Join us for Operation: Esperanza II: Showdown for Motown on Twitch this Saturday, July 20th! www.twitch.tv/templininstitute

What I remember about the rise of the empire is, how quiet it was..

A surprise to be sure but a welcome one

"I wont get political today, I promise" * Tree death sticks and a Templin Institute video later * *ADVANCE BROTHERS! TO VICTORY! FOR THE REPUBLIC!*

Massive shout out to George Lucas for showing us an actual Democracy in a sci fi setting.

"Senate. Republic. Civilization. Jedi. My grandmother used to tell me stories about the old days, a time of peace when the Jedi kept balance between the Guilds, Outer Worlds, Independent Systems, and Core. But that all changed when the Sith Lord attacked."

I love democracy... I love the Republic...

For over a Thousand Generations the Jedi Knights were the Guardians of Peace and Justice in the Old Republic.... Before the Dark Times..... Before the Empire

To quote an entirelly unrelated universe: "There are those who said this day would never come. What have they to say now?"

"...The death of Emperor Palpatine onboard the second Death Star..." _Laughs in Emperor_

*The New Republic:* * *_exists_* * *Disney:* I'm gonna end this governmental institution's whole career *Legends New Republic:* Bruh

"The Old Republic was the Republic of legend, greater than distance or time. No need to note where it was or whence it came, only to know that… it was the Republic." ―From the Journal of the Whills

So this is how the templin institute releases good videos. With thunderous applause.

-I am the Senate... ~Not yet... -It's treason, then...

"The Galactic Senate had been swept away" Palapatine : " Are you threatening me?"

I love how this episode takes the civilians look on the republic and not what the fans know to be fact. Great job on this video.

Loved the implied incorporation of the terms "fact" and "legend" as a nod to the canon and legends continuities of Star Wars. Speaking of which, here are some suggestions for future videos I'd like to see: - United Citizen Federation from Starship Troopers - Foxhound from Metal Gear Solid - CHOAM from Dune - Mandalorian Empire, Yuuzhan Vong Empire, Hapes Consortium and Chiss Ascendancy from Star Wars - Principality of Zeon from Mobile Suit Gundam - Ingsoc from 1984 - Holy Britanian Empire from Code Geass - Umbrella Corporation from Resident Evil - NERV from Neon Genesis Evangelion (It's on Netflix now!) - Ferengi Alliance, Cardassian Union and pretty much any other faction from Star Trek that hasn't been covered yet - Hellsing Organization from Hellsing Ultimate - Colonial Marines from Alien Versus Predator - BPRD from Hellboy - Band of the Hawk from Berserk - Autobots and Decepticons from Transformers - Draconis Combine and pretty much any of the Inner Sphere states from BattleTech - XCOM from XCOM - G.I. Joe and Cobra from G.I. Joe - Martian Congressional Republic from The Expanse - The Culture from The Culture - Speedwagon Foundation from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Here are some additional suggestions I -stole- borrowed from other users in the Templin comment sections : - Public Security Section 9 from Ghost in the Shell (courtesy of Louis Duarte) - Union of Britain (Kaiserreich) - European Federation (Tom Clancy's Endwar) - Eldia or Marley (Attack on Titan) - Union Aerospace Corporation (DOOM) - Da'at Yichud (Wolfenstein) - Science Patrol (Ultraman) - International Rescue (Thunderbirds) - Sirrus Cybernetics Corporation (Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy) - Holy Republic of Gilead (The Handmaid's Tale) - URM (Battle Angel Alita)

Your diction is perfect for documentary work. Professional, precise, and fully understandable.

So this is how freedom dies, with thunderous applause

I am simple man I see the Templin Institute upload a new video concerning the old republic *I WATCH*

Man, these Star Wars videos just sound so epic. You really make the modern mythology that is Star Wars come to life.

You are strong and wise, Templin Institute, and I am very proud of you.

Well done. I enjoyed the in-universe look at things. We as fans often take for granted of our omnipotence of all things in a fandom universe, from the outside looking in. Your analysis of the events of the prequels make it clear that the prequels are also a warning to America about the slippery slope into despotism (something I have thought aobut before but not as clear as this video lays it out to be), I have newfound appreciation for Lucas once again. Thank you.

Great Work! Could I suggest doing a video on the Ancient Sith Empire as well? Specifically the influence it had over characters like Marka Ragnos, Tulak Horde, Exar Kun, Revan, and Bane?

i'm the senate! Chancellor Palpatine for 2020!!! edit: thank god its not a joke like the Galatic Empire, still waiting for it to come.

My loyalty was to the Republic.

There are some that are still yet to be seen: Kreaisau Circle (Wolfenstein) Minutemen (Fallout 4) Jedi Order (Star Wars) Intergalactic Federation (Star Trek) Dedsec (Watch Dogs) Overwatch (Overwatch) Assassin Brotherhood (Assassin’s Creed)

Now, we have both Clone Wars belligerents explained by Templin. (They did the CIS on Star Wars Explained.)

I am just going to say it, this video is a big part of why I love this channel. This is perfect. I love how it is al told from an observers view, as if it was made in the star wars universe. I love how the betrayal of the jedi is shown, because that is what the people saw. You guys are amazing. This is my favorite video yet. Or maybe tied with the end of stellaris video. The one were the GTU said: NEVER!

Fun Fact: Bendu Symbol, on the thumbnail, was used by the Galactic Republic during the Clone Wars.

Again great job, but would love a Legends universe version of this video, just so much more great lore. Legends wise I think of the Old Republic as a cross between NATO and the UN. I find the many different sovereign planets, their militaries, empires, and the associated noble intrigue between the Ancient or Great Houses just much more interesting than what the new canon has thus far. Not to mention many of the Legends elements regarding the Clone Wars as well.

Long live the Republic! Long live Democracy!

Vote for Jar Jar Binks as your local representative in the Galactic Senate

the prequels aged like fine wine, from bad to amazing.

The politics was a bit boring to watch during the prequals, but so incredible important to the overall story-arc and worldbuilding. The new movies have practically zero world-building.

Man this channel is underrated. subbed yesterday loving all the content

I really like how in every video you touch on the themes that are most prominent in the source material of its subject. That is one of the things that, I believe, elevates Templin above other lore channels and into something unique.

I barely slept last night due to circumstances so i worked 10 hours with less than 2 hours of sleep but hey templin institute uploaded a new video so i guess I'll stay up for another hour.

"... and for the truth, the galaxy must rely on Legend[s!] as much as fact"... very, very slick! Excellent video; one of the best in the series yet!!

Ideas: Project Freelancer (Red vs Blue) Terran Federation / United Citizens Federation (Starship Troopers) Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defence (Hellboy) Innsmouth (Cthulhu Mythos) Da'at Yichud (Wolfenstein) Science Patrol (Ultraman)

"The death of Emperor Palpatine aboard the second Death Star..." Ya that aged poorly.

I'd actually be interested to see you cover the factions in the Gundam universe. (Mainly just because my Japanese friend is making me watch. I think the factions are actually fairly interesting)

"We dont have time for a committee princess!" "I AM NOT A COMMITTEE!"

Your announcement about charity coupled with music theme at the end gave me chills :) A Surprise to be sure but a welcome one. It warms my heart to see that people sharing their love for fantasy and legends can have a real impact on human lives :) May the force be with You.

The Templin Institute may make the Galactic Republic sound so great and as a beacon of hope and liberty, never forget, it dies with thunderous applause

Do one on the Galactic Empire!

Is the Galatic Republic where Harry Potter Took the one ring to be destroyed by sandworms?

You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain. So it was with the fall of the Old Republic, and the birth of the First Galactic Empire; a birth born in death and fire.

"not any one person but the galactic senate" Palpatine: I am the senate

Such an awesome conclusion! I like the approach you took too, going only with the information available in universe

Before I ever cheered on the UNSC, Starfleet and countless factions of MechWarriors, there was the Grand Army of the Republic, their clone soldiers and their brotherhood. For the Republic!

either blood angels, imperial fists or what id love to see most, a run down of the events that took place during the devastation of baal!!!

I was just watching things about Thrawn. And I got here an hour later.

"For the Republic!!!"

I just love the voice that carries us through this awesome made video.

It always scares me how accurate this is, dictators don’t take power by force anymore, they allow the desperate to gift them the power.

Revitalized Sith Empire please! *For the Emperor's sake, I beg you D:*

Oh my god you're such a good narrator you're voice is just perfect for the vibes.

man, these videos are so good i enjoy learning about random scfi universes as much as watching videos that about things i already know, just to see things i already know but in this high quality almost ASMR format

Love ur guys channel and u covered my favorite universe and u did a kick ass job

Nice. Love this video! Other organizations I would love to see. Halo: UNSC marine corps Star wars: the gungans

Favorite science fiction army of all time, the Grand Army of the Republic (GAR) and its clone troopers.

Just like the simulations

"Our time has come. For 300 years, we prepared. We grew stronger. While you rested in your cradle of power, believing your people were safe... and protected. You were trusted to lead the Republic-but you were deceived, as our powers of the dark side have blinded you. You assumed no force could challenge you...and now...finally...we have returned. [...] You were deceived. And now, your Republic shall fall." Please, PLEASE, do one on the events leading up to the sacking of Coruscant in the Old Republic era (maybe even with an emphasis on Malgus!). These stories, and your structure and approach to telling them, is just fantastic every single time.

That last line was poetic.

Kaminoans: "Ugh. This batch of clones is actually able to shoot 100% of targets and has thereby failed the Storm Trooper accuracy quota of 5%. What a shame. Dispose of them all."

Chancellor Palpatine: Julius Caesar Death Vader: Octavian (Augustus) Obi Wan: Cicero Count Dooku: Marc Antony General Grievous: Agrippa Mace Windu: Brutus Yoda: Cato

Captain Rex 501st Legion

Damn, that was one of your best ever! ^_^ Great job!

This might get me back into Star Wars

the republic is over 1000 years old "The Galactic Republic (25,053 BBY-19 BBY) was the ruling government of the galaxy that existed for more than twenty-five thousand years, until its reformation into the Galactic Empire in 19 BBY. Throughout its existence, the state was commonly known as the Republic."

This might be your best video yet, and that’s saying a lot

Finally... Thank you, The Templin Institute!

Thousands of senators, and none of them care about you. CIS forever.

Beyond brilliant!

I would love to see one about the United Federation of Planets to continue the Star Trek series and plus one about the UEO from Request.

I'm a simple man, i hear "Emperor", i praise. DO NOT SUFFER THE XENO

I feel like I’m sitting in a history class. I like it.

We need an episode of Ian. M. Bank's the culture, you can just make an unedited talk about it as there are no images.

Thank you for uploading more videos!!

Ok hear me out. I know a lot of youtubers already do this but don’t y’all think that a templin institute battle analysis series would be cool?

the republic falls the empire rises

Part of me now wants to see the EDF from Earth Defense Force series covered

Wonderfully done.

Chills. Just chill to beginning to end.

Fantastic video, really well done!

Star command from buzz light-year tv shows Storybrooke from once upon a time The slayer from Buffy the vampire slayer

I would like to see a video on the following factions from Star Wars: - the Yuuzhan Vong - the Hapes Consortium

The Alessian Empire (the elder scrolls) next, yes?

For the Republic!

I hated that the jedi were given command positions even Padawans... They barely had military experience!! The empire at least didn't had this problem 😎

FOR THE REPUBLIC!

“A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one!”

I would love to see an in-depth contrast between the Brotherhood of NOD and the GDI from Command & Conquer.

One of the best videos you put out

Wait a sec think y'all have some facts wrong Tarsus Vallorum was the 345th Chancellor and the Republic was founded in 25,000BBY LONG BEFORE the Sith order was established in 20,000BBY that's the official story According to Pablo Hildago the Keeper of the Disney Canon Bible.

i would like to see Free Planets Alliance or Galactic Empire from Legend of the Galactic Heroes UEF, Cybran and Aeon from Supreme Commander

The final words in this video say a lot, nothing has been learned from the history of the galaxy in these movies. The new republic failed cause it tried to be the republic again, the first order will fail cause they are trying to be the empire again. Even Kylo and his views on killing the past aren’t enough, imitating the past or destroying it won’t do, learning from it will.

"I love democracy. And I love the Republic." -Chancellor Palpatine

Valorum should never have stepped down. He should have demanded the Senate "Kneel before Zod!" and named *himself* Emperor.
