It's known that the first season of KotFE ends with chapter 16 but the saga continues in season 2,
THE REST OF THE ARTICLE CONTAINS SPOILERS, YOU MIGHT FIND OUT SOMETHING YOU DON'T WANT TO WHEN SCROLL DOWN
The plot
"A man can have anything - if he's willing to sacrifice."
I pressume you know this quote. If not, check out the trailer on SWTOR's official channel.
In epitome, there is new Empire, Zakuul Empire. Two brothers, Arcann and Thexan and the Emperor who seems not to care how many improvements they had achieved. Both brothers grew up into men, fighting wars and other stuff, then Arcann gets angry and wants to kill daddy. Instead, he fights his own brother and eventually kills him. Daddy comes and offers hand, telling him to come with him. Sacrifice in nutshell.
The Protagonist, you
In the beggining of KotFE you're that famous (insert title) who had taken care of many dilemmas in the galaxy (such as striking down Revanites on Riishi, then confronting Revan himself, taking care of the Emperor possessing host bodies on Ziost... just a normal day schedule, even for a non-force user, sure). Of course, you're also recognized as a hero, depends on the class story, doesn't matter you played it or not.
The actual sense, by the way
To me, the plot makes more sense when you play as Jedi Knight. Not that I'm complaining about playing this story with other classes but it just does. The Emperor is Knight's biggest enemy since the original story. He made the character serves him as a fella of the dark side. When confrontating him the second time, the Knight strikes him down, thinking he's dead. But the Emperor became more like an entity which you will find out in the end of Shadow of Revan. Then there's Rise of the Emperor and here we are KotFE: you thought you killed me but it's a trap. I actually managed to live as another man, building a new Empire here on Zakuul, just to make you know.
Becoming the Outlander
You're becoming this popular Outlander the whole Zakuul actually hates because its people loved the Immortal Emperor whose murder you're accused of (whether it was you or Arcann who killed him, you're the accused one in the end, may the justice be with you). Seriously do they know what actually happened in the galaxy? Well, whatever.
Anyways, you're frozen in carbonite for something like five years. The whole galaxy is a mess, Arcann became the Emperor of the Eternal Empire and your allies are finding a way to rescue you while you're having pretty crazy visions with Valkorion in your mind, literally dying because of the imperfect carbonite freezing.
Inside your head
Everyone is shocked you actually killed the Immortal Emperor. Killed. The Immortal Emperor. Wait, what? Whatever. But you know too wel you haven't taken rid of him yet. YET.
From what I know, he's more like entity than living being made of meat and bones. So well, that's the immortality he possesses.
Everytime lives are at stake or you're out of strenght, the Emepror appears to offer you his power. It's up to you if you accept or not and it's supposed to decide your fate. Which, until now, had not. "Decisions matter." Of course.
The Alliance
When rescued, you're having quite problems on your way to escape but you manage to get to Odessen where you're building up your Alliance and also becoming its Commander (though, you were destined to be him from the beggining). It seems they all love you whether you give them inspiring or opressive speech. The goal is, of course, destroying the Eternal Empire, whatever the cost is.
In next chapters you're looking for allies who might join your Alliance. However, there are some options which might end up with your allies leaving your Alliance or with their death. Still, it's quite obvious due to what the options are.
The Alliance is then getting ready for the assault which comes in the very last chapter. Hope it will be worth all the waiting AND MONEY.
Bioware, please. BIOWARE, I BEG YOU. MAKE IT WORTH IT.
Now we have it, I guess.
