New Star Wars: The Old Republic trailer highlights Mandalorians

New Star Wars: The Old Republic trailer highlights Mandalorians

Star Wars fans should get a kick out of BioWare's fourth timeline holorecord trailer. Titled "The Empire Changes Strategy," this video focuses on the return of the Mandalorians, explaining how the Empire used these proud people to achieve their own goals. It is narrated by Jedi Master Gnost-Dural, voiced by Lance Henriksen.

After getting their ass handed to them by the Republic military, the Empire thought a new strategy was needed to gain the upper hand. They turned to the underworld, but found it difficult to penetrate, even with all their influence. So the Imps decided to be sneaky little bastards about it. The video goes into further detail, showing how they managed to dupe some of the proudest (and most fearsome) warriors in the galaxy into swearing allegiance with the Sith Empire.

Of course, the Mandalorians have no idea they're being played and follow their leader, Mandalore, with fierce loyalty. Unbeknownst to the them, their fearless leader was actually given the titled of "Mandalore" by the Sith, effectively making him their puppet, manipulating the Mandalorians from the shadows.
