Could u make a video on the different ways aliens were persecuted under the empire, or something like which aliens were more prosperous then others.

Actually, it might not have been that many. The transfer of pathogens between species is very rare, and aliens and the pathogens they are susceptible to would have had very different evolutionary pathways compared to us and our pathogens.

@@pranavmadala2561 I disagree. If those species can breed, surely there are sufficiently similar biological reasons (like DNA / RNA analogues) for both conception and infection. We even caught public lice from sex with gorillas.

@@rajasmasala I just assumed humans were banging aliens around the galaxy and not making babys.

And with their high int stats and a more advanced crafting ability that seems to have no defined limit other than the human's own mastery and skill, they can create complex tools and mounts capable of augmenting their stats to immense levels to match and surpass builds that would have easily levelled them.

@@justsomeguy1014 Indeed.

Almost anywhere? You must mean almost anywhere between sea level and about 3km high. Minimal accommodation? You must mean minimal accommodation beyond two to fifty liters of drinkable water per person per day, plus as much water as necessary to grow food.

@@sanjaymatsuda4504 That's only for the current build that humans can reach. Given time, they'll be able to learn the incredibly useful "Terraform" ability, which would allow them to shape their environment so that it would be a better place to set up high-tier nests in...or spec in enough points in both the "Engineering" and "Architecture" branch of their Crafting ability to unlock "Underwater Infrastructure". As for the water problem, they already have methods of converting undrinkable water to drinkable water, it's just that it isn't employed on a scale that would make the water crisis nonexistent.

I disagree. I think humanity is exceptional in a number of ways. A hardy construction, and ability to keep going even when in extreme environment makes humanity on the up and up. Add in the simple fact that humans are creative, and industrious and you have a chemical mixture set to success.

@@irontemplar6222 I agree, but its all relative. This is the case within the Star Wars universe, but perhaps in our reality, we are some where on a spectrum of intelligent species that have existed within the universe, all having varying degrees of these attributes that you mentioned. Ego tells us that we are at the top of the list, but reality tells us that we are a sample of one and have absolutely no idea of the potential intelligences out there.

@@marsbase3729no apparently its the opposite. Because 99% of the time we cant seem to create a fantasy or science fiction race without them immediately being humans, but better in most subjects, and occasionally worse than us. We fail to acknowledge our own abilities, because we think they are and would be the standard if not inferior. also your own argument can be used aginst you for all we know the rest of the galaxy is full of dumb races, and that's why we have received no contact. because they are still kicking around in the stone age. But that's the Femie paradox for you.

@@irontemplar6222 I'd argue that Umbarans are smarter than humans, but are less willing to explore and advance. Zygerians are just as smart But, they made a lot of people hate them with their slave trade. Rakatans are smart but, they made a lot of toxic decisions that made them hated throughout the galaxy and put them back into a stone age. Twileks are just as smart But, often end up being slaves. Kel Dor are smarter than most humans imo because they tend to be more collective, focused, and rational. Mon Calamari are smarter than humans, but their biology makes them less adaptable on land.

@@irontemplar6222 your strongest sith lords (before darth vader) aren't exactly human, theres nothing exceptional about them if you look into the past.

We have gigantic books about doing the reproductor act without actually reproducing

I like this theory

If a colony was placed on Earth we abould be able to notice it in the groups of amino acids we use. And we share tons of DNA with other species and have common ancestor species that are millions of years old

Because we have conclusive proof that we evolved from earlier life forms

@Christine Taggart Well if an ancient text says it it must be true. Who would lie in an ancient text?

@Christine Taggart I think you misread something. A common hypothesis for abiogenesis (the origin of life from non-living chemical compounds) is that some amino acids that life uses/needs came to earth in meteorites. But if DNA came from outer space that would undoubtedly confirm the existence of alien life, albeit bacterial life. So trust me, no DNA of ours came from outer space

Possibly or my opinion is most likely because of pure coincidence combined with humans head start in technology and their history and pressure to adapt and expand and other alien species had no need to do so because courisaunts history was violent human nations or at the time the zhell must have fought each other and fought the tuang evidently the zhell won because had they lost the would be drivin offworld like the original mandalorians aka the tuang so the zhell won and possibly felt the need to survive by expanding leading to there dominance and itd probably be no different with an alien species, just like naturally humans are more adaptable, horny and so on in everything else than some species NOT ALL but some species and some other species like tugruta or sith can be more so at all those and possibly have more potential than humans its a massive universe out there and even then beyond that the multiverse think about it. Of course just all my opinion.

Humans are slow breeders and woman are susceptible to dying in child birth. Our hips narrowed and heads enlarged making it difficult to give birth compared to our mammalian relatives. Our bodies are not particularly adaptable. Sure we can wear clothes, but so can any other species. We are born and live naked with our fragile skin exposed to the elements. We overcome this with our intelligence. Your point on teamwork is valid though, we are very social creatures. Realistically, if we were looking at purely biological reasons for humans success in Star Wars, Plagues's description wouldn't be too far off. Brains, team work, and murder, that's humanity's motto.

They would say the same thing about us.

Star Wars is actually a fictional universe

@@matthewtuckman4447 that's why he said would.

Convergent evolution?

@@steppin-razor convergent evolution would only give rise to a species that "looks" human or actually only similar to a human. Twi'liks,Zarbaks & say the Turguta would be examples of convergent evolution. So would other bi pedal species. Genetically they shouldn't even be able to breed with a human unless humans & other humanoids in Star wars have a common origin(but hey this is sci fi right...Captian Kirk probably has lil green kids accross the galaxy himself so its possible guys like Han & Lando have half human love children accross the Star Wars galaxy also) Also humans should have specieted over the 100's of thousands of years spent in vastly differnt climates with no contact to each other to the point that offspring would be nearly impossible. Humans have covered the globe but also come from a small base population that has intermingled genetically for the last 100k years our more. But back to convergent evolution. Bats & Birds are examples of convergent evolution. The Wolf & the extinct Tasmanian Wolf is another example. Whales & Sharks are another. They only look similar because they evolved in similar habitats(yeah i know im over sciencing the Star Wars universe

Aliens in fiction: just give it a different forehead

Blaine R. Boob jobs are expensive but people still keep that business going financially 😋

Especially back in 1977

Uh huh

God I hate answers like this. No shit. But everyone is here for a lore-friendly explanation.

Humans are actually wildly frail, barely adaptable to our own planet without gear, preparation, etc. Held up by our intelligence and opposable thumbs. Essentially fine dexterity (ability to manipulate tools, etc) and highly developed intelligence, is why we dominate Earth. In Star Wars we’re pretty much biologically one of the weakest races.

@@krawr2187 biologically frail yes, but he mentions other species that are far less resilient and suspectible because of their own sensitive and flawed immune systems. Weak yes, but a bit more resilient then a lot of other species that exist in the SW universe.

Sergio Ruiz the Chiss are literally an example of forced evolution by the environment and our ability to just "Get Good" at living in such environments 👌

That's true especially if you look at humans on other video games.

@@krawr2187 yes, individually. IMHO it's the group, the community that makes us strong. E pluribus unim: one from many. A dozen firefighters can perform miracles. You often see aliens alone and humans in clumps. Han, Chewie, Leia, and Luke hold a rather impressive set of talents that mesh well.

@@DraconimLt Disregarding any morality, any species that can fight and/or hunt Wookiees is worthy of respect.

@@CatoNovus I get what you mean, but I don't think 'respect' is the right word lol. As for Trando's, I don't hate the entire species or anything, just the slavers and individuals like Bossk. Besides, while trandoshans look cool, I think the Noghri are cooler. 😁

@@DraconimLt Keep in mind, I don't conflate the concepts of respect and admiration. I respect Darth Vader, but I don't like him. Also, a lot of people like to say those of us who were 10 and under when we first saw RotJ liked it because of the Ewoks and how they remind us of our teddy bears. I didn't care for my teddy, but I did have a plush gator in a polo shirt(which itself, had a stitched-on gator emblem) that I loved, so I'll admit my probable bias on that. I hated the Ewoks. Years after first seeing RotJ, I'd heard that originally the battle of the Second Death Star was going to be over Kashyyk, and felt like we got robbed.

@@CatoNovus I know what you meant by 'respect', but the definitions of respect are: 1) a feeling of deep admiration for someone or something elicited by their abilities, qualities, or achievements & 2) due regard for the feelings, wishes, or rights of others. I think the word 'recognition' works better here, ie. 'worthy of recognition', no sense of a positive (or negative) bias to the term then. You can recognize any quality without approving of it, respect implies a possitive without a qualifier word. As for a battle over Kashyyyk (you missed a 'y' lol), that'd've been cool! Wookies joining the fight? Heck yeah!

@@pastordonkoh7692 to be fair making an alien that's not using makeup and doesn't require an obscene amount of money or just plain cgi can be difficult.

@@pastordonkoh7692 to be fair about specifically the asari in mass effect I don't think they physically look like what they do as stated in some bits of lore because every race sees asari as looking like themselves even when races are radically different from human they all hauntingly perceive themselves in the asari. Spookiest of all this even continues to be the case where the power that hides the asari's true forms also applies to statues on the asari homeworld. But to be fair mass effect actually did have a good deal of diversity of appearences of species of aliens even so far as having walking jellyfish the only real painted human outliers that come to mind though is the quarians (but we don't really know their true body structure outside the suit i don't think) and the asari which may not actually look the way we perceive them.

There would be a common tongue, depending on how politics evolve this will be either English or Chinese, but probably English, since it's already established (or a mix of the two?) and then maybe some other few dialects and languages ascending from languages with a large number of speakers like the Romanistic languages and Germanic and Slavic Languages, with maybe some nowadays disctinct languages like Spanish and Italian mixing and forming a unified new language. I doubt that small distinct languages with only a few hundred or a only few thousand speakers are going to survive, they'll probably go extinct and become dead languages like Latin, with historians learning them so they can understand, from their point of view, ancient texts.
