The SARLACC (STAR WARS Creatures Explained) 

wow that is far worse than I'd ever imagined as a kid. this thing always scared me, but I always thought you'd die pretty fast. it's gotta be the worst death ever concocted. lucas is a scar dude. ha ha.

After the rancor and the sarlacc failed to eat luke, I wonder what Jabba' s third ceature would have been

When i saw it's whole body, i realised it's way more scarier then i thought

Did you know that after Boba Fett escaped his death in the Sarlacc, he learned his lesson to fire at the thing using his ship while he's in orbit in space.

Always reminds me of an Ex Girlfriend....

He protecc He attacc But most impotantly He sarlacc

I actually met the actor who played Boba Fett this weekend. When I asked him about the upcoming Fett movie he told me "best of luck to the actor" taking up his role.

This is a nightmare to me, being claustrophobic. Those drawings are insane.

Sure glad Jango Fett's legacy didn't end in the belly of the Sarlacc. I NEVER knew that it kept it's victims alive within it's stomach with supplied nutrients to slowly digest them for hundreds of years! That makes the victim's death beyond hell! *Shudder*...

Everything about a Sarlacc is horrifying.

The "tongue" is one of the WORST, most POINTLESS additions. A gaping maw filled with teeth and tentacles was horrifying in the best way possible.

it's stupid how they gave it a beak and tongue. an animal of that size living in the desert would indeed be better suited being just a pit. maximum energy conservation

I would be nuking every one of those things from orbit

In the 'Legends' Expanded Universe it was said that the sarlacc could store the memories of the suffering of its prey so it could enjoy their suffering again and again. That makes the creature just as vile as Jabba the Hutt.

It reminds me of a gravemind after hearing about that bit with the memory

I remember reading a wildlife book about star wars that I bought from borders as a kid. Apparently Giant Krait dragons _eat_ sarlacs

Dathomarion witches star wars epxlained

I’d like to point out the one on Felucia was considered The largest and oldest of the Sarlacc race, it being featured in the video game Star Wars the force unleashed, being large enough to grab a full sized rancor and eat it whole with very little effort.

Did anyone mention that the original movie didn't have the tentacles and beak? That was added in the 90s I think to enhance the scene

"This is your last chance, free us...or die". Used to love this scene so much.

That digitalized stuff is pretty lame, I prefer the original.

now that is one evil animal

I had nightmates my entire childhood because of this thing Now I've learn more about it It continues

FCE : No skeletal structure. Also FCE : Shows pictures of a clear skeletal structure. Complete with rib cross sections and limb attachment points.

I feel pity to this monster now that Jabba's dead and probably could no longer feed it.

This... this is hell! THIS IS LITERALLY HELL!!! The idea of finally dissolving into nothing, but still remaining conscious to forever be in pain and agony, while hearing the screams of other victims for all eternity is a hellish fate to be in. Lucky doesn't even begin to describe Boba Fett's situation when he escaped.

I recently watched Return of the Jedi, which is why I looked for videos like this. I can't help but feel a sense of horror and dread the victims of sarlaccs go through after seeing Boba get swallowed whole.

I had no Idea they were so huge!!!! It's an interesting beast.

"It provides its nutrients to its victims, keeping them alive during digestion." I'll take "Huge Stretches to Accomodate for Empty Threats of Thousand Year Digestions that George Lucas Really Didn't Think Through" for $300, Alec!

How can a human with a natural life expectancy of less than 200 years be kept alive for 1000 years? Could this ability be isolated from the rest of the sarlacc? Could be worth alot of money for the bio-weapons-rejuvination division.

If I was a scientist in the SW universe, I would definitely figure out a way to extract one of these creatures into space in order to study every aspect of its physiology.

It almost looks like Graboids are really young Sarlaccs

Can you explain the virus in Cooties (2014)?

The sarlacc reminds me of my sister all it does is eat and complain

Love how when The Mandalorian canonized Boba's survival it simultaneously made up for his gag death AND proved he was the ultimate badass for surviving it.

The only thing I heared that a Sarlaac refused to eat was a Hutt. Not because they were at times kept as 'pets' buy because the Hutt was indigestible. Ironically enough, the Kyrat Dragon (I think that's what its called) could eat a sarlaac if the dragon was big enough

I love how Sarlacc Pit was able to pull down a spaceship, but not Lando Calrissian

Hey, you should do a video on the Gremlins!

A krayt dragon managed to kill and eat one of these. Goes to show how much of an apex predator the krayt dragon is.

This is just unnecessarily terrifying

Could you please do an in-depth video or several on the history and culture of the Mandolorians? They are my favourite culture in all of Star Wars. Anyway best of luck to you.

The original sarlacc didn’t have the worm. It was added in the new edition.

Boba Fett: So awesome and badass not even a sarlaac can kill him. Imagine if he had been a Grey Jedi...

This video is absolutely awesome!😎👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

I thought the beak tongue-mouth thing was oddly cute for such a creature, but now I think it just makes no sense for the design of it. Like the Xenomorphs, what's the point of the main mouth if only the inner mouth could consume their food? Not to mention all the sand & debris that would be trapped in between the mouths & make the sarlacc uncomfortable for the rest of her life.

Bro the The greater Krayt dragon must be HUGE if it a full grown sarlacc

And in an epic twist of fate I got a “digestive advantage” ad right befor Sarlac vid...

the fact it keeps you alive for a thousand years, while you are slowly digested, is like the living embodiment of purgatory. Or waiting in line at the DMV.

Hey Niyat! I have a suggestion for a video. Could you do a video on Tom Clancy's Division Green Poison.

Maybe I missed it, but how did the sarlacci spores get into space?

could you please explore Saren from Mass Effect? He's my fav

Wouldn't it be possible to kill a Sarlacc from the inside?

Possibly supreme comander?

Am I officially the 36th commenter?

Do more star wars species and planets

Nice vid, hope u have a nice day.

I love these star wars creature explained videos 👌

Keeping the victim alive only to digest them was the part that ruined Sarlaccs for me. It's so freaking stupid, it would be a net energetic loss to do so.

These things werre known to be capable of philosophical thought. Cause by obtaining the conciousness of beings who were eaten.

What a load of absolute garbage, even if it’s canon it needs a rethink.

Was the Sarlacc inspired by that sand worm from Dune ?

1000 years of digestion Boba aint got time that

Qué manera de echar a perder las cosas buenas. El nuevo Sarlac parece la planta de La tiendita de los horrores 😖

Why is boba fett a good character now? Wasn't he working for the empire to catch solo?

Rosie's o'Donnell is going to be mad that you didn't get her permission to use her image.

Cool

Kind of like graboids for the younger ones

Where are the last two scenes from? The one of Boba Fett walking and then the scene of him summoning his ship?

dope/awesome video/hope you are having a great day so far too🔥🔥👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Actually, this was called “the sarlacc” because there were smaller ones that could eat a cat, while others could eat 10 people at a time This one was the biggest of the 10 people ones, able to eat 20 people

Nothing more exiting than a day out to visiting the Ballsacc Pit...

I hate the beak that was added, I thought it was much creepier and scarier before.

Honestly, there's nothing left to suggest, or at least I can't think of any. That's a good sign! You guys have explored pretty much everything, that was on our minds. Thank you very much for the effort you put into these videos. It's worth every second of our time. Keep it going!

Love how they used the original Sarlacc for The Book of Boba Fett.

No eyes, lives under ground, hunts by feeling vibrations... Sounds a lot like another sci-fi creature if you ask me

wheres the clip at the end of the video (boba seemingly getting out of the sarlacc and activating his ship) from?

It's doesn't make sense for it to give nutrients to the prey and digest it at the same time.

Perhaps an exploration of magic and sorcery in the star wars universe?

you know, knowing more about these creatures actually made them scary 👀😂

Ok that wasn’t disturbing at all! But very cool, thanks for putting it out.

Your only dislikes are missclicks

I liked it better when it didn't have a.... Mouth? Beak or whatever you want to call it.

kinda makes Luke look like a dick. Most of the guards were biding time to kill Jabba and escape, and instead of simply cutting them all down with his light sabre, he spent most of the fight knocking as many people into the pit, dooming them to a worse fate. Kinda shocked Fett didn't destroy the pit completely afterwards. I read that at best he'd fly in orbit every year and blast the Sarlacc, but never killed it.

Really love your channel! Are you going to do a video on The Zerg and Sarah Kerrigan at some point?

Awesome upload as always Niyat!!! Would you do a video on the Chimera from the Resistance game series if you haven't already my man 😊

Is it just me, or does slowly decomposing prey items that you keep alive for thousands of years just not sound logistically viable?? Like, how many calories and nutrients are they getting from their prey? We only have so much in us And they're expending their own calories and nutrients to keep them alive, far extending past their natural lifespan in some cases I don't know what sense that makes to spend more energy keeping a human body alive for thousands of years to slowly feed off it, because keeping it alive for that long is going to spend far more caloric energy than you'd gain from consuming them It sounds all horrifying and psychologically scary, but it makes no sense unless there's some other form of energy that's being extracted from living beings Maybe some force energy type shit? Hence why they're needed to keep alive? That would explain the sentience being a hive network of sorts of all the living creatures it's consuming It's their collective life force sustaining the sarlacc, not their actual caloric or nutritional input Big things need a LOT of calories, and a creature this size doesn't have enough room in its body to hold and contain the bodies of enough prey alive to sustain itself Especially since its sustaining them at the same time, and fighting them internally in some cases Maybe you need a thousand humans to sustain the sarlaccs weekly nutritional needs, completely arbitrary number but still, then that Sarlacc needs to capture and hold a thousand humans in its body each week, for thousands of years Maybe it goes through feeding cycles ?? Capture all this prey and sorta store it up and hibernate and digest it But it's shown consuming prey whilst it already had ancient, old and recent prey within itself in some of that art. They still need to be utterly full of food during that time though to make it last and not spend energy hunting Could they starve to death if people simply never come visit the hole to get lured in?? Or what if they over feed in an area and there's no lifeforms to eat? So I think it's the life force theory that probably makes the most sense Do sarlaccs also poop?? Where does it go?? How did they get their spores into space to other planets?? Did other species do it for them??I know I'm thinking too much into this, but I'm already interested in the logistical explanations of creatures to be on this channel already I love star wars and grew up with it, but the universe has so many weird implications at times

The original without all the CGI b.s. is still more realistic looking.

That lightsaber took an ETERNITY to fall ....

The sarlac is the same as the talking plant in little shop of horrors

If anyone wants to know how big they can get just play Star Wars the force unleashed

Damn forget sith Lords and Darth sith Lords. Sarlacc is the ultimate manifestation of the dark side

Sarlacc is better without that stupid beak.

Remember when Star Wars had stuff that made you watch videos like this? 3 movies in and not a single interesting monster in the new trilogy....

5:20 Where is this footage from?

Why would it supply it victims with nutrients instead of just finishing them? Wouldn't that waste nutrients it could use on itself?

As a biologist.... all of this is just so wrong :D

Great video today! Could you possibly do the Outbreak virus from the game Rainbow six siege? The outbreak mode was limited so you can't play it now.

That’s such a cool name, where is it from? Or is it not your actual name? Anyways cool video as always

"They feed there victims so they can feed off them " that makes no sense.....omg it eats poop.....

I'm reminded of the level from Star Wars: the Force Unleashed when Starkiller gets stuck in a Sarlaac...
