Hey ladies and gentlemen could you spare a moment to talk about your history? *Literally every Sith on Korriban ignites their lightasabers* EEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeee
I think SWTOR should have been released earlier in the timeline so we could have first hand experienced all of these stories and wars as content. It sounds pretty ambitious, but it could have even tied into the Legacy idea of the game. Where your character(s) literally go through many years of history throughout the many wars and skirmishes throughout the galaxy. Instead of just the "Great War" which is the aftermath of all of this history being shown.
I don't mind. It's a common theme in Legends to have the story/game take place at the beginning and or ends of major conflicts. The Mandalorian War with KOTOR, the Jedi Civil War with KOTOR 2, the Clone Wars with the Prequels, the Galactic Civil War with the OT, and the Great Sith War with this. It allows more time to explore the war itself with comics, book series(s) and other media down the road. Which they did do for this war, making several books and a comic series.
@@Azura-16 But it doesn’t feel like it’s finished. After all, your guy said he would elaborate more on the next video, which I assume is about Ajunta Pall and the first Sith Lords.
@@ulfberht4431It's a compilation video based on clips released by the studio, nobody here created it. It's veteran actor Lance Henriksen playing the supposed Jedi historian reading the stories. It was just supposed to draw intrest in the game and the lore, nothing more. Plus, the character can be killed in the game, head cannon wise you could say he died before doing his last recording! ;P
It's too bad they didn't do the last episode, that's the start of if it all. The 100 years war ends, the Dark Jedi are exiled and sentenced to a random hyperspace jump to unknown coordinates (a mix of mercy and "good luck dont run into a planet lol") They find themselves in Korriban in a young Sith Empire (just a couple of planets etc). The Sith being a thriving species native to Korriban are naturally attuned to the Dark Side and have a culture of darkness, mysticism & alchemy. SUDDENLY out of hyperspace the Dark Jedi arrive, attuned to the darkside, trained with logic and reason and weilding higher technology and understanding. While pretending to be allies, they make themselves quickly up the power structure, amazing their force-oriented dark side culture with their powers and finally seized powers. Finally after subjugating an entire species and culture in one swift strike the "Lords of the Sith" were born, with one assuming the mantle of "Dark Lord of the Sith", Ironically usually being a non-pure sith (eventually the Dark Jedi sith lords inter-bred with the Sith species etc etc so lots of hybrids and just plain ol' non-sith eventually)
@@Mephilis78dark lord of the sith was at the time was given to person who ruled as master of all . In short this is just different name for sith emperor .
This is so cool im a returning player i started in 2014 to 2018 and played more for the game play than story but im back to learn about the vast story and lore and oh boy am I glad I did its deeper than I thought!
@@donbarzinitut It wasn't exactly required. Kinda like the Codex entries you get from the Datacrons you find in SWTOR, neat little tidbits that aren't game changing.
the guy that did this for Bioware needs to be hired to do an entire series of every event in the history of the star wars Galaxy from the start of it to the current this would be good in that those that dont know the past history of the galaxy can hear what happened in a way that shows care and commitment to the lore
Any remote option that the CC could be updated? I'm sure that someone (even me) could make it connect better to English than it does. The treaty of Carson? I mean, really?! Amiri Alan? High-low? Or was that High lavas? Or maybe Halo vis?
More like War of the Ring. Because this a history of the sith v republic war contemporary to SWTOR, whereas the Silmarilian is a creation myth, more than a historical record.
Here's what drives me nuts about star wars. No matter what happens, the "bad guys" of whatever era, never really become weakened in any significant way. They can lose an entire fleet, and one movie later they're at full power, threatening everyone again. They are never the underdog. Ever. And it gets old.
Choosty The OP Pig I'm pretty sure he does the voice of Destris Veran, and probably more. I haven't been able to confirm but, he sounds a lot like him.
This feels weirdly out of order; I would think they'd start at the beginning, the Great Hyperspace War, and go forwards in time. Instead it puts that at the end, meaning at the beginning you have no idea who or what they're talking about.
Are you sure? If it is canon they might try to adapt it, and after the disaster that was the disney trilogy I don't want them anywhere near the old republic.
When it's all said and done, Darth SIDIOUS/ PALPATINE was a cowardly moron who died by getting thrown off a cliff by a one armed cyborg who just got his ass kicked and SIDIOUS/PALPATINE doesn't even sense it coming. I mean seriously guys , come on, you act like SIDIOUS/PALPATINE is invincible but he has the most ANTICLIMACTIC and UNEVENTFUL death in the ENTIRE STAR WARS SAGA ! EVERYONE dies MORE HEROICALLY than sidious/ Palpatine. ,!!! QUI GON JINN, DARTH MAUL,, COUNT DOOKU, OBI WAN and even non force users like JANGO FETT AND GENERAL GRIEVOUS put up a BETTER FIGHT at the end of there lives than sidious/Palpatine. And the funny thing is, sidious' name doesn't even imply that he's all powerful !!! If you type in synonyms for insidious you will find words like deception, shrewd, cunning, duplicitous, sneaky etc. You won't find words like ALL POWERFUL, UNSTOPPABLE, GOD, OMNISCIENT, OMNIPOTENT, INVINCIBLE ETC But you act like it doEs, you sidious fanboys are pathetic... lol some say sidious could use sith magic to see the future ??? Lol, ok So could he see himself SPLATTERED ACROSS the death star basement after vader threw his ass of the cliff.? Could he see Luke on endor ? Could he see Luke blowing up the first death star ?? Could he see his own face getting fried by windu ??? Hahaha hahaha SIDIOUS DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING !!! That's why Luke said " YOUR OVERCONFIDENCE IS YOUR WEAKNESS " THE EP. 3 novel says " THE NEW SITH COULD NOT BE DESTROYED WITH A LIGHTSABER, THEY COULD NOT BE BURNED BY ANY TORCH OF THE FORCE " yeah, that's because the NEW SITH would be killed by SPLATTERING ACROSS THE DEATH STAR REACTOR CORE after he was THROWN OF A CLIFF in episode 6. Hahaha !!! Stop trying to twist the novel to make it seem like sidious won. The novel ends the same way the scene in the movie ends.... WITH SIDIOUS ON HIS ASS WITH A BIG PURPLE LIGHTSABER IN HIS FACE !! CHECKMATE ! So i leave you with the same words mace told sidious when he won " YOU HAVE LOST !" Lol MAY the force be with you...... SINCE IT WASNT WITH SIDIOUS !! Hahahahaha

@Mephilis78 that is NOT the definition of Lord in this context
swtor and everything around it did wery good job in delivering stories and history of the old republic era
This is incredibly well made.
Well, it was made by a big game studio. So...
Just started playing so this really helps me get into the setting I’m joining! Thank you very much!
Excellent video my good sir! Bravo
Waking this old upload, I found this all so interesting and well presented. It was very intriguing. I so wish there was more.
Thank you

Always loved this series, and I still keep returning to it :)
I remember these - but only went through a few of them...
This is an outstanding vid and brought back a lot of memories. Good work posting.
Thank you so much for this video I was wondering about the entire series but didn't get a chance until to really look into it and watch it
good stuff, I always really enjoying this lore Series

Who was the voice for the narrative
@@samford8577 I think maybe a guy called Lance Henriksen

@@donbarzinitut It started to do less and less with SWTOR as it went on and the information had less to do with SWTOR relevancy.

The Mandalorians sound like the Saiyans of the SWEU
They basically were.
They were both Warriors but Mandalorian's had honor,Saiyan's were just savages
I also want to add that when I described Mandalorians to a friend of mine, his asked me, “ So they are ‘the Predators’ of the SWEU?”
They are the Spartans
thank you so much for it ;)

Why did they change Gnost Dural’s voice actor from Lance Henrikson to Fred Tasticore for Onslaught and so on
Lance is expensive man
Thank you for posting and sharing!!
This need more views.

Is this Admiral Hackett?!!
Yup
Why on earth this SWTOR archive videos jump forward on time and then goes back ffs ?
I love Star Wars lore
Is it weird that I read the first intro by the video creator in the voice of the Jedi Master in the Lore videos?
Sounds like Lance henriksen is the narrator
Was this nerrated by Thanos?
So it's basically The Silmarillian but in space?

Fred Tatasciore is the voice of 76. He is a big time voice actor. He has worked on SWTOR.

IDK who voices Soldier 76 but the person Narrating this is Lance Hennrikson (Bishop from ALIENS)
Interesting the Ancient Sith Lords dont like the Sith Emperor i wonder why
Because he restricted there powers and uses them as pawns
Sith lords don't like anybody. That's kind of their thing.
Admiral Hackett anybody?
Or General Shepherd.
Sound like josh brolin
Lance Henriksen does the Voice over. But yes, does sound like Josh Brolin
