I agree about the comment of the week mentioning the Protodekas, those things were MONSTROUS, capable of demolishing entire squadrons of IFT-X republic fighter tanks! 100% worth a video coverrage
The Wookie may be a primitive species, but they are technologically advanced. In Legends, they even managed to make starfighters that were used during the second Galactic Civil War. The Owool interceptors is what they were called.
I wouldn't even call them primitive. While yes, they use wood for weapons and all, but since the Rakata terraformed Kashyyyk it makes sense that the wood to be in many ways superior to other natural resources
It's contradictory to say that they're primitive and advanced especially since primitive can have negative connotations to it as in it can be used as an insult. Nothing about the Wookies is primitive, they are an incredibly advanced species just like most others within the Star Wars universe.
@@senorbolainas2991 I find that when most folk say “primitive” what they mean is a culture spends too much time outside and doesn’t care enough about money or the bread and circuses of the “civilized” world. Basically a relic of British colonialism, their equivalent of the Roman’s calling everyone else barbarians.
Being primitive and being sophisticated are not mutually exclusive. Oftentimes primitive technology requires a higher level of individual skill to make and use. Woodworking, flint knapping, agriculture, weaving, hunting, and foraging are intensely technical. Many civilizations with access to metalworking did not prioritize its development due to a lack of convenient access to resources that allowed for long-term experimentation, unlike the coal and steel that made the British uniquely advantaged. In fact it was in part dependence on complex and vulnerable trade networks that facilitated the real life Bronze Age Collapse. The relatively scarce (for the technology of the time) metal tin, which when alloyed with copper makes bronze, had to travel vast distances to arrive in places like Greece and Egypt. There is bronze in Egypt whose tin can be traced back to Britain. That is how huge the demand for tin was. Entire tribes were supported in large part by their mining of tin for trade. It is that same large-scale trade vulnerability that makes similarly global markets so unstable even to this day. Just look at the petroleum trade. In comparison, there is a resiliency and stability in more primitive and localized technologies that cannot be ignored.
I also love the designs of their lightsabers by Wookie force users such as Tyvokka, Gungi and Lowbacca. Particularly with Tyvokka's due to him possessing a curved hilt with a yellow blode. Which leads me to believe that he was either a user of form 2 or 5. Or a mix of both.
Curved-hilted blades in real life are used ONLY in fencing, & given that the ONLY fencing-styled counterpart in lightsaber combat is Form II, said wookie would definitely have a heavy preference for Form II, if not using it exclusively. curved-hilted blades are a particularly bad match for Form V, given that the form's emphasis on aggressive offense based almost exclusively on raw power, with little finesse to speak of.
@@rodgill9376 In Bane's case, it was more the exception than the norm. He was given the lightsaber instead of choosing to make his own in such a manner, & he kept using it because it worked FOR HIM, instead of because it fitted Form V itself.
If I have one good yet imaginary way to praise them, it's that the Wookiee tech *should have had* the benefit of what is basically mystical access to the Force, thus making it ultra-successful magitek.
Wookiees are an extremely spiritual people, so that would certainly work for them, and the Rakata did experiment with Kassyk and made it damn near radiate the Force. So yeah, I love that concept! The Jedi even had Force infused swords that were basically enchanted weapons, so why not the Wookiees? Maybe the Wookies who were Force sensitive often took on the role of shamans and other spiritual leaders.
I give the force awakens credit for the one scene of Han trying Chewies weapon since we ALL waited to try it...but on the other hand you'd think he'd shot it before.
Yeah pretty farfetched to think in ALL the MANY years together even BEFORE the Original Trilogy SW movies Chewie never once grunted to Han in wookie "here try mine real quick yours doesn't have the firepower for that target" to even momentarily take out something.
The Wookies should have just put in a _large_ order for MWC-35c "Staccato Lightning" repeating cannons [Baze's minigun from Rogue One]. Those would be SMG's with an attached fannypack for a Wookie. A bit of wood panelling, a few vines around the cable connection, and they're ready to go.
@@weldonwin That would be ridiculous firepower, especially indoors. But.... hear me out, a Gungang force shield held in the off hand. That Wookie is just hosing fire while from behind see through cover, that they can take with them.
And I thought things like the AT-ATs and Reciprocating Quad Blasters were OP. How the heck did the Empire take over this place in 19 BBY when the Wookies had stuff like this!?
If I remember correctly, the empire had to deal with multiple large scale rebellions and guerilla warfare on kashyyk. They really only kept trying due to the usefulness of wookies as slave labor due to their strength and mechanical skills
My guess would be the empire throwing cannon fodders after cannon fodders at the planet (the empire has shit tons of those to spare after all), wearing the wookies out until they can hardly even raise their bowcasters. in simpler terms, sheer numbers, in the order of somewhere between 1000 to 10,000 to 1.
ok i admit im no fan of kanine spieces but you sir have made me rethink upon just turning the wookie homeworld into rocks. the wookies have an impressive arsenal that i had no idea about.
Except for their bowcasters which ALSO make great heavy weapons apparently for normal sized races. An some of their melee weapons AREN'T TOO farfetched even for use by other races.... Like.. whom WOULDN'T use a wookie bowcaster as part of their primary arsenal if a wookie faction or even just 1 or 2 wookies gifted you one or had one made for you for any reason
@@hamishbartholomaeusI am both a Clone Wars fan Of Ashoka and of Togruta ,A hunter Species like Wookiee but with more civilisation and I have read the Original thrawn trilogy Hand of thrawn duology and the new thrawn books and ascendency trilogy , So yeah Togruta and Chiss are epic alongside the Wookies
could you explain any star wars lore about disruptors and how they are different from regular blasters in the GFFA? Usually we hear them mentioned in Trek, not Star Wars, so I'm curious to see how the lore, if any, stacks up.
From what I understand, Disruptors work on much the same principle as Blasters, using Tibana gas to form a bolt of energised plasma, but Disruptors dump a MASSIVE amount of energy into the target all at once, to absolutely rip apart the target at the molecular level and incinerate them instantly.
@@CloneScavengerVulpin8389wookies are quick learners they could learn alot from the mon calamari and wookiee slaves were used to build the first death star....which explains they definitely can use acquired knowledge to build alot of things
I wish could have see these and the movie the wookiee weapons against the clones in the movie my question is if the weapons were that powerful they take down their enemies with a single blast why did the clones destroying the wookiee that quick. Should the wookiee win this battle what do you
if they didn't like living in the woods and a primitive lifestyle and their battle tactics were less individual and more unified no one would talk $|-|it about them and no one in their right mind would fawk with them ever
In Legends, or the EU, they made terrifying vehicles that could destroy AT-STs with ease and even damage AT-ATs. The Battle Scythe is what they called it. They also made use of the Kas Tank and the Sentinel.
Wookie cultural conservatism severely hampers their species. The simplest example is they had claws that _by tradition_ they couldn't use against intelligent species, which was _stupid_ as that would be a one shot killing blow, a Wookie could be a whirlwind of death in close combat. Imagine if they got their claws cybernetically enhanced! while there's no adamantium, there are still some very useful materials and prehaps going for something non-conductive? Then just try finding a hold out blaster in a Wookies fur. They had so many advantages they squandered, they could have been a major power and not a ball to be kicked around, if they had played it smart. Urbane Wookies (wearing tatical kilts and a multipocket vest, with a grooming bot for their fur in one pocket) with a vox implant so they can vocalise the common Galactic languages. They leverage their 400+ year lifespan to move up the ladder in corporations, as well as become very skilled in various fields. Also being a 7 foot tall killing machine helps in office politics, even just by implication. Using your claws as a letter opener is a power move, as is just flashing them. Wookies could colonise planets that many other mainstream species find inhospitable, Chewie could walk around naked on Hoth, Endor and Tatooine. That's a very wide range of Biomes. They should have made a few bolthole colonies on the far end of secret hyperspace routes. And openly emigrated in groups to strategic worlds that had difficult environments, as they could adapt to and exploit them better than other species. Finally Wookies knew secret hyperspace routes and had their own class of Force Sensitive Pathfinders. Wookies could have started their own frieght companies and dominated their competition by the fact that not only could a individual Wookie be skilled in every position needed, but they could also be the forklift and powerloader during cargo transfers. And if the crew was all Wookie, they could take secret hyperspace shortcuts to really undercut their competition.... With a 400 year lifespan they could reproduce a lot if they wanted, and even used medical tech for IVF (a lesson Vulcans should learn, particularly in the Kelvin timeline). Then they would be a common species and could kick the Trandosians ass. There was a reason that Wookies were popular as slaves, and it wasn't the ease of control (it was very very risky). It was because they were very useful workers, a Wookie would never be hard up for a job on any multispecies planet. As long as they were a low population backwater species that lived a by choice traditional lifestyle, they will always be at the mercy of greater powers.
Ok you are a large ape Yep And you live in a jungle Yup So you shoulf only be able to use large sticks Seems right to me Where did you get that op hand cannon which outdoes most known firearms Oh thats just basic engineering
If you ever piss off a Wookie, remember that the heavier variants of human longswords are upwards of _2_ pounds, and that you're about to be bisected by a giant, hairy carpet wielding a _33_ pound sword.

Sad you didn't cover wookie arsenal from star wars galactic battlegrounds. They had so much cool stuff in there.
imagine losing a capital ship to a handful of ground turrets manned by a single monkey man. How did the CIS not just give up after that embarrasment?

Love their weapons! Some of the coolest and most unique looking in Star Wars. The republic commando game did a nice job emphasizing their power💯
I like that your using alot of pictures from Star wars galaxies! Loved that game, especially the Kashyyk expansion
A video like this reminds one to not mock life day when in a public space.
As a certain protocol droid said: "Let the wookiee win".

Threats of orbital bombardment I'm sure.

@@russellpesek So I guess even after The Clone Wars ended, Sector 12 was still giving the Empire the most trouble.
Probably by Glassing a couple of cities from orbit and demanding they surrender before they glass a few more
