The Final Death of Vitiate | Star Wars: The Old Republic

The Sith Warrior puts an end to the greatest evil in the galaxy once and for all

[Lazr]

Last death of the Emperor, we pinky promise.

[MatthewHWise]

"In the end you are nothing"
"As the Darkness takes me I am nothing"
"Now I know how you feel old friend"

[Hiddenman]

Damn, even in death Revan is still banishing people to the shadow realm....

[mp]

Can we all appreciate the fact that the theme being used for his demise is the Funeral theme for Qui-Gon and Padmé/Anakin?

[atlasprime]

If you think about it, this is the true ending to the KOTOR “trilogy”.

Revan returned.

Meetra returned.

MC using Malek’s death quote.

It all finally came together for this one moment.

[Footsoldier]

I still consider his death in kotet to be his real final death since that was his spirt, this was just a
shattered memory of himself, But I really loved the ending where all those people show up. It brought back so many memory's of when I met them earlier in the story.

[empressofvibes]

I love this final, final ending for him. 'Cos my current laptop can't really handle SWTOR, I decided (after practically being raised on the kotor games, the Revan novel and a few other comics and things) to just pore over all the lore of the Emperor and his story and the emotions oh god
Seeing everyone is just such a powerful moment for me, particularly Revan and Surik. Revan was always, to me, a favourite character but Surik's fate at the hands of Scourge hit me like a truck and I hated Scourge for a while afterward (though her being a force ghost for a while to help Revan provides some solace)
I think of Vitiate as being the ultimate big bad of the Old Republic era and this takedown of him was, for me, so satisfying and epic. Just the sheer amount of emotion imagining every game, comic, novel, etc has led to this. The death of this man who's been alive since the Great Hyperspace Wars and has been influencing events in the galaxy to some degree as far back as manipulating Mandalore the Ultimate into starting the Mandalorian Wars, which is what ultimately pushed Revan (and by extension, Surik, Malak, and so many more) to do what they did.
I'm sorry, I feel like I've gone on quite an overflow of words here. I just get so emotional at this. The Old Republic has always been my favourite era of star wars and this feels like the end of the story that I've been following on and off since I was a kid. I'm sure more story will still come. But this just has such finality to it for me. A fair few overarching stories in star wars haven't had an end that I've resonated with so much and so I'm glad this one did.
Edit: Oh, and, slight turn of theme, but do my ears deceive me or is that Kotor 2 music playing around the start there? (sorry, am too lazy to timestamp) 'Cos I think it is and that just makes it better

[schinkrio]

Giving Meetra a speech part in this scene is a rather nice gesture to say "Hey, we got two KotOR protagonists!"

[MrReco]

They should have ended the rise of skywalker like this.

[Mobysimo]

I am so happy they gave Vitiate an updated design for this. It would have been a bit weird if he stood next to Tenebrae and Valkorion in those plain, low rez robes he had on in the Knight storyline

[thedoomaster]

''together we are the force'' aah ending

[PhantomRedKnight]

Emperor: It can't be! How?!

Me: I am Revan reborn! And before me you are nothing!

[monocline]

I still think that Vitiate would have been a better antagonist for The Last Jedi.

[MrKrossix]

5:22 Valkorion: ''The Force is mine! I command it!'' //// What I hear: *''I am the Force!''*

[ButFirstHeLitItOnFire]

7:59
Meanwhile, Palpatine will eventually give it the old college try to outdo Tenebre. And with either timeline, it’s certainly not for a lack of effort that he’ll come up short all the same.

[Nephalem]

We’ve killed him physically.
We’ve killed him emotionally…
And now we’ve killed him spiritually…
*Erased from Existence.*

[knightoflight]

In the very end Tenebrae was nothing more than a memory. Clinging desperately like a hunting ghost to that which he stole from his countless victims, Life. Now the very power he used to sustain himself and even claimed mastery over became his undoing by seeking what it’s always sought in every era, Balance…

[thedude]

5:33 that sort of echoes Malak's last words

[mr.sand]

A better conclusion than the Rise of Skywalker.

I like how they did a call back to the Consular story with the Children of the emperor, with Master Syo being at the front of the group
