It's because Disney avoids The Old Republic that it's still brilliant, imo. I'd rather them crap in their own 'canon' timelines so this one can remain pure.

Shut up bro! do you really want them to gut the old republic aswell and then piss all over it's mangled corpse? Haven't we endured enough casualties? Anikan and Luke have already been destroyed Boba Fett is wounded and there going after Obi Wan next.

Mayne they are planning a big thing on it like a movie and a Serie, and don't forget the Kotor remake...

@@wingsoffreedom3589 I mean Disney has the ability to produce great stories assuming the right people are in charge of it. Regardless of what you think of the sequel trilogy, not all of Disney Star Wars has been bad. I’d prefer to see more content from this era, instead of them leaving it alone and pretending it doesn’t exist.

@@N7_CommanderShepard then you are lost! Being capable does not change the fact they have yet to make a single good star wars film the closest was rogue one and that's it.

Facts

@@jonas7483 Back then fanboys were saying « prequels » instead of « sequels » You can totally say that you had a better time watching a cinematic trailer, but you just cannot compare full movies and some promotional cutscenes, as great as they are…

Yeah I feel like most Sith misinterperet their own code. It's about freedom through strength and yet most Sith are as much slaves to the Force as Jedi are.

Its evil 101, kinda like how they say the devil tells 99% of the truth and 1% lie but that 1% will determine your actions, basically the most important part...he tells her the sith and jedi are both incredibly flawed edging her to "break free" of supposedly both but kills her master making her guilty and furious thus pushing her to ignore her jedi ways bringing her closer to the darkside

The force shall free me

@@ridgefrost exactly the 4 phases of the fall in the dark side of the force this is only the beginning and the problem is her own free will choice !!

@@SuccubiSage Yuthura Ban already explained the code in KOTOR, they do NOT misinterpret their own code: Peace is a lie, there is only Passion. Through Passion, I gain Strength. Through Strength, I gain Power. Through Power, I gain Victory. Through Victory, my chains are Broken. The Force shall free me. Simple words - yet easily misunderstood. The Jedi would have you believe that peace is a desirable goal; that peace of the spirit is the way the Force is mastered, that a lack of conflict betters man. We know different. It is our Passion, our Hate and our Desire that fuels the Force. It is conflict that improves the lot of civilization and single being both. Conflict forces one to better oneself. It forces change, adaption, evolution or death. These are not our laws, but the universe's. Without conflict, you have only stagnation. What fuels your power with the Force but Passion? The stronger darker emotions, anger, hatred, fear - these Passions empower us. Love is more dangerous than all those things; love leads to anger and hatred more often than not, but it also leads to mercy which is far worse... that however, is a lesson for another time. What keeps even the most rudimentary creature alive? Fear to run. Anger to fight. Without it, a creature would most surely die. We are far more than them perhaps, but in some ways we are little different. To think us creatures beyond the need of simple Passions is a delusion. The Force gives us all power, even the Jedi. It is our mastery of our Passion that gives us the strength they lack. It is our goal to be stronger, to achieve our potential and not rest upon our laurels - we are the seekers, not the shepherds. The stronger you become in the Force, the more power you will achieve, but always must you fight for your power. Without strife, your victory has no meaning. Without strife, you do not advance. Without strife, there is only stagnation. How many sorts of victories can you imagine? Peaceful victory, victory by sacrifice, a truce, an achievement. Unless the victory is achieved by demonstrating that your power is superior, it is only an illusion, temporary at best. We seek more. The chains represent our restrictions - both those placed upon us and those we place upon ourselves. Ultimately, the goal of any Sith is to free herself from such restrictions. In a way it is so we may do whatever we wish, but it is much more than that; one who has freed themselves from all restrictions has reached perfection, their potential fulfilled - perfect strength, perfect power, perfect destiny. Imagine it. That is our ideal at any rate. It is said in Sith legend that the Sith'ari, the perfect being, will one day lead us, but perhaps that is just a legend. I wonder what that being would be like. The legends say the Sith'ari will destroy us and make us stronger than ever, but perhaps that is just a legend. Perfection is a goal, I think, rather than a state of being. The Jedi would argue that, no doubt. The Force is our servant and our master, our teacher and our companion, a weapon and a tool; know it and you know the universe, master it and you master the universe, strive for perfection and the Force shall reward you. The Force is strong with you, master it and it will serve you well.

More like "Long have we waited" than a surprise tbh

@@viralpanda5590 it was worth the wait👍😁

I was at the Premiere Stream n the Chat Lost there stuff

Expected a Kenobi trailer, but this will suffice lol

@@marisri8816 it was, just a shame the expansion wasn't oh and don't get me started on the new UI holy Jesus makes my eyes bleed

He really is, I can't help but compare him as the "Vader of Old Republic Era"

@@randomwatcher3337 With a bit of Darth Psion. More than a few times in Dark Horse comics and the current Marvel/Disney ear comics it was only by Vader's pure anger against his own failures and self weakness that enable him to get through the story with a damage life support system and mentally/force power dead droid limbs through combat.

Ngl before I knew anything about this game I would see clips and just thought Malgus was a weird alternate Vader

The outlander is stronger than malgus now tho

@@madarauchiha6492 Of course, it's the player character. They will defeat anyone because that's what the plot demands.

Well we haven't seen the entirety of the high Republic so it's kind of unfair to judge it just yet.

Not just over decades, over millennia. The Old Republic and it's conflict with the Sith Empire in it's various forms lasted a *long* time.

No he does not, why would you punish such a great character with a TV show for those traitors at Disney to water down and bastardize? Let's pray they don't lay their disgusting hands on Revan either.

@@wingsoffreedom3589 I think a show in the spirit of these trailers, following their own canon and telling an isolated story, could be really cool.

Marchion Ro is a compelling villain in the High Republic in my opinion, the Drengir were very meh for sure though, least up till Fallen star where I'm at. Hoping for a fallen Jedi at some point, maybe the order covers it up so it's consistent with canon

I think that would take too much time to make and would be very expensive, but that’s just my opinion

Swtor and ESO have the best trailers

Hell yeah ive been saying that for the longest cuz i feel these are better than most they've recently put out. And they got the money for it

Honestly live action might be cheaper than that or probably is

Disney will ruin it with the "message"

Lol

😂😂

Some are making a fan made series on kotor look it up

@@Andalaeknir86 is it the guy using unreal engine?

This level of animation is extremely expensive. This is probably much more expensive than live action.

A live-action is impossible since Darth Mickey replaced the Old Republic with the "High Republic".

No. They'd ruin it.

Jedi back then were Cutthroats

Malgus even leave the scene the same way lol

Yessss

Yeah. They're both about deception, but this one is about the deception of the Jedi instead of the Sith. Pretty neat that they connected them in that way.

The people running this and the game are just brilliant when it comes to story telling.

Which is itself the ‘Anakin’s dark deeds’ track from Revenge of the Sith

Yup that flashed into my mind when i saw the scene forcing him to use the dark side don't ever trust a sith !!!

Agreed!

I was thinking the same thing Love The Exar Kun Wars story

I wouldn't be surprised to find this Padawan as a boss at some point. A Sith.

@@FireLordJohn3191 Agreed. Im honestly expecting for her to become Malgus' new apprentice.

People would love to make these bu they are too expensive to produce and get a return back. Not to mention this one trailer could very well have take. Over a year to maybe two to produce.

It costs $10k a second to make a trailer of this quality. 6 and a half minute trailer costs $3.6 million. Do one 24 min episode and it's $14.4 million. One Clone Wars episode (one of the more expensive cartoons to make) costs $1million. Making 1 24 minute episode of this quality and you're talking about $14million. It can be made, but you'd lose way more money than you'd get back. These cinematics are mainly for advertising purposes and for fans to purchase the game.

@@Freewarrior2 yet they can make full feature length films of this quality, but somehow make a profit?

@@DarkSpyro707 I mentioned in my comment that they can be made, it just takes a far larger time commitment to create something like that. Yeah there a few full length films out there like that, but could take 2-3 times as long to make versus what we see with Clone Wars. The production budget for the Clone Wars movie was $8.5 million. The budget of a full length theatrical version with these cinematics would arguably run 3 times that of Clone Wars. I would say that Rebels and Resistance ran far less than Clone Wars. The budget for the cinematics of something like what we see here is similar to Mandalorian and Book of Boba Fett, but because it's live action, it doesn't take as long as a purely CGI piece to make. It all comes down to time more than anything else. I think in the coming years you could see something like this, but it'll ultimately come down to the hours you put in to produce something like this. Right now 5-10 minutes are going to be the length of these pieces of work until it can be done perfectly in a short amount of time.

And they'd kill it and piss all over it's corpse. Leave the good stuff alone!

why do you have to compare? Why can’t you just enjoy without comparing?

@@masterofthechimichangas1306 nope, not really. Cause people would rather bitch about something that they don’t like versus enjoying what they do like. Gotta love that gatekeeping vibe 🙄

​@@masterofthechimichangas1306 To vent some frustration, to laugh a little, to find any positive side to the woke garbage that's being pumped out by the multi-billion dollar studios these days. Because bad example is the only use for those movies, therefore they are being used as such. But you are right, it would be preferable to not compare and just to forget there was an attempt for sequel trilogy.

@@Rastislav000 “Woke” hmm. I’ll forget you said that for sanity’s sake but come on now. We don’t have to forget the movies, it’s just toxic to compare everything to them even if they’re unrelated. It also shows a high level of immaturity and unoriginality.

​@@masterofthechimichangas1306 Your point would be valid if the movies were bad just by accident. Some miscalculation, miscommunication, lack of funding, ... Sequels had none of that. They've deliberately created those movies to be a garbage. All the toxicity they'll get is justified by their own doing. And you know what's immature? To throw an emotional tantrum. To yell, scream and destroy until one is acknowledged. What's not immature is to make a joke online or to have a conversation about that.

Ikr I play it too, it’s so fricking good, I don’t understand why someone dismiss the game just because the combat isn’t the greatest

Play it too and love, but its lame that they took so long for the new update just to end the story in 3h. Doesn’t say it’s a bad update, just to short for that amount of time they took

10+ years and still going

@@xillex819 The team is too small unfortunately. Thanks to EA.

@@Mediados yeah thats what i thought after i played the update. Sad to see this, i just hope the next update doesnt take so long and is a bit bigger, because Legacy of the Sith and the Cliffhanger in Onslaught hyped the update like a big thing. But like i said its a good update just a bit disappointing short

It's possible Malgus was not trying very hard and was more focused on corrupting her than killing or injuring her.

But we didn't see any training with her. How is she able to fight against Malgus that long? What a Mary Sue.

@@RamielDerLinke she lives in an era where Jedi where wiped out and they constantly have wars with armies of Jedi and sith so that’s why she’s so strong she come from an era of warriors

@@flamebreaker7318 Funny thing is that I'm not actually criticizing her for being a Mary Sue. I was just doing the exact same thing that people did for the last few years.

@@shinrapresident7010 "She went from a literal nobody straight to skilled with the force and lightsabers" This comment alone shows that you've not understood the films and that you clearly misunderstood how the force works. The force isn't a superpower that you have to learn. When you believe in it and in yourself, you can be very strong with it. That's literally what Luke learns from Yoda in episode 5. It doesn't matter if Rey lifts a piece of paper or a bunch of huge rocks with the force. If she believes in herself, she can do it. Luke could have lifted the X-Wing if he believed in it. But he gave up and thought that it's impossible. "That is why you fail". And she wasn't really a skilled lightsaber duelist. In episode 7 she used it very clumsy and was just defending herself against Kylo's attacks, who wasn't actively trying to murder her. He saw that she's strong with the force and wanted her to join him. Plus he was wounded and heavily conflicted. In episode 8 Snoke toys with her. And without Kylo's help she would have instantly died against the Praetorians and before that of course to Snoke. She didn't stood a chance against him. And in episode 9 we even see her pretty much loosing against Kylo in the fight. The only reason why she survived there and managed to stab him, was because Leia helped her. So without the help of the rest of the Skywalker family throughout this trilogy, she would have died multiple times. And why are people saying that she's instantly a skilled duelist but then they always criticize the bad fighting and the way she just swings it around? What is it now? Is she skilled or a beginner? Can't be both.

you dont understand Vader then because Sidious gave him one of the things he wanted most: a father

@@brandonwilliams3777 what? No, what I meant is that if only Vader haven't gotten over Padme's death, obsessed in Obi-Wan and killing Jedi, and focused in learning more about the Sith better than Sidious. He would've been a better and more powerful version of Malgus. And no, Anakin didn't even wanted a father and he never needed one in the first place. He just wanted to live a family life with Padme and be happy.

If you side with the Republic during Iokath, Acina dies, and Darth Vowrawn becomes the new Sithh Emperor.

I mean the ot and the prequels were all pretty good... But this is definetly better than the entire sequel trilogy tho. As someone who grew up watching prequels in the cinema, i'd say they're better than the old republic games, but i definetly undersand where you're comming from.

Freezing people in carbonite as in this legends story and The Mandalorian to a point sort of bugs me. When Han is frozen in Empire Lando states that it isn’t used for this purpose and may kill him so it wasn’t a thing really. A small thing I know but just sort of nags at me 🤷‍♂️

@@chrisedwards6226 I feel like everyone who has been frozen in carb were expendable to the ones freezing them. Like they would've lose sleep if it caused death.

@@chrisedwards6226 Lando was referring to the facility itself, not the process. Vader referred to it as “crude” but adequate enough to deliver Luke to the Emperor. Lando was mainly concerned since they’ve never built it to freeze people.

Hollywood didn't have any overall say in this that's why😂

It's the old guard keeping this alive pray the Disney iquisitors don't go after the old republic aswell.

@@wingsoffreedom3589 this man gets it.

It’s easier to make a good short animation than to make a good trilogy

@@Silver4Hire Sure, but do you think that the people behind the sequels would be capable of producing such a phenomenal short film? I guess not, and that‘s the point to me

Well, it's part of Legends, SWTOR is not really it's own canon.

Swtor is the last Living remnant of the old canon before disney took over. A remnant we should treasure.

Vader in Legends did have Malgus' journal from around the last campaigns of the Great Galactic War. They were unfinished but it just described battle philosophy and war strategy.

No. they'd ruin it like they do every thing else

Agreed.

He said both jedi and sith do the same thing. Malgus is actually fighting both sides

Malgus is a third party here, as is clearly represented in how he stabs a Sith in the back. While he seems to still follow the Sith Code with all his talk about breaking free from cages, he does not support the Order, or the Empire, as a whole. In this he seems to be trying to allow more than just "Jedi" or "Sith" to have control of the secrets of the force, which is something I definitely approve of. He's been trying to change the way the Empire and Sith do things for *years*. There was a whole bit on Ilum at the end of the base game where he tried to form his own Empire that allowed aliens to be part of it without discrimination. I wanted to join him then, and I want to even more now.

@@SuccubiSage Malgus has broken free , he can unlock the jedi holocron. This means he can use both sides of the force. He has reached the conclusion of the code.

And Jedi were, well idiots....Forcing children to stifle emotions, instead of teaching them to understand emotions properly and use them, but not to be controlled by them...It's a recipy for disaster and quite frankly abuse....Then they make surprise faces when Jedi fall to the Dark Side, cause they haven't been taught how to handle emotions.... Both Sith and Jedi are extremists honestly...

Well, it is part of Legends. Since it's set in the Old Republic era though, it feels detached, but Malgus is mentioned by Palpatine and Vader.

Because it is, there is plenty of Force philosophies that contradict the canon, for example

Those 3 movies of Disney were propaganda and bad fan fiction....NOT CANON

I really doubt Disney would do him Justice after seeing what they did to Boba and other characters.

Disney would screw him up

He's too dark for Disney.

I think it's because Malgus's wife was a Twi'lek, yet he killed her because he needed to fully engulf himself in the dark side. Breaking attachments makes Sith stronger. He won't kill Twi'leks now because he feels like he wants to make up for his past actions.

@@branholo5814 he killed her because he loved her and it held him back from the dark side I'm pretty sure his his last known appearance was he was frozen in Carbonite. Makes me ask the question can you die in Carbonite or are you just frozen and can be revived because if that's the case the ability to bring him back opens up so much possibilities

@@XxDarkoviathxX the devlopers confirmed that malgus in carbonite is not official as they didnt actually put it in, last we saw of malgus was him being defeated in the star forge throne room and being force pushed down a shaft, and wasnt seen again until this trailer, this trailer officially in the story takes place years after any of the expansions in the game and the cold war has ended and conflict has started again

Because Disney can't admit they were wrong and that no one wanted the High Republic but the Old Republic why do you think there still allowing it to continue cause without that they have nothing. The sequels are dead the High Republic is on life support the only thing carrying them besides the Mandalorian is this game.

@@solisprime2669 Wha- how is SWTOR carrying Star Wars? Like, I'm fairly certain SWGOH makes more money and has a larger player base. Also they seem committed to at least getting through phase 2 of THR (at least the writers do), despite the less than groundbreaking sales.

@@ronramen5827 first your comparing a PC game to a phone game it would be like comparing a fps to an rpg the two are different. Also it would make sense swgoh would make more money and have a bigger player base since it's sole purpose is to generate money and can be easily played on your phone taking no more then a couple of minutes while swtor takes a computer and longer time to play depending on what your playing. But think when Disney bought Lucas they canceled a lot of games under development like 1313 but kept swtor still active only saying it was no longer canon meaning it still makes money for Disney which is what they really care about. Also sure the writers for the HR may want to continue and support the series that's because it's there job but I don't see Disney promoting it or any starwars KZfaqrs. Hell Disney is promoting almost every other era but the sequels and HR because these two have failed because the majority of the fans didn't like or don't like it. Sure there are it's fans but not enough eventually Disney will sweep the HR under the bus like they've done with the sequels.
