Hey Eck, do you think that Abeloth will eventually be put into the canon at some point and form? The whole concept of Abeloth came from the missing mother figure from the Mortis Gods from Star Wars the Clone Wars. Some people really didn't like her due to being overpowered, but I think she could be reimagined as a split personality. One loving side and one destructive side, being a chaotic neutral much like the Father is a lawful neutral.
@@harrisonlee9585 the horrors in 40k don't lurk in the fringes though, they jump in your face and scream "BLEAH!" while waving ridiculously oversized weapons. Lovecraftian horror is about creeping dread, 40K doesn't do subtle anything certainly not horror.
"During the Yuuzhan Vong War, many Jedi children were hidden in a shelter in the Maw. There, Abeloth touched them-" *I don't like where this is going.* "-through the Force.* *...I still don't like where this is going.*
The EU had a lot of awful content. I never liked the Vong. An advanced race that hated machines and were alive but were empty of the force? Makes no sense.
Abeloth - The cosmic horror of the galaxy and the mother of the Ones. Darth Nihilus - The production of the horrors of war produced by the force becoming the very hunger for life itself. Emperor Visiate - The Immortal Sith Lord who wished to become god himself. Plaugus - The wise Sith Lord of knowledge who wished to be Immortal.

@@am-c3805 I like the Sith Empire in Swtor but I hate what they did to Revan. Why not just make the Sith Empire invade the Republic 10 years after Kotor 2 so that way Kotor 3 can still happen where Revan's life isn't completely ruined where he can still meet Bastila and the stakes are higher now because the Republic has just recovered from the Jedi Civil War and also the new Jedi order has been formed that would have made the perfect opportunity for Kotor 3.
@High Lord Baron you're comparing current lore which has existed for like 4 years to 40 years worth of old establish lore, be patient and give it time. We've already gotten pretty stellar stories from the comics and Rebels was great despite its flaws. There's plenty of people out there eager to add their own spin to star wars and with enough time, Disney canon no doubt will equal old EU. Just gotta be patient.
@@rhymenoceros3303 rebels was awful. Utterly woeful. I'm sorry, if you like it that's great for you, but I can't objectively say it's any sorry of quality work, even putting aside my own bias.
@@TheLH86 Well you're entitled to not like it but I would never call it awful. It did justice to established characters like Maul, Vader, Tarkin, and Thrawn. Vader and Ashoka's duel is one of the greatest duels in all of star wars. Mauls end was suitably tragic. Kallus's redemption arc was believable. Rex got his time to shine. Kanan's arc and death were beautifully executed. The soundtrack especially later on stood out beautifully. You can argue that it was pretty kiddie at times especially early on but it's still at the end of the day was aimed more at kids then adults and the kiddie stuff didn't detract all that much from the series, at least for me but I can see how others my be turned off by the tone. The animation while no where near as good as Clone Wars didn't detract from the series. My only real complaints for the show was that I wish that some of the later battles had been larger scale but given the budget constraints I understand why they'd feel less 'epic' then Clone Wars battles. Also I feel the Death Troopers weren't well utilized in the final season. Like I get they were trying to show that the main characters were tough enough to take on Death Troopers but they didn't need to make them such pushovers either. Other then that I enjoyed the show and really hope to see what Thrawn is up to in the future and whether he gets along with Ezra or not.
@@rhymenoceros3303 Vaders duel with his former apprentice? Yes, great. Thrawn? The greatest strategic mind in the galaxy, who brought the Republic to it's knees with a fraction of its power, the mastermind who used the Empire and the emperor for his own ends, and even had the balls and wit to see Vader was anakin, and even baited him over it, and he was defeated repeatedly by this motly crew of literal misfits? Also, the rebel characters were fairly poorly written for the most part. I'll enjoy a lot of star wars content even if it's not top shelf just because it's one of my favourite universes. I just can't get behind rebels. Clone wars is good and my love for the universe allows me to overcome its flaws. Rebels, I just can't do the same.

Don't hold your breath. Disney doesn't have the imagination nor the spine to do anything original or unique or interesting with SW. They seem to only be focused on re-hashing everything that has been done before and ripping off bits and pieces of Legends because they know no one likes their version. If they do, I imagine it will be something watered down and hammy by comparison.
@@Section8Spectre I'll stick to my half glass full outlook thank you very much. Not to mention Disney's already done some pretty dark stuff already. Everything with Vader in the comics. They brought back the zombie stormtroopers. Lord Momins body possessing mask was also deeply disturbing especially with that one hallucination he gave Vader with young Anakins face forcibly melded with his mask.
@@rhymenoceros3303 again, all be done before in Legends to a greater and far better degree by the geniuses at both Dark Horse comics and in the novels. Just taking what has already been widely accepted by the fan base in Legends and pulling what they like from it to get fans excited. Don't forget how quick they were to throw the EU away and say it meant nothing and fire everyone at Lucas Arts, but wait, when they realize that no one likes Disney presents Star Wars, they have to go back to the material the true fans love to dust it off and roll it out to try and appease the fans. No sense arguing about it because Disney has already ruined this franchise, and anyone who is onboard with their direction is not a fan at all.
@@Section8Spectre Oh no the whole "ruined" the franchise argument again. You know I was there when they claimed that the Prequel Trilogy "ruined" the franchise and now look at how fondly those films are looked at these days. Your argument about them pulling stuff from old EU, just to get fans excited is a deeply cynical one and baffling. People want to see stuff from the old EU return, so how is it a bad thing when they do? And you have to understand that Disney didn't want to be shackled by 40 years of lore that may I add was cherry picked by Lucas himself on what was canon and what was not. They have every right to go in whatever direction they want, they own the franchise. Have they done the best job of things? Arguably no but they've only had the license for four years now and they have added a number of worthwhile things to the franchise so far. Battle of Scariff. All of the stuff in the Vader comics. A better emphasis on how the Light and Dark side are not inherently good or bad. Sure it still pales in comparison to old EU but that's a given when your comparing 4 years of lore to 40 years of lore, much of which was made by a variety of teams and writers. So its ok to not be a particular fan of the current state of Star Wars but that doesn't justify berating others for having faith that they'll get their act together eventually. And don't go acting like Legends was some great work of god or something. I miss it too but it wasn't at all perfect. Best not to let nostalgia and cynicism blind you buddy. At the end of the day though, whining about it and calling others "not true fans" isn't going to change anything. If you want Disney to do better, tell them that, show them that. The boycott of Solo was the right direction (even if the film itself was actually pretty good) it got Disney to step back and reevaluate their strategy. But don't go around acting holier then though or like you know better. Be civil and present your arguments like an adult and not a petulant child.
It’s scary knowing that the Empire built a Prison Colony around The Maw where Abeloth herself resides. I wonder if any of the Rebel POWs there sensed Abeloth’s presence before Rogue Squadron busted them out. I mean it would probably feel like living in an Underwater Colony with a Megalodon Shark living right outside the walls.
That's what ruined it for me. Why is the mother of the Mortis God's an unnatural horrible monster whose power is stolen. It sounds like an exaggeration by the father about his bitch of an ex-wife.
She was kind of wasted idea in my opinion. An Eldritch abomination with no star wars spin or twist. That's the issue with a lot of the old EU. It's X thing threw up on star wars. Example: The Yuzzhan Vong= Warhammer 40k threw up on while having sex with Star Wars. They're there cause people were bored of killing imps and wanted something new to shoot.
Something interesting about the Centerpoint station and Corellian system... Each planet of the Corellian system had smaler version of Centerpoint's "repulsor beam"... maybe those were part of the system to keep Abeloth locked, too...
#AskEck Has there ever been a time when the Sith, during the Rule of Two era, were in danger of extinction by accident? Such as a Dark Lord falling down the stairs or choking on a piece of food.
This is an excellent question. There's a rumor saying Vader almost choked himself and his master in a BDSM session to death. But Rogue One interrupted them. That's why Vader was so angry much of the time. He didn't like interruptions.

Then you maybe say, well Im a god, I just erase all bad things for them and constabtly do their bidding. Then they start to forget you. Religion and the concept of god is starting to seem like a stupid fairytale and you just stand there and dont know what to do.

I am looking forward to this series. Before the release of The Mandalorian on Disney+, I would love to see a series of videos on Legends Mandalorians compared to canon Mandalorians.
Cansifer no was the republic as they saw people like Jawas and other species as “lower species” infact the republic was actually extremely racist as dozens of planets believed that aliens were to blame for their shitty lives. And the empire actually made laws against racism against aliens. I’m telling you that they were strict and terrifying but they kept order
People really just like the idea of Grey Jedi because it introduces a third option to a scenario where you’re given the choice of A) be a celibate lawful monk who shuns emotions and relationships, or B) be a sociopathic masochist who believes suffering is the key to ultimate power. Plus, there’s a misconception that Grey Jedi are basically the best of both worlds in terms of powers, and you also just get to be a chill badass with a lightsaber. (Truthfully, I don’t know what defines the Gray Jedi officially, or even if such a classification properly exists in Legends of Disney canon. I just know what a lot of people want Grey Jedi to be, and that’s something that let’s them more easily insert their head canon (likely Mary Sue) OC into the lore and have them fit in somewhere.)
Justin Stimson honestly? I found her power levels to be ludicrously narmy. I don't know why, but I honestly found the T'landa Til "priests" from the Han Solo Trilogy to be scarier. Maybe the connotations of a cult getting its worshippers addicted to something (the pleasure waves they used as a mating call) before selling them into prostitution or slave labor was what bothered me, but something about them just always made me squirm.
@@Sunsaparilla de nada. The whole trilogy is worth the read, but The Paradise Snare is the novel that involves the T'landa Til the most. Still, the whole thing is a great look at Han Solo's pre-Rebellion days, so enjoy it.
I do love those books. Sad so many supporting characters from it (and Dark Empire) are likely to return - like Shug, Shalla, Mako, Xaverri. Maybe Rik Duel? They are doing a Marvel characters revival after all...
Awesome, we got an Abeloth video😆 I too wondered why theres so few drawings/images of her...did draw a small chibie drawing of her based from the comic cuz it look cute in a way but her form really is terrefying
Thank god someone is making a video series on Abeloth finally! The other videos on Abeloth around youtube are either too short and leave you wanting more or just not of quality.
Remember that Jacen Solo’s flow walking and tampering with time was a crucial component to Abeloth’s escape. The stations repaired and adjusted her prison, but altering the flow of the Force is what’s said to release her.
First of all, love your intro including the music of HOME, Resonance is an amazing song. Secondly, your videos explaining big parts of the once-canon EU of Star Wars kinda creeps me out and I love it, baffles me that this stuff used to be canon, a part of me hopes that it’ll make its way to the current canon one day.
I’m working on an Abeloth cosplay for the same reason... lack of imagery for her... my first attempt at prosthetics went well so I’m excited. Thanks for Doing the video! Her character is so underrated it’s insane she was a beast!
It is absolutely frightening to know how close to Abeloth the Empire and Rebels were all throughout the entire Galactic Civil War and yet miraculously, did not come across her till after the War...
In my Star Wars rpg campaign, the players recently released Abeloth without realizing what they were doing. The entity is different in my games, as I got rid of the 'pool of knowledge' shit because I thought it was silly, and instead it's just an ancient evil looking to spread Chaos in the Star Wars galaxy (Actually, you'd know the reference, I'm doing a crossover with 40K and in my version Abeloth is actually Malal).
I feel like Abeloth was the writers having to make an even bigger and badder adversary because they didn't know how to make a better climax after the Yuuzhan Vong Invasion and Jaicen falling to the dark side.
i wish people would explore more towards the vast open ness of the star wars universe, focus more in its worlds, races, culture and its folk lore, imagine an open world game/movie instead of focusing the light vs dark side or rebellion vs the empire cliche story line, i want it to focus more on this lovecraftian esque story, or going on an adventure into a vast alien world.
I'd like a video on Abeloth's weird force graveyard, and about Jacen's vision beyond shadows. It was weird hearing that Jacen's fall was motivated by his visions of the Throne of Balance, whereas Legacy showed him as falling because he say future visions of himself killing Luke
#askeck Can you do the Gray Paladins from coruscant nights? They're a Jedi faction that used blasters and other weapons one was so good that she was able to send one of her own bolts straight up an enemy's blaster barrel. They also believed in using the force as little as possible so they focused on other skills like martial arts and military tactics like guerrilla warfare, urban tactics, espionage, and infiltration.
This is the kind of stuff we need Star Wars movies to be about. Screw Rays origins I want to watch a coalition of sith and Jedi take on an eldritch horror.
Hey Ecks, I wanted to thank you for your amazing Videos i can come back whenever i feel down. You make amazing Videos and always manage to brighten my day. You are one of the best Content-Creators ive ever met on UA-cam. So thank you for your Work.
Always felt Abeloth could be brought back into Canon as a counterpart to the Bendu, being more chaos orientated. Could be an excuse to redo the Vong again as his fucked up followers
I love that you use footage of Malgus for your videos, you should really do a lore video on him if you haven't already. The guy has an interesting arc.
I tell you what, picking up Fate of The Jedi as my first Star Wars EU book series, in tandem with the X-wing series, though starting with Wraith Squadron and reading Aaron Allston's books before Stackpoles, and then piecing together the Yuzhan Vong series by searching for the books in different libraries was an awesome introduction to the Star Wars EU. Lots of mystery and piecing the story together, which just made it fun.
Abeloth is an amazing character with a great story. I so wish she and the books were still canon. These books showed Luke a a very strong Jedi with heart, never backing down or running to hide. The new Star Wars makes me cry with how weak they have made the main characters.
God those books were incredible..what a great time I had with those series. Legacy and Fate of the Jedi were some of the greatest SW novels ever written.
I liked NJO a little better, but there was still lots of good stuff going on. I may... never fully get over the WTF ending of Invincible though (Daala = chief of state? whaa...) no other candidates, clearly...
chris sonofpear1 ya dude me too! I was like really!? Have they not forgotten the atrocities she’s responsible for and her crusade against the Jedi? I never forgave her and always hated her, and then her actions against the Jedi and use of the mandalorians sent me over the edge. In the end they got her out of office thank god
Yeah, that was... odd. Annoyed people on the Jedi Council forums too, no end. You'd think the Mon Cal would be VERY alarmed. And there was that senator G'sil, for one, right there...
I officially need to see Abeloth animated somewhere or at the very least, a cameo or something, even a moment. I know Disney probably won't do it because they're super hesitant with something THIS scary, especially given the shit they'll know they'll probably get if they fuck it up, but goddamn, she would make for a more effective villain/storyline than anything we got in the sequels.
You need to build a playlist of this cuz I plan on making an art piece about this but it's very hard to find references and you are very good source of it
I want to see more on her life and the force artifacts from before she became Abeloth. What makes these things so terribly dangerous as to create such a powerful and far reaching presence.
@@somen0body417 In theory, you could **temporarily** kill a chaos God by killing all their mortal worshippers. Even then, it would only take ONE chaos cult to rediscover the lore, start worshipping, and thus resurrect them.
@@nietname2468 Which is why I say "In theory". In practice, yes it is quite impossible. However, if you *somehow* convinced every sentient being to not kill in his name, Khorne would shrivel up and disappear. Killing the chaos gods by cutting off all worship of them was part of the Emperor's plan.
In the short time that I have known about this obscured character, Abeloth The Bringer Of Chaos or The Queen Of The Stars (as she is also known as) is my favorite character in the Star Wars Univers right now. And I wish that that she would be canonized in the future. I would to see an actual story about her.

They seem to only be focused on re-hashing everything that has been done before and ripping off bits and pieces of Legends because they know no one likes their version. If they do, I imagine it will be something watered down and hammy by comparison.
@@Section8Spectre I'll stick to my half glass full outlook thank you very much. Not to mention Disney's already done some pretty dark stuff already. Everything with Vader in the comics. They brought back the zombie stormtroopers. Lord Momins body possessing mask was also deeply disturbing especially with that one hallucination he gave Vader with young Anakins face forcibly melded with his mask.
@@rhymenoceros3303 again, all be done before in Legends to a greater and far better degree by the geniuses at both Dark Horse comics and in the novels. Just taking what has already been widely accepted by the fan base in Legends and pulling what they like from it to get fans excited. Don't forget how quick they were to throw the EU away and say it meant nothing and fire everyone at Lucas Arts, but wait, when they realize that no one likes Disney presents Star Wars, they have to go back to the material the true fans love to dust it off and roll it out to try and appease the fans. No sense arguing about it because Disney has already ruined this franchise, and anyone who is onboard with their direction is not a fan at all.
@@Section8Spectre Oh no the whole "ruined" the franchise argument again. You know I was there when they claimed that the Prequel Trilogy "ruined" the franchise and now look at how fondly those films are looked at these days. Your argument about them pulling stuff from old EU, just to get fans excited is a deeply cynical one and baffling. People want to see stuff from the old EU return, so how is it a bad thing when they do? And you have to understand that Disney didn't want to be shackled by 40 years of lore that may I add was cherry picked by Lucas himself on what was canon and what was not. They have every right to go in whatever direction they want, they own the franchise. Have they done the best job of things? Arguably no but they've only had the license for four years now and they have added a number of worthwhile things to the franchise so far. Battle of Scariff. All of the stuff in the Vader comics. A better emphasis on how the Light and Dark side are not inherently good or bad. Sure it still pales in comparison to old EU but that's a given when your comparing 4 years of lore to 40 years of lore, much of which was made by a variety of teams and writers. So its ok to not be a particular fan of the current state of Star Wars but that doesn't justify berating others for having faith that they'll get their act together eventually. And don't go acting like Legends was some great work of god or something. I miss it too but it wasn't at all perfect. Best not to let nostalgia and cynicism blind you buddy. At the end of the day though, whining about it and calling others "not true fans" isn't going to change anything. If you want Disney to do better, tell them that, show them that. The boycott of Solo was the right direction (even if the film itself was actually pretty good) it got Disney to step back and reevaluate their strategy. But don't go around acting holier then though or like you know better. Be civil and present your arguments like an adult and not a petulant child.
It’s scary knowing that the Empire built a Prison Colony around The Maw where Abeloth herself resides. I wonder if any of the Rebel POWs there sensed Abeloth’s presence before Rogue Squadron busted them out. I mean it would probably feel like living in an Underwater Colony with a Megalodon Shark living right outside the walls.
More like Cthulhu living outside the walls
Well there's movie for both of those speculations
The real question is: Does she have the high ground?
She is the high ground
@@mandolorian162 =0 the high ground with tentacles is a thing to be feared
Unless that's someone's thing. Own that ish
She is the all the ground
A series of films with Abeloth would be magical
And terrifying
Too terrifying for Disney. They might have to share rights with Lion's Gate, on this one.
@DEEPFOXJUDE I think it depends on who theyd get to play her but I see your point
And would give luke more fame but the problem is milt has gotten older

"The empire was evil.
The sith are evil.

Abeloth has always been cool to me. This eldritch horror freed from the Mortis gods' chains and bent on chaos.
That's what ruined it for me. Why is the mother of the Mortis God's an unnatural horrible monster whose power is stolen. It sounds like an exaggeration by the father about his bitch of an ex-wife.
Abeloth is honestly my favourite thing about legends, I always found the idea of her intriguing
She was kind of wasted idea in my opinion. An Eldritch abomination with no star wars spin or twist. That's the issue with a lot of the old EU. It's X thing threw up on star wars. Example: The Yuzzhan Vong= Warhammer 40k threw up on while having sex with Star Wars. They're there cause people were bored of killing imps and wanted something new to shoot.
@@slyfer60 All it takes is a damn good writer with a clear gasp of the overarching workings of the Star Wars universe to make it work!
Something interesting about the Centerpoint station and Corellian system...
Each planet of the Corellian system had smaler version of Centerpoint's "repulsor beam"... maybe those were part of the system to keep Abeloth locked, too...
“Okay youngling, show me where Mrs. Abeloth touched you.”
I'm so glad she got married. Its tragic seeing so many eldritch horrors today not being in a legally-binding committed marriage.
Oh god
That scene in It (2017) where pennywise opened his mouth really wide made me think of Abeloth
#AskEck Has there ever been a time when the Sith, during the Rule of Two era, were in danger of extinction by accident? Such as a Dark Lord falling down the stairs or choking on a piece of food.
This is an excellent question. There's a rumor saying Vader almost choked himself and his master in a BDSM session to death. But Rogue One interrupted them. That's why Vader was so angry much of the time. He didn't like interruptions.

And you think your new suspects would accept you? At first yes, but then they will blame you for every bad thing that happens to them.
Then you maybe say, well Im a god, I just erase all bad things for them and constabtly do their bidding.
Then they start to forget you. Religion and the concept of god is starting to seem like a stupid fairytale and you just stand there and dont know what to do. Will you still work your ass off so that they dont have to suffer anything but get no praise and instead everyone makes fun of you? Or will you only help those that believe in you and get called a tyrant by the rest?
Or will you help no one and by that proving them right that you dont exist?
Humans are ungrateful little shitheads.
I am looking forward to this series. Before the release of The Mandalorian on Disney+, I would love to see a series of videos on Legends Mandalorians compared to canon Mandalorians.
which era of mandalorians.
stefan lunsmann the whole history of them legends vs canon
I still can’t describe how scary the concept of just the Maw is and abeloth
"The empire was evil"
From MY perspective the GALACTIC REPUBLIC was evil
Yeah, but the empire are just space racists sooo...
Cansifer no was the republic as they saw people like Jawas and other species as “lower species” infact the republic was actually extremely racist as dozens of planets believed that aliens were to blame for their shitty lives. And the empire actually made laws against racism against aliens. I’m telling you that they were strict and terrifying but they kept order
Then you are lost!
If you worry about racism you should probably investigate brainwashing and propaganda... you're a victim.
This should have been the sequel trilogy main antagonist not Snoke or rehash Palpatine.
Naw, should've been the Vong.
Then Kylo.
THEN abeloth.
Disney ruined it all!
They should make one last trilogy in which shes the main antagonist
I've heard of Abeloth before and she creeped me out and the art I can find I love. I'd love for stuff about her in canon.
I would love to see more art for Abeloth! She looks very terrifying, and her strength is no joke. The idea of her is nearly Lovecraftian
Eck: "--- The Sith is *evil* "

@Wolf Alpha 900 I don't know much about the grey jedi. What did they do?
@Wolf Alpha 900 sounds gay
Sith: Forced us to kill friends by using some sorta brain deal implanted before our birth.
Seems evil to me.
People really just like the idea of Grey Jedi because it introduces a third option to a scenario where you’re given the choice of A) be a celibate lawful monk who shuns emotions and relationships, or B) be a sociopathic masochist who believes suffering is the key to ultimate power.
Plus, there’s a misconception that Grey Jedi are basically the best of both worlds in terms of powers, and you also just get to be a chill badass with a lightsaber. (Truthfully, I don’t know what defines the Gray Jedi officially, or even if such a classification properly exists in Legends of Disney canon. I just know what a lot of people want Grey Jedi to be, and that’s something that let’s them more easily insert their head canon (likely Mary Sue) OC into the lore and have them fit in somewhere.)
@Stannis Baratheon ahsoka became a grey jedi in rebels and she kicked the inquisitors ass, she also fought vader. She lost to vader tho.
Watch out for space-tentacles is probably the best advice I’ve ever had
I've watched enough hentai to know where this is going
Lately, Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni have been integrating a lot of legends lore into their shows on D+. I hope Abeloth makes it in somehow one day
I dont see how Disney SW can handle an Abeloth esk character.
This aged like wine
Most intimidating villian in legends.
Also you better keep that dog outro.
Justin Stimson honestly? I found her power levels to be ludicrously narmy. I don't know why, but I honestly found the T'landa Til "priests" from the Han Solo Trilogy to be scarier. Maybe the connotations of a cult getting its worshippers addicted to something (the pleasure waves they used as a mating call) before selling them into prostitution or slave labor was what bothered me, but something about them just always made me squirm.
@@nicholasfarrell5981 interesting. I've never heard of that. I'll have to check it out. Thanks
@@Sunsaparilla de nada. The whole trilogy is worth the read, but The Paradise Snare is the novel that involves the T'landa Til the most. Still, the whole thing is a great look at Han Solo's pre-Rebellion days, so enjoy it.
I do love those books. Sad so many supporting characters from it (and Dark Empire) are likely to return - like Shug, Shalla, Mako, Xaverri.
Maybe Rik Duel? They are doing a Marvel characters revival after all...
Fate of the Jedi had its issues, but I loved Abeloth as an antagonist. Lovecraftian elements played very well in Star Wars lore.
Awesome, we got an Abeloth video😆
I too wondered why theres so few drawings/images of her...did draw a small chibie drawing of her based from the comic cuz it look cute in a way but her form really is terrefying
So, space woman cuthulu?
I can dig it.
Thank god someone is making a video series on Abeloth finally! The other videos on Abeloth around youtube are either too short and leave you wanting more or just not of quality.
Hey eck maybe abeloth couldn't use her powers outside the maw because blackholes suck up forces energy as well as matter and light.
It needs to absorb force energy and the energy outside of the maw was not anywhere near as much as the force energy inside of the maw
Up Next: Hunting the Youngling Toucher
Abeloth: *exists*
Gold Experience Requiem: I’m boutta end this mans whole career
Literally anyone:

Thank god there's a GER comment on this video
That damn stand was just unnecessarily OP
joojoo
*PIANO MUSIC INTENSIFIES*
Remember that Jacen Solo’s flow walking and tampering with time was a crucial component to Abeloth’s escape. The stations repaired and adjusted her prison, but altering the flow of the Force is what’s said to release her.
Some of the greatest stories in the EU are the ones of Abeloth.
First of all, love your intro including the music of HOME, Resonance is an amazing song. Secondly, your videos explaining big parts of the once-canon EU of Star Wars kinda creeps me out and I love it, baffles me that this stuff used to be canon, a part of me hopes that it’ll make its way to the current canon one day.
Thanks for the telling us to watch out for space tentacles
I’m working on an Abeloth cosplay for the same reason... lack of imagery for her... my first attempt at prosthetics went well so I’m excited. Thanks for Doing the video! Her character is so underrated it’s insane she was a beast!
Where is your Abeloth cosplay? 😎
It is absolutely frightening to know how close to Abeloth the Empire and Rebels were all throughout the entire Galactic Civil War and yet miraculously, did not come across her till after the War...
Always heard of Abeloth, but this is only the first time I've ever checked out any videos about her lore.. I want more please Eck!
The Maw has always been one of my favorite things in Star Wars. Not surprised that it was a prison for something.
This is exactly what I've been waiting for!! Please continue talking about Abeloth!!
NICE!! I love a good dose of Star Wars/Space Eldritch Horror/Mystery lore. I love this topics. Good video Eckharts Doge.
Saw another in-depth discussion video about Abeloth. She is now my favorite SW character.

Your head
I am so happy you made this, I wanted to know more on Ableoth
In my Star Wars rpg campaign, the players recently released Abeloth without realizing what they were doing. The entity is different in my games, as I got rid of the 'pool of knowledge' shit because I thought it was silly, and instead it's just an ancient evil looking to spread Chaos in the Star Wars galaxy (Actually, you'd know the reference, I'm doing a crossover with 40K and in my version Abeloth is actually Malal).
I’m subscribed to many of the top star wars explained UA-cam sites and I have to say your videos are by far the best audio and best voice quality.
I feel like Abeloth was the writers having to make an even bigger and badder adversary because they didn't know how to make a better climax after the Yuuzhan Vong Invasion and Jaicen falling to the dark side.
That thumbnail art made me jump when I clicked on the link. It’s the only depiction of Abeloth that actually has done so. Kudos to the artist
i wish people would explore more towards the vast open ness of the star wars universe, focus more in its worlds, races, culture and its folk lore, imagine an open world game/movie instead of focusing the light vs dark side or rebellion vs the empire cliche story line, i want it to focus more on this lovecraftian esque story, or going on an adventure into a vast alien world.
been looking forward to your video on this powerful being cant wait for part 2
I think DnD is gonna have a chat about the use of "Aboleths" lol
Hp lovecraft glaring from the side: OH really?
I'd like a video on Abeloth's weird force graveyard, and about Jacen's vision beyond shadows. It was weird hearing that Jacen's fall was motivated by his visions of the Throne of Balance, whereas Legacy showed him as falling because he say future visions of himself killing Luke
#askeck Can you do the Gray Paladins from coruscant nights? They're a Jedi faction that used blasters and other weapons one was so good that she was able to send one of her own bolts straight up an enemy's blaster barrel. They also believed in using the force as little as possible so they focused on other skills like martial arts and military tactics like guerrilla warfare, urban tactics, espionage, and infiltration.
One of my favorite tales. Wish there was more on the first time she was imprisoned
This is the kind of stuff we need Star Wars movies to be about. Screw Rays origins I want to watch a coalition of sith and Jedi take on an eldritch horror.
THIS! Would have been the perfect Sequel Trilogy! And Palpatine/Sidious would be the avatar puppet!
Hey Ecks,
I wanted to thank you for your amazing Videos i can come back whenever i feel down. You make amazing Videos and always manage to brighten my day. You are one of the best Content-Creators ive ever met on UA-cam.
So thank you for your Work.
She needs to be in canon but the mouse will never do it
I'd pay money to see a good movie about this character!! Out of everythingI've heard in Star wars legends this would be the one I would want to see.
Always felt Abeloth could be brought back into Canon as a counterpart to the Bendu, being more chaos orientated. Could be an excuse to redo the Vong again as his fucked up followers
I love that you use footage of Malgus for your videos, you should really do a lore video on him if you haven't already. The guy has an interesting arc.
Legacy of the Force and Fate of the Jedi were my introduction to the old EU.
Abeloth as the big bad put the rest of Star Wars in such context
I tell you what, picking up Fate of The Jedi as my first Star Wars EU book series, in tandem with the X-wing series, though starting with Wraith Squadron and reading Aaron Allston's books before Stackpoles, and then piecing together the Yuzhan Vong series by searching for the books in different libraries was an awesome introduction to the Star Wars EU. Lots of mystery and piecing the story together, which just made it fun.
We know how terrifying Abeloth is because she transcended the star wars universe and found a way to destroy it from the outside as Kathleen Kennedy.
Abeloth is an amazing character with a great story. I so wish she and the books were still canon. These books showed Luke a a very strong Jedi with heart, never backing down or running to hide. The new Star Wars makes me cry with how weak they have made the main characters.
"nothing contains a more terrible being then the maw" scp foundation: never have I seen such lies before
God those books were incredible..what a great time I had with those series. Legacy and Fate of the Jedi were some of the greatest SW novels ever written.
I liked NJO a little better, but there was still lots of good stuff going on.
I may... never fully get over the WTF ending of Invincible though
(Daala = chief of state? whaa...) no other candidates, clearly...
chris sonofpear1 ya dude me too! I was like really!? Have they not forgotten the atrocities she’s responsible for and her crusade against the Jedi? I never forgave her and always hated her, and then her actions against the Jedi and use of the mandalorians sent me over the edge. In the end they got her out of office thank god
Yeah, that was... odd.
Annoyed people on the Jedi Council forums too, no end.
You'd think the Mon Cal would be VERY alarmed.
And there was that senator G'sil, for one, right there...
Just imagine: a star wars horror movie about this
I officially need to see Abeloth animated somewhere or at the very least, a cameo or something, even a moment. I know Disney probably won't do it because they're super hesitant with something THIS scary, especially given the shit they'll know they'll probably get if they fuck it up, but goddamn, she would make for a more effective villain/storyline than anything we got in the sequels.
To get it right:
STEP #1 - Cast Eva Green as Abeloth!
I would love to know more about Abeloth’s early history
You need to build a playlist of this cuz I plan on making an art piece about this but it's very hard to find references and you are very good source of it

I know this video is about a horrifying Star Wars monster but that face on the thumbnail is hilarious
Ah Abeloth, the closest thing in Star Wars to Chaos from 40K.
I want to see more on her life and the force artifacts from before she became Abeloth. What makes these things so terribly dangerous as to create such a powerful and far reaching presence.
I loved this book series.
YAY I finally get to know more about this creature.

Abeloth... basically a SW version of W40k Chaos God, Demon Prince or C'tan...
Yes but massively scaled down. It is (to my knowledge) IMPOSSIBLE to kill a chaos god, only weaken them.
@@somen0body417 In theory, you could **temporarily** kill a chaos God by killing all their mortal worshippers. Even then, it would only take ONE chaos cult to rediscover the lore, start worshipping, and thus resurrect them.
Nah clearly inspired by Azathoth from the Cthulhu mythos
@@andyb1653 Nope, the underlying concepts and emotions that make up the great four make it literally impossible to defeat them.
Especially khorne.
@@nietname2468 Which is why I say "In theory". In practice, yes it is quite impossible. However, if you *somehow* convinced every sentient being to not kill in his name, Khorne would shrivel up and disappear. Killing the chaos gods by cutting off all worship of them was part of the Emperor's plan.
In the short time that I have known about this obscured character, Abeloth The Bringer Of Chaos or The Queen Of The Stars (as she is also known as) is my favorite character in the Star Wars Univers right now. And I wish that that she would be canonized in the future. I would to see an actual story about her.
