Non-Gamer Watches #22 "Star Wars: The Old Republic" 

Thats so pretty" That is Alderaan. It would be a shame if something were to happen to it!

“And then what happened?!” You grinded trash mobs for 80 hours

Something cool you might not have noticed: the girl jedi, the trooper with the big gun, and the Pale Bald Sith in the first trailer are all recurring characters in the other two trailers after it. They're compiled chronologically, so when you see them later, they're older.

"How can you NOT like Valkorion, Vitiate, Tenebrae. Such a calculating, smart, powerful man!" -Servant 3 probably

"I don't like him" Yep, that's Emperor Valkorion for you, the guy is literally a genocidal maniac that pushed all 3 of his kids to darkness, well 1 died, and killed BILLIONS across more or less a thousand years (yes, he is kinda immortal). The twins and the blond girl from the last trailer are all kids from the same mother, Senya, that woman from the last trailer.

Well, to see the rest of the story, you have to play, lol.

1)This cinemamatics takes place 3600 years before the films. The 1st Sith Empire has disappeared since the Great War of hyperspace, the Mandalorian wars, the Sith empire of Revan and Malak and the triumvirate sith (Darth Nihilus, Darth Traya and Darth Sion) for hundreds of years. During these last three conflicts, the 2nd Sith Empire, led by Darth Vitiate, was preparing the invasion of republican space. This invasion begins in this cinematic. A fleet led by Lord Vindican and his apprentice Darth Malgus is storming Korriban, the birthplace of the Sith. The two Jedi are the zabrak Jedi master whose name I have forgotten and his padawan Satele Shan (descendant of Revan), they are accompanied by Commander Jace Malcom and smugglers Nico Carr. In the end, Malgus kills Vindican 2)This cinematics takes place about ten years after "return". The war rages and Alderann is threatened. The sith assault is led by Malgus, he is then confronted with Satele Shan and Jace Malcom. The Republic wins the battle but is greatly weakened. 3)The war rages without any winner standing out. The Empire and Vitiate then propose a peace to the Republic. The leaders of both parties are meeting on a neutral planet to discuss it. Meanwhile, under Vitiate’s orders, Malgus is leading a sith fleet for Coruscant: the goal is to weaken the republic and destroy the Jedi order before the peace treaty is signed. Malgus is accompanied by Mandalorian Shae Vizla (future Mandalore). The operation is a success: the Jedi order and its main masters are no longer, Coruscant is ravaged and the treaty despite it signed. The Cold War begins. The history of the game takes place 38 after the peace treaty. The remaining Jedi have taken refuge on Tython under the aegis of Jedi master Satele Shan. Malgus is a member of the Black Council. A rumor will spread that Vitiate is dead, the Black Council will take the direction of the council but Malgus will self-proclaim himself Emperor. His attempt will fail. But that’s another story. 4)The father’s name is Valkorion, the twins are Arcann and Thexhan, his sons. Valkorion is the emperor of the eternal empire, a new faction that developed into an empire in unknown regions. In reality Valkorion is the emperor Sith Vitiate who disappeared for hundreds of years. Seeing that the war between Empire and Republic was leading nowhere, he decided to create a "perfect" empire that will defeat the Republic and Empire (then led by the Black Council. 5)After Valkorion (or not) died, his daughter Vaylin took over with Arcann. This cinematic summarizes her origins tory

About the Darth Maul thing in the beginning, those are tattoos.

''Is he a good guy?'' Oh boy... not even a little In his pursuit of immortality he has consumed all life on 2 planets (maybe 3) one of which was his own home world

Your reaction to ads popping up is me every time.

On the last cinematic, I seem to remember playing that whole expansion without stopping. Definitely some family issues going on there. 😃

The epic Jedi woman, is Satele Shan, leader of the "Jedi faction" in the game. Also some relation to previous Bioware games. The dude she shoved into the mountain, and who kills his master in the first trailer, is Darth Malgus, leader of the "Sith faction" in the game. He's also in the third, but with a mask then. The soldier (trooper) is Jace Malcom, first and foremost there as a representation of the Trooper class within the game, but also appears in game. If you want to know more of them, after you've seen the trailers, you can search them up on Star Wars fandom wiki. There is alot of info there. The last trailers are from an expansion of the main game. It's about a third faction, who is neither good or bad. They just want the universe for themselves. The women in those trailers are the mother of the twins and the girl. The ominous guy is the father.

"I don't like Him". Yepp Emperor Valkorion is not the most likable dude. Too bad you never played KOTOR and SWTOR. The story is much deeper than that of the SW films. May I recommend to you the short fan film "Old Republic: Rescue Mission". All aside these trailers have better storytelling each than the whole new trilogy combined :)

Be patient, young padawan. Come back the sound will.

I haven't played the game in a while but this is the best I remember. The twins are that little girl's older brothers the "wasp" and the old dude are their parents. The old dude is the emperor of the eternal empire they're pretty much hostile to Jedi and Sith.

Star Wars always had a real amazing idea with the whole “dark side” thing, instead of just being an emotion, in the star wars universe it’s like an affliction, a disorder even, people that give into their anger just become sick with rage and hatred. Its crazy.

well.. I did* warn ya about the sound in one of my comments 🤣. Anw, yeah alot of context is missing but I’ll try to shed some light without going overboard for at least the twins (and their sis’s) story. So.. 1) their dad is the biggest baddy for the game’s story(at least for this arc) 2) they are part of third faction where the dad is the emperor who has grand plans to conquer everything (so they just go out and beat everyone else up as seen from the flags and the lightsabers of the leaders from both the Empire and the Republic) 3) the twins are just instruments of his plans. So he has been manipulating them their whole lives; being cold, unloving, distant, indifferent, etc; 4) he did expect one of them to kill the other, so they could not oppose his authority together if it came down to it 5) their sis was not part of the dad’s plan initially because the mum tried to keep her powers on the down low 6) unfortunately, dad found out so the girl is part of his plans now (she’s the most powerful amongst the siblings so he had her powers toned down - tattoo ritual and shaving head scene). Further tidbits: - their lightsabers don’t follow the general rule (red is bad, blue is good) because they dont follow in the Jedi/Sith religion. (But they still use the force) - mum is badass because she’s one of the personal guards that protect the emperor (her husband) -if you must know the names Valkorion - Dad, evil emperor Thexan - dead twin Arcann - other twin Vaylin - sis Senya - mum if you’ve read this far, beautiful intro for this vid and thanks for that 🙂

I'de like to add that lightsabers sometimes reflect their affiliation and belief to the force. though this excludes as playing as the character in the video game, which allows you to color your own light saber the way you want it. Red has been a symbol of the Sith. which means Power Blue is the symbol of Jedi, which means Peace Other colors like Orange, another Sith affiliated color, which means Passion. and Green as a Jedi color, represents Serenity. Yellow has been a natural phase of the force sensitive, meaning they don't align with neither jedi or sith beliefs. either they are attempting to understand it, or otherwise that they disagree with both sides. Perhaps a lawful order that doesn't apply to the concept of good and evil. as a little trivial addition, purple has not been a intended light saber color, Samuel Jackson personally asked for a different color light saber to impress his son in the movies so that when his son asks where his dad is "That's me right there holding the purple light saber." though that isn't always to the case, but it is however heavily considered, star wars authors tend to make up characters and quote "a lightsaber reflects the wielders persona or affiliation most of the time." which makes it easier for readers or viewers to understand the characters personality or intent when the light saber is drawn. to ask if the Sith , or even the Jedi are bad is entirely subjective. the Siths actions are considered cruel and evil. but they still fight and serve the empire and whats best for the empire. given that a few corrupted ones wanted to kill the competitors for authority and dominance, or rot the empire from within (such as racism, as conquering other planets without pity or remorse for the residents) as the player, you get to decide and represent those actions as good or evil. Even the Jedi can be hated as well due to their naive and peaceful nature. they're hesitant to take action when its dire, they would choose to abandon or turn away peaceful propositions such as refugees asking for help from monsters or raiders that threaten their residents because they were considered immigrants. and this in turn makes a few communities hate the Jedi for not saving them when they needed it most.

For Darth Maul, the Red was his skin and the black was all tattoos; Sith (and a few other groups/races/species/etc.) were well known for tattooing, and the Sith applied theirs oftentimes through extremely painful Sith Sorcery. If memory serves it could sometimes be equated as (surface area = badassery) since they basically were tortured in their application

20:57 "Really? Well, why the Hell did you do that?" That's a complicated question: The Dark Side of the Force isn't just temptation like we deal with in our daily lives. The Force is *ALIVE* and it wants to be used. When driven to a blind rage, the Dark Side takes control and Forces people to do truly evil things.

The Zabrak race is actually divided between two planets Iridonia and Dathomir. Those who settled on Iridonia tend to develop lighter skin tones and those who settled on Dathomir tend to develop red, yellow, or orange skin colors. Maul as you may have guessed is from Dathomir. As far as that tattoo question as a society zabrak used facial tattoos to identify personal identity and sometimes family ties this occurred in both the Iridonian and Dathomirian Zabraks.

“And then what happened” Well... Uh... That depends on the player to some extent but, Vaylin is consumed by rage, insanity and hatred. She’s been tortured and brainwashed because she was too powerful for her own safety and the safety of entire planets. When valkorion dies, her brother Arcan, the boy in white, becomes Emperor. She assumes an advisory role to him but when he is defeated in battle by the player, Vaylin becomes Empress. She is betrayed several times and reaches a point beyond saving, even by her own mother. Vaylin dies at the Battle of Odessus, alone and believing herself unloved. Depending on player choices her spirit dies return and is kind-of redeemed, and she destroys the spirit of her dead father to prevent him from returning and wreaking havoc on an already unstable galaxy.

'This guy's face just keeps getting more and more jacked up!' Which is why when we see him in-game, he's got a metal mouthguard.

Just to let you know the audio for the second an third game trailer were changed from the original

Yea this MMO takes place thousands of years before the movies, so you’re basically meant to know nothing. Also no, Darth Maul just looked like that. His species is called Zabrak.

Just a little side note... in those are troppers of the old Republik, no clones

Im sure someone has stated this before me. Darth Maul as well as the Red Skinned Sith Lady, that is not makeup, they are Sith Tattoos. To state the Wookieepedia here: "The term Sith tattoo referred to a number of different types of body markings that were used by followers of the dark side order and its factions. (...)The application of Sith tattoos was painful, owing to the fact that they were applied via Sith pincerbugs."

The ones you're asking "are they the good guys.". No, lol. The old guy is literally on of if not the most evil, and powerful sith in all of Legends Canon. Imagine what emperor Palpatine did in the movies. But that guy figured out how to live forever, and has been ruling as Emperor for over a thousands years.

I guarantee that if Disney made Old Republic films instead of this Kathleen Kennedy drivel, Star Wars would be #1

I prefer grim and dark stories. Because it reflecs reality. Happy ending doesn't exist. Never existed and never will.

The whole story of Vaylin is really sad. When her powers started to manifest it caused a rift between Valkorion (her father) and Senya (her mother). This tore the family apart, and Vaylin was taken away to a planet where there is no Force energy and subjected to years of mind-bending psychic torture so Valkorion could shut down her powers, because she was stronger than him and he felt threatened by her.

To the darth maul comment. It’s a combination of his skin color and a full body tattoo

Every person you mentioned had "make up". I don't know how to say this um. That's their skin...lol.

Highly recommend reacting to star wars SC 38 reimagined. It is amazing and shows my true power of the dark side.

Great reactions. I like all these trailers but the last two really step it up a notch. I'll never get tired of watching them.

"How much time did Darth Maul spend in the mirror?" cracks me up lmao

Malgus is so badass. The Fake Emperor. I was actually thinking like... "hey, why the silent segments"... then I remember... Disney -_-

The problem with the first few trailers might be that you aren't introduced to any characters, just "archetypes" for the classes in the game. Even the two somewhat relevant characters don't get much development. For the DLC they instead gave you some backstory about the characters you'd encounter. That kind of focus can make the difference between a history lesson and a story..

"does yellow not mean good?" nope, you can also play full on evil with a green or purple lightsaber if you want to. just most sith seem to find red "cooler".

Yes! I was waiting for these! I thought we'd see one at a time, but got them all at once, bonus! Those last 2 are the ones I thought of when I suggested these a while back. Thank you for doing them and I hope you enjoyed them. When you mentioned Darth Maul, it made me wonder if you've seen the Clone Wars and Rebels animated shows. If not, I'd highly recommend them; start with Clone Wars (there's a theatrical released one that starts it off, then the T.V. series takes it from there) and then move on to Rebels. They tell Darth Maul's story incredibly well along with A LOT of other fantastic stories surrounding Anakin, Obi-Wan, and others that you are familiar with from the movies. The first season of Clone Wars is a little rough, but during the 2nd season it really takes off. I'm sure people would love to see your reactions to these beloved shows. Also, your into here is wonderful. Thank you for being a positive voice on an important topic. I hope you never stop sharing your words and wisdom. -Zep

the story of this game is so good and so captivating. I was so invested while playing and I cannot wait to see where to story goes in the next expansions

Spoiler alert: Those white armored troopers are not clones. They are normal recruits which took place 4000 years before A New Hope

Love how the more invested you became throughout this lol

Dunno if anyone put it in here, but this is about 4000 years before the first Star Wars movie. At this time the Sith are a full empire with thousands of Sith Lords all working on betraying each other. Eventually under Darth Bane made the "Rule of Two": Master and Apprentice. One to have power, one to crave power. This was also the period where the Mandalorians had engaged on a full war against the Jedi and the Republic. In the 4th one they are part of the Eternal Empire who was founded by the Sith Emperor in exile to fight the Jedi and the Sith.

lol she is so adorable. I would love watching a movie with her just to see her reactions. I think she would be more fun to watch.

One thing I gotta give them props for is, or at least was when it was just the trailers with the twins and their father, they really moved away from clear good guys/bad guys to more just people in situations, even if that didn't hold up as much in the actual game.

You don't just go by the color of the Lightsabers, you also go by the color of their eyes. If you delve too deeply into the Dark Side, it actually begins to SHOW on your body. First, your eyes change color into yellow, orange, or red. Then your skin starts to deform until it looks like cracked marble.

These cinematics were meant to help sell the online game. (LOL. You have to play the game to find out what happens) Just watching these you wouldn't know these characters but it's to introduce you to them. You do run I to them in the game. It's also meant to demonstrate the classes and skills you can have in the game. In the timeline of Star Wars this all takes place thousands of years before the movies your familiar with. The animated series is canon and is part of the Star Wars story arch. They are also, story wise, awesome. I highly recommend watching all of Star Wars the Clone Wars followed by rebals. They fill in a lot of gaps during and between the movies. The movie Rogue One will make more sense if you've seen Rebels first, and both it and Solo fall into the time line of Rebels.

that was Darth mauls skin color. his species all have red/yellow/orange skin with black markings and horns

Haven’t seen anyone mention this, so in reference to your joke about Darth Maul at the beginning, the red skin and black tattoos are a dark side thing with Zabrak. As opposed to some makeup they just put on every morning. 😂

Thank you for the reaction to the Star Wars: The Old Republic trailers. I enjoy your reactions. My only disappointment is that the combined trailer video you watched had the alternate dialogue for the second and third trailers. I personally greatly prefer the original dialogue for these two trailers, and I'm not sure why the alternate dialogue ones seem to be easier to find recently. That said, thank you for the great reaction.

The twins context: the father is Valkorion. He has within him, the soul of the Sith Emperor who had secretly been building an entirely new empire behind everyone's back. He fathered the twins, and sent them off to fight both the Sith and the Jedi. He never showed much care, as per this prophecy of his. Arcann, the one in white, had enough and lashed out, accidentally killing his brother in the process. In the next one we see Vaylin and her mother. The mother was once Valkorions wife. In this new empire, both light and dark are embraced. The Knights wield blue and green colours, as protectors this is considered light sided. Yellow technically means an old Saber, having had many wielders, and was first used by the Jedi Sentinels historically. The row of yellow Saber wielders standing against the mother are the Scions. They wield red in game.

These events happen about 3000 years before the movies start . It occurs in a time where the Jedi and Sith were at the height of their power. I’m going to name few characters as they were canonical before Disney bought the property. First is Satele, she’s the Jedi whose clothing you liked, she is the descendant of two Jedi (Revan and Bastila who were in a previous game) and your character meets her when she’s about 30 years older and has a grown son of her own. Then there’s Darth Malgus he’s the Sith Lord that kills Satele’s master and whom she later fights in the forest. He’s the main antagonist of the base game.

Thank you for reacting to these videos. Hope you didn't feel it was a waste of time. I know watching your reactions wasn't a waste of time for me

Darth Maul‘s Face is actually Tattooed, that’s why he‘s red and black instead of brown

The "makeup" is acturally dark side corruption shown as facial features. Both on the Twilek and on Darth Maul. If you get high enough with the dark side in the game it will allso show on your characters face.

Fun fact about color coding the lightsabers. Your comment about not knowing whos who, is the exact reason why Samuel L JAckson specifically wanted a purple lightsaber. hes said in mulitple interviews he said he wanted to know which one he was so he wanted purple.

the two last videos are a third faction that is why the twing fought both the republic and the sith empire. The father of the twins and the sister vaylin from the last video is actually the emperor of the sith empire and built a new one called Zakull where you see them

The Republic troopers aren't clones, they're normal people recruited like soldiers are in the modern real world. This game takes place thousands of years before the movies. The bald Sith guy in the first 3 is Darth Malgus.

Lol I love you so much 😂😂😂 your reactions and saying the same things you did the first time 😂

Darth Maul was torture by Sidios and tattoo in a very painful manner in order to strengthen his connection with the Dark Side and black and red tats are common in Sith Lords apprentices !

Star Wars The Old Republic is set around 3000 years before the movies

In the original SWTOR game (the one covered by the first three trailers) you get a team of five companions who go with you on the journey and at the beginning of the Knights of the Eternal Throne story (the fourth trailer) these companions get scattered across the galaxy and you have to slowly bring them back together as well as gather new friends. There's one companion I really liked who remains MIA for most of the story. I left the game years ago but recently came back when I found out they finally brought back that character. However, after all these years I'm starting to realize, this game has not not aged well.

The trailers all set up the game. Trailer 1 - the narrator is Satele Shan, the padawan of Master Kao Cen Darach. The trooper who helps in the escape is Jace Malcolm of Havoc Squad. Niko Ocarr is the smuggler who was in custody but helps them getaway in his ship. Lord Vindican (a pure-blood of the Sith species) and his apprentice, Malgus, are the Sith who fight the Jedi. These characters alone set up six of the eight playable classes in the game (Jedi Consular, Jedi Knight, Sith Warrior, Sith Inquisitor, Republic Smuggler, and Republic Trooper) while also introducing characters that do show up as Non-Player Characters in the game. Trailer 2 - set on Leia Organa's home planet of Alderaan (blown up in Episode 4 - A New Hope), Havoc Squad led by Jace Malcolm, who narrates, leads the Republic forces against the Sith Empire under command of Lord Malgus. He is saved from execution by Master Satele Shan. Nothing really new here...however, off-screen Satele and Jace have had a son together who becomes important in the expansions of the game named Theron Shan. Theron isn't a Jedi or a Trooper, but a Republic spy and an NPC companion to the character you are playing. Trailer 3 - Now this one has two versions, and the one in this video has the weaker voice-over narration text, performed by Darth Malgus. Malgus with his Twi'lek wife Eleena Daru, helped by Mandalorian Bounty Hunter Shae Viszla, confront the Jedi in the Jedi Temple. The Jedi Master killed by Malgus is Ven Zallow. You also see an astromech droid (like R2-D2) called T7-01. This trailer sets up the Bounty Hunter playable class, Shae Viszla as an NPC that shows up in expansions and Teeseven as an NPC companion to the Jedi Knight class, while Malgus is an NPC in content after the initial game and in the recent sixth expansion 'Onslaught'. The only class never set up in the trailers is the Imperial Agent, a spy for the Empire. Now...for the last two trailers, which are for 2 expansions of the game 'Knights of the Fallen Empire' and 'Knights of the Eternal Throne'. The Emperor Valkorian (definitely a BAD GUY), his twin sons, Arcann (in white and injured) and Thexan (in black and who dies), his former love, Senya (the one you dubbed The Wasp), and their daughter Vaylin (who is seriously twisted!!!). All of these characters are NPCs, although Arcann and Senya might become companions to your character based on the decisions you make while playing. They are part of the Eternal Empire of Zakuul, which has a fleet able to decimate the Republic and Imperial fleets combined. The game and the trailers take place 3,500 or more years BEFORE 'Star Wars Episode IV-A New Hope'. In fact, before the launch of the game in 2011, LucasFilm commissioned four novels set in this time of the SW Universe, now in 'Legends' non-canon line. 'Revan' about Satele and Theron Shan's legendary ancestor, Revan, a Jedi who became Sith who returned to the Jedi (and a primary character of two games by SWTOR's company Bioware, 'Knights of the Old Republic 1 & 2'). 'Fatal Alliance' which showed off the playable character classes in a story specifically designed to do so. 'Deceived' which tells the outcome of the destruction of the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, and the treaty in place as the game begins, with Darth Malgus as the main protagonist. 'Annihilation', taking place after the base game events, that introduces NPC Theron Shan, Republic spy with the SIS, and player companion through the game from the end of the second expansion onward. I hope I could illuminate some of your confusion...I tried anyway. Thank you for finally doing these, I have been waiting!!! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

That’s Mauls original skin color, his people all look like that. Pretty sure he’s from the planet Dathomir

Yellow lightsabers usually belonged to jedi temple guards and yes they mean good, sometimes they mean a mix in the middle

Hi again, HannaH. I've been watching your vids out of order, and I'm only just about to start this one. But I wanted to take the time to address your intro about Chadwick Boseman. When you said the part about it being a concerted effort, about it being an effort we do now for the next generation, it reminded me about something that a character says in the Elder Scrolls Online while exploring a monastery dedicated to swordplay and mastery of steel and self (Leki's Blade, to those familiar to the area): "We do not choose when we rest. To give up the hard road is to bring suffering to the next traveler." Those words may have come from a game, but they're no less true. And while I'm saying it late, may it serve as a reminder to all of us not to quit when the going gets tough; that's precisely when we should keep going EDIT: Turns out the phrase was 'when we rest', not 'where we rest'. Corrected :)

darth maul is a zabrak and they can come in different colors red/black and this brown/ tan color. All this takes place way before all the movies that are out. Also last 2 trailers is a 3rd faction that is at war with both the republic and empire the twins and the girl are siblings the old dude is their dad and the lady at the end is their mom. Yellow is sorta nuetral color can be used by both dark/light side

I never get tired of watching this! lol

"I need more charecter development". Have you tried playing the games?

Fun fact: The trooper and the young female Jedi you see in the second video actually got together, one of the heroes in the games is actually their son. Not really following the Jedi Code, but I suppose strange things happen during a war.

hahaha nice! very enjoyable video. i loved the conclusion and facial expressions. Wait what? Live long and prosper??? oh oh oh...Much to learn, you have.

Believe it or not Darth Maul's subspecies of Zabrak didn't exist till close to the end of the old republic as the night sisters never colonized dathomir. So there were only Zabraks from their orginal homeworld and other colonies. Also yeah those tattoos are part of their skin.

Those small movies is just a tip of iceberg. You need to play everything cuz there is wast amount of stuff to see and it’s gorgeous. And what's more to it - every class needed to be played twice because of light/dark way.

I'm pretty sure Darth Maul tattooed his whole body.

The Zabraks (Darth Maul character) come in a variety of colors. From normal skin tones to red colorings. The things that are on their face are facial markings that all of them have. So no, it's not makeup. It's just the way they are.

The colors don’t mean evil or good. The core of the franchise is the light and dark side of ones character. The Sith Empire vs the Republic was the first two vids, however the last two were about a 3rd party that conquered both the previous factions. They were sort of worse than the previous

The two twins are interesting though, .especially how they are portrayed in the cinematic. One twin dressed all in White, one dressed all in Black. Looking back at the previous cinematics it becomes obvious that the Sith dress in black or dark clothes with the Jedi in brighter or earthen colors. Add to that the very classic cliché of the evil guy having a dark hat with the good guy having a white hat it gives the idea that if one of the twins turn to the Dark, it will be the one dressed in black. But then we see the twin dressed in bright clothes get wounded and increasingly aggressive, aka giving in to his emotions which is a way to the Dark Side. So the betrayal comes from the twin dressed in bright clothes, not the one dressed in dark. Sure, none of them turn out particularly "good" but the subversion of expectations by how they are dressed is interesting to me.

Ok so Darth Mauls skin is red. The black lines are all cultural tattoos from his home world.

I'm pretty late to be commenting, but... The twin in the black clothing did die. The first three videos were about two sides of a conflict rather than the people in them. The lady in the last one was the mother of the twins. The man was the father of both the twins and the girl. Nobody in the last two are really 'good guys', except maybe the mother. The third video's real impact was supposed to hit at the end, when Coruscant, capital of the Galactic Republic, and the Jedi temple there, were collapsing and on fire. The lady with the double-bladed, blue lightsaber in the first video is the same as in the second. The trooper with no helmet from the first was also in the second. The pale Sith with the single, red lightsaber, who's face kept getting worse, was the same in the first three. The mother in the last video was the consort of the man, who was the emperor of the Eternal Empire. At the end of the final video, the daughter is attacking the mother withher own lightsaber pike, but does not kill her. The mother escapes and survives. Red lightsabers mean the Sith Empire/the Sith. Blue and green mean the Galactic Republic/the Jedi. Yellow and blue mean the Eternal Empire, who are neither Sith or Jedi, and were unknown for a long time.

I used to play The game for so many years. Only just stopped a year ago

In the games and the later chapters, your player interacts with these NPC's. Satele later forms a very romantic liason with that Trooper you saw fighting in the first clip and leading the fight in the forest. His name is Jace Malcolm. Very romantic...they have a child. That child later appears as Theron Shan who is not Force Sensitive so he cannot become a Jedi. He joins the Republic intelligence service and interacts with your player characters in later chapters of the game. It gets very complicated as the game and its additions go on, but I won't spoil it for you. The game is primarily about your character, his or her skills or actions and how they interact with these "canon NPCs." Sometimes they command you, sometimes they are out there to assist you.

Darth Maul: Full body sith tattoos

So the first 3 cinematics Return, Hope, and Betrayed they are the trailers which are meant to establish essentially the two main NPC (non-playable characters) in the lore of Jedi Satele Shan (descendant of the very powerful Jedi Master Bastila Shan, and Jedi/Sith Revan) and the main antagonist of the series Darth Malgus. The following two trailers for Knights of the Fallen Empire, and Knights of the Eternal Throne are trailers that were dropped for the DLC additions to the game under the exact same names which established Arcann (the living twin) Valkorian (stoic guy who always turns his back to the twins) Senya Tirall (mom of the twins and mother of the little girl being saved) and Vaylin (the little girl) into the series and the Kingdom of Zakuul in which Valkorian is established as the Sith Lord which has been wreaking havoc on the galaxy for 1500 years. He took other names such as Vitiate, and Tenebrae but all 3 are the exact same person just in different bodies. It along with the stories of Darth Revan are some of the most lore filled, iconic stories of the Star Wars franchise.

Everything in these trailers happens like thousand years before the clone wars series

Why does those cinematics have a different voiceovers from the OG ones????

4:27 that is no face paint, they are Tattoos

The Darth Maul comment killed me, that was a good one!

19:49 But it's not makeup, it's actually tattoos that this girl covers her whole body with, just like Darth Maul did

The Sith that kills the jedi master in the 1st trailer and the padawan become masters and influential generals of the Republic and Empire. The Sith is Darth Malgus and the padawan becomes Master Satele Shan. The war that you see beginning in korriban and ending in coruscant lasted 20 years and the events of the game start a few years after this war.

wth? where did those dialogues in the "deceived" trailer come from? thats not the text thats supposed to be there....

Yellow and orange means you are in the middle of good and evil. Blue and green mean more towards the light side and red means you are towards the dark side

So Darth maul and that Jedi Master are both Zabraks, the main difference is that technically they aren't the same species of zabraks. Darth maul is a Dathomirian Zabrak, a mix of human and zabrak found entirely on the planet of Dathomir. The rest of the Zabraks come from Iridonia and it's colonies, they are "pure" zabraks basically. Dathomirian Zabraks mutated Orange, red and purple skins as well as different formations of horns, while Iridonian Zabraks are mostly tan and muted colors as well as smaller horns than their dathomirian brothers. The horn thing isn't so much mutation as it is the Ichor found on dathomir enhanced their bodies naturally, and If directly infused, Such as Savage Oppress, their bodies would enlargen and their horns would grow much larger.

Satele Shanl is a Jedi Cousular. Jedi essentially train in two different classes. There are the Jedi Knights, tough, very aggressive and trained extensively in combat. Consulars tend to use the double bladed light saber and are trained more extensively in powers of the Force. The Knights are essentially tanks or damage specialists, while the Consulars are more into healing and either buffing the powers of their comrades or lessening the powers of the enemy, more into mind control To an extent you can visualize the two types as warriors vs. mages...Knights are tougher and capable of dealing more damage, hence the more extensive armor...they melee. The Consulars tend to be less armored but more agile and capable of turning the Force into offensive or defensive actions. Body vs. Mind...but that's a very loose description. Knights can grow in the Force and a higher level Consular can be a deadly opponent. (Sith have a rough parallel in their classes of Sith Warrior and Sith Inquisitor.)

The story of the lost empire was pretty good. Valkorians story actually rings even better if youre on the sith warrior track. Ad it makes much reference to your time as the emperor's wrath

If only there had been movies set in this era.

I assume the sound periodically cuts out for RU-vid Copyright reasons. As Starwars stuff is notoriously over policed for its music and the like. If memory serves correctly these are also the TV 'friendly' versions of the Trailers. As most of the Voice lines were rewritten. The older versions are alittle darker but sound better. The most heavily changed one was probably the 'Deceived' trailer, aka the sith attacking the jedi temple.

*Star ....Wars...............................stuff* Blahahahahahahaha!! Thank you, that had me laughing all day!!!

Darth mual was a different breed of the same race u saw in the trailer. The black was a tattoo

Just a bit of background on the "twins" set of trailers.The two twins are Arcann (white, cybernetics), and Thexan (black, RIP). Their father is Valkorion, Emperor of the Eternal Empire of Zakuul. While the Republic and Sith Empire were fighting for control, he was building up his forces and when they were weak he sent his sons to conquer both. That's why they present him with the flags of the Repiblic and Empire along with trophy lightsabers. There's a bit more as to who Valkorion is but I won't get into it. Valkorion basically wanted one son, one heir. The twins desperately craved his approval and as you can see Acann only received it when he slew his brother. Vaylin is the twins' younger sister. She is as you can see a prodigy in the Force. As soon as she manifested her powers, Valkorion had her locked away in a sort of a mental asylum where she was experimented on, tortured, and eventually released but not before a sort of trigger phrase was brainwashed into her so that Valkorion could control her and she could never be a threat to him. Vaylin's and the twins' mother, Senya, was the captain of Valkorion's elite guard, the Knights of Zakuul. She began a romantic relationship with Valkorion but pulled away after she saw how indifferent he was towards his children.
