STAR WARS™: The Old Republic™ - 'Hope' Cinematic Trailer

The Battle of Alderaan. The Republic's gravest hour. Recently promoted to Darth, Malgus launches the first of many surprise attacks that would become his trademark during the Great War, perfectly timing the assault with a feint that pulls the Republic fleet light-years away. Thousands of assault droids and hundreds of Sith set the heart of the Republic ablaze, and Alderaan's few defenders are swept away with ease.

Unknown to Darth Malgus, small groups of Republic Troopers are stationed on Alderaan, some recovering from wounds, others are awaiting orders. As these brave soldiers take to the forests and mountains to fight a guerilla campaign against Malgus's forces, the Republic fleet rushes back to repel the invasion. With time running out and Alderaan's capitol threatened, it falls to Havoc Squad, the elite Republic Special Forces unit, to coordinate one last desperate stand against Malgus' vastly superior numbers.

That Republic Commando sees Malgus and tries to stab him with a knife! i don't know how he can run so fast with such a humongous pair of balls.

[ArugalTheChaos]

The amount of balls to charge into a Sith Lord with no weapons and surivived in the end is so damn high

[OopsAllStupid]

The most incredible thing about this video is that it simultaneously shows how badass you can be WITHOUT the force and how badass you can be WITH it.

LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT. JACE CHARGED A SITH LORD WITH A KNIFE. KO’ED 2 SITH WARRIORS AND SURVIVED FORCE LIGHTNING.... HES SO

[Robertward]

Anyone who brings a knife to a force lightning fight (and lives) is worthy of respect.

[kennedy]

those were the days when trooper are actually trained in hand to hand combat

[glendawe]

The fact malgus survived all this is ridiculous. Even if he needs a breathing apparatus now, the dude is such a tank.

[thealmightylmao]

The dude without a helmet is the biggest kamikaze i've ever seen

[Lunk]

These troopers gave no fucks that the sith had lightsabers. Sure took them by surprise.

[Ancaneon]

Geez Satele uses her lightsabers like consumables.

[Killzoneguy]

So I just realized. That grenade the Republic commander uses is a real grenade. Malgus just used the Force to contain an actual explosion.

What. A. Badass.

[Japantiem]

That guy just runs towards a sith lord with a knife like it's no big deal. What a bad dude.

[iiPeeMilk]

Clearly, the soldiers of the Republic were a LOT better back then

[thatrandomcrazy]

"Where the sacrifices are heavy we fight knowing that, a single spark of courage can ignite the fires of hope and restore peace across the galaxy." This last line combined with john Williams's score is so damn epic

[LeedleLeePatrick]

One thing I love about the Old Republic era...normal people being able to take on Jedi and Sith.

[squidcorps]

I'm afraid Disney will never allow Star Wars to be this badass, ever again.

[feroohki]

This is how the Force should've awoken

[fruitcups]

I’m sorry but this is literally better than episodes 7-9

[Obi-Wan_Kenobi]

We learn about the girl in our Jedi history textbooks.

[spacepiracy]

The charge off the cliff at 1:12 gives me chills everytime, its so short yet amazing
