OMG...TOO COOL!!!!

Although I hold the original Star Wars movie in near spiritual reverence I am not rabid about the whole universe. Some of the best things about Star Wars have nothing to do with anything Lucas originally created. I enjoy the Clone Wars TV show very much when they give us a little peak into the larger mythical universe. I do however love the older history as portrayed in the comics - 'The Sith Wars/Knights of the Old Republic'. I assume this cinematic trailer comes from a time before the movies since Alderaan is still in one piece. This is a fantastic video and I would line up to see a movie with this kind of quality and action. The Sith fighters are truly frightening and more than a match for the Jedi who I always felt were at their most interesting when they were on the run from evil and forced to apply their philosophy in a world not so black and white. I would appreciate anyone telling me where I can learn more about the story portrayed in the video. Thanks to Super Punch for getting this one out to us all. Watch and try not to wet yourself.

"The Sacking of Coruscant. It was the crowning achievement of the Sith Empire’s 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 Empire’s real motive, however, was simply to lure the Republic’s strongest defenders away from Coruscant and set the stage for an audacious attack. Under the command of Lord Angral, the Sith fleet approaches the Republic’s capital planet for the first time in centuries. In advance of the fleet, the strongest Sith Warriors have flown a stolen Republic ship into Coruscant’s orbit. Their mission is critical – to destroy the planet’s defense grid mainframe hidden in the heart of the Jedi Temple."
