Malgus is the Vader of the Old Republic. From the cool factor, to the power, to the brutality. I wish Disney wasn't in control of Star Wars. I want a Malgus movie SO badly
Darth malgus is such an awesome villain and really amazing and badass and seeing him at the peak of his power was really awesome and badass in my opinion.
Nice job Central. Excellent content as always and looking forward for more Malgus lore. That little scene between Shae and Malgus definitely has me excited for what is coming next.
Geez, this was awesome! Thanks man, this was my first ‘Explained’ project by you, and I can’t believe how much effort was put into this. So appreciated; nice work. Edit: It is very helpful that you included the spelling of names of some of the characters. The names tend to have unique spellings, which can make it difficult to do follow up research.
My top three Sith Lords: 1. Darth Revan 2. Darth Bane 3. Darth Malgus Malgus was in 6th place but after reading the novels, he knocked Vitiate down to 5th right under Nihilus.
To all malgus fans,fuxk yahes not just the best duelist he's also alot stronger in the force than ppl think what a great series,,,truly he's a slight diff version of vader 3 thousand years prior
I do hope this new expansion gets another cinematic trailers similar to rise of the enteral throne and fallen empire because those cinematics were really awesome
@@SWCentral oh i agree one hundred percent all of them including betrayed is a cinematic master like you said so i am hoping really hoping we get more like that in that future expansion because that would be really awesome and badass in my opinion.
@TevyaSmolka Disney Lucasfilm Kathleen Kennedy and David filoni are against strong masculine high testosterone alpha male characters why do you think they deconstructed luke obi wan vader and thrawn ?
I’d love a what if story where Malgus leads the CIS against the Republic with Sidious in control. The clone wars would have been very interesting if the leaders of both sides were sith of different ideologies, sidious being of the rule of 2 and Malgus following his vision of the sith. I can see the clones and Jedi collide with droids and dark siders, except this war would only have one army for each sith, rather than one sith controlling both.
Malgus is a prime Sith. A true warrior of the dark side. The way he abandons the Sith empire after they made peace with the Republic and their Jedi. For they went against the Sith Code itself.
@SWCentral He crawled out of the mountain and continued the fight. Its the same as Windu vs Sidious. Windu won the fight, but lost because of Anakin. Malgus won the fight, but lost because of Malcom, the trooper who detonated the grenade in Malgus' face. Point is...Shan couldn't beat Malgus in 1 v 1. Same as Sidious not being able to beat Windu in a 1 v 1.
@@SoulKiller7Eternal Well actually he was picked up in a shuttle but decided to drop back in. Where he was injured some more. I understand what you’re saying but it’s splitting hairs hehe… Yes he almost beat her and Malcom “saved” her however, Satele still dealt the finishing blow. I’m not saying Satele is better, I’m just saying she won the exchange, in the end. Appreciate you my friend!
Deceived. (All the Old Republic books are great, imo.) It also features Aryn Leneer stuff, who I don't necessarily care for so those parts are boring to me until they intersect with Malgus, but the Malgus content alone is well worth a read.
I’m not sure Jace saver her, I feel he just more interrupted and tried to weaken Malgus. Satele gathered her power and just blasted him instead. Hard to say with that one.
@@mirkojacimovic1271Ouch. Tough crowd. Although I guess I feel similar to the newer Jedi - there aren’t any I can think of, offhand, I respect…I guess Ben. And I can’t stand Luke, Yoda, most of that gen’s Council… The Padawan free for all at the Geonosis ‘rescue’ was just an embarrassment (even watching clips of the ‘charge’ made me wince), that killed way too many Clones solely because the Jedi were such terrible military commanders. But Satele? I don’t know…speaking ill of her is akin to blasphemy!
@ That’s also true! Unless Malgus’ body was swapped out for the bringing lightsaber hilts scene, in the trailer. They might have wanted to leave Malgus out of it as most people thought he was dead.
@@MrWill9002 What you’re referring to is John SWTOR. Which is just the default light side Jedi Knight. Many people see the JK as the canon character, sure… but that’s not official. There is no one single way to play through. This is a semantics argument :) not a big thing my friend.
@@MrWill9002 That would cause several plot holes and inconsistencies across the board. It is not so simple. But I digress haha… you do you my guy I’m just happy for you to be happy!
Just makes no sense they keep bringing him back but don't give you that choice you know I definitely can't be the only one to feel that way about being able to side with him. They just keep bringing him back for us to beat makes alot of sense
Malgus was a lazy coward. He should have talked to his wife and worked together with her as bait to draw out his political enemies and killed them together. Instead he killed her.
He might be a lot of things, but he wasn’t lazy. And killing her for living consistent with his principles was likely one of the most difficult things he’d done, which doesn’t mesh with cowardice. If he was Jedi, they could have worked it out, but he’s Sith, and she was a weakness - a vulnerability his enemies would exploit. The rogue Jedi Aryn Leneer actually kidnapped Eleena Daru, for personal reasons. His Sith ‘colleagues’ would do worse if and when it ever became advantageous for their advancement. I’m not advocating for what he did - I think it just reinforces what a monster he is. And as repulsive as we might find it, any Sith who understands the backstory would approve. Eleena wasn’t Malgus’ wife.
Malgus was definitley a memorable sith, I love his whole storyline and background.
Me too!
"He's actually 75 years old in this cinematic and still kicking a**."
That line is just pure perfection!
Thank you thank you 🙏

100% badass!
@@SWCentralindeed 100% a badass and plus technically speaking was right about the sith empire destroying itself.
My favorite sith always was and always will be
I wish Malgus is canon cuz he’s one of my most favorite Sith Lords I’ve seen in Star Wars. He’s the reason I ever played Star Wars The Old Republic
His name is Canon I believe :) just not his story yet. The Vader comics have references to Malgus.
My favorite Sith for sure . Even sidious tried to train Vader to be like malgus .
Great video I can only wonder what’s going to happen with Malgus next.
The coolest character in the Old Republic era!
If I didn’t know any better I would have said that Broad Sword wanted to make Malgus the star of a new game.
Oh... Yes please :3
That would be awesome. It's always funny to tease Malgus. 😁
his cutscenes are so fire
Malgus is what sideous hoped vader to become
Nice job Central. Excellent content as always and looking forward for more Malgus lore. That little scene between Shae and Malgus definitely has me excited for what is coming next.
You got it! Can’t wait to see how this unfolds either, I have a feeling Malgus might do something big.
It is good content

"i don't want peace. i want PROBLEMS! ALWAYS!" - darth malgus probably
Dawg that’s HARD AF for a bad guy !!!
Marc Thompson is a freaking legend
Yes he is ❤️
Thompson is goat va in my book
awesome video! Malgus is such an intriguing character, my fav of all time.
He is awesome :)
This made my whole day great video man as always
Glad you like it friend!
My favorite Sith
I hate how he became our enemy again, I would've loved for him to be a permanent companion for Sith Players he's just so cool.
Agree
Malgus and mando army is a match made in sw heaven cant wait for the next expansion trailer
We’re due another expansion by February next year, if we follow the same pattern as the previous years.
@@SWCentral thanks for letting me know
Much better music my friend, this is top tier story telling.
I'm glad you like the change-up! Thanks for coming back to check it out
It really is. I was immediately sucked in to his story telling abilities.
My top three Sith Lords:
1. Darth Revan
2. Darth Bane
3. Darth Malgus
Malgus was in 6th place but after reading the novels, he knocked Vitiate down to 5th right under Nihilus.

They won't make it anymore since Disney won't allow it it's very expensive and they aren't using martial artist to do the choreography anymore
@@alsimmonshellspawn6021 that doesn’t make any sense

That would be interesting! Sidious uses the world between worlds to kidnap Malgus and unleashes him against the Republic.

He da 🐐
Criminally under utilised in swtor
I'm a little buzzed and you sound exactly like this fable lore channel I used to watch and it's tripping me out
Haha! I think I’ve heard this before or similar. I have a Hull accent, similar to the Starks in game of thrones and such.
I love these characters so much in this game, but I really wish they were all part of a better game that’s not an mmo
More single player games would be sweet! I’d still love a Skyrim sized Star Wars game.
Satele didnt beat him in combat. She won because of help. Had the trooper not save her, Malgus would've killed her for certain.
Agree, but the context is that she won. She yeeted him into the mountain. Fight over. She moved onto the next chump.
@SWCentral He crawled out of the mountain and continued the fight.

i would like to see Malgus on live action i dont care if is just a holocron recording
I would also like that!
what game is this
Star Wars the old republic :)
wished we had more of Marr rather than another traitor sith
Peace is a lie🤺
Marr gone now though :( he became one with the force
Is there a Darth malgus book?
Indeed! It’s called “Deceived” and it goes into amazing details for the sacking of Coruscant and what happens in the days after.
Deceived. (All the Old Republic books are great, imo.) It also features Aryn Leneer stuff, who I don't necessarily care for so those parts are boring to me until they intersect with Malgus, but the Malgus content alone is well worth a read.

Satele Shan was saved two times against Malgus.

*devotion*
So it wasn’t arcann and thexan who bought Malgus to valkorion? That’s always what I’ve been told.
It’s possible that Acina gave Malgus to the eternal empire as tribute and then recovered him again later. It can fit either way :)
@ thexan prob would have been killed at that point.
@ That’s also true! Unless Malgus’ body was swapped out for the bringing lightsaber hilts scene, in the trailer. They might have wanted to leave Malgus out of it as most people thought he was dead.
@@SWCentral who knows. I feel like the creators wanted us to create our own versions of how his story really ended.
@@SWCentral but I mainly said that because you didn’t mention thexan in your response to my first comment.
Actually canonically Gnost-Dural survived the duel but was badly wounded
No that’s if you play light side. He super dead in my play throughs. The canon story is the one you enjoy most.
