Star Wars: The Old Republic Trailer Teases New Legacy of Sith Story

A story teaser for the next Star Wars: The Old Republic expansion, Legacy of the Sith, gives fans a glimpse at Darth Malgus' newest sinister plan. The massively multiplayer online role-playing game, developed by BioWare, gives players the freedom to craft their own adventures in a galaxy far, far away. SWTOR's new Legacy of the Sith expansion was announced back in July 2021, with the massive update set to launch on February 15.

Launched in 2011, Star Wars: The Old Republic serves as a massively multiplayer follow-up to BioWare's previous single-player series Knights of the Old Republic. Taking place hundreds of years after those games, SWTOR sees the Galactic Republic form a tense truce with the rising Sith Empire. Conflict between the two groups forms the foundation for players' experiences, with each playable class also progressing through their own unique storyline. Over the past decade the game's plot has continued to grow through expansions and updates, with a December 2021 celebration of Star Wars: The Old Republic's ten-year anniversary also teasing the upcoming Legacy of the Sith expansion.

A new story teaser for Legacy of the Sith, posted to the official Star Wars: The Old Republic YouTube channel, gives a closer look into the upcoming expansion. As Darth Malgus puts a mysterious new plan into action, the ongoing conflict between the Sith Empire and Galactic Republic will bring players to new settings like the planet Elom and The R-4 Installation. While Malgus' true intentions remain unclear, it appears that Legacy of the Sith will end with SWTOR players confronting the renegade warlord once again.

The Star Wars franchise is well-known for its memorable and intimidating villains, and BioWare has created a brand-new nemesis for SWTOR. Playing an essential role in the MMORPG's backstory, Star Wars: The Old Republic's Darth Malgus has left a strong impression on gamers thanks to his cyborg design and powerful Force abilities. Players were able to confront and ultimately defeat the Sith Lord in one mission, although a later expansion revealed that he had survived the fight. In Legacy of the Sith he has seemingly risen to become SWTOR's main villain, as he seeks to destroy destroy both the Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire, though his fate at the end of the expansion remains unknown.

With Legacy of the Sith, BioWare will continue Star Wars: The Old Republic's storyline and introduce an abundance of new content for fans to experience. New missions and locations will added, and they will all tie into the ongoing conflict between Darth Malgus and the rest of the galaxy's denizens. For those eager to confront the renegade Sith Lord once again, fans will be able to uncover Malgus' ultimate plan when Legacy of the Sith launches on February 15.

CBS' Ghosts: Every Main Ghost Time Period & Backstory Explained

One of CBS' newest sitcoms,  Ghosts , features a cast full of spectral characters that each hail from a distinct time period and come with their own unique backstory and death. Though each of the eight ghosts has a wildly different perspective based on their different experiences throughout history, they nonetheless form a sort of family, which is one of the show's greatest charms. After all, being stuck with the same people for all of eternity allows for plenty of time to get to know each other. Ghosts , which is an adaptation of a BBC show of the same name, stars Utkarsh Ambudkar and Rose McIver (who played Liv Moore on five seasons of  iZombie ) as Jay and Sam, a young couple who inherit a mansion in upstate New York. To their surprise, however, the house also comes with several ghostly inhabitants, who Sam is able to see after a near-death experience. These are Thorfinn (Devan Long), Sasappis (Román Zaragoza), Isaac (Brandon Scott Jones), Hetty (Rebecca Wisocky...

The Hateful Eight's Original Ending Explained (& Why Tarantino Changed It)

The Hateful Eight has an ending full of blood and betrayal, as expected from any Quentin Tarantino movie, but this wasn’t the original ending – here’s why he changed it. Tarantino has explored different genres throughout his career; though he’s best known for his crime movies like Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction , he's also visited genres like martial arts (with both Kill Bill  films) and black comedy ( Once Upon a Time in Hollywood ). In addition, he's shared his version of westerns with Django Unchained and The Hateful Eight , with the latter going through some problems and creative changes even before it began shooting. Set in 1870, Tarantino's The  Hateful Eight follows eight strangers, all with different (and secret) motivations, who end up in a stagecoach lodge after seeking refuge from a blizzard. These characters are Major Marquis Warren (Samuel L. Jackson), John “The Hangman” Ruth (Kurt Russell), Daisy Domergue (Jennifer Jason Leigh), Chris Mannix (Walton Gog...

Why Spider-Man 3's Uncle Ben Retcon Doesn't Change Peter's Origin

Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 3 is often criticized for a major retcon made to Uncle Ben’s death , but this retcon ultimately doesn’t change Peter Parker’s classic origin story. Raimi’s third film in the iconic Spider-Man trilogy is often criticized, perhaps unfairly. While the film suffers from too many character arcs and plot threads and would have been better as two or three separate films, it does a more than adequate job adapting the Spider-Man comics and telling a sincere story about relatable, flawed, characters who are intertwined with the extraordinary, just as Stan Lee and Steve Ditko intended when co-creating the character. Uncle Ben’s retconned death may alter classic elements from the comic version, but it retains its most important aspects in regards to Peter’s characterization. 2002’s Spider-Man is, for much of the film’s first half, a faithful adaptation of Spider-Man’s 1962 origin story in issue 15 of the Amazing Fantasy comics. An awkward social pariah, Pete...
