    This reminds me of the H P Lovecraft Cuthulu Mythos I am recently learning about. True Star Wars is very different than
    1) Less hopelessness because Evil Outer Galaxy Aliens seem less Scary that the Outer Gods and Old Ones who exist in Outer Space and have no concern for human life and leads only to madness
    2) Multiple Humanoid Races that are not all terrifying monsters
    3) The Part About Space Travel
    4) The Fact the Galaxy and Planets have an organized Government and Economies
    5) The Light VS Dark Side of the Force
    6) An order of Good Guy Heroes (The Jedi)
    But having places dangerous mysterious places no one understands with unknown Dimensions, Sub Dimensions, and Powerful Evil Beings beyond current understanding sounds like Love Craft.

However I just wanted to add - Supernatural Encounters actually IS licensed Legends canon!

      @shadowblade145 4 роки тому +14

      It's actually kind of perfect if you think about it (though I agree, axing so much lore all at once was a bad idea). Legends are generally tales told with some embellishment for dramatic effect - but there's almost always some truth to it. This allowed Disney to say "yes, it was true, but xyz was different". They essentially get to pick and choose the best parts of legends to become part of the broader story and discard some of the crazier stuff (there was... A lot lol).
      What they *actually* should have done is put Dave Filoni and Jon Favreau in charge of lore in the first place.

      @@shadowblade145 When people say things like this, I wonder what the wilder elements they think should be discarded are, because a lot of the wilder stuff is actually some of the things George was more heavily involved in (like some of the earlier Marvel comics, Dark Empire, Tales of the Jedi, and several multimedia projects). There's others, sure, but some of the wildest stuff is in those early marvel comics or the early Droids and Ewoks series, which are actually referenced in Canon media. With all the crazy things Star Wars started out with, I don't think anything should be discarded for being too "weird." If you think maybe some later works should either be discarded or reworked because some people are kind of the opposite of team players (see: the Denningverse), I agree.

There are the Magellenic Clouds, which are not galaxies, and they're closer, as well as the Oort Cloud (real fuzzy on that one, don't remember exactly), and numerable star clusters (with MILLIONS of stars) that orbit our galaxy.

      Interdictor as it can be used to pirate and pull ships out of hyperspace or as a smuggling ship kinda also to pull your own ships out at a specific spot to the planet bypassing blockades and or pulling them out under cover of a moon or asteroid to also bypass security. Or anything with a large hangar.

      I'd say Lucrehulks. They're freaking massive, but their cargo space is huge, and they were built to be quickly and easily (For a space ship the size of a baseball stadium) modified for all out warfare. Just a couple months in dock and a well organized criminal syndicate could turn an entirely legal and defenseless Lucrehulk freighter into a genuine force to be reckoned with.

    • @JustinTK416
      @JustinTK416 5 років тому +6

      I feel like Star Wars has fallen to about the state of Marvel in terms of canon, but without an expressed multiverse to allow them to just have different iterations of cannon to exist harmoniously.
      I mean, even before the buy out, there were a lot of retcons (I mean, Boba Fett was originally a Mandalorian cop in a novel I forget the name of), and now the majority of the prior canon has been dubbed “Legends” and tossed aside.
      Well, the way I see it, everything is legends, because every author, writer, and director that has made Star Wars content has their own mental image of what the universe is like when they write their story, and minute details, or more esoteric lore elements are often sidelined for the sake of the story they’re trying to tell. So naturally, we tend to just pick our favorite stories and say that they’re the real canon, and everything that doesn’t agree with them is either new tacked on crap, or was rightfully retconned to allow a better iteration of the lore to come about.
      Hell, my personal interpretation of the lore basically involves the whole universe as being a Matrix-esque simulation, with the force being a chaotic aspect of the design intended to ensure turmoil persists. All the while some group of meta-dimensional beings try to fulfill some unknowable goal that could decide the fate of an incomprehensibly expansive omniverse.

    • @henrik6739
      @henrik6739 5 років тому +1

      Some Legends stuff was GREAT, some was bulls**t. People complain about the prequels' politics "it doesn't fit into star wars ", but what about those crazy stories about green bunnies, extra-galactic orks and hyperspace ghosts, THAT doesn't fit into Star Wars imo...
      Though, in the end, anyone can say for himself what's Canon and what's not. If you want to, you can even say, Luke Skywalker isn't Canon, but Batman is!
      But I'm personally happy about the "retcon" , even though it deleted KotOR...😢

    • @JustinTK416
      @JustinTK416 5 років тому +3

      CXVII 117 R As someone who knows as much Legends lore as they do Disney lore, both have some bs. The difference is that Legends gets it from having been around so long and having so much tacked onto it that it collapses in on itself. Disney, on the other hand, seems like they just want everything they make to be canon, but the thing is, there’s just so much difference in tone and target audience that the canon is just kinda seems patchwork and arbitrary.

    • @JustinTK416
      @JustinTK416 5 років тому +6

      henrik673 I always thought the hyperspace ghosts and other kinda creepy stuff is what made legends awesome. It showed that the Force wasn’t the only poorly understood, kind of supernatural phenomenon in the galaxy. And the creepy factor gave an ominous edge to the universe that really made it feel alive. Like yeah, it’s got some cool shit like force powers and advanced technology, but ya also get scary ass inter dimensional shit and the galactic underworld.
      ‘Course, the stuff like the green bunnies and whatnot was just kinda weird. Like, I can kinda get behind because I like a little weirdness, but to each their own.

      My guess is that most of these are offshoots of humans (Or an even older species.) which adapted and mutated differently in their new home planets. (This is flat out confirmed to be the case between Chiss and humans in legends.)
      Out of universe, is because they're easy to design, animate, and/or make costumes and makeup for than an original new concept species.

    Good information. The idea that the Celestials created the hyperspace anomaly is pretty much accepted by the fandom I've spoken to. However, it begs the question, Why? Logically, it can only serve two purposes: 1) to keep galactic inhabitants in, or, 2) to keep others out. The latter implies there is something bent on conquest and destruction. Certainly the Vong fit that profile. However, I suspect there might be something even more terrible than they, perhaps even something which challenged the power of the Celestials themselves. That would be something worthy of a great story.
