[@AbsurdFalcon]

@@SuccubiSage Yuthura Ban already explained the code in KOTOR, they do NOT misinterpret their own code: Peace is a lie, there is only Passion. Through Passion, I gain Strength. Through Strength, I gain Power. Through Power, I gain Victory. Through Victory, my chains are Broken. The Force shall free me. Simple words - yet easily misunderstood. The Jedi would have you believe that peace is a desirable goal; that peace of the spirit is the way the Force is mastered, that a lack of conflict betters man. We know different. It is our Passion, our Hate and our Desire that fuels the Force. It is conflict that improves the lot of civilization and single being both. Conflict forces one to better oneself. It forces change, adaption, evolution or death. These are not our laws, but the universe's. Without conflict, you have only stagnation. What fuels your power with the Force but Passion? The stronger darker emotions, anger, hatred, fear - these Passions empower us. Love is more dangerous than all those things; love leads to anger and hatred more often than not, but it also leads to mercy which is far worse... that however, is a lesson for another time. What keeps even the most rudimentary creature alive? Fear to run. Anger to fight. Without it, a creature would most surely die. We are far more than them perhaps, but in some ways we are little different. To think us creatures beyond the need of simple Passions is a delusion. The Force gives us all power, even the Jedi. It is our mastery of our Passion that gives us the strength they lack. It is our goal to be stronger, to achieve our potential and not rest upon our laurels - we are the seekers, not the shepherds. The stronger you become in the Force, the more power you will achieve, but always must you fight for your power. Without strife, your victory has no meaning. Without strife, you do not advance. Without strife, there is only stagnation. How many sorts of victories can you imagine? Peaceful victory, victory by sacrifice, a truce, an achievement. Unless the victory is achieved by demonstrating that your power is superior, it is only an illusion, temporary at best. We seek more. The chains represent our restrictions - both those placed upon us and those we place upon ourselves. Ultimately, the goal of any Sith is to free herself from such restrictions. In a way it is so we may do whatever we wish, but it is much more than that; one who has freed themselves from all restrictions has reached perfection, their potential fulfilled - perfect strength, perfect power, perfect destiny. Imagine it. That is our ideal at any rate. It is said in Sith legend that the Sith'ari, the perfect being, will one day lead us, but perhaps that is just a legend. I wonder what that being would be like. The legends say the Sith'ari will destroy us and make us stronger than ever, but perhaps that is just a legend. Perfection is a goal, I think, rather than a state of being. The Jedi would argue that, no doubt. The Force is our servant and our master, our teacher and our companion, a weapon and a tool; know it and you know the universe, master it and you master the universe, strive for perfection and the Force shall reward you. The Force is strong with you, master it and it will serve you well.

[@Freewarrior2]

It costs $10k a second to make a trailer of this quality. 6 and a half minute trailer costs $3.6 million. Do one 24 min episode and it's $14.4 million. One Clone Wars episode (one of the more expensive cartoons to make) costs $1million. Making 1 24 minute episode of this quality and you're talking about $14million. It can be made, but you'd lose way more money than you'd get back. These cinematics are mainly for advertising purposes and for fans to purchase the game.

[@DarkSpyro707]

@@Freewarrior2 yet they can make full feature length films of this quality, but somehow make a profit?

[@Freewarrior2]

@@DarkSpyro707 I mentioned in my comment that they can be made, it just takes a far larger time commitment to create something like that. Yeah there a few full length films out there like that, but could take 2-3 times as long to make versus what we see with Clone Wars. The production budget for the Clone Wars movie was $8.5 million. The budget of a full length theatrical version with these cinematics would arguably run 3 times that of Clone Wars. I would say that Rebels and Resistance ran far less than Clone Wars. The budget for the cinematics of something like what we see here is similar to Mandalorian and Book of Boba Fett, but because it's live action, it doesn't take as long as a purely CGI piece to make. It all comes down to time more than anything else. I think in the coming years you could see something like this, but it'll ultimately come down to the hours you put in to produce something like this. Right now 5-10 minutes are going to be the length of these pieces of work until it can be done perfectly in a short amount of time.

[@darthbane3937]

I imagine some of you in the comments aren't keeping up with all the expansions. I'll give you a quick summary so: SPOILERS!!! Malgus supposedly died on Illum but was captured by the Eternal empire and frozen in carbonite. He was freed and had slave conditioning put on him by the reigning Sith Empress. After the Onslaught expansion, he escaped and managed to free himself on Dantooine. He wants the empire made great, so he's gray now so leaning dark. Therefore he probably cares more than other Sith though if this was happening a few thousand years later, Palpatine would've loved an image of the evil Jedi dragging away a child. This is somewhat a dark version of what would've happened had Anakin and his mother both said no but Qui-gon used force because they need their chosen one. They should've come back for Shmee though.

[@chrisedwards6226]

Freezing people in carbonite as in this legends story and The Mandalorian to a point sort of bugs me. When Han is frozen in Empire Lando states that it isn’t used for this purpose and may kill him so it wasn’t a thing really. A small thing I know but just sort of nags at me 🤷‍♂️

@@shinrapresident7010 "She went from a literal nobody straight to skilled with the force and lightsabers" This comment alone shows that you've not understood the films and that you clearly misunderstood how the force works. The force isn't a superpower that you have to learn. When you believe in it and in yourself, you can be very strong with it. That's literally what Luke learns from Yoda in episode 5. It doesn't matter if Rey lifts a piece of paper or a bunch of huge rocks with the force. If she believes in herself, she can do it. Luke could have lifted the X-Wing if he believed in it. But he gave up and thought that it's impossible. "That is why you fail". And she wasn't really a skilled lightsaber duelist. In episode 7 she used it very clumsy and was just defending herself against Kylo's attacks, who wasn't actively trying to murder her. He saw that she's strong with the force and wanted her to join him. Plus he was wounded and heavily conflicted. In episode 8 Snoke toys with her. And without Kylo's help she would have instantly died against the Praetorians and before that of course to Snoke. She didn't stood a chance against him. And in episode 9 we even see her pretty much loosing against Kylo in the fight. The only reason why she survived there and managed to stab him, was because Leia helped her. So without the help of the rest of the Skywalker family throughout this trilogy, she would have died multiple times. And why are people saying that she's instantly a skilled duelist but then they always criticize the bad fighting and the way she just swings it around? What is it now? Is she skilled or a beginner? Can't be both.

I just started playing the new content last night--could not WAIT! I love how much they've done with the update, and it's still my favorite game of all time. It feels so immersive in the Star Wars universe

[@Orbitalbomb]

Another proof that the Dark side twists everything until the reality can no longer be seen and people do stuff they’d never do. Easy to blame the Jedi for everything while the Dark Side and Sith literally shit on every life and lifeform in the Galaxy

[@fenrizsharp3938]

He said both jedi and sith do the same thing. Malgus is actually fighting both sides

[@SuccubiSage]

Malgus is a third party here, as is clearly represented in how he stabs a Sith in the back. While he seems to still follow the Sith Code with all his talk about breaking free from cages, he does not support the Order, or the Empire, as a whole. In this he seems to be trying to allow more than just "Jedi" or "Sith" to have control of the secrets of the force, which is something I definitely approve of. He's been trying to change the way the Empire and Sith do things for *years*. There was a whole bit on Ilum at the end of the base game where he tried to form his own Empire that allowed aliens to be part of it without discrimination. I wanted to join him then, and I want to even more now.

[@eltacothemagnificent1029]

@@SuccubiSage Malgus has broken free , he can unlock the jedi holocron. This means he can use both sides of the force. He has reached the conclusion of the code.

And Jedi were, well idiots....Forcing children to stifle emotions, instead of teaching them to understand emotions properly and use them, but not to be controlled by them...It's a recipy for disaster and quite frankly abuse....Then they make surprise faces when Jedi fall to the Dark Side, cause they haven't been taught how to handle emotions.... Both Sith and Jedi are extremists honestly...

It’s seriously so staggering the contrast between how these cinematics capture the spirit of StarWars & Disney just doesn’t, for the most part.

So freakin good.

Well, it is part of Legends. Since it's set in the Old Republic era though, it feels detached, but Malgus is mentioned by Palpatine and Vader.

[@erichdegurechaff9515]

Because it is, there is plenty of Force philosophies that contradict the canon, for example

[@cheeseionyt8660]

Star Wars Theory"Malgus is OP". People who play SWTOR: uhhhh I don't think so. *spoilers* (don't read further if you haven't played the update and don't want to be spoilt) (The original reason you start this flash point is to find out what happened to an expedition team whats finding out about Darth null) After buggy gameplay (what feels like a chapter) they introduce a flashpoint where we visit the planet this battle happening and around the time this battle is happening. When landing on the planet you see a force-field that doesn't allow spacecraft to land so you land a distance off. Anyway you we fight corrupted beasts and the 2 companions with you start guessing why this might happen but you move forth to find out. As you move forward you find remnants of Darth null what are still active and are corrupting the beasts, when you realize this a massive beast comes (your first boss fight, pretty easy you can tank all off it's moves). As you move forward you start finding left over droids (pretty common accurance in SWTOR). The more you move forward you find this central point where you do your 2nd boss fight and defeat a AI computer system that spawns elite level mobs, (you blow up 4 droids that disables the main shield and kill the main computer) This also disables the shield. As you move forward you find Republic forces (Jedi, Recruits (medics), and counterspies (tech)). You go up a mountain whilst killing them and at the end you see malgus walking out a temple, He has 2million health and doesn't do much damage to phase 2 (40% hp i think) and then he does abit more damage but it just means you have to use stims and ability shields (or let your companion gain all agro meaning you sit doing nothing). After that he's wounded and reinforcements come in, a darths task force restrains him, he nearly breaks out and then a member of the empires hand (i think that's what they're called) fully restrains him and we go to a cell on one of the main fleets captial ships. (pratically a dungeon) Malgus talks some doo daah we already know saying it only started with him, then we get a cutscene of the twi'lek retrieving the holocron and running off. (If you wonder, just before the 2nd boss fight we see a republic ship left untouched. She probably used that)

In Legends: Vader has Malgus Journal. He was given it by Sidious hoping to provide his apprentice a bit of inspiration as he believed they had many similarities. It was essentially just his diary during the last days of the Great Galactic War and it was mainly about war tactics, strategy, and philosophy. He doesn't need the Holocron of Revan however, he already has access to Revan's knowledge through Sidious considering that in Legends: Sidious has both Bane's Holocron and the Telos Holocron. Bane's Holocron was imbued with teachings he learned from the Holocrons of Freedon Nadd, Belia Darzu, and Darth Revan. The Telos Holocron also has teachings from Darth Revan, Naga Sadow, Ajunta Pall, and Darth Bane.

I think it's because Malgus's wife was a Twi'lek, yet he killed her because he needed to fully engulf himself in the dark side. Breaking attachments makes Sith stronger. He won't kill Twi'leks now because he feels like he wants to make up for his past actions.

This The Old Republic The Legacy Of The Sith cinematic trailer is so good! I have played the base game on Steam last year. I played as a Jedi Knight. I got frustrated with the lightsaber combat, and the Force powers system, so I deleted my TOR account, and un-installed it from Steam. Now I'm seeing these trailers for expansions and I want to re-install it, and play it again. I think I'll try to be more patient this time around. Still, for a Star Wars MMO RPG to still around on Steam after 10 years, and getting new content with expansions is amazing to me. After watching the trailer a few weeks ago, I was a bit taken a back to see a Twilek woman Jedi as one of the main characters, besides her master, who I figure still might live. Most Twilek women were put into slavery when they were quite young. To see one actually depicted as a Jedi is bold decision from Bioware. I'm going get this expansion when it comes out. I really like your reaction Theory! You clearly know more about Malgus than I realized, and you seem excited to play this new expansion.
