No joke, I woke up this morning and was like, I need a new Dark Theorist video. I even got up and checked UA-cam for content I might have missed. Happy to see this drop between my meetings to have something to listen to!
I can see why these abominations were chosen over something like the Necromorphs. Even Dark Sidious would know just how much a threat and danger they would pose. Especially as Force sensitive beings like Jedi would be able to tell if they were going nuts from finsing Markers.
I'm not sure there's a more devastating zombie/infected faction in Scifi. When you get to the deeper Forerunner-Flood War and Precursor lore, the Flood's horror really becomes apparent. Neural physics is a doozy.
@@ericj6636 true the only thing to me that'd be scarier than the flood would be the straight up hostile precursors, which the flood is super close to being, albeit corrupted versions of them
Amazing video. Halo is my favorite video game series, so it's great to see it in a crossover with Star Wars. I was surprised Chief and Cortana were present as well, but it's nice seeing them in the mix to help stop the Flood. Lucky for the galaxy that it was only in the Outer Rim. If the Flood got to Coruscant, and then the fight would have already been lost. Another surprise was the lack of Death Star in the story, but given the lack of time needed to complete the project, it wouldn't have been a good solution. So the Blue Shadow Virus works too.
I dont know much about Star Wars Clone Wars stuff, but this story was fantastic. From the voice work, to the editing, down to the narrative itself. Well done 🎉
My sister, playing Roblox: why are you crying? Me, listening to the end of this while cleaning: just a story im listening to I haven't even played a Halo game featuring Chief, or finished Clone Wars, but damn your writing hits
@@mrcaptain3703 Yes it would, with every living thing it assimilates, it would already notice a new kind of "mitochondria" that seems to connect all life in some metaphysical way. After that, they'd only need to kill one person who is knowledgeable in the force, and probably an active gravemind, to learn how to use it. Midichloreans are everywhere (whether you like them or not), the flood would be force sensitive in no time
If we go off the midichlorian explanation of the force, it comes down to if, or perhaps when the flood biomass can successfully assimilate them to get the benefits. If not, perhaps it can attempt to replicate them somehow, though it may take a little time to proliferate. If the force itself resists them, neither is going to work in it's favour. It could be a case like the Yuuzhan Vong, where a hypothetical absence from the force makes them hard to predict and detect, but noticeable by the absence of the force rather than by the presence.
I think it would be waaayy worse than this. It was mentioned in a book that when the first gravemind was made it gave telekinesis speech to everyone near him. Every force weilder would get that speech plus most of the galaxy had the force in them. It would amplified by the flood. Making them unstoppable.
This is definitely my favorite of your crossovers so far. Also as a Star Trek fan as much as being Star Wars fan, I couldn’t help but notice the Gravemind said, “Resistance is Futile”.
I cannot rave enough about how incredible this vid is! Can feel the love and care it took to make this fr. I adore the fact that it’s both written into a fleshed out story and fully voice acted too like 😮 Kinda tired of the essay format in a lot of theory videos where things are just infodumped at me on what would happen.
14:05 that response was too wordy for Chief lol. All he would have said is “she won’t” and then his super luck would activate and everyone would be happy the end 😜
There are few things that are immuned to the flood in Star Wars One of them is actually a species of living crystals They're entire race are not force Sensitive but they were allowed To become jedi under luke jedi order
Once a gravemind is formed it’s the beginning of the end. Not even the Forerunners could defeat the intelligence of a gravemind, which turned their greatest weapon against them, outmaneuver led their every strategy par the rings themselves, and even infected the fabric of space-time itself. Once the Flood reaches this level, there’s little to nothing in the Star Wars universe that stands a chance. Abeloth maybe, but at this stage the Flood is basically god-like and omniscient so unlikely.
A lot of people, even Halo fans don't realize how completely overpowered the Flood are. Star Roads, Logic Plague, Neural Physics. So many op things and that's not even considering that if a Jedi or Sith were to be infected, future combat forms would be experts in lightsaber combat. And if Star Wars is lucky they'd have only one force sensitve combat form, if the entire hive mind got force powers it would be an instant gg.
@@PedestalPrimewith the minor note that the "all future combat forms know lightsaber combat" only applies in the coordinated stage and beyond (though, if it's infecting Jedi, odds are it's there already)
@@ashtoningram45Flood/Precursers builds different tbh they will probably consumed everything in fictions of Sci-Fi including Halo itself. They are basically legit Eldritch Cosmic Gods.
@@ashtoningram45 The Flood beat 40k because none of the civilizations are strong enough to counter them, and all of their gods would be affected by the death of their worshippers. The ONLY faction that has a chance against The Flood are the C'tan. They don't rely on The Warp, and so can't be influenced with The Flood's control over The Warp that they'd gain from eating psychers, and they don't use code like machines, so they'd be impossible to "hack". Even then, The Flood can begin to corrupt space itself when large enough, and could concievably create a Flood Warp God if they wanted to. Plus, if the Flood captured a C'tan, they might be able to use the logic plague on them. The Logic Plague is exactly how it sounds, it's a plague that uses logic to influence logical beings. This includes biological organisms, as seen when the Ur-Didact was corrupted by the Primodial. So really, not even the C'tan are safe from The Flood. THAT being said, the MAIN issue with Star Wars, is that we don't know the upper limits of The Force. The Force operates very subtely, and controls the entire galaxy, if not universe. Thus, even though NONE of the civilizations in SW could EVER actually win against The Flood, the fact that The Force is there changes things. It's entirely possible that The Force makes it so that some stray blaster fire just so happens to damage the escape pod, and then The Flood burn up in the atmosphere before reaching the surface, or another unlikely scenario. We also don't know how the Dark Side would interact with The Flood either. So realistically, without The Force, The Flood HARD stomps. With The Force, an initial Flood infection would likely never win. However, it becomes murkier when if you introduce a LARGE Flood presence all at once, or if The Force somehow doesn't recognize the danger posed by The Flood. So Really, it's not Star Wars vs The Flood, but The Force vs The Flood, and we don't fully know the depths of the Force's power.
First of all, they should have used tractor beams to throw the remains of the Forward Unto Dawn into the nearest sun... It's better than shooting it because a piece of debris can splinter off with a hidden infection that can be discovered by scavengers and make things worse. Also, can you please do another version of this where the Flood arrive in the time of Darth Vader and Darth Sidious please? I wanna see how Death Stars can be used Vs the Flood. Darth Sidious doesn't have to pretend to be a good guy who cares for life on planets. He can just order the Death Star to annihilate the planets with Flood infestations. Or he can go the Zilo beast route and do all he can to capture the Flood for experimentation. Alternatively, you can have the Flood arrive during the Old Republic time too. Or the post Vader and Sidious era where the Rebels are in control.
Planet-destroying weapons were standard issue on Forerunner warships, a single planet killer won't make a difference, nor would the empire's ruthlessness. The Star Wars universe is too vast and free, the moment the flood gets a foothold on a single planet it's over. Space-faring vessels are as common as cars in Star Wars, so the best case scenario is that someone with a nuke happens to be at the infected planet and strikes within 10 minutes of first contact.
If the flood hivemind ever made its way to Kamino I'm pretty sure they would be unstoppable with the cloning equipment basically turning kamino into a flood farm and waterworld for the hivemind to hide itself, only a weapon like the death star would ironically be the only way to stop it.
Considering Halo is here I wouldn't be surprised that that was eventually the case granted blasters wouldn't have any problem blasting through the flesh of necromorphs
I wonder how many Star Wars fans realized EA GAMES could have made a Star Wars and Dead Space cross over game and it actually would work and fit into the lore of Star Wars Honestly, the Necromorphs and brethren moons could work in a star wars cross over what if Just have Typhojem, the god of the sith ( Big Brother of abeloth and Star Wars version of Cthulhu ), was shattered to pieces, which led to the creation of planets and moons I think you can realize where i'm going with this.

@@marcoflores2656Blasters are weak. Spartan Armor is designed against the superior Covenant plasma weapons. Flamethrowers on the other hand would likely be effective as flamethrowers are effective against the flood.
This story is so damn epic in my head now, just imagining the way these characters interact with each one, just never thought about master chief talking to anakin and how they fight together
yeah so good story. Given the time you had I think you covered a good scenario. If this were a very long vid though, so much more could have been introduced. Also, I feel like with the amount of biomass that the flood had by this point they'd probably have had multiple graveminds, or more worrying would have been closer to keymind status than this scenario begets. Only so much you can do I spose. Do wonder if there was anything in the SW universe that could have corrected cortana's rampancy though. would have been interesting to fully explore this.
An alternative theory....what if the flood infects a Sith? Gains a connection to the force. I feel like the Flood could have an easy time connecting to the Dark Side. If it manages to infect Palpatine it could gain all his Dark side knowledge and leverage it against the greater galaxy. Maybe it even finds a way to infect via the force itself which could make it impossible to stop. The resulting devastation could be much worse then this scenario. They got off lucky in this one.... If infection via the force is a possibility it would be a likely outcome of any Flood invasion here. It could only take the infection of a single force sensitive individual that dooms everyone.
Once again I underestimate your talent as a writer. This was legendary. Far better than I expected and top tier content Thanks for sharing this with us Theory! I was heavily invested in it
This is almost a complete twist on the flood scenario. This video was based off of because instead of a biological assimilation it’s a technological one and that is even more terrifying because there’s no big hero to help you.
@@basileusywolvish7416 Imagine in that story if Force Sensitives were assimilated. The Borg using the Force. And not only that, but Borg adapting to block blasters and lightsabers.
The Borg would be incredibly vulnerable to Star Wars weaponry since Star Trek shields are basically stopping sci-fi lasers while turbo lasers are basically superheated gas/plasma which can tear through shields of any type in Star Wars one way or another
@CASA-dy4vs Actually, Romulan weapons are similar to turbo lasers because Romulans use plasma. Each faction in Star trek uses a different energy based weapon, that's why they are different colors. The borg ships could lose to the death star for the same reason the drones could lose to lightsabers. The borg can not adapt to living energy, so the kyber crystals that power both the lightsabers and the deathstar beam would take out the borg repeatedly and easily. Though, unless the deathstar had shields to block transporters or fired at the borg before they scanned it (because they always scan first and need only do it once) it would be overtaken too easily. BOTH the deathstar in space and lightsabers on ground are the only way The Star wars galaxy would stand a chance.
Do a “what if the covenant and UNSC war entered the Star Wars galaxy just before the battle of coruscant in RotS, like slip space and hyperspace messes up with each other send everyone’s fleets spirally around”
Fascinating story, but in the very first interaction where Anakin gets grabbed by a combat form, he would already be infected. All it takes is one cell to make contact with a living being to begin the transformation. A cell likely could have simply been breathed out in Anakin's direction and it would be over for him.
Man this is giving me Halo PTSD from when i was a young Spartan , i love it! I was thinking as the jedi and chancellor were saying strike force " BURN THE WHOLE CONTENENT WITH ENDLESS FIRE!!!!""
@dustinnelson123 Perhaps, but I have to wonder: Would the Force be amplified by the ambient Argent energy found in Hell? What about the dark side, in particular, since Argent energy is harvested by the torment and suffering of souls trapped in Hell?
The blue shadow virus could go so badly for the Star Wars side if it doesn't destroy the flood immediately. Imagine if the flood has enough time to adapt and add the virus to its arsenal. Congratulations now, every single flood form can kill u just by breathing the same air as it, and hives r completely full of the stuff mixed with flood spores to infect u right after u die.
Honestly I have doubts the virus even COULD harm the flood in any way. It doesn't destroy biomass, and the fact it's a natural (mostly) virus makes me think it wouldn't even infect them, both because of the flood's tendency to make anything biological part of itself but also because I don't think the flood counts as an organism that can get infected. I don't know everything about the virus but unless it can infect literally everything like plants, fungi and even single-celled organisms it's unlikely an existence like the flood could even be carriers.
I was scrolling through my feed seeing what sounded good to watch. I saw the title of this video and instantly thought “hmm good concept, something new and refreshing”. You sir have another subscriber
I love the fanfic of the alliance between the UNSC and the Republic. Now I really want to see what would happen if the Jedi helped XCOM liberate Earth from the aliens
I think these what if crossovers you tell on these videos are really interesting. I'd love to see an anime crossover what if with the star wars universe.
@@DarthTheorist yeah like the Sunday crossover with naruto having the least votes. Maybe a dragon ball crossover like saiyans and planet vegeta existing in the star wars universe?
Mace Windu: a troubling story certainly, but do you expect us to believe that ONE pod is capable of such devastation? Rtas 'Vadum: One single flood spore can destroy a species. This was a really entertaining video, well done! If the flood were to appear in the star wars galaxy, the the star wars galaxy is simply doomed. Depending how it is introduced would impact how swiftly it spread, but spread it would with very little to actually stop it. The events of Halo Combat Evolved takes place between 3-4 days. In that short amount of time, the flood gets released on like the second day, immediately spread like wildfire, gather enough biomass to start the creation of a proto-gravemind and are attempting to repair a covenant ship to leave the ring. If the flood were to appear on an unsuspecting populated world, even if only sparsely populated, it would very swiftly overrun it as no Forerunner constructs would be there to slow it down this time. If that world had any ships, which considering this is star wars and everyone and their dog has one, game over. Even if a task force was sent in to deal with the flood, by the time they realize just WHAT they are dealing with, it would be too late. A gravemind would swiftly be formed, inheriting the knowledge of all former graveminds and then its no longer a question of IF the flood will consume the galaxy, but WHEN. As for droids I don't see them having that much of an impact. if the forerunners, who were vastly more advanced in every way and utilized incredibly advanced artificial intelligence (Mendicant Bias and Offensive bias for example) as well as using countless sentinels of various types, weren't able stop the flood without having to wipe the galaxy clean, what hope do B1's have? Unlike a sentinel who can attempt to fly away, the poor B1's (other then the relative few models that can fly) are glued to the ground. If a clone can rip the head off a B1, a swipe from a combat form will smash it to pieces.
If you do necromorphs keep in mind the only way to put down one is to cut off its limbs but as you know there are many types of them and there are many many ways the markers and brethren moons can kill your ether physiologically or by the necromorphs or the cults that spring up because of the markers An well when it comes to dead space Star Wars would be monumentally screwed assuming there is enough time for it to start a convergence event where the entire planet after everything is dead or consumed by it will make another brethren moon and its effects can span light years away it can also travel using FTL an no it doesn’t use technology it’s just able to do that somehow as it isn’t really explained But over all it’s really fun to think on and I would recommend the wiki on all things dead space as it does a decent job going over the different aspects of dead space.
Here's a fact During the entire career of master chief, the one thing that scared him was the flood, and When master chief went back to get Cortana and fight his way through the flood, he was exhausted
Now i'm just waiting for The gods of chaos in star wars And 40k Scout hivFleet tyranids ( That master chief And cortana Goodbye at the end Is something John would do and honestly Might be his future At the end of the series with Cortona but If he survives I wonder what he's Going to do When it's finally over)
Why do I have the feeling that the mere idea of the Flood being in the SW universe that would not only give the Sith a run for their money but is also a very bad thing for everyone involved. Plus it’s nice to see you do a Halo x Star Wars ‘what if’ because the UNSC, the Covenant and the entire Halo universe would fit perfectly well within the SW universe…in the most beautiful way possible. Plus Master Chief and Cortana would be very good friends with Anakin, Ahsoka, Rex and the 501st. I do have a few ideas for some possible what if’s: 1) What if Rey was a Mandalorian…essentially what if Din Djarin found Rey and took her in as a Foundling. 2) What if Ezra was a Mandalorian…something like how both his parents were Mandalorians who left Mandalore and went to start their own lives (you could still keep most of Ezra’s backstory) and potentially make Ezra and Sabine a couple (since Disney won’t, we have too…#ezrabine4ever. 3) What if Jango Fett and/or Boba Fett Joined the Republic…I think something interesting could happen with this. 4) What if Rey, Finn and Poe went back in time to the Clone Wars…this would make the World Between Worlds even more of an important focal point and I could also see them get along well with Anakin, Ashoka, Rex and the rest of the 501st (it would be fun to see Rey, Finn and Poe join the 501st) I hope these are some amazing ideas for some potential What if’s
Run for their money is an understatement they would consume everything in their path and gain the knowledge and abilities of everyone they consume. Unless you have the capabilities to destroy Neural Physics (which doesn't kill the flood mind you but merely resets it) you are f****d.
Oh hey people have been wanting this for ages Edit I'm halfway through and I'm loving it I finished it and I feel like some nuance was missing, like what were the Jedi doing the whole time? What kind of effects would this have had on the galaxy after the flood was dealt with? How did Master Chief end up in the star wars universe? What would Palpatine do afterwards regarding his grand plan? And where was Obi Wan?, other than all that I liked it
What if Anakin crashed on Earth and suddenly became the savior of the Roman empire (replacing Majorian or saving what's left of Eastern Rome from the threat of the Ottomans)?
The Logic plague would be a serious issue if it gets a hold of any droid factories. This isn't your average zombie infestation; this thing thinks and strategizes, recruiting anything it finds to its cause
I appreciate the choice of doing this during the Republic/Clone Wars era, because Empire/Original Trilogy era would just be the death star being fired repeatedly, possibly multiple times, maybe additional death stars being made... I mean, it'd be rough, but it would be resolved a lot quicker.

If not, perhaps it can attempt to replicate them somehow, though it may take a little time to proliferate. If the force itself resists them, neither is going to work in it's favour.

Every force weilder would get that speech plus most of the galaxy had the force in them. It would amplified by the flood. Making them unstoppable.
Better to die on your feet, than living on your knees.
This is definitely my favorite of your crossovers so far. Also as a Star Trek fan as much as being Star Wars fan, I couldn’t help but notice the Gravemind said, “Resistance is Futile”.
What if the Earth Federation from Mobile Suit Gundam the Original Series is discovered in the Phantom Menace?
Wow I wanted to find a way to bring Gundams into Star wars thanks for that
I definitely wanna see this come to life
star wars already has a earth, tho galacticly it is known as urtha
Mate you were born to tell stories. The story and narration feels professional, plus you have a voice as smooth as butter yet its as cool as ice lol
Obi-wan:what are you doing anakin? Anakin: finishing this fight.
The AI droid takeover twist was incredible. Very well done!
I forgot about the Logic Plague
What if John Carpenter's The Thing was in Star Wars and the location would take place in Hoth or Ilum
Dude that would be an epic piece.
Now I gotta see a "What-if" of the Covenant invading during the Clone Wars. This was a great theory, very harrowing, but entertaining nonetheless.
I cannot rave enough about how incredible this vid is! Can feel the love and care it took to make this fr. I adore the fact that it’s both written into a fleshed out story and fully voice acted too like 😮 Kinda tired of the essay format in a lot of theory videos where things are just infodumped at me on what would happen.
14:05 that response was too wordy for Chief lol. All he would have said is “she won’t” and then his super luck would activate and everyone would be happy the end 😜
Starwars is screwed immediately
There are few things that are immuned to the flood in Star Wars One of them is actually a species of living crystals
They're entire race are not force Sensitive but they were allowed To become jedi under luke jedi order
Only if the Republicans don’t act immediately but that was not the case. Another UA-camr where made a video where you would be correct
@@djashovel It'd be a gamble whether or not the logic plague works on them, they're sapient so it *should*...
@djashovel The flood can terraform objects as well. They'd just use their bodies for another purpose if they can't infect them
Once a gravemind is formed it’s the beginning of the end. Not even the Forerunners could defeat the intelligence of a gravemind, which turned their greatest weapon against them, outmaneuver led their every strategy par the rings themselves, and even infected the fabric of space-time itself. Once the Flood reaches this level, there’s little to nothing in the Star Wars universe that stands a chance. Abeloth maybe, but at this stage the Flood is basically god-like and omniscient so unlikely.
What if Kix had been found on Earth (us), cryogenically frozen inside a separatist cruiser that crashed into the Mediterranean Sea ?
“What if the flood appeared in Star Wars?”
GG star roads. Neural physics no diff win.
A lot of people, even Halo fans don't realize how completely overpowered the Flood are. Star Roads, Logic Plague, Neural Physics. So many op things and that's not even considering that if a Jedi or Sith were to be infected, future combat forms would be experts in lightsaber combat. And if Star Wars is lucky they'd have only one force sensitve combat form, if the entire hive mind got force powers it would be an instant gg.
The flood destroyed Warhammer 40k as well so that something to think about
@@PedestalPrimewith the minor note that the "all future combat forms know lightsaber combat" only applies in the coordinated stage and beyond (though, if it's infecting Jedi, odds are it's there already)
@@ashtoningram45Flood/Precursers builds different tbh they will probably consumed everything in fictions of Sci-Fi including Halo itself. They are basically legit Eldritch Cosmic Gods.
@@ashtoningram45 The Flood beat 40k because none of the civilizations are strong enough to counter them, and all of their gods would be affected by the death of their worshippers. The ONLY faction that has a chance against The Flood are the C'tan. They don't rely on The Warp, and so can't be influenced with The Flood's control over The Warp that they'd gain from eating psychers, and they don't use code like machines, so they'd be impossible to "hack". Even then, The Flood can begin to corrupt space itself when large enough, and could concievably create a Flood Warp God if they wanted to. Plus, if the Flood captured a C'tan, they might be able to use the logic plague on them. The Logic Plague is exactly how it sounds, it's a plague that uses logic to influence logical beings. This includes biological organisms, as seen when the Ur-Didact was corrupted by the Primodial. So really, not even the C'tan are safe from The Flood.
THAT being said, the MAIN issue with Star Wars, is that we don't know the upper limits of The Force. The Force operates very subtely, and controls the entire galaxy, if not universe. Thus, even though NONE of the civilizations in SW could EVER actually win against The Flood, the fact that The Force is there changes things. It's entirely possible that The Force makes it so that some stray blaster fire just so happens to damage the escape pod, and then The Flood burn up in the atmosphere before reaching the surface, or another unlikely scenario. We also don't know how the Dark Side would interact with The Flood either. So realistically, without The Force, The Flood HARD stomps. With The Force, an initial Flood infection would likely never win. However, it becomes murkier when if you introduce a LARGE Flood presence all at once, or if The Force somehow doesn't recognize the danger posed by The Flood. So Really, it's not Star Wars vs The Flood, but The Force vs The Flood, and we don't fully know the depths of the Force's power.
First of all, they should have used tractor beams to throw the remains of the Forward Unto Dawn into the nearest sun... It's better than shooting it because a piece of debris can splinter off with a hidden infection that can be discovered by scavengers and make things worse.
Also, can you please do another version of this where the Flood arrive in the time of Darth Vader and Darth Sidious please? I wanna see how Death Stars can be used Vs the Flood. Darth Sidious doesn't have to pretend to be a good guy who cares for life on planets. He can just order the Death Star to annihilate the planets with Flood infestations.
Or he can go the Zilo beast route and do all he can to capture the Flood for experimentation.
Alternatively, you can have the Flood arrive during the Old Republic time too. Or the post Vader and Sidious era where the Rebels are in control.
Bad idea using death stars. You need to glass the planet and not blow it up giving the flood a chance to infect other worlds through panspermia.
Planet-destroying weapons were standard issue on Forerunner warships, a single planet killer won't make a difference, nor would the empire's ruthlessness. The Star Wars universe is too vast and free, the moment the flood gets a foothold on a single planet it's over. Space-faring vessels are as common as cars in Star Wars, so the best case scenario is that someone with a nuke happens to be at the infected planet and strikes within 10 minutes of first contact.
If the flood hivemind ever made its way to Kamino I'm pretty sure they would be unstoppable with the cloning equipment basically turning kamino into a flood farm and waterworld for the hivemind to hide itself, only a weapon like the death star would ironically be the only way to stop it.
Not necessarily. The debris would still have flood cells on it just waiting to be discovered again. Then there's scavengers
The only weapon that would possibly be effective is a nova bomb, or multiple to make sure the planet is gone.
Depends on the level of infestation. Once a gravemind has been established it is difficult to stop the infestation without the rings
@addictedtochocolate920 especially if the grave mind just sends thousands of flood into slipspace to infect the further galaxies
What if the necromorph from dead space invaded star wars. Now that would be lots of fun
Considering Halo is here I wouldn't be surprised that that was eventually the case granted blasters wouldn't have any problem blasting through the flesh of necromorphs
I wonder how many Star Wars fans realized EA GAMES could have made a Star Wars and Dead Space cross over game and it actually would work and fit into the lore of Star Wars
Honestly, the Necromorphs and brethren moons could work in a star wars cross over what if
Just have Typhojem, the god of the sith ( Big Brother of abeloth and Star Wars version of Cthulhu ), was shattered to pieces, which led to the creation of planets and moons
I think you can realize where i'm going with this. Have the Dead Space markers be the Pieces of Typhojem that are trying to unify

@@marcoflores2656Blasters are weak. Spartan Armor is designed against the superior Covenant plasma weapons. Flamethrowers on the other hand would likely be effective as flamethrowers are effective against the flood.
@@marcoflores2656thing is the necromorphs can only die if you remove the limbs
Count Duku to simplify in this Crossover “No Sacrifice No Victory.”
This was outstanding storytelling.
aye, I suggested this one! Wasn't expecting the flood but still cool!!
This story is so damn epic in my head now, just imagining the way these characters interact with each one, just never thought about master chief talking to anakin and how they fight together
Can I just say the voice acting on this is so fing good!
That will be a sweet crossover
just about 5 minutes in and this has me enthralled. hope it carries through.
yeah so good story. Given the time you had I think you covered a good scenario. If this were a very long vid though, so much more could have been introduced. Also, I feel like with the amount of biomass that the flood had by this point they'd probably have had multiple graveminds, or more worrying would have been closer to keymind status than this scenario begets. Only so much you can do I spose. Do wonder if there was anything in the SW universe that could have corrected cortana's rampancy though. would have been interesting to fully explore this.
I'm a simple gal. I see Darth Theorist uploaded I drop everything and click
🥹🥹 that’s too sweet thank you haha
I posted this question in Pente Patrol and in Star Wars Galaxy in the past week. I am glad you are covering it
You know we got you 👀
An alternative theory....what if the flood infects a Sith? Gains a connection to the force. I feel like the Flood could have an easy time connecting to the Dark Side. If it manages to infect Palpatine it could gain all his Dark side knowledge and leverage it against the greater galaxy. Maybe it even finds a way to infect via the force itself which could make it impossible to stop.
The resulting devastation could be much worse then this scenario. They got off lucky in this one....
If infection via the force is a possibility it would be a likely outcome of any Flood invasion here. It could only take the infection of a single force sensitive individual that dooms everyone.
Once again I underestimate your talent as a writer. This was legendary. Far better than I expected and top tier content
Thanks for sharing this with us Theory! I was heavily invested in it
Here's another crossover then:
What if the Borg from Star Trek joined the Clone Wars?
This is almost a complete twist on the flood scenario. This video was based off of because instead of a biological assimilation it’s a technological one and that is even more terrifying because there’s no big hero to help you.
@@basileusywolvish7416 Imagine in that story if Force Sensitives were assimilated. The Borg using the Force. And not only that, but Borg adapting to block blasters and lightsabers.
@@krazerkap that would be horrifying
The Borg would be incredibly vulnerable to Star Wars weaponry since Star Trek shields are basically stopping sci-fi lasers while turbo lasers are basically superheated gas/plasma which can tear through shields of any type in Star Wars one way or another
@CASA-dy4vs Actually, Romulan weapons are similar to turbo lasers because Romulans use plasma. Each faction in Star trek uses a different energy based weapon, that's why they are different colors. The borg ships could lose to the death star for the same reason the drones could lose to lightsabers. The borg can not adapt to living energy, so the kyber crystals that power both the lightsabers and the deathstar beam would take out the borg repeatedly and easily. Though, unless the deathstar had shields to block transporters or fired at the borg before they scanned it (because they always scan first and need only do it once) it would be overtaken too easily. BOTH the deathstar in space and lightsabers on ground are the only way The Star wars galaxy would stand a chance.
Do a “what if the covenant and UNSC war entered the Star Wars galaxy just before the battle of coruscant in RotS, like slip space and hyperspace messes up with each other send everyone’s fleets spirally around”
Fascinating story, but in the very first interaction where Anakin gets grabbed by a combat form, he would already be infected. All it takes is one cell to make contact with a living being to begin the transformation. A cell likely could have simply been breathed out in Anakin's direction and it would be over for him.
Dude this is cannon in my head now
Man this is giving me Halo PTSD from when i was a young Spartan , i love it! I was thinking as the jedi and chancellor were saying strike force " BURN THE WHOLE CONTENENT WITH ENDLESS FIRE!!!!""
Thank you for doing a Halo crossover. I hope you plan on doing more next with the other Halo factions!
A cool crossover request what if the scp foundation was in star wars?
Deliver hope, damn that gave me goosebumps I can imagine a version of the trailer with starwars characters
This video makes me wonder: What if the Doom Hell invaded the Star Wars universe?
That's very close to shattering the veil that prevents us from an animal crossing crossover
@dustinnelson123 Perhaps, but I have to wonder: Would the Force be amplified by the ambient Argent energy found in Hell? What about the dark side, in particular, since Argent energy is harvested by the torment and suffering of souls trapped in Hell?
When the tactical droid said “…I am the monument to all your sins.. “ softly, I felt a dreadful chill going up my spine
Omg i used to play with my legos that scneario, so many memories from childhood
The blue shadow virus could go so badly for the Star Wars side if it doesn't destroy the flood immediately. Imagine if the flood has enough time to adapt and add the virus to its arsenal. Congratulations now, every single flood form can kill u just by breathing the same air as it, and hives r completely full of the stuff mixed with flood spores to infect u right after u die.
You are thinking of the Tyranids there
Well, the flood in it's later stages can already do this to an extent with airborne flood spores.
@@Jamiemundy32 im not though the flood is just as good if not better than the tyranids at adapting.
Honestly I have doubts the virus even COULD harm the flood in any way. It doesn't destroy biomass, and the fact it's a natural (mostly) virus makes me think it wouldn't even infect them, both because of the flood's tendency to make anything biological part of itself but also because I don't think the flood counts as an organism that can get infected. I don't know everything about the virus but unless it can infect literally everything like plants, fungi and even single-celled organisms it's unlikely an existence like the flood could even be carriers.
They do that anyway
Great video, the track playing in the background makes you feel what is going on. Nice work 🫡
I was scrolling through my feed seeing what sounded good to watch. I saw the title of this video and instantly thought “hmm good concept, something new and refreshing”. You sir have another subscriber
18:30 It sounds very much like Fallout 4 Assaultrons or specifically KLEO. Great work on the theatrics here with this whole scenario
What if the replicators from Stargate Arrived in Star wars
we must know
I love the fanfic of the alliance between the UNSC and the Republic.
Now I really want to see what would happen if the Jedi helped XCOM liberate Earth from the aliens
This is very close to an idea i had, which was "what if the BlackWing virus was released during the clone wars"
What if The Frieza Force Had invaded The star wars galaxy At the clone wars
With frieza? Or even the stronger grunts,ginyus? The star wars galaxy didnt stand a chance...
Everyone dies the end
Empire: *Makes Death Star(s) to destroy planets.*
Freiza: That's cute, watch this. *Points at planet, planet explodes.*
I love this one, hey, this gives me an idea, how about what if the green flu (you know, the left 4 dead zombie virus) consumed the star wars galaxy?
This was so good. Freaking epic. All we need now is a video series . But dang it was good.
I remember suggesting this a while back, awesome video!
I think these what if crossovers you tell on these videos are really interesting. I'd love to see an anime crossover what if with the star wars universe.
I really wanna make one too, but they seem like the least interest amongst people here. They always get the least votes on the poll 😭
Hey for the next crossover what if , do what if the Doom Slayer was in the Star Wars Galaxy @DarthTheorist
@@DarthTheorist yeah like the Sunday crossover with naruto having the least votes. Maybe a dragon ball crossover like saiyans and planet vegeta existing in the star wars universe?
Mace Windu: a troubling story certainly, but do you expect us to believe that ONE pod is capable of such devastation?
Rtas 'Vadum: One single flood spore can destroy a species.
This was a really entertaining video, well done!
If the flood were to appear in the star wars galaxy, the the star wars galaxy is simply doomed. Depending how it is introduced would impact how swiftly it spread, but spread it would with very little to actually stop it. The events of Halo Combat Evolved takes place between 3-4 days. In that short amount of time, the flood gets released on like the second day, immediately spread like wildfire, gather enough biomass to start the creation of a proto-gravemind and are attempting to repair a covenant ship to leave the ring. If the flood were to appear on an unsuspecting populated world, even if only sparsely populated, it would very swiftly overrun it as no Forerunner constructs would be there to slow it down this time. If that world had any ships, which considering this is star wars and everyone and their dog has one, game over. Even if a task force was sent in to deal with the flood, by the time they realize just WHAT they are dealing with, it would be too late. A gravemind would swiftly be formed, inheriting the knowledge of all former graveminds and then its no longer a question of IF the flood will consume the galaxy, but WHEN.
As for droids I don't see them having that much of an impact. if the forerunners, who were vastly more advanced in every way and utilized incredibly advanced artificial intelligence (Mendicant Bias and Offensive bias for example) as well as using countless sentinels of various types, weren't able stop the flood without having to wipe the galaxy clean, what hope do B1's have? Unlike a sentinel who can attempt to fly away, the poor B1's (other then the relative few models that can fly) are glued to the ground. If a clone can rip the head off a B1, a swipe from a combat form will smash it to pieces.
What if the (OG) USS Enterprise arrived in the Star Wars Galaxy?
My bro needs to narrate death troopers as soon as humanly possible
This needs to be a animation, now that would be something that I would love watching.
Bro this is way way better than what we get now with Disney and 343 rn. Amazing ❤
If you do necromorphs keep in mind the only way to put down one is to cut off its limbs but as you know there are many types of them and there are many many ways the markers and brethren moons can kill your ether physiologically or by the necromorphs or the cults that spring up because of the markers
An well when it comes to dead space Star Wars would be monumentally screwed assuming there is enough time for it to start a convergence event where the entire planet after everything is dead or consumed by it will make another brethren moon and its effects can span light years away it can also travel using FTL an no it doesn’t use technology it’s just able to do that somehow as it isn’t really explained
But over all it’s really fun to think on and I would recommend the wiki on all things dead space as it does a decent job going over the different aspects of dead space.
I was dying for this what if scenario to be made thank you Darth theorist
I love the insinuation that Master Chief is on par power wise with a Jedi bro is badass
Your a legend for doing this halo is my favourite game
Here's a fact During the entire career of master chief, the one thing that scared him was the flood, and When master chief went back to get Cortana and fight his way through the flood, he was exhausted
Since we're on a halo kick now, what if Thel Vad'dam (The Arbiter) trained Anakin?
The CIS and Republic teaming up reminds me of when the UNGOC and SCP team up
I know I’ve asked for this. Thank you!
Now i'm just waiting for The gods of chaos in star wars
And 40k Scout hivFleet tyranids
( That master chief And cortana Goodbye at the end Is something John would do and honestly Might be his future At the end of the series with Cortona but If he survives I wonder what he's Going to do When it's finally over)
What if there was a zombie outbreak during the Battle of Coruscant?
Why do I have the feeling that the mere idea of the Flood being in the SW universe that would not only give the Sith a run for their money but is also a very bad thing for everyone involved. Plus it’s nice to see you do a Halo x Star Wars ‘what if’ because the UNSC, the Covenant and the entire Halo universe would fit perfectly well within the SW universe…in the most beautiful way possible. Plus Master Chief and Cortana would be very good friends with Anakin, Ahsoka, Rex and the 501st.
I do have a few ideas for some possible what if’s:
1) What if Rey was a Mandalorian…essentially what if Din Djarin found Rey and took her in as a Foundling.
2) What if Ezra was a Mandalorian…something like how both his parents were Mandalorians who left Mandalore and went to start their own lives (you could still keep most of Ezra’s backstory) and potentially make Ezra and Sabine a couple (since Disney won’t, we have too…#ezrabine4ever.
3) What if Jango Fett and/or Boba Fett Joined the Republic…I think something interesting could happen with this.
4) What if Rey, Finn and Poe went back in time to the Clone Wars…this would make the World Between Worlds even more of an important focal point and I could also see them get along well with Anakin, Ashoka, Rex and the rest of the 501st (it would be fun to see Rey, Finn and Poe join the 501st)
I hope these are some amazing ideas for some potential What if’s
That would be for the star wars visions show it is what if as hell
Run for their money is an understatement they would consume everything in their path and gain the knowledge and abilities of everyone they consume. Unless you have the capabilities to destroy Neural Physics (which doesn't kill the flood mind you but merely resets it) you are f****d.
Man, this was freaking awesome! Good show, sir! 🫡
Glad you enjoyed it!!!
Oh hey people have been wanting this for ages
Edit I'm halfway through and I'm loving it
I finished it and I feel like some nuance was missing, like what were the Jedi doing the whole time? What kind of effects would this have had on the galaxy after the flood was dealt with? How did Master Chief end up in the star wars universe? What would Palpatine do afterwards regarding his grand plan? And where was Obi Wan?, other than all that I liked it
I've been waiting for this one
What if Anakin crashed on Earth and suddenly became the savior of the Roman empire (replacing Majorian or saving what's left of Eastern Rome from the threat of the Ottomans)?
Dude, this would make one hell of a story if there was a crossover that was legit
Master Chief in Star Wars=🔥🔥🔥🔥🍿🥤😎
Please make a what if with The Covenant in Star Wars
The Logic plague would be a serious issue if it gets a hold of any droid factories. This isn't your average zombie infestation; this thing thinks and strategizes, recruiting anything it finds to its cause
"I...Have bested fleets of THOUSANDS! CONSUMED A GALAXY OF FLESH AND MIND AND BONE!!"
I appreciate the choice of doing this during the Republic/Clone Wars era, because Empire/Original Trilogy era would just be the death star being fired repeatedly, possibly multiple times, maybe additional death stars being made... I mean, it'd be rough, but it would be resolved a lot quicker.
Eh forunner warships had planet killing weapons and even that wasn't enough
This is awesome! Thanks for making it!
