Hey guys, I'm assuming most of you have noticed
some changes have happened to the channel in the past few days
and in this update video I want to go over all of them
For the first minute or so, I want to just quickly go over every single change and give a short explanation behind them
and in the later portion of the video
I'm going to go back and give a more detailed explanation some more context behind each change
I will also be posting a comment in the comment section
Pretty much summarizing this video and just listing all the changes if you prefer to read it instead of just watching this video
First is the name change, instead of Fact Free the channel will now be called The Lore Master
I think the new name better suits the type of content the channel has and what I want it to be
I'll go more into why I've picked that specific name later in the video,
but that's the main reason why I've changed it
Second is the new narrator.
If you didn't know, my friend Wesley also known as Wes did all the narration for my videos
While I did the writing and editing
The reason why I don't narrate myself is because I don't enjoy doing it
Plus I prefer a specific type of voice for the videos that I make
He can no longer do it because he got accepted into a program for a few years
that will make it impossible for him to narrate any longer.
I have found someone else to take his place
I'll post a sample of his voice at the end of the video if you want to hear him
The third change isn't really major
but essentially I'm hoping to make some side series that are different from the main type of videos that I post
These will include animated verses and the like to more laid-back fun videos
I might make with my friends that include you guys
But none of these side videos and series will interfere with the main content that I post that most of you guys have subscribed for
My main focus will always remain in posting the fact videos you guys have always been watching
The rest of this video we'll go over each of the changes I just mentioned about into more detail in specifics,
but before I do that I want to give a quick shout-out
to Andreas for updating my profile picture and banner
and for doing for such a tremendous job in designing them especially for doing it in such a short notice
So be sure to check out his Instagram Facebook, and deviantART page
Where he posts many photos and artwork relating to Star Wars, he also does a ton of Photoshop
So links to his pages will be in the description below be sure to check them out
To better explain my name change to The Lore Master, I think it would help to explain where Fact Free came from
Essentially, it was a joke name that my friends and I came up with
This was when my channel only had a few thousand subs, but then it blew up within the next few months
and then I had over a hundred thousand subs
and now I was stuck with a joke YouTube name
that made no sense whatsoever to the type of videos I was posting
So that's a reason why I wanted to get away from the name Fact Free
The name Lore Master comes from one of my very first hate comments I guess you could call it?
Where a guy got super angry over something I mentioned in a video.
I don't exactly remember what it was as he deleted his comments afterwards as many people
began to like challenge him
and I only have a few like screenshots of his comments from like the emails YouTube sent me
Long ago when I had that feature enabled
But he essentially called himself a lore master as a way to kind of like show everyone that he knew what he was talking about
And I found that to be very funny how he did that in a non ironic way
Not only do I like the sound of the name, but I also want to claim it from him in a way as a joke.
But aside from that, I do think the name fits way better to the type of videos that I make
Plus, within the Sith Order, the title lore master
was given to those who started the history of the Sith and the galaxy
So there's also that aspect to it that ties the name to Star Wars too, which is pretty cool.
For the new narrator, there isn't much to say other than my original friend who narrated
is unable to do it anymore because over the summer he got accepted to a program
that will be very time-consuming for him to where he would not be able to do narration anymore
He's going to be gone away for at least two years
He and I talked about him coming back after that and we're both fine with that
I'm not sure in what way he will come back if he's gonna return as a narrator
I have no idea, but two years is a long time so we'll see when the time comes.
What happens, if he comes back.
When it comes to the new guy, please give as much feedback as you can concerning his narration.
He'll be adjusting depending on your guys' comments.
Don't hold back, he's looking for feedback too, in all forms.
The first video he is going to be doing will be posted this Wednesday.
And finally the third change to the channel will be the extra side series
that include both animation for some videos along with some videos that I'll be involved in
I'm thinking about adding animation elements to some videos
like the vs. series, along with making a series of videos that will be heavily animated.
Over the next few weeks, I'll be posting some example animations to show you guys what these will look like
and just to see if this is something you would want to see
I'll have more information on this later
but this is just a heads-up on what you can expect to see
And then we have a few videos that I myself might do
So earlier, I mentioned how I don't like doing narration, which is true.
But I do enjoy interacting with you guys as well as discussing topics in Star Wars that are more opinion based
Rather than just giving out facts like I've been doing
And this would include doing live streams of like Battlefront with you guys and other Youtubers
and just answering your guys's questions while I'm playing it and just discussing Star Wars
Perhaps I could give a review, first impressions and stuff that I'm interested in
Giving my opinion on like the current state of Star Wars
and what I think of the new movies and TV shows and comics
All of that good stuff
And for these videos, my new narrator would not be speaking, it would be me speaking
cuz I don't think it would make sense to have someone else speak for my own non-scripted opinions
And then there are things I want to do that involve my friends mainly just for fun
For example, I think it'd be fun for me and a few of my friends to sit down and play the Star Wars version of Dungeons & Dragons
I've never played the indie, but always had an interest for it
So why not play the Star Wars version of it or whatever they have that's similar to it
and make a video out of it
But if this were to happen it might not be a thing until after December
because everyone is super busy with college and everything,
but this is something you can maybe expect to happen
And stuff like that will only be posted once or twice a month at most
So you don't have to worry about having...
You know, your subscription box flooded with these side videos that you don't want to watch
It would be just extra stuff that we'd be posting once a month or twice a month
So yeah, that's pretty much everything there is to talk about
I'll be ending this video with a sample from the new narrator
So just let me know what you think of it
*Narrator starts speaking*
First we have Antinnis Tremayne
He was originally a Jedi Padawan
and the apprentice of Jedi Master Dav Kylanu.
During his time as a Jedi, he was fascinated by the Dark Side
and the potential power it could offer him.
A fascination that was amplified when he fought during the Clone Wars,
a war that deeply affected him
as he saw thousands die around him,
with his own Master eventually being killed in battle.
He was later captured and held prisoner until the war was over
After the war, Antinnis was taken to the Deep Core world Byss along with many other captured Jedi Padawans and Agricultural Corps members
which were Jedi that never got picked by a Master, and instead used their powers to grow food rather than fight.
Once there, he and the others were put to a test by Darth Vader himself
Vader was ordered by Palpatine to find worthy students to be trained as the Empire's newly created Inquisitors
who would be tasked in hunting down remaining Jedi.
The test involved the Jedi being given wooden staffs, and then being forced to fight Vader
Vader was able to beat down pretty much all the Padawans and Agricultural Corps members with relative ease
Mocking them, and bragging about how he destroyed their Order.
During the test, Antinnis took a risk and pushed one of the buttons on Vader's suit
which caused the Sith Lord's breathing system to shut down.
Although such an act only caused Vader to gasp for a few seconds before he turned the function back on, it did impress him,
causing him to pick Antinnis and a few others to become Inquisitors.
Now chosen to become an Inquisitor,
Antinnis was trained in the Dark Side of the Force by Darth Vader
Once fully trained, Antinnis became a spokesman for the New Order's youth group
and carried out his duties as one of the Emperor's enforcers
Though whenever he came across a Jedi, Antinnis always tried to persuade them to join him and the Empire
Arguing that what he was doing was the exact same thing that the Jedi did of the past but in a new uniform
Most Jedi refused, but some did join
including Jedi Master Jerec who later became a prominent Inquisitor himself
