The trailer team: For 10 years, we prepared. We grew stronger.

These are not trailers, they're full blown star wars short movies.

Gives me chills every time, to watch Malgus walk away from the ruined temple while putting up his hood.

1:42 Honestly my favourite part of that moment is that Every. Single. Sith. Felt the need to do a cool pose or motion when they ignited the saber, no two of which are exactly alike. one goes for the dramatic "turn to face the camera", one goes for the big "flash it past my face as it turns on", one goes for the "straight into a combat stance" while another does the "already IN a stance, and remain still while igniting", the two on the wings, (Who clearly know the value of symmetry) both do the "ignite while crouched and rise in unison." And the best of all, that one Sith Trooper on the left hand side just standing there looking around like "Soooo did you guys rehearse this as a group, or individually in front of your bedroom mirrors?" Honestly Sith will always beat Jedi by sheer force of "Extra". Ironic they're on the Darkside when they live for the spotlight.

Man those trailers will not get old anytime soon. If only Bioware could make a movie series like this about events in SWTOR ..... one can dream.

I only just realized Malgus is actually talking to him at 3:01 and not just a voice over. Damn that's cool.

here is what I truly love about these. break down the way they are fighting. they aren't doing like what they are doing in the movies and aim for the lightsabers. they actually aim for body parts, requiring them to either dodge or block the strike. THAT is what I love. they are actually fighting the way you realistically fight, which is you aim for the goddamn body, not the weapon.

I swear, seeing Coruscant & the Prequel Era Jedi Temple, normally so peaceful & symbolic of the Order, being consumed by fire & destruction at the hands of the Sith/Imperial Navy, it’s just mesmerizing simply by witnessing it. Like we never thought such a scene could be possible, even with Revenge of the Sith & 2003’s “Star Wars: Clone Wars” series bringing war to the planet, yet here it is in full glory. Hell of a first impression by the old Swtor team back then.

It's some kind of astonishing that this old 4 to 5 minute trailers show us a clearer and more concludend storyline than the Sequel-Trilogy.

Still literally one of the best pieces of Star Wars content ever created! SWTOR has been such an important part of my teenage years and now it's 10 years old. Can't wait for the new expansion!

1:38 - 1:54 always brings chills to me. It looks so much better than the movies. The music and a bunch of Sith in a tight area ignighting their menacing red lightsabers all at once... that is fking cool

2:20 God this droid...he has seen every major event during that time hasn't he?

Beauuuttiful. So crisp!

“You were deceived. And now, your Republic shall fall.”

The difference between the elegant movements of the Jedi and the shear force of the sith is so cool to watch. You don’t really see this much of a difference in technique in the movies

Fingers crossed they're doing all the cinematics this way as a countdown for a brand new cinematic for Legacy of the Sith... 🤞

This never gets old 😍😍 And now in 4k ULTRA HD!!!

Masterpiece. Imagine a movie/series about swtor

3:07 Imagine seeing your home destroyed and invated in your last moments. That's too hard.

2:01 that music when Grievous and Kenobi are going down the hill on Utapau in ROTS will always be one of my favorite SW tracks. It's just so star wars, the trumpets, wind instruments,etc. Even if it's only like 15 seconds lol

This looks so good in 4K man. Imagine if the whole game looked like this though...

These cinematics are some of the best Star Wars content out there.

I love how dedicated the animation team were for these trailers because the animation for 2010 is beyond outstanding for its time.

1:52 I’ll never forget the look on my friend’s faces when I showed them this trailer for an MMO.

Thank you all at Bioware for keeping this game up and alive. It’s not easy, especially with a lower budget, smaller team, and during the pandemic, but ya’ll got this!

In my opinion swtor has to be included in the best Star Wars games of all time it captures what I love about the series better than any other Star Wars game since kotor 1 & 2

Video quality so crisp, you can actually see one of the sith warriors at 1:45 doing the iconic Obi-Wan fighting stance to the right

10 years. Wow. Time sure does fly. I remember being in one of SWTOR's beta weekends before launch and playing for probably 20 hours in those couple days. I got to Taris and that was back when leveling was way slower.

I remember when I first saw this trailer, I thought Malgus was Darth Vader, that thought started a journey I’ve been on since the game was announced. It’s near and dear to my heart and has given me so many memories, me worries for the expansion aside, I’m happy to be a part of this community and I hope that I still have many more memories to experience with the game moving forward. Thank you community and dev team members both past and present.

I remember watching this for the very first time *10 Years ago* and being unable to control my emotions. And now a *decade* later, I still play this game.

See this disney? You'll never be as good as this.

I had to use Upscale AI to have this yet now you just gave it away 😂 awesome none the less 👌

One of the best game trailers I've ever seen period

I wish the people behind these trailers would make a movie. I'd pay to see that.

Reminds me of the old Star Wars. When Lightsaber combat was an art and when Jedi and Sith were super soldiers with a sword and cool powers. Great work.

When a trailer from 2009 is better than all sequels

3:18 *Me walking out of the gym*

This definitely makes me feel nostalgic. I wish we could cycle through and choose from previous load screens and intro music. I'd love to use the original load screen and music occasionally.

All these years later, and these trailers are still possibly my favorite depictions of Star Wars to ever come out.

Even after more than a decade since its release, this is still my #1 favorite out of all the SWTOR cinematic trailers.

Shit never gets old.. best cinematic’s for any game ever!!!!!

Palpatine: *Spends decades in order to destroy the Jedi in a very risky and slow way* Malgus: "LET'S END THIS SH*T QUICKLY" *Crashes ships full of Sith into the Jedi Temple*

i didnt notice it until now but at 2:05 the sith that kicked the dude also did a surprise thrust on his landing. pretty cool

If anybody still reads books, there’s a book titled Deceived that has been published about this very cinematic the events before and after. The details were so good it made me rewatch this before finishing it.

"You assumed no force could challenge you... and now, finally, we have 4K ULTRA HD!"

2:37 this was just LIT

The guys behind these need to make full movies. I’ve watched these over and over. These cinematic trailers are amazing.

The era that rivaled the Original Trilogy, in the brilliance of 4K!

I remember some people were upset that the game did not look like the trailers LOL. I guess they did not understand the concept of "cinematic trailers". Happy 10 years SWTOR!

Malgus put a lot of math and planning into ensuring he would be standing at the right spot when the ship crashed. If he was a little off, it would’ve been lights out.

10 years later and these cinematics still give me goosebumps!

One of the best segments of Starwars lore put to video. Every person involved should be treated as legend. Looks even better than it did in 2009.

I remember pre-ordering it. 2021 and I still play. Thanks for this game Bioware.

1:36 Such a powerful moment for a video game trailer.

Thank you, I remember waking up early to watch the e3 live stream and seeing this for the first time. It blew me away

Growing up, I watched my mom play Star Wars Galaxies, around when I was 10 or 11, SWTOR released, and I remember watching all the trailers, cinematic and gameplay, with her. She was hardcore into these games and even participated in the big faction wars on Galaxies. I was too young at the time to be captivated by MMO's because they weren't immediate into action types of games, but I slowly grew to love them, and now I play only SWTOR, and it will probably be what I play till the game officially dies. Either because of player count or the servers shutting down. Seeing these trailers reuploaded, brought me to tears because I remember watching them with my mom, both of us on our feet, excited about what would happen next, seeing a world of sith and jedi like never before. Thank you Bioware/EA, EA specifically has done a lot of things wrong with other games, but yall outdid yourselves on SWTOR. PS... LightSide Sith Warrior is the best story line, can't change my mind.

The memories just flooded back. Those long nights of healing through Nightmare Dread Palace with 15 other souls you just picked up

2:56 notice how Malgus' cheeks rise a bit - he's smiling

Ahh, love to see this reuploaded in a higher resolution. This is still one of my favorite game trailers, and I've never even played the game! The use of John Williams' great score, the choreography and the voice over is just... (chef's kiss)

Brings back memories. All of the trailers prior to launch was epic! Still gives me bloody goosebumps!

Everyone of these trailers should be made into a movie. My God they are beautifully done.

Every time I watch this trailer it is like I am watching it for the first time. So legendary. Disney cannot come close to making anything as good as this.

I never thought I'd see the day. I remember first seeing these when I started playing in 2013 and always come back to watch em. Seeing them remastered is a dream come true.

This was one of my favorites. From the music, to maglus, and the fight itself. Such an awesome short

I remember seeing this back in the day, mere minutes after it was revealed. Was so hyped for SW:TOR. Will have to get around to playing it again and catching up on all the story content.

Those Sith in that transport shuttle made up my mind to main a Sith at the game's launch.

Can't belive its been ten years and this trailer still gets me so excited!!

its fun watching these trailers after you played the game because you notice much more characters and actually know who they are, for example only lately i realized the Mandalorian helping Malgus is a younger Shae Vizla

This cinematic was done by Blur Studio if I recall correctly. Aside from various video game cinematics perhaps you may also know them from the Netflix animated series Love, Death & Robots.

such a great book. To see the temple fight like this made me happy. Not quite as I imagined it in my mind but still amazing!

Thank you! I've been wishing for this for the past couple years! It's Perfect again!

Still brings chills to this day, even though i have watched it so many times throughout the years. Would be nice to have a new Cinematic trailer for the next expansion on this level!

That's the kind of Star Wars we want!!

The fact we can play this game for free is amazing.

This trailer is what pushed me to explore The Old Republic back in the day. Never regretted it.

Love the shot of the camera focusing of the lightsaber on the ground

Omg I love this game so much !!!! And watching those animation brings goosebumps every time, even after all those years

Gods I really love Malgus, aside from how good a character he is it's just great to see him go to work

1:12 I love that, while all the other Jedi ignite their lightsabers, ready for a fight, Ven approaches Malgus somewhat calmly. Granted, he has the Order behind him, but part of me wants to imagine he didn’t even want to fight at first. Not to say he wanted to discuss peace, I doubt it. But from his perspective, Darth Malgus just showed up on Coruscant with a singular Imperial Agent alongside him, and is now facing down the entire Jedi Order. I think the first thing he wanted to do was ask his old enemy what the hell his plan even was.

These cinematic trailers are always amazing! Seeing them all these years later again is such a treat!

This is so good even as a trailer from 10 years ago

10 years on, and this is still the coolest Star Wars video game trailer ever, I surprised that they haven’t made full series using this animation style.

When a 3-minute trailer is better than everything Disney has regurgitated in 11 years.

This is art

My god. As if this masterpiece could get any better.. and yet here we are. 110 out of 10!!

My goodness that looks so good. I remember when I first saw this trailer I was instantly hooked. I didn't stick with SWTOR for the long haul but I still come back to it often. I love this game very much.

Still one of the best cinematics of a video game ever. I remember the time of the launch, the anticipation for this game was unreal. Has anyone noticed how the studio behind the cinematics have subtly implemented animations that mirror some exact abilities in the game? (i.e juggernaut smash, pyro flame sweep, just to name a few). That shows that they really made their research on how the game itself was made and designed, to build their cinematography on top of it, and that's awesome.

PLEASE MAKE THESE CINEMACTICS AGAIN!!!

2:11 *All the Battlefront 2 players*

I love how the combat are abilities learned in the game :) Bravo production team!

After reading the book "Deceived" it just makes this trailer better.

Disney: Darth Malgus Ven Zallow: George Lucas What happened when Disney tried to make the new trilogy

The last scene… Darth Malgus, so badass. Love it!

I've lost count how many times I've watched all these Star Wars game trailers. They never get old and are Star Wars masterpieces. ❤

Thank you very much for enhancing these trailers, they are a beautiful example of amazing Star Wars media.

En cierto modo es como volver a ese mágico 2011 donde todo empezó. Gracias por este regalo. ¡Este aniversario será inolvidable!

When the new trilogy was announced in 2012, I was imaging something like this

And now I can re-watch this trailer for the 10000 time, perfect

I always revisit this now and again, that’s the mark of a good piece of media.

Ah I see real Star Wars is circulating KZfaq again, so beautiful
