I feel like The Nikto species and The weequay are most of the time always depict as Pirate/criminal species. Because their screen time, only showing them being either pirates or criminals. (or, plot wise: Bad guys)
Just to let you know Kintan doesn’t mean grilled meat in Japanese, that would be yakiniku (焼肉). It’s the name of a chain of Japanese bbq restaurants, with the word kintan itself being 金舌, meaning “golden tongue”.
I can’t remember if you guys have done anything like this before, but some breakdowns on obscure or outright strange Star Destroyer variants would be cool!
Well done 👍🏻 I try to recommend this channel to as many people as I can is so informative and really helps understand Star Wars as a whole. Another brilliant video
I'd swear some of the species were in an old school, sci-fi flick called Ice Pirates. The squid heads look like Mind Flayers from D&D monsters. Great video.
This video is fantastic, love all the bright visuals and nice music, man Star Wars lore is SO deep, people can make a 30 minute video explaining the history of a species that barely appears in the movies.
I've always though his name sounds like a Gungan freaking out. Like if Jar-Jar would have screamed " OH NO'SA!!!! IMA GUN DIE!!!" at any point while they were getting shot at or chased by giant sealife, it would have fit perfectly.
Great video! Thank you! As for preferences, I'd like to see more material on the Amanin, please. A sadly underappreciated species, I think. Seeing all those Stormtrooper helmets on pikes in "The Mandalorian," I was hoping we'd get treated to seeing Amanaman in action, but alas, it was not to be.
Hercheal made a deal with the Nicto to trade gold for some famous asian spices of the Guamanian spice fields which make 750'000 towers of spices the most ever made by a huge empire
> 27:17 So... Kintan is a name of a Korean style bbq restaurant chain in Japan and not "grilled meat" per se. Don't know where you got that from lol. Although, the actual Japanese word Kintan [釁端] means "an omen/the beginning of discord/discordance" which is far more interesting.
i figured out what happened, googling it says kintan was the name of a yakiniku restaurant, and I misread, it says yakiniku is bbq not kintan. And now I see in India it is a name meaning crowned, which also makes more sense for the crown of horns on them. But yeah also the omen definition is cooler too
That Bloodline audible clip is insanely sibilant, crazy when they make audiobooks that do nothing to mediate piercing sounds like that, smh. Great video though, ty!
The green hornless ones have always been Klaatunians, why are they now lumped in as Niktos and yet you mention another separate race being Klaatunians, who are they meant to be now? Sorry I'm a bit lost by this new 'cannon'. You only need to look at the original action figures like the skiff guard three pack (I had as a kid, I even remember opening it 40ish years ago!LOL) that had the names on it of Klaatu, Nikto and Barada ( being names adopted by Lucas from the film 'The Day The Earth Stood Still').
@@Janoha17 Right, because he's called Klaatu I always thought he was klatoonian, made sense to me for my entire life LOL! I always thought Barada's species were called dogra but that's either an old Legends name or something from my own imagination. Cheers for straightening that out for me!
That's an interesting twist this species that had such unique genetic diversity, yet did not form any type of racism against each other. Was stereotyped and hunted.
Love your stuff, friendly suggestion. . . either work on pronouncing alien races names more consistently or add your script as subtitles? It's saying nikdo and all kinds of other wild shit across your various videos. Nikdo is easy to get like a typo, other bits, such as subtitles saying rin riv and die. . . WAY less so for one other than myself who didn't grow up on this stuff.
Between cults and drug cartels this race really screwed themselves over. I hope that there is a species offshoot just hiding out in what counts as their polar ice caps who managed to avoid the insanity of their former brethren.
rofl the nikto thought the huts were weak? even in their least militarized form(the huge slugs we see in the movies and such) were far stronger than most other species....
Bloodlines sucks. Laughable mystery, the napkin bombing ha, Leia's revealed to he a terrible mother, Hans written terribly, zero actual threat that instantly wraps itself up in one chapter in an idiotic way. Pointless and bad.
What do you think of the point with Kaltho the Hutt being behind the speeder gang we see in Book of Boba Fett?
You should do a breakdown of the iktochi sasee tins spieces next
Star Wars theory’s brought it up, and mentioned how the gang was specifically taking water taxes from the ppl they killed their
Now do a video on The Hutts next.
Oh wait, you did that last week. Nevermind.
I believe that symbol at 26:50 is just the Huttese glyph for "K," which would work for both Kaltho the Hutt and the Kintan Striders swoop gang.
Talking about audio books, you'd be great as the voice for a species encyclopedia audio book!
+1
plz
Agree his voice is one of the reasons I like his page. Some people are just hard to listen sometimes lol.
Lmao no. Nasally
I feel like The Nikto species and The weequay are most of the time always depict as Pirate/criminal species. Because their screen time, only showing them being either pirates or criminals. (or, plot wise: Bad guys)
Because the hutts enslaved them most they did was tribal war that hutt corrupted them but there are some good ones they just less interesting
you are right, but still on the bright side, ima gun-di wasnt exactly a bad guy, i wish to see more “good” niktos
@@End3rMB I don't think we saw a good non-Jedi Nikto until Resistance.
@@mothmanofaustraliaradio8888 Apparently, the Weaquay homeworld worships magic eight balls.
these videos have helped so much with my understanding of the lore. They’ve made all the audio books so much more enjoyable 👍
Just to let you know Kintan doesn’t mean grilled meat in Japanese, that would be yakiniku (焼肉). It’s the name of a chain of Japanese bbq restaurants, with the word kintan itself being 金舌, meaning “golden tongue”.
That’s a way cooler translation!
Always a pleasure to watch !!!
By far better than any competitor.
Greetings from Germany
I can’t remember if you guys have done anything like this before, but some breakdowns on obscure or outright strange Star Destroyer variants would be cool!
100% these species specific videos are what made me sub. Love these man.
Well done 👍🏻 I try to recommend this channel to as many people as I can is so informative and really helps understand Star Wars as a whole. Another brilliant video
I'd swear some of the species were in an old school, sci-fi flick called Ice Pirates. The squid heads look like Mind Flayers from D&D monsters. Great video.
Another great species breakdown, still asking for a secutor class breakdown
Lol don't worry some guy has been asking for this one for a couple years it'll happen eventually
@@MetaNerdzLore thanks a lot, not many you tubers pay attention to comment suggestions
I Would love to see a breakdown of The Clawdite Species
Still looking for a K’Kruhk breakdown. By far my favorite Jedi
The symbol of the gang and the on Hunt is the letter K in the language nal-Huttese. realised this while making signs for Star Wars legion terrain.
this race is a lot more intresting than i thought
ps next race you should do a video on are the kel dor
This video is fantastic, love all the bright visuals and nice music, man Star Wars lore is SO deep, people can make a 30 minute video explaining the history of a species that barely appears in the movies.
IM ACTUALAY WATCHING YOUR VIDS WHEN I SLEAP RIGHT NOW CUS THEY ARE STRANGLY RELAXING
Ima-Gun Di , that's just cold Star Wars writes - just write his fate like.that
I've always though his name sounds like a Gungan freaking out.
Like if Jar-Jar would have screamed " OH NO'SA!!!! IMA GUN DIE!!!" at any point while they were getting shot at or chased by giant sealife, it would have fit perfectly.
Great video! Thank you!

Maybe you could do a break down on the zeffo from Jedi fallen order. It might be a smaller video, but they have some interesting history
Freddy, thank you for all you do. Well done.
The sound of their species name always makes me think of the Evil Dead Trilogy.
Their species name came from the same place as the Klatooinians.
Steel glass shard sand storms sounds fantastic!!!!
i've been waiting for this for so long, appreciate it boss
One of the famous species in the galaxy
As someone who knows NOTHING about the celestials, please please please make a video about them PLEASE!!!!
Definitely one day
@@MetaNerdzLore Sweet, can't wait. In the meantime keep up the good work my man 😃👍👍
The Thrawn audio books are absolutely amazing and should be given a listen by any level of SW fan.
This answered 1 million questions I’ve always had about the pig guards lol
Love ur content bro
Thanks I'll keep em coming
Neeku is the GOAT!!!
I have suggestion, you should do analysis on the Kubaz species, I'd love to have a video about one of the most least well known species in the galaxy.
MetaNerdz Lore I just saw that you were doing these specific Star Wars Species. I have a lot of vids to watch. I enjoy them quite a bit.
Thanks we have a whole bunch now but a ton more to go, probably one a month at least
Love that they put a reference to The Day the Earth Stood Still in Star Wars
4:50 lol I see what you did there with a cheeky anikan reference
Amazing video
Hercheal made a deal with the Nicto to trade gold for some famous asian spices of the Guamanian spice fields which make 750'000 towers of spices the most ever made by a huge empire
Great video keep up the good work
Your videos are more fire than Atlanta
Tbf Huttslayer is probably the most Badass Titel any sentient beeing could ever get.
More of these would be great awesome thanks for sharing!
Awesome!
Yessss. Finally
THey should feel right at home on Tatooine.
> 27:17
So... Kintan is a name of a Korean style bbq restaurant chain in Japan and not "grilled meat" per se. Don't know where you got that from lol.
Although, the actual Japanese word Kintan [釁端] means "an omen/the beginning of discord/discordance" which is far more interesting.
i figured out what happened, googling it says kintan was the name of a yakiniku restaurant, and I misread, it says yakiniku is bbq not kintan. And now I see in India it is a name meaning crowned, which also makes more sense for the crown of horns on them. But yeah also the omen definition is cooler too
Leia Organa , Princess of Naboo the Hutt Slayer
Human: "Atomic weapons are a threat to our very existence. We must decommission them all!"
Nikto: *"WORLD WAR 5 OR BUST"*
Bloodline friggin slaps
Wow & first 🥇, wish for more SWTOR content like the Alliance Commander soon.
21:39 ima gonna die
I'd love to see a breakdown on the Xi class shuttle
Hell ya love the species vids
I'll get audible again when they do the NJO justice
Your videos are the best🤩😁👍🏼 Could you do a breakdown for the Quermian species I’m very interested 😊
Meat translates to “niku” (肉) in Japanese, so it’s really clever how there’s a member of the species named Niku in Resistance
Good 😊 nice video Man I enjoy 😉 this was a very good 👍 video good 😌 job!!!!!!!!
Very nice
In the book bloodline now cht
13 on audio books.👍🏼. Resistance reborn is rite on canon audio book too.
Audible has ton of great SW stuff
Hey bro, you need to change that ad for audible before it gets you in trouble. You can't keep your credits. But, you do keep your library
That Bloodline audible clip is insanely sibilant, crazy when they make audiobooks that do nothing to mediate piercing sounds like that, smh.
Great video though, ty!
Do they have The Expanse books that take place after the show ends?
lets see this funny edit
Now do a video on The History of The Niktos' masters, The Hutts.
Oh wait, you basically did that last week. Nevermind.
The green hornless ones have always been Klaatunians, why are they now lumped in as Niktos and yet you mention another separate race being Klaatunians, who are they meant to be now?

Klatooinians are the dog-like species also employed by the Hutts.
@@Janoha17 Right, because he's called Klaatu I always thought he was klatoonian, made sense to me for my entire life LOL! I always thought Barada's species were called dogra but that's either an old Legends name or something from my own imagination. Cheers for straightening that out for me!
the begining of the video xD "ompahompa"
Can you please do the legends life of Darth Maul, please and thank you.
Rip Ima-Gun Di
Bloodlines does BANG tho
Origin of the Jeepers Creepers monster.
Herglics and/or Cathars please
Hold on, Aayla Secura was the padawan of Quinlan Vos?! And I thought the Jedi Order was stupid for letting Skywalker teach.
What comic is that 8:45?
What music do you use for the Background of most of your videos? Like at 6:25 for example
15:55
“Egg”
That's an interesting twist this species that had such unique genetic diversity, yet did not form any type of racism against each other. Was stereotyped and hunted.

My favorite niktos are ima-gun-di and neeku.
Not sure if you will read this or if you already know this, but Nikto in Russian, "никто" means, "no one".
Can you do Dromund Kaas
Eventually for sure
@@MetaNerdzLore Sith Imperium
Between cults and drug cartels this race really screwed themselves over. I hope that there is a species offshoot just hiding out in what counts as their polar ice caps who managed to avoid the insanity of their former brethren.
Sounds like a good lie-berry
Hahahahahahaha what a name.. ima gun di
Bro is teasering WW4 when WW3 is around the corner 😮💨😮💨😮💨💀
They look like the monster from jeepers creepers,
8:23 I shitted
This whole time I thought they were weequay in shitty makeup.
The Best Nikto is from CALL OF DUTY
Smoke weed everyday.💨🌴🌴🌴 For your health.
So they don’t care for dating other species?
Is there a version of this without the Disney stuff?
rofl the nikto thought the huts were weak? even in their least militarized form(the huge slugs we see in the movies and such) were far stronger than most other species....
Both Jabba and Ziro died like wimps tho, those slugs just have a lot of money
👍
Interesting maybe it is that hutt who was behind the bikers in boba fett??? 🤔 cant just be coincidence
Curious if you could cover that strange elephant that plays music I would love to know more about their race
Ortolans.
*S A N D*
What about the Klaatu and the Barada? This is blatant racism!
I like all your videos until they start mentioning ties to the Disney Sequel trilogy 😂.
Unfortunately that’s what’s canon they are going to be mentioned in new Star Wars videos rather others like it or not 😞
The green one was Klaatu not Nikto
Bloodlines sucks. Laughable mystery, the napkin bombing ha, Leia's revealed to he a terrible mother, Hans written terribly, zero actual threat that instantly wraps itself up in one chapter in an idiotic way. Pointless and bad.
FFS stop saying the Disney movies are cannon... they are badly written fan fictions....
What game is this??
