Why do so many Star Wars planets end with "-ooine"? | Star Wars Explained 

It's clearly because Prof Ooine was the most active explorer to name so many planets after himself, and something he randomly came up with.

Hey Eckooine I absolutely loved the vidooine, persooine, signing offooine

I loved the Dawn of the jedi comics explaining what tatooine was like before the glassing

Ecktooine

I don't know why but when I heard you say that you looked at the essential guide I tought of a dog with a book in hand, a pipe in his mouth and a baby on the other.

It's like asking why there's so many countries that end with "-stan"

#AskEck what is your opinion on the rule of two? Was it more effective than the old Sith doctrine, or did it lead to their downfall?

You are one of the very few Star Wars RU-vidrs worth watching :)

Best mainline mechs: UN Spacey(SDF Macross) Earth Federation(UC Gundam) The Clans(Battletech) The Terran Dominion(StarCraft).

Eckartooine sounds like a genuine planet if you say it enough times

UNSC (post Covenant War) vs The New Republic vs the Terran Dominion vs The Principality of Zeon

Hey, if it works, then Echarts can provide the purpose, but if Tarkin listened to Leia about Dantooine, then it would be subtracted 1 ooine

T-70 X-Wing VS E-Wing PLEASE!!!!

Personal shield technology compared Dune Halo Mass Effect and Star Wars

Ooine is clearly a cult in the Star Wars galaxy it only makes sense.

Eckharts Ladder Can you do a Battle Breakdown on the Liberation of Coruscant during the Yuzhan Vong War

Thank you Eck for answering a question I didn't know I had!

I rarely dislike. I just dont hit the like button on a vid if i dont like it. I have to be pretty offended or think its absolute garbage for me to unlike. Hence what on earth is wrong with this vid? I just dont understand why the dislikes. Why do people dislike it? Its so strange.

hey eck i just wanted to thank you for posting these silly and in-depth star wars videos. your channel really gives me a sense of the star wars community as a whole, and its great to see that. Your awesome theme songs in the background (resonance specifically) and your overall high video production value really add to the star-wars-like feel of the videos. also your niche that you've found with the star wars youtube community is impressive as you're the only youtuber that goes into the starships in-depth; this was my main reason for subscription. keep it up, you're doing well.

Literally yesterday was going mad trying to figure this out and having problems with googling it. Thank you.

Good video man!! I find subjects like this very interesting.

Just when I think you can't surprise me with a video topic for the week you do and that's why I love you man, great video and thank you sir....

Notifications are so broken I just checked channel and saw it and I thought to myself WHY DID I NOT GET THE NOTIFICATION

Don't forget about the prefix Nar and the suffix Nemoidia, as in Nar-Shada and Cato-Nemoidia. Both illustrate who colonized or at least inhabitted them, either Hutt or Nemoidian.

I think this is my favorite video of yours yet! I like the idea that “Tatooine” was derived from the Jawaese name, it was picked up by a Republic explorer, and stuck with it to describe similarly barren worlds.

Can you do a video on which faction has the best training program for their general infantry. CIS (b1 or superbattle droids) Republic (clone troopers of any class), Empire (standard stormtrooper) or the Covenant (Elite/Brutes).

This is a darn good video! Very sound and in depth!

#askeck There has been one thing that has always puzzled me when I look at the Star Wars galaxy map. In episode I, everyone takes off on the Nubian from Naboo wants to go to Coruscant. Not having enough hyperdrive matter to get there they say they have to stop on Tatooine, but even considering hyperspace lanes, Tatooine is not even close to being along the way to Coruscant. Surely there were other choices along the way where they wouldn’t have been noticed? I understand that they wanted to be incognito and all but surely there were better choices along a more direct route to Coruscant? Thanks in an advance to anyone that can enlighten me to the answer.

Very nice video! I would consider myself a big star wars fan but I don't spend that much time learning new things about it these days so this video was really awesome for me. What sounds the best to me is that republic explorers named the planets and in cases like tatooine took insperation from the native language sort of like Manhattan.

Your Star Wars videos are lovable, Eck. Keep up the good work! By the way, can you please do a video about your favorite Order 66 Jedi survivors?

Tatoomeme

The dog at the end. It always gets me!

Love this content sick days get better with this

Than you Eckhart's Laddooine, very cool!

I think Lucas wanted to play with Finnish suffix -inen, like Tolkien did. It can be used for surnames, placenames, nouns, adjectives, origin of people etc. For example, if you have "sade" - which means "rain" - and add '-inen' to it, it becomes "sateinen", which means "rainy". Tolkien used "-nen" for instrumental in Quenya.

Please do a video on the perfect fleet/army for other sci fi universes. Also the Yuzzhan Vong vs the Necrons in an all out war would be a good video

This was great!

Watching your videos and Star Wars Reading Club's videos makes me realize how much I don't know about legends.

Hey Eck awesome vid love your work. Idk if it was just me but I didnt see the link for the other vid you mention at the end there.

Amazing scholar!

DUDE MY QUESTION GOT ANSWERED IM SO HAPPY

Thanks for the video good sir

Thank you for this

#AskEck first of all your videos are absolutely amazing . Second , what is your favorite star wars vechicle and third you should make a video showing us your star wars collection

OMG IM EARLY FOR ONCE, love your vids btw im a huge star wars nerd and I'm learning so much

Yo, love the video! In the thumbnail, the planet you used for "Deltooine" is a photo of Pluto from the Horizons probe. Just some real-life space facts I thought y'all would appreciate :)

Ord as in Ord Mantell etc. stands for Ordnance/Regional Depot which were planets used as Military outposts during the republic's expansion

this video is soo arsooine its glorious!

I wonder if "-ooine" is meant to designate the terminus of an old trade route. Tatooine is described as a galactic backwater, but we know that at least as late as the Cold War, it was considered a world of at least enough significance for the Republic and Sith Empire to contest it. By the time of the Galactic Civil War, Dantooine is considered "remote", but at least as late as the Great Galactic War, it was an important world to the Jedi, and in fact, "The Essential Atlas" identifies it as the endpoint of the Myto's Arrow trade route. Klatooine is at or near the terminus of the Kessel Run. Cardooine and Minntooine were remote enough to be used for the construction of important, clandestinely developed spacecraft for the Rebel Alliance and CIS, respectively, yet clearly were also historically trade worlds, judging by the use of wood from Cardooine in the Imperial Palace and the presence of the Commerce Guild on Minntooine. Basically, the common denominator is that these worlds are connected to galactic civilization but exist at its farthest-flung reaches. I think "-ooine" means "end of the line", in some language or another.

Love your work as always eck keep up the good work!

6:10 "and glass Tatooine." Did I hear that right? Eck must be thinking of Halo.

Hey Eck for a video I think it would be awesome if you covered where in the galaxy all of the planets that Starkiller visited are! It'll probably be a short video by itself, so if you do use this, feel free to expand on the video game series or Galen Marek however you like. I just love The Force Unleashed and I geek out whenever someone can get me talking about it. I hope you see this, and have a nice day :D

Cam you please do the Old Republic Interdictor vs A Dreadnaught Class Heavy Cruiser. I've been asking for a year straight. Also a great video as always

His research strategy is amazing

Royal Guard brawl! Which scifi faction has the best honor/praetorian guard, Sangheili Honor Guard (Halo), Imperial Royal Guard (Star Wars), Imperial Sardukar (Dune), Theron Palace Guards (Gears of War)?

Zim the Despot! Yes! I have read the Solo Adventures Bollux was my favorite character though his friend Blue max isn't far behind

Hey Eck, back again to ask you to do an Elite Dangerous ships overview sometime. People love the idea. Attempt #41 #AskEck

Could you do a list of all the uninhabitable planets and moons in the galaxy?

Hope you still are considering doing a video on Gears. Gears has a surprisingly complex and dark lore for a game with muscle dudes and chainsaw guns.

#AskEck What do you think would have happened if Anakin hadn't interfered with Windu's arrest of Palpatine? I've heard other's opinions on the topic but wanted to know what you thought.

The opening song to this channel is always an endorphin rush

Singular biome planets used to make little sense to me when I thought about them but now it does because when you think of it, Mars has a singular biome and so do Uranus and Neptune.

Hey Eckhart thx for always Rokkin great content and debate! U RoKK!

I never realized this until now

ever since that jedi academy mission where you fight boba fett on ord mantell while bombing old munitions I always associated the Ord prefix with ORDinance

Video Idea: How life began is star wars universe

Maybe the best theory about -ooine would be that it comes from a combination of the other theories: Maybe since Tatooine was the first to be incorporated into the Republic, the Republic adopted the Jawa name for the planet. But then, later on, they discovered Tatooine used to be a Rakatan world, and that there were other former Rakatan worlds out there which the Republic had decided to colonize. So from then on out, the Republic started using the Jawa "-ooine" suffix for every former Rakatan world that joined the Republic. Works for me!

I bet you make eye contact with that dog.

Love ur vid

As a linguistics nerd, I loved every second of this.

I know you'll get to this in the finale of the Vong sub-series. Won't stop me from going through the motions though. Anyways: Can you breakdown what is by far the largest space battle in the entire franchise? *The* *Battle* *of* *Yuuzhan'tar!* I have made this request: one-hundred-eight times.

Ord was one of my favorites. I forget who it was that named planets or where I found it, but it roughly means fort.

Shout out for mentioning Nashville

I feel way too excited about the fact that Eckhart used Nashville as an example

#AskEck Do you think Mace Windu could actually have beaten Palpatine? Or was Palps holding back in order to create a scenario in which Anakin betrays the Jedi Order?

Whoa I whatch as soon as I got the notification

Can you do a vid on all Known Star Destroyer names

If I remember correctly, I think I remember a 2007 starwars.com article saying it means "twin mooned" also most of them are hutt controled and often enslaved primative natives like the klatooine and the dantu. Dont know if thats still cannon but hey food for thought.

Do a video on all the major super powers, or if you've already done a video like it could you link it?

Androids Compare: Cyberlife, Yorha, Skynet and Weyland Yutani PLEASE!!!!!!

Can we get an episode on why star wars planets all have the same gravity? Even when they are objectively different in size? (Eg, nar shaada and nal hutta)

#AskEck What "plague" species (flood, tyranid ect) would be the best bio weapon if controlled in a Weyland Yutani corporation style.

Can you cover something like the cost of Vadar’s suit?

Happy Hallooine

Please for your next video do 3 unsc paris class frigate vs 1 venator stardestroyer

Where´s that link you talked about to the video where you covered what would´ve happened if Thrawn survived?

Ord is short for ordinance. It means that the planet was originally settled by the Old Republic military (mainly navy) as a ordinance depot. Eventually the front lines or military priorities would shift and the military would abandon the outpost, leaving behind a large number of warehouses and buildings just sitting ready for habitation. Obviously this is a huge jump on colonization and many worlds were picked for colonization just because of a ready-made infrastructure. The source for this is the Star Wars role-playing game-especially the Worlds of the Galaxy Sourcebooks- I believe it is in the second one.

Havnt been giving you enough love

Eckhart, which sci-fi faction has the best Space Station? Compare Star Wars' Death Star with Halo's High Charity, then with Warhammer 40k's Blackstone Fortress & finally with Mass Effect's The Citadel.

I just watched the clone wars episodes where col. Weaver Gascon and his droids save the military meeting. What wouldve happened if the cruiser blew up later on?

You should do a video on sifi factions and where they lie on the 5 types of civilization scale

#AskEck which is better, the delta7 or the ehta2 interceptor? DELTA7 VS EHTA2 INTERCEPTOR

I spent over half this video hearing Eckhart say "Ricottan Empire" and wondering why the hell the Star Wars EU had an empire named after cheese. Also, extra trivia: the "Ord" prefix signifying a military actually originates as an acronym: Ordnance/Repair Depot (or at least that was the case at one point, that may have been retconned away since I learned that).

I like to think we live on Earthtooine, or Soltooine, since Sol ("sun") is what sci-fi writers like to call our sun.

Old news, but interesting. 1980’s book had it goes back to the original colonies of these planets

I don't know about the others but Tatooine may just be a Latinised (or whatever the in-verse equivalent is) version of "related to the Tatoo Stars." Like how the Latin word "Canine" means "related to the Canis genus." Maybe, it's the suffix we should be concentrating on!

2 of the first 3 planets mentioned in Star Wars ended in Ooine

#AskEck great video I never really wondered about the "ooine" thing but this has peaked my interest, also 6th try but do you think there were any pros to imperial rule compared to other factions in the star wars galaxy I would like to hear your opinion on this topic.

#askEck Did the vong have any sort of 'tanks' or 'armoured vehicles'

#askeck What does a Jawa look like under the cloak? Perhaps I’ve missed it, but I’ve never seen this explained anywhere. Anyways, great job on all your vids. They are always fun to watch.
