Hello boys and girls and welcome once again to another of our weekly MMOG quizzes!  As you know, we here at The Drew Wood Quiz Power Hour (which is what I'm calling it today) occasionally pump out a weekly quiz based on a specific game.  With 2011 here in full force and the major releases that seemed so far away a short while ago now seem to be just around the corner.  To celebrate, I'll be doing a Quiz this week centered around one of those major releases: Star Wars: The Old Republic.

While I am young enough to have missed the original Star Wars trilogy's full glory in theatres (I was born shortly before Return of the Jedi first hit silver screens), my love of the trilogy knows no bounds.  It's why I played Knights of the Old Republic, and it's why I'll be trying The Old Republic.  So sit back with a cup of hot cocoa, relax, put on your favorite John Williams score (might I suggest Empire Strikes Back?) and sink into that mystical world a long time ago, in a galaxy far...far away.

Q: What is the name of the tyrannical Sith Lord whom we first caught a glimpse of kicking all sorts of Jedi behind in the first cinematic trailer for the game, entitled "Deceived"?

The shadowy, mysterious Darth Malgus first appeared in the trailer and has become a fully fleshed out character within the Star Wars universe in such a short time.
