Darth Malgus remains one of my favorite Sith Lords of all time. His philosophy on the Force and how it’s conflict, and the fact he wants to become one with the dark side rather than asserting himself above it is truly fascinating and makes him an anomaly compared to other dark lords. Not to mention he doesn’t discriminate and actively goes against the Sith Empire and their laws against other aliens joining their ranks. There’s also a novel called “Deceived” that’s based on the events on the cinematic trailer of same name that’s really good and actually features the highly underrated Jedi: Aryn Leneer.
What's also interesting is that Malgus and Vader are very similar in alot of ways but also quite different from each other too. Sidious also recalled Malgus to be one of the greatest sith lords who ever lived.
Man SWTOR is really underrated, personally I stopped playing a while ago but it's really overlooked just because the game doesn't exactly play like the cinematics. It's a MMORPG from the early 2010s what did people expect??? I actually thought the game was really great for it's story and the vastness of it all. You could really be whoever you wanted to be in a vast mmo galaxy.
He's more of a Sith, though, in the end. He would make a great Emperor, frankly, Along with someone like Darth Marr, who unified the Sith Empire better than most other Sith did.
@@rodgill9376 Malgus is what Vader could've been if he actually wanted to be a Sith lord. Vader is just a depressed, self hating, loser and a slave to his grief. He is a slave to himself and his emotions while Malgus just isn't. He actually embodies the teachings of the Sith way better then Vader ever did.
These trailers are peak SW content. The action is especially. It's got all the flair of the prequel fights but with better choreography than any of the live action stuff.
@@MrDragonkarp I'm saying. They have good actors, they have great CGI in their SW movies, they have basically an unlimited budget. Is it so hard to just pick a good setting and get some better fight choreographers? They could easily put out stuff this good if they tried.
It's almost like animation is a great medium for fight scenes because they get to plan out the choreography ahead of time, as well as allowing for more creativity beyond the constraints of acting in a physical space.
@@thirdcoinedge Choreography for live action fight scenes are also ideally well planned out ahead of time and have well done previs and rehearsals to make sure its well performed. Unfortunately budget constraints, rushed schedules, or a general lack of knowledge or care can lead to fight scenes being undercooked. The same thing can befall animated media as well though. These trailers have great choreography because the filmmakers had the time and resources to cook. Plenty of examples out there of what can happen in animated fights when they don't. (I am a fight choreographer if you can't tell)
Malgus is different bro. Where Vader joined the Dark Side in order to save his wife, Malgus killed his wife to immerse himself FURTHER into the Dark Side. His wife was the Twilek woman who invaded the temple with him.
@@PyroPuffs777 ain't that Darth Sion but for real tho both Malgus and fucking Valkorion you kill em multiple times even defeating Malgus and crashing a building on him and he's just like nope ill be back
This was honestly great I’m glad Tai and some of chat enjoy these trailers man. Hope he does force unleashed or check out more cinematic stuff from games etc.
It's always a majority of the broke ahh grunts that be the first to hate. I understand why dontai likes to press the ads button to piss them off even more.
A great warrior, one of the best. But while he tanked many often fatal moves the Jedi employed against him, he did eventually die when all of the Jedi combined forces to eliminate him. You can't tank thousands of Jedi all simulataneously attacking you. So yes, he is dead.
I can understand not liking the films, but there's so much more to star wars than that. And there's definitely a part of Star Wars that everyone can enjoy.
31:50 Just noticed, she used what's known as "Tràkata", Tràkata was a form of lightsaber combat developed for taking advantage of a lightsaber's ability to be turned on and off, a unique quality in a melee weapon. This method was greatly frowned upon, and was almost never used by either the Sith or the Jedi. The Sith claimed that it showed weakness and demonstrated a lack of power, while the Jedi claimed that this form was unsportsmanlike.
No, she did not. She just used the other person's Saber against another. She never turned hers off and turned it on to kill someone. The form is also turning your Saber off before clashing with another Saber and then turning it back on to kill the person. The jedi master who duel welded 2 sabers to fight malgus and his faster didn't use it either. He turned it off and dodged an attack, and he only turned it back on to injure the sith master
I will never not appreciate the fact that both the Sith and the Jedi saw this technique and as a collective decided that it was a dick move and chose not to use it at all
For the people in chat screaming boring a few seconds in then remaining silent after seeing how dope it is. I'm laughing at you. Talked so strongly on something you had only heard about and got humbled by your own eyes.
These chatters are weird AF, and not in the fun Twitch chat kind of way. Never seen this streamer before, but I'm assuming his audience is incredibly young.
@@atrocious7766 He himself is kind of a dumbass as well lol. Not that this wasn't enjoyable to watch but dude really shouldn't speak so confidently on things he doesn't know shit about or make snap judgements on characters from a single action or choice they make.
@@atrocious7766 Definitely. Talking trash about an almost 15yo trailer, when the recent movies had nothing that approach this quality. The series Mandalorian and Ahsoka, maybe, but thats new and most definitely something that was learned the hard way from how bad the movies got roasted by hardcore fans.
Just wanna point out real quick that when dude ran up with a knife, it was actually made with a mineral called cortosis which is resistant to lightsabers. A pure cortosis blade can actually overload a lightsabers power emitter and shut it off
The twins and girl are all related and belong to the eternal empire which are neither sith or Jedi, they hunted both of them down to damn near extermination so the sith an Jedi team up to take them down and the dad is the siths old emperor. He used the sith as a plaything basically while the eternal empire was his main focus.
Darth Vitiate is a fucking boss. Palpatine may have played the Jedi at their most complacent and weakest poinnt, but Vitiate literally fought Jedi and Sith combined and nearly WON
@@khuntasaurus88yes he is but that still doesn’t stop palpatine being the most powerful Sith Lord in history it’s fact stated by George Lucas and if you don’t agree your opinion dosent matter as George Lucas knows best
@@TaurusInvicta No, the budget of the george lucas films are minimal. That is why in those movies, there isnt a lot of variety between aliens, yet the fight choreography in those george lucas films is still superior to that of disney and the trailers has the best fight scenes
TOR (the old republic), is set roughly around 3660 years before the movies. This is an entirely different timeline and therefore is entirely detached from the movies, both lore-wise and plot-wise if you get what I mean. They needed wiggleroom to make a game as big as this and considering the old Kotor (knights of the old republic) games existed Kotor 3 became SWTOR, an mmo, kinda like WoW. The twins are part of a cool (meh executed tho) expansion and the yellow saber kinda means “fight/servitude for reward” in this circumstance, however yellow has another more cannon meaning.
Satele Shan, she is like the granddaughter or whatever of Revan and Bastila Shan. She is super strong in force and really good fighter. After all, she's a Shan, that name means something. In galactic Republic era Jarik Shan is a last living descendant of J.K. Revan and Bastila Shan. He was trained by Quai gon and fought alongside Ahsoka and Anakin.
I remember seeing some of these as a little kid lol and I thought the game was actually like this. My disappointment was immeasurable and my day was ruined 💀
I've never understood why they have never tried this realistic animation style for a show or movie, when it's done right it's better than live action IMO. As different as the game is from the trailers if you like star wars and story driven games it's def worth a shot, especially if you crave more gritty dark star wars. Never liked MMO's or their gameplay but the story was beyond good enough to make me not care. I was genuinely shocked how great the Sith Warrior, Jedi Knight, and Imperial Agent stories were.
Fun fact: After Malgus was buried under that mountain of rubble at the end of the Hope trailer, before receiving the surgery and implants that would save his life, he encountered two Jedi knights _and bested them!_ Think Darth Vader, except increase the speed and give him Force Lightning. That's Darth Malgus, impossibly tough, highly skilled and fully committed to the idea of the Dark Side itself, so much so that he went against his own Empire.
Ion care what anyone says, for me SWTOR will always be my favorite video game of all time. Been playing on off since 2012. If you’re a big fan of Star Wars it’s truly an experience
19:44 "How is this guy still alive?!" In short... Malgus is too angry and determined to die. Dude might be one of the most awesome and badass sith ever conceived. EDIT: About the fourth trailer, the one with the twins. That was for an expansion to the game that introduced a new enemy in the form of the Empire of Zakuul. In addition to having some wicked technology and a legion of force-users (Those gold-armored guys) that don't bother with the whole "light and dark" crap and harness the Force as a whole. Though as powerful as this Empire was, they were kinda punks. Basically the Zakuul Empire sucker-punched the Sith Empire and Republic while they were distracted with each other and owed much of their success to a fleet of hyper-advanced warships that they didn't even make (It's a long story and I honestly don't have the details down enough to explain it properly).
The one thing that never gets old watching these people watch SWTOR cinematics is watching them go "Oh shit!" watching Kao Cen Darach toss his lightsaber at Malgus to save Satele, knowing damn well that Vindican would duck instead of block.
I doubt he’ll ever see this but the lore behind the older father that has the yellow sabers is that he was the original Emperor of the Sith that can body hop. The body that you currently see is the one he switches to after you kill him with your created Jedi Knight . Long story short his spirit gets resurrected and returns to the father that he secretly had been living in. He gathers his secret army and attack both the Galactic Empire (Sith) and Republic (Jedi).
I honestly prefer the Old Republic ways of the Sith compared to what Bane did. Sure, there was a bunch of infighting and shit in the old ways. I just think the idea of just having literal thousands upon thousands of Sith is way cooler than with just only two.
@@Tyralakit would have made more sense of the Force was like the Speed Force from DC, where it's a finite resource shared by speedsters and slow down if there are many at once
These trailers are some of the most entertaining and rewatchable pieces of Media of all time. They beat out even movies and games. And they are MERE TRAILERS. Shit is impressive.
Struggle Nation also started with these…. I have hope that at some point Dontai might open himself up to Clone Wars just like they did, and discover just how FFFFUCKING GOOD those stories are.
The twin scene just to help you, he was upset his father never too time to appreciate their victories, it angered him that he didnt care about their win or what happened so he wanted to kill him. Blinded by rage he was ready to kill anything that stopped him from killing the father, for seen killing his brother
I will always rewatch these trailers when people watch them for the first time. They are excellent and I wish Star Wars could live up to their hype. They have yet to do so. I feel like a full animated Star Wars movie would hype as hell!
About the yellow sabers: They’re used by Jedi Sentinels later in the future, but at this point in history they were used by the organization we see the twins working for and the father leading, called the “eternal empire”. They’re at war with both sith and Jedi, and so use a different color to differentiate themselves. Plus, they’re really into the gold aesthetic apparently
So glad Dontai watched these, hope that when he's done with Jedi: Survivor he plays Force Unleashed 1 & 2. I think he'd like them since it plays similar to the old GOW games from the PS3 era and also I think Dontai would fw Star Killer because he's a OP menace also to say in simpler terms he's Star Wars version of Kratos.
40:36 If you don't know, this was the temple of Darth Nul, who combined both Sith and Jedi teachings. That holocron has techniques that can augment a weak Force user's powers. Oh and he didn't steal Satele's lightsaber. In the background you can barely see her throwing it to him. Hard to see, thought like you did at first too.
Ngl alderaan trailer is so badass. the commander took that force lightning like a boss and then just took a grenadeblast to his face, like he is really selfless its crazy
This isn't the "Empire" that you know from Star Wars, this is the original "Sith Empire" that was finally defeated by the Republic 300 years before the Skywalker era.
what are you talking about the last sith empire was defeated about 1,027 years before the battle of yavin where darth ban betrayed the sith to make the rule of two to make it stronger and then the high republic starts at 1,000 bby when the rusan reformation are made.
@@whatifyouare_ I had to sit here for a minute trying to figure out what the hell you were talking about until I suddenly realized that I dropped a zero off the number of years in my comment. Its 3000 years plus, although I don't remember the exact figure and was just rounding to, "3000." My bad. Doesn't really matter though since all Bioware stuff is de-canonized and moved into Legends now.
the symbolic contrast of the jedi apprentice giving her lightsaber to her master and the sith apprentice taking his master's is one of those small things that I appreciate...and I probably make it more important than it actually is.
Note: "BBY" stands for years Before the Battle of Yavin (the events of Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope). *Return* Timeline: 3,681 BBY This cinematic depicts the return of the Sith Empire. Prior to this event, it was believed that the Sith Empire was eradicated in 5,000 BBY at the end of the Great Hyperspace War. At this point in time, the Sith were many, with there being hundreds or thousands at a time. Darth Bane's "Order of the Sith Lords" (or just "Sith Order") was not established until approximately 1,000 BBY. We also see an 18-year-old Satele Shan (descendant of Bastila Shan and Revan) and her master Kao Cen Darach (who is the same species as Darth Maul, but an Iridonian Zabrak instead of a Dathomirian Zabrak). Darth Malgus is human, but his master Darth Vindican is a Sith Pureblood (the species for which the Sith are named). *Hope* Timeline: 3,667 BBY This cinematic depicts the Battle of Alderaan (a Sith invasion intended to destroy the Republic's "symbol of serenity" to demoralize them). Satele Shan (now 32-years-old) is a Jedi Knight. And the abilities you see her using against Malgus are Tutaminis (the same ability Yoda used to absorb Palpatine's force lightning in the Senate Chambers, but MUCH more powerful) and Force Burst (basically a super-powered Force Push). 13:07 He was thinking Malgus could catch these hands. *Deceived* Timeline: 3,653 BBY This cinematic depicts the Sacking of Coruscant, a surprise attack on Coruscant during a false ceasefire after the Sith Empire offered to end the war peacefully. The blue-armored Mandalorian you see in this one is Shae Vizla (also known as Mandalore the Avenger). Her last name is NOT a misspelling of Vizsla. She is unrelated to Clan Vizsla. 20:35 That move Malgus did was DIRTY AF. Pretended to be stunned by that face-bash then immediately skewer him. *Sacrifice* Timeline: 3,636 BBY This one depicts the Eternal Empire, a third "Force Order" that is neither Jedi Order nor Sith Empire (but definitely dark side). They are led by Darth Vitiate/Emperor Valkorion, an immortal Sith. The two boys are his twin sons, Arcann (the one wearing white) and Thexan (the one wearing black). Short story about them: Basically, while the Sith Empire and the Jedi-backed Republic were fighting each other, the Eternal Empire came in and third-partied them both, basically conquering the whole galaxy for a time until everybody teamed up to destroy them, then went back to their own war. 26:10 A moment like this was supposed to happen in Revenge of the Sith. When Anakin is dismembered on the lava bed, his eyes are blue as he begs Obi-Wan for help one last time, but they fade to the blazing Sith red-orange-yellow as Anakin "dies" and Vader is truly "born." But it was cut. *Betrayed* Timeline: Around 3,630 BBY. Basically what's happening here is that Vaylin (who as you can see is the younger sister of Arcann and Thexan) was discovered to be immensely powerful (far more so than even Arcann, and potentially Valkorion himself), so Valkorion locked her away and tortured her to ensure she would never betray him (spoiler: she does, eventually, with Arcann's help). Also, the mother (Senya)'s weapon is a Lightsaber Pike (basically a lightsaber spear). Of course, it can also be detached from the stick and used normally. 28:20 A bit more elaboration: Objectively-speaking, the dark side is not "bad" and the light side is not "good." But because the Sith (bad) use exclusively the dark side, the dark side is labeled "bad" and opposite to the light because the Jedi (who oppose the Sith) are "good." In reality, there is *only* the force (this is also the viewpoint of "Gray Jedi"). But it is true that it easier to use the dark side since it requires no discipline and offers fast power, whereas the light requires years, if not decades of training to be "strong." 31:10 There is no real explanation for why the Eternal Empire's Sith used yellow-bladed lightsabers. Also, it's hard to see, but Senya actually carried *two* lightsabers on her (both blue-bladed). One is the lightsaber pike, which has the ability to extend the hilt into the pike length at any time. The other is a standard, single-bladed lightsaber. Also, the reason her lightsabers have blue blades is because she is a Knight of Zakuul. Zakuul Knights used blue blades (and the more powerful ones used orange. Seemingly, only royalty used yellow blades, such as Arcann, Thexan, and Vaylin). *Disorder* Timeline: 3,626 BBY This trailer was animated not by Blur Studios (who did all the previous trailers), but by ILM (Industrial Light & Magic, the special effects department of Lucasfilm). It is meant to show that even the Jedi are flawed individuals. 35:35 Not purple. Magenta (pink), like Mara Jade Skywalker's lightsaber. 37:26 This is NOT 100 years before Vader. This is 3,600 YEARS before Vader. 39:30 Believe it or not, but Malgus wasn't lying. Note: Satele Shan was promoted to Grand Master of the Jedi Order in 3,645 BBY, almost immediately after her promotion to Jedi Master.
I disagree with your point about there not being a "bad" and a "good" side of the force. Technically the light side is the natural side of the force, with the dark side being a corruption of the force. The dark side goes stricktly against the balance. The reason why we tend to think of the Gray Jedi to be the balanced ones is because the Gray Jedi are actually two different things. The first definition of a Gray Jedi is probably what you're refering to, which is someone who practices both the light side and the dark side. Even though these force-users should be the most balanced, they in reality most often turn to the dark side, because the dark side is nothing more than a perversion of the light side, and ends up corrupting them. The other definition is someone like Ahsoka Tano, who also gets called a gray jedi, or a "true" jedi. These people essentially believe in what the Jedi believed in their early days, which was keeping harmony in the force. This is also what the New Jedi Order believed in (at least in the beginning) after Luke Skywalker brought balance to the force (or debatedly Anakin did). The reason we tend to think of the Jedi Order under the republic time to be unbalanced is because they were, especially in their later years like in the clone wars. Instead of keeping harmony they had become militaristic elitist bureaucrats, with the best example being Mace Windu, who was a major supporter of jedi envolvement in the republic, and it's wars, and even developed (I know he didn't techinically create it, but he perfected it for Jedi use) a Form which used the dark side, all because he saw the force as a means of power, just like the sith, which reinforces the idea that ultimately, the dark side corrupts, either directly, or through thousands of years of militaristic culture.
@@phil385the unifying force philosophy; the force is the force and the darkside is the darkness in ones self, only amplified when channeled with the force.
@@phil385 Gray Jedi is and always has been fanon. Different interpretations of how the force works is seen in many cults, sects and individuals throughout Star Wars but its always been the Force and its cancerous dark side. Mace was definitely a clear example of how misguided the jedi became but he didnt view the force as a means of power or as some tool, that was how dark siders viewed it. Vapaad was his way of channeling his internal darkness into a force for good and is a very personal style that did not translate well when used by others considering how the co creator of the form fell to the darkside as well as his apprentice whom he taught it to.
This game's levelling is really good. the 8 class stories range from pretty decent (Jedi consular) to masterpiece (Imperial Agent). As the imperial agent, it's like playing an evil version of James Bond, it's very cool. the Bounty Hunter is fantastic too. it's odd, I like the non-sith and Jedi class stories better than the Sith and Jedi ones, but as I said, the worst one is still decent. the voice acting in this game is top-notch, except for 1 NPC, I don't remember his name.. it's a flash point boss I think. Vodal something or other. That is true, the purple saber exists purely because of Samuel L. Jackson or it wouldn't be in Star wars lore at all. it is my favourite colour along with... what's it called... Cyan, which my favourite character in star wars wields who is Meetra Surik, aka. the Jedi Exile.
sith warrior is my personal favorite. and the ligh/dark side system means you can play them in a number of ways story-wise. for the sith warrior, for instance, you can lean more towards the light and be an honorable warrior-poet type, or go the path of "I'm going to commit so many war crimes it'll make the balkans look like fucking switzerland"
I definitely think Dontai should check out the Assassin’s Creed cinematic trailers too. The newer games have some controversy around them, but the cinematics are still so great. If anything, I think he’d enjoy the cinematics from AC 2 up to Origins. The Revelations trailer is still undefeated today imo.
At this point in history, the sith Lord had been hiding on the outskirts of the Galaxy building up the empire over hundreds of years off the grid, then invaded republic space. There are still nuetrals systems and unexplored areas of the Galaxy. This is a thousand years before the movies. Vibroblades we're still common, as well as shields.
Everyone who told you the yellow sabers are guards are wrong. The only ones who used yellow sabers in the eternal empire are the ones within the royal circle! The twins (emperors sons) “11” (emperors daughter) If you notice the soldiers and the mother have blue sabers that’s because they are just members of the empire! So essentially the yellow sabers in that empire are rare!
The mother is also the mother of the twins. She's the the commander of the old dude's elite guard and his consort. He banished her because she kept the girl's powers a secret. Also, it's not a 100 years before Vader. It's thousands.
Oh god the "2 Twins, one goes to the dark one to the light" Has aged SOOOO poorly... Not because it was a bad idea, but because Disney is so shit they managed to take that cool idea and make it terrible with The Acolyte.
Mace windu became a Jedi master and was on the high council because he could tap both into dark and light side. I mean obviously more but that played a big part in his victories
That man is the most loyal clone trooper there is and his group were ragdolling the sith at the beginning honestly clones shouldn't be underestimated at all
There’s more to it the reason why the fights are like this and better because it was hundreds of years before the phantom menace and the sith and Jedi of this time were always at war but then the Jedi defeated the sith and all the heavy combat ended and hundreds of years past and Jedi became less skilled in fighting it would be like this generation going to war it would be a bunch OF models and gamers
@@illson1526 The Jedi didn’t defeated the Sith. The Sith destroyed themselves. Darth Bane killed all Sith, except himself and his apprentice, thus creating the Rule of Two.
These are infinite empire guards with the yellow lightsabers normally Jedi who use yellow lightsabers are sentinels who spend equal time focusing on their force powers and combat
This is pure Star Wars. The original vision brought to screen. Damn i wish there was a movie made like this or a series. The use of the John Williams music is just perfect.
If nobody explained it in accurate detail Dontai. For The Old Republic the yellow sabers were simply an in-between for light and dark. Not part of the Sith, not part of The Republic. In later canon, yellow was for the Jedi Sentinels. The guardians of the Jedi Temples.
This is so random wtf, these cinematics were years old dontai is the last person id expect to react to this Guy at the end is real asf for calling and stopping tho
What really awesome about the first trailer is that Malgus was manipulating everyone in that fight. He was already far more powerful than any of them, but, he feigned being weaker so that Setele and her master didn't see him as being the real threat and so HIS master never suspected that he was going to use that opportunity to kill him. He let them wear each other down so that when he made his move they wouldn't be in any condition to defend themselves against his true strength. Hence, the reason he ended the fight so quickly at the end. He could have killed them all right from the start, but, why exert the energy when he could just let them do most of the work and then mop up whoever was left standing at the end.
i downloaded the game on steam and it was genuinely hard for me to stop playing for a long time. the story is really good and if they decided to remake and remaster this game for console and pc, there would be no better Star Wars game imo.
@@loreking486 they switched game developers + both developers delayed making changes to the game becuz they both had different combat ideas from the Og kotor, plus I'm talking about delayed in making the game not releasing it, 2 different things 😭
@@loreking486 I don't think ur listening, I'm talking bout the actual devopment of the game,not trailers or release dates, currently they took about a 6-9 month break from doing anything towards the remake, like months of delaying actually doing any work that's my point, they did this with another game but I don't remember what it's called, they said they'd delayed devopment and a few months later they scraped the whole game, another example is eclipse, they are understaffed so they stopped working on the game
About the purple saber. Mara Jade had a purple saber in the expansion to Dark Forces 2.. From 1998. And she was in books long before the prequel trilogy. Long before Samuel Jackson. As for the significance of purple sabers. The weilder is more aggressive, as they have moral uncertainty. Piecing themselves together,. Typically use abilities from both the light and dark side of the for Force. In Mara Jades case specifically. She was with the Empire before being turned to the light side by Luke Skywalker. Hence the purple, as she had extensive knowledge of both light and dark side. It can also stand for reconstruction and recovery. Mara was an agent of the empire now trying to find her place as a Jedi. So the purple blades have been around for a long time, but are highly rare.

Malgus is without a doubt one of the hardest mf in all of Star Wars. The man made the entire galaxy his enemy and is still kicking
A great warrior, one of the best. But while he tanked many often fatal moves the Jedi employed against him, he did eventually die when all of the Jedi combined forces to eliminate him. You can't tank thousands of Jedi all simulataneously attacking you. So yes, he is dead.

I can understand not liking the films, but there's so much more to star wars than that. And there's definitely a part of Star Wars that everyone can enjoy.
I hate the movies they corny to me. But the games are top tier

Space Samurais vs Space Nazi with telekinesis, this lore unmatched
31:50 Just noticed, she used what's known as "Tràkata", Tràkata was a form of lightsaber combat developed for taking advantage of a lightsaber's ability to be turned on and off, a unique quality in a melee weapon. This method was greatly frowned upon, and was almost never used by either the Sith or the Jedi. The Sith claimed that it showed weakness and demonstrated a lack of power, while the Jedi claimed that this form was unsportsmanlike.
No, she did not. She just used the other person's Saber against another. She never turned hers off and turned it on to kill someone. The form is also turning your Saber off before clashing with another Saber and then turning it back on to kill the person. The jedi master who duel welded 2 sabers to fight malgus and his faster didn't use it either. He turned it off and dodged an attack, and he only turned it back on to injure the sith master
I will never not appreciate the fact that both the Sith and the Jedi saw this technique and as a collective decided that it was a dick move and chose not to use it at all
@@Axtreq she did turn hers on and off at around 32:16 though
@@itsanandy she did to quickly kill him, the form is turning it off before clashing with a Saber and then quickly turning it on

TOR (the old republic), is set roughly around 3660 years before the movies. This is an entirely different timeline and therefore is entirely detached from the movies, both lore-wise and plot-wise if you get what I mean. They needed wiggleroom to make a game as big as this and considering the old Kotor (knights of the old republic) games existed Kotor 3 became SWTOR, an mmo, kinda like WoW. The twins are part of a cool (meh executed tho) expansion and the yellow saber kinda means “fight/servitude for reward” in this circumstance, however yellow has another more cannon meaning.
Satele Shan, she is like the granddaughter or whatever of Revan and Bastila Shan. She is super strong in force and really good fighter. After all, she's a Shan, that name means something. In galactic Republic era Jarik Shan is a last living descendant of J.K. Revan and Bastila Shan. He was trained by Quai gon and fought alongside Ahsoka and Anakin.
I am more invested in Satele Shan after 2 minutes than Rey in over 3 hours.

I've never understood why they have never tried this realistic animation style for a show or movie, when it's done right it's better than live action IMO. As different as the game is from the trailers if you like star wars and story driven games it's def worth a shot, especially if you crave more gritty dark star wars. Never liked MMO's or their gameplay but the story was beyond good enough to make me not care. I was genuinely shocked how great the Sith Warrior, Jedi Knight, and Imperial Agent stories were.

There's so much material to adapt, that shit could make a good ass animated series
Because most of them know nothing about Star Wars. There are so cool projects coming out soon tho.
good thing Disney doesn't own the rights anymore. Isn't there a Old Repbublic movie or series in production right now tho?
That’s a terrible idea Disney ruined Star Wars
Nah pls don’t, they have already ruined the Skywalker Saga, if they touch this Legends material they will turn it into shit.
Love ya dontai, honestly congratulations on the big achievement and milestone, hope for many more of these..
You Finally Got a title right 🎉🎉
Fun fact: After Malgus was buried under that mountain of rubble at the end of the Hope trailer, before receiving the surgery and implants that would save his life, he encountered two Jedi knights _and bested them!_
Think Darth Vader, except increase the speed and give him Force Lightning. That's Darth Malgus, impossibly tough, highly skilled and fully committed to the idea of the Dark Side itself, so much so that he went against his own Empire.
Sidious: Meticolously plans destryoing the Jedi for decades.
Malgus: Pulls up with the boyz.
😂
wow THIS is a pleasant surprise. I've always stood by that the SWTOR Cinematics are the best Star Wars content available
This series was so good bro .Need more of this like idc about the Disney movies I want this !!!
Ion care what anyone says, for me SWTOR will always be my favorite video game of all time. Been playing on off since 2012. If you’re a big fan of Star Wars it’s truly an experience
not anymore
WoW if it was Star Wars 😏😏😩😩😩
19:44 "How is this guy still alive?!"
In short... Malgus is too angry and determined to die. Dude might be one of the most awesome and badass sith ever conceived.
EDIT: About the fourth trailer, the one with the twins. That was for an expansion to the game that introduced a new enemy in the form of the Empire of Zakuul. In addition to having some wicked technology and a legion of force-users (Those gold-armored guys) that don't bother with the whole "light and dark" crap and harness the Force as a whole. Though as powerful as this Empire was, they were kinda punks. Basically the Zakuul Empire sucker-punched the Sith Empire and Republic while they were distracted with each other and owed much of their success to a fleet of hyper-advanced warships that they didn't even make (It's a long story and I honestly don't have the details down enough to explain it properly).
Those trailers were the hardest videos of all time when I was a kid. Loved these so much and I’m glad dontai found these fire af too
“How deep does star wars lore go?” Somewhere between 20-40 books my guy😂
I THOUGHT ITS ONLY SIX DAAAMN
dont forget the comics
The one thing that never gets old watching these people watch SWTOR cinematics is watching them go "Oh shit!" watching Kao Cen Darach toss his lightsaber at Malgus to save Satele, knowing damn well that Vindican would duck instead of block.
That trooper is the true hero. Facing off against sith lords, and still kicking ass.
Jace Malcom. He fathers a son with Satele (the girl in the trailer) in the end. What an absolute chad. beat up a sith and got a hot jedi girlfriend.
I doubt he’ll ever see this but the lore behind the older father that has the yellow sabers is that he was the original Emperor of the Sith that can body hop. The body that you currently see is the one he switches to after you kill him with your created Jedi Knight . Long story short his spirit gets resurrected and returns to the father that he secretly had been living in. He gathers his secret army and attack both the Galactic Empire (Sith) and Republic (Jedi).

These trailers are some of the most entertaining and rewatchable pieces of Media of all time.
They beat out even movies and games. And they are MERE TRAILERS. Shit is impressive.
Struggle Nation also started with these…. I have hope that at some point Dontai might open himself up to Clone Wars just like they did, and discover just how FFFFUCKING GOOD those stories are.
If the Star Wars movies were actually like this, I’d actually be invested
Have you watched the clone wars?
The twin scene just to help you, he was upset his father never too time to appreciate their victories, it angered him that he didnt care about their win or what happened so he wanted to kill him. Blinded by rage he was ready to kill anything that stopped him from killing the father, for seen killing his brother
I will always rewatch these trailers when people watch them for the first time. They are excellent and I wish Star Wars could live up to their hype. They have yet to do so. I feel like a full animated Star Wars movie would hype as hell!
True, but they're probably expensive asf and require a lot of work, hence why they've never made a full movie with the cinematic style
About the yellow sabers: They’re used by Jedi Sentinels later in the future, but at this point in history they were used by the organization we see the twins working for and the father leading, called the “eternal empire”. They’re at war with both sith and Jedi, and so use a different color to differentiate themselves. Plus, they’re really into the gold aesthetic apparently
I love how half of chat immediately assumes every sith from the Old Republic is Revan lmao
So glad Dontai watched these, hope that when he's done with Jedi: Survivor he plays Force Unleashed 1 & 2. I think he'd like them since it plays similar to the old GOW games from the PS3 era and also I think Dontai would fw Star Killer because he's a OP menace also to say in simpler terms he's Star Wars version of Kratos.
"A surprise, to be sure, but a welcome one." - Chancellor Palpatine
40:36 If you don't know, this was the temple of Darth Nul, who combined both Sith and Jedi teachings. That holocron has techniques that can augment a weak Force user's powers. Oh and he didn't steal Satele's lightsaber. In the background you can barely see her throwing it to him. Hard to see, thought like you did at first too.
No one’s gonna read this but this is NOT 100 years before vader, more like 4000
there is unironically 30k years worth of star wars lore and all of the cinematic universe takes place during just a 40 year period
“I have brought peace, freedom, justice, and security to my new empire”
Darth Malgus is easily one of the best star wars characters ever
The two twins were sent to end the conflict between the sith and the jedi to create the new empire for their father.
Ngl alderaan trailer is so badass. the commander took that force lightning like a boss and then just took a grenadeblast to his face, like he is really selfless its crazy
Dontai going through a Star Wars arc. I'm proud.
This isn't the "Empire" that you know from Star Wars, this is the original "Sith Empire" that was finally defeated by the Republic 300 years before the Skywalker era.
what are you talking about the last sith empire was defeated about 1,027 years before the battle of yavin where darth ban betrayed the sith to make the rule of two to make it stronger and then the high republic starts at 1,000 bby when the rusan reformation are made.
@@whatifyouare_ I had to sit here for a minute trying to figure out what the hell you were talking about until I suddenly realized that I dropped a zero off the number of years in my comment. Its 3000 years plus, although I don't remember the exact figure and was just rounding to, "3000." My bad. Doesn't really matter though since all Bioware stuff is de-canonized and moved into Legends now.
“Wtf happened to you?” He caught a grenade to the face and you weren’t paying attention. Lol.
the symbolic contrast of the jedi apprentice giving her lightsaber to her master and the sith apprentice taking his master's is one of those small things that I appreciate...and I probably make it more important than it actually is.
Note: "BBY" stands for years Before the Battle of Yavin (the events of Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope).
*Return*
Timeline: 3,681 BBY
This cinematic depicts the return of the Sith Empire. Prior to this event, it was believed that the Sith Empire was eradicated in 5,000 BBY at the end of the Great Hyperspace War.
At this point in time, the Sith were many, with there being hundreds or thousands at a time. Darth Bane's "Order of the Sith Lords" (or just "Sith Order") was not established until approximately 1,000 BBY. We also see an 18-year-old Satele Shan (descendant of Bastila Shan and Revan) and her master Kao Cen Darach (who is the same species as Darth Maul, but an Iridonian Zabrak instead of a Dathomirian Zabrak). Darth Malgus is human, but his master Darth Vindican is a Sith Pureblood (the species for which the Sith are named).
*Hope*
Timeline: 3,667 BBY
This cinematic depicts the Battle of Alderaan (a Sith invasion intended to destroy the Republic's "symbol of serenity" to demoralize them). Satele Shan (now 32-years-old) is a Jedi Knight. And the abilities you see her using against Malgus are Tutaminis (the same ability Yoda used to absorb Palpatine's force lightning in the Senate Chambers, but MUCH more powerful) and Force Burst (basically a super-powered Force Push).
13:07 He was thinking Malgus could catch these hands.
*Deceived*
Timeline: 3,653 BBY
This cinematic depicts the Sacking of Coruscant, a surprise attack on Coruscant during a false ceasefire after the Sith Empire offered to end the war peacefully. The blue-armored Mandalorian you see in this one is Shae Vizla (also known as Mandalore the Avenger). Her last name is NOT a misspelling of Vizsla. She is unrelated to Clan Vizsla.
20:35 That move Malgus did was DIRTY AF. Pretended to be stunned by that face-bash then immediately skewer him.
*Sacrifice*
Timeline: 3,636 BBY
This one depicts the Eternal Empire, a third "Force Order" that is neither Jedi Order nor Sith Empire (but definitely dark side). They are led by Darth Vitiate/Emperor Valkorion, an immortal Sith. The two boys are his twin sons, Arcann (the one wearing white) and Thexan (the one wearing black). Short story about them: Basically, while the Sith Empire and the Jedi-backed Republic were fighting each other, the Eternal Empire came in and third-partied them both, basically conquering the whole galaxy for a time until everybody teamed up to destroy them, then went back to their own war.
26:10 A moment like this was supposed to happen in Revenge of the Sith. When Anakin is dismembered on the lava bed, his eyes are blue as he begs Obi-Wan for help one last time, but they fade to the blazing Sith red-orange-yellow as Anakin "dies" and Vader is truly "born." But it was cut.
*Betrayed*
Timeline: Around 3,630 BBY.
Basically what's happening here is that Vaylin (who as you can see is the younger sister of Arcann and Thexan) was discovered to be immensely powerful (far more so than even Arcann, and potentially Valkorion himself), so Valkorion locked her away and tortured her to ensure she would never betray him (spoiler: she does, eventually, with Arcann's help). Also, the mother (Senya)'s weapon is a Lightsaber Pike (basically a lightsaber spear). Of course, it can also be detached from the stick and used normally.
28:20 A bit more elaboration: Objectively-speaking, the dark side is not "bad" and the light side is not "good." But because the Sith (bad) use exclusively the dark side, the dark side is labeled "bad" and opposite to the light because the Jedi (who oppose the Sith) are "good." In reality, there is *only* the force (this is also the viewpoint of "Gray Jedi"). But it is true that it easier to use the dark side since it requires no discipline and offers fast power, whereas the light requires years, if not decades of training to be "strong."
31:10 There is no real explanation for why the Eternal Empire's Sith used yellow-bladed lightsabers.
Also, it's hard to see, but Senya actually carried *two* lightsabers on her (both blue-bladed). One is the lightsaber pike, which has the ability to extend the hilt into the pike length at any time. The other is a standard, single-bladed lightsaber. Also, the reason her lightsabers have blue blades is because she is a Knight of Zakuul. Zakuul Knights used blue blades (and the more powerful ones used orange. Seemingly, only royalty used yellow blades, such as Arcann, Thexan, and Vaylin).
*Disorder*
Timeline: 3,626 BBY
This trailer was animated not by Blur Studios (who did all the previous trailers), but by ILM (Industrial Light & Magic, the special effects department of Lucasfilm). It is meant to show that even the Jedi are flawed individuals.
35:35 Not purple. Magenta (pink), like Mara Jade Skywalker's lightsaber.
37:26 This is NOT 100 years before Vader. This is 3,600 YEARS before Vader.
39:30 Believe it or not, but Malgus wasn't lying.
Note: Satele Shan was promoted to Grand Master of the Jedi Order in 3,645 BBY, almost immediately after her promotion to Jedi Master.
I disagree with your point about there not being a "bad" and a "good" side of the force. Technically the light side is the natural side of the force, with the dark side being a corruption of the force. The dark side goes stricktly against the balance.
The reason why we tend to think of the Gray Jedi to be the balanced ones is because the Gray Jedi are actually two different things.
The first definition of a Gray Jedi is probably what you're refering to, which is someone who practices both the light side and the dark side. Even though these force-users should be the most balanced, they in reality most often turn to the dark side, because the dark side is nothing more than a perversion of the light side, and ends up corrupting them.
The other definition is someone like Ahsoka Tano, who also gets called a gray jedi, or a "true" jedi. These people essentially believe in what the Jedi believed in their early days, which was keeping harmony in the force. This is also what the New Jedi Order believed in (at least in the beginning) after Luke Skywalker brought balance to the force (or debatedly Anakin did). The reason we tend to think of the Jedi Order under the republic time to be unbalanced is because they were, especially in their later years like in the clone wars. Instead of keeping harmony they had become militaristic elitist bureaucrats, with the best example being Mace Windu, who was a major supporter of jedi envolvement in the republic, and it's wars, and even developed (I know he didn't techinically create it, but he perfected it for Jedi use) a Form which used the dark side, all because he saw the force as a means of power, just like the sith, which reinforces the idea that ultimately, the dark side corrupts, either directly, or through thousands of years of militaristic culture.
@@phil385the unifying force philosophy; the force is the force and the darkside is the darkness in ones self, only amplified when channeled with the force.
@@phil385 Gray Jedi is and always has been fanon. Different interpretations of how the force works is seen in many cults, sects and individuals throughout Star Wars but its always been the Force and its cancerous dark side. Mace was definitely a clear example of how misguided the jedi became but he didnt view the force as a means of power or as some tool, that was how dark siders viewed it. Vapaad was his way of channeling his internal darkness into a force for good and is a very personal style that did not translate well when used by others considering how the co creator of the form fell to the darkside as well as his apprentice whom he taught it to.

This game's levelling is really good. the 8 class stories range from pretty decent (Jedi consular) to masterpiece (Imperial Agent). As the imperial agent, it's like playing an evil version of James Bond, it's very cool. the Bounty Hunter is fantastic too. it's odd, I like the non-sith and Jedi class stories better than the Sith and Jedi ones, but as I said, the worst one is still decent. the voice acting in this game is top-notch, except for 1 NPC, I don't remember his name.. it's a flash point boss I think. Vodal something or other.
That is true, the purple saber exists purely because of Samuel L. Jackson or it wouldn't be in Star wars lore at all. it is my favourite colour along with... what's it called... Cyan, which my favourite character in star wars wields who is Meetra Surik, aka. the Jedi Exile.
Yeah smuggler and bounty hunter my fav
Ayeee meetra is the shit bruh imagine a game with her and revan on some duo shit would be tuff
sith warrior is my personal favorite. and the ligh/dark side system means you can play them in a number of ways story-wise. for the sith warrior, for instance, you can lean more towards the light and be an honorable warrior-poet type, or go the path of "I'm going to commit so many war crimes it'll make the balkans look like fucking switzerland"

If he watching these cinematics, he should definitely check out the World of Warcraft cinematics. Those are some good quality trailers too
And maybe the Warhammer 40k trailers too. Always fun to watch people's reactions to those.
Trash ass trailers. FF better
I definitely think Dontai should check out the Assassin’s Creed cinematic trailers too. The newer games have some controversy around them, but the cinematics are still so great. If anything, I think he’d enjoy the cinematics from AC 2 up to Origins. The Revelations trailer is still undefeated today imo.
This is literally the best Star Wars content I’ve ever seen
crazy how much chat got wrong lmao
There probably knew fans who don't know shit as Legends lore hasn't been popular on the TH-cam for a while now
chat is tarded
At this point in history, the sith Lord had been hiding on the outskirts of the Galaxy building up the empire over hundreds of years off the grid, then invaded republic space. There are still nuetrals systems and unexplored areas of the Galaxy. This is a thousand years before the movies. Vibroblades we're still common, as well as shields.
Malgus a menace lol
I love how in the last trailer Malgu's last sentence went over everyone's head.
Its a direct refference to Sith code.
Dontai posting a vid covering these just made my day dude
bro fr said “i think this is before revenge of the sith”
bro like it’s a whole 4000 years before the phantom menace 😭
I want the clone wars team to make a show on this stuff
Ngl they def shoulda made themes specifically for the sith of SWTOR, but hearing Maul’s theme again is always a plus
One of the greatest MMOs with what you can do as a sith.
Everyone who told you the yellow sabers are guards are wrong. The only ones who used yellow sabers in the eternal empire are the ones within the royal circle! The twins (emperors sons) “11” (emperors daughter)
If you notice the soldiers and the mother have blue sabers that’s because they are just members of the empire! So essentially the yellow sabers in that empire are rare!
Finally Dontai spelled the title right
The mother is also the mother of the twins. She's the the commander of the old dude's elite guard and his consort. He banished her because she kept the girl's powers a secret. Also, it's not a 100 years before Vader. It's thousands.
Oh god the "2 Twins, one goes to the dark one to the light"
Has aged SOOOO poorly...
Not because it was a bad idea, but because Disney is so shit they managed to take that cool idea and make it terrible with The Acolyte.
The darkside is like a cancer it slowly corrupts you the more you delve into it and eats you away even if you had good intentions you will always fall
Mace windu became a Jedi master and was on the high council because he could tap both into dark and light side. I mean obviously more but that played a big part in his victories
I love animated Star Wars, you get so much more out of it than irl star wars
Ive been playing this game for a decade, seeing dontaii react to these trailers is the last thing i expected to see🤣
Malgus is one cold brother, he always puts on his hoodie as he makes his epic exit
That man is the most loyal clone trooper there is and his group were ragdolling the sith at the beginning honestly clones shouldn't be underestimated at all
Not clones this was Havoc squad
he's a trooper
but he aint no clone
Fun fact: the old republic is the sith at their peak, and the High republic is the jedi at their peak.
Also mace Windu used both sides.
No he doesnt typically. He used vapaad. He takes the enemies darkside energy and essentially uses it to enhance himself. Only did it against palps.
these are soooo good. if only the sequels could've learned from some of the combat in these
There’s more to it the reason why the fights are like this and better because it was hundreds of years before the phantom menace and the sith and Jedi of this time were always at war but then the Jedi defeated the sith and all the heavy combat ended and hundreds of years past and Jedi became less skilled in fighting it would be like this generation going to war it would be a bunch OF models and gamers

36:03 exact reaction when I see Malgus being revived in the new DLC for the 3895767th time
These trailers are better than the last 2 episodes of the new trilogy by A LONG SHOT
This is pure Star Wars. The original vision brought to screen. Damn i wish there was a movie made like this or a series. The use of the John Williams music is just perfect.
this man dontai really bout that sith life XDD
If nobody explained it in accurate detail Dontai. For The Old Republic the yellow sabers were simply an in-between for light and dark. Not part of the Sith, not part of The Republic.
In later canon, yellow was for the Jedi Sentinels. The guardians of the Jedi Temples.
This is so random wtf, these cinematics were years old dontai is the last person id expect to react to this
Guy at the end is real asf for calling and stopping tho
What really awesome about the first trailer is that Malgus was manipulating everyone in that fight. He was already far more powerful than any of them, but, he feigned being weaker so that Setele and her master didn't see him as being the real threat and so HIS master never suspected that he was going to use that opportunity to kill him. He let them wear each other down so that when he made his move they wouldn't be in any condition to defend themselves against his true strength. Hence, the reason he ended the fight so quickly at the end. He could have killed them all right from the start, but, why exert the energy when he could just let them do most of the work and then mop up whoever was left standing at the end.
The person that said this is 100 years before vader is wrong this is actually 3000 years before the events of the movies.
Sith and Jedi have had beef for literally THOUSANDS of years
i downloaded the game on steam and it was genuinely hard for me to stop playing for a long time. the story is really good and if they decided to remake and remaster this game for console and pc, there would be no better Star Wars game imo.
true but there will never be a remake, they're trying to remake kotor but its been delayed for the past year, that usually means it aint coming out💀
@mustyfelin3 you also realise that it takes a very long time to make a big game like this?
@@loreking486 they switched game developers + both developers delayed making changes to the game becuz they both had different combat ideas from the Og kotor, plus I'm talking about delayed in making the game not releasing it, 2 different things 😭
@mustyfelin3 it still takes a long time to make a game. I doubt we'd get any trailers or relesse date for a couple years now
@@loreking486 I don't think ur listening, I'm talking bout the actual devopment of the game,not trailers or release dates, currently they took about a 6-9 month break from doing anything towards the remake, like months of delaying actually doing any work that's my point, they did this with another game but I don't remember what it's called, they said they'd delayed devopment and a few months later they scraped the whole game, another example is eclipse, they are understaffed so they stopped working on the game
About the purple saber. Mara Jade had a purple saber in the expansion to Dark Forces 2.. From 1998. And she was in books long before the prequel trilogy. Long before Samuel Jackson.
As for the significance of purple sabers. The weilder is more aggressive, as they have moral uncertainty. Piecing themselves together,. Typically use abilities from both the light and dark side of the for Force. In Mara Jades case specifically. She was with the Empire before being turned to the light side by Luke Skywalker. Hence the purple, as she had extensive knowledge of both light and dark side. It can also stand for reconstruction and recovery. Mara was an agent of the empire now trying to find her place as a Jedi. So the purple blades have been around for a long time, but are highly rare.
Can't wait for the force unleashed gameplay 🔥
