Kreia is the best character Star Wars ever produced. 😢

[@zograf4572]

She and Vitiate-Valkorion.

[@miklosszabo4551]

That's just facts

[@gambit_elstar]

The Exile, Revan and R2-D2, HK-47 are good too)

[@iordanmares4414]

For a moment... I felt like I was sitting there, inside of a Malachor V Academy hall... Hearing Kreia... Watching Darth Treya... And being prepared to embrace the full power of the force, unleashed from the bounds of the light side and harvesting the power of the dark side... Awesome AI content!!! Thank you for sharing!

[@MrMortull]

Sounds a lot more like Revan's philosophy than Kreia's, to be honest. Being directly addressed across the 4th wall by an AI talking about the "invisible forces shaping your world" had me sitting up and paying attention, though.

[@blakereed1654]

You’re not wrong, but what’s beautiful about Revan’s path and philosophy is that Kreia ultimately subscribed to his way of thinking later in her life, and continued his work to reveal where his path ended. It is scary how well the AI understood her character…

[@dreadrath]

@@blakereed1654 Add to that that Revan also learned a lot from Kreia, it was her teachings that served as the foundations Revan began building on, then he started forming his own views, which Kreia in turn learned from. In many ways the two of them had a massive influence on oneanother even after their paths diverged.

[@tw1st3ds0ul9]

This video popped up randomly while I'm playing KOTOR II... I haven't even watched a video on KOTOR in over a year. Nor have I played KOTOR in a few months. The need for a good RPG just hit me. At first, I thought I was listening to Captain Janeway speaking as Kreia until I picked up my phone to find out. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this, and it represents how I've viewed Kreia since I first played this game. Well done.

[@markosic9928]

Time proved her right,in years,decades,centuries after her demise Valkorion came with his empire and brought utter destruction for both Jedi and Sith.Only united they were able to survive,wilingly or not they walked her path and they made it. Exeptional Charakter.

[@jayhernandez5508]

Interesting point of view, but I don't think it lines up with GL's concepts of the Force and balance. I thought balance was the absence of dark side wielders (cancer). Not the absence of the dark side, itself (fear, anger, death, decay)

[@LukeSilverstar1000]

Didn’t expect Kreia to break the four the wall and lapse into Hermetic philosophy, but I’m here for it. I wish the voice was a little more like the real Kreia, though. That voice is at least 45% of why I like her! I enjoyed this. I’d love to see more of Kreia’s musings. I could listen to her for hours.

[@EchoesOfImaginations]

Thank you for the feedback :) feel free to check out some later videos on this channel - you might find the voice improved a bit

[@adronius147]

While it's true that Kreia's teachings definitely do not align with those of the Jedi and though they lean more towards the philosophy of the Sith in some ways she inherently rejects it as well, but that's because Kreia wants to do away with the Force entirely, not advocate for some kind of nonsensical equilibrium between it and its corruption. _That_ was the philosophy of the Je'daii, and their inevitable fracture and reformation into the Jedi was due to the fact that it was wrong.

[@DrMustacho]

But the jedi keep fracturing as well

[@adronius147]

@@DrMustacho I wouldn't call one or two members every few generations over thousands years falling to the dark side "fracturing".

[@DrMustacho]

@@adronius147 kotor revolves around the jedi civil war, that's where she joined the dark side

[@adronius147]

​@@DrMustacho Fair point, but it's still different. The Jedi during the civil war were almost wiped out and had a significant portion of their order fall into darkness not because their fundamental view of the Force was wrong, but because the council was plagued with arrogance (Vrook Lamar), cowardice (Zez-Kai Ell) and shortsightedness (Kavar), blindly clinging to the virtues their order stands for and utterly convinced of their infallibility whilst lacking the backbone to actually acknowledge the crises the galaxy was facing and taking action, effectively forcing the youngest and most action-ready members of their order like Revan and Surik to go out and make things happen in spite of the council. It's no wonder so many of them ended up defecting to the Sith, and it's those very same shortcomings that were the downfall of the Jedi Order again four thousand years later.

[@DrMustacho]

@@adronius147 kreya also brings up exar khun and his disciples

[@TurbidTG1]

Just imagine if the sequels were actually good and Kreia was the main character for one of them, her writing was amazing! I think the writers of KOTOR 1 and 2 could have written a better trilogy than JJ, Rian, and KK.

[@truewalter4193]

KOTOR and KOTOR 2 should be a movie. Or a trilogy based on the KOTOR games. But then again: I dont want Disney to be the ones making them...

[@mikewashko]

Obviously, But modern Hollywood would destroy Kreia. They are incompetent and incapable of writing a character this compelling and complex. Almost like asking a toddler to paint the Mona Lisa.

[@jakrabbit777]

Her breaking the fourth wall had me tuning in 👂🏻

[@WandaMiddleton-l2t]

To be a student is to teach a student and to become a teacher is to be a teacher not a leader but a teacher!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤love Papatia Quinn

[@WandaMiddleton-l2t]

I was the only one to come back and face the Jedi after all I had been through they blamed me and I learned everything I knew from the Jedi and then I meet kreia my teacher and that’s when I finally seen the truth! I was cast out of the order exiled and faced many battles after that! I grew stronger as well and then the Jedi tried to kill me and wound me through the force but thank goodness kreia showed me what it was to follow the Jedi Reven how easy it was to fall and I did fall completely but now I’m a different person only wanting to see where the light takes me from here Papatia Quinn with only love for my true teacher kreia ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤and I also am a General now!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤

[@Amoth_oth_ras_shash]

ah kreia.. i raise a glass to your ability weaving threads of hues ignored , offering mortals to explore a true force ....a force of a universe... that in it holds the horizon of eternal stories not limited by contrived fourthwall needs... you may not know what entity i am , yet i still drink to you an name figment of imagination and echo of ancient times yet unborn , one day we meet and i will delight at that moment to feast upon the resonance and the hues dancing through them colouring the threads across the weaves of existences that mortal sparks actions feeds. and for those wishing a more reality anchored quote that resonates shards of the words krea's hues shares ...beware the one whom denies you information ,for in their hearts they dream themselfs your master.. be it parents hearing the nation not can 'afford'' to fund public education ....or that its 'sacrilege' to leet your girls go to school... or vocal charismatic ones wanting you to support them to be your 'leader' and obey them blindley

[@Srindal4657]

The forth wall break was crazy

[@tuckernutter]

Not a huge fan of the voice, but I imagine this as Kreia cloned into a cyborg body with just her brain and nervous system attached. Depicted by the image presented for us. Other than that, I give it a S++ for speech

[@EchoesOfImaginations]

Thank you for your feedback and the S++ rating for the speech! This was my first attempt at cloning Kreia's voice, so I truly appreciate your thoughts. If you found this interesting, you might enjoy my later videos where the voice quality has improved a bit :)

[@WandaMiddleton-l2t]

I have mastered the force either Dark or Light at one point in my lifetimes ❤❤❤❤❤love Papatia Quinn your student!! I have seen the truth as well Kreaia

[@davoid0716]

whatever this is.. it's FIRE

[@WandaMiddleton-l2t]

Kreia was my teacher and a Jedi of light she was my mentor for 20 years in the mandalorian wars and beyond we became very close like sisters!!!! I love Kreaia for all she stood for and all that she is and was still today❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤Love Papatia Quinn your student!!

[@sithstalker770]

Thanks, master...

[@nelsonmatamoros7084]

This sounds like a younger Kreia

[@kryphios8]

Awesome video as always. Just noticed the voice was off on this one a bit. Any way to fix it or tweak from wherever you cloned her voice?

[@Brando_Yancey]

Amazing

[@PRHMro]

Thanks to AI, Kreia now speaks with an American accent. :)

[@MagnusHak]

But don’t the Sith do the same as the Jedi by totally ignoring the light side of the force, only to hone their powers by fully immersing and seeping themselves into the dark? How powerful can any of them truly be if they are solely focused on one side of the force while ignoring the other? This is why in my opinion Revan was such a formidably powerful Jedi, as he embraced a “larger view of the force.” (LIGHT & DARK)

[@Microwave414]

Someone needs to introduce Kreia to Lord Aldia, this whole beyond light and dark thing would end the moment she noticed beyond light and dark is basically wood skin with a head and upper torso sticking out of a ground with a hundred voices.

[@CommanderSix]

This is not Kreira

[@mr.vorrnyvorrn2516]

This is not Kreia, it's Arren Kae. The accent doesn't sound as British as Kreia. Or… it could follow the theory that Kreia = Arren Kae. I always do the Kreia =/= Arren Kae, but OK.

[@guygalaxy420]

nah sounds like kreia for most of it to me, and I promise I have more hours than you do :D

[@aarongrey194]

To use AI is antithesis of Kreia.

[@reubenmcguinness2508]

this sounds like a American girl doing an impression, she don't even sound like she's British.

[@EchoesOfImaginations]

Hey @reubenmcguinness2508, totally hear you on the accent thing. The voice cloning tech isn't flawless yet, but the main goal was to revive a beloved character with some new content. Thanks for the feedback and hope you can still appreciate the effort :) Also check out some later videos, maybe you find little improvements.
