Disney star wars is too poorly written generic watered down childish small repetitive uncreative boring and lighthearted for all those evil entities to show up on screen.
The vong would have been amazing. Even though they've gone a different direction with Skywalker and his jedi, I still hold out hope for using the 'Vong and a lot of the legends material.
That would have been good but I don't think the chaps at Disney would have the brainpower to realise this considering there was literally no plan for the sequel trilogy
@@DBProductions12345-m sadly we're stuck with the flaming shit pile that is the sequel trilogy. all because disney decided it needed to have a Mary Sue as its new main character
shshshshsh that'd have been cool we can't do fun and cool!, like hey lets have a say made for TV movie the the Kililiks. and the Vongs, with Luke being like: so uh yeah Ican use force choke...to ya know stop a droid tank from killing lots of people. we can't have that. that takes effort wich is hard I'll have you know. Think of the billionaires at the mouse? how'll they pay off there 200th mansion morgage.
I think Palpatine knew of some of these other threats. He was a tactical mastermind, but he must have known that even he couldn't strategize against the unknown ancient regions. Creatures older, and more terrifying than any Sith. He was consolidating power, building weapons capable of destroying planets. This wasn't just to defeat rebels, or a Jedi. This was to prepare for a threat beyond the light/dark side. It would be interesting to see a pretty scary threat like Palpatine discussing something far more sinister than himself.
Too bad Disney can't write themselves out of a wet paper bag. Although it is impressive that they've figured out how to make space wizards and aliens boring.
“Interesting but what would make it more interesting is making it more meaningful involving thing LGBTQASSZKLHFTYVCDSERYI2POOPEE you know what I’m saying… What’s with that abusive, homophobic racist look you’re giving me?!” - Kathleen Kennedy most likely
Would also be interesting to see his reasoning.. a young foolish light side palpatine suffering because of his lack of power and ability, his desire to be stronger to prevent something like his past, then his realization of what is eventually to come.. an existential threat that is neither light nor dark.. and so we watch his fall to the darkside as ambition and a desire for power even if it was originally intended to do good corrupt him along the way.
They should make deep space horror movies about the unknown regions: one could be: A Jedi knight journeys through time to avoid the completion of ORDER 66 and save the Jedi order and for that he must embark on a trip to the Unkown Regions where he will find the ultimate horror of the Star Wars universe
He'd probably get surrounded by xenomorphs or randomly chased down by predators until he gets speared to the chest 🤣. He'll go from Jedi Knight into prey within a split second.
@@joshishere96 Or have his mind read and play out all the hidden fears, the failings and shortcomings of the jedi. And have that rogue jedi go full grey/Jolee Bindo, no good, no evil but balanced in the middle to survive, get out of the unknown region, alive, but with severe doubt about both the jedi council as well as the sith, creating a third force faction.
Lucas wouldn't let anyone do anything with it either though. That's what always baffled me. He wasn't interested in doing other movies/series like Disney are doing now, yet Disney offered him 4 billion and he leapt at the chance. Arguably he would've made much more from retaining ownership of it all and just acting like a facilitator of sorts,
No it wasn't. The films might have been shit but the amount of star wars content we get is well worth the sale. No way Lucas would do shows like the Mandalorian, Boba Fet or obi wan.
The contrast between the known Galaxy and the Unknown Regions parallels in more than one way our real-life knowledge of what walks the Earth, and what dwells in the darkest depths of the seas. We still have exploration to do in the oceans, and it seems the further we advance, the more terrifying the creatures we discover progressively become.
"Traveling through hyperspace ain’t like dusting crops, boy! Without precise calculations we could fly right through a star or bounce too close to a supernova and that’d end your trip real quick, wouldn’t it?"
How sick would it be if there was a horror movie made where Vader with a squadron of stormtroopers gets ordered to investigate an Empire base on a planet bordering the unknown region is no longer responding or communicating with the rest of the Empire. Basically showing how Vader’s squadron gets picked apart by some of these crazy species from the unknown regions and how only Vader ultimately survives only to be told to cover it up by palpatine
@@givesrespect8788 ok. But I wasn’t talking about that. You asked if Vader was going to be there which if you read the original post you would have known that
Oh dude I know, they're creeepy huh! Didn't even Sidius and Vader have a few second thoughts about going into it? i thought vader did... . But that was because he had _some_ sanity.
He’s wrong about Abeloth. She is in the Maw in The Kessel System. It’s in the Outer Rim Territories close to Hutt Space completely opposite the Unknown Regions.
I think as someone who likes both horror, and fantasy and sci-fi, he 'gets' the Star Wars vibe. It still has to feel like Star Wars, even if you're confronting these horrific entities. Imagine a story where a Jedi and a Sith get marooned on a planet with the Mnggal-Mnggal, and they quickly realize they have a much bigger problem on their hands. And they now have to cooperate to escape; and the episode has a bad ending no matter who makes it out, because that's just life in the Unknown Regions. Kind of like the old X-Files episodes where sometimes the monster 'won', or continued to live after eluding the agents, because their attention turned elsewhere.
Now see, its videos like this that remind me of the love and crazy ideas that existed....long ago. This is part of why I love Star Wars, these are the stories that inspire awe and wonder.
@Mythic Vader went to pretty much every evil place in the galaxy, wouldnt shock if he ran into some of this while doing so. The whole SW story we love, is his. Loved seeing him in Kenobi and most fan reactions say the same. There's tons of other series coming out with new characters..
Plus we haven't got a whole lot of Vader screen time. I wanna see Vader as the main character not as Anakin. Then only then I'll be ready for new characters
I’m actually a huge fan of the unknown regions and would love a series about this area of space I think you bring up several interesting points here please keep up the good work and continue focusing on the unknown regions
My man I always have your videos playing in the background and then I rewatch it again taking notes for Star Wars D&D. Xp. Which is great for me cuz I have friends who don't really know that much about Star Wars and you explain it in an easy way
Imagine if a good trilogy existed with an invasion threat to the civilised galaxy from the yuzong vong. A race that can resist most force powers would represent a legitimate challenge for Luke's Jedi order to overcome, while the new republic would have the challenge of uniting every planet in the known galaxy to unify to repel the invasion. George Lucas apparently envisioned Darth Maul to play a big part in his ideas for a sequel trilogy, so perhaps Maul's Crimson Dawn syndicate could be allied with the Vong, serving various intelligence and underground services to the vong, in exchange for increased power and influence in a more expansive, vong controlled galaxy. Instead we have the misery of the Disney sequel trilogy.
I would have loved to see Abeloth be featured or, at least, referenced for having some level of influence in the sequel films at some point. There would not need to be an actress per say, just an reintroduction of the Force Wielders' or even an local sector associated with her. Nothing like a temple as seen in the final season of Rebels but ancient, long forgotten formations. It would more likely have to include places Morriban, places heavy in the Dark Side galaxy-wide. If there had to be an actress, I would assign the role to someone familiar with horror films like Resident Evil, Splice or the Ring. Her appearance deserves that treatment based on backstory and fate in the comics. It was how I wished the they treated Snoke if the director insisted on making him the enemy.
I kind of like the grey goo being some entity separate from the force. Makes it a bit more frightening and mysterious while also being this darker take on midichlorians.
I think it would be so awesome if they did an alternate version of the sequel trilogy but utilize the stories from the books, like with the yuuzhan vong, Jacen, jaina and anakin solo...Luke's relationship with Mara jade. His son Ben. But most importantly, Luke's ascension to the jedi master many of us still remember him as
The thought of the Unknown Space in the Star Wars galaxy is both interesting and scary, I would love to be able to explore this universe in a Star Wars game, or as many have said they should of used this as a chance to introduce a new and scary enemy. I love hearing these and I get such joy and imagination in listening to them too, keep it up :)
There is so much potential for multiple R-rated Star Wars movies. A story of the Ones and how Abeloth came to be would be so amazing and would definitely be a huge success. I don‘t think we will get this any time soon though.
These long form compilation videos are great. The main issue I run into when listening to your videos was that they would be too short because I often like to listen to them while working or driving. But it can be a hassle to select a new video after every 5 or 8 minutes. So these are great. Your videos are good quality and interesting. Thank you
I absolutely love these kind of lore videos. It would be truly amazing to get a long horror/thriller based film showing Abeloth becoming the force beast she truly is. It would start with her stranded on the planet of the Ones, then end with her eventually absorbing the fonts of power then dominating her "family".
My idea : The 'Unkown regions' could once be travelled, like the rest of the galaxy, but a long time ago a massive war between some highly advanced civilizations, that saw the unrestricted use of near apocalyptical weapons, like weaponized stellar engineering, made travelling in this area a hazardous endevour, even in modern times. But so it might also be possible to find technological artifacts far beyond immagination, or an automated weapon system whose reactivation can doom entire star systems.
Mnggal-Mnggal is a troublesome enemy, wish I knew what if anything breaks down its body. As for starweirds, not just the force but also force-fields affect them, I theorize that by manipulating them correctly and or using several, one could kill a star-weird without use of the force. Perhaps some sort of force saber, or better yet, a force field gun to keep it at a distance so it can't use its shriek.
There is a star wars audiobook that's basically horror themed. It's based on an Imperial ship that gets infected with a zombie like virus. Basically picture a story from the perspective of a regular trooper, trapped on a star destroyer filled with zombies.
Heres a better tip to beat such rabble. Bring as many Ysalamiri on board your ship when travelling. These great lizards would repel any force beast or abominations and save your life countless times over.
Abeloth was near Kessel, in the Maw, opposite of the unknown regions. And Kamino was near Rishi, which was on the opposite side of the unknown regions if I remember right?
I would love for some of these concepts to be a game. Remember Commando? Well being a non Jedi character, you'd explore these regions. An easy resident evil style star wars game.
I say rehire the same actors, replace the trilogy story with the yuzong vong as a threat. 1st introduce them, first contact and establish force users on tje losing side at first, leading into the 2nd, which would be the fight aginst them on a galaxy wide scale that slowly specifies into a story focusing on our main characters trying to find a solution and how to use it creating a unified galaxy against a common enemy, 3rd would be the carrying out of the solution and a seriously climactic final battle with our main charcters having developed their own character arcs over the trilogy. Incredibly oversimplified outline, I rest my case.
Yes. The entire point of Thrawn trying to reunite the Empire was because of the War with the Yuuzhan Vong and their threat to the galaxy. Being from the Unknown Regions allowed him a perspective most didn't have on the threats to the galaxy that existed there.
As far as I remember it's mentioned somewhere that the Emperor had a force vision of something huge lurking in the unknown regions and that's why he got into contact to the Chiss to have eyes on that border. According to him, the galaxy needed to be united under the sith with a high military force to be able to take on anything coming from out there.
Sorcerers of Rand seem like walking contradictions. They seek out constant destruction yet don't destroy themselves as part of that destruction, and the whole "we can create the future, but you know its not guaranteed" kinda like the random chance that would happen without some magical power.
My theory is that starwierds are sith force ghosts that have been further corrupted by the dark side after death and that if a starwierd king exists then I like to think that that’s darth nihilus
Space is extremely empty, you could be in our solar system and plot a random course towards the center of our galaxy and the chance colliding with something like a planet or asteorid would be insignificant...
The Mongol Mongol is similiar to the Flood From Halo, With The Hivemind and Objective to Consume anything and Everything. Even using The Undead for that Purpose.
Yikes. Much to learn I still have. It's fascinating learning that there are things that could be more dangerous than anything I've seen in the movies and shows
Imagine a series: Star Wars: Lost in the Unknown Regions. And its a sith and a jedi whom were fighting messing up their ship amidst there fight so much they get lost in the deepest reaches of space, and get attacked by the outer beings and end up working together to survive, and develop a brotherhood from working together. It would be a fantastic horror series.
There was an official star wars anima anthology series released a couple years ago - excellent stuff. That would be the prime candidate to explore such concepts
Excellent video, we need more videos about the original star wars EU and less of Disney shite, The New Jedi Order series was the best, so brutal, you never knew who was going to die next, it kept you on edge throughout the whole series. Can I just correct you 2 things though, 0:27 "be wary" not "weary"... weary means to be tired, wary is to be cautious. 02:00 it was the empire strikes back, not a new hope, unless I'm missing something? Anyway bro, do another vid, love it!!
Can you please do some work on Vitiate,Valkorion for a future video please, I love all your content on the ancient Sith Lords and love all your videos. Please make more longer compilations, possibly one very long one on the old republic?? Keep up the Entity level work!!!!!
There’s so many cool things in the real Star Wars universe. We could’ve had such a good run of new stories if Disney hadn’t gone full Disney. You never go full Disney.
I wanted to write a story: Padme survived and was taken to the unknown regions by a pioneer, who married her then. A figure of her was buried instead of her. She was forbidden from returning to the Empire not to be scented out by Palpatine. Years later she escaped to find her children and was killed in the destruction of Alderaan
Imagine this, a survival horror game set on a fleet of broken down Republic vessels sent into the Unknown Regions on a scientific expedition, much akin to that ship graveyard section in Dead Space 3, with your character having to evade the Starweirds while attempting to find a way off the broken fleet and escaping back to Republic space. Normally I’d say that would never happen given Disney’s ownership of the IP these days, but considering that Respawn have been knocking it out of the park with the games telling Cal Kestus’ story and we’re due for a game from Ubisoft set from a bounty hunter’s point of view, I could see something a bit more mature getting greenlit so long as there’s enough demand for it.
I really hate myself rn for watching this before going to bed. Well I can´t wait to remember the horrors in my dreams for the next month or so. Wish me luck poor souls
your content is wonderful. the information is fantastic. the graphics and art are beautiful. your cadence and inflection and tone could NOT POSSIBLY sound more like a third grader reading their lines at a school play.
From what I’ve heard about skeleton crew being a stranger things style of teen show, I think it would be so cool to have a star weird episode. I couldn’t imagine something scarier than one showing up out of nowhere and then chasing the crew around the ship
It is known that if you don't plan a route before going into hyperspace, you can fly right into a star. Hyperspace is achieved by speed. It's not a dimension. If that were the case, Han wouldn't have said "Hold on tight". Also, you can tell it's speed by watching a ship go into hyperspace.
@@BrandontheAwesome A "What if?" type series would actually work pretty well for these threats, you just have to have the right person helm it. It's not enough to just be a 'fan' of Star Wars, and be a competent director or writer, you have to be brave enough to dive into places that normally only people like John Carpenter or Dario Argento or other horror directors would go, and not have it be so extreme that it can't be shown on Disney +. It's a delicate balance, even if Disney gave their full support and took a hands-off approach. Someone mentioned Guillermo del Toro, and I can't say I disagree; I can see him putting together something very great, if he collaborates with Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni. He has a new series coming out that includes a Lovecraft adaptation, so he's not afraid of cosmic horror. But he can also dial it back to make it palatable for younger audiences, and not have it a full blown gore fest (even in animated form).

The Sequels should have brought in baddies from the Unknown Regions rather than bringing Palpatine back. The latter was such a lazy move and also destroyed Anakin's/Vader's arc.
I think the yuuzhan vong should have been the main antagonists in the ST.
Should have yes but they didn't. Just weak copy and paste is what they did
Why not both? With Palpatine as Satan and the creatures of the Unknown Reigon being his demon followers.
Disney star wars is too poorly written generic watered down childish small repetitive uncreative boring and lighthearted for all those evil entities to show up on screen.
I actually think bringing palp back is a good idea because his ultimate goal was to cheat death but the way the sequels did it was pretty bad
I feel like the new trilogy could have used an enemy like the Yuuzhong Vong or Abeloth as a great threat to the new republic and Luke's order
They would have made for a better villain to Snoak
Such a shame Disney was too lazy to do through research of Star Wars legends 🥲

There is so much potential for multiple R-rated Star Wars movies. A story of the Ones and how Abeloth came to be would be so amazing and would definitely be a huge success.
I don‘t think we will get this any time soon though.
How did the sequels not have the Starwierd’s?! That would’ve been great! 😂
Would be so cool to see some of these creatures/ideas in KOTOR remake.
Adding new stuff would be good if they will keep the games main story 100% accurate.
These long form compilation videos are great. The main issue I run into when listening to your videos was that they would be too short because I often like to listen to them while working or driving. But it can be a hassle to select a new video after every 5 or 8 minutes. So these are great. Your videos are good quality and interesting. Thank you
I absolutely love these kind of lore videos. It would be truly amazing to get a long horror/thriller based film showing Abeloth becoming the force beast she truly is. It would start with her stranded on the planet of the Ones, then end with her eventually absorbing the fonts of power then dominating her "family".
My idea : The 'Unkown regions' could once be travelled, like the rest of the galaxy, but a long time ago a massive war between some highly advanced civilizations, that saw the unrestricted use of near apocalyptical weapons, like weaponized stellar engineering, made travelling in this area a hazardous endevour, even in modern times. But so it might also be possible to find technological artifacts far beyond immagination, or an automated weapon system whose reactivation can doom entire star systems.
Mnggal-Mnggal is a troublesome enemy, wish I knew what if anything breaks down its body. As for starweirds, not just the force but also force-fields affect them, I theorize that by manipulating them correctly and or using several, one could kill a star-weird without use of the force. Perhaps some sort of force saber, or better yet, a force field gun to keep it at a distance so it can't use its shriek.
It's like the flood from Halo 😂
Would love a star wars horror movie
That would be fucking cool. Star Wars meets Dead Space
There is a star wars audiobook that's basically horror themed. It's based on an Imperial ship that gets infected with a zombie like virus. Basically picture a story from the perspective of a regular trooper, trapped on a star destroyer filled with zombies.
@@thesanfranciscoseahorse473 that's cool! Is it canon or did Disney toss it to the outer rim?
@@Cheekiemoney I believe it's available on Audible. "Death Troopers" by Joe Schreiber? I believe that's it. I do not know if it is cannon.
@Djangus Roundstone death troopers has always been legends content but the virus used in it was made canon in 2014 by a mobile game so maybe someday
Heres a better tip to beat such rabble. Bring as many Ysalamiri on board your ship when travelling. These great lizards would repel any force beast or abominations and save your life countless times over.
Lizards? So i just have to take Zuckerberg with me and i will be fine.
Question: Do i want him with me on a trip through the unknown regions?
@@Haggysack2k8 Have we concluded he is a lizard and not a robot yet tho ?
@@MyrmThaBadMan A robot lizard? I am not sure yet.
@@Schattennebel Or maybe he's Skaven. Clan Meta triumphant, yes yes
Abeloth was near Kessel, in the Maw, opposite of the unknown regions. And Kamino was near Rishi, which was on the opposite side of the unknown regions if I remember right?
Star Wars goes Lovecraft? I love it.
Starhammer 40k
@@voidseeker4394Warwars 40k
Give us a unknown regions horror movie NOW!!
I would love for some of these concepts to be a game. Remember Commando? Well being a non Jedi character, you'd explore these regions. An easy resident evil style star wars game.
Always remember: it is not "new canon" and "old canon."
It is "new canon" and "TRUE canon"
Amen
Shit in the unknown space makes star wars turn from star wars to fkn Warhammer 40k if you get unlucky enough 😂😭😂
There was also the Republic's xenocidal crusades too!
I say rehire the same actors, replace the trilogy story with the yuzong vong as a threat. 1st introduce them, first contact and establish force users on tje losing side at first, leading into the 2nd, which would be the fight aginst them on a galaxy wide scale that slowly specifies into a story focusing on our main characters trying to find a solution and how to use it creating a unified galaxy against a common enemy, 3rd would be the carrying out of the solution and a seriously climactic final battle with our main charcters having developed their own character arcs over the trilogy. Incredibly oversimplified outline, I rest my case.
You are a true fan of what Star Wars should be👍
They could just make the book series of the Yuzong Vong invasion as a Disney+ series and the tech they used to put Luke in the Book of Boba Fett.
You could replace the Vong's with Abeloth and it would still work, yet Disney looked at these 2 option and said nope
Yes. The entire point of Thrawn trying to reunite the Empire was because of the War with the Yuuzhan Vong and their threat to the galaxy. Being from the Unknown Regions allowed him a perspective most didn't have on the threats to the galaxy that existed there.
This is exactly why KotoR 3 would've been the greatest piece of Star Wars media of all time
I’d like to know the thoughts of sideous on these creatures. And if he thanks he could beat them
As far as I remember it's mentioned somewhere that the Emperor had
a force vision of something huge lurking in the unknown regions and that's why he got into contact to the Chiss to have eyes on that border. According to him, the galaxy needed to be united under the sith with a high military force to be able to take on anything coming from out there.
I would love to see movies representing these regions
Star wars horror movie if done right could be game changing
Could you imagine a Star Wars horror movie based on the starweirds
My friend and I are writing a Star Wars type story that features the starweirds. Probably won't get the rights to publish though.
@@Unagam1GD you could possibly turn it into a comic or animated video if you have the resources. I'd like to see that story 1 day
@@zogood3495 We're making it a three title series that features the unknown region adventures of two new characters
@@Unagam1GD keep us posted and market it soon!
This is the best channel to dive into and understand Star Wars lore. I never knew how deep this actually is. Amazing 😎👍
Sorcerers of Rand seem like walking contradictions. They seek out constant destruction yet don't destroy themselves as part of that destruction, and the whole "we can create the future, but you know its not guaranteed" kinda like the random chance that would happen without some magical power.
I’m starting a SW:F&D RPG game for my wife, and this has given me so many ideas for our game.
My theory is that starwierds are sith force ghosts that have been further corrupted by the dark side after death and that if a starwierd king exists then I like to think that that’s darth nihilus
I think your theory is possible. With Starwierds being sith ghosts that have been further corrupted by the dark side.
A starwierd king would prob be tenebrous/valkorion
They should have a unknown regions animated series. It would be so interesting. Great videos btw
Asteroid worm is in empire...:)
Also I don't remember thing in Solo. I'm sure it's there. I'm gonna have to rewatch Solo!!
How come this Ramdites didn´t became the main antagonists instead of bringing back Palpatine?
How would Dark side Yoda or even prime Yoda fair against these creatures/entities?
Loving the new format I can kill 1/16 of a shift listening to lore I like it
Since the Yuzhan Vong are from a different galaxy entirely I’m very interested in what else is in the star wars universe
Space is extremely empty, you could be in our solar system and plot a random course towards the center of our galaxy and the chance colliding with something like a planet or asteorid would be insignificant...
The Mongol Mongol is similiar to the Flood From Halo, With The Hivemind and Objective to Consume anything and Everything. Even using The Undead for that Purpose.
So the Biggest Threat To The Star Wars Universe is essentially what if a warhammer 40k or lovecraftian species existed in star wars
If I had to travel through deep space, I'd legit close the blast shields to every window on the ship.
I think Force light could potentially kill a starweird.
Yikes. Much to learn I still have. It's fascinating learning that there are things that could be more dangerous than anything I've seen in the movies and shows
That's exactly right. I listen to these while I do stuff sometimes. Usually I just watch tho.
Imagine a series:
Star Wars: Lost in the Unknown Regions.
And its a sith and a jedi whom were fighting messing up their ship amidst there fight so much they get lost in the deepest reaches of space, and get attacked by the outer beings and end up working together to survive, and develop a brotherhood from working together. It would be a fantastic horror series.
Aw, dude that's awesome.
Love that
This is a better idea than anything disney has made
There was an official star wars anima anthology series released a couple years ago - excellent stuff. That would be the prime candidate to explore such concepts
Congratulations. Your comment is better then anything Disney ever did with Star Wars.
Anyone else still waiting for part 3 of Qui Gon training Anakin?
That's some Warhammer 40K right there. Those are Warp Demons. Ooooo can we have some Chaos Jedi? That would be kind of awesome.
Imagine being a powerful sith controlling that squid monster. It would be amazing.
The Starweirds remind me of those spirits that came out of the Ark of the Covenant!
Excellent video, we need more videos about the original star wars EU and less of Disney shite,
The New Jedi Order series was the best, so brutal, you never knew who was going to die next, it kept you on edge throughout the whole series.
Can I just correct you 2 things though, 0:27 "be wary" not "weary"... weary means to be tired, wary is to be cautious.
02:00 it was the empire strikes back, not a new hope, unless I'm missing something?
Anyway bro, do another vid, love it!!
I watch your videos and those like yours while im drifting off to sleep. You give me weird dreams.
"NEVER Go To The Unknown Regions" Well there go my afternoon plans
they should make a new show about one of the species in the unknown regions to show us how dangerous the area is and what the area/planets looks like
Can you please do some work on Vitiate,Valkorion for a future video please, I love all your content on the ancient Sith Lords and love all your videos. Please make more longer compilations, possibly one very long one on the old republic?? Keep up the Entity level work!!!!!
Wow what a gold mine for Star Wars tv series or movie projects Disney will never touch but we will see.
Alternate timeline. Anakin (uninjured) and the Jedi after destroying the Emperor face off against these foes.
There’s so many cool things in the real Star Wars universe. We could’ve had such a good run of new stories if Disney hadn’t gone full Disney. You never go full Disney.
Abeloth made palpatine look like a youngling
Amazing and extremely entertaining yet grotesque and even spooky at times.
I wanted to write a story: Padme survived and was taken to the unknown regions by a pioneer, who married her then. A figure of her was buried instead of her. She was forbidden from returning to the Empire not to be scented out by Palpatine. Years later she escaped to find her children and was killed in the destruction of Alderaan
Mid
“In the background while you cook or work or whatever” while I’m literally cooking with this in the background hahahah
This is where the fun begins 😎
Imagine this, a survival horror game set on a fleet of broken down Republic vessels sent into the Unknown Regions on a scientific expedition, much akin to that ship graveyard section in Dead Space 3, with your character having to evade the Starweirds while attempting to find a way off the broken fleet and escaping back to Republic space.
Normally I’d say that would never happen given Disney’s ownership of the IP these days, but considering that Respawn have been knocking it out of the park with the games telling Cal Kestus’ story and we’re due for a game from Ubisoft set from a bounty hunter’s point of view, I could see something a bit more mature getting greenlit so long as there’s enough demand for it.
So.... Starwars universe has Enderman? noted.
And/or SCP-096.
I really hope the StarWeirds are introduced into cannon.
That nightmare fuel could be a great contrast to the usual enemies we see in SW
Be *wary of the unknown. Weary means tired. Wary means cautious. I wouldn't be so pedantic except you're using it as your tagline ;p
Did you happen to notice his pronunciation of "Macabre"?

your content is wonderful. the information is fantastic. the graphics and art are beautiful. your cadence and inflection and tone could NOT POSSIBLY sound more like a third grader reading their lines at a school play.
CORRECTION:
It was in The Empire Strikes Back - NOT A New Hope - where we are first introduced to asteroid worms in Star Wars.
I wish they would feature this in movies
It's a shame Disney decanonized the entire expanded universe
From what I’ve heard about skeleton crew being a stranger things style of teen show, I think it would be so cool to have a star weird episode. I couldn’t imagine something scarier than one showing up out of nowhere and then chasing the crew around the ship
Lucasfilm comics really said "aight imma make space Ohio"
It is known that if you don't plan a route before going into hyperspace, you can fly right into a star. Hyperspace is achieved by speed. It's not a dimension. If that were the case, Han wouldn't have said "Hold on tight". Also, you can tell it's speed by watching a ship go into hyperspace.
Hopefully Disney will never touch the untouched universes of Star Wars
Knowing Disney, I wouldn't be surprised if they did.
@@BrandontheAwesome A "What if?" type series would actually work pretty well for these threats, you just have to have the right person helm it. It's not enough to just be a 'fan' of Star Wars, and be a competent director or writer, you have to be brave enough to dive into places that normally only people like John Carpenter or Dario Argento or other horror directors would go, and not have it be so extreme that it can't be shown on Disney +. It's a delicate balance, even if Disney gave their full support and took a hands-off approach. Someone mentioned Guillermo del Toro, and I can't say I disagree; I can see him putting together something very great, if he collaborates with Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni.
He has a new series coming out that includes a Lovecraft adaptation, so he's not afraid of cosmic horror. But he can also dial it back to make it palatable for younger audiences, and not have it a full blown gore fest (even in animated form).
like the pyramids of old and the ancient artifacts they hold, you come seeking great power, but great power is always protected.
