*Mara’s child was Ben, not Anakin.
Was it really tho
@@bluefacebaby2590 Yes. I googled it on Wookieepedia. Here's the link. starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Ben_Skywalker
@@bluefacebaby2590 Well... this version of Ben is infinitely more relatable then then canon one.
plus you know, the guy could actually go toe to toe with a Sith masters... (albeit those masters were somewhat limited in skill because of millenia of isolation - meaning they barely stood a chance if confronting people like Kyle Katarn of Saba Sebatyne or Luke himself...)

we didn't sign the geneva conventon so i dont see the problem here

Colm McReynolds, well... the yavin code refers to prisoners and execution, not bio weapons, and if I recall correctly. The empire never signed it.

Literally every civilization ever is built on slavery.
In a place as vast as the universe, you can’t have filthy press morons ruin your image just because of a hunch. Not to mention all the stupid people that would get a podium from a galaxy wide press, it would be worse than it is here.
They’re filthy xenos anyway, Warhammer should’ve taught you that.
And honestly, what’s wrong with militarization? Especially because Palpatine probably saw the Yuuzhan Vong coming, while no one else was focused on the bigger picture. Honestly just goes to show how pathetically incompetent the masses are
@Colm McReynolds had the jack up the military for the vong invasion

Who doesn’t love hearing about Imperial Weaponry
The Rebels/New Republic
Imperial spies (would have got away with it of not for those meddling rebels)
*General Hux approves*
That's a good profile pic, Curtis.
The Be Sharp thanks, one of the many reasons why I love the Galactic Empire in Star Wars is because I’m fascinated by empires in real life.
Plus although Pro-Rebel people often refer to the Empire as being like the Third Reich, I have always seen it as an amalgamation of the Roman Empire (mostly stylistically), the British Empire (ship dominance, just ships in space instead of water), and the USA (the modernised industrial powerhouse, the language used by Tarkin about using the Death Star sounds a bit like Truman in 45; and the Death Star generally reminds me of the modern nuclear deterrent).
Remember guys Aliens didn't sign the Geneva convention

Imagine a star wars film about the blackwing virus spreading and the imperials trying stop the spreading before the rebels finding out
Yes, nothing makes better propoganda than creating a zombie plague.
Kinda suprised no one has modded one od the L4D with starwars skins and map themes
@@Kaiber_Phoenix except...there is a mod for that..
@@mrgears3045 cool dont play on pc so dont get to use mods but if that is a thing id watch a playthrough of it just for fun
I think it would be pretty cool to see a well-funded Star Wars horror film.
The Blackwing virus would be pretty solid to build a game around. A Star Wars themed Resi-style survival horror would have been pretty lit.
Been saying this for ages. The fan art alone is amazing enough to base a game
Imagine blaster shots going through corpses and just haveing a charred hole in it as it walks closer to you
They could also make a super cool Killing Floor 2 mod
Like in cod zombies they would try do a zombie mode I guess
Nah im tired if zombie games
also, what about the HORROR of REBEL bio weapons! they were hiding them on alderaan! #justicefortarkin
By the order of the galactic senate, the security council, and Order 65, you under arrest Chancellor
Yep that’s definitely why the DS-1 station blew up Alderaan. It was definitely just because they had bioweapons on there that’s why they blew up a defenceless neutral planet. Anything else is rebel propaganda

@@Boom__6678 are you threatening me master boomer
@@sheevpalpatine9253 unfortunately, I am
I'm surprised you didn't mention this, but one of the reasons that the Empire did not engage in more extensive bio-weapon usage is that shortly after the formation of the Empire, they fought a pitched border war with the Koboks of the Kobothi confederacy over what amounts to what would be the borders of the Empire called the Mavvan Conflict, and in this conflict the Empire did try to use a weaponized version of the Rooze germ, only to have their biotech backfire on them and prove to be more virulent among their own storm troopers than it was in the Kobok population. The result was a disaster that led to the Empire essentially losing a war against a minor backwater power that they probably would have otherwise defeated. This left a very bad taste in the mouth of most Imperials regarding the reliability of bioweaponry and other sorts of asymmetrical warfare. Given the Empire's dominate position in symmetrical warfare, it was felt that bioweaponry and other unconventional weaponry was simply more risky than rewarding.
Yes, the double side to bio weapons is that the weapons almost always are uncontrollable and will hit your side as hard or worse then the other
PLEASE DO A VID ON BLACKWING. Blackwing has always been an interesting topic
Death troopers is a legends book dedicated to the virus if your interested in more details.
It’s very good but kind of scary so don’t read at nigt
@@bama760 By far my favorite Star Wars book. I need to read it again soon.
@@glassramen agreed, have read it 4 or 5 times. Impossible to put down
Bruh did u watch the video 1:38
i still remember coming in from soccer practice and sighting that decapitated head of a stormgtrooper on the cover of the book Death Trooper. The concept of star wars zombies on a star destroyer husk floating through space fills me with dreadful facination to this day...
"Weaponize Hyperspace"
*Gets Episode 8 flashbacks*
My headcanon (don't care for the official excuse) is that hyperdrives are kept partially charged at all times, because doing so creates a very small interdiction field just a little larger than the ship, which protects from accidental (and purposeful) hyperspace ramming. But that the hyperspace tracking system requires that you fully discharge the drive in order to detect anything than your own ship's (or even nearby allied fleet vessels') hyperdrive signatures.
In other words, the tracking system's critical weakness is that the first order fleet could NOT have any charge in their hyperdrives if they wanted to track the rebel fleet when they jumped, and thus were vulnerable to hyperspace ramming. And well, when they saw the Raddis turn around towards them and saw what was about to happen, they panicked because they knew they didn't have enough time to get any charge in their drive before they got slammed into.
I knew i saw that somewhere
@@SephirothRyu The official excuse ignored how hyperspace works as hyperspace ramming is literally impossible as hyperspace is a totally different dimension. So in conclusion best to just ignore the new movies and everything in them.
That was the BEST scene in that movie.
@@vinnylatoria4478 it was the only good scene
Most people: star wars is a kid friendly franchi-
Eck: No it ain't
@Joe McIlroy not to mention the nightmare inducing Ansati.
Some Legends stuff is pure nightmare fuel
@@Fruitgum-xc7co I agree.

@@davidthor4405 You should be glad
Imagine in an alternate universe that the Blackwing virus managed to get the other planets now that would be a good zombie story
Rakghouls and Technobeasts: Allow us to introduce ourselves.
*Karness Muur approves.*
Yes, you did miss something critically important, which was surprising. You didn't talk about the virus or arguably viruses meant to kill off the clones. I think the first mention was in Republic Commando: Hard Contact and I think that storyline was adapted in the Clone Wars (non-Tartakovski version).
My man what?
My man what?
Huh?
I believe he's already covered that and It was started before the empire hence why it's not included here
Project Blackwing was suppose to revive dead cells to enhance troopers and it could of worked with the death troopers which was the main goal but after they got it under control they probably evacuated the ship and blew it up for safety
"Geneva convention? More like geneva suggestion"
- The empire probably
Stormtrooper: "Sir, we have arrived at the destination and I have visual on the Star Destroyer Victory."
Imperial Commander: "Can you get into contact?"
Stormtrooper: "Negative sir, but we are getting a transmission."
Imperial Commander: "Let's here it."
(The stormtrooper plays the transmission and what the hear is very disturbing."
"Oh God! Someone help me!"
"There everywhere!"
"I don't wanna die!"
"We have a containment breach! Seal off all the exits! We can't let Project Black Wing run loose!"
"Don't let the virus loose!"
"NO! NO! NO! STAY AWAY! STAY AWAY! AAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!"
(The transmission ended and everyone on the bridge was deathly silent. No one had any idea what to say. The stormtrooper was the one who broke the silence.)
Stormtrooper: "Orders sir?"
Imperial Commander: "......Get me Inferno Squad."
Why does Star Destroyer 'Victory' remind me of the Victory Star Destroyer?
did you wrote that or this is from a book?
That sounds like the intro to a great star wars game
Please sent a better Imperial Squad. Inferno Sucks.
@@bradmorales4002 you played bf2 didnt you
Wasn't there a similar outbreak to Blackwing in the Old Republic era?
There was an outbreak at a Sith academy. I think that academy was where the Empire found the virus in the first place. Then of course they tried weaponising it and it didn’t turn out too well for the Imperials. The Sith academy outbreak was featured in the novel Red Harvest.
Yeah it was the blue shadow virus that broke out on naboo in the clone wars. It wasn't really zoimbiesh either
Imperial bioweapon were so brutal it will make Imperum of man Proud
Nah it would be another weapon on their arsenal.
Plague marines on the other hand? They'd drop by and steal the stuff.
@@khahinmetameta7826 plague marines? HERETICS
Yes commissar , this comment right here
Considering the Imperium had a virus that dissolved all life on a planet into a flammable goo, I doubt they would see these bioweapons as anything worth mass-producing.
@@robertnelson9599 I would think the one the new republic was going to use would be of interest to use against chaos and the tyranids
Upcoming Republic Commando short film

Oh yay, my favorite subject from legends and an audiobook I listen to every Halloween
I know I've seen some of these topics from other channels, but you have a awesome way of presenting it all. Stay Glorious
You forgot the Blue Shadow Virus from the clone wars. I know it was not imperial but still it was super cool and would have fit very well.
The Progect Blackwing virus is one of, if not, the few star wars things that’s scared me.
The Macguffin of my Star Wars fan fiction novel trilogy, of which I have finished about a third of the second novel, is that the Imperial Nano Virus used first on the Roche asteroid & later to target the Fett genome, was based on research started on Alpha Red. In the second novel, Bror Jace discovers tampered bacta designed to enhance targeted genomes, while reducing most others to near mindless pack animals instead of sentient beings.
When you talk about bioweapons in Star Wars, the two most prevalent cases have to be Krytos and Alpha Red. Yeah, there were others but these were the two that really, dramatically effected the overall galaxy.
Would love a Dead Space game style for Death Troopers, they should've asked Visceral for that...
One thing about Blackwing I haven't seen anybody else mention. In Death Troopers, Dr. Cody stabs one of the infected in the eye with a syringe containing the antivirus. He stops attacking her, and tries communicating by talking to her and trying to write something down (which ends up being the name of the virus), before he reverts.
Wouldn't that imply that there's some semblance of the person still in there under the control of the hive mind, not quite as dead as they seem?
Was always hoping to see you cover Project Blackwing
Yeah, I want to see that Blackwing video, that sounds good.
6:15
*Ben Skywalker, you mean
its awesome you made this video because i finished death troopers yesterday
I would love a full Red Harvest and Death Troopers video. DT was my first audiobook I ever bought.
"Coom spore" excuse me?
great video, I think it would be really interesting to learn more about project black wing
The Galaxy of Fear novels also featured Bioweapons, which featured worms as a form of infection...
The book Death Troopers is about an Imperial bio weapon that breaks out on a Star Destroyer
Totally do a blackwing virus standalone vid. Great content as usual man
0:51 I know this isn’t at all relevant to the video’s subject but words can’t express how hyped I was to see just a small clip of gameplay from this classic N64 game. I grew up with this game as a hand me down from my dads high school years and it’s easily my favorite game on the N64.
Rogue squadron 3D is also available on PC, you can buy it on Gog.com.
I don't know about everyone else, but I would love to hear a more in-depth history of Project Blackwing
As the old saying goes with bioweapons:
"They always come home to roost."
I honestly feel that any mention of WMD level plot points requires the user to be deathly afraid of it being use against them. MAD, no better term has ever existed for this type of warfare.
Or you know.. have them be stupid AF, and never heed the warning until too late. Being spiteful and/or insane also works, and have the ignorance and understimation of its effects as enablers as well.
The blackwing story would make a freakin awesome star wars survival horror game.
Oh definitely do more on Blackwing.
Also a video on Project Starscream would be cool as hell.
Thanks Eckharts, this really helped me find things to Tortu- I mean, create encounters for my SW5E group to face
2:26 rogue squadron is one of my top 10 favourite games, i love it
“Get yourself some Bacta, trooper” is all I heard when he was talking about Bacta
And the zanny memes that bacta is an addictive drug
Oh! I remember that game in the beginning. Nostalgia.
bro thanks for that dog thing at the end I needed some positivity after learning about the calamar genocide
You should def do a vid on black wing! I thought it wasn’t canon until I saw thats where death troopers get their name
Would love to hear more about the Blackwing virus
1:15 I like how this is basically the villain's plan in (spoilers for a movie that came out in 1969) On Her Majesty's Secret Service.
*James bond theme plays*
This dose put a smile on my face.
yes please make another video about Project Blackwing
God damnit..I'm not even that much of a Starwars fan and i can't get enough of your Videos.
I'd love to hear more about the Black Wing virus
yes Eck, pls
I beg of your
full video on Project Blackwing, also what about Rakghoul?
I would love to hear more about the zombie style virus like as much as you have
Its great to hear about the coom virus
I read "Blow weapons" and was immediately intrigued....
please do a video on the death troopers book eck
Yes more about blackwing!
A very extremely second video as always EckhartsLadder.
In Dark Comics “Graveyard Moon” I always wanted to know more about the bio-weapon used by Dirge/Asaaj to kill off the Gungans
I definitely want to look into the zombie virus
That sounds like such an engrossing subject, especially when it's a thing many people wouldn't connect: zombies and star wars
Thanks
Vulcan225
Yes please do a video on black wing
Yes do a video on black wing!
I’d love a video on the BlackWing virus. Basically, BlackWing zombies can learn to operate machinery and weapons. In the book Death Troopers, the zombies take full control of a Star Destroyer and use the ship’s tractor beam to snag any nearby starships. Fun fact, Han Solo and Chewbacca are characters in this book. They barely escape with their lives. This incident could be why Han was spooked by the sight of Star Destroyers in A New Hope. Death Troopers takes place about a year before the battle of Yavin (1BBY)
Wouldn't mind hearing of the blackwing virus, might be interesting for the Star wars game I'm running
Gotta hear more about black wing !
Still laughing at "Coom Spore"
there is talk about a movie being filmed at Disney now with the help of Marvel called "Blackwing: a Star Wars Story" and i am not making that up. it has been mentioned through emails again and again for about 2 years now, but i do not know what the emails details as i fear being traced if i try to read it as i would get too into it most likely...
Star Wars... zombies?! There needs to be more of this, specifically in video game form...
Love your content
Blackwing would be interesting to hear about :)

Yall should cover the two star wars zombies books on the podcast for spooky month. Thank you for coming to my tedtalk.
You should talk about the black wing outbreaks
Inlever the intro every time when I’m high as fuck and it’s 04:04 in the morning I look up and see yo channel in my feeds every time without being subscribed. Till now I realized I did this more often 😂 so why not subscribe the intro got me every time
Btw please send me the link if you do have a video about the black virus ?!
The outro never gets old
Yes please, operation blackwing video
You should have talked about the Emperor's Plague.
