There's a Legends mini-comic called "Fotune, Fate and the Natural History of the Sarlacc", which reveals how a Sarlacc is born and growns up...One of the most disturbing sh*t I have ever read
While 40k does win the numbers game because of the stupid amount of beings being thrown into the meat grinder every day Star Wars legends loves to pull grotesque shit out of its pockets sometimes, that’s why I love legends
@Trey Stephens Yeah, the prequels weren't great (except for ROTS), the sequels suck ass, Rouge one was a good movie, Solo was mediocre, honestly the best disney star wars creation was the Mandalorian.
I was questioning why this suffering was necessary for it's survival but the more I thought, it made sense. If you literally live in a hole in the ground, food opportunities are quite rare. So it was necessary for it's evolutionary survival to savor it's food for such long periods. I have several questions though: How do they reproduce? How do they burry themselves? If the toxins could keep someone alive for thousands of years, how come sidious never thought of using the toxins for his goal of immortality?
Falling into a Sarlacc Pit? Welp, you're done for. Got a blaster? Good! end your suffering and blast the silly face of yours before you become pain fodder
*Fun fact:* One of the reasons Boba betrayed the Yuuzhan Vong was because the way Vong's ships terraformed planets reminded him how the Sarlacc tried to digest him
@@sethmiles9436 The Vong offered him and the Mandalorians the opportunity to join them in their Crusade against the galaxy in exchange for not invading Mandalore. Despite accepting their offer, Boba knew since the beginning it was all a lie.

Luke did that to them on purpose. he wanted them to be digested by the sarlacc coz i dunno if you notice this but luke is tapping into the dark side at the start of the movie
@@cookiesforgiggles Thats not why. It's because he did what he had to do to survive. He didn't necessarily mean to knock them into pit except for one, most just tumbled in there after he struck them. Plus they earned it. They did the same to other people without question.
@@ManiacMayhem7256 Nah, from what i saw, he was just swinging his lightsaber close enough to make them flinch so that they'd fall into the pit. i mean, at the start of the fight he just wildly swung his lightsaber as if to scare somebody into the pit
It seems like the sarlaac is just trying to survive like any other creature. Still, this thing is terrifying. The whole, "more under the surface" thing, like an iceberg, was particularly disturbing. I didn't expect it to be so big, or look like that.
@@matthewcaughey8898 Krayt dragon? Not even close to the messed up-ness of the sarlacc. The dragon would just eat you like any normal large predator. Even if you were swallowed alive you would die pretty quickly because you would get drowned in the stomach acid. Still brutal death but nowhere near to the slow digestion and merging with the sarlacc´s body like the cursed crew of Flying Dutchman.
I'm having an existential crisis right now, and this just made it worse. That thing always made me super uncomfortable when I was a kid with a wild imagination,. I was curious about what happened inside. Now I wish I could un-see. Damn.
Ok so I'm going to say this without watching the video, in the comics/lore Boba Fett conversed with the sarlac pit for the time he was in there and not only escaped but also fell back in and then killed the sarlac in his 2nd escape if I'm remembering correctly. And for those who don't know how he was able to converse with the sarlac, after it ate someone I believe his mind was absorbed into the sarlac and he became the sarlac Boba fell into. I just felt I had to put that out there now on with the show.
Imagine if instead of being digested, you were fused into the walls of the stomach, and partially digested except for their mouths - they would then serve as a purpose of eating future prey and going through their bodies to the Sarlaac's stomach.
The Book of Boba Fett is actually a scientific treatise on Sarlaac biology. The television series is about convincing rival scientists to publish his articles in scientific journals and to secure grants for field research to replace the funding he used to get from Jabba the Hutt.
They sound kind of like giant pitcher plants When bugs fall into them they get digested except the plants don't have tentacles no toxins to keep them alive for that long and thankfully they drowned first But even those pitcher plant can take two months to fully digest insect
Think about how illogical the world of Star Wars has to be to have such a being. It's huge, with a huge stomach, and extra stomachs, but is immobile, so has to wait for something to fall into its mouth, yet it lives in a place where a single human would starve to death if they couldn't walk out of the desert. A tiny thing like a Jawa could be subjected to acids for hundreds of years and never fully dissolve. Over a thousand years there isn't one decent person with a means of getting to a Sarlac, so no one just blows these horrors up. The biggest rocket on earth can't blast through a few inches of concrete intact but a rocket pack on your back is all you need to escape a cave size mass of sinew, tentacles and teeth.
First I thought the creature is ridiculous but actually the whole survival strategy is plausible. Having very few prey would mean every meal would saved for very slow digestion.
i can't even imagine the insane pain, for a millenia, and feeling every second of it. 🤢 i know it's fiction but even thinking about being in the stomach makes me super anxious
Cool vid, but he didn’t fly out. According to the story “A Barve like that,” Fett dug his way out with only his helmet for air. He detonated his jet pack to free himself from the walls before blasting out through the sides with his concussion grenade launcher. He had to disrobe his armor from the burning rocket fuel and explosive damage.
I posted a question about this on reddit some time ago, actually. The popular opinion was that the toxic causes too much pain to be useful for medical purposes.
While this is pretty grim if there is one thing I can name that is even worse, look up the daemonculaba from Warhammer 40k I won't go into too much detail, buuuuut, the way how the Iron Warrior Honsou was attempting to create chaos space marines were really messed up.
Orrrr.. use a mining machine to dig a pit a little ways from the sarlacc, then mine your way towards the sarlacc and - when close enough - use some HEAVY artillery and blast that f*cker to hell and back. It seems pretty immobile once it’s settled in it’s hole
The conclusion of this story is that if you wear a full body armor to protect yourself with weapons (blasters, grenades, blades) and equipments (Jetpack) you can survived many encounter with very hostile creatures.
@@sharkquisha3407 Well I assume the Imperial scientists afterwards would have the sarlacc destroyed after the Empire completed their research on it. No use in keeping it around.
*Boba Fett:* ...and this is the part where the tentacle pinned my face to the stomach lining. You can really see my look of abject terror in this shot. (Picture shows Boba's reflection glaring angrily at the camera)
Back in the good ol’ days of the expanded universe, there was a pretty sweet alien guide, which was semi-narrated by a shape-shifting biologist named Mammon Hoole . Hoole conducted an interview with Fett (presumably for some serious credits), writing his findings in the journal, the chief among them being that Fett responded to stimuli that were not really there. In a tale called “a barve like that”, it is revealed that Fett chatted with a being mentioned in the clip, a young man named Susejo who has long ago merged his mind with the sarlacc. Susejo was able to bring up memories of Fett’s dogfight with IG-88 and other incidents. Boba essentially insulted his way out, pissing off Susejo to the point that the sarlacc started throwing him around, which triggered the jet pack, hello major stomach ache. Oh and he didn’t gracefully fly out of the maw. Concussion grenades into the stomach lining, a torrent of slime and sand, one broken arm, and frantic digging on pure adrenaline. While horribly wounded, the sarlacc survived this, at least for another year until Fett returned, hovering the Slave 1 (oh, sorry, “boba Fett’s starship”) above the pit with engines at full blast, turning the monster into desert calamari and finally freeing Susejo’s spirit. Vindictive armor-clad bastard…. That’s why we love him.
@@RussianJackal on the one hand turning the engines on full works. on the other I want him to drop one of those seismic charges in. 'traditionally the condemned are given a last meal. This one was a favorite of my dad's. I'm fondo f 'em too.'
@@RussianJackal There's also a long segment written by Hoole in a Star Wars art and lore book I got in the early 2000's for Christmas, together with my Star Wars Encyclopedia. It covers stuff up to the early childhood of the Solo children. Really cool book, still have it.
One thing the empire did right was occasionally killing these things. I have no idea why in The Force Unleashed they were portrayed as gentle giants. They are absolute hell spawn, and killing them ends the suffering of an untold amount of innocent creatures.
... To be fair, the sarlacc in the Ancient Abyss was actually quite kind, for what it is. Not only did it allow the Felucians to hide within it (before The Empire shoved a lift down its throat,) but it also aided a Jedi it befriended, during Galen Marek's first trip to Felucia. Some sarlaccs were said to be semi-sentient, and although its primary purpose as an adaptation was to make it a more effective predator, this semi-sentience paved the way towards sentience. It just so happened that Jabba's sarlacc was cruel as Hell, and Shaak Ti's sarlacc was curious and easily swayed by the Light Side of the Force. Edit: Also, can you really hold animosity towards a creature, just because of how it sustains itself? Not only is it comparable to getting mad at a whale shark for filtering plankton, but the sarlacc is also a pitfall predator; it's quite possible that every creature that falls for such traps, has rightfully earned itself a Darwin Award. Especially the Ancient Abyss; that thing is freaking massive! Lol
In real life, creatures don't torture others just for pleasure. They are only fulfilling a desperate need for food. I doubt they're even aware their prey suffers fear and pain
@@hamstermunchies5558 that's actually not true. Look at sea otters. They are known for their violent mating, even raping baby seals and killing them in the process. Other animals are known for other violent behavior that doesn't particularly benefit their survival. So unfortunately, animals can be cruel for their own pleasure too, not just for survival/food, though usually it's because they don't care about the well-being of other creatures rather than a desire to see others suffer.
Sometimes Star Wars legends shows how deprived yet horrifically creative the human mind is capable of. (no seriously who tf came up with the sarlacc’s lore)
probably from ROTJ, 3PO translates what Jabba says and he says that they will slowly be digested over the course of a thousand years, and someone decided to take that seriously when writing the lore.
@@SoulCharizard She was already dead. The Empire had built an elevator that went down into the Sarlaac's stomach to hunt Felucian warriors who were desperate enough to hide there.
"Soooooo, how did my data help you? Can we look forward to killing off these monsters in the near future?" "We discovered that the Sarlacc acts more like a plant than an animal! Isn't that fascinating?" Boba: 😡
We don't know how old Tatooine's Sarlacc was but it could have been around during the era of Xim the Despot or even earlier. Maybe there are even a couple of Rakata in its stomach.
How many credits do you think Boba sold the recording for? A once-in-a-galaxy’s look at an organism that rare would probably fetch a lot of money among the right people
@John Smith the recording equipment would likely be destroyed before getting any good data, and they said in the video that Boba’s footage was one of a kind

@@RussianJackal There's also a long segment written by Hoole in a Star Wars art and lore book I got in the early 2000's for Christmas, together with my Star Wars Encyclopedia. It covers stuff up to the early childhood of the Solo children. Really cool book, still have it.
One thing the empire did right was occasionally killing these things. I have no idea why in The Force Unleashed they were portrayed as gentle giants. They are absolute hell spawn, and killing them ends the suffering of an untold amount of innocent creatures.
... To be fair, the sarlacc in the Ancient Abyss was actually quite kind, for what it is. Not only did it allow the Felucians to hide within it (before The Empire shoved a lift down its throat,) but it also aided a Jedi it befriended, during Galen Marek's first trip to Felucia. Some sarlaccs were said to be semi-sentient, and although its primary purpose as an adaptation was to make it a more effective predator, this semi-sentience paved the way towards sentience. It just so happened that Jabba's sarlacc was cruel as Hell, and Shaak Ti's sarlacc was curious and easily swayed by the Light Side of the Force.
Edit: Also, can you really hold animosity towards a creature, just because of how it sustains itself? Not only is it comparable to getting mad at a whale shark for filtering plankton, but the sarlacc is also a pitfall predator; it's quite possible that every creature that falls for such traps, has rightfully earned itself a Darwin Award. Especially the Ancient Abyss; that thing is freaking massive! Lol
@@takedown205productions6 interesting...
In real life, creatures don't torture others just for pleasure. They are only fulfilling a desperate need for food. I doubt they're even aware their prey suffers fear and pain
@@hamstermunchies5558 that's actually not true. Look at sea otters. They are known for their violent mating, even raping baby seals and killing them in the process. Other animals are known for other violent behavior that doesn't particularly benefit their survival.
So unfortunately, animals can be cruel for their own pleasure too, not just for survival/food, though usually it's because they don't care about the well-being of other creatures rather than a desire to see others suffer.
@@hamstermunchies5558 Very much wrong; Sea Otters, Dolphines, and Humans tend to be *very* sadistic.
Sometimes Star Wars legends shows how deprived yet horrifically creative the human mind is capable of. (no seriously who tf came up with the sarlacc’s lore)
The idea probably came from an Antlion, still fucked up nonetheless
They probably looked at it's design and thought "How can make this creepier?"
Then you are not familiar with the "Deamonculaba" from Warhammer 40K...
probably from ROTJ, 3PO translates what Jabba says and he says that they will slowly be digested over the course of a thousand years, and someone decided to take that seriously when writing the lore.
@@kingcobra9726 agreed
Aside from Boba Fett, I think Starkiller is another example of someone entering and escaping a Sarlaac as he did on Felucia.
unlike boba, starkiller willingly entered, technically.
Starkiller isn't Canon so technically he never did.
@@reposter6434 This video is about Legends, so he did.
@@venomousdc_0142 If I can recall... He was after Shaak Ti as the two went in there.
@@SoulCharizard She was already dead. The Empire had built an elevator that went down into the Sarlaac's stomach to hunt Felucian warriors who were desperate enough to hide there.
Yeah I wouldn’t want to live in a sector with a Sarlaac in it
So just anywhere thats not a wasteland
Stick it in a golf course, then play a nice round of golf...
@@ABozowithDignity Courosant (or however it's called) isn't a wasteland but had a sarlaac in the plumbing.
@@prime_optimus I actually didn't know that, cool.
"Soooooo, how did my data help you? Can we look forward to killing off these monsters in the near future?"
"We discovered that the Sarlacc acts more like a plant than an animal! Isn't that fascinating?"
Boba: 😡
The Sarlacc was technically the oldest living character
We don't know how old Tatooine's Sarlacc was but it could have been around during the era of Xim the Despot or even earlier. Maybe there are even a couple of Rakata in its stomach.
How many credits do you think Boba sold the recording for? A once-in-a-galaxy’s look at an organism that rare would probably fetch a lot of money among the right people
Enough that he’d never have to work again. Even though I’m sure by the time of ROTJ, he was already a rich man.
@John Smith the recording equipment would likely be destroyed before getting any good data, and they said in the video that Boba’s footage was one of a kind
@John Smith then why was Boba’s recording so unique
@John Smith and yet they clearly didn’t
lol once in a lifetime...gimme a turbolaser turret and I´ll turn that thing inside-out. granted, a bit of puzzling is in order afterwards, but I guarantee at least 90% remains!

"This is clearly an important species we're dealing with and I don't think that you or I, or anybody, has the right to arbitrarily exterminate them!"
He’s just a grunt - no offense
Yes! Finally we get a video on this topic the Sarlacc always creeped me out C-3PO wasn't lying! 😰😂
I didn't doubt C3P0. I always wondered how someone didn't die from a lack of water or food. Now we know.
Damn, no wonder Boba needed some down time at the Polynesian Spa.
This is some 40k Lvl stuff.... I didn't know Star Wars went down that path too
Coruscants undercity...just an e.g.
Sounds like a Lovecraft Hell.
