The book should’ve ended with a squad of snow troopers, searching the ruins of the Academy and signalling Lord Vader that they found something.
Would’ve been a nice little way of tying it all together
That definitely could've been cool. Just a small little epilogue mentioning it.
let me guess, the murakami orchid or what's left of it
nice reference to the final episode of star wars tcw
@@JongsungChoi I feel like it would probably be what's left of the Sith Lord.
"he decided he could fly the ship without the flight computer after all" Lmao.
I mean, better that than the alternative
Stay on the ground and you'll probably get it cut up like the person just outside of the ship.
Pergus: "ok, there are hundreds of sith zombies out there, and the flight computer is outside... what should i-"
Kindra: "open the hatch pergus you're my only hope!"
Pergus: "well.... can't turn down a lady."
*opens hatch and saw hundreds of red lightsabers ignite*
Kindra: "he opened it so let me go!"
*Sith zombies slashed and ate her to pieces*
Pergus: *shutting the hatch* you know what i can fly this ship without the flight computer.
The fact that the zombie picked up his own head and threw it at a guy is truly terrifying.
I would disagree, I find it rather corny.
@@techpriest6962I disagree, I find it strengthens how terrifying this virus is when you think about how the virus has a horde connection like WWZ virus, is able to use weapons, Starships ( if the virus sees a person piloting any kind of spacecraft it can copy exactly what the person did or if the virus has infected pilots in the horde it will spread the knowledge of how to pilot on the rest of the horde), and if I remember correctly the virus has some connection to the force albeit small and not very strong compared to the Sith or Jedi (unless it has one of those two infected or has a huge horde) it can mess with people’s minds. In death troopers when chewy is taken out of solitary confinement the virus begins to infect chewy it starts talking to him in his native tongue in a demonic voice saying he had done horrible things like eating Wookiee children, while giving chewy distorted flashbacks of his childhood, seeing the face of his family and wife melting and grinning at him all while the virus was telling him to eat and kill until Zahara extracted the gray fluid from a that started to boil up welp. Another incident like this happens later on in the book when the Longo brothers are escaping from the purge( name of the ship for those who haven’t read or watched information on death troopers) into the Star destroyer they look back to see their father who been dead for two weeks now undead grinning at them menacingly paralyzing the Longo brothers for a short time it’s as if the virus knew the pain it was causing. These two incidents show that the virus has a higher intelligence when compared with other zombie viruses and could imply force sensitivity do to the virus having the ability to create vision in one’s head which is a Sith ability that Palpatine uses to manipulate Anakin. Also later on in the book when Zahara stab’s an infected researcher in the head with a syringe that happened to contain an antivirus in it. The infected researcher begins to have a moment of clarity pulling the syringe out of his head, stopped attacking and manages to write the projects name Blackwing for Zahara to discover. This implies something terrifying that while the virus takes over the person body it doesn’t remove the person consciousness rather locking it away or limiting the host consciousness to were they can do nothing but watch as they tear their fellow men apart. The point I’m trying to make is that the zombie picking up its own head and throwing it at a person isn’t corny but terrifying when you think of what this virus does to its host and could possibly mean that the host could possibly be conscious even with his head removed from his body.
At least that’s my opinion
@@techpriest6962 I would find it corny if it was a zombie outbreak on earth but since it’s Star Wars and there is sith alchemy and the force involved with the sickness I don’t find it to be corny.
I find it hilarious honestly
Flashbang out
“I have a very particular set of skills.”
I love that nod to Liam Neeson, aka Qui-Gon Jinn.
Not so much a nod as a giant glowing neon sign that reads "YOU GET IT? IT'S REFERENCE!"
That shi had me rolling 😭
The best thing about this story for me, is that, like in Rogue One... no one has plot armor. It's the best kind of storytelling, honestly.
yes dude
Yeah, it feels like an everyman for themselves and we would see their fates individually. Love it.
no one has plot armour but the zombies lol
@@kkp1721fr lol
Except here they're Sith and Jedi not random Imperials. Plot armor isn't necessary but SOME competence would've been nice.
Jedi vison "you were taught more than how to fight." Proceeds to go Doom Slayer on the zombies.
holy shit Zo made became such a murder machine doomguy would be proud and fuckin Tolks reaction being leave some for me is so badass
"Rip and Tear, Until it is Done."
@@speedman69420, going up against undead Sith will do that sort of thing.
@@occam7382 yes
"long have i waited"
I was thinking the same thing
Somehow, saintmillion still doesn't have more subs
(Trousers off in respect)
Considering doing other horror tales beyond Star Wars?
Yeah me too it's been a very long time for this...
Nice to know Frode made it in the end, usually average joes like him are the first to die in horror stories like this.
Average joes don't got them plot restraints
Well. He stayed with the ship. He also closed the doors up too. He's really lucky, that the infected Sith didn't use their lightsabers to start cutting their way in to infect him.
@@CHRF-55457Back in the day doors where made and enchanted with sterner stuff with how common Jedi and Sith where.
@@CHRF-55457, I think he flew away almost immediately after shutting the door again.
@@occam7382He actually did. The moment he close the hatch again, he realized that he could fly without risking his life by picking up the flight computer system on the ground.
There's something darkly humorous about a Sith Academy imploding basically overnight and everyone there dying with only like one innocent casualty.
Who was the one innocent casualty?
@@occam7382 The jedi girl's brother
@@RegalRoyalWasTaken, oh. You mean Rojo?
I mean, I personally wouldn't call him innocent, but I can see where you're coming from.
@@occam7382 Fair nuff lol
The official audio books for Death Troopers and Red Harvest will always be amazing for the horrifying music and scream effects it plays over the narration.
If you purchase the audio books for no other reason, at least get them for the ambiance. It's amazingly well done.
ya its just too bad Death Troopers is abridged
The screams just add to the chill-factor
Have to heavily agree. Normally I don't buy audio books, but after having bought both Death Troopers and Red Harvest I have to say, for something that came out in 2009, the quality is top notch. The narration for the first book is STILL my personal favorite and I KEEP ending up listening to it on occasion despite having finished it. Random House Audio did a wonderful job with their Star Wars audio books, and it's gotten me more hooked on them then before lol.
@DestructiveSlayer especially little things that really make a scene all the better.
Like when in Death Troopers (Spoilers)
Dr. Cody finds her droid Waste nearly destroyed and his last words drone off as he powers down "They. Just. Eat."
Could have just spoken the words and you'd get the plot, but using sound effects to make it a powering off droid makes the words more eerie to hear.
No kidding, I've listened to Death Troopers multiple times, and I always find myself looking behind me. That's how good the ambiance is
*Hears a girl asking for help*
Pergus: Don't mind if I do
*Opens the door and sees someone getting mauled to pieces*
Pergus: Fuck this shit, I'm out.
Pergus is great. I'd really like to see what he got up to after the events of this book.
The fact that she tried to throw Pergus under the bus but instead screwed herself was ironic.
@@jocelantonettetenoc5996, that's something of a trend with the Sith, isn't it?
Guy wanted that sith goochy till he saw her being eaten and was like "ya know what. It ain't worth the trouble i might as well jusy fly this damn ship away from this hanger so i don't end up like that b****"
Sith Student before: "Zombies! Back off creeps."
Sith Student later: "Take me and make me immortal!"
Jedi Student: "Ok, these guys are beyond saving and they suck generally. Bye."
Given how this novel takes place 2 years before the beginning of SWTOR's character storylines, I occasionally think about what would've happened if the zombie outbreak from this novel ended up becoming galactic in scale...
@Jedi_Spartan_38 if I remembering right isn’t there a SWOTOR quest where you go to a Blackwing outbreak on a planet? I know there’s one where the player stops a Rakghoul outbreak.
@@Lopez-sm2sc I think that's Star Wars Galaxies (the Star Wars MMO before SWTOR).
@@Jedi_Spartan_38 Yeah I know Star Wars Galaxies had a Blackwing event after the book came out but I was saying SWTOR cause I faintly remember if a player that was playing a Jedi or Sith attacked a certain amount of zombies their lightsaber would turn black and not like the dark saber that has a white light/Aura around it I mean pure emptiness like it gave no light and it looked like a black hole waiting to consume it’s next victim.
Sorry if my response came out harsh in any way but now I’m going to be thinking about this in the back of my head since I faintly remember watching a video on Blackwing and how the person was talking about a quest in SWOTOR that had Blackwing in it but I watched that a long time ago and don’t remember the video’s name or UA-camr but thank you for taking the time to reply to my questions.
@@Lopez-sm2sc I can't remember any Blackwing events but SWTOR has Rakghoul events a lot (which can get very annoying when you're just trying to casually go through story missions on low level characters and hear Rakghouls screeching every 30 seconds).
@@Jedi_Spartan_38 Any tips to give for the Rackghoul event? I just started playing SWOTOR last month. ( I know about the game since it came out but didn’t have a PC at the time).
The sith surrounding the man with lightsabers was a chilling scene, the fact they turned on the woman and ripped her apart was so cold and dark.
She was my fave character so it hit harder.
I recognized all those L4D special & common infected sounds
So, he had no idea if eating a jedis heart would actually work.
There was a continuity error. According to Wookipedia:
Toward the end of the novel, Hestizo Trace mentions returning to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant in order to further her education and training. This is an error, as the Temple was destroyed during the Sacking of Coruscant, eight years before the setting of the novel.
Thanks for that, Malgus.
What's funny too is this is even mentioned in the book as well, while her brother is on Genonosis. The sacking of Coruscant is literally mentioned during that chapter by a republic solider, so the fact she mentions returning to the temple is just a whoopsie on Joe's part.
Wait... this whole thing was set during the Great Galactic War? Holy crap, Darth Vitiate must have been pissed he wasn't in on the thing. Sounds like a lot easier way to become immortal than channeling his inner Darth Nihilus.
Eight years is enough time to build the temple. Cmon now, consider real world buildings, how long it takes us to build or rebuild them after a natural disaster like a tsunami. Usually around a few months, a year at most.
@@CHRF-55457 However, in the game "Star Wars: The Old Republic", we SEE that the Temple is still in ruins. SWTOR takes place TEN years after the Sacking of Coruscant.
The sith survivor's were severely underused.
I wish there was epilogue of the only thing to survive the explosion was the holocron as it was found thousands of years later by Darth Vader
Or one of the bodies, frozen solid of the centuries, but with enough… whatever, left to do something with.
It could even explain any small differences between the ways the disease works in the books. One was made from Sith alchemy straight from the source, the other second-generation, enhanced and modified by Imperial science.
These types of videos are the absolute best. Your have a good narration voice, you add extra trivia that’s relevant, and you pop in a joke here and there in most of your vids. I hope you do more of these kinds of videos and that you only do so without rushing yourself. You kick ass
Fr he doesn’t even have to do the horror stories, any Star Wars story’s would be fantastic.
25:25 I love that the virus is conscious, it’s such a creepy almost Eldritch idea. 32:56 Especially when it talks about being a beast with a face of blood and fire.
Personally, I thought it was creepier in Death Troopers when it was saying, "Eat and Kill, Eat and Kill, these are the true songs of Life Day (major holiday in Star War)."
@@iliadnetfear2586it affects different aliens differently. A personal hell is presented to each species victim to the virus.
@@iliadnetfear2586That scene was creepy too but I personally found the more seductive or alien version of the sickness I found scary. Though an interesting detail in both is that the sickness also destroys what the infected person loved in their past life, for Dail’liss it was knowledge, for Chewbacca it was his family and Life Day (from the equally scary Star Wars holiday special). If I were to speculate the infection is simply amplifying the more basal form of life which is to kill, consume, and spread and is at odds with more sophisticated thought outside of achieving that goal. That’s why it’s associated with the Sith, much like the dark side of the force it wants you to give into your darkest emotions at their most primitive and aggressive until you can’t escape!
@lorddevilfish5868 it's kinda like Keyes from Halo when the flood got him.
Forced to watch as it slowly striped away his memories and his identity.
@@iliadnetfear2586the only thing is that the Flood is 1000× worse as your still conscious and while the flood breaks your body then your mind after when it finds it can use you in whatever special way it can and if thats not bad it then does as you said (like to Keys where he begged John to kill him when he sensed him) it will then wipe out your mind and merge you with others and the only thing you know is what it tells you and that then forms a grave mind like form H2 and thats really horrific because as keys he still knew that something was off and that he wasn't "right" having that feeling and being used as such forever, as there is no end to the flood (unless they run out of food and even then could survive for who knows how long) that is the definition of galaxy horror virus like Halo lore has the potential to be one of the most brutal and horrific galaxys to love in 😅
It’s a real shame we never got an interquel detailing how the Empire discovered and started developing the virus into a bio-weapon, coulda been pretty sweet to read this author’s interpretation of Vader facing ancient Sith undead
Either the original holocron survived, or the Empire found the spaced corpses. Not a very fun story one way or another.
@@BIGESTblade what do you mean? If the Empire found corpses in space floating, why would they even grab them, let alone care why some looked possibly preserved (I know it’s Star Wars, but it’s still Space), and if they found the sith holocron, it’d most likely be in the wreckage of the Sith Academy, you know on that Planet with a bunch of Sith artifacts and possibly a bunch of very hungry zombies waiting for their next meal and chance to spread. If a writer is good, they could still make your examples into a good story, it might just take more effort then just Empire vs Zombos
@@nathanielleguizamo409 Would you find it interesting if something visibly dead for a very long time was thrashing in space and trying to reach your ship?
@@BIGESTblade you think those thrashing corpses continue to move after a few minutes in the cold void of outer space? Let alone thousands of years? Again, I know it’s Star Wars, but it’s also outer space. I find the idea silly, but like I said a competent writer with skill could make that scenario into a fun story
@@nathanielleguizamo409 Considering they were moving while being technically dead before - yes.
I think the most terrifying thing about the infection for me is what they did with Kindra, how the infected held off killing her until she could get them a ship. A virus that can think is terrifying.
I wonder whether some of those creatures, especially Tulkh and Lussk, were still around during the events of "Death Troopers"...
Probably just floating in space aimlessly forever.
Dead as a doornail
Always liked this one more than Death Troopers. For one, I love the location of a Sith Academy on an Ice Planet. For another, Scabrous is just a terrifying villain. Also, I never liked the inclusion of Han and Chewie in Death Troopers. Removed much of the tension because it was clear that they will get out alive.
If I have any complaint about Red Harvest is that the side story following some surviving Sith wasn‘t better integrated (it ran parallel to the Main Story, most of them get killed off and the only survivor gets captured offscreen by Zombies and then unceremoniously axed off). Also, some things just happen because they would be a cool, creepy visual if this were a Movie (Zombie Taun Tauns carrying Zombies in their bellies? I mean, sure, yuck! But also: Why?)
Still a good read. And something that (with some changes) would make for an entertaining SW-themed Horror-Flick)
The Sith Lady should have survived and left the planet. Never told anything to the Dark Council on Dromund Kaas in fear of what Vitiate might have done with It, but left her story on a holocron. Said holocron could have been recovered by Darth Plagueis during his research on Midi-Chlorians, and that's how Palpatine learned about Scabrous and started the whole Blackwing Project we see in Death Troopers. That would be better than using the entire Sith cast as meat for the undead.
The zombies didn't want to walk so they found a very creative way of using tauntauns
Death troopers and this always kind of felt like they would be better as a film or game you know? Like they have really cool concepts like the infection and a lot of really cool scenes that would work great as a visual scene. But they kind of feel cheap in a novel to me.
I mean don’t get me wrong, I like these books. But stuff like the Imperial shuttle pilot dying just to fake out a death and the surviving officers surviving in the shuttle just to die to an ending scare feel much more like the ending to a film than a book. Just a lot of potential for depth sacrificed just for some cheap scares.
I love all the old Kotor music and and sound effects
At 34:34 at Chapter 31 - Flesh Blizzard.
The zombie falls down like a cartoon character. This horror novel did have some funny moments
Zo’s vision: “you were taught more than how to fight”
What Zo heard: *”RIP AND TEAR, UNTIL IT IS DONE”*
Red Harvest always reminded me of The Evil Dead 1, also Scabrous reminds me of the Tall Man from Phantasm. A lot more serious, higher stakes, and horrifying. I do love Death Troopers too, but the inclusion of Han and Chewie is like putting Vin Diesel and The Rock into a slasher movie.
That was *exactly* my only problem with the Death troopers book
Honestly, Fast & Furious vs Slasher Villains sounds like a great movie, imagine Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson punching Jason in the face.
I imagine han and chewie would come up traumatized for life out ot that tbh
@@LaloSalamancaGaming69Drink alot to forget and move on. Besides, they lost no one important to them during that insanity.
Just imagine getting a letter of acceptance from a Sith academy...

Kindra, the last Sith apprentice standing, should have lived
Not rlly. She got caught. She even sacrificed one of her companions for all the good that did it.
@@CHRF-55457, plus, if she did escape with Frode ande Hestizo, it probably would've seen her turn on them at some point anyway. She was a Sith, after all.
She literally ditched one of her companions for her getaway and tried to throw Pergus under the bus by baiting him to open the hatch.
There are defenetly some books/comics which could use more coverage. Darth Plagueis, Kenobi, Dark Times, Knights of the Old Republic Comics, the Approaching Storm, Truce at Bakura or the Coruscant Nights-Trilogy. Just from the top of my head.
If only Zo knew how right she was about the sickness getting out three thousand years later when Vader commissioned it into becoming a VERY deadly bioweapon
Man, it's creepy how much the Blackwing Virus takes after The Flood from Halo. And the Flood is one of my most feared undead infections because of just how unstoppable and deadly it truly is.
it would've been a nightmare if abeloth somehow mastered and tamed the sickness and became the gravemind of star wars
@JongsungChoi and the flood is always holding back because they want the galaxy to work together.
The Blackwing Virus is equal parts the T-Virus, Rage Virus and The Flood wrapped into one
“I have been looking forward to this”
It always amazes me that this takes place around the time of SWTOR. Missed opportunity to bring this into the game (I know they already had the rakghoul event, but still…)
Honestly I kinda like Rakghoul as Star Wars’ equivalents to zombies a little more, not that these guys are bad, but the body horror into a grotesque alien monster feels more unique to the setting. The perfect zombies would be a mix of both rakghoul and the infection zombies. Have them be a conscious malevolent alien entity within the dark side stripping people of their humanity and turning them into body horror monsters!
Incredible video! I would love to see Maul: Lockdown next. As it is the last (midwaypoint) book in this ''trilogy' by Joe Schreiber as some characters and the purge from Death Troopers show up in it and it follows a similar horror vibe. Plus Maul: Lockdown is at an intresting moment in the LORE druing Darth Plagueis and linking many other pre-episode 1 stories such as the Darth Maul comics, Shadow hunter and many more. Keep going, it is extremly refreshing to see these Legends stories being brought back to the forefront in such an incredible way.
What characters from Death Troopers show up in Lockdown?
"I've been waiting for this!" ~ a fellow protein lover
The UA-cam Algorithm needs to pick this up NOW because its so good, gotta spread this around
fuck yes! ive been waiting for this ever since your video on death troopers dropped
41:38 bro really was that desperate 😂
Wouldn't you? Either wait to be feasted on or fly
I mean... he did make it... about a few meters...
Guy wanted that sith goochy till he saw her being torn to shreds
I imagine the daily evil shenanigans of a sith training school could make for a very entertaining television series. Everyone is trying to gain power and betray each other all the time. Black mail. Sabotage. Just pure ambitious chaos.
Based, tired of disney SW youtubers ignoring great storytelling. I hope many more great videos such as this come out in the future, so many stories to choose? Maybe the novels crosscurrent and riptide next? Has to do with cloned jedi turned sith from thrawn, and a sith ship with a lord and troopers getting pulled through time back into the post endor era. Absolutely wild books (The New Sith Order/One Sith have multiple cameos! Plus Darth Krayt)
@DarthMar2009
Disney SW fans are brain-dead bugmen.
They wouldn't know storytelling even if it
back-handed them.
Interesting timing! I just picked up Death Troopers because of your video and I am absolutely loving it. I sure will continue with Red Harvest once I've finished it.
Like others said before in the coment section: with videos like these you create something super awesome! I mean, the sounds you choose and the illustrations are just perfect which can only be topped by your narration! Thanks a lot for putting the effort into vids like these and being generally awesome :D
This book is 13 years ago today, still one of my favourite books
Red Harvest video whe...oh wait, this is the Red Harvest video!!!! Long we have waited, but thankfull its here now.😁
about time, ive been waiting so long for this video. this is one of my favorite book series
Just two things, that did bugged me a bit were:
The Nelvaanians should be a tribal species, so why is there a bounty hunter of that species around in the galaxy?
How exactly did the Blackwing-Virus now spread onto the Vector and Purge?
Vader recreated it
Yeah, they really should’ve had an epilogue where an imperial probe or a squad of snow troopers found the sith artefact in the ruins of the Academy
Regarding the Nelvaanians part: maybe it's a case that the individual one from this story had somehow somehow managed to leave the planet, similar to how a Talz appears in the Cantina in A New Hope despite the species being in a similar state of civilisation during the Clone Wars. My bigger issue is that in the few appearances for Nelvaanian characters, they ALWAYS get screwed over (Red Harvest, Maul: Lockdown and 2003 Clone Wars).
Regarding the point surrounding Blackwing on the Vector: Vader somehow came across knowledge regarding the original Sith alchemy version and either he or Sidious thought it would be a good idea to replicate it with the Star Destroyer from the original novel being used in the process.
For the first question, honestly, that is a good question, probably for slavery or maybe he was an orphan, who knows.
Second question, technically the vector was an experimental field were probably they test out the virus or maybe the virus escape. Remember that sometimes vader had free time to look for knowledge of the sith, probably he came across the sith holocrom with the information about the blackwing virus
This is absolutely superb! Thank you SaintMillion, your work is much appreciated.
let him cook
I found the audio book of this pretty underwhelming after how great Death Troopers was but still had some interesting parts like the tree creature and tauntauns
They need to make this into a game.
I need a Disney Plus Movie Based on this imagine that ❤
Bro. You do stupendous work here. Thanks for making this
EU > Canon. I love the Expanded Universe. This story is one of those reasons why.
41:30
Even in undeath; Sith need to be dramatic and extra.
Tell me about it.
“I’ve been looking forward to this…”
Wish we had more stories told from the sith perspective!
Your videos are definitely worth the wait
we need more like this, never was into star wars till i watch this, I LOVE IT
DAD'S BACK I MISSED YOU❤
I love these videos you make, A nice break after my studies. Thank you so much!!!!
How did i not see this upload until now. "Ive been looking forward to this"
You're a really good storyteller and the visuals you used made it even more immersive. Keep up the good work.
The way he tells the stories are absolutely amazing.
I really have been waiting a long time for this sence you did the first book
How did I miss this?!?!
I'm a disgrace!!
Awesome video on this great book!
We need a SW Sith academy anime
You did amazing!!! Thank you!!!😊
I LOVE THESE TYPE OF VIDEOS PLEASE DO MORE OF THESE VIDEOS
how did i not see this sooner i need this video NOW
“I’ve been looking forward to this”
A very hands down man said
42:24 …that….is probably the most weirdest and most disturbing thing I’ve ever seen. What kind of zombies tear open a tontons torso and then get inside their torsos while clinging onto their ribcage so they don’t fall out I mean holy shit that is some nasty shit😂.
Thank you! God I love your story telling here! Very well done!
Nicely made video!!!
YEAAAAHHHH BAYBEE THATS WHAT IVE BEEN WAITING TO SEE WOOO
Thank you for making this story more accessible to those of us who are ridiculously stingy with our money (me). I have looked for an audiobook upload of this novel after loving the original, but no one had made one available. A summary will have to do. One day I’ll buy both books. This book turned out better than I thought it would. On first glance, the first one feels like a scarier premise/location. Two abandoned starships, versus an entire planet, but the strength of the writer really shines through and makes the second one still good. I like how there’s moments where you think for a brief second “oh he’s about to help him” and then the sith just tosses a dude towards the zombie. Excellent character writing.
The imagines are simply Amazing and ya Telling the Novel very well.
So basically what I got from this is that scabrous was trying to become a Sith version of a lich
Thanks. Visual presentation is incredibly good! And subtitles great for non-nativ speaker.
The long wait is over hell yeah
I have waited way too long for this lol. I actually forgot about this channel until this video
The author remembered these were force users right? The victims were overwhelmed like normal people...no force pushes, force lightning etcetera...nothing makes the dead immune to the force.
They might exhibit more of their force capabilities in the actual book, but if not, it is worth noting that most of sith at the academy are most likely still in the training stage, and probably not strong enough in the force to be able to stand up against large hordes of zombies. More experienced force users like Sith Lords, Jedi Knights, Masters, and all them would probably have no issue in this situation, but these sith in particular (Minus Scabrous, of course) are still training and learning.
Actually, they did bring that up. Several students try to use the Force against the zombies. The problem is that they would never stop. The only way for the zombies to be defeated is to crush them, dismember them, or disintegrate them. Almost none of th students actually had lightsabers, so they couldn't dismember them. I can't think of anything at that academy that could disintegrate anything other than a starship thruster, and those zombies are f*cking strong. It's takes a pretty heavy weight to crush them and pin them in place.
I just checked your channel yesterday to see if you had uploaded another long-form Legends video, haha.
Man you've got to make more of these videos on novels throughout Star Wars.
Taken reference was awesome

I'm honestly shocked this has only gained around +40k views, I would have expected the last vid to sorta pull in more viewership for this one but, I guess that's UA-cam's algorithm for ya screwing it over.
One thing I'd like to mention, is I'm gonna basically consider this an abridged version of the story (much like how the previous video was an abridged version of Death Troopers). Because holy hell the actual telling of this after having listened to the audio book, gives much more detail into the story, that I highly recommend listening to if any of you enjoyed the video as much as I did. One of the key issues with this book however, is that Joe wrote far too many characters, with most either absent, or used as plot tools to be killed off, and for characters to return, with some even having unexplained events, such as Hracken having been infected already, but us not being given a clear explanation as to how it happened.
I do actually appreciate you labeling the chapters after the actual book chapter titles in the video, nice little attention to detail, and while I would have loved to have seen this video be a bit longer with more details thrown in, I can guess and understand it was to not drag it out longer then it needed to be.
I still listen to this video, and the audio books, and glad there's people who care about this part of Star Wars Legends history. Stuff like this today would not fly under Disney's umbrella with how violent and gory the books are, despite Blackwing being canon again after one of it's mobile games had it make a return. I do hope this video can eventually crack at least more then 100k someday, because there was for sure a lot of love that went into this one. Peace Saint, your content is always relaxing and chill to listen to.
Tulkh wasn't so bad afterall, despite being a savage... Rest in peace, you big furry menace.
I mean, he was still a major asshole who enjoyed eating the remains of his victims...
