STAR WARS: The Old Republic - Knights of the Fallen Empire - “Sacrifice” Trailer Reaction

[@PainHarbinger]

The monologue tells you everything. "A man can have anything, if he is willing to sacrifice. With your birth comes a solemn vow. You will have nothing..." The suggestion here is that, they will have nothing but each other, not even their own Father's attention. Only when one makes the ultimate sacrifice and kills their brother, will they earn the attention of their Father and Emperor. I just recently subscribed to you guys. Love the content, keep it up.

I love the cinematography. At 1:28, he holds onto his brother, picking him up; showing his love for him. And then at 4:20 the same brother is letting him go, showing the personal bonds you must shed and the pain you must endure to become powerful. This also signifies that his brother was morally "holding him back" like an anchor from power. And him letting him go, shows the first transition into power. Just the very first line the father says foreshadows this "A man can have anything, if he is willing to sacrifice." Even though, he killed him unintentionally.

Actually the cinematic trailers order is as follows: Return, hope, Deceived, Sacrifice, and Betrayed. Though Sacrifice and Betrayed take place at the same time they are just told from the point of view of the Brothers Arcann and Thexan, and the sister Vaylin respectively. Oh and the old man you sea ignoring them for the most part is their father Valkorion Emperor of the Eternal Empire that steam rolls over the Republic and The Sith Empire, but hears a twist, he also has another name, Darth Vitiate former Emperor of the Sith Empire, hows that for a twist.

Valkorian had seen Arcann's lack of anger/fury from youth. He saw that Arcann was holding himself back. He only increases Arcann's rage by not showing him any gratitude or consideration throughout his life. Finally, when Arcann had released all the built up fury, Valkorian saw what he was truly capable of.

[@nicholaslex6231]

The old man is actually the Sith emperor whom transferred his soul into another conscience. He was there to hide himself and rebuild a new empire. His name was originally Emperor Vitiate, but since this video was in the Eternal Empire times he changed it to Valkorion. They are the same person but since his Sith empire fell he wanted to rule another without them know he had transferred his soul into the a new body. Same goes for Emperor Palpatine. In Rise of Skywalker, Emperor Palpatine is back due to him having clones stashed away on other planets he is able to master the force of soul transfer as well as the Vitiate(Valkorion).

[@anthonykulik8692]

[@blueroninstudios]

The way I see this trailer is that - from a certain point of view, of course - this is kind of what might have happened to Luke and Leia if Palpatine found out they existed. He knew they would've been a threat to him, so his only recourse would have been to either kill them, or raise them as his own in the ways of the Sith. The Emperor guy we see in this trailer is a human being granted long life by a Sith spirit possesing his body, so his humanity is long gone. He takes two Force-sensitive children, raises them as his own sons, or tells them they are, but has them compete for his favor,training them in the Dark Side, continually denying them any kind of acknowledgement whatsoever and messing up their sesne of priorities so much, they become blinded with rage. Once one kills the other, then he gains the favor of the father. Yeah, the Sith are REALLY fucked up! Makes for good drama though!

[@mandickthetittysmithy5117]

So the twins are the son of Lord Vitiate. Ruler of a third faction in the Old Republic, The Eternal Empire, which was against the Sith and Republic. Arcann is mad bc he desires his father’s attention while Thexan doesn’t care either way. The girl is a third sibling that was training at the same time as the brothers. Lord Vitiate is turning them all to the Dark Side bc he was once a Sith Emperor.

love, peace, leae it all in the past, kill it if you must, only loss, suffering and hatred can give you power and the passion to push through anything... compassion is weakness, only those with the strength to act and resolution are granted the honor of victory.

Just a little lore for yall. The cats with the yellow lightsabers are Actually sith working under a Sith Lord thought to be dead for decades that hid within the force just waiting to strike and kill both the republic and the sith empire. Also the badass cloaked guy from the other videos, Darth Malgus, never dies through out the story. He ends up killing a lot of people, both Sith and Jedi and is eventually captured and frozen in carbonite like Han solo. So he still has the opportunity to come back and fuck shit up.

Really the main thing with this is the fact that the father of both sons was always disappointed in the fact that they look after each other instead of betraying one another. Hence why every time they come back from their battles and win TOGETHER, he always walks away in disappointment and shame. And the son in white was always angry with the father because of that.

[@JavonDGreen]

The basis behind that is the Emperor of the Sith Empire was killed by a Jedi of the republic. physically, not spiritually so to say. He regenerated for some time and wiped out an entire planet and stole the life force from every living being from that planet, then disappeared into deep space. The empire and republic called a temporary truce to find him. He took physical form again and became the immortal emperor of a new empire called Zakull. Those were his two sons that he had during that time frame. His kids are immensely powerful. He sent them to conquer his old empire being the Sith and republic empires. That's why at the end, they were presenting both the republic and empires flags along with what is presumed to be their leaders light sabers to their father. He never showed them any love through their entire life and demanded total loyalty from them. They only aimed to please their father. One became enraged and boiled over to the dark side. That's why his eyes were that color. The father sensed his sons true nature and didn't flinch. His other son tried to stop him and was murdered. Immediately afterward you see Arkanns eyes turn back. When they zoom back into Emperor Valkorian his eyes are also turned now. He reaches out and calls for his son as if he's waited for that moment to happen since birth. That is where the new chapter in the game begins.

[@HolyknightVader999]

Their dad was a Sith Emperor. Dude was only gonna accept one of them as his heir. He was waiting for one of them to have the stone-cold balls to kill the other before recognizing the survivor as his son. Sith are supposed to only have one apprentice; one master, one apprentice. One to embody power, the other to crave it. He didn't have room for two. Palpatine in the comics did the same shit with his guards: on their final test, Imperial Guard trainees work in pairs to overcome every challenge, and the final part of it is when the two of them are forced to fight each other to the death to show their dedication to the Emperor. Meaning each guard had to kill a best friend of theirs just to prove they were dedicated to the throne above all else.

[@WondrousLanternProductions]

"Wow...wow...wow.........wow..." Lol.

[@MrRasheed7]

you have to understand that their father ultimately a sith lord, and sith lords look for the strongest, the most cunning, the one with the most ambition. That was the whole point of giving them nothing when e could have given them everything.. he forged his kids thru pain and waited for one to rise above it try to claim the throne.. That is the kid who would be his apprentice.. The kid who gets it..

[@Jayjon81]

The sons are from a different section of space. Their father is actually the true Sith Emperor (unknown to them) who rules both sections of space. The space ruled by the Empire and an Unknown section far beyond the reach and detection of almost all force wielders. He is the most powerful force user. This trailer introduces a new faction from that section of space; The Eternal Order. The Emperor seeks to destroy both the Sith and Jedi as he believes that they all have perverted ideologies of the force. The Emperor is near god-like, existing in more than one space. In the trailer he shows no emotion as they were growing up, this hints that he has his focus somewhere else (like ruling the Sith far far away). You are a very powerful force user, he's interested in you. You can fight him or let him enter you, giving him full control over your body and mind.... Either choice will likely have the same outcome.

The one that does story for these he been working for bioware for a long time. He did the story for knights of the old republic one (2 little bit from my knowledge since the second game was developed by obsidian instead of bioware), jade empire, mass effect 1 and 2 (nope he did not do 3 and andromeda so you kinda see what happened to those games), neverwinter nights, these and he is doing story for the upcoming anthem video game. Now with him focusing on anthem now the old republic haven’t gotten anything major meaning there is a possibility that mmo may end in few years considering 1. It’s not canon, not fully connected to any new stuff since 2013, 2. Shows like Rebels have their own story of the old republic era with malachor being the core sith planet instead of korriban and Jedi master vizla being the first mandolorian (same race as hangout/boba fett) Jedi and created the dark saber. So there is a possibility one day they will reboot the old republic era to match into new canon. Short: the cgi shorts you seen are kinda obsolete at this point UNLESS the Star Wars story group agree which parts of OLD old republic go keep into new canon and affect future films, shows and stories. Imo I do hope Disney consider fully hiring him to do an updated story for the old republic era in new canon similar to timothy zahn the author of the thrawn trilogy in the 90s semi reboot his character for new canon from last years thrawn book and upcoming book with thrawn teaming up with Vader.

To be a Sith you must sacrifice, so you know the truth of it, the reality of it, the pain of it. It must be the one you love the most. The Dark Side with suffer no rival to your devotion. Power must be your only love, lust and desire. All other things are a merely distraction on the road to supremacy.
