This week, I thought I\u2019d take a look at the notorious MMO cinematic in which the leader of the traditionally \u201cevil\u201d faction and their associates stage a brutal attack on a beloved stronghold of the opposing faction. As the leader\u2019s eyes glow red, they slaughter their enemies and leave the site a burning, destroyed ruin.<\/p>\n

But enough about Darth Malgus, let\u2019s talk about Shae Vizla. The Deceived<\/a> cinematic, released nearly a decade ago, was Shae\u2019s introduction to Star Wars lore, and she remains a popular character years later. In the space of this scene, she deploys all the gadgets and weapons you\u2019d expect from a Mandalorian hunter including this pop-up display:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Based on information from my translation, I surmise that Shae had sliced into Coruscant\u2019s space traffic control to track the arrival and explosive entrance of the Sith\u2019s stolen transport. The display indicates that Malgus\u2019 deception was successful, and that the Republic never saw the attack coming.<\/p>\n

The Aurebesh text contains some awkward grammar and a misspelling or two, and I’ve tried to keep my translation as faithful as possible. In addition, it seems like the text in the right hand column was truncated mid-word. This could easily be chalked up as panic from the controller as they realized what is about to happen or that their feed had been hacked. The version of the Aurebesh font used here includes numbers that match our Hindu-Arabic numerals, and I did not bother “translating” all of those.<\/p>\n

Falling From a Great Height is Never Fatal<\/h3>\n

Speaking of Malgus, SWTOR\u2019s next expansion looms in the hopefully not-too-distant future. While not much is known, Bioware has indicated that we\u2019ll be returning to a story based on the war between the Republic and the Sith Empire. As part of that, there has been speculation that this renewed focus on the game\u2019s original conflict might also signal the return of Darth Malgus, perhaps as leader of the Sith Empire or an antagonist for both factions.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

On the one hand, I am totally on Team Malgus. He\u2019s my favorite of SWTOR\u2019s many Darths, and had most of my Sith characters been given the chance they would\u2019ve gladly joined his New Empire on Ilum. I take the original iteration of the False Emperor<\/em> flashpoint as canon, and there is plenty of precedent in Star Wars<\/strong><\/em> for Sith lords surviving<\/a> exactly the kind of defeat Malgus saw there. Moreover, there is the infamous moment cut from the Sacrifice cinematic<\/a> that revealed that Arcann and Thexan had taken Malgus\u2019 carbonite frozen body as a trophy. So I don\u2019t think it\u2019s a stretch to suggest that Malgus remains on the minds of the folks in Austin<\/a>.<\/p>\n

That said, between the Shadow of Revan<\/em><\/strong> expansion starting with the return of Revan and ending with the return of the Sith Emperor, and Darth Maul\u2019s equally improbable return to popular consciousness just this summer in Solo<\/em><\/strong>, I wonder if maybe we\u2019ve been there and done that already.<\/p>\n

So I\u2019m split and give it an even chance that he\u2019ll be back. Star Wars<\/em><\/strong> needs good Dark Side villains, and he certainly fits the bill, but I wouldn\u2019t be disappointed with someone new.<\/p>\n
