1. The main characters of Star Wars and how many things they have survived
I mean, you said so, they're MCs
Mostly R2.
@@xxvaltielxx1789 they arenβt Master Chief, and thereβs not two only one? What are you smoking?
@@thefallenC073 you're trying to make a joke right? I think i'm too stupid to understand, but just in case: MC = Main Character
Don't know why would i be talking about Halo rn
@@xxvaltielxx1789 it was a joke, MC in the Halo fandom stands for Master Chief so I was making fun of that
I shall begin my studies of these beings. They may prove threatening to the Ascendancy.
Supernatrual encounters seems like a good read to help with your research grand admiral
You dead If a bad one finds you tho so watch out Admiral
I want in. Consider me an enforcer.
Grand admital may i sudgesst not getting slose with the mgnall mgnall
Grand Admiral, Iβve gained intelligence that rebels have hacked this comment section. I suggest you not let them know your true intentions.
Other dimensions? Perhaps these dimensions are of different timeliness... Legends could actually be cannon but in a different timeline..
You mean Disney wars could actually be Canon? Lol
@@HydratedBeans cuz it's a fucking mess lol
@@HydratedBeans Because Lucasfilm is a mess*
@@____________838 true, though itβs kinda hard to not be when youβre given two years to plan a trilogy and make the first movie. Theyβre doing better now, at least.
Have you guys heard of the star wars rebels time line theory. They say that dave filoni is trying to make another timeline.

A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one
The concept of the Bedlam Spirits is so intriguing
Its beldam moron
@@superbeanz6947 You could have said that with out calling him a moron.
@@Servo_M Theyβre a Hutt, known to not be so friendly.
@@rogueseven Smart guy plus its not like he even sees these comments
Everyone's gangsta until Splendid Ap appears in more than one place at a time. Lay off the spline, Splendid Ap!
*Splendid Ap:* "-and I'm all out of ass."
I prefer the theory that they are all connected. Several authors seemed to be getting at that before the EU was cancelled. Cliff notes version: Celestials ruled the galaxy, decided they got to powerful, and chose to leave. One of their number, Wotzak, refused, staying behind and setting himself up as a god (Possibly in the Vong galaxy). He took parts of his own personality to try and make lesser gods who became the bedlam spirits. Realizing they were imperfect, he made to destroy them, but they tricked him into being imprisoned in a force crystal. The spirits then traveled to the beginning of time and started making all sorts of monsters like Mngall Mngall. Eventually, they all died off, except Tilotny, who would eventually become Abeloth, but that is a whole nother story, and this comment is getting long.
Ah, I see, your knowledge of Supernatural Encounters pleases me deeply...
I forgot Alan Moore had written a comic for Star Wars. Though Ron Marz did as well and named a ship "Emerald Twilight" in a reference to the Green Lantern story he also wrote. Also love how the Hellhoop looks like the Phantom Zone from Superman II.
Alan Moore's Darth Vader vs Guilt powered psychic assassin (Dark Lord's Conscience) is really interesting because it was written around the time of Empire Strikes Back. It seems like Moore intended to say that Vader was incapable of guilt or remorse. But after the Prequels it is easily reinterpreted to mean he's been at 110% self-hate ever since Padme, so he can't be hurt any worse.
5 unexplainable gods
*Proceeds to explain them*
*Lovecraft's writing in a nutshell*
This isn't disrespect, just honesty.
These things remind me of supernatural things that people say they've said in like shows and stuff.
Oh yes, I agree Prussia.
This videos gotten me excited for supernatrual encounters
Thatβs a good book
@@akumaking1 here's to hoping ecks will cover it in Sept when it hopefully gets rereleased
Before that happens, do y'all think Eck should read "Cult Encounters" and do a lore video on the stories in that?
I found the Zeffo from Fallen order really interesting
I feel like they could easily have existed in Legends as one of the Firstborn races.
Video Idea: Commando Droids vs ODSTs(Star Wars vs Halo)
Id like that
I feel like this may be a bit of a mismatch in my opinion due to what both are designed/trained for. As far as I'm aware the commando droids are more geared towards infiltration while ODSTs are more of a shock and awe sort of troops, kind of like paratroopers
That being said, if the weapons the UNSC have can harm the Commando droids I'd give it to the ODSTs.
I like this idea as well, if only because it's a crossover thing.
@@thegamecrasherthemastergam8485 The Commando droids were designed for special operations, but they have proved that they are good at other roles
@@nobleman9393 True enough, though I feel like my point still holds water, at least somewhat because of my earlier statement.
Anyway, which do you think would win?
@@thegamecrasherthemastergam8485 I think that At long range The ODSTs would most likely win, but at medium/close range the Commando Droids would most likely win
Somehow Alan Moore's Star Wars comics were wilder than his Doctor Who comics
Probably reused plots for them.
One thing Legends did a lot better than Canon was its embrace of the inherent _weirdness_ of the Star Wars universe.

@@ImTheReverse In otherwords... they were better at everything except sucking.
idk, sequels were pretty WEIRD
@@goodmind4940 I tend to ignore the very existence of them now, tbh. Then again, ST, SW, Dr.W, and a few other stories I loved have been utterly desecrated lately.
Man, your star wars mythos and knowledge never disappoints, itβs always nice to see you upload these kinds of videos, thank you!
Oh yes, I think I'm speaking for nearly everyone here, pls do more bizarre/spooky content from Star Wars and similar non-SW content (like the Man After Man and The Last Question videos)!
Iβd say more with abeloth but there are a lot of videos from him and other channels about her already. So maybe a further look into the depths of the ancient sith if possible.
I was just looking into all these strange phenomena yesterday, feels eerie for you to suddenly drop a video on these creatures/entities.
This video has me nostalgic of your OG top 5 vids I used to love, still support your new content but those vids were my absolute fav and got me into the EU :)
Remember kids, Star Wars is more than humans and X-wings
Actual half of the SW community: *"Deadass ?!"*
Have you ever considered covering the Mass Effect universe? Itβs kinda Halo parallel while behind unique.
He's done a few crossover and lore videos.
your content is amazing eck. keep it up
Of course Moore created the weird star wars stuff
3:03 - Watch Oban Star-Racers. It's a 26 episode long animated series that really gives that feeling of an awe-inspiring, wide-open universe.
@@michaelandreipalon359 Honestly, it's my favorite animated series of all time, and I'm counting both Eastern and Western animation, so things like Samurai Jack and Avatar: The Last Airbender as well as anime like One Punch Man and Cowboy Bebop. I make a point to rewatch it at least twice a year. I even marathoned the whole thing in a day once, all 26 episodes, but that was a bit much. I don't think I'll be doing that again.
β@@michaelandreipalon359 It takes a few episodes to really get going, but it's an excellent series. It's strength is really in its vastness. What I really love about it, and what no other series has really been able to capture for me is that feeling of "wow, look at this universe - it's so vast". When the main characters arrive on an alien world for the first time, there are dozens, if not hundreds of aliens in the background of the first few shots, and they FEEL really alien, like the artists actually took the time to develop these aliens, instead of just making stupid stock aliens. They FEEL real, if that makes any sense. And throughout the Great Races on Alwas and Oban, you meet a number of unique species that all have their own quirks and traits - my favorite being Spirit due to just how bizarre he is, but there are so many others - there's Prince Aikka, Rush, Para-Dice, O, Ceres... And they all FEEL like there's a history, a culture behind them.
I apologize for going on and on, but I really do love the show, there's a lot packed into the 26 episodes.
@@michaelandreipalon359 Yeah, 26-episode long shows are fairly simple. Hell, I watched Bleach TWICE, and that's 366 episodes long.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy it!
@@michaelandreipalon359 I really only brought up Bleach as a reference for show length. Oban isn't anything like Bleach, don't worry.
My boy, Waru better be on this list!
The sequels SHOULD HAVE explained some of these things⦠Hopefully Jon and Dave go into the Origins of the force and the gods and things tho I think there is such cool concepts they could
Use and Also have the Whills and the Father mother and son involved live action.
Supernatrual encounters hopefully will give a satisfying orgin
@@michaelandreipalon359 canβt be as bad as saying the force is female.
Master2552 Cult and Supernatural Encounters made my day. I can't wait for illustrated and extended edition.
while i respect that this is something that you want, i could not disagree more. the force is at its best when it is a barely understood entity. honestly, i feel like the dark side is the most boring aspect of the force at this stage since it has been explored the most thoroughly.
it is kind of like watching freddie prince jr talk about Kanan vs Maul and the whole "who would win" discussion (his point was that the force has a will of its own, and no matter the skill of the other participant, the force's will has a say in the end" and then comparing it to Sam Witwer talking about Maul vs Kenobi (rebels) and how before a blade is drawn, maul is already dead.
both of them were arguing two seperate theories about how the force works and neither of them were wrong. "thats not how the force works" is both the smartest and the dumbest line of the TFA since attempting to put an objective truth to "a field of energy that surrounds and binds all living creatures".
@@mikusfajigus I mean, it does have a mind of its own kinda, Anakin's existence was basically the Force trying to balance itself in a way, Kreia also has a lot of good takes on that matter, but I wouldn't say it's sapient or sentient.
Love your content. Thanks.
#askEck Hello, huge fan of your work. I was wondering if you would ever wanna cover the Sith Witchling in the future.
A fan of the fine arts I see
Can already tell from the title this will be cool
Iβd love to see something on your channel pertaining to the βTruce at Bakuraβ
I dont know how familiar with Stargate you are but i think it would be interesting to do a video on if The Ori could successfully invade the Star Wars Galaxy
#askecks since u like the supernatrual beings are you excited for the expanded release of supernatrual encounters
A fan of the finer arts I see
RustonTapcaf ah, a fellow fan of culture and understanding I see
Eck: does a vid on weird stuff
Me: classic! π
All this wacky legends stuff is super interesting
Are we forgetting the most powerful and mysterious god in Star Wars, the creature with the ability to affect minds beyond the universe: Grogu
truly an outerversal feat
Two things:
One, I wish one of the bedlam spirits hadnβt been obviously humanoid shaped,
And two, What if the Emperor created his super weapons to destroy the planet of the Nalnal.
The humanoid form she took upon was very early on in Tilotny's life, as she had just learning how to manipulate the lesser aspects of reality. Also, it could be because her creation was influenced by a grieving Celestial that remembered the humans of Earth Prime in its original Universe. I doubt The Emperor planed on destroying ancient cosmic horrors like Mggnal-Mggnal and other abominations forgotten in the interstellar void but I think it's safe to bet that his superweapons could kill most of them. If he were to encounter something akin to Anthlagiroth (The World Razer) then no amount of technology or Force powers would save him from its world-shattering fury or star-killing gluttony. But the chances of running into something like that is almost impossible. Eldritch abominations like The World Razer and Void Horror have been destroyed or sealed away far from the reach of galactic society.
love this stuff! strange and weird is best!!!
ngl, kinda love these kind of vids :D
Check out the Star Wars article Cult Encounters for more disturbing lore like this
The mgnall mgnall is the child of the bedlam spirits trilotny and cold danda sine , as well as three other creatures known as typhojem , tharagorrogahaht . And interestingly , Trilotny is also the sole creator of abeloth .
Your knowledge of the deep lore pleases me greatly. I really hope Eck goes over Cult Encounters soon. It'd be a great introduction into Supernatural Encounters later on when it finally releases...
Eck have you read the Children of time? Great books, very weird and very cool
Aw Eck you devil, I can sense the Supernatural Encounters in this one. Impressive, most impressive.
Before he even jumps the shark and dives into those deep waters he needs to go over Cult Encounters. That shit had my eyes glued until the end π
Whatzek is one of my favorites Star Wars gods β€β€β€
3:39 I disagree. I think that the forms taken by the Bedlam Spirits have no meaning at all, and that's the point. Remember, the Bedlam Spirits don't understand physical form; when she encounters Leia and the stormtroopers, Tilotny believes she's created them herself. That's why the comic is called "Tilotny Throws a Shape." She incorrectly believes that she has invented the concept of shape and form. The weird purple and blue lava lamp looking spirit, Horliss-Horliss, has to instruct Splendid Ap, the big pink cone shaped guy, that a form can only be in one place at a given time. Splendid Ap was multiplying himself before Horliss-Horliss told him this.
It's cool when stars wars does eldritch horror. Would love to see some of this in the movies. Sequels definitely missed a trick by not having the Yu Zeng Vong, or a better version of the dark empire story they went with
Yuuzhan Vong*
If Iβm being honest with how the yuzhong Vonng war sounds, I donβt know how they bring it to the big screen, not just because of writing and directing but on how they could bring the vonng species themselves to life cause they sound more like something for a novel rather than a movie.
@@EternalEmperorofZakuul yes.
@@EternalEmperorofZakuul agreed
@@flightlesslord2688 check this dark and strange Star Wars EU article. I think you'll enjoy it if you like Lovecraftian-like stories and lore.
This the good shit. I like these types. Do weird stories!!!!
Prediction: Supernatural Encounters is going to be mentioned.
Edit: I was incorrect.
Exploring that and Cult Encounters would give him some seriously new and interesting content
The comics are so infinite and have so much depth
What lol that's is the exact video I wanted :)
Awesome to see some Lovecraftian nightmare fuel in my favorite sci-fi!
Still have trouble believing *Luuke* was a real legends character
@@HydratedBeans yeah, a useless mute clone of Luke that existed only for Mara Jade to satisfy her brainwashed need to murder Luke. I love the thrawn books but...yeah finding Lukeβs hand and lightsaber and making a clone of him...yeah. Just bad.
@@russellharrell2747 I thought it was fine. Maybe my tolerance for cringe is just higher or something.
@@HydratedBeans enjoyment of the EU definitely depends on cringe tolerance. Itβs especially true of modern canon star wars too.
5:26 Could you do a video about characters depicted different (in comics) to what they sould look like.

The subtle spell it as Whatsapp, lol
Dank video
So interesting
Can you make more starship versus they are so good
Number 1 shouldβve been me, waiting for midnight for my Halo Flighting to load
I wonder if the Wuztek, Waru, and the Bedlam Spirits were corrupted Celestials.
Wuztek was a Celestial that created The Bedlam Spirits/Evil Architects. And from The Evil Architects came countless interdimensional abominations, one of the most dangerous being the dark god Oordryl or in modern times as Waru.
@@blackshogun272 Do ya have a source for that?
@@thepaladinauthoryoutube it's from the (currently in progress) unfinished "Supernatural Encounters" novel. I can link a site for you where a prelude article kinda dips your toes into the dark and strange past and future of Star Wars. The actual story I titled above is on the right hand corner of the site page if you wanna see how it's coming along. But I highly recommend reading the article itself before; since, well, it's actually complete π
I love Waru.
It'd be a sentient mass of wet gravel that can travel through dimensions and is a hardcore party animal.
At 6:45 - is that a van Gogh mask top right on the rack? ^^
There are thought to be at least 100 billion galaxies in our observable universe. Imagine the things and stories beyond the galaxy we know
I used love those videos, definitely welcoming this
Have you thought of doing a star wars themed xcom 2 playthrough
@@michaelandreipalon359 because turn based tactics and it has enough to make sith lords jedi mandolorions and anything else really
I remember when that old video came out
I would enjoy seeing a couple of these become modern cannon. Not to much, but enough to drag them back into cannon.
Iβve been thinking the kenobis canon story could have him expirence force visions involving some strange supernatural creatures though thats only a meager hope. Of all these enties its thr mgnaal mngaal that I find the most interesting and wanted to play a larger role in the star wars universe. Like maybe they infect the vong or something pfft.
#askeck do you ever wonder that if the celestials also went to other galaxies as well as other dimensions (like Mortis), and maybe even the Yuuzhan Vong Galaxy?
You're actually right on the mark for this theory. At least in the EU, The Celestials departed our domain/dimension to others for we had willingly given up our faith in them for evil and dark desires or in simpler terms "sin".
Holy crud Alan Moore wrote Star Wars comics?????? As a huge Star Wars and comic book fan, I need this book now
Oh boy! at last early.
Mnggal mnggal is my fav
I feel old, I remember when the "old" video was brand new
5:55 Where is the footage in that background from? Is it a game or a film or something?
I would be okay with updating old videos with new visuals from live action stuff like from the Mandalorian
