The old guy who is the father of the twins and the girl, was also once the Sith Emperor, Darth Vitiate. A long time ago he lured every surviving Sith Lord to a planet called Nathema after the sith had nearly been wiped out in a war with the Jedi, he then proceeded to do a ritual sacrifice which drained the life from all the remaining sith and the planet itself. The ritual made him essentially immortal by giving him the power to split his consciousness and takeover new host bodies like a parasite. He eventually traveled outside the known galaxy and found a planet called Zakuul, while he was there he took over the body of a famous warrior named Valkorian (the form you see him in during the trailer) and used his identity to become ruler of the planet and found a new empire which he named the Eternal Empire. He wanted to achieve absolute immortality so he used the Sith Empire to wage a war against the republic and planned to use the war to do another sacrifice like he had before, but on a much larger scale. Afterwards he was going to use the Eternal Empire to sweep in and destroy both the Sith and Republic and remake the galaxy in his image with him ruling as an immortal god emperor. So yeah the dude’s a complete lunatic who had been secretly manipulating events in the galaxy for over 1,000 years while living like a parasite jumping body to body to stay alive.

Ah, Darth Malgus, what Palpatine wanted Vader to be.

“Guess who has the fastest ship in this sector?” “Han Solo?” I mean, you’re not wrong, but The Old Republic is set like 3000 years before the events of the movies :’) 💚

Each of these cinematics, especially combined, are better than the movies 7, 8 and 9, especially combined.

The Twi’Lek with Malgus as they assaulted Coruscant temple was his wife Eleena Daru. Later Malgus ends up killing his wife due to her being his greatest weakness. She became his greatest power after dying.

These cinematics are better than anything Disney has made

I think it was a mistake for disney to ignore this old canon. They should just make a film about this.

For context in case you were confused. The reason why the attack on the Jedi Temple and Coruscant seemed to go so smoothly was because there was a peace talk taking place at the time. The Empire and the Republic were at the table talking. So the majority of the fleet, the army and the most powerful Jedi were at the peace summit with the Empire. Meanwhile Darth Malgus led a fleet to attack the vulnerable Coruscant and the Jedi Temple. This is actually a backstory for why the Jedi are not on Coruscant in the game because the temple is still wrecked.

He didn't banished the mother. He locked the girl in to a settlement, where he tried to control her(because he saw her power) , with the help of those "monks" .The mother(Senya) is not the jedi girl (Grand Jedi Master Satele Shan) from 2nd trailer. When she stopped the lightsaber with her hand, she used an old force power, like Master Yoda did with Palpatine's lightning.

I’m very late but the reason the girl with the double bladed lightsaber (Satele Shan) can block the lightsaber strike is a skill called tutaminis, or more commonly known as Force Absorption. This is the same skill that Yoda used to absorb Dooku’s lightning and Sidious’ lightning too. The Ancient Jedi and Sith had better access to force abilities and thus mastered the force much faster and more eloquently.

Long story short, the girl was sent to the sanitarium to be conditioned with a key phrase that shut down her force power when said near her. This was a failsafe in case she tried to kill anybody, but the process was super painful and caused her to become a blood thirsty psychopath.

The story is a little convoluted, but the father in the last two is also the Emperor of the Sith Empire. He considered the Sith Empire a failed experiment and decided to try something new by working on a second empire behind the scenes known as the The Eternal Empire. He found a way to live for thousands of years by body hopping, so he has a lot of experience. Once he felt his second empire was ready, he went in and took over the Galaxy until the hero (character you play that could either be from the Republic or the Sith Empire) stops him and his children and frees the galaxy from the Eternal Empire. All of this happened 2k years before the original Star Wars trilogy. I don’t know if it will ever be considered canon.

This whole series takes place before the sith became just two, The master and student. The emperor is Tenebrae who became Vitiate then reborn as the younger body Valkorion. he manages to find a way to literally constantly get new bodies and control them via a sith spirit transfer technique. He start the entire war with the Vitiate body just to show the jedi he was coming. The sith invade republic space starting with the battle of Korriban. Malgus slays the Jedi battlemaster Kao Cen Darach in combat while future grandmaster Satele Shan here just a padawan gets away to warn the republic. Malgus in a opportunity kills his master Vindican to raise his rank to sith lord. fast forward 14 years later to the Battle of Alderaan The republic was seriously losing ground to the sith at this point and was on the verge of collapse. Captain Jace Malcom took whatever platoons he could and headed for the planet desperate to save the planet but when he got there the royal family was already in chains and the planetary guards decimated. He immediately launched surprise attacks on the sith but didn't do much. The republic still stuck on what to do pretty much gave up on the planet. Satele Shan having heard enough got five jedi and got on the planet. The duel between her and malgus happened and Shan finally won but Malgus survived and killed two Jedi on his retreat off planet. The depleted republic forces finally breached the palace a few days later finally freeing the royal family. More republic vessels arrived in system to drive away the sith and rather than fight they grabbed their forces and retreated. The victory brought with it a full military stance for Alderaan and finally was the kick in the butt that the Republic needed to get into the war in earnest. Shan was reprimanded for her actions but she was allowed a military role as commander. The third video is of the sacking of courasant which malgus undertook himself. The battle was raging but the sith got nothing out of it as it was simply a show of force. That's because a peace conference happened at that exact time and everyone signing a treaty that the sith would be recognized as it's own territory and real hostilities would cease. Malgus was seriously mad but could do anything so he resigned himself to patrol duty on the borders. This wasn't the end though as it turned into a cold war. the jedi would clash with sith occasionally on border planets as duels with no one really dying but tensions were high. the last three were of vitiate returning and his story.

By the way, I know many people who react to the 2nd trailer always ask themselves why the trooper was able to move after getting zapped by force lightning. The reason for it is because his suit has a built-in shield generator that he turned on before charging at the Sith. The Sith was surprised at this and that's why he force pushed him. Also, the Smith's name is Darth Malgus.

I know the Eternal Empire expansions weren't very liked (mostly to gameplay reasons only). But the story, the cinematics were just fantastic, and to be honest, it still gives me goosebumps and some tears in my eyes. Such tragedy with the brothers who loved each other, until Valkorion´s final bitter disapproval of his sons just tipped Arcann over the edge, he just couldnt take it anymore. And Vaylin´s storyarc is equally tragic. The look of sheer terror and disbelief on Senya´s face, when she met Vaylin again, seeing how her beloved daughter is utterly and entirely consumed by pure rage and anger, beyond any hope of redemption.....still gives me goosebumps.

The thing where she blocked the light saber with her hand was called force absorption, basically the same as when the sith block explosions by protecting themselves with the force. Old style sith/jedi abilities lost with time.

Welcome to the Dark side, we have cookies 🍪

The tattoos that the girl had ARE in fact related to the tattoos of the red skinned Sith lady. These sort of tattoos are non-surprisingly referred to as “Sith tattoos”, and are normally obtained when a Sith apprentice accomplishes a trail of great significance such as; killing their first Jedi or showing great power and understanding of the dark side. Darth Maul is a good example of this. Maul received his full-body Sith tattoos in a tortuous ritual carried out by his master, Darth Sidious. Sidious purposely applied these tattoos slowly and painfully which only fuelled Maul’s hatred; further cementing him in the dark side. These “Sith tattoos” symbolize one’s devotion to the dark side as well serving as a right of passage for Sith apprentices. A constant reminder of pain and servitude, these tattoos are forever bound to one’s body just as a Sith is forever bound to the dark side of the force. Great video btw! You guys just gained a new fan!

Having played the game and still do. Veylin was conditioned by her father because her power was far too great. Arkan the brother who killed his twin does end up being on the light side of the force and helps in taking down Veylin and their father alongside his mother. The mother wasn't banished, Veylin was simply taken to a place called Nathema and the tattoos are a link to Veylin's conditioning.

Yay. The Sacrifice and Betrayed trailers, the father in them is the immortal sith emperor, that got annoyed and started a family and another faction to destroy both the empire and Republic. The sister, is not as skilled fighter as her brothers, but her power matched the emperor itself, so in the trailer you can see her being tormented, and theyve put a mental block so she couldn't use her full power, as that would threaten Valkorion, the father. She's completely nuts tho.

These trailers were so well put together, and having played this game through almost the entirety of its existence (I was a Founder back in technical alpha's as well as Beta tests), I really nerded out watching these trailers again, identifying all the characters, the classes, the abilities. Almost makes me want to pick it back up again. I could go on for hours talking about this game and the lore it gave to us as a (almost) sequel to Knights of the Old Republic.

Game is of course less stunning visually than these trailers but imo it's one of the most epic RPG games there is... You can play SWTOR solo and for free. the stories are amazing. Really the massive multiplayer online aspect is just a bonus.

Me: "I will not come to work tonight" (i'm working on nights shift this week) My Boss: "Why the hell not?!" Me: "'My favorite couple just posted reaction video to one of the best cinematics from star wars and I will watch it while having a beer or two"

God bless that you guys saw the true Star Wars Old Republic, nothing is better than the classics

First three cinematics was Darth Malgus the Great from young age to Mature

He struck down his own brother. And then the guilt and remorse set in. He felt so ashamed, so horrified, and so grief-stricken. His only thought was "what have I done".

The daughter in the last trailer, Vaylin, is the most deadly and fearful enemy I ever faced. She has more power in the force than any other, but she wouldn't control it very well and she was unhinged psychologically to boot. Such a bad (good) combination of raw uncontrolled power.

You guys are so genuine its really refreshing to watch. Love your reactions! Staying for plenty more!

That's the thing about some of these villains, they didn't start out as monster but were made into ones.

"The Division" has some really nice cinematic trailers.

I got goose bumps when they played one of the soundtracks of the old republic in the Clone Wars Order 66 with Ahsoka. Love it!

Love this reaction!!!! May the 4th be with u👋🏻

“Are they good or are they bad?” The answer is yes

Let's go, been waiting for this!

The old republic is 1000 years before the events of the first Star Wars movie. The Millennium Falcon hasn't been built yet.

The Old Republic. There were many great Jedi from back then. Some I would have liked to know, and one I do know. Grandmaster Yoda, he was alive around that time. I like this channel, you have gained a subscriber. May the fourth be with you.

Btw if y'all are still wondering how the women jedi i forgot her name stopped the lightsaber it's because she used the force to stop it temporarily

I'm so happy to your channel grown.....Yall really deserve it. Much love to the both of you all the way from South Africa.

It's amazing that Bioware made a 5 minute video DO what Disney couldn't do in 3 feature length films. It made you connect with the sister, see her grow up, then feel bad when she "falls," to the dark side. Bioware trailers are always done very well. Hopefully someone has told you to react to Biowares other game Starcraft as those trailers are also very well done. If no one has I suggest Starcraft 2 cinematic trailers- "Heart of the Swarm," And then "Legacy of the Void," in that order. Also little tidbit to get you even more mad at the first bald guy in the earlier trailers..his name is Darth Malgus, he's a bad guy of course. In the last trailer of his when the ship hits the builiding. The blue woman is his girlfriend which is why she's with him. He loves her and always kept her close to protect her, well to get stronger he has to get angry so he is forced to kill her so he has no attachments anymore.

Just found your channel today and been binging a bunch of videos while I drive. Good reactions keep up the great work. 20 thousand subs within REACH

Not sure if anyone addressed this but I’m pretty sure the reason she was able to hold the lightsaber in her hand without it going through is because she used the force to hold the lightsaber itself instead of using her actual hand

Satile Shan, descendant of two of my favorite characters, Revan (also known as Darth Revan) and Bastila Shan.

I really like your reactions! There was a great moment in the trailer where Bethany was pleased after seeing how strong the girl was and immediately terrified of her power (21:38)😊

Fun fact the three siblings are named arcan and thexan and Valylin and they are the sons and daughter to the sith emperor

0:52 Saúde 🥂

Sith shows up, sneezing fit 😂

You guys are so funny 😂 keep up the great work

The way she stopped the lightsaber from stabbing her is the same way Vader blocked Hans shots and Yoda deflected the Emperor’s lightning. I forgot what Force power it was. It’s very hard to do and very rare.

If you want to watch a long video with no ads, try skipping to the very very end, waiting a bit and starting it over Also if you haven’t seen it yet, a reaction to the first episode of the comic book show Invincible would be right up your alley, considering the MK reactions

"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… protected. You were trusted to lead the Republic but you were deceived, as our powers over the dark side had blinded you. You assumed no force could challenge you and now… finally… we have returned. You were deceived. And now your Republic will fall." You couldn't get dialog that good in the Disney sequels sadly

LOVE these. And man I loved playing as a Sith Warrior in this game. The vanilla game has unique storylines and all of them were fun, but the Sith Warrior story was so cool. Ahh.. the good old days.

been hoping for this one for so long :D

Grandmaster Satele Shan and Grandmaster Yoda, are the only Jedi known, to be able to stop a Lightsaber with bare hands, because of that, many conclude them to be equaly Powerful. Edit: Also the Mandalorian Woman in the 3rd trailer is Shae Vizla aka Mandalore the Avenger who hated the Jedi order for killing her Brother.

You guys are amazing 🔥🔥🔥 can't wait to see more.

About 15 years separated the first video from the third, during which time, Satele (the Jedi Sentinel) and Malcolm (the Republic Trooper) have a child, she becomes the head of the Jedi Order and he the head of the Republic Army. The fourth video and onward are setting up the Knights of the Eternal Throne.

Congratulations you guys!

I love that they had Jen Hale do the voice of Satele Shan. She was the VA for the Jedi Sentinel Bastila Shan in Knights of the Old Republic, a single player RPG game set years before this one. Satele is a descendant of Bastila and Darth Revan :D Additionally, the Jedi of the Old Republic are far more powerful than those pictured in the Skywalker saga, because Darth Sidious was weakening their ability to use the Force by sowing fear and hatred throughout the galaxy via the Clone Wars. These cinematics are 1000x better than anything Disney has put out.

The first three trailers are the beginning, middle and end of the Sith Empire's war with the Republic. Starring Satil Shan, the future Grand Master of the Jedi Order, and Darth Malgus, one of the empire's most powerful Sith. Then there are events after 30 years. The Eternal Empire Zakuul, led by Valkorian (one of the entities of the Sith Emperor), attacks the Empire and the Republic. Valkorian's son Arkan kills his brother, betrays his father and becomes the new emperor, and the player overthrows him. The latest trailer about Arkan's crazy sister. PS A separate plus of the first trailers is that they show animations of the main abilities of different classes. Lightning strike, sword throw, leap towards the enemy, air strike, etc.

In "Return" Darth Malgus' Master is a member of the species native to Korriban. This species was called the Sith, this is where the Dark Jedi who were first exiled from the Jedi Order got their name.

Your videos make wars from occurring, Actual W couple on god

Saúde hahaha. Vocês são demais. You is the best

Mans drinking champagne watching SWTOR trailers. Living the dream mate, hehe. Cool to see how you've gained 180k subscribers since you released this a year ago. Congratulations

Nice😍 can't whait to get home from work and watch this. Keep it up love your reactions 🙃🙃

This reminded me that is time to play SWTOR again, I left my Sith Marauder waiting.

eu sou um dos inscritos Brasileiros, só desejo sucesso para vocês

catching up in seeing what you guys reacted to is nice. Seeing you guys react to the SWTOR trailers makes me want to go back and play the game again. I missed so much since I haven't played the expansions yet with the Eternal Empire or Shadow of Revan

10,000 Subscribers by May the 4th? Almost 60k half a year later; Wow, congratulations you two! Also I'm so glad to see people watching SWTOR cinematics, they're among the best!

I have played through SWTOR with all classes, the experience was very good. These trailers are what hooked me into this game and kept me digging through the lore, which is MASSIVE!

The Sith and Tattoos have a slowly building, tangential relationship in the media. It started with Darth Maul, from Episode One. His species, the Zebrak, used face Tattoos are identifiers. But the custom was abused/twisted resulting in his full body Black/red look. All part of the notion Pain and suffering becomes power to the dark side in the form of Rage and negative emotions. Since then we've seen two Twi'leks sport similar markings. One in the Jedi Outcast Videogame series, and one here in the old Republic. So even if its just tangential, people/media have been slowly associating Tattoos with the Sith more and more. Although for the final girl in the video, its worth noting she seemed to naturally have some darker impulses. EG. She couldn't hit the armor in a 'controlled' way, but in a rage she shook the forest. Crushed her opponent in his armor. Used it for frivolous things like the toy; It was a sort of textbook 'descent' or signs she was naturally drawn to the darkside as a person, before the big bad did his thing and fully immersed her in it.

You guys are fast becoming my favorite reactors! Love you guys!

I remember when this game was first coming out... some of these earlier cinematics got me so hype

Darth Malgus is a beast.

2:54 if these games were still canon. I could see him as one of Han Solo’s ancestors.

The amazying part of all of that is how impressive the music of John Williams is still used in the universe. Glory to John Williams !! :D

I love these trailers so much. They’re probably my favorite cinematic trailers in gaming period, but the game itself is honestly equally as fun and rich with content as the trailers. Knights of the old republic is actually supposed to be getting a full remake on PS5 soon so I’m pretty hype for that as well.

Lol "stopped with her hand?" It's almost like she has magic powers...almost like some kind of force.

Huh. They changed the Deceived trailer dialogue. I didn’t realize that

The 4th and 5th trailers are by far the best. They do such a great job telling a compelling story without hardly any dialogue.

yeah those last two are really good story telling. If Disney could put those writers in charge of a movie, everyone would love it.

unfortunately the second and third trailer used to have far superior dialogue, it actually tied into the name of the cinematic such as Hope for the second and Deceived for the third. It used to lay out that Hope took place on Alderaan and really showed what was lost when the Empire blew it up 3800 years later. Deceived was all about how one should not allow being in power to blind you to foes that encircle you.

I've never heard the narration on those first three sound like that. Must be an alternate take...

11:31 "ow you son of..." good think I got youtube premium 😂

That first movie here was the sole reason I wanted to play and play smuggler. Was a great time, way back when. Love the soldier one as well

the old republic is set like 4,000 years before the original trilogy so Han and the Falcon hadn't been born yet.

You guys should use ad block for the compilations on these reactions - i'm totally down for pre-roll ads and ads to support channels but if you're looking to smooth out the experience for your videos thats a good way to do it.

just found your channel & already love it. Your reactions are so pure and you guys really bounce off each other. Subscribed & sending love and peace your way :)

1st 3 trailers SE vs OR- Darth Malgus vs GM Satele Shan. 4th 20:00 Tenebrae- Valkorion- Vitiatae 1000yo immortal Sith Emperor and 2 his sons Arcann and Thexan (black) and attack to 2 Empires (he make 3rd)... later his daughter Vaylin and wife Senya in 5th.

I think you forgot the Greek fans 😂😅

Marvel Phase four trailer reaction? Please please please please 🥺

I'm super late to the party here, but love your reactions and so glad you reacted to these trailers as this is my favorite time period of Star Wars! The game takes place around 3600 years before the movies, and 300 years after the original Knights of the Old Republic game. The Jedi woman from both trailer 1 and 2 is Satele Shan, who is the descendant of Revan and Bastila Shan from the original game. (She also has a son with the trooper Jace Malcolm from trailer 1 and 2). The Sith Lord from the first 3 trailers is Darth Malgus. The last 2 trailers center around the same family, from a 3rd faction called Zakuul that conquers both the Republic and the Empire. The father is Valkorian who is actually the Sith Emperor in another body. He has twin sons Arcann (white outfit) and Thexan (black outfit) with the mother shown in the last trailer, Senya. They also have a daughter Vaylin together seen in the last trailer. Vaylin has tremendous power and Valkorian has her confined to the sanitorium to be conditioned and she turns into a psycho who hates her mother. I feel very bad for Senya as one of her sons murdered the other and fell to the dark side, and her daughter went insane and committed horrible acts.

As a portuguese from Portugal, let me tell you this, you said "Saúde" better than most Brazilians do lol. Also great vid! Love SWTOR

EA has completely destroyed this game for money, but it was such an amazing game. You could play as either Republic or Empire and everything from a Jedi or Sith to a bounty hunter or even an Empire secret agent. Each character class had its own story. The stories are super fun and well written. And every single NPC is completely voiced. You could really immerse yourself in the star wars universe. It was my absolute favorite game. I sunk so many hours into it and played every class to endgame. Watching these cinematics makes me want to go back and play through them again.

all leag of legends cinematics is FIRE !!!!!

I do appreciate that you guys didn't talk and ignore half the trailers like a lot of people do. On the other hand you guys also don't seem to "react" much either, didn't see much emotion until the last one. These are some of the best Star Wars trailers there are. It would be cooler to see more of a reaction. The fun videos to watch are the one's where people really get into them.

The first 3 clips are by far the best imo. Malgus is one of the best bad guys they have crafted in the game. He actually makes a play for taking over the empire and replacing the Emperor, quite ballsy..

Should I still be okay when u guys totally forgot me ; (

The cinematic with the two brothers, you were right. They were more of a ‘neutral’ faction in the war. They killed both sides which is really cool in my opinion.

The move the female Jedi (Satele Shan) uses to grab the Lightsaber blade with her bare hands is called Tutaminis. This is the same move Yoda uses to block Force Lightning.

10k subscribers as of the upload of this video, now you’re almost to 200k congrats

Can you react to god of war
