kotor art style that kept built off the retro look of Star Wars but give it a new look for the factions and people we all know and love like the Mandalorian the one in the trailers armour design is very modern in its design language compared to that of the Neo crusaders from Kotor or The Modern Mandalorian. Maybe its explained by a dark age of tech but I always found the MMO to feel out of place between Kotor and the Prequals like how Halo went from Halo 3 to Halo 4 compete art design change.

@@joaoluis2318 I don't know why everybody says that about literally every game that has both male and female protagonists. They said that about AC Valhalla, they said that about Cyberpunk 2077, they said that about Mass effect, but I pretty much always disagree. I mean...in swtor, sure you got Jennifer Hale voicing female trooper, but you got Nolan North voicing the male Consular, and the voice actor for Solid Snake voicing Jedi Knight, so I definitely wouldn't say the female voices are the only good voices in the game.

Yea why was the dialogue changed?

Right??? Oh my God! I'm so glad, that others think so too xD everytime I see someone watching these cinematics, I always fear the 2nd and 3rd cinematic dialogues... And EVERY TIME... It's these "fake", non-original dialogues... :/ the originals were sssso good :3

@@InsertNameHereJ it was done to fit the overall story. but the original is soo much better

The following is getting into SPOILER territory so if you don't want to spoil yourself the story of a few of the biggest plot points of the base game better not read on... . . . . . 4th - Sacrifice: The one that kicks of Knights of the Fallen Empire expansion. After learning that the Emperor (who gets "killed" by the player Jedi Knight in the JK class storyline) is not only still alive but also happily draining an entire planet of it's life-force the Empire and the Republic both try to find him. Turns out Darth Vitiate, our glorious Emperor, got bored/disappointed by his current Empire and left his pet-project to die after literally hundreds of years of shaping it from the shadows to take over another empire, again from the shadows. But this time a little bit more openly. The old man in the cinematic is Vitiate, in the guide of Emperor Valkorion, the twins are his sons who he had with the woman of the following trailer. Long story short, he basically elevated a small, unknown empire into a powerhouse thanks to his powers, experience and a conviniently obtained, automated, super-fleet. His sons try, in vain, to gain his respect or rather his attention, as he shuns them both from the start. Basically he has a force thing experiment going and he wants only one son alive to eventually possess his body... iirc. Anyway, that is why he only ever acknowledges Arcann after he killed his own brother Thexan in his dark-side rage. 5th - Betrayal: Senya, Emperor Valkorion's wife, tries desperately not to loose her daughter Vaylin to her estranged hubby's machinations. That Vaylin is a prodigy with the force of course didn't help since our boi Vitiate wants to diddle with her force powers too. Both the 4th and 5th cutscene play basically BEFORE the expansion start chronologically. If you have not tried SWTOR yet and you like RPGs I HIGHLY reccommend it if only for playing the class stories, which are all varying levels of excellent. Fully voiced, RPG that happens to have multiplayer if you choose. But SWTOR can be played alone pretty much for just the story. Of course this MMO has way more than just that to offer but I would suggest to check out Swotorista's SWTOR The Academy videos about more details about the game itself since she does an excellent job of covering the game for years now. Basically if you have a question about the game, she likely has already made 1-4 videos about it.

Some of the classes have a somewhat decent story and the beginning of Knights of the Fallen Empire was probably the best segment they ever did. But it was never fun. I would know, I got my pvp rank 100 within 6 months of release so I was pretty dedicated. Especially since my server was empty, at the end you had to wait 30 minutes to enter a match. Every time. I had hopes for Legacy of the Sith but it ended up even worse than the Rise of the Hutt Cartel. It's basically a solo game these days and it's worse than ever unfortunately.

Anakins eyes were, just like every sith, yellow

almost correct! The twins didn't even know about light and dark, they drew their strength from another place in the Force, sort of in the middle. They believe in a higher purpose, which is to serve Zakuul and its Eternal Emperor (whose true identity the twins don't even know) and that's where their strength comes from (same applies for the Knights of Zakuul). When Arcann goes mad (the white one) it's not because he was consumed by darkness, but by *ambition* (listen carefully to the voice-over...), and that's exactly what the Emperor wanted: that one of the two brothers eventually would kill the other in his pursuit of greatness.

Arcann's eyes going back to normal the moment he realises what he did to his brother was a nice touch.

It was never canon. There was no such thing as canon vs non-canon before the Disney era. There was general "canonness", some things being "more definitively canon" than others. A commonly accepted model was from the Holocron Continuity Database. "The Holocron's database included a field for a single letter (G, T, C, S, N or D) representing the level of canonicity of that element; these letters were since informally applied to the levels of canon themselves: G-canon, T-canon, C-canon, S-canon, N-canon and D-canon." starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Canon

@@RobertH3 nah

@@freddyking4202 Excellent application of evidence and reason there. I counter with a "yeah-huh", and in anticipation of your "nuh uh!" here is another "yeah huh!".

@@RobertH3 thank you, very informative.

not canon after disney entered SW.

There are many, many telltale signs that Jon Favreau LOVES and plays this game - and of course its illustrious predecessors, Knights of the Old Republic I & II. For instance the shape of space stations - like a spinning top - or the pincer shape of the imperial stardestroyers with a hangar in the middle, are something we got to see in The Mandalorian, but that got established in this game a decade ago.

They plan to do a lot of more movies and series, saw an entire list of them. Can't remember what they where all about, but have a loose memory of them actually making a movie or series, taking place in the old republic.

KOTOR 2 also was just recently ported to mobile, and the developer of the Restored Content Mod has confirmed it still works.

"unfortunately, the game does play like the trailers" - what does that even mean? Are you referring to all the cutscenes where your toon actually speaks and you're immersed in the story? How is that a bad thing? Being so involved in the story is an awesome thing, which makes me love swtor. I play wow but I cannot say I love it, due to its disconnect from its own story within the game itself. Too much of it is 'off screen', which is why swtor is the superior game. It should never be like wow, with hardly any cutscenes, where, if you're 'lucky', your toon sits still like a doll, not adding anything to the story whatsoever, effectively being decoration.

not really, they are more on a "gray" side of things. They draw their strength from the Force believing in a higher purpose, which is Zakuul and its Eternal Emperor in their case (that stands above everyone), while Sith draw their strength from hate and fear while the Jedi from peace of mind and balance, disconnecting from the pleasures of life. That's why they got almost annihilated by the twins, they didn't know how to counter their prowess with the Force

They don't follow the dark side for the sake of the dark side, but they are clearly bloodthirsty, yellow eye force users.

@@JohnDoe-dj3lw Yeah, I always felt that Thexan wasn't really dark and Arcann just followed the ways of the dark side because of how Valkorion acted

yeah, i can't stand the new dialogue. it just isn't the same.

The original dialog is far superior. No idea what they were thinking. Guess making changes to originals for the worse is nothing new in Star Wars.

@@pauls9985 The new dialogue was recorded as a means of making the player feel as if they were being talked to directly instead of as a voice over narration. Since the 2nd & 3rd trailers play before you start playing those particular factions. They are by no means better, but that’s the reason, as I too prefer the original voice over.

Yeah they may not be in 4K (though they could be, I haven't looked for them) but the original dialog really is better.

I've always thought it was a plothole. Why would you train for 1000 years with swords when you never meet any foe with swords. Makes no sense. But looks dope. Sure they could have learned to deflect blaster bolts. But fencing with another lightsaber ? Before the reveal of Darth Maul, there's simply no point in it.

@@luketimewalker That's honestly why so many Jedi are only average duelist, around the time of TPM and AOTC, and how much better they got through the Clone Wars and into ROTS.

@@luketimewalker Both Legends Canon and Disney canon have explained that. Lightsaber Combat became basically an exercise, symbol and form of meditation in the later years. Until Dooku. Dooku took saber combat very seriously and trained as if he were going to use it in fights which made him the best duelist in the Jedi and irked Yoda. Very convenient that it was His former apprentice and his apprentice that faced the Sith when they reveled themselves.
