  2. Also, notice that the white uniform of Arcann gets darker and dirtier as the time continues but the black uniform if Thexan stays clean and nice.
    As more happens to Arcann, he gets more and more upset with the perceived slights of his father, he gets dirtier, more worn, etc. while Thexan stays clean and calm.
    And then as Valkorian turns away, you notice that his boots seem a bit dirty or dark while his white top seems perfect.

  3. I'm happy you also declared this one as your favorite, it's the same for me.

    What separates this trailer from the others in my opinion, is that this one tells a complete story. And boy is it a story and a half!
    While the other trailer bring tears to my eyes through epicness, this one actually makes me fighting my tears of sadness. This trailer captures the very essence of Star Wars and perfectly compresses it to a few minutes.
    I love this cinematic and watched it at least a dozen times, but it also reminds me how deep the Star Wars franchise has fallen nowadays. It's bittersweet to dwell on the good old times.

  5. *Barges in with huge popcorn in one hand & soda in the other… Wait the comments have started, Star Trek Advert AND Star Wars Review, did the two fanbases start up their heated debates yet?

    Thanks Kai for the game cinematic uploads, so lovely too see your positive reactions to them, means a lot to gamers because most of these awesome cinematics go unnoticed by non-gamers & well noticed & thoroughly enjoyed by gamers, this is one of the best parts, playing through & grinding a game to be rewarded with a beautiful cinematic to carry you through the rest of it.

  6. Without getting too into the lore, it's a third party in the mix, another empire that is neither sith nor Jedi. I like how they show this from the yellow lightsabers and the fact that they're after both parties for power

  7. These guys are the sons of the Eternal Emperor Vitiate from the Eternal Empire, he (the old dude) was actually the Sith Emperor Darth Tenebre. He soul transferred at the end of his life to the guy in the eternal empire Vitiate although he already had a part of himself in VItiate but he did a full consciousness transfer to him at the end of his life and came back and conquered. The Sith Empire was really a means to an end for the Sith Emperor, his true goal was always for the Eternal Empire i believe. For a time they conquered and subjugated both the Sith Empire and the Republic. They killed both Jedi and Sith. At the end of their campaign they present the flags of both the governments and the lightsabers as signs of both conquest and trophies to their father. I think these games take place like 10,000 years before Luke was born. So this is the Old Republic era. About 1000 years before Luke, the last vestiges of the Sith Empire were finally destroyed and Darth Bane brought the Rule of two into true fruition. Darth Revan had been the founder of the rule of two but no one really enforced it until Darth Bane killed off the rest of the Sith and took an apprentice. Also Star Wars the Old Republic was and continues to be great at storytelling and cinematics…., but the gameplay is average but it's the stories that keep me coming back. Also they are not sith or Jedi. Sith and Jedi are ideological groups, but they are not the only force users. Sorry for the stops starts of my explanation its cause i kept pausing and editing this comment as your questions arose. Now that i am at the end of your video i really wanted to say how much I enjoy and appreciate your videos. It's really fun to watch and although i am no cinematographer i have learned so much as a layman. Thanks again dude. Have a good one.

  8. In Star Wars, there is a light side and a dark side (basic, but it works.) The light side embodies selflessness: in essence, being one with the force but not grasping it, but rather allowing it to flow in and through you as an extension of your will, allowing you to help others. The dark side is the opposite and embodies selfishness: instead of flowing with the force, you grasp it and wield it like the tool that it is in order to get whatever you want. The Jedi tend to stray towards the light side, and the Sith tend to stray towards the dark side, but those are not the only factions to have force sensitivity. Anyone who is force sensitive can choose to lean either way, and those rare force users who are able to balance between light and dark (i.e. Yoda) are able to tap into both sides.

    As the trailer progresses, you see they are both force sensitive, but where the "prodigal son" is skilled enough to stay neutral in his alignment, wielding the force naturally as both extension and weapon. The second son, who has always been second, shows anger, resentment, and bitterness, all of which fester and grow and allow him to descend down the path of the dark side. One thing you won't get from anything but the books is that the dark side users are able to draw power from other people's fear and anger. The stronger those emotions are, charging the air, the stronger a user of the dark side becomes. So, all this war and killing just juices up the second brother and makes him more powerful, which he comes to crave. The crowning achievement of any true Sith is the ability to channel so much hatred that their eyes change from their base color to yellow and red. It was a really neat touch for the animators to add in when the second brother snaps and tries to kill his father and ends up killing his brother, causing his eyes change and then change back as he lets go of his anger in that second moment. Someone did an edit of Anakin/Vader when he's fighting Ahsoka (in rebels) where they did the eye change, and it always brings chills. This is probably my favorite of the Old Republic trailers.

    Hope that clears up why these guys are hunting both factions, and how they are able to "fall to the dark side" without being Jedi or Sith, necessarily.

    EDIT: Typically, the easiest/best way to fully convert someone to the ways of the Sith is to have them kill/sacrifice someone that they love (At this point, pretty sure this has become a trope.) The logic behind this is more than likely that most people reach their darkest and most emotionally volatile point right after the tragic loss of a loved one.

  9. My favorite one in all of the series.
    It's badass but tells a neat story (neater when you know the clues like lightsaber colors πŸ˜‰ ).
    Characters are well defined with little to no words.
    And the emotions he goes through after killing his brother 'die / yeah I won / oh sh!t my brother / what have I done / what am I going to do without him"?
    It is sooo good.

  10. It's a third party faction. Neither sith nor jedi, neither light nor dark, but powerful with the force. They call themselves the eternal empire, and their seat of power is the eternal throne.
