A new cinematic trailer for the upcoming MMO game Star Wars: The Old Republic just arrived online, and, well, where the hell is this Star Wars movie!? This one trailer is more exciting than any of the prequels in my opinion, and it features characters I'd love to know more about. Set long before the days of Darth Vader, the trailer gives us our first look at the historic Sacking of Coruscant, which occurred at the end of the Great Galactic War (read more about it on Wookieepedia). What I want to know is who is this dude Lord Angral? In the trailer, he looks like Darth Vader's cooler cousin -- a villain on par with someone like Darth Maul; sinister, agile and definitely not the type of guy you want to meet down a dark alley. Check out the trailer below and a full description after the jump.
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.
