    I can picture Mother Jungle being reborn over several thousand years on Tatooine. Being psychic and attached to The Living Force, all her memories would return over time. The Jawas and Sand People still have legends of when their world was green, so I'm sure they wouldn't mind. Especially if the Ithorians used part of her to revive Ithor. The latter part wouldn't start for centuries, but in the meantime, Tatooine turns green, and a large part of the planet becomes the new Mother Jungle. Tatooine's Mother Jungle manages to figure out what the planet was like before the Rikattans glassed it and purposely holds back from taking over more than a third. And, even then, only where it appears that forests used to be anyway.

    The Ithorians were one of my favorite species in Star Wars. So it hurts seeing the Vong do what they did to them.
    Makes me want to see how the Vong would react to the Blackwing Virus, or maybe the Flood from Halo. Anything to inflict every last shread of pain Ithor felt on that very day.

Roron Corobb is still my favorite and his appearance in the og Clone Wars is one of my favorite scenes in all of Star Wars. The way he uses force bellow is just so cool. I still hold out hope that Byph is still alive and shows up again somewhere and Pypey would be old enough to appear as a young Jedi during the Mandalorian era so maybe he joins Luke's school.

  • @amberkat8147
    @amberkat8147 Рік тому +3

    That ending almost made me cry. That wasn't right. But maybe the Mother Jungle can be reborn from that valley on Tatooine somehow, that would be really cool. Maybe even eventually brought back to Ithor. But that's assuming the toxin the Vong dropped is no longer active and that grove on Tatooine still exists. If either of those is false, then that wouldn't be possible. It would still take take centuries, or more, to terraform Ithor to make it habitable again, sadly, but given that the Star Wars universe treats thousands of years like they're nothing, that shouldn't be a permanent problem either.

    What a amazing species, I always had an interest in learning more about these strange looking people in the Galaxy far far away (as I do with everything else in that Galaxy) but I can never remember what they're called, so when I saw this video get recommended to me, I jumped right in and, wow, they were even better than I could've imagined; but that ended, oh that terrible fate of these amazing people, it broke my heart seeing the Ithorian suffer a fate worst than death, the lost of not only their home world, but effectively everything, including their goddess.
    I seriously hope they can bring back their home and goddess in some way shape or form, because such nice people do not deserve what they got.

      If you liked this video, you should check out Star Wars the Clone Wars, the drawn cartoon series, not the cgi series. There is a Jedi master called Roron Corobb, who along with 2 other Jedi masters try to get the Chancellor to safety from General Grevious. It's a great series, not only do you get to see how powerful an Ithorian can really be, but you also get to see how truly powerful Master Windu and Yoda are as they battle the droid armies.

    Thank you, thank you, thank you for doing this video. I believe on your last video, I asked if you had done a video about the Ithorians and some commentor answered my question, which kind of made me mad, as I was asking you if you had done anything. Needless to say, I am so very happy that you finally did a video about one of my favorite aliens of Star Wars. I really didn't know much about this species, mainly just what I saw as a kid when Star Wars first came out. They were only known back then as Hammerheads, and nothing else was known about them. After seeing the Clone Wars (drawn series, not the cgi series) and seeing Jedi Master Roron Corobb use the force to amplify his vocal chords, I was hooked. Now I hope that SWTOR makes a playable race, (not gonna happen, same for the Wookies or my other favorite Star Wars race, the Devaronians) which I think would be so bad ass. Meh, I can still dream about it.

    If prior to their heavy space faring industrial stage, they had a bureaucratic/religeous system preventing most Ithorians from stepping foot on the planet beside oracles, who was and from where were they mining the raw materials?
    The timeline suggests this is before their interstellar period, so it wouldnt be from moons or trade would it?

    you know i hate the yuuzhan vong im glad they are no longer canon and i hop they never return. every time i hear of them i just hear about how they destroyed so much of the star wars galaxy. they destroyed more planets than palpatine. i hope they never return to the canon.
