The ALIEN EMPIRE that Almost DESTROYED First Order 

“Almost destroyed the First Order.” *Almost* Figures, damn xenos can’t do *anything* right.

The unknown regions: star wars equivalent of the Bermuda Triangle

"Sees thumbnail" *Grineer inbound*

I honestly love the Yuuzhan Vong, I know a lot of fans hate them but I hope they appear in canon again.

Timothy Zahn is a legend in Star Wars. I met the guy once! He’s a great author.

The Aliens that almost killed the First order. MESA JAR JAR BINKS

Timothy Zahn saved Star Wars. Change my mind.

The real question: if joruus is the clone of jorus, is sheev the clone of shev

One does not simply sweep the Yuuzhan Vong under the carpet after millenia travelling to take over the galaxy

Zahn is also the author of his own original book series “Cobra,” which follows cybernetic soldiers with weapons hidden in their bodies designed for Guerrilla warfare on alien-occupied planets. I think it’s worth looking into for those who enjoy his works.

"Who is it? Vong?" "No." "Zakuul?" "No." "Another apparently dangerous species that sits on their ass that I've never heard of?" "Yes."

Believe me, the new trilogy would have been very interesting had Disney hired him to write the entire story arc of the sequel trilogy.

I've done creative writing and fanfics since highschool, and I'm writing a novel now. Timothy Zahn has always been my #1 inspiration of how I storytell.

Grineer would kill the first order. If my warframe can struggle with the Grineer then the first order is DONE.

*sees thumbnail* Me: "Grineer? What the f-"

Grisk? Sound like Di$ney-fied Vong. Though I wouldn't mind seeing Zahn put in full creative control of the story group.

I really like the books by James Luceno. He has great content. I love his contribution to the Star Wars Visual Dictionary, and Plagueis and Tarkin. He’s a great author!

Yo that's a Grineer galleon from Warframe

If the mandalorian faction was at full strength, the grisks would be destroyed if they invaded

I love the vision of Timothy Zahn with his books, because he seems to see Star Wars similarly to how I do - focusing more on "realistic" sci-fy/ science fantasy possibilities within a fictional universe and not using it primarily as a platform for pushing political agendas. He makes more believable characters and interesting storylines that grow beyond the original trilogy, taking the story into new directions without destroying or invalidating the established lore.

I like the Vong better. They were like the Star Wars version of Alien and Predator having a baby.

Your lack of faith in the EU disturbs me.

When I was a kid I lived in the same town as Timothy Zahn. He was pretty weird, and most of us knew he was writing a book because he always talked about it, but he never said what it was about. He moved away when I was 11 or 12, and then we all found out he became famous. It's pretty strange looking back at him now not knowing he was writing one of my favorite book series.

Ahh, yes, the Grineer are the alien species that nearly destroyed the First Order. Of course.

Timothy Zahn is my favorite Star Wars author, because many of his books show the Imperials' points of view.

They've said that the next Star Wars project takes place 400 years in the past, and has to do with trying to explore the Unknown Regions. Also, there's Ezra and Thrawn. They're most likely in the Unknown Region. Wherever the purrgil took them. And Sabine and Ahsoka are looking for them. So I think, and just having fun guessing, is that there's a setup for a threat from the Unknown Regions being slowly built up.

I'd recognising those ships anywhere, what are you doing with the Grineer?

I just finished listening to the 2 Thrawn trilogies, and I really hope they bring the Grisk into live action. They're a truly terrifying adversary and if they bring them into the post sequel trilogy era, they'll clean the pallet from all of the First Order bs.

hey, ever considered doing some stuff about the late era of EU? I know a lot of people can't stand the denningverse, but I think its pretty good.

Zahn +First Order Origins = Perfection.

I would kill for a TV or streaming series about the first order at war with a militant species. Maybe it could be the new canon version of the war with the Vong.

8:04 Say that again... now faster.

Basically they remastered yuzhan vong.

Oh boi, they're gonna need something stronger than Jedi to fight Sentients

I love the unknown regions, their is soo much unique tech and factions their, like the chiss with their maser’s and claw craft, and now the grisk with their “lightning”/energy guns and unique ships, cant wait for art of them to pop up

Well the First order must have found a way to deal with the Grisk. Even after episode 9 there are still first order bases, planets, storehouses, ships, and production facilities in the unknown regions. They only showed some resurgent class ships taken out. No one invaded and took out their holdings in the unknown regions. We know they had lots of ISD’s they modified and smaller ships they used in the unknown regions. I’d LOVE to see Zahn write about this. I recently purchased the Zahn 1995 books and his newer books on Audible.

I-Is that a warframe background in the thumbnail? Tenno + Jedi would be awesome plus Clem wielding blaster rifles.

Your choice of depiction for the grisk had me laughing so hard! I just kept remembering the scene with the red button.😂

I didn't realize there was another massive empire in the Unknown Regions aside from the Vong. Interesting! Thanks!

I’d like to see a Star Trek like series that follows either an expeditionary fleet into the unknown region or the first order trying to survive in it.

Timothy Zahn's trilogy was my favorite! I got my hands on it 22 years ago in an used books shop in Costa Rica ! :P it hurt me sooooo much when I knew Disney was scrapping his trilogy

They sound like a combination of the Yuuzhan Vong and the Covenant from Halo

Sounds like the Vong mixed with the Yautja/Predators

Glad to see Tim getting some love. Hope Generation Tech has read his non-trek books. I am particularly fond of Triplet and Spinnerette. . . not to mention the Cobra serieseses.

Anyone else feeling that these aliens sound like a discount Yuuzhan Vong?

A shame they didn't succeed, would've been a more interesting antagonist faction.

this a amazing video alen ,thank u for starwars universe

theres been alot of talk of the unknown regions lately like thrawn, snoke, exagoal now the griss makes me think of what Lucas film is planning it has to be something big

I need to know, why are there Grineer gallions in the thumbnail but not in the video?

I would have loved to see a game of thrones type conflict between the vong, New republic, resistance, first order, and the sith. But I think they should have done more to make the new sith empire more unique from the first order.

This sounds like a major post episode 9 storyline to me. Galaxy is fractured. No standing government and likely separate cells of first order in control of spots. We could have different factions ruling the galaxy. A perfect storm for the a Grysks to invade a galaxy in chaos and turmoil. The resistance may have won but there’s no structure currently. One Jedi cannot fight hordes of the Grysks.

Timothy Zahn is a legend I do have to pick up second Thrawn novel tho

I’m quite intrigued by the kind of Mongol/Hun/Avar inspiration element of the Grysk. The Mongols adapted and adopted tech from clients, made heavy use of scouting but were ultimately defeated by a breakdown of the empire into competing factions. Huns (Black Huns of Attila fame) were more a confederacy with the original nomads only comprising a small amount of the vast power they wielded using subjugated clients. They were defeated by the remnants of the western Roman Empire along with Germanic and other nomadic allies who occupied former Roman lands, their ultimate defeat coming after Attila died and the subjugated people rebelling. Avars devastated the Balkans subjugated the people living there and defeated the Eastern Romans numerous times. They were defeated when The Franks gathered a large army and after defeating them in battle numerous times made it to the almost legendary Avar capital which was an unusual city of many concentric circles. A theme for all was the adaption to their ways of fighting and the use of their warriors as mercenaries before, during and long after their ascendency. Looking at the possible inspirations there is a lot that could come from this Grysk narrative.

What’s with the grineer ships from warframe in the thumbnail?

Basically: if Thrawn says/thinks something, it is in your best interest to agree if you don't have anything better to offer. However, if you have a better idea, it is better to voice it

Thank You for including Star Citizen imagery into your videos, even if not discussed or mentioned as in 8:37 ... but the RSI Mantis and its interdiction system makes for a good unofficial plug for the game. If you can, would be nice to see a video on SC, and your review of the upcoming game ect. The Mantis shown here is a decent Star Trek'ish design, and really nicely styled on the inside too. The Drake Corsair is more Star Wars'ish.

Death troopers was fudging awesome. The description was great and he even added communication between the storm troopers. Before they got turned into zombies. Obviously

The Grysks should have been the main villains of the Sequel trilogy

I think we will find out a lot more about The Gryssk from Thrawn and Ezra since I think they are stuck in their territory or that of their "client species" and we will get our first good look at them in the follow up to Rebels.

>Sees thumbnail Are those Grineer Galleons?

Cool that the first order had to fight many aliens to survive. Great video

My fantastical theory is that Grysks are fled to unknown region from another galaxy after being defeated by Yuuzhon Vong. This would make Yuuzhon Vong far more terrifying.

Where did you guys get the Han Solo in Carbonite from? I need one for my room

me *reads title" me "shit the gungan empire has attacked"

The Chiss, Vagaari, and now these Grysks, jeez, the Unknowns really are a dangerous place.

I saw the thumbnail and notice the First Order is facing the Grineer Faction.

Thrawn has another trilogy coming this year about the Chiss ascendency

Cool video guys keep it up

Can’t believe Chiss is a powerful being and independent. Ironically first time I saw a chiss in Jedi Academy game and he working as bartender.

Love the content!

I like the grineer galleons on the thumbnail

My favorite channel on RU-vid

While I don’t agree that the Grysk are the “new” Yuuzhan Vong, since I really want more biotechnology, but I do think they’re an interesting species.

that RSI mantis screenshot nice

*Sees thumbnail* Me: are those Grineer ships from warframe?

They could make a seriously cool trilogy and massive amounts of new content for starwars for this

I love that he shows grineer ships from warframe

You had me at Timothy Zahn

As a W40k, imagine lost to an impure race like xenos 💀

From what u said about how the gris decorate there ships it might mean that there home world was destroyed or made uninhabitable

Nice, a picture of the RSI Mantis the Quantum interdiction ship from star citizen ^^

Timothy Zahn one of the greatest authors in existence

Wait...did I just see a Klingon battle cruiser??

Why do I get the feeling Disney is going to mess up the Vong if they ever do get to them. Probably turn them into a mix of Hellraiser and an organic Borg of sorts.

The Gris sound like any generic alien marauder. Bring me the Vong!

This sort of story-telling feels more like Star Trek to me.

The Yuuzhan Vong were perfect for the expanded universe

See thumbnail **Distant "TENNO SCOOM" screaching**

I love this channel’s vids, if I can make a suggestion, can you guys talk about more Halo lore?

Was that a piece of Destiny concept art I just saw at 3:52?

6:02 is that a Klingon Battle Cruiser!?

I think I missed it. Did the Imperial Remnant defeat the Griss or did they end up not fighting directly?

I suppose Kylo Ren is having a really hard time fighting Bigg Dikk.

Nice poster in the background.

The Unknown Region is just The Dark Continent on a galactic scale

7,8, and 9 should have been the Yuuzhan Vong War or Abeloth Saga

Great stuff :) ... I still think that Disney needs to make a movie on Darth Bane. The story itself is so fundamental on the ways of Modern Sith as the rule of 2 was devised by Darth Bane. Plus of course he was the ultimate bad ass!! C'mon peeps insect armor ftw!!! :D ..

You should do a evolution video on the IG series droid

Outbound Flight was awesome.

3:51 destiny 1 fan art Love that game
