Weird Star Wars Characters Iceberg Explained 

I love this video so much, it’s ike 75% nonsense. “Gooba the snelmar was a close friend of junta clumpa and loonis maruvish the jamorkinian. He lived on Tawanda and spent most of his life as a gean tramper”

Having a Storm Trooper canonically have gay sex with Tarkin is the wildest Star Wars backstory I've ever heard in all honesty.

Man "from a certain point of view" is insane. The garbage worm is a force user? Tarkin is gay? What is happening

you forgot the most obscure Star Wars character… Indiana Jones

“Proboscis Luke” sounds like some straight up SCP bullshit.

Salacious B. Crumb has always been my favorite random side character because I laugh like him when I'm really drunk

The fact that I knew, like, at least 2/3 of these proves that I have suffered an incomprehensible amount of brain damage at the hands of this franchise. Honestly I think I have grounds to sue George Lucas

Nothing brings me more joy than learning that the goofy little goop alien who was on-screen for 2 seconds total is actually a decorated war hero with 9 dead aunts and a name that's just 38 consonants and the Pi symbol in the middle of it.

Every bar in the galaxy is Glup Shitto city.

Wat Tambor is my favorite glup shitto his unforgettable line “the techno union army is BLEEP BLOOP BLORP at your disposal”

The Bigger Luke theory could easily be explained as being Mark Hamill, Luke's cousin who we meet in Episode 417 of The Muppet Show.

I was NOT prepared to learn that Tarkin was a Stormtrooper Sugardaddy

Always found it really cool and hilarious that almost every background character who has a few seconds of screen time has their own backstory. And is what made me come up with imaginary characters in primary school.

One Glup Shitto that needs to be mentioned is R2-KT! She's a pink colored R2 unit that was built as kind of a Get Well Soon present for a young cancer patient named Katie Johnson, whose favorite color was pink. After Katie sadly passed, R2-KT continued to be used to bring hope and joy to young patients in hospitals, and eventually was brought into canon in several Clone Wars episodes!

Referring to a type of background character as a “glup shitto” is peak comedy and how ill be referring to the background characters in my own life from now on

Tarkin being the sugar daddy of a young stormtrooper aspiring to build a mouse droid racing track on coruscant is the most amazing star wars story I‘ve heard and tbh would fit way more into Thrawns characterisation actually.

I think one of the reasons Glup Shitto type characters are so prominent in the Star Wars fandom is because of the toys. Kenner made SO many characters into figures, regardless of screentime or relevance and Hasbro kept up the tradition when they picked up the line. So people often get attached to these random nobodies because they had a cool toy of them that they went on many imagined adventures with. A personal example for me would be Rum Sleg. Extremely minor background character in The Phantom Menace, but he had an action figure that I loved because of how sick he looked. If you make a sequel to this video, I'd love to see him included.

What I think is funny, Boba Fett is technically a Glub Shitto.

Imagine if, in The Rise of Skywalker, they gave Dathan three eyes and then just...didn't acknowledge it.

TK 421 having a secret relationship with Grand Moff fucking Tarkin is making me lose my mind rn, I can't believe this is real

28:34 Yoda speaks the way he does because he’a one of the oldest living things in the galaxy. One of the oldest functioning droids,Hu-Yang also speaks with the same dialect occasionally which has led fans to believe that Yoda speaks in a older form of galactic basic. Imagine talking to someone who had been born in the 1850’s and how they would kinda speak our language,but in the way it was spoken at the time.

I genuinely don’t understand why people complain about extended Star Wars being “silly” when the mainline stuff has characters called Count Dooku

I find it hilarious how he can say glub shitto so many times without laughing

Even though proboscis luke is kinda silly, the story itself is actually kind of unsettling

I think the best example of a Glup Shitto is by far Nien Nunb, a weird alien that an average fan would probably be like “ohhh… that guy.”

What a missed opportunity to not call them "The Knights who say Ren".

Bro imagine getting assassinated by a hyper intelligent pitbull

I cannot believe I just watched a feature-length Glup Shitto iceberg, bravo

Tried explaining this concept to my family and they got mad at me for saying "The Nephelim are the Glup Shitto of the Bible"

A great example of a glub shitto character is the skull that Luke used to smash the control panel in the rancor pit. They went back and made an obscure story of the character and how he ended up in jabbas rancor pit, leaving his skull behind for Luke to use. (I haven’t finished the video if this character is mentioned in it)

I love how Proboscis Luke is capitalized. Like, it's not just Luke with a trunk, it's a whole distinct alter ego that needs his own name.

I'm forever impressed and baffled by people's ability to create goofy sounding names.

STARWEIRDS LOL Literal jumpscares floating around in space.

Glup Shitto is the kind of fandom terminology I live for, along with like "poor little meow meow" and "blorbo" I love when we just make shit up

Glub Shitto Lore is like finding a grand tower, easily taller than most manmade structures, but having it buried so deep to the point that only its uppermost apex peaks from beneath the dirt. Lateral Story telling at its most marvelous in terms of scale, but done in such a way that feels pointless, anachronistic, and confused for even existing; but still infinitely fascinating and awe inspiring for its mere existence.

Dude, I remember when I was younger I had this book called the Star Wars Character Encyclopedia, and a good chunk of the characters at the beginning of this iceberg were in it. Every time one of them showed up, I popped off a little bit cuz I actually _knew_ who they were! What a weirdly nostalgic experience. Awesome video man! :D

I am so happy that the death sticks guy is now in a happy family with a child

Great video, some of my favourites that didnt make the cut here 1. Orn Free Taa 2. Dexter Jettster 3. The Galactic Jizz Wailers (precursor to the Max Rebo Band) 4. IG88 and all the single scene bounty hunters from Empire Strikes Back 5. Captain Antilles

shaak ti also features prominently in the 2003 2d clone wars cartoon, where she's one of very few jedi to survive a battle against grievous, who was significantly more powerful in that cartoon

I can’t believe for Nien Nunb you didn’t bring up his playable appearance in Battlefront 2015. The fan reaction to his reveal alongside Greedo was hilariously negative, until they actually came out and instantly became fan favorites. I think the game really helped launch Nunb into the modern spotlight

The fact that Klod was a case of mistaken identity.... Like mistaken for whom?? Like imagine, if it was just a human looking character... named Claude. And therein lay the mixup.

A personal theory about Jedi Bob: I think, Jedi Bob shouln't be a human, but a Mirialan instead, so when Lego would do another figure of him, they wouldn't have to change his skin.

This video just makes me hope we still get “A certain point of view” novels for the prequels and even sequels! So many jedi, background characters, and aliens that deserve some more love and stories in the background of the movies

I love that you stayed in character for the entire Jeans Guy segment

Every copy of star wars a new hope is personalized

The Cantina Aliens will always be my favorite group of Glup Shittos. My dad showed me Star was when I was 5, in preparation for seeing Episode 3 in theaters. 4-6, then 1 and 2. I know everyone has their favorites, but I think everything about episode 4 is great. Everything felt alien, familiar, fantastical, and normal.

The reveal of even more secret versions of Luke Skywalker at the end of Tier 6 had me rolling.

I can't believe my favourite character in all of fiction Lobot wasn't in the video

You know you’ve watched too much Starwars when you can name everyone on the thumbnail.

I am In shambles that the clone trooper who punched that battle droid Was not here

I really like this video! It’s refreshing having a calm Star Wars RU-vidr who covers both canon and legends without inserting “hot takes”. I love the music too!

Bro, the Klaud section gave me a good belly laugh I haven't had for a while. Thank you.

ive been watching this in the background and fucking LOST it when bigger luke showed up and then died when proboscis luke showed uo right after; this is now my favorite iceberg video. maybe one of my favorite video on youtube.

As someone who doesn't particularly care about Star Wars, this video really held my attention from start to finish. Hats off to you. EDIT: Corrected a typo.

I can't believe there are people out there who's favorite character is Ben Quadrineros.

Sidon Ithano is one of those characters you know nothing about but absolutely adore because of their fucking awesome character design

This is the perfect topic for an iceberg video

I love that this video isn't hateful towards any particular star wars trilogy. As someone who likes the first 2 sequels films, its almost impossible to find content on star wars that doesn't randomly take time to shit on everything sequels. And even commenting that you like them somewhere gets you in trouble with the prequels police. So yeah, thanks for the excellent video!

37:30 As a kid I got to go to Celebration IV way back in 2007 celebrating the 30th release of A New Hope, my favorite cosplay there was a dude cosplaying as Elan Sleazebaggano that had a cardboard sign hung over his chest saying "Currently rethinking life" Lmao

A rare non - toxic star wars youtuber emerges. Love to see it.

I didn’t realize how many characters had names until I started looking into Star Wars Lego sets

Random thought after hearing the bit about Podracing being banned in the core worlds. Palpatine decides to reinstate it, and promote it. He would enjoy the violence of it, citizens of the empire would have something to distract them, and he also knew it would provoke strong feelings from Vader. Vader decides to enter the race, after palpatine makes several comments about him losing a great deal of his skill, and annihilate everyone. Basically the total opposite to how Anakin raced. 🤔 I'd read that story.

Decraniated Servant is a weird one that even I forgot about

One of the many reasons I love Star Wars is that nearly every singly random character, no matter how much screen time they have or how much they do, has a story behind them.

There is nothing better to me in all of Star Wars than those moments when a certified Glup Shitto goes "hehehehe" 😂 I can't explain why but it's just so funny.

Funny thing about Yoda's iconic speech pattern: in The Empire Strikes Back, he has a LOT of lines where he speaks normal Basic without any weird grammar. It's about 50/50, even. It was the Prequels where he started doing it 100% of the time even when it results in near nonsensical delivery.

The proboscis Luke one had my dying😂

Star Wars fandom is like a hive mind. I’ve never heard of the term Glup Shitto until this video, but based on context clues, I already knew what it meant before you explained it 😂😂

Disappointed that lobot, 4lom, zuckuss, boolio, malakili, and ello asty arent here Also for an extremely obscure character. In return of the jedi there was a cut character that was a man covered in lights and is often called "lightman" and would have appeared in jabbas palace

I kind of thought you’d mention Boba Fett in tier one, maybe as an honorable mention, given that he used to be one of the OG Glup Shittos. Now he’s ascended beyond Shitto status and is just a regular Star Wars character but originally he wasn’t.

Glup Shitto is in every movie and show. They're holding the camera.

Really fun and nice video, though it lacked a few Glup Shittos like the bounty hunters from Ep. V (Bossk, IG-88 etc.) or the dancers/slaves from Jabba's Palace like Oola

I love Glup Shitto! He was in that one scene and just stood into the background! Sooooo cool!

How dare you forget the greatest Glup Shitto of all time: The Clone Trooper who punched a droid

the fact that the Knights of Ren are effectively Glub Shittos is absolutely TRAGIC, oof. great video btw man, very entertaining and funny. this is coming from someone who has generally fallen out of love with star wars as the years have gone, but was still a video i watched till the end. solid iceberg, brother!

The Star Wars fan litmus test is recording how many times someone says "THAT'S MY BOY!!!" during this video.

Teek is so much more than a mere Glup Shitto... Teek is an icon, a friend and a deity. Praise Teek. 🙏

I dream of working on a movie or video and realizing the missing piece of the puzzle to make it a classic is “it needs more glub shittos”

Hammerhead (the Ithorian) was my first Star Wars toy and I was absolutely fascinated by him. Biased, but still one of my favorites.

Live Glup Shitto reaction

I run a lot of D&D games and the Glup Shitto method is a lifesaver. Give them one weird feature and players will latch on like bebes to a teet. My go to rule for background character interactions is the briefcase woman from Total Recall. He gets a call from someone using a payphone outside, who leaves a case for him to collect. But when he goes to do it, some lady has grabbed it, yells "finders keepers" and he has to awkwardly yoink the case from this old woman in public. It adds nothing to the story, nothing to his character, but it's just something interesting to do in a moment that would otherwise have just been a boring establishing shot. One of my favourite items is the Immovable Rod. There are so many unique uses for it, but my team used it to prop up a sign, which then fell over. When they came back there were kids jumping on and hanging from the floating rod. A good story makes the tiny transitional moments interesting

I feel like strong fandoms with long gaps between official media produces the Glup Shitto phenomenona. I've noticed it in the Helluva Boss/Hazbin Hotel famdom too. "Wow! My favorite character!" *Points at a three pixel shadow that only appears for a single frame*

As an avid reader of the Star Wars visual dictionaries as a kid, my photographic memory immediately remembered about half of these characters. As much as I liked the main characters, I was always highly curious about the less significant characters you’d find around the edges of each page and their roles in the story, maybe because as a kid I was highly observant of small details which is honestly still quite applicable to my life today.

for the next one we need: Zuckuss 4-LOM Hohass Ekwesh Orn Free Taa Sio Bibble Ainlee Teem Mas Amedda Sebulba's Twi'lek twin masseuses Kitster That one B1 from that one comic who gains sentience and runs away The characters from the Store Wars parody The characters from the Hardware Wars parody The characters from Lucas' original "The Star Wars" screenplay Tallie Lintra The Rancor trainer from RoTJ Ima Gun Di Soon Bates Zam Wessel (bonus points if you include Nate Stevenson's "This Was Our Home" comic)

I really hate that every single seemingly irrelevant detail has to be motivated by a justification or some amazing backstory and whatnot, why can't that R5 astro mech just blow up by coincidence and that's it, it's so annoying.

So this was super fun to watch. I thought I knew the story on a lot of these guys but to see you give exposition and history was a real wonderful way to spend an afternoon recovering from a root canal I have this morning!

Fun Babu Frick factoid. JJ Abrams is a fan of electronic music. (He named a planet, Kijimi, after a rare high-quality synthesizer.) There’s a popular underground electronic music group from Germany called Brandt Brauer Frick. It is quite possible, even likely, that Babu Frick’s name is taken from that group.

The phrase "the ever-elusive Glup Shitto" is really something you could only hear in a Star Wars video

This is why when I write Star Wars stories, I struggle to come up with character names. 6:00, 8:50, 10:37, 11:45, 13:47, 14:47, 16:48, 19:42, 21:02, 23:39, 26:39, 27:57, 29:38, 30:51, 32:07, 33:50, 36:15, 37:33, 38:31, 39:24, 41:35,

Proboscis Luke being just actual Analog Horror and unnerving out of nowhere is wild.😂

49:14 a rock being a favorite character by far isn't that glowing review of other characters tho 🤣😭

I really like the way you talk about Star Wars. There’s two canons, they both have their ups and downs and interesting facets

Haven’t finished the video yet but the fact that kix in his red pirate armor is on the thumbnail frickin killed me

9:20 this sounds like an Oneyplays hypothetical made by Zach 😭 Shaak Ti's death by Darth Vader was shown in Lego Star Wars I (and The Complete Saga by extension)

I'm OBSESSED with the alternate concept design for proxy, that would have been so so cool.

i just want to shout out my personal glup shitto, Skoova Stev (the little fisherman from Jedi: Survivor). finding him in random locations across the galaxy was genuinely my favorite part of the game (and i *thoroughly* enjoyed the game)

This is the most interesting and informative SW YT vid I've ever watched, dude. Kudos.

so many Glub Shittos! I'm throwing this in my watch later to fall asleep to tonight, keep up the good work, and glad to see you back

I like the look of that blue elephant guy.

I never liked the wookie Jedi from the clone wars but tbh his return in bad batch kinda made me appreciate his character. It’s always nice to see what happened to characters over the shift from republic->empire
