The only good part of this game was the first release. The individual class stories, the worlds, it was great. The gameplay was basically WoW in space, but the stories and voice acted quests and cut scenes were just wonderful. I got in on this at the beginning. But the subsequent expansions just did not match up. They didn't make enough money to keep going with their plans and had to combine all the class stories into one. It failed due to not making enough money. But the base game is good enough to go through each of the class stories. Standouts are the Imperial Agent and the Jedi Knight.

The thing ya gotta understand about Malgus, is that word "juggernaut" was made for him. This man tanks so much damage throughout his life and he *never* stays down. He's taken a rocket to the face, a grenade at point blank, had cliff dropped on him, been thrown into the heart of his own exploding fortress, and more and none of it has been able to put him in the ground. Hell, at one point he had a bomb put in his neck to keep in line and he cut it out with his own lightsaber, killed the crew of the ship he was in, and fucked off on his own. This man casually chucked a member of the Dark Council off a cliff when she tried to attack him, as if he was swatting a fly. Malgus is one of the strongest and most durable Sith of the Old Republic. He started his own army when the Sith disappointed him and took enough men with him that he was fighting both the Republic and the Empire and doing a damn good job.

i like it because because its more mmorpg than mmo. you have companions so if you aren't in a party or playing with mates you can still play the game through as an rpg, they also modified the game so that each class storyline can be played by any of the classes, so the jedi warrior (classic jedi) can be played by any of the four jedi classes, each with different abilities, ie one can use stealth, one is more force powers, two lightsaber wielder, one lightaber wielder with the sith being mirrors of the jedi.

There was something so special about that and having to plan out your abilities and load outs (I even had an IOS app to help me plan my characters stats and abilities) I will say that although it’s lost a lot of its charm of being a legitimately competitive RPG, it kind of had to be done for the longevity of the game. It was NOT very beginner friendly when it first released and people tapered off because you had to grind out levels like a standard MMORPG. Now that you’ve removed a lot of those barriers, a LOT more people are able to pick it up and play through the whole game because they can focus on the story and not having to be occupied by stat and ability optimization When you think about it on a grand scale, SWTOR being able to adapt is what has kept the lights on for over a decade when a lot of MMORPGS would’ve either stopped updating or closed the game altogether.

Which means even a bunch of Jedi could defeat them, we already know of Obi-Wan and Meetra Surik. Maul and Nihilus are easily the most overrated characters, in terms of power. The only Sith who compares to Tenebrae is like you said, good old Sheevy. And they would rekt anyone who isn't Grandmaster Luke. I mean, even if Sheevy lost against Mace, he would still rank far above him in Episode 6. Although, I believe he threw that fight, so that he could play the victim and turn Anakin. If we're talking peaks, Sheevy is simply one of the strongest characters in the verse. And yet some kids think Knightfall Vader could take him. Well, the master is the master for a reason, because the apprentice isn't strong enough to overthrow him. So I don't get how people sleep on Sheevy's power levels, all it takes is logic.

[@JadusMoltriel]

@Sandlund93 Everything you just wrote is 1000% accurate. Nice to see objective fans who know their Sith lore. People get blinded by their biases for their favorite characters too often, then argue relentlessly to supplement their head-canon. Nihilus is cool, but by FAR the main reason he gets the attention and fans he does, is due to his physical appearance. As kids, we gravitate towards the coolest looking ones, but some people can't separate in their head the difference between liking a character versus understanding how that character fits in the world and compares to others. Also, a big reason so many people hype up the various Ancient Sith in general, is because in any fantasy world, "ancient" evils have a certain draw to their awe factor, especially if they're obscure in the lore, mysterious, or not well known by the overall fanbase. People get blinded by the "ancient" adjective so that their enjoyment of those Sith clouds their view of everything else. Plus, another big part, is a lot of fans think the various Sith mentioned in the Kotor games and various books aren't known by most of the fans, so they get a superiority complex when they comment "Sidious was nothing compared to Marka Ragnos or Exar Kun", because they think it makes them cooler to show they know lore others don't. The funny thing is, WAY more fans know about all these Sith than people think, so it's not a flex, and it's just an objectively false statement. People take Kreia's quote out of context to support this, too. When she told Meetra the Sith of old were so much stronger, that was in relation to their present time. Kreia had no knowledge of the beings to exist 3000 years later, and thus her statement can't be applied to them. Bane's line vastly increased the individual Sith's power, progressing each generation, climaxing in Sidious. Nobody but Vitiate and Grandmaster Luke can compare to him (for non-divine characters, I mean). Some people just don't want to accept Sidious' role and rank. They see the films, which show but a fraction of his strength, and think that's all Sidious is. Lol

To clear some things up ; These were the trailers for Star Wars: The Old Republic (SWTOR), an MMO. Basically Star Wars version of World of Warcraft gameplay wise. There are storylines in the game for each class, it's still pretty fun to play single player, and its free. The first 3 trailers were for the base game, and then the second 3 were for the expansion Knights of the Eternal Throne, the ones about the family with the yellow lightsabers and all that. Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic (KOTOR) is an RPG that was a release title for the original Xbox in 2003. Single player with strategic combat where you control your character and 2 party members in combat, and you can pause to queue up actions and strategize. KOTOR and KOTOR 2 are some of the best Star Wars games out there, highly recommend.

He was known by the Names of "Darth Vitiate", "Tenebrae" and "Valkorion", but most commonly he is known in the Game as "The Sith Emperor". Most importantly historically he was the one responsible for turning Revan and Malak to the dark side. His "biggest" accomplishment was the Treaty of Coruscant. The Women in White at 22:11 is not the daughter, that is the Mother of that little girl and more importantly, the WIFE of the Emperor.

class stories are 100% still worth playing , the game aged quite well actually .

[@RedmoonIndustries]

The first three trailers are what launched the game. 4 Archetypes for each side. Create and play through the game with 8 characters to see the whole story meeting the people you saw in the trailers. The next two trailers (just like the last one) are expansions, Two expansions with basically a Republic and Sith storyline to it. Last trailer is I'm guessing more of the same. But I didn't even know about it till I saw it here. The BEST part is that since it's an MMO and your decisions matter, you can actually be a Light Side Sith or a Dark Side Jedi... You asked about who the main character is, and it's Your Character.

I always find it interesting watching people react to those trailers who aren't giant Star Wars nerds like I am. For anyone curious, the ability Satele uses to "block" the lightsaber in the second trailer is called Tutaminus; it's the same thing Yoda uses to absorb Dooku's lightning in Episode 2. She is basically absorbing the energy of the Lightsaber instead of it going in and harming her 🤯 PS: Yes Malgus was a beast, he was basically Vader before Vader came around

honestly, i can understand swtor being described as an mmo for those who don't like mmos. I talked about a list of mmos that I played for a few months to a year and completely forgot about swtor being a mmo despite having played it for atleast 7+ years. Even now I can't really recall the multiplayer aspects, aside from "guilds" and housings, but I remember loving the story. These trailers kind of makes me want to play it again. Especially since I can't recall alot of the story now so maybe I can have a sort of fresh experience again.

[@kirbyjohnson8417]

What i love about the multiplayer aspect..is when your in a gruop and do a cutscene the whole gruop is featured. and they all get to pick a responce and the game rolls dice and determines who talks...and that character takes center stage in the cut scene. It brings the whole party together and is awesome. Other MMOs yall turn in a quest together and everyone gets there click and its just ok we grouped but have nothing to do with each other, in this yer all part of the story and yall share it together...was awesome.

Right? The dialogue is way better in the original deceived trailer. The dialogue in this “Deceived” trailer just sounds really off and doesn’t fit or match the trailer.

Knights of the Old Republic was what came before this, since you were wondering. Satele Shan is the descendent of Revan and Bastila Shan, which is one of the reasons she's got such a strong connection to the Force. The Old Republic takes place about 300 years after Knights of the Old Republic. As for the lightsaber bit where Satele blocked the blade, bit of old, old lore and an ability called tutaminis - basically a form of energy absorption. Extremely rare ability, but at its height it could allow the user to actually grab hold of lightsaber blades or block blaster bolts barehanded as you saw here.

[@asxulxetesteronsxez538]

SWTOR is indeed an MMO for people who do t like MMOs. It’s best to think of it as a solo game featuring 8 character stories, that allows each character to play missions with other players. Each story takes place shortly after KOTOR II. It’s basically a multiplayer KOTOR III as an MMO.

You guys would like this game. Contrary to most MMOs it has decent overarching general story and the class stories is where it shines the most. There are 2 factions: Republic and Empire. A ton of various races (some available from the get go, others you can purchase). Each faction has 4 backgrounds. For the Republic it's Jedi Knight, Jedi Consular, Smuggler and Trooper. For the Empire we have Sith Warrior, Sith Inquisitor, Bounty Hunter and Agent. Each of those backgrounds has their own story in game with twists, turns, betrayals and unexpected friendships/romances. Also, while Republic stories will try to lead you on a good path and Imperial on a darker one, nothing prevents you from playing a villainous Republic or a heroic Imperial character and the story will often recognise your choices and either reward or punish them accordingly.

Sure, those are the norms so you could play out your fantasies of being a lawful good jedi or a chaotic evil sith, but you could also explore beyond that, good empire characters actually being convincing and fun in their own way.

Jedi Knights: "...what?"

[@ScoutLeader]

Sorry, bit of an info-dump but backstory here. SWTOR is set 3600 years before the original trilogy. The father from Sacrifice and Betrayed is Valkorion - he's the third named persona of the Sith Emperor. Before KOTOR, a Pureblood Sith (same species as Vindican from Returned) called Tenebrae (first persona) was born with pure black eyes, crazy amount of power and a lack of emotion and attachment to his family. He killed said family, ruled over his planet, gained the title of Lord Vitiate from the Sith Empire, secretly rebuilt the Sith Empire after the Jedi wiped it out on Dromund Kaas and consumed all life on Nathema to become immortal, leaving it a lifeless husk, and took the title of Emperor. Vitiate was the one who manipulated the Mandalorians to attack the Republic, starting the events leading to KOTOR and turning Revan and Malak to the Dark Side. And after KOTOR II, Revan and the Exile (Meetra Surik) tried to kill the Emperor, only to fail as Surik was killed and Revan was kept prisoner. This near-death experience caused Vitiate to perform another which would enable himself to transfer his essence from body to body, dominating the owner's mind completely and speaking with Vitiate's voice. While he transferred his essence from body to body, calling them Voice of the Emperor, he also lost interest in the Sith Empire, and instead split his essence in two, and transferred the majority of his essence into a man from Zakuul (the planet we see in Sacrifice and Betrayed) called Valkorion, instead merging with his body to imprint Vitiate's immortality onto Vakorion's body. This resulted in Vitiate speaking with Valkorion's voice while in Valkorion's body, instead of Vitiate's voice. 300 years later when "The Sith Empire has returned!" (seen in Return), Satele Shan (Jedi with blue dualsaber) Jace Malcom (trooper) and Nico Okarr (smuggler with Bender's voice) managed to get to Coruscant and tell the Republic. Satele and Jace returned to the Jedi Order and Republic Army, respectively, while Nico (now possibly not aging thanks to the Sith relics he had) disappeared. War broke out, and after losing the Battle of Alderaan (seen in Hope), the Empire decided to feign peace treaty talks with the Republic while Malgus (Sith with respirator) would sack Coruscant (seen in Deceived). This led to less-than-favourable terms for the Republic as the Treaty of Coruscant was signed; essentially, all conflicts would end, and Imperials would leave Coruscant, but the Republic would surrender seven star systems and Imperials would be authorised to engage Republic forces & personnel violating the treaty, complying or not. Fun fact, Satele and Jace got together for six months after the Battle of Alderaan. But Satele grew concerned that Jace's revenge against the Empire was becoming too self-destructive, so she left him. She discovered she was pregnant afterward, and so asked a Jedi master to raise her baby (Theron Shan) and to train him, when she realised that her desire to protect her son had no boundaries. Theron later joined the Strategic Information Service after finding out he was not Force-Sensitive, and Jace didn't know he had a son until years later. When the last Voice of the Emperor (Darth Vitiate, the second persona and his prominent voice) was struck down by the Hero of Tython (the player's Jedi Knight character), Vitiate's essence escaped to Yavin 4 to recover, and then Ziost, which he performed the same ritual on Ziost itself and consumed all of its life, gaining enough strength to return to his essence in Valkorion and consolidate himself completely in one body. During Valkorion's time on Zakuul, he built up an Eternal Empire which would be strong enough to crush the Republic and Empire simultaneously. He also began an affair with a woman named Senya (the woman from Betrayed), who bore him twins (Arcann, in white, and Thexan, in black, from Sacrifice) and a daughter (Vaylin, from Betrayed). He remained indifferent to the twins, while secretly favouring Thexan over Arcann, so "I was not expecting the white-cloaked one to turn evil" really does fit. But Vaylin was the one who inherited his immense power. When Senya expressed her concerns, his 'solution' was to take her to Nathema (the same place he performed his first ritual) and lock her power behind mental blocks (whenever anyone spoke "Kneel before the Dragon of Zakuul", she would become completely helpless) while breaking her mentally and physically. She ended up mentally unstable and essentially a monster, and wrongly blamed Senya for it. Again, "The programming they did to her" really fits. Again, sorry for the huuuge information dump, but SWTOR has a TON of backstory and lore :)

I'm so glad y'all reacted to this. The Old Republic in my opinion in the best Star Wars media we have despite it not being canon. These trailers are for the MMO game that came out in December of 2011 & it still holds to this day. I still play it and you can play as light or dark (4 different classes for each aka 8 in total). In terms of the story technically this takes place WAYYYYY before The Phantom Menace, back when there were just as many Sith as there were Jedi. The first 3 trailers y'all watched were to show the war between the Republic and the Sith Empire as well as setting up key characters like Darth Malgus, Master Satele Shan and Malcom. The 2 trailers after that were to set up 2 extended stories which includes a 3rd party faction that's just as many not more powerful than the Republic and Sith Empire. The 3rd party is called the Eternal Empire btw. Lastly, the final trailer was setting up the game's newest story extension so yeah 😁😎

OMG I'm so glad you checked out these trailers, they are top tier, not just for Star Wars but game trailers in general! A few things I want to point out, don't worry they won't contain any spoilers for the main storyline, just providing some corrections/context: - As the name states, this game takes place during the Old Republic so thousands of years before the Skywalker Saga. Specifically, it takes place around 3650 to 3640 BBY which is about 300 years after when Knights of the Old Republic (KOTOR) game takes place. - As you can see this is a time when the Sith had their own order so there were just as many Sith as there were Jedi and the conflicts went absolutely insane! - That dude in the suit who you saw take a grenade and plasma blast and still keep fighting was Darth Malgus. I won't say what he does but he's a major character during this period. - You probably know this part already but those guys you saw in the red and white armor aren't clones. Both the Republic and the Sith Empire recruited their own soldiers during this period and they even fought alongside battle droids and force users. I won't say more for the risk of getting into spoilers but if you ever choose to check out the game, I would highly recommend it. I used to play it all the time and it was a lot of fun! It admittedly has changed a lot since releasing back in 2011 but if you're picking it up for the first time it's a fun ride.

[@inspector_beyond]

You've probably already checked out the game, but just in case, there are two things about The Old Republic: There's "Knights of the Old Republic", a Single-Player RPG made by BioWare, who later on in the career will create Dragon Age and Mass Effect series. And there is "The Old Republic:, also made by BioWare, but now it's an MMO, which back in the day was one of the contenders to be a "WoW killer", but just like others, it failed at being that. But unlike WoW, the experience in the Old Republic is more narrative than typical MMO one, so the focus is in the questing, which ALL are voiced (een side-quests) until more recent updates (understandable considering when the game was released) and you can do Sotry missions with your party members (though you have to enable that option in the settings). But be advised, that the game has 4 classes (which are now called Origin stories): Two Force user ones and two gunner ones for each side of the barrickades - Republic and Empire, so in total of 8 fully voiced vanilla story-lines. Why I said warned? Because FOrce users start on one planet and Gunners start on the other, so you have to finish starting planets' main storyline until you'll be able to connect with your Gunner friends if you chose to be a FOrce user. In short - if you wanna start together from the start, you gotta pick one of each Force user class. Also, these Old Republic games are set at least 4 thousand years before Phantom Menace. So no, those Republic warriors are not Clones and the Sith Empire is not THE Empire you know from the Original trilogy. And now to quickly explain why you gotta turn on the option to play Story missions together with your party. All important stuff in quests happen in Instance areas, to whcih ou are not able to access without a quest or because you are playing as the wrong class or not in a group. So, if you'll pick FOrce user classes, you'll need to play some of the class' instances twice, because the progress of that instance is tracked only for the instance owner. I think that's all you gotta know before playing this game, everything else is explainable inside the game. Have fun.

And this was better then anything Disney put out

That's not fair

[@neutchain7838]

@@daurydavis3983 I mean it kinda is. Rouge one was great, Andor as well but except a few good episodes/moments in the sea of TV shows Disney put out there is really nothing that comes even close to this. Games wise...zero. Fallen Order was great but the scope of the story is not even close and didn't add much to the lore except a few really cool Order 66 scenes.

Not really hard.

@@neutchain7838 thought they were OK and missed opportunities tbh. Still better than a lot of the trash that came out later. This game had hardcore plots and excitement when it came out and several expansions later disney stopped updating it (very much) and it became woke placeholder content like the movies.

To answer the question on the first trailer, yes, the voice of Nico Okarr (the cowboy gunslinger) was indeed voiced by John DiMaggio.

just imagine the time line in which all of those modern adaptions were given to people that actually like the source material. Instead we got... well..we all know what we got.
