I Found Star Wars's Most Obscure Alien 

All these alien dudes got me thinking.

The production value is really high that I can tell this channel is going places. Good video, Dan! Also my Glup Shitto is Therm Scissorpunch, and I feel he was snubbed in this video. Couldn’t even be an honorable mention?!

I was not expecting to be moved to near tears at the end. Great job!

Just imagine if Disney (or who might buy Star Wars from them in the future) decided to get together a team of super dedicated fans turned staff and have them make a complete encyclopedia. Every single character. Every single species. Every single ship. Every single location. No matter how obscure or unimportant. That would be an instant fan favorite book among the fans. It’d be massive and expensive so I could understand maybe dividing it up into multiple books by topic.

I am glad to finally have found a star wars fan channel that is nice to the whole star wars universe. Its good to see others like the sequels.

this video is really good Dan, I hope to see more in the future!

Matty here!! Been excitedly anticipating this video, and it was well worth the wait! Keep up the great work!

My Glup Shitto is The Crimson Corsair, Sidon Ithano and his crew. Could watch a whole trilogy of thier adventures with a big smile on my face. Also Constable Zuvio

Im so glad that i just happened to randomly get recommended this video. And by extension your channel. There has only been about one Star Wars channel who is very positive and not toxic. And you couldn't have worded what you said at the end any better. Definitely subscribing and looking forward to what you come up with next:). "We will watch your carrier with great interest."

I had the pleasure of meeting Timothy Zahn at a convention last summer, and one of my most pressing questions for him was what did three of the Unknown Regions aliens featured in his Ascendency Trilogy look like -- the Paccosh, Garwian and Vak, allies of Thrawn who came to help him (of their own accord) in the final battle of the trilogy. TZ's rather diplomatic answer was that he *didn't* have a clear mental picture of them, and that they looked like whatever we, the readers, envisioned them as. A little frustrating as a fan writer, but one of the others in my writing group came up with some beautiful concept art of the Paccosh, so I'm going with that. It would be nice to see them on-screen (or in a comic) at some point though. In my AU, all three stay allied with one another after Thrawn's exile, and become a new faction called the "Sunrise Alliance", after the planet over which the battle took place. This is highly unusual for the usually-isolationist Unknown Regions cultures. Then, shortly after 6 ABY, the Sunrise Alliance joins their old ally again, becoming proud members of the Empire of the Hand. TZ himself said he still considers all his "old" Legends stories canon, and writes his newer books with the idea in mind that Disney can "re-canonize" them at any time. Who am I to disagree with him? Anyway, it's nice to see I'm not the only one who cares about these little details! I feel vaildated! I've also added your friend's alien directory to my writing group's references, so thank you for that!

Chiss are humans. They're basically star wars dark elves to the human high elfs. They're derived from humans evolved in a particular environment. From what I understand.

My Glup Shitto is Dannik Jerriko, the Anzati bounty hunter who appears for five seconds in the Cantina. I even made a drawing of him for an art class I took. The Anzati are such a cool species - sort of like classic vampires mixed with mind flayers from D&D.

applaus is due for this…you went into depth that nobody else has bothered with and without insults

This is my new fav Star Wars vid!

Much of the sequels takes place in the Western reaches, which is on the fringe of settled space and near wild space, where the First Order emerged from. So it makes sense that a bunch of rare species would be in and around these events.

You know some species that i love for absolutely no reason at all? Catumen and Draethos. I can't explain, i just like them.

it is so nice to find not only a positive star wars channel again after so many years of being hit with nothing but anti-disney nonsense, but one thats entertaining, informative and heartfelt. already know i had to subscribe. Thank you for this great video. I'm about to go and look up all the lore I possibly can on Taun We from Attack of the Clones. Because I can.

An alien species I really liked were the Togorians, first introduced in the Han Solo trilogy. They were massive bipedal tiger beings. I really would have liked to see them in live action. I think the closest we got were the Pantorans.

Amazing video. My Glup Shitto would probably be Akar-Deshu, a Mahran. To this very day, the Mahrans don't have a single official visual depiction. Maybe the next video will be about prose-only species, hmmmm?

Fantastic video, now what’s a guy gotta do around here to get such a well made video all about Bossk and Trandoshans?

First time visiting your channel. I subbed 5 minutes into this video. You're pleasant to listen to, unbiased, and you have genuinely interesting content. You've got great stuff going on here, and I'm anxious to see more. The Force is definitely shining on this channel!

More videos! This is amazing! Also do a Muun History video and ask me anything 😊

I'm beyond excited to watch this channel expand! I can tell a lot of passion was put into the production of this video 👍🏽 canon and legends both add so much to the universe, and I love seeing both continuities represented here.

Absolutely loved this video, you gotta make more!!

The way they used uncommon species in the Sequels is pretty ballsy, I'll admit.

Amazingly fun video, eagerly await the next.

Very well made video, the behind the scenes stuff is very intriguing and this is the first time i heard of the Ugor, cool wacky dudes.

Awesome video! You rock, Dan

Dang, I really thought it was gonna be Zuckuss lol Deleted scenes are interesting cause they technically don't count but they were still made. Awesome video

I really loved this video and learned alot, you got my subscription! An alien I'd love to see in love action or animation is an ortolan who isn't Max rebo walking around in their Canon form where they don't have arms and play instruments with their feet. As for why there were all new aliens for the sequels, they probably wanted to give the designers a chance to create their own aliens to mirror the magic of the original trilogy where most aliens were new designs in each film

Amazing video, Dan! Can’t wait to see more!

The background music is making my soul transcend my body. Also, good video. Keep up the good work!

I don't mind how common humans and Twi'Lek are. We know what our RL world population is like, and I think Twi'Lek are used as the other "Breeds pretty fast Humanoid" and is also spread for an alternate reason to human colonial spread (i.e. Twi'Leks got spread by slavery). But on one detail in this video, I really appreciate how the new TV shows are using creatures from previously made pieces of canon. Similar to the Dor Namethian, I appreciate how the Anzellans were used again in "The Mandalorian". I love how Mother Talzin was based on a piece of concept art from when they were trying to invent Maul, and then she was made Maul's mother (or at least the Great Mother of his birth community, because I know Legends has a different Nightsister as his mother), and the whole idea that Maul is Dathomiri, bringing back a culture first introduced in a novel as well (and went on to a major second-gen character who was half-Dathomiri - yes I am talking about Tenel Ka). I appreciate how Clone Wars highlighted as many Jedi as they could. Rebels gave us a major character who was a Twi'Lek who was not playing the "Sexy Alien Woman" role, the live action shows brought animated characters to life, while also really adhering to the OT aesthetic (the OT tried not to be Late 70s, but Late 70s slipped through, and the shows replicated it).

It had been 40 years since he was last spotted online. To bring stability to this grim future we faced without him, many of his fans flocked to other youtubers, in hopes for finding the same joy he brought them. Occasionally, his name might have been brought up, in passing remark, or whilst honouring the legends that came before. However, these mentions, these "glitches" almost, became less frequent, and we began to loss hope of a future when he would return. I however, I remained hopeful, hopeful of this future, for many years. Until now, this evening, when I heard a familiar voice. It was then I released. That future I hoped for, that future that saw his return. It was now. The Future is Now. Welcome back DT.

Great video man

Fantastic first video dude!

Incredible work

The best species is definitely the Muun

Awesome video! I'm the guy from the Selkath tweet. My favorite obscure species is the Balnab from Clone Wars, which I think isn't their true species name PS: Sorry it took me so long to watch the video 😅

Find your Glup is a message we should all subscribe to

Really cool video my guy

I believe the double bladed lightsaber was in the kotor comics first

GRRRR YOU SAID YOU LIKE THE SEQUELS GRAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH IM GOING TO GO RAGE MODE WHY DO YOU LIKE THEM I AM SCREAMING AND PUNCHING MY SCREEN

i was wondering my the dor namethian looks so familar. tell me of reminds me oof it from andor. it was thinking species was the Espheni from the sci fi show falling skies.

i'm not too deep into star wars lore, mainly just watch the movies and shows 😅, but this video was really great! 👍

The second you spoke positively about the sequels is when you completely lost me.

I need a detailed video on how you possibly enjoyed the sequel trilogy, I thought we all agreed that in fan canon those movies don’t exist

Very neat video.

The maquette looks like the aliens from Lazerblast

My fav glup shitto is the shozer (goss toowers)

:38 Wow, now that sounds like a colossal waste of time.

Ok, in A New Hope what was the cantina alien that looked like a cheap werewolf mask called?

i liked when dark horse comics brought back the new alien species they made for the first marvel star wars comics

I like star wars because of the large variety of aliens in star wars

I love Star wars species they are so cool this now My favorite star wars video on RU-vid

dope ass vid dude

This video is so gooooood 💖💖✨✨

I THINK YOU'RE ME! I LIKE THE SEQUELS, AND TLJ IS MY FAV... are you me?

This video is a celebration of Glup Shitto.

You never revealed the silhouette at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="645">10:45</a> what’s the deal

indeed the greatest glup shitto my guy

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="835">13:55</a>

Very interesting video lmao a new glup shitto everyday

Bro, retcons don't count! The only intentional EU pull would be Thrawn in this list.

The problem with the sequels is that a lot of the aliens they made for the sequals, is thay they made them because most of the aliens thay didnt feature in the OG trilogoy are actually licensed. IE disney would have to pay someone for their intellectual property, which based on how much fan art they have stolen for their comics line and the last god awful movie, is quite unlikely. Its why i dont watch any of the disney shit is because they did what lucas never did, they fucked people over

I still can’t like last jedi. Visually it’s fine, and on paper the story is decent, but the execution killed it for me. However, credit where it’s due, I did like the visuals, and seeing the new aliens

You sound so much like Ted ed

Star Wars Aliens are Awesome except for the universe's most annoying JarJar Binks. And on a side note Whoever designs StarTrek aliens must be fascinated with Genitals , almost every alien species in Star Trek look disturbingly wrong.

incorrect, the most obscure is Marfalump

what a nerd last jedi smh
