The way she moves; deliberate, calculated, would almost be capable of being described as monotonous if not for the sheer awe-inspiring acrobatics and the fucking duel.

The ability is called Tutaminis. It is the same Yoda uses in PT to absorb force lightning against Dooku and Sidious. Satele here is clearly far more proficient in the ability, though. Her mastery of it is almost unheard of, as you can see. Even Malgus was like "What the actual fuck is this?"

Also Father, Son and Daughter are all manifestations of the force, so you cannot really compare them to any mortal.

Actually kind of incredible that both Satele and Malgus had failed romantic relationships. One is the Jedi Grand Master, the other one of the most powerful Sith Lords of the time, yet they both ended their relationships over perceived "threats" and "weaknesses" the relationship brought.

@@DeathbornGamer she dated the soldier and they had a son together. Their relationship eventually ended however. Malgus had a woman he loved, then killed because he saw her as a weakness and knew killing her would strengthen his connection with the dark side.

*Nothing* will ever be as badass as Jace Malcom charging Malgus head on, grenade in hand. My man pulled a "If I'm going down I'm taking you with me" on a Sith lord and lived to tell about it (granted, so did Malgus, but still).

[@coledoco7841]

The trailer finally shows what they're doing right now with the game. At first, Malcom used trooper commando combat style to fight trash mobs, then he switched to operative concealment to fight Malgus. Same as Satele, went from consular shadow to kill trash mobs then fight Malgus, to finish as telekinetic sage. Ah, and at the end Malcom switches to trooper vanguard lol.

[@botekate]

Story Time: This game will always have a very special spot in my heart (no pun intended). I got my subscription in 2014 after I had heart surgery. I needed something to occupy myself, and take away some of the pain, while I was recouping. I remember having to place the pillows on my chair just right in order to feel comfortable and not experience more pain. But once I was playing, I forgot all about the pain (or maybe it was the oxycodone lol). But this game really was the thing that got me through a very hard time in my life. I remember first seeing someones custom armor on Drumond Kas, and just falling completely in love with everything about the game. It was Star Wars how I always imagined it. Thanks SWTOR.

I really love this trailer. It show's how bravely the Republic forces fight again'st almost overwhelming odds. I also like that not all of the force users are actually amazing. It really brings to light just how powerful Darth Malgus is. He beat Sateele in a 1v1 before, almost killing her if it weren't for her master. Here he beats her again, although I love the look of sheer disbelief on his face when she Force Absorbs his lightsaber blade. Also, that Force Push is the most powerful instance of it ever shown and I'm loving it. You really get to see what a very light side attuned Jedi can do in this fight and it's wonderful. But so many good moments. From the rocket launcher blast scarring Malgus, to Jace tanking that Force Lightning...man if they made the new movies like this...

10 years ago. To this day, my Shadow still uses Satele's double-saber. This just made that much of an impression. These are still gorgeous, so thanks for uploading them. There is something to be said for bringing the front back to these core worlds to give it more impact. Just have 2 landing zones on the planetary travel map, Alderaan and Alderaan Front (which only becomes visible and unlocked after the appropriate story step). The two flashpoints at the start of the Revan story felt brutal, trashing Korriban and Tython so that both Sith and Jedi see their own origin worlds in ruins. Yeah, new planets provide great flavor for storytelling, but it feels like flitting from place to place for glimpses while we've been skirting around the main issue.

[@achd5083]

I love how much of an absolute unit Darth Malgus is. He takes Satele’s onslaught head on and one handed never once putting two hands on his lightsaber until he goes to stab her. Also, I know it’s a retcon of the lore but there’s a reason Palpatine specifically wanted Vader to learn everything he could from records on Malgus, from his philosophy on using pain and anger to his one handed Djem-So fighting style. Creates a sort of loop where Malgus’ design was partly inspired by Vader and then he’s retconned to be how a recently crippled Vader learned to channel his anger and pain as well as relearn how to fight with his injuries and suit.
