The story surrounding the Imperial attack on the peaceful water world of Manaan offers little in the way of movement, but all the more fights against plenty of enemies and the usual clichéd main opponents. We would have expected much more from an add-on – and many fans of the online role-playing game feel the same way. Even if you take your time, you will be through with the story of both factions after five hours at the latest. This offers an opening that raises hopes – but the subsequent crash into the harsh reality of the game could not be greater. It could have been so beautiful: The bombastic trailer for Star Wars: The Old Republic’s new expansion Legacy of the Sith slaps fans in the face with pounds of Star Wars feeling thanks to a nasty villain (Darth Malgus) and a Padawan on a quest for meaning (Sa’har) along with a tragic backstory.

The Legacy of the Sith turns out to be a major patch in Star Wars: The Old Republic that doesn’t deserve the name expansion.
