Star Wars fan reacts to Star Wars: The Old Republic All Cinematic Trailers! | SWTOR 

HEY GUYS! AGAIN, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE SUPPORT! This is currently the most viewed video on my channel and I'm glad to meet so many other people who are passionate about STAR WARS as much as I am! I GOT 3 QUESTIONS: 1. If you were born in the Old Republic time era, which side do you want to be on? Sith? Republic? Or maybe even Zakuul? 2. What class character do you want to be, and which characters have you played in the game if you have already? 3. Since my schedule is kind of all over the place, would you guys rather see me play the game or maybe react to the different class character storylines and playthroughs? REPLY OR COMMENT DOWN BELOW! Update as of 12/25: I'm playing the game right now as a Sith Warrior since many of you asked me to play and my reaction to the 'Disorder' trailer is also on my channel

These cutscenes are so epic, I’ve never gotten tired of watching them

10:40 That's a force technique called Tutaminis. It allows the user to absorb and redirect energy, in essence. We see Yoda use it twice in the Prequel trilogy to absorb lightning from both Dooku and Palpatine

The Jedi of the Old Republic era were no joke, at least they were in the Expanded Universe. Plus the great attention to detail given in the fighting styles. The Jedi mortally wounding that Sith with finesse and technique, the remaining Sith just overpowering him with sheer brute force; just heavy, battering swings bashing through the Jedi's guard.

If anyone ever wonders why we think Disney Star Wars is such bullshit, just show them these trailers as a example of what Star Wars should be.

Those trailers epicness bring tears to my eyes. The creators managed to make literally everyone look unimaginable powerful.

“On those guns. NOW” in the most marcus pheonix voice ever 5:12

Star wars has still so much potential.. So much lore. So much to learn.

Swtor is criminally underrated imo

2:14 Satele is already sensing the 'darkness' from the Force... that kind of sensitivity is really, really, really rare. Also, the hat that the smuggler has... Cad Bane would kill for that.

Satele Shan (The girl from the first 2 with the double bladed saber) eventually becomes the Grandmaster of the Jedi Order, and is the direct descendant of not only Bastilla Shan (A very powerful Jedi Master who has experience in both the light and dark sides of the force), but Reven, who is one of the most powerful and influential beings to exist during the old republic, and was like the Anakin of his era.

Fun fact during the second clip when the trooper detonates the grenade in his hand, the Jedi Satele uses the Force to protect him from the blast, if you watch closely you'll see a blue shield in front of him when he's sent flying back.

I've watched these videos sooooo many times and they never fail to give me chills!!! The stylization and design and story are so good.

so cool that you got to enjoy these cinematics. they're so fantastic and so much fun :)

It was the cinematics that showed me that the makers understood Star Wars, and I happily gave my money to play. It was playing the game and having to smack things over and over again with a lightsaber like it was a florescent pillow fight that showed me that the makers had no understanding of Star Wars and I took my money home.

Tenebrae/ Vitiate was one of the most powerful Sith capable to go full ghost and take over the bodies of other people like Valkorion. It was not a 3rd party, it was still Sith and turned his children Sith. That is why he was distant and despised when the 2 twin brothers got along. And he was pleased when one killed the other.

Really late on this but just to nail down some of the basics of the armies of the Old Republic and Sith Empire. The Old Republic troopers aren’t clones but basically people who joined the Republics army. Almost like the Empire conscripting civilians to become stormtroopers, but the Old Republic troopers were trained to fight any sith. As they were actually trained to combat force wielders. Now a lot of the lower sith warriors weren’t trained as well as say Vader, Dooku, and Sidious but played their role as an army. Same goes with the Sith Empire troopers who basically the opposite of the Old Republic troopers but weren’t trained to fight Jedi as most Jedi were a lot more skilled than most sith acolytes or warriors.

I love these cinematics! They are so good. Though some of these (#2 & 3) were with "updated" narrations, and I (personally) prefer the Original narrations. "That soldier is a BEAST!" - I loved that part the most! It showed that while 'yes', Sith & Jedi ARE more powerful (and can use the Force to enhance themselves physically to be more powerful too) than most people, they are NOT unbeatable nor indestructible. So, if you are strong & capable, you'll "probably" still lose, but you might as well TRY.

11:30 "but then, I won't be surprised if he survived" **Malgus, that got resurrected like 6 or so times**

Would love to see a movie with this animation with Revan and Bastila, perhaps a "what if" with either light or dark side

Lightsaber colors were always, ultimately, cosmetic lol. or to fit the tone of a character.

Satele is able to block the lightsaber blade for a short time the same way Vader was able to deflect Han's blaster bolts on Bespin with his hands. Some Jedi lines had the ability to absorb and redirect energy. Skywalker, Revan and Halcyon lines are the most commonly known to have this ability.

12:55 Indeed that's an Old Republic Mandalorian, her name's Shae Vizla

Disney NEEDS to take some tips from Bioware people from this age, HOLY SHIT these trailers are like cocaine

loved watching this haha, glad to see you enjoyed the trailers!

game was great too, theyjust fell short releasing timely content and fixing bugs. but still one of my favorite MMO's

Blur Studio did the trailers. All their stuff is top notch. (They also did the opening of Deadpool) by the way, if you enjoyed the SWtOR trailers, they did some really epic trailers for Elder Scrolls Online too. And thanks for sharing a genuine reaction trailer.

The game was pretty fun - I really enjoyed the stories and characters.

Grew up watching these and wish star wars could be like this

Ive always called these cinematics mini movies And its just that good And the fact they end up being so important in terms of some story context For example the jedi leading the defence of the temple who falls to the badass that is darth malgus His death is a focal point for a companion quest for the jedi knight character, that conpanion being the droid T7 who we see in both return and deceived

Some of these cinematic trailers I'm wondering why someone hasn't turned into a full-fledged movie that you can see in the theater.

There are actually two different force techniques that would explain how she could block a lightsaber with her bare hands. The first is called tutaminis and is basically just absorbing energy from outside sources and using it as a temporary boost to your force powers. The second is the ability to embeu

Thermal detonators aren't what they used to be. Blows up right in your face, and you're fine. It's like the bombs on the old Loony Tunes shows.

By the way, Warrior Humble, don't know if anybody is told you in the comments but the Beast is Satele Shan's (Super Jedi) husband. Anybody trying to hack up her fella tends to get on her Dark Side! Also, how she blocked Malgus' lightsaber with her hand is the advanced form of Tutaminis, like what Yoda used used to capture or redirect Tyranus' and Sidious' Force lightning. Though Shan is only one ever to do that against a Sith of Malgus' power. That's one lady who is a perfect combination of lovely and lethal! Yes, that is Malgus and the Twi'lek who came with him was his wife. He later sacrificed her to the Dark Side to sever his last Light Side emotion, love.

2:18 not really, that there is Nico Okarr 26:35 that is a popular misunderstanding, the rule of two that Darth Bane set up didn't mean only 2 Sith and exist. it meant that the master will always have an apprentice that plots to overthrow him or her

Good old times.When been traspased by a lightsaber was deadly.😊

I hope Yule Brenner's estate got royalties because that horned guy in the first clip is obviously Yule Brenner. Even the voice is similar.

5:35 That's because it's made by the same company (Corellian Engineering Corporation). It's a heavily-modified XS Stock Light Freighter. Also, the XS SLF is the predecessor to the YT-1000, which is the predecessor to the YT-1300, the model that the Millennium Falcon is. 10:40 Tuteminis. Same Force ability Yoda used in ROTS to absorb Darth Sidious' Force Lightning. Except Jedi of the Old Republic era could use it to a far higher degree. 12:55 A Mandalorian named Shae Vizla (aka. Mandalore the Avenger). She is *not* a Vizsla (as-in Tarre, Tor, and Pre Vizsla). Her name is just similar. 16:24 Not quite. In Legends/Pre-Disney canon, yellow sabers were used in the modern era by Sentinel-class Jedi and Jedi Temple Guards. However, thousands of years ago, there existed a third Force Order, called the Eternal Empire. They were neither Jedi Order nor Sith Empire. Not benevolent like the Jedi, but not straight-up evil like the Sith, either. This faction was wiped out LONG before the modern era. And within it, only Arcann and Thexan wielded yellow-bladed sabers. Everyone else wielded blue sabers (the Knights of Zakuul). 19:27 The thing was that there could only be ONE son to inherit the Eternal Throne. But unfortunately, Valkorion/Darth Vitiate had twin sons. So he was dissatisfied that both kept returning (and therefore neither was stronger than the other). But when Arcann gave in to his hate and tried to kill Valkorion, (killing Thexan in the process), he proved himself worthy. Which is why Valkorion finally calls Arcann "son." 21:42 No. The daughter (Vaylin) was taken by her father (Valkorion) for training because she proved herself immensely powerful. But the mother (Senya) didn't want that.

Not a thermal detonator, a pulse grenade. Chiefly made for pushing through special armor, disabling tech, or fighting droids. It's actually rather subpar for use against organic creatures. Which is why they both survived.

Really want me to go back being Sith Juggernuat

that soldier dude is Jace Malcom later he becomes Supreme Commander of the Republic Military :p

Yeah the mother was motheer to the Twins and Valen (the girl). She didn't want her to be treated as basically a Spartan warrior like the boys, so she wanted her to hide her Force sensitivity. But the Eternal Emperor could sense she was stronger (and more evil) than both the boys, so he took her. Turned out Valen LIKED being evil and having power so she willingly left the mother, and even fought her. The Emperor treated the twin boys similar to Spartans, trained from birth for battle where only the strrong deserve to survive, but the twins loved each other, so were both failures in his eyes. A complex story, but utterrly brilliant, possibly the best story in the SW universe. Shame it never got made into a real movie.

10:36 Tutaminis. The ability to stop or deflect energy with the force. It's how Vader stops blaster bolts with his hand and how Yoda stops Force Lightning. It can also be used to stop a Lightwave, but it is extremely unlikely for one to do as it leaves them exposed to force attacks or physical

11:36 - That's Darth Malgus, one of the main badguys.

Legends Star Wars is the Best.

its a big statement to introduce yourself as a Star Wars fan (and gamer) when somehow not seeing these trailers at all in last 12~ years they were out :P But yeah these are really good, and overall i think old republic era is the coolest one with most craziest and awesome characters. Also it's worth to point out at that time both Jedi and Siths were much more powerful, like being able to stop a lightsaber with hands, it's not an easy skill that everyone can use (dont quote me on that but i believe this is similiar to what Yoda used in movies to stop Palpatin's electricity), but this is one of skills that was lost in time And battles like Jedi vs Sith were not uncommon, at least until famous battle where Darth Bane killed of all Siths and created rule of 2

I have followed Star Wars sins 1977, this videos for me is just amazing. I have read all the books (no comics). Please before I pass away, give me a Old Republic movie, please...

disney couldj ust give us 1 hour 30 minutes movie with this cg quality and fight and everyone will be happy, but nope they just need to do something weird

Zakkuul empire. .. Valkarion is sith emporer Vitiate.. the twins and girl are all siblings

And Disney wonders why we have such high expectations to what's made with SW.

4000 years before the prequels. The techonology is the same. The species are the same.

For a Star Wars fan and a gamer, I really surprised you haven't played any of the early Star Wars games ( Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 1 & 2) or the MMO(what you're watching the trailers for). I highly recommend all of them.

Love your reaction. You seem like a chill dude. We're about the same age and have the same interests. I watch a lot of reaction vids so I'm gonna give you some friendly advice. When we're watching reaction videos we want to see the video you're reacting to (You've got that down), but we also want to see your reaction to the video. What I'm getting at here, is that your frame in the top right of the screen is actually too small. I kept moving my eyes from the video to you and from you to the video. The fix: Blow up your frame a bit :)

If you want more ideas for doing reactions then warhammer total war trailers are fantastic

And then you ask yourself why cant we have any Star Wars series taking place in the old republic. Also why are some Disney executives pretending like there is no background lore to use when making tv series about Star Wars. There was no point to invent high republic when old republic offers so many chances to tell stories with really interesting characters.

If you haven’t you should check out the game trailer for ‘Dead Island’(2012?) - it is amazing 😎

You actually listened to the redubbed version of trailers 2 and 3, named "Hope" and "Deceived" respectively, and while I think the redub for Hope works well enough (I still prefer the original) the redub on Deceived is such a downgrade. Like in the original version Darth Malgus talks about how the Jedi thought themselves safe back in the republic core, but that they were deceived and as a consequence of their arrogance the Republic would fall. This was all in reference to a massive plan by the Sith Empire, wherein they set up peace treaties with the Republic. The Republic, thinking themselves safe, diverted a lot of their forces away from Coruscant and towards the treaty. So while the treaty was still going, Darth Malgus led a strike team to Coruscant, taking advantage of the reduced security, and basically took the entire planet hostage, so that the Republic had no choice but to relent to the Empire's terms at the treaty. The Deceived cinematic told that story and the original dub specifically referred to the Sith Empire's plan that I just explained. But then they just changed the dub to a generic "I'm a Sith, REVENGE!" monologue with nothing of real substance behind it. I'll never understand what drove them to make that choice.

NICE

That father is actually the eternal emperor who left the Sith empire, he was once known as Lord Vitiate, he is a being of great power who is able to come back after death, he can use the force to move his spirit into a new body, literally recreate himself. I have a theory that Palpatine is also the same.

all im saying is if disney can get rid of its obsession with name recognition and trying to connect everything and anything to the original trilogy, they could probably make a good star wars story, they have hundreds of things from the expanded lore to choose from, the old republic and kotor could make for some of the best story telling ever. why not have something around the gray jedi, why is it always light side unilaterally good, sith are evil for the sake of being evil. and they conquer just to conquer can we add SOME complexity with the empire, it was like that even in the OG trilogy.

also new sub

So here is a perfect example of how you do over powered force combat. I understand why the og and prequels couldn't exactly do this but the sequels with all the cgi available nowadays have no excuse.

These cinematics are better than the entire Disney Starwars output. In fact with its quality of world building & chatacters, why they haven't just given us an Old Republic movie or series yet is beyond me 🙄🤔

The original speech from the Treaty of Coruscant is way better.

The Force Unleashed 1 & 2 trailers are the most bad ass!

Back when star wars had scale, world building, and emotion. Disney really messed up

You....were deceived!

Bioware kind of treated the light and dark side more nutral than Disney does. Not spoiling but the Jedi do some shady stuff and the Sith can sometimes be in the right ironically. The examples they use are bot of outliers bit you can be a "good" sith in the mmo. Game before that brought up some good points besides you get to shoot lightning from your hands if you join us.

Its 3000yrs before TPM

Disney has all the rights to this but we still have no old republic stuff, sitting on a gold mine with already made content yet we get garbage

Um there are a few more trailers after Knights of the Eternal Throne.

You are missing a trailer... but love the reactions

They changed all of Malgus' dialogue in the 4K Deceived trailer and it annoys me lol

these are fantastic, whats wrong with the sound?

allso watch the new trailer Disorder

The game takes place around 3000 years before the movies. The first three trailers are what takes place before the start of the game. The game starts around 20 years after the third trailer, the sacking on Coruscant. A peace treat took place shortly after. You start the game as the cold war is about to become a hot one.

When a 5-min game trailers have better storytelling, a much deeper plot, and much better character development than all Disney full length movies combined

The third faction is called Zakuul(I was corrected it is called The Eternal Empire). The Twins, Thexan(Black) and Arcann(White) and sister Valen are children from the Valkorion and Senya Tirall. Don't want to spoil so I will say that the third faction is built to defeat the Empire and Republic. It is supposed to be the perfect "Empire" basically. Anyways hope that helps. Play the game, if you love Star Wars then the story as your Character is amazing. You will spend hundreds of hours just doing story all about your Character. You pretty much saw all the classes you can play in these trailers. Each class has their own class story and some are better than others. The main story though is amazing. Even if you don't like MMO's you can actually play story only by yourself. That is what makes SWTOR unique and at the same time detrimental to itself. Solo play.

The Choreography is what does it for me, its all so freaking well done, the beats and camera the pacing all flow so well for me.

In the original trailer versions of these 2 cinematics that I have seen, the dialogue here 7:30, 11:48 and here 12:29, 14:56 is quite different. I liked that other dialogue a bit better than the one from this video. And the original dialogue makes a bit more sense (here at 14:56) with how Malgus' mouth area was moving here, since in the original one he says what is said directly to the defeated Jedi: "You were deceived! And now your Republic shall fall!" "Deceived" is also the name of that cinematic btw. So the old dialogue makes more sense also in that regard.

Glad to see you liked the trailers. Pretty spectacular all around, especially since some of those have been around since like 2010. However, you did miss the newest trailer, 'Disorder'. Also, for whatever reason the video you picked with all the trailers had the re-dubbed versions of the second and third trailers (Hope and Deceived). IMO the original voiceovers for those trailers are a lot better and I'm not sure why the newer voiceovers exist, so check out the original versions of both trailers if you're interested.

10:38 "How is she doing that?" The force skill Tutanimis (Energy Absorption). Same thing Vader did on Cloud City when he 'caught' those blaster bolts with the palm of his glove.

Can't get over how awesome these trailers look. Would love some animated Star Wars movies that look like this. We need an KOTOR movie or series. We want Keanu as Revan.

You got the watered down revoiced trailers. The original Deceived trailer is so much better.

That soldier is HAVOC squad. Hoo-fucking-ra!

I'm sure other people have pointed this out but looking back as a SWTOR player to the first player, it's absolutely genius. They show off what the 4 main classes are in the game using their main weapons (Smuggler with his blasters, the Commando cannon, Satele's version of the Jedi Sage and her master as the Jedi Knight). They also give you a hint of the on-rails space combat attack missions in the game at the time from the smuggler ship escaping the Empire cruisers. Finally, the fight between Jedi and Sith is the most beautifully choreographed Star Wars fight that exists in my opinion with Light and Dark side mirroring each other flawlessly, down to small details like Satele giving her master her lightsaber while Malgus forcefully takes his master's weapon from his fallen body. Not to mention the beautiful transitions from Jedi Guardian to Jedi Sentinel ( 2 lightsabers) that leads to the defeat of the Sith Assassin and then Malgus goes from Sith Juggernaut to Sith Marauder and wins the fight.

Hey everyone, many of the comments is saying I missed one trailer that was the most recent that came out and it is the "Disorder" Legacy of the Sith trailer. Here is the link to the reaction video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zfUu9PyUbHU.html

Seeing these trailers again fills me with both nostalgia and sadness. Nostalgia, because I played this MMO for years with a bunch of friends ever since it released. Sadness, because just look at this material. Why can't they give us Star Wars movies that go this hard? So much wasted potential.

Havoc Squad are the ultimate badasses of Republic troopers, who sometimes have to face sith- and sometimes win. But Darth Malgus is both a Beast, and Based af.

Satele Shan's Zabrak Jedi Master, from the first trailer, was using a lightsaber in one hand and a double lightsaber in the other hand. The first character I made was a Zabrak Jedi Knight / Sentinel / Watchman. In this guy's honor.

And this is what we dreamed of modern star wars and this is what we tend to compare them to. The story, the choreography, the cinematography! It was fantastic!!

These trailers were incredibly well done.

Oh Boi thanks for reminding me how much i loved star wars before disney ^^

Tenebrae, is only name you wanna look up if you wont have time to play game...

There are also some amazing books that go along with these trailers that I highly recommend. Especially the one that takes place the same time as the Coruscant trailer.

The “FOR THE REPUBLIC” always gets me hyped

With lore so rich I just can't believe how the sequel trilogy just drops the ball

Should have watched the originals, the voice over for the 2nd and third trailers is better.

The first three trailers were the launch trailers, and every character you see in them you meet in game. The last two were expansions

If you do the original Old Republic storylines with all the extra quests, it tells a lot of the history on both sides. All 8 storylines are unique, some better than others, but gives a different perspective of the time back then. The lore that is laid is very fascinating. The amount of voice actors is also amazing. It was like over 200 voice actors.
