SWTOR-Station recently discovered some new material about possible unreleased trailer footage of Star Wars: The Old Republic. The character we see below is actually a character we have seen in past concept art / wallpapers. Perhaps he plays a big role in the game? Anyways here is what they had to say: And again there's new material to speculate about: In a general game showreel from the US Trailer-Studio Zoic we found three scenes, which are in all likelihood from a till now unreleased video for Star Wars: The Old Republic. The scenes show the Ebon Hawk, HK-47 and a not identifiable Sith. Our resourceful forum user Corric has made an interesting discovery today. Apparently not only the Blur Studios were assigned by BioWare and LucasArts to create a cinematic trailer for Star Wars: The Old Republic. In a general game showreel from the Zoic Studios some scenes can be found, that definitely are connected to BioWares Star Wars-MMOG.  Even though the scenes last only a few seconds, one can draw some very interesting conclusions after watching them. In the first scene for example we can clearly see the Ebon Hawk, Revans ship from Knights of the Old Republic. Furthermore we can assume that this scene takes place on Tatooine because of the two suns on the horizon, the desert sand and the round dome-shaped roofs of the buildings. In the second scene we get to see a Sith, who is accompanied by the well-known assassin droid, HK-47.  In the last scene we see again this Sith with the very intensive look as he parries a blue lightsaber.  Whoever now thinks to himself: "Hey, I know this guy!", is perfectly right. This Sith as well as the model of HK-47 were already seen on a concept art, which was released with the announcement of the game. So the question comes up: Who is this man, who is now apparently the owner of the Ebon Hawk and the master of HK-47? Has perhaps Revan after hundreds of years returned from the Unkown Regions? Or is this a completely new character, which nevertheless will play an important role in the story of SWTOR? And will Tatooine be a playable planet in The Old Republic? Few new scenes, lots of open questions. Credit goes to SWTOR-Station and The Darkside Podcast for their findings. UPDATE: This was actually footage they've shown from earlier this year.
