SWTOR cinematic trailer celebrates Legacy of the Sith launch

Here they battle an unnamed Sith over control of an ancient machine, to be interrupted by Darth Malgus, the rogue lord who has turned on both factions of the galaxy. During the confrontation, Sa'har activates the machine and has a vision of her brother also being force sensitive, but ultimately enslaved due to not being picked by the master.

There's a lot of fancy lightsaber dueling going on, and the machine - which Malgus reveals can apparently locate force sensitive individuals across the galaxy - is destroyed. However, it spits out a holocron, almost like a gumball machine, that apparently has plans for building another, which Malgus escapes with - presumably, we'll spend 7.0 hunting down the rogue Sith, again, to take his shiny cube.

No matter what fans' thought of the controversial changes coming with 7.0, the reactions to the trailer across comments, social media, and r/SWTOR are resoundingly positive. It really just takes a well rendered and edited cinematic to put fire in the veins of gamers, it seems.

The real question though, which has been left hanging since False Emperor years ago - can we finally side with Malgus? Sure, he's been a villain for much of the game, but he keeps making legitimately compelling arguments.

As for what Legacy of the Sith is actually like? Well, you'll have to stay tuned for our upcoming coverage and guides to learn more - or jump in yourself, as the expansion is now live.
