No I didn't know anything about the Charon but I'm glad to know that there was a splinter group that broke away from the hopelessness and started decent and honest lives of their own and I didn't know that there was a planet named rainbow and the natives that inhabited it good work Geetsly 10/10 thank you for the video.
@@kyleslavik6324 it’s not them. It’s a fake telegram bot scam going around. They’ve made 3 accounts now as the first 2 have been banned and deleted. It’s all a fake scam
Star Wars without the expanded universe would be just another movie franchise. The expanded universe writers created a universe full of wonders with passion and enthusiasm, into their work they put their soul and in doing so they gave a soul to star wars. The expanded universe is exciting, fascinating and full of wonder and that's why it is superior to Disney's mediocrity. We have Grandmaster Luke Skywalker!
@@Zeb0101 Taken from the EU and twisted to provide marketing in a time of society where inclusiveness and female representation is at an all time high, although the way they went about doing this was all wrong and if they had thought about it more with a detailed story, than it would've been liked more. Rey is extremely powerful for no reason, Finn should be paralyzed at worst or dead at best, Kylo Ren is a stupid character that might have killed the New Republics Jedi Temple, yet wields a lightsaber as if it were heavy as a sledgehammer (I know lightsabers are heavy, but if you go toe to toe with an entire fledgling jedi temple and win, you've gotta be quicker), absolutely terrible lightsaber duels that displayed no skill, and much much more.
That was definitely a lot more obscure stuff than most "obscure SW lore" videos & lists, which tend to cover stuff from old WEG-Era source books, bad novels from the 90's (Waru seldom fails to get a mention), and crap from the Droids and Ewoks cartoons (and sometimes other 80's media too). And of these, I was aware of the Charon and the Sorcerers of Rhand, but not in detail.
I knew the Charon existed (thanks to the RPG sourcebook "The Ultimate Alien Anthology") but most of the details were new. The Sorcerers of Rhand I knew from "Luke Skywalker and the Shadows of Mindor", and from the "Jedi Academy Training Manual" RPG sourcebook. The Jeby was news to me, though as you described it I was thinking "That sounds like it was made by a small child", which turned out to be more or less exactly true (although 7 is probably a little older than what most would class as "small child" )
After heard of Charon, I am surprised nobody, aside from the Dread Masters, ever thought of committing omnicide against the entire galaxy to put an end to all sorts of conflicts.
Ya know a piece of lore I wish was in this video? The Five! Now THEYRE obscure. By the way, I love your videos so much, they give me everything I need out of regular Star Wars lore. Also, hello from the Stupendous Wave Team!
Ive liked the story in which a Tusckan raider became a jedi and of course everything within the E.U. after return of the jedi. The war with the vong along with Jason's fall to the dark side was an amazing arc. Also events after that like Luke and his journey with his son Ben when the Mother returns and jedi start going insane.
1.) The Jerby: It's cool that there were other contests and the like where fans got to create something to become canon. The closest thing I ever heard of before this video was that contest to pick that Jedi to be in the 2003 Clone Wars Mirco series, where the Wolf Jedi won. 2.) The Charon: Huh, I'm guessing Brother Eye was a big fan of these guys. Now it makes so much sense why in the DC comic Future's End he converted most of Humanity into cyber spider people. LOL. Also, as for the obscure lore I know, compared to you Geetsly and your great network, I don't know much. The most I know are a few obscure characters here and there. Such as the Grand Moff Naomi Ddargon, who I only know of because I looked up Grand Moffs on Wookiepedia looking for a decently obscure ruthless one for a fanfic I made, and also Clone Trooper Wildfire a member of the Wolfpack that fought against the Empire, because I looked up as many Clones that either disobeyed Order 66 or we're forced to do it but realized later it was wrong and joined the fight against the Empire because I'm very interested in that stuff.
The Jeby could be Abaloth force droppings floating about in the dark force sewer system of the outer rim. Tentacle creatures are the worst to me. The potential to force penetrate my face openings for probing sounds bad. Like really bad.
I had heard of the sorcerers and knew quite a bit (but not all) about the charons, but besides that this really was some very interesting and obscure info
before you insult the Jeby here is some back ground information on Paul Rice. He was a second grader studying in USA missuouri and had a learning disability although he did not actually win the contest he was given an honorable mention.
Know about the Sorcerers of Rand but I wasn’t aware of their full history. As for the other two the first one was most obviously made by a child. The last one was a bit bleak but I’m glad that some Charon got out.
*Geetsly casually talking about one of Star Wars' many death cults* *Me saying to myself* Wow that guy (@ 9:59) has a chin that could hit a home run and a forehead to mount the scoreboard on
I knew a little of everything so thank you for the vid. I love everything even the 1st one but with my head canon of that first one. I didn’t know to much of anything until I saw this vid so thanks again this is one of the reasons I love Star Wars.
The second and the third I knew. First I didn't. Recognized the two I did from WEG star wars ttrpg sourcebooks. They are, imho, criminally underappreciated as lore sources considering their impact behind the scenes and their thoroughness. Example, when Zahn was tasked with revitalizing the brand with The Thrawn Trilogy, the company sent the rpg in response to the author's request for setting information. He had access to everything else, but the rpg books were laid out in a way and we're so detailed in the minutiae that they were even mentioned by the author in interviews. Also, random shit from them have shown up in the TV series on Disney so, I mean they're still getting referenced.
Yeah the weird polka dot sentient from rainbow is quite a new one to me. Never heard of them. Must be annoying to have to suck your dots up everytime you laughed too hard. the kid in me chuckled a bit there.
the coolest part about SW EU is that all of it was added to the story as a labor of love. So, it became deep and nebulous like the web of myths in ancient times with endless side tales added over time. SW is truly a modern myth.
TYVM for all your hard work. You all fill in the blanks and keep me going back to Audible to listen again for things I missed, completely. I just finished up the Fate of the Jedi series and overall I must say I am impressed with the story as a whole. Not really sure how Obi Wan was able to archive his account of the monolith encounter when they were all mind wiped. Back to you guys! However, it opened up the possibilities of furthering the spreading threat of the Sith as well as keeping the Imperial Remnants skulking about the galaxy. MOSTLY I really dig the Hapan Consortium. If you care to make a video on that story that would be cool. Telling the tragedy of the death of that great story line could help the fan base to keep the pressure on Dis to revitalize it. Spin off it. Mash it up in a blender and serve it over ice....what ever. The Jacyn-Ben-Rey conjunction by way of rape focused inbreeding of characters by Disney was shameful. Not to mention the complete exclusion of several clan Solo members. It is all cannon now so, oh well. I just really like Tenniael Ka Jo and her Rancor tooth light saber. A FING RANCOR TOOTH for a handle lightsaber with a teal colored blade got me. I mean she had to kill the thing first, right? Allana (Hapan Princess) is a seriously cool little powerhouse of a character with tons of potential, and she has a pet Nexu. (the creature that went after Padme in the pit on Geonosis in E.2). Their ships are interesting. I like the cruiser design.
In a legends star wars book called the crystal star there was a a star circling a blackhole. The star was dead and had turned to crystal. Luke had gone to a station near the crystal star and in the book it says that the vibration of the crystal star had a nullifing effect on the force. It blocked his ability to use the force. Only when he was far enough away could he use the force again.
3:09 i’m terrified. I think this is one big trick bu the creature to make u happy all the while your in a dream state and it’s eating you, I’m staying the hell away from this place
You guys are Aussie lore legends. I thought I knew obscure til I saw this. Never heard of rainbow planet or first creature, or Charon before. Interesting. First creature was one literally designed by a kid in a alien design competition. To be honest it looks like it was designed by a kid, just saying .Sounds like he named the planet it was from too? But I suppose that's Lucas and his child like quality. And what kept him kind of creative , full of wonder and imagination to imagine and build the Star Wars verse in first place. Personally I'm far more appreciative of the more adult vibe Star Wars like Mandolorian, the series that literally got me back into SW. Yeah have to say not much I don't know about Mando lore now. And definitely knew about Warriors of shadow, (Da Wherda Verda) Taung sisterhood. They have me a bit fascinated for sure. To me they are a long lost link to the ancient Taung and the earliest ,truest Mandolorians. Far as I know they still live in their own self contained galaxy , red nebula. That is contained , shielded by whatever force abilities, dark spells they have sealed it off with. Cause nothing seems to get in or out of their galaxy without their consent. The sorcerers of Rhand that is I mean. They are very interesting to me. Cause as a devout Mando when comes to SW verse, they are the very last of the known Taung. And immensely powerful with dark side force abilities and secrets that could serve , make stronger the bravest Mando's willing to make pilgrimage to see them, pay homage. Got a head canon, well idea there should, could be a new zealot religious Mando cult, that would make pilgrimage to Sorceress of Rhand world. To visit , worship and learn from them at least once in their lifetime. A pilgrimage of bravery for only the most worthy and devout Mando's would make it a rite of passage. I dunno, just something I thought would be cool , and add on to Mando culture ,lore . Like not mandatory for all, but for the ones willing to do it. Become the Taung sorcerers acolytes , learn and meditate on their knowledge and abilities given. Either stay there with them ( if chosen ) or make scared pilgrimage once and go back and tell the rest of their clans to make the pilgrimage etc. Actually getting there to their world is a dangerous task I hear. And the sorcerers themselves, can choose to enslave , torture , make you a plaything or kill you on a whim etc .Just an idea for a new and and expanded Mando lore I thought would be cool.
Can we have a video about the Sorcerers of Tund? We know they’re a dark side cult splintered off from the old Sith Empire, but we have so little information on what they are and how their organization ran itself.
there is one really obscure fact ive seen no channel cover and ive never been able to find a answer to. if you do a part 2 can you cover super obscure kyber crystal facts? what ive always tried finding out about is red kyber crystals im not talking the sith bled/synthetic ones, but rather red jedi kyber crystals that attuned with the wielder in the force and became red. there has been about 5 or 8 in legends and 1 or 2 in cannon but never any reasons mentioned. only thing we know is the only person known with traits didnt ever use her saber in combat in the high republic days and was a master negotiator and terms dealer AND when sith started returning the few jedi swapped crystals by either aquiring new ones or having fellow jedi aquire them for them as they worried theyd get another red crystal
The second one is fairly interesting, but... it's honestly not surprising many or most of us haven't heard of "a seven-year-old made this" and "a murder-suicide cult of reality-displaced spider centaurs." These absolutely qualify as dark corners of fandom that we should continue ignoring to avoid embarrassing the people who came up with them.
The Charon sound pretty cool though, and I'd like to see them explored more in other Star Wars media. But the Jeby, yeah that's typical 90s Star Wars EU cringe
If you are not truly fanatical, can you really call yourself a fan? Now this is a rare facts video I can appreciate. An obscure fact I think I know is that Obi WAN’s droid in AotC is called R4-P17… I guess it’s kind of obscure even though it appears in a movie.
