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

The Sacking of Coruscant. It was the crowning achievement of the Sith Empires ambitious military strategy and the moment that changed the history of the Old Republic forever. You may have read about it before, but our first cinematic trailer captures this event with breathtaking action and beautiful detail.

Republic leaders have traveled to Alderaan to engage in promised peace talks with the Sith Empire. The most powerful Jedi have accompanied them to safeguard against an Imperial deception. The Empires real motive, however, was simply to lure the Republics strongest defenders away from Coruscant and set the stage for an audacious attack. Under the command of Lord Angral, the Sith fleet approaches the Republics capital planet for the first time in centuries. In advance of the fleet, the strongest Sith Warriors have flown a stolen Republic ship into Coruscants orbit. Their mission is critical to destroy the planets defense grid mainframe hidden in the heart of the Jedi Temple.

Modern Sith: Treachery, trickery, subtlety
Sith Empire: *"Buenos dias, fuckboys."*

[elevatormusic]

"So, Lord Malgus, what's our plan to kill the Jedi?"

"Let's just crash a ship full of Sith into their temple lmao."

[dartheleven]

Malgus to the pilot:
"Just remember to crash through the front so the ship comes to a stop right behind me, ok? It'll look really cool"

[priximus]

Sith: "How do you plan on attacking our ancient foes' strongest temple?"

Malgus:"Front door will do fine."

[oakwolfcounsel]

Darth Malgus: "Back in my day, whenever we'd go about genociding the Jedi, we'd do it ourselves, not have some servant army do it for us!"

[brotherhoodofgame]

Malgus choke slamming a Jedi without even bothering to meet him saber to saber is the essence of Sith Warrior

[theretarbconsultant]

Fun fact: Despite Darth Malgus being ruthless, he buried the Jedis as a sign of respect of how hard they fought.

2011: This gives me goosebumps

2021: This gives me goosebumps!

Sidius: I will destroy the Jedi by turning their most Force-sensitive warrior against them and secretly manipulating both sides of a war.
Malgus: Knock, knock, nerf hearders!

[Obi-Wan_Kenobi]

This is the sort of stuff I studied in Jedi history class.

3:12
damn just imagine that
you've been a devoted member of the Jedi order since you were a few months old
youve dedicated your entire life to protecting the republic
you grew up in the Jedi temple and in your last moments youre desperately defending it and are struck down
and this is the very last thing you see

[alulim]

New sith: Spend 1000 years in stealth mode
Old Sith: Rip and Tear!

[Sprottel_SFM]

"Should we torpedo the door before entering?"

"Nah man concussions strengthen your mind or something like that"

[CMGThePerson]

Palpatine: Carefully plans and manipulates the entire republic to bring back the sith


Darth Malgus: Good morning

[pIayingwithmahwii]

They really capture the Jedi vs sith fighting styles so well at 2:30 . Malgus’ strikes are furious, passionate, almost hateful. The head Jedi is flowing, redirecting his foe’s attacks.

[ViperEye]

I totally am imagining those Sith in the back before the door opens;

"Showtime, assume the cool pose!"

[macavoja]

"Episode 9 is going to be great"
Disney : you were deceived

[AsymmetricalCrimes]

RIP Master Zallow. Went toe-to-toe with Darth Malgus and killed two Sith like it was nothing mid fight. One of the most underrated Jedi in SW.

[cultofmalgus]

In case anybody wants to know at 1:44 that is Darth Adraas. He was one of the Sith that supported the peace treaty and was later killed by Malgus for his weakness and "mongrelization" of the purity of the Sith Order. He was the apprentice of Darth Angral. Adraas also took all the credit for the Sacking of the Jedi Temple which made Malgus hate him further. He was Malgus' main rival and taunted him constantly publicly and was trying to take Malgus' position in the Sith Hierarchy. Malgus ended up taking him down with his Sith Lightning and then removed his glove and crushed Adraas' neck with his bare  hand. I hope someone finds this interesting. I thought it was cool to share.
