Star Wars is so goddamn goofy for this 

I knew what this was gonna be the moment I saw the thumbnail and title. I still find it fascinating that we got a whole new character plus a video game explaining Adi's absence in AOT, just because of a recast, despite Adi essentially being a nameless background character in the movies. Guess even George goes in as deep as some fans to.

Just a daily reminder to never delete that outro- it is the best

The funniest one to me was Sheev saying, "Bail Antilles" and then George changing his married name to Organa after the fact with zero explanation when there was a Captain Antilles and a Wedge Antilles. Needlessly confusing indeed. EDIT: LOL I typed this before you mentioned it. Hilarious.

Wait so what if Palpatine and Sidious are actually different people after all and just the same species? Could we have just been confused this whole time?😱

I just remembered this: Denis Lawson was Space Jesus’s uncle! If Higgs didn’t have trouble with his, lines, there wouldn’t have been an uncle to inspire Ewan McGregor, and thus not perfect conviction in “Hello there!”

I actually kinda like that Lucas and other contributors to the lore got caught up in the little unnoticed details in the background. I like that almost every background character as a some back story.

There's the whole Sifo Dyas was "Sido Dyas" in the original script - Implying that Palpatine may have been a Jedi at one point. There was also some marketing material for Episode I that showed a brown-haired, clean-shaven white guy who was listed as "Bail Organa" but once the film came out, it was changed to "Bail Antilles" because apparently that surname is super common in the Star Wars galaxy.

6:40 and both of the colemans got their names are tuckerizations of people who worked on the films. Robert coleman and his son, Jack.

Was not happy about how they killed off Adi in the Clone Wars. The comics and Jedi Starfighter made her out to be way to much of a badass to die like that.

I kinda wish we could get stories of eeth koth and agen kolar and/or stass allie and adi gallia teaming up to go on a mission for the council.

Eeth Koth was originally aboard the gunship that explodes next to Anakin and Obi-Wan’s in Episode 2. He was cooked in the crash on Geonosis. Dave Filoni went to George and asked to resurrect him.

I for one am offended that Lucasfilm didn't trust us fans to recognize that Yoda sometimes dresses in drag for youngling story time and felt the need to invent the character of Yaddle out of nowjere.

Ok, I gotta know. What's the game at the end where R2 is duking it out with Perry the Platapus on an 32-bit version of the Termina arena?

This explains a lot, but in retrospect, I'm shocked we were never told that Kit Fisto wasn't in Episode 3, and we were instead seeing his cousin, Kat Fasto. One more action figure for the collectors!

I've always wanted someone to talk about this. You get the same thing with the characters of Pablo-Jil and Coleman Kcaj, and Depa Billaba and Sar Labooda. I think both Adi and Eeth would be tremendously more beloved characters if we had them through each of the prequel films, and having more of a connection if they die where they're doppelgängers die. We also won't have the situation of literally knowing nothing about Stass, Agen, and Coleman. There is still confusion with the official database for Obi-Wan Kenobi on whether or not we see Pablo-Jil or Coleman Kcaj in the tomb. Ironic with all the special edition and tweaks that have been made to the films, we still have these four cases running around.

I thought in Legends Eeth Koth died at the Battle of Geonosis

I had a crazy video idea, idk if you've done it already, but if you were given total control of star wars, what would you canonize and decanonize (or if you didn't decanonize anything, how would you handle it?)

My Favorite Star Wars ADR has to be "TWO FIIIGHTERS VS A STAR DESTROYAHH" int he most southern drawl imaginable

I didnt know the ongree existed in the actual movies! I onjy saw them in swtor, that had to be a really whicked protetic for only a hologram

wait the way i so confidently said eeth koth was at the sidious fight. ive literally always thought it was him😭😭

I always thought all those duplicates were meant to be the same person, didn't even notice the thousands of times I watched these movies.

That’s really interesting, I just did a video on what the council could look like in Acolyte and what action figures you can get to compete it (check it out) during the research I noticed just this and almost selected the wrong characters and was very confused for a moment. Love your video’s thanks .

I loved your podcast discussion on this. Weirdly under-discussed curiosity 😂

Factions compared idea sci fi insect swarm. Such as Tyranids, arachnids, Zerg, rachni, terminids.

"...its like poetry, it rhymes..."

Wait, so there were two of them this whole time!!🤯

i would like to see more videos like this perhaps one that focuses on contradictions in star wars books

I think it's perfectly fine that they use different characters instead of recasting them, especially in case of background characters. That's at least some effort put in to explain the different look. And it opens the door to tell interesting stories. However, I think in the case of Koth and Kolar it is quite hilarious that they seem to get confused about them themselves from time to time. I mean, in the Clone Wars Animated Show it seems that they use Koth in several scenes with other masters, even when it should be Kolar. But based on skin color it should be Koth, even when he should already be absent at the time? I also got confused in Episode 2 when it came to the Kamino plot line. As I remembered Yarael Poof from Episode 1 (not knowing his name at that time, though), I thought that he might be that mysterious Sifo-Dyas the Kaminoans were talking about, as he looked like one of them and he wasn't around any more, so it would have made sense that he got killed. If he was still present at the time, I think I might have never gotten confused because this logic wouldn't have worked any longer. As far as I know they removed him exactly for the reason to avoid confusion with the Kaminoans and achieved the exact opposite. Wasn't it former canon (before it got a retcon) that Eeth Koth was present at Geonosis and died when his ship got shot down?

And yet when Episode IX started I was able to immediately tell we were on Mustafar when other people complained lol

7:11 "He's kinda a freak not gonna lie".

When are we going to get a series about Kitster Banai ?

Were the Backstreet Boy characters in episode 2 actual characters from the extended Star Wars universe?

Old Star Wars: Slightly different appearance = new character Disney Star Wars: Completely different appearance and personality = same character

I have thought about these details many times as a child

He did not pull his punches with kit fisto

Did anyone else notice that they put Stass Allie on the cover instead of Adi Gallia? It's really clearly her hahah

I only just found out about the Galia/Ali thing recently and I had to laugh. The whole cousin thing is such a pointless retcon.

What is tahr game play in the back ground it looks cool I have never heard of that game

It is pretty silly, but I accepted it a long time ago lol. I don't hate the lore behind it, but I would've just gone with them being the same characters. Except for Stass Alie because her death was done pretty well in TCW.

Eckhardt, you forgot. No one's ever really gone.

Theres also the case of R2-KT and QT-KT. Because Dave belived having two droid whit R2 in there name woud confuse audience.

Star Wars and hockey what else do you need? 😂❤

. . .but which Adi Gallia death was worse: being head gored by Savage Opress on Florum or being gutted by General Grevious' Lightsabers on Boz Pity? in all things Star Wars, i choose the Expanded Universe variant.

Whats the flash game the start at 8:10?

7:45 what recent novel?

Wait wait wait, hold up, what was the r2 vs perry game

"Star Wars is so goddamn goofy" Good.

If they're the same characters then there's fewer toys you can sell.

What is that game at the end???

Adi Gallias actress is unbelievably pretty. Whew

These recast reminds me of the Game of Thrones recastings. But you were supposed to deal with it.

Why did you slow the audio down? It only sounds right at 1.25x speed??

I thought they were all supposed to be the same characters this whole time.

Chances are either; 1: actors weren’t able to make it to set on day of filming and backup was used. 2: new hiring occurred

The lady from jedi star fighter game

The female fighter pilot in Return of the Jedi had her voice overdubbed to be male. Darnit. Would hvae been epic.

What’s up with these AI sounding comments 😂

i consider myself a mega fan who is very educated on the lore of star wars. and even i sometimes call agen kolar and stass allie by the names eth koth and adi galia. so annoying that they did this lol.

This is getting out of hand. Now there are two of them!

Diversity requirements, the council has. Tax breaks the Jedi Order must get. Fucking expensive, Coruscant rent is.

So is it also NOT Mace Windu who meets up with Palpatine and Anakin on Naboo as they're arriving for Qui Gon's funeral?

2:44 Yaddle wouldn’t have accidentally called him the wrong name, because she would have been dead before he relinquished his seat on the council. 🤓

My headcanon is that maybe Eeth Koth just went on vacation and got a nice tan.

6:33 “Who gets just annihilated in episode 2 by Jango Fett, which was nice because it opened up a space on the council for Obi-Wan” 💀

With the original Star Wars, George Lucas clearly wanted to establish some kind of vibe with character accents, despite nearly all the actors being british, so there's a lot of dubbing over people and british actors putting on fake american accents. They also supposedly dubbed over a woman because it was deemed too dark for female pilots to be dying in the Battle of Endor (presumably also why an old lady pilot was cut) Following from that, it makes more sense why Phantom Menace did so much with more exotic accents for all the aliens, which was poorly received. I think the Clone Wars cartoon had more success with throwing around accents with French Twileks and Dee Bradley Baker doing lots and lots of his New Zealander impression

I think a lot of us millennials are very familiar with the Episode 1 council because they were in all the 90s video games we played over and over again and all over all the mountains of merchandise. What a wild time to be a kid!

That Kit Fisto bit lmao Im dead "the man looks like a freak" lmao

The power of one. The power of two. The power of maannnnyyyyyy.

Honourable mention to the vaguely Chiss-looking and Gran councilmen seen in one Grievous comic and never again, whose timelines do not really line up with any known gaps, so their presence on the council is questionable.

I always love the dog clip in the outro, so goofy in a loveable way.

This reminds me how Rune Haako, the advisor of Nute Gunray from TPM is suppose to be the Nemoidian with Gunray in Episode 2, but they sound completely different there and looks slightly different overall.

Next you're going to tell me that all the stunt doubles are actually separate characters!

3:46 at least for a character like Plo Koon you couldn’t tell they replaced the actor that was in the first 2 with a new guy for the third film, sadly for the new guy they didn’t recast the faceplate so he had to wear the face plate that was made to fit Alan Ruscoe.

Its to sell more toys 👍

At one point in the EU, the Duros and Neimoidians were supposed to be the same species.

Eath Koth was the best case argument for this was all just the same guy - too visually similar at a glance and no one would be the wiser. The Adi Galia switch was the goofiest - switching actress for a scene because actor unavailable, but same character, kill her off later THEN replace with a near identical cousin...the cousin part is the goofy thing. Why replace with a similar character that's just gonna confuse people and seem like the same one? I agree the Clone Wars series was a good opportunity to kill off some in the war and replace them, but replace them with meaningful NEW characters that look different...not just lookalikes.

I had an Eeth Koth action figure.... and all of a sudden there was this Agen Kolar guy.... i wondered what happened to Eeth Koth

WAIT… what game is that at the end of the video with R2D2 and Perry the Platypus fighting???

7:33 Ah yes, 'Jedi Dartboard' approach which led to many of the retcons I hate... (Also I think that Eeth Koth's original fate was being in the random LAAT that gets shot down in AotC, that's a retcon I'm fine with since other Jedi like Sora Bulq survived the same crash).

I think this is harmless goofiness. Kinda like classic Star Trek kitsch.

"I'm not Adi; I'm my original character, *BLADI* !"

Wow. I knew about all these characters but never thought about them at the same time, so they were just interchangeable in my head lmao

Not for nothing, but as fun as the Star Wars property is, it's always been goofy. I'm genuinely surprised that so many people take this IP so seriously. None of the space battles are ever remotely realistic, they all function as if they are flying in atmosphere most of the time. The strategies they employ in space combat is also like WWI and WWII as well, which was fine in the 80s but still, it makes no sense. Lightsabers make no sense, why does the light stop at a certain length... Why does the light portion have weight to it... Why are force users able to redirect blaster fire but not just activate their light saber and rip chunks of light from that and force throw at targets... How can a lightsaber be so hot to melt hulls and blaster doors but cool enough to be in your hands and inches from body parts in some scenes. Why don't they cause massive explosions when Lightsabers come in contact with each other. Why do force users fall to their death? They are essentially just using telekinesis, if they can make things float then they can make themselves float and even fly. They should be able to fly in space even, create a bubble of atmosphere around themselves with telekinesis and then push that bubble around wherever they want to go. They can mind wipe but not mind read? What kind of telepathy is this... We are all seeing how this is really a story about one religious group Jedi (Christian, maybe catholic specifically) focused on virgin birth, resurrection, rebirth and afterlife vs Sith (Muslims) and how they both want to run the world their way and prevent the other from existing right. We do all see this... Oh and further, how the 3rd group (Jewish?, Buddhist?) thinks they both have it wrong and should balance both aspects instead of just being extreme in either direction. There is no Earth in star wars right? Yet, everyone except like 5 people have British accents... Why does Darth Vader have a black guys voice 😅 till this day I've never understood why give him a black guy voice if he's white and has his own not booming/cool sounding voice whining about sand outside armor. Don't get me wrong, I'm an 80s baby loved this stuff growing up. Now, as an adult it's still fun, but there's no way my sci fi indulged mind can take anything Star Wars does seriously. There are so many better and realistic properties yall need to be cheering and pushing for over this, like The Expanse etc. Star wars should be the goofy IP filling kids imagination with wonder and awe, not adults taking it seriously like this really matters. How can we also look at TMNT, Transformers, and He-Man and realize it's just supposed to be fun and not taken so seriously, and not do the same for Star Wars?

If Jedi are supposed to forgo all personal attachments, why are Adi and Stass both allowed to be on the Council?

Does Yarael Poof get the pizza? If not then thats not the real Yarael Poof.

I believe in legends eeth koth died in aotc when his gunship got shot down right in front of mace windu. Also, in some of the behind the scenes of tcw dave mentioned to george that eeth was already dead at that point but decided to put him in anyway. I kind of wished that they had instead put agen kolar in instead of eeth koth, so those of us who still like to put canon and legends together wouldn't be a big problem.

Kit’s new appearance in episode III is explained by that being after Amidala learned he was called “Fisto”.

I generally think the council was kind of bad and most cases

Kit Fisto's change in appearance between Episode II and Episode III could just be what war trauma and lack of sleep looks like on his species.

adi gallia is jedi starfighter for me

I like how you think most people would even know that characters from the ep 2 fight were in the films outside of the fight and not just extras.When you first showed the 2 characters I wondered what they were from because I didnt remember a spiky headed jedi at all let alone 2.

Can’t believe you didn’t bring up Depa Billaba and her sister.

I was always curious why Darths & Droids decided to make Wedge a shapeshifter, but now after this video, I understand.

The funny thing is, the actress who played Stass Allie in Ep3 Order 66 scene looks way closer to Adi Gallia's Actress from Ep1 than the other Stass Allie's actress in Ep2

3:10 I agree with the editor

Four pairs actually - Depa Billaba was recast as well for the Battle of Geonosis, but similarly her recast actor was reassigned a new character, Depa's cousin, Sar Labooda. Regarding Wedge though, Fake Wedge is a separate canon character, even though they share a voice in the A New Hope. He's even got his own story in FACPOV! The two Colemans is because there were two separate Colemans involved with production - Robert Coleman (Trebor) and Jack Coleman (Kcaj)

RIP Star Wars.

Production members as background extras or cameos would be a cool one to do

Hey question who’s the editor of this video? I saw the editors note implying it’s somebody else but don’t see anybody credited in the description as the editor.

I need to know, what game can Parry the Platypus fight R2-D2 on a link map?
