To true, the only thing that makes it a bit hard for me to play, other than the fact that I don’t have a computer, is that it is an MMO. Other than that I absolutely love the time period, the different stories, the RPG mechanics, the art style, and there is a ton more.

@@PriyankaSingh-jw9ug Not exactly. Trakata was the art of activating/deactivating to trick the opponent or catch them off guard. One example would be feigning catching a slash, but deactivating your blade, causing the enemy to stumble, leaving them wide open. Or slashing and quickly deactivating then activating the blade to bypass defense. It's a mindgame style. That's not what Senya is doing here. She just turns off her lightsaber so she can beat the hell out of them.
Unbelievably brilliant. Still just as entertaining and intriguing as the day they were released. Kudos to everyone who worked on these magnificent works of art.
@@RB-NZ2 it wasnt stated anywhere. Its just an assumption because cinematics are expensive as all hell and since ea budget for swtor these days is quite limited, its logical for them to just put more money developing content for the game
This may honestly be my favourite of the trailers. It's a complete story told in an entirely understandable way, and it's only 6 minutes long. It's also just drop-dead gorgeus to look at.
Barely any dialogue too. Still managed to tell a more engaging and interesting story than the entire sequel trilogy combined. I’m not just saying that to be edgy either, that’s a fact. They had an over budget between the three movies of close to a billion dollars and they were total garbage.
The sequel trilogy syffered just as much as a result of fans reacting to it intiatily. We know the intial script of the final episode was in fact better but because of the reaction to tlj they actually went with the worse one. Ironically a lot of the fan reactions to TLJ were in my opinion a midquel problen that in fact wpisode 5 also intially had and sadly a midquel dies and lives on its final one. The sequel story is much more subtle for some people than perhaps it should have been and it is connected with the original stories in a deep way and at times that took the counter effect despite it actually being exactily what fans were asking for(including doing similar scenes to the original trilogy which fans asked for but then when they did do that they were criticized for it). It is a story of the effect that the originals had on the outer rim and the consequences in many ways that had for those who played a role in it and for those who didnt including both the generation afterwards and the outerrim and how even good things can indirectily cause negative things that lead to problems within society that leads to groups rising up and trying to return to piwer the exact groups they fight aganist. I would definitely suggest reading some of the journey to the sequels book including "Phasma" as though much of these elements were clear to me when i first saw them, their elements especially through characters like Cardinal and the narrative around him make it even clearer and it really interconnects with a understanding of what led groups like the first order to rise up even more.

@@Tonatheos I mean to be honest it is less about defending the final movie then it is really about recognizing our influence and presumptions that created interaction between both groups in how different groups thought it was going.

I experienced many of the thoughts I expressed and discussed with it then later saw those confirmed in the books. To me as I said the themes were clearly there for me, but they weren't for others. So really it can just as much be taken as a thought on how you get certain themes out too and the problems that occurs including in what makes a bad movie
This makes me hate Tenebrae/ Vitiate/ Valkorion even more, turning a young child into a deranged monster. The real monster was Tenebrae. It also makes me feel even more bad for Senya. Imagine having to face your child whom you believe you failed on the battlefield. A mother fighting her own children is the worst thing.

@@astrobookwormsinger Yes, I don't like how she was treated either. One of the lines that showed her conflict was when she was with Senya in KOTFE and she said "You left us. Left me." The last so sadly. The devs were like you know what, we need a vilain for the final KOTET story lets make her crazy then kill her. Oh she'll unblock her conditioning but only give her one chapter to use it. She could've been as powerful as Anakin. She was more than Valkorion.
Disney blaming its fans for misogyny. Yet this short animation has 2 female lead characters and is far better than anything they've produced in the last decade.
There are a tons of misogynist and racist comments made at the cast of modern star wars media. I do not enjoy a lot of it but that doesn't excuse the hate a lot of actors have been getting.
SWTOR in general has a lot of strong female characters and you have the option to be one such character. Lana Beniko has that ara ara energy for example.
Exposing yourself to the world for fame & money comes with it's downsides. We cannot control 8 billions individuals. Meanwhile, while you 5imp for famous people, they dry their tears with money for very low effort.
You know a game trailer & the story telling done in the trailer are amazing when people who never played a single second of SWTOR got so into these cinematic trailers.
I know she’s an evil character and not nice but I can’t help but feel incredibly sorry for Vaylin after watching this trailer. Valkorion really messed her up.
@@jontaii152 All villains have sad backstories.. doesnt make them any good.. no one is born evil.. the best villains are ones who's motives make sense.. like Anakin turning dark to save Padme.. Becoming a psychopath due to torture isnt really much depth...
Betrayed is also a sad story as well because you can tell Senya cared about her daughter Vaylin so much that she went to tooth and nail to save her from her father the sith emperor unfortunately she failed but she'd at least tried to save her daughter from becoming a monster, which actually the most tragic story of them all when you think about it because Vaylin didn't start out as a monster but a little girl who wanted to be like her brothers arcann and Thexan unfortunately the end result of this story is that well this entire family is now basically destroyed which is sad and depressing especially in a star wars story in my opinion.
@@ryanroubert2483 indeed and honestly I love senya as well because her story is really tragic and very sad but damn it she's a excellent fighter and would go to hell and back to save her children which I approve. :)
@@ryanroubert2483 indeed and another thing I did like about her character is that in the game itself you can help her redeem arcann and in my opinion actually was a great redemption story for her character and gave her another chance to be a mother again which made me so happy. :)
@@TevyaSmolka sometimes i like to wonder, what if the plot of eternal throne saga were the original star wars from 1977. I mean, its a family drama from space as well, and the plot doesnt stay behind in quality and story telling of Skywalker family drama too
The fact the animation STILL holds up in these trailers really gives me hope for the day we get a star wars game with this exact level of breathtaking detail
It's already possible with modern software technology utilising full ray tracing or UE5 no joke, you just need to take a look at recent tech demos from the past couple of years. Issue is the average user's hardware has a lot of catching up to do. We should see some really powerful graphics cards debut in a year's time which will help make better hardware more accessible by driving prices now. Expect to see animated film quality graphics in several AAA games this gen, games like Rift Apart or the upcoming Forbidden West already approach this during cutscenes. Fingers crossed the Knights of the Old Republic remake, since it has Sony's money backing it, will be able to achieve a high level of visual polish!
The problem is not the tech. It is the ideologues who hold Star Wars hostage and refuse to just make good stories. These are the darkest times for Star Wars and any Entertainment.
@@ramaya007 So everything you *claim* is pure and utter truth then? All he did was jus be kind and give a recommendation for some demo tests and you're comin in here all like "CoMpAnY iDeOlOgIeS" and "holding star wars hostage". Here's a news flash. Star Wars is gonna go in directions you and I won't agree with but who fucking cares? If that particular place isn't for older fans than we don't have to go there to still have to enjoy something. There will always be a piece of star wars out there for everyone, new and old so don't fucking gatekeep and tell others what they can and can't like. Mkay?
What they did to Vaylin will never cease to disturb me, especially when I'm going through the wrecked labs and am hearing the details of what was done. Vaylin deserved redemption far more than Arcann, and I still hate that, to put him down, I have to put down Senya, whom I adore. There's so much I'd change about KotET. This trailer cements those feelings every time.
Yeah, not having that flexibility to finish Arcann without Senya is a bit frustrating. As for Vaylin, redeeming her is tough storytelling. If she can just flip because , then it absolutely cheapens the impact of what happened to her. I don't think she was redeemable, and I mean I don't think there would be a way to undo or unravel what had been done to her. She didn't make mistakes or bad decisions that she could rectify and 'come to the light', she was betrayed, tortured, brutalized, manipulated and programmed from the time she was a child. Even if you could reach her...all that would be left would be a knot of trauma and suffering, everything else in her psyche from childhood onward was that monster. That is the tragedy of it, what her father did to her was so horrible that there may have never been a way out. And that was important storytelling for Tenebrae/Vitiate/Valkorian as well. We'd seen his power on a galactic scale, his dominance, his ego, his madness and willingness to sacrifice for his own power. But here he destroyed his own child, brutally twisting her into a monster. And it's unforgivable. Valkorian is played for charm, Koth reveres him, but we know whether it is planets of innocents or one little girl, as Tenebrae, Vitiate or Valkorian, it is a presence that must be removed from the universe. It's been a while, but now that I think of it, was there a path where Koth does more than, 'yeah, I guess' accept that we'll kill Valkorian?
@@ArcaneWolf9 You're not wrong. I don't think heroic redemption was in order, so much as coming to some sort of realization how messed up she is, and taking steps to try to make some amends or at least chill the hell out some. I hated HAVING to kill her as a lightside Jedi - it felt forced and lazy.
@@Jodacro-it4zz I think Vaylin would 100% NOT be into it. Moot point, as she's no longer in that position, but no, I don't think it could. Different trauma (in the Force and mentally).
It’s sad that we received an entire different Star Wars when this could’ve been a new era for the franchise , it’s not even 10 minutes long and it has such a wonderful storytelling, better visuals and a darkness that feels new and refreshing it treats Star Wars with respect and seriousness not with stupidity and mediocrity that we are receiving from Disney . I hope this will be the story of the future this is “the new hope”we the true and loyal fans deserve.
honestly, this trailer and ‘Return’ are my favourite cinematics, the suspense in both are amazing. love seeing senya in her absolute prime, and we see where her guilt stems from. vaylin’s story is so tragic and i really wish we could’ve redeemed her. here’s to hoping for a cinematic for Legacy of the Sith
Wasn't born a monster... Check Child prodigy... Check Turned unwillingly into a monster by an abusive father... Check Mother trying to save children from the abuse... Check Yeah it works out
I lost my sons as soon as I had them, Like their father, they both sought might. But you, you were always the special one, A ray of light, cheerful and bright. You prodigious powers shook us to the core, It caused us so much fear and fright, I was helpless and foolish, and made a mistake That I think I can never truly right. Your father knew power, my child, and I thought he'd understand, But he stole you away, far from my sight. I could have screamed and fought but I let you go, And it was too late when I realised my fault that night. You were my precious treasure, you were my life's light, You were in chains, you were in a constant night. I took you and ran, and fought everything in sight, But you had changed, it was too late to keep you from our fights. And now I know my one mistake will haunt me every night, I will wish a thousand times to have made a different choice in hindsight. I have failed as your mother more than I've failed as your father's knight, And I will give my life to be able to change your fate, to rewrite. (If you like this, check out my poem for the Sacrifice 4k trailer as well 😅 it has only one like so far)
An acolyte of what? Not the Sith, obviously, not the dark side, because Valkorian said himself that the knights know that the force is more than light and dark, satele and Marr backed this up, the reason why Arcann, thexan, and vaylin were so deadly was because the way the used the force was completely different
Those Trailers are beyond God-Level. Its insane how much effort was put into these. This particular one is really sad and depressing but soooo good. Thanks Blur Studios for making this master piece of Art and Thanks BioWare for giving it to us. Just Thanks
I want to see exar kun true power in a cinematic trailer like this but the developers have gone cheap and lazy, the laters trailer has stiff animation because they don't use real martial artist to do the moves anymore
I absolutely love the scene where she attacks the guard during training. That larger, very threatening looking guard being lifted, his weapon splintering and then finally the helmet giving in, revealing that one horrified eye of the before emotionless looking guard.
Such a damn shame how some of the absolute best looking star wars stories are by far the most underutilized content in the property. I wanna see so much more of these stories
Why isn't disney calling the storyboard, visual directers, animators up and giving these people a shot in the movie industry. Theyre clearly passionate about the universe and this is how to do female charectors if you want to focus on them a little more. Its high art and the peopel working on this project who I didnt mention included should be very proud of all their work. I still get chills at teh scene on the birdge ten plus years later and cant wait to share it with my son when he comes of age. I cannot say the same about the the sequel trilogy. this was High art
@@bananerna2601imdb - 3.3 rt - 14% google - 18% If you liked, fine by me 😊 but overall the show is bad. For instance, i liked Obi Wan Kenobi, but i can’t deny the fact the show was bad. Bad cinematography, bad script, cannon brake…but i still like it.
Before John Wick there was this bad ass woman. This is still the coldest mother fucking lightsaber bout of ANY star wars content imho. 1 v 6. Sis has got bodies in multiple systems. She knew how it was going down before the fight even started. She's the main reason I'm fascinated by pyke sabers. I feel like Godfrey from Kingdom of Heaven (Liam Neeson) would be proud of her use of the lightsaber as a weapon even when not ignited. Her daughter is pretty scary too.
Remember there are three canon timelines: The Lucas Canon: The original 6 movies only. The Disney Canon: Everything disney has made since 2014 and on. The Expanded Universe (Legends) Canon: Everything before Disney (Dark horse comics, Novels, the games like force unleashed 1 & 2, SWTOR, KOTOR, jedi academy.) Disney didn't eliminate it completely they are keeping it alive through Disney plus and other games. I've been diving into Legends (EU) these days and I feel like a kid again. Choose your canon wisely....
4:30 ok first of all her guards being like “hey we have to go!” And second of all, the child’s giggle once the black screen between shots hit. Memorizing.
Not going to happen xD You can't imagine how long it takes to make such quality animations in 120min format. And Blur Studio would not accept, no way. But a sweet dream.
@@bilmer7465 yes… although Jon Favreau is true genious in my opinion… all the clone wars series, the recent one with the different « tales » and rogue one. He did in fact understood how Lucas entended the whole thing. Very recently, his work was not very good but he stated yesterday that K.Kennedy is pushing her changes on him and that he will leave The Mandalorian. He is the last hope 😼
Ohhh man I miss these!! I hope they are cooking up another cinematic trailer with Revan or something. I’ll buy a new PC tomorrow and start playing again😍👽🤘
Had to come here and watch this after seeing the dumpster fire of acolyte... More character development, emotion and heart in 6 minutes than all of disneys bs.
And yet another example of how extended cannon writers can do a 4 min clip better than the last 3 movies Disney put out with billions at their disposal... good job.
these SWTOR traillers are the absolute best of all star wars, period. Kudos to ALL that have been involved in the writing, development and conception of this!

We cannot control 8 billions individuals.
Meanwhile, while you 5imp for famous people, they dry their tears with money for very low effort.
You know a game trailer & the story telling done in the trailer are amazing when people who never played a single second of SWTOR got so into these cinematic trailers.
And although graphics aren’t as good in game the actual story for this chapter is aaaawesome.
@@thesovietvorona1007 Soooo good 😅
I know she’s an evil character and not nice but I can’t help but feel incredibly sorry for Vaylin after watching this trailer. Valkorion really messed her up.
So let her get her revenge against Dragon of Zakuul
I think the best villains are ones that you can sympathize with or feel sorry for. Adds a lot of depth to their character
@@jontaii152 All villains have sad backstories.. doesnt make them any good.. no one is born evil.. the best villains are ones who's motives make sense.. like Anakin turning dark to save Padme.. Becoming a psychopath due to torture isnt really much depth...
@@arkenstar3979 There is no good or evil. Only perspective.
@@nickgarcia153 🙌
Betrayed is also a sad story as well because you can tell Senya cared about her daughter Vaylin so much that she went to tooth and nail to save her from her father the sith emperor unfortunately she failed but she'd at least tried to save her daughter from becoming a monster, which actually the most tragic story of them all when you think about it because Vaylin didn't start out as a monster but a little girl who wanted to be like her brothers arcann and Thexan unfortunately the end result of this story is that well this entire family is now basically destroyed which is sad and depressing especially in a star wars story in my opinion.
Senya is my favorite female from sw by far. You cant find more tragic story than hers on it
@@ryanroubert2483 indeed and honestly I love senya as well because her story is really tragic and very sad but damn it she's a excellent fighter and would go to hell and back to save her children which I approve. :)
@@TevyaSmolka precisely why shes my favorite. Its a tough display of tragedy and motherhood, deep content even for sw in my opinion. I love her role
@@ryanroubert2483 indeed and another thing I did like about her character is that in the game itself you can help her redeem arcann and in my opinion actually was a great redemption story for her character and gave her another chance to be a mother again which made me so happy. :)
@@TevyaSmolka sometimes i like to wonder, what if the plot of eternal throne saga were the original star wars from 1977. I mean, its a family drama from space as well, and the plot doesnt stay behind in quality and story telling of Skywalker family drama too
No matter how many times I see this, the ending always gives me chills which I absolutely love.
The fact the animation STILL holds up in these trailers really gives me hope for the day we get a star wars game with this exact level of breathtaking detail
It's already possible with modern software technology utilising full ray tracing or UE5 no joke, you just need to take a look at recent tech demos from the past couple of years. Issue is the average user's hardware has a lot of catching up to do. We should see some really powerful graphics cards debut in a year's time which will help make better hardware more accessible by driving prices now. Expect to see animated film quality graphics in several AAA games this gen, games like Rift Apart or the upcoming Forbidden West already approach this during cutscenes.
Fingers crossed the Knights of the Old Republic remake, since it has Sony's money backing it, will be able to achieve a high level of visual polish!
The problem is not the tech. It is the ideologues who hold Star Wars hostage and refuse to just make good stories. These are the darkest times for Star Wars and any Entertainment.
@@ramaya007 No one asked, take your grift somewhere else.
@@HeloisGevit Truth is not a grift. Keep denying reality. So take your Reylo fan art to those chats.
@@ramaya007 So everything you *claim* is pure and utter truth then? All he did was jus be kind and give a recommendation for some demo tests and you're comin in here all like "CoMpAnY iDeOlOgIeS" and "holding star wars hostage". Here's a news flash. Star Wars is gonna go in directions you and I won't agree with but who fucking cares? If that particular place isn't for older fans than we don't have to go there to still have to enjoy something. There will always be a piece of star wars out there for everyone, new and old so don't fucking gatekeep and tell others what they can and can't like. Mkay?
At last! All of the SWTOR cinematic trailers have been re-released in beautiful 4K quality. Honestly, I would love to see a new cinematic.
they all pretty much look the same to me
@@matthewchristian9591 Then you need help.
Bad release when you watch it on an HDR screen. Messed up shades of black.
@@nameirrelevant1114 same goes for 21:9 monitors
What they did to Vaylin will never cease to disturb me, especially when I'm going through the wrecked labs and am hearing the details of what was done. Vaylin deserved redemption far more than Arcann, and I still hate that, to put him down, I have to put down Senya, whom I adore. There's so much I'd change about KotET. This trailer cements those feelings every time.
Yeah, not having that flexibility to finish Arcann without Senya is a bit frustrating. As for Vaylin, redeeming her is tough storytelling. If she can just flip because , then it absolutely cheapens the impact of what happened to her. I don't think she was redeemable, and I mean I don't think there would be a way to undo or unravel what had been done to her. She didn't make mistakes or bad decisions that she could rectify and 'come to the light', she was betrayed, tortured, brutalized, manipulated and programmed from the time she was a child. Even if you could reach her...all that would be left would be a knot of trauma and suffering, everything else in her psyche from childhood onward was that monster. That is the tragedy of it, what her father did to her was so horrible that there may have never been a way out. And that was important storytelling for Tenebrae/Vitiate/Valkorian as well. We'd seen his power on a galactic scale, his dominance, his ego, his madness and willingness to sacrifice for his own power. But here he destroyed his own child, brutally twisting her into a monster. And it's unforgivable. Valkorian is played for charm, Koth reveres him, but we know whether it is planets of innocents or one little girl, as Tenebrae, Vitiate or Valkorian, it is a presence that must be removed from the universe.
It's been a while, but now that I think of it, was there a path where Koth does more than, 'yeah, I guess' accept that we'll kill Valkorian?
@@ArcaneWolf9 You're not wrong. I don't think heroic redemption was in order, so much as coming to some sort of realization how messed up she is, and taking steps to try to make some amends or at least chill the hell out some. I hated HAVING to kill her as a lightside Jedi - it felt forced and lazy.
She actually was redemable in a sense. She help you defeat Valcoran in the final battle by stripping his powers.
@MindTrickedX24 Could the healing ritual the Voss used on Arcann be used on Vaylin or would she too powerful for that?
@@Jodacro-it4zz I think Vaylin would 100% NOT be into it. Moot point, as she's no longer in that position, but no, I don't think it could. Different trauma (in the Force and mentally).
It’s sad that we received an entire different Star Wars when this could’ve been a new era for the franchise , it’s not even 10 minutes long and it has such a wonderful storytelling, better visuals and a darkness that feels new and refreshing it treats Star Wars with respect and seriousness not with stupidity and mediocrity that we are receiving from Disney . I hope this will be the story of the future this is “the new hope”we the true and loyal fans deserve.
"You think I sent you to learn? No, you had to be... conditioned."
"Kneel before the Dragon of Zakuul!"
Never finished the game
Was that Valkorion?
@@angrynerd4178 Yes, those are Valkorion's lines from KOTET Ch 3
honestly, this trailer and ‘Return’ are my favourite cinematics, the suspense in both are amazing. love seeing senya in her absolute prime, and we see where her guilt stems from. vaylin’s story is so tragic and i really wish we could’ve redeemed her. here’s to hoping for a cinematic for Legacy of the Sith
This one is very emotional and shows the bond between mother and daughter. Vaylin kind of reminds me of Azula
Wasn't born a monster... Check
Child prodigy... Check
Turned unwillingly into a monster by an abusive father... Check
Mother trying to save children from the abuse... Check
Yeah it works out
@@3dpyromaniac560 Mother being banished... Check
checks out, I loved both Vaylin and Azula as characters, loved both of them as complex villains
I lost my sons as soon as I had them,
Like their father, they both sought might.
But you, you were always the special one,
A ray of light, cheerful and bright.
You prodigious powers shook us to the core,
It caused us so much fear and fright,
I was helpless and foolish, and made a mistake
That I think I can never truly right.
Your father knew power, my child, and I thought he'd understand,
But he stole you away, far from my sight.
I could have screamed and fought but I let you go,
And it was too late when I realised my fault that night.
You were my precious treasure, you were my life's light,
You were in chains, you were in a constant night.
I took you and ran, and fought everything in sight,
But you had changed, it was too late to keep you from our fights.
And now I know my one mistake will haunt me every night,
I will wish a thousand times to have made a different choice in hindsight.
I have failed as your mother more than I've failed as your father's knight,
And I will give my life to be able to change your fate, to rewrite.
(If you like this, check out my poem for the Sacrifice 4k trailer as well 😅 it has only one like so far)
Wow this is amazing!
Wow that’s fantastic
Thank you both so much! It means a lot :)
@@astrobookwormsinger your welcome :)
a 6min video more emotion than 8 episodes of the acolyte. Not to mention a far better script despite having no words spoken lol
Now that’s an acolyte
🤮
FOR. REAL!!!
Don’t you dare remind us of that shit
An acolyte of what? Not the Sith, obviously, not the dark side, because Valkorian said himself that the knights know that the force is more than light and dark, satele and Marr backed this up, the reason why Arcann, thexan, and vaylin were so deadly was because the way the used the force was completely different
Those Trailers are beyond God-Level. Its insane how much effort was put into these.
This particular one is really sad and depressing but soooo good.
Thanks Blur Studios for making this master piece of Art and Thanks BioWare for giving it to us. Just Thanks
This is looking so fresh. Please give us a new cinematic for The Legacy of the Sith
I hope so too!
This ^^
Mission failed, they won't get us next time either
I want to see exar kun true power in a cinematic trailer like this but the developers have gone cheap and lazy, the laters trailer has stiff animation because they don't use real martial artist to do the moves anymore
I swear it looks like real actors. Incredible what modern tech can do.
I absolutely love the scene where she attacks the guard during training. That larger, very threatening looking guard being lifted, his weapon splintering and then finally the helmet giving in, revealing that one horrified eye of the before emotionless looking guard.
Can you imagine if they made a series like this? A movie? A short film? Man that would be so cool :((((
There really needs to be a Star Wars movie
don't give the idiots at lucasfilm any ideas
ooo myyyy god damn yess
@@Balloonbot Disney will ruin it
Disney’s acolyte is probably going to be a knockoff of this
Such a damn shame how some of the absolute best looking star wars stories are by far the most underutilized content in the property. I wanna see so much more of these stories
There is so much heart in this 6 minute clip. Give the franchise to people like this and it may yet be restored to former glories
6 minutes clip being more Star Wars than the entire Sequel Trilogy put together.
Probably the darkest trailer of all Star Wars media
I was just thinking the same thing. This is almost as dark as Revenge of the Sith.
And then there's KotOR II
@@Kerimo007 Kotor is the darkest game (and the best related to star wars in my opinion) but this is the darkest trailer
4:25 I simply love this shot. Her bodyguards knew it was the moment to gtfo, gotta praise their loyalty.
I didn't realize that, I thought she was captured
Adolf Kennedy: “There’s no strong women in Star Wars!”
Senya:”Hold my light pike.”
Leia and Padme: are we a joke to you? (Kennedy of course)
Still love it after all these years! If they make a new cinematic for this anniversary IM GONNA LOSE MY MIND
Still, after 10years, a masterpiece! Unbelievable. This is how the new movies should have been.
this would be a new era of star wars, if they have the courage
I never noticed this before, but for a good deal of the fight at 3:30 Senya doesn't have her lightsaber activated. I love it!
She only uses lightsabers twice on them in the whole fight, rest is combat and a maybe knife throw? and the one saber kill is one of theirs
I'm not a Star Wars fan, I barely know anything about the franchise, but this cinematic still captivates me with how well it is done.
Why isn't disney calling the storyboard, visual directers, animators up and giving these people a shot in the movie industry. Theyre clearly passionate about the universe and this is how to do female charectors if you want to focus on them a little more. Its high art and the peopel working on this project who I didnt mention included should be very proud of all their work. I still get chills at teh scene on the birdge ten plus years later and cant wait to share it with my son when he comes of age. I cannot say the same about the the sequel trilogy. this was High art
*This 6-minute cinematic video has more emotion, drama, and action than the new SW trilogy combined.*
This does so much more for me than the sequels will ever do, it's so perfect
I wish they'd (Blur?) release all the concept art and story boards for these shorts. They're phenomenal and amazing pieces of story telling.
Blur it is. As often ! ^^
Who's here to wash their eyes after The Alcolyte?!
You're here for pats on the back. The acolyte isn't as bad as you "fans" think it is.
@@bananerna2601imdb - 3.3
rt - 14%
google - 18%
If you liked, fine by me 😊 but overall the show is bad.
For instance, i liked Obi Wan Kenobi, but i can’t deny the fact the show was bad. Bad cinematography, bad script, cannon brake…but i still like it.
@@bananerna2601bro the show literally had components of the plot that did not align with the chronological events of Star Wars the show is shiet
This is my favorite trailer out of all of them,I love the emotions in this trailer and of "sacrifice",
That fight on the bridge is fantastic - I've always thought Senya was a badass.
Re-watching this becuase even though its only 6 minutes long. Its more Star Wars content than the three new films Disney made. Thats saying a lot.
Before John Wick there was this bad ass woman. This is still the coldest mother fucking lightsaber bout of ANY star wars content imho. 1 v 6. Sis has got bodies in multiple systems. She knew how it was going down before the fight even started. She's the main reason I'm fascinated by pyke sabers. I feel like Godfrey from Kingdom of Heaven (Liam Neeson) would be proud of her use of the lightsaber as a weapon even when not ignited. Her daughter is pretty scary too.
You gave me back my youth! It is a pity that some of my friends did not live up to this moment. I will play as all the fallen Jedi!
Dark Jedi for me 😅
This 6 minute trailer was more intense than the last cinematic films did
man.. This still gives me the chills.. Honestly the video games have better story lines than the movies even..
This six minutes trailer is ten times better than all of Disney Star Wars
I hope that these 4k versions are leading up to a brand new 4k experience ushering in a new expansion! Still so many things left to do.
I just wanna take over the sith empire and have free reign to destroy random worlds lol
She was turned into a monster, tortured, betrayed... But damn, Valkorion's people knows how to tattoo.
Remember there are three canon timelines:
The Lucas Canon: The original 6 movies only.
The Disney Canon: Everything disney has made since 2014 and on.
The Expanded Universe (Legends) Canon: Everything before Disney (Dark horse comics, Novels, the games like force unleashed 1 & 2, SWTOR, KOTOR, jedi academy.) Disney didn't eliminate it completely they are keeping it alive through Disney plus and other games.
I've been diving into Legends (EU) these days and I feel like a kid again.
Choose your canon wisely....
I love these cinematics and the whole plot
I wish that this was all leading up to a surprise Legacy of the Sith cinematic trailer. Been too long since we've had one of these masterpieces.
This was the best one by far. Insane story within 6 minutes
4:30 ok first of all her guards being like “hey we have to go!” And second of all, the child’s giggle once the black screen between shots hit. Memorizing.
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE SINCE THE OTHERS STARTED GETTING RE UPLOADED. This one is my personal favorite 💔💔💔💔💔💔
Yep! Mine too!
It was always curious to me how young Vaylin looks like a possible younger Lana Beniko
Wow I never thought of that...... you're so right though
@@arrowheadwaterbottle6815 obviously this isn't the case clearly. But still 😅
Honestly if we could get a series or a movie with those who made the animations. I'm still waiting for that day
Not going to happen xD You can't imagine how long it takes to make such quality animations in 120min format. And Blur Studio would not accept, no way. But a sweet dream.
@@lupinlapin gonna need a budget like gay of thrones
@@bilmer7465 hahaha yes indeed. But the franchise has been murdered by Disney. In my opinion nobody would be willing to invest :(
@@lupinlapin true, recent work that disney have made had so much potential like boba fet and obi wan but I think they ruined it.
@@bilmer7465 yes… although Jon Favreau is true genious in my opinion… all the clone wars series, the recent one with the different « tales » and rogue one. He did in fact understood how Lucas entended the whole thing. Very recently, his work was not very good but he stated yesterday that K.Kennedy is pushing her changes on him and that he will leave The Mandalorian. He is the last hope 😼
Ohhh man I miss these!! I hope they are cooking up another cinematic trailer with Revan or something. I’ll buy a new PC tomorrow and start playing again😍👽🤘
I come back here to watch this every few years, just to remind myself what star wars COULD have been.
Could? There is a whole game about this
I already like and am more invested in every single character in this then any of the sequel characters
what sequel?
Had to come here and watch this after seeing the dumpster fire of acolyte... More character development, emotion and heart in 6 minutes than all of disneys bs.
If they made the Acolyte based of this it would have been great. Instead we get scissoring space lesbian witch cult shitting all over Anakin.
This trailer is a way better than most of full-length movies! 😊🥰👍
Vaylin's story is so sad. She deserves her own movie.
Not if Disney's doing it. They'll fuck it up.
Ok now we have all cinematics remastered. So it's the best time for a new one!
This trailer breaks my heart so good every time.
Disney should take note.
Shadows of the past ring anew bringing with it a vision so clear that not even the Dark Side could cloud its spectacular glory.....
Now this is story telling.
Got goosebumps while watching it, one of the best Star Wars cinematics
PLEASE make a cinematic for Legacy of the Sith! I'd pay just for watching the trailer!
WHERE IS THE REST??? This 6-minute clip is 100x better than all the new star wars put together!
It would have been so cool if this was how Kylo Ren went to the dark side and it was Leia trying to rescue him.
Could you imagine a world where this was made in place of acolyte
Vaylin is up there in the crazy/hot scale
What the Acolyte episode 3 should've been.
And yet another example of how extended cannon writers can do a 4 min clip better than the last 3 movies Disney put out with billions at their disposal... good job.
4:01 no waaayy! She used the turn on/off technique. I haven't seen anyone fought like that apart from Star wars vision.
6mins and better than a whole trilogy.
Vaylin is one of my favorite characters in the entire Star Wars universe she's unbelievably well written. I wish we could've saved her
Finally, was looking for the 4k trailer two days ago.
Why the F#*k can't Disney make star wars movies like this??? SMMH 😔
Simply the Best Cinematics created for any game and Swtor has always been a blast to play for me.
These cinematics are better than the new movies.
these SWTOR traillers are the absolute best of all star wars, period.
Kudos to ALL that have been involved in the writing, development and conception of this!
I would love to see this as a series
This is better than anything Disney has made!
That little eye roll as a Vaylin gets up the second time makes me feel for her even more
I love the sound mixing when the Sith transition happens. Wow.
Tenebrae litteraly broke her...
I know Vaylin turned evil and did awful things, but the only thing i feel about her is sorrow and sadness.
Can't wait till this is redone in 8k 😎
Has Disney ever seen those cinematics? Don't they feel ashamed?
