You're right. There's many rivalries in Star Wars, Republic vs Empire/Separatist, Smugglers vs Bounty Hunters, but it's hard to deny that the most popular of this rivalries is Jedi vs Sith.
yeah mainly because most of the wars only happened cause the Jedi sent the Dark Jedi to Koraban not thinking "Yeah they won't be able overpower them, Take over them and return with an army to take revenge on us😂". Worst part they could've sent them anywhere else but nope Koraban, a planet filled Dark Side beings
@@James-mm2zc Compared to Vitiates Sith Empire, Palpatines rule was rather short. Better to rule a thousand years over something than 30 years over everything. Unfortunately, they butchered the character with the later expansions.
As for the droids: new tech is almost always modeled after old tech. The droids looking the same is the equivalent of modern cars still looking broadly the same as a Ford Model T.
This is like a reimagining of the prequels. It fits so well if you use your imagination a bit, almost like it was on purpose. Maybe this is what they could have been like
Well first of all it's important to note that this is the OLD republic, so straight off the bat any differences in new and old can be excused on the basis that change happens. The old republic was embroiled in numerous wars against the Sith and the Mandalorians; in the latter the Jedi even refused to join in the conflict, so of course they would have had an army - but it's not a CLONE army.
@@darthknightwingphoenix2081 Considering that there are more than 3000 thousand years between SWTOR and Orn Free Taa, every Twi'lek of that time that left descendants is his ancestor
I guess you never heard that the Star Wars saga exists way longer before the Warcraft, and has still got way more fans from the day of today than WoW has got now.
Fun fact: The voice actor is Lance Henriksen who was also Bishop from the Aliens Franchise, the original General Sheppard from COD MWII, Brainiac from Superman: Brainiac Attacks and had many more roles.
The original voice of Dural was Lance Henriksen, who voiced Hakett in Mass Effect trilogy. Not sure as to why the voice was changed, other than potentially he was just on hand as the game was being produced alongside Mass Effect 2. He is now voiced by Fred Tatasciore who incidently voiced Saren in the original Mass Effect and probably too many other characters that you know in gaming.
Malcolm Mehaffey Have you played it? The combat is plain awful even for Tab-Targeting, PvP is dead and gone, group content is nonexistent, the writing isn't even close to KotOR level, and they replace smart encounter design with just tossing mobs of trash enemies at you, which given the game is easy as balls, just serve to annoy you for having to use the awful combat.
it sounds and looks great, but i cant help but be saddned that its an MMO and not like the last 2 which were fine the way they were. (i wouldnt mind it if the MMO part was just an expansion pack, not the core game itself.)
I kinda doubt it, since this game is supposed to be firmly placed in canon. Even if the Sith Empire is strong, it'll still end up falling, because of the canonical timelines relating to Darth Bane and the prequel trilogies.
@@richardbold3076 And besides, the Jedi were the ones to first slaughter the Sith, and the Jedi were the biggest supporters of war against the Sith. They had all the reasons to blame the Jedi, even though the Jedi did attempt to protect them and the entire galaxy.
@SodaBomb93 it wouldn't have been that easy, just because you have coruscant doesn't mean you win the war or control the galaxy, the republic would've kept on fighting to the last man and the jedi too And the sith would have sustained too many losses to ever fully recover
@@femtoservants (I know this is a year old) I agree. I honestly don't trust Disney with anything, anymore. I don't even want a few certain someones to go near SWTOR. But, that's just my opinion.
Guys look, im not an english native speaker and without a sub it kinda hard for me to listen to this but can you guys tell me why the Emperor sign the treaty instead of conquer the Coruscant?
In universe the both sides grew close to collapsing under the logistical weight of total galactic war. Furthermore the empire couldn't hold Coruscant or the Republic at large for that matter, the best they could reasonably hope was a ceasefire that let then build up faster then the Republic(which the treaty of coursant did), in addition to these the Emperor wanted peace for his own "eating the galaxy" plans. From a out of universe prospective, cold wars between great powers are the perfect setting for all kinds of stories and games about spying, conspiracies, grulliea warfare and so to tell these stories in the star wars universe the empire needed to offer a temporary peace and the Republic needed to accept it
How is it these people can come up with a compelling backstory for a game but a 50% women movie storyboard just want back the Glory Days of the Empire AGAIN?
@@eddyeddyd That wouldn't be bad. But I'd make it an optional feature for people who'd just wanna play the story. Maybe some of those things are already in the game. I have no idea as I only play it because of the story.
One thing I cannot fully understand from the expanded SW universe. In the film series, it is only in the second prequel that the Republican Clone Army is created, and before that the only military arm of the Republic were the Jedi. No? Then why do we see Clone Army troops in history that predates that event? And why do Sith armies contain robot troops that look like Trade Federation troops?
The Galactic Republic, Galactic Empire, First Order/New Empire have always had their troopers wear similar white armor sets. They're not clones, they just love white.
IMakutaI It gives the troops a menacing look. Black armour is even more menacing, but that was reserved for openly evil Empires (basically Sith Empires).

this sounds like ww1 end and ww 2 starting
It is. You've just been looking in the wrong places apparently.

dunno, but my new headcanon(thanks to your comment making me notice him) is that he is the ancestor of Orn Free Taa.

Is that a Predator/Yautja Jedi Council member?
Just look at the first Jedi on the left at 1:58.
That predator probably took the job as a Jedi so he can grow to be a better warrior
The Sith sure did a number on the temple!!!
Really can't wait for this, has alot of potentail.
(:
i can' t wait to role-play as a republic jedi it will be so awsome
Can't wait to role-play a Republic trooper.

Just imagine master gnost dural narrating your history class.

Pretty the voice of Nost Dural is different in Jedi under siege.

I really wish they finished these
@JediMaster08021 Actually, I saw the real Emperor's face and Malgus is DEFINITELY not him.
nobody said Malgus was the Emperor
PEACE IS A LIE :)
THERE IS ONLY PASSION
When will the rest of the history be upload
They cancelled them because before the Great Hyperspace War, really none of it mattered to the narrative of the story.
Can't wait to role-play a republic Jedi diplomat.
I just Can't wait to role-play as a republic jedi.
Ahhh gold old classic EU.
The game may have been shit, but these Lore videos are fantastic.
Really have you tried the game since the 4.0 update
What's so bad about the game?

Thomas Henry I've just been waiting until they release it for mac or I finally buy a non apple computer
Thomas Henry Do you think they'll ever release a Knights of the Old Republic 3?
Does any one who this voice actor is? I can picture his face but his name escapes me.
Lance Henriksen.
Oh shit theyre going to Tyhton in the Mandalorian
Aw man, it looks AWESOME! Can't wait xD
it sounds and looks great, but i cant help but be saddned that its an MMO and not like the last 2 which were fine the way they were. (i wouldnt mind it if the MMO part was just an expansion pack, not the core game itself.)
11 years ago...
I’ll love to have rakata as a playable race someday :)
Hopefully we'll get a proper KOTOR III one day... nothing wrong with an MMO but a real third Knights would rule.
hopefully i'll get SWTOR one day..
1:57 is that Oun Fre Taa?
I kinda doubt it, since this game is supposed to be firmly placed in canon. Even if the Sith Empire is strong, it'll still end up falling, because of the canonical timelines relating to Darth Bane and the prequel trilogies.
There is no place for pacifists in either the Galactic Republic or the Sith Empire.

why would the senators blame the jedi for what happened?

I wonder what the Emperor's real name is?
Late response but it's Vitiate.
Pretty late
It's Joshuwey
@@MNN1991 no, the Emperor's true name is Tenebrae. Darth Vitiate is the title that Marka Ragnos awarded him and which he used as an emperor.

can i see the original webpage with the info
y are u telling me to do that, it says nothing about who the voice actor is
lol ok i thought you were being serious for a second
