“Star Wars: The Old Republic,” set 3000 years prior to the classic “Star Wars” trilogy and 300 years after “Knights of the Old Republic,” unfolds in a time of precarious peace between the reemergent Sith Empire and the Galactic Republic post an intense war. The storyline expands with the game’s fifth expansion, the “Knights of the Fallen Empire,” which introduces the powerful Eternal Empire. Its heirs, twins Arcann and Thexan, rapidly overpower the Republic and the Sith Empire with a formidable and unexpected onslaught.
Although its initial reception was mixed, “The Old Republic” excels as a successor to the beloved predecessor and enhances with every expansion, delving deeper into the lore of “Star Wars” and its ancient eras. The promotional content for “Knights of the Fallen Empire,” particularly the trailer, offers a captivating glance into the epic, devastating tale of Arcann and Thexan, punctuated by heartache and unforeseen developments. There’s a depth to the narrative exploring the twins’ journey, with one succumbing to darkness and the other striving against it, all culminating in tragedy.
The implications for the plot trajectory of “The Acolyte” are ominous, to say the least. Drawing parallels with Arcann and Thexan’s storyline, it appears imminent that “The Acolyte” may lead to a confrontation between siblings, potentially concluding with a fatal outcome for at least one party.
