When are we, as a fan base, gonna move past this tired trope of stormtroopers having bad aim? They were literally the special forces of the Imperial navy…. Sure, they weren’t the Empire’s version of SEALS, but they WERE the equivalent of green berets or delta force
@@andrewjustice210 Ikr. It was the Imperial army trooper that you see in Solo that was the main battle force, was made to be disposable and was equipped with terrible weapons. But they were just a one off thing apparently, since in all the other films Stormtroopers are still the main battle force and their weapons suck too
That’s because storm troopers get 2 years of training which is far longer than modern infantry but compared to the 10 years of clone troopers there would be a skill gap to say the least also the main characters are of course supposed to be super skilled, lucky, and covered in plot armor hero type units so of course they put even the clones to shame with accuracy.
@@501thtrooper4 That might also just be the nature of warfare in our world compared to Star Wars. Most battles on Earth are fought almost outside of visual distance. Requiring more bullets to hit something. On the other hand, most star wars battles seem to be within relatively close range.
The first time we see pykes be menacing. Looks like they’re great warriors as well despite their appearance and hold grudges pretty well and take no for an answer.
I wonder if the Pike race developed a biological dependency on spice. We know there are many drugs that can be passed from the parents to their offspring in a good many species. It wouldn’t be a stretch for them to share that. If, overtime, spice became more and more normal in their society that the babies were born dependent then it makes sense why they’re able to function while so high. They have a natural tolerance and even more that builds up due to being exposed from birth. Given how spice causes very aggressive behavior, it’d also not be a stretch to see how their society would become so rough. Alien biology/anthropology is a fascinatin topic. I wish alien species in shows like Star Wars fleshed out the details more. Like the Tongrutas.
Well, I guess the Pykes in this episode weren't high on the really strong stuff, since otherwise, they would have sliced that dude's head off instead of just his horn. Although, always being high, probably explains why their leaders are so quick to get in on the action. They aren't brave, there just so high off their asses that they don't give a damn or can't register the danger. LOL.
🎶 I was gonna kill that dude until I got high🎶 🎶I was gonna chop his head off but then I got high🎶 🎶Now all I got is his horn and I know why, why baybe yeah🎶 🎶'Cause I got high, because I got high, because I got high🎶

I think the pykes would make an interesting main villain in star wars media. Hopefully the book of boba fett will give us insights into the crimelords of SW
Given their success, I wonder if the Pykes use of Spice at the highest levels was more of a PR stunt than an actual habit. Like you said, their open and unabashed use of Spice forced everyone who dealt with them to assume the Pykes could be unpredictable and randomly dangerous... that's a good reputation to have if you don't want some clever rival to think they know what's up and can play your weaknesses. I'd go so far as to say that using Spice in front of the Jedi was a planned move to spread their "unpredictable" reputation and keep the Republic from taking their support for granted. It wouldn't terribly surprise me if later on we discover that the Spice used by Pyke leaders was either heavily diluted or that they've built up a tolerance to it over the years, meaning most of their "randomness" is actually just an act.
I remember reading the Lando Calrissian book where 'Glitterstim' was introduced, and always wondered if it was considered 'canon' or not. Reason being, generic 'psychic powers' didn't seem to exist in the Star Wars Universe except for the force, so did Glitterstim grant its user 'Force Awareness' for a limited time?
I could imagine some of the Pyke leaders were like Tuco Salamanca from The first season of Breaking Bad. Does a hit of spice while laughing hysterically and then just starts beating on some poor smuggler
This episode was great pykes are so cool and deadly I mean man they are badasses like they said you in your entire family will know what pain truly feels like
Lom Pyke gets high off his own supply while talking to the Federales of the Star Wars galaxy. That's both funny and inspiring at the same time. Most folks could only wish they'd have that kind of clout.
Jedi and Sith: we have the force Clones: We have our training and squad mates. Hutts: Chumbawamba mongo nipple Pykes: SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE COCAAAAAAAAAAAAAINE!
I like how the Pykes looked in this episode. They are here to do what they do best and that is to get what they wanted as a crime syndicate like the Hutts and the Black Sun. By the time of the fall of First order in the canon after the Rise of Skywalker, they might emerged as a political entity even along with the Hutts, the Black Sun, the Banking Clan, the Corporate Alliance and the Commerce Guild.
I like the episode, I see people getting upset that it wasn't a big plot episode, but if all you care about is the plot and not the actual characters then I advise you to rewatch with new intention
You may wonder, how do Pykes keep their men loyal? How does a criminal syndicate work so well and not fall apart to corruption? Well, if every single Pyke is constantly high on an extremely addictive substance, and they're also the only syndicate out there that really controls that substance... You've suddenly got an army of fiercely loyal spice addicts that will do ANYTHING because otherwise, say goodbye to your supply.
My personal head canon is that the Pykes were one of the earliest life forms in the Star Wars galaxy to evolve and develop advanced intelligence. They are basically the Canon version of the Rakatas, herding around the less technology-advanced species like slaves. Eventually there was an uprising and they fell from power, except unlike the Rakatas, they did not go extinct. They are basically hyper-intelligent dinosaurs, in the sense they have existed in their present state for millions of years. Even though they have lost much of their original power as an overwhelming fraction of their population was wiped out in the slave rebellion, their high intelligence and fighting instincts granted to them by primordial genes make them quite a frightening presence indeed. Even in the present day, we can see they still enslave other species unfortunate enough to be in their power, secretly planning to perhaps clone their species so they can rule the galaxy once again…
The Pykes seem to subscribe to the philosophy of not asking your crew to do anything you wouldn't do yourself. Being constantly high and therefore free of inhibitions however, there is very little you would not do.
Thing about filler episodes in any project Filoni has some control of, is that they always set up something important for later. Might not be this season, might not be the next, might not even be this series. Somethings from this episode will be important later and without this episode they wont make sense.
Hell, even Mart fucking Mattin from that episode of Rebels everyone despised had a huge role to play in the series finale (aiding Ezra in his plan to send the Imperial 7th Fleet off into the Unknown Regions)
@@goodmind4940 I think it looked good to be honest I could tell that they were pykes and I thought the design team did really well, also practical effects on set help actors act better, if you can touch and see what you are acting with it makes it much easier specially with alien creatures because you can act with the right amount of worry if they are physically imposing.
“Pykes are the Syndicate, a species, and a family.” Soooo, are they like Cheetahs where they had a severe genetic bottleneck at some point in their history and they need to Game of Thrones each other to assure the next generation? I mean, that WOULD explain why they all look nearly identical.
they were feard because they were high out of their minds high equals crazy/semi unpredictable and they didn't worry about their own stabbing each other in the back and they did their own dirty work that's why they were feard by all also just imagine this in real life a bunch of drug lords walking around with white powder under their noses and hands no sure it wouldn't work out as well for them probably cuz spice doesn't mess you up as much spice is love spice is live
In the early years, the Hutts did handle things themselves but over time did less and less. As the Hutts became wealthy through their enterprises, they could hire those to do their dirty work for them.
I love the pike cartel as they are able to control entire system economics and influence planetary scale operations, this makes them as close to real gangsters as possible.
Some startup gangster threatening a Pyke member: I'll cut you up like a fish for even looking at me! The Pyke: (Takes another hit) Son, are you sure that's the wisest course to take? Startup gangster: What can one Pyke do? The startup gangster was later found in a local asteroid field
Thing is that the Pykes don't like to cause unnecesary trouble, they will tell you to fix your mistake but that is more of a threat than anything else, it is not mercy it is a threat, because if you fail you won't be able to hide from them, they willget you and if they don't kill you they are going to make you wish they had. Any crime syndicate needs to avoid trouble when possible, and the only time that it is worth it to cause trouble is if their accounts are not as they should be due to your fault, if you get them their spice back they will call it even since they got what they wanted, and it is not really a problem so long as you didn't try to pocket any yourself.
It helps me by pretending the Pykes on Kessel in Solo were just underlings, dressed in headgear to survive on the rock but their uniform had to LOOK like the species if they weren’t of the family or species themselves to stay, well, uniform. So you know where their threats came from.
Especially this is a point of contention now that the Pykes are more prominent in the last season of CW and now Bad Batch (I’ve watched every SW property, even the kids stuff please don’t come after me lol).
A youtuber who was locked up: "One of our guys had been using non-stop and didn't sleep for a week. That night, we heard him making a weapon". It all ended well, but imagine that guy's mental state.
That Devoranian guy was so lucky the Pykes decided to just hack off his horn. They likely would normally have cut off a larger part of him at the neck, before sending it to his family... The lead Pyke enforcer was likely being kind in that last episode.

Let’s also credit the voice actor (Liam O’Brien) for absolutely nailing the character and instilling fear by just talking
"You know, I'm something of a spice dealer myself"
1:01 I been forever since you've used that image for your intro.
I know right
Geestly: eh the pikes are the pike syndicate which was made by the pike family. Literally anyone else: space mafia
I thought "Don't get high from your own product" was Drug Lord 101...
They are some of my favorite looking aliens in the entire Star wars universe they look so cool
Nothing an Imperial version of a buster call can’t fix.
A youtuber who was locked up: "One of our guys had been using non-stop and didn't sleep for a week. That night, we heard him making a weapon". It all ended well, but imagine that guy's mental state.
If a pyke is high and dies at least he went out high and hopefully having a good time .
So basically they are the Mexican Cartel version of the freman of Dune
Glad to see I wasn't the only one that hated the Martez sisters. . .
That Devoranian guy was so lucky the Pykes decided to just hack off his horn. They likely would normally have cut off a larger part of him at the neck, before sending it to his family...
The lead Pyke enforcer was likely being kind in that last episode.
It was quite refreshing to see the pikes they usually a underused positive the lore
So is the horn guy in the new episode the same as the one in rebels? They got different names but have the same horn cut off.
I was wondering the same thing
I mean, has to be right? Same species, same horn cut, same creator.
First rule of drug dealing don't get high on your supply
Pykes: yeah that's going to be a no from me dawg
Pyke: What's my secret ? I'm always high..
Yes I am glad that the Pykes are back (again)
Much like honey badgers, the Pykes don’t give a shit
Every Sci-Fi show has to have it space cocaine episode
“Everything we could have asked for” to be honest no… it was more of a filler BUT it was a good episode
