Yuuzhan Vong (Legends) - Star Wars Minute 

Ha. And it only took Extra Galactic Invaders killing trillions to justify his BS. Moral High Ground. Right.

@@superbrad3716the republic fell for a reason. It was weak, arrogant and didn’t care for its people. When Obi-Wan came back from Tatooine, he didn’t care to return to save Anakin’s mother from the slavers. What moral high ground???

They almost did make it on to the show

+shooter downunder Wait really?! That would have been weird but awesome! :D

+shooter downunder Vongs for Episode 10.

+13Kr4zYAzN13 The vong are actually mentioned in KOTOR 1 when you speak to the Mandolorian. They were scoping out the galaxy for invasion up to 4000 years before they actually attempted it. The Chiss Ascendency was aware of there presence outside the galaxy at least 50 years before the invasion.

Vlad the Inhaler I remember hearing from someone online that Emperor Palpatine was aware of the Vong and was preparing to destroy them whenever the invasion began. I've not read the books yet so I can't confirm if that's true, but it makes for an interesting incite into the plans Palpatine had for the galaxy.

I'd actually pay to see that.

the Clones would have kicked so much ass, but they would have eventually lost. but the larger Jedi Order of that time would have been far more timpressive

Hop Hoppington-Hoppenhiemer it was gonna be an alien abduction type episode

That would have been a huge mistake, much like the vong to begin with

Yea

+WhisperedFlame The vong would probably think they were some kind of Organic gift from thier gods, which would make assimilation very easy

I wonder what would happen if the Yuuzhan Vong meet the Verg.

entire ships being eaten apart

+colebowlin68 also remember the Halo rings wiped the Flood out too. It's just that if the rings missed any flood, such as any that got lucky and the ones being kept for laboratories on the Rings themselves, they wouldn't have anything to feed on during the Dark Period.

Well imagine The Tyranids like the yuuzhan vong they are from another galaxy from which i don't know but i do know that they stripped other galxies of life

Thank you

DejaVoodooDoll Luke was not a Gary Stu in Legends. Gary Stu does not simply mean overpowered.

Too bad that did not happen

Futuristic amish goths.

Justin Alvizo I was about to compare them to Muslims.

PAXperMortem that can work too

Justin Alvizo I compare it with the gringos, they destroy anything that doesn't look like them, has all those social clases and go to other places to mess with others business.

The Turks annihilated the Christian races of Anatolia. The Indians had actual social castes. The Persians were messing with others for centuries before the Romans ever came to power. Piss off racist.

+Jean Philippe Cornay Palpatine knew of the Vong but did he know that they were going to flat out invade the Galaxy in the way they did? If so, that explains why the Empire was so heavily militarized under his rule and why he invested so much in ridiculous weapons of mass destruction like the Death Stars, Galaxy Gun and more.

SinDawg030 yeah, I think that might be more logical. Doing evil for the sake of doing evil seems a bit too childish.

Jean Philippe Cornay Well it makes sense that you would need a giant military to run an entire Galaxy like a fascist police state but seeing the Empire at full strength vs the Vong would be awesome.

+SinDawg030 I remember a line in the Incredible Cross-sections Episode III, that may be a reference to the Yuuzhan Vong as justification for the increasing militarisation of the Imperial Forces.

IonTorch52 Sounds intriguing.

RHi Everythinge e HEHEHE I AM A SUPAHSTAR WARRIA

There is an entire series of Star Wars books called The New Jedi Order.

Well we have the Grysk

bro...

I preferred the Yevethan

Agreed

I think of Hellraiser when I see them. And they worship pain just as the cenobits to. :)

And Alien races such as the zabraks do? Seriously they are just like a more disfigured zabrak sub race.

Nazmi Ahmad I think the Zabrak are more tame than the Yuuzhan Vong.

Louie Kite Some of them.The more brutish warrior/savage ones fight just like them.

they can work as Recurring Villains like Kanjiklub or The Guavian Death Gang.

Somebody have mistaken the lament configuration with a holocron. ;)

Drace90 ye, to me it likeeveryone: (winy voice) the Yuuzhan-Vong don't fell like star warsme: their not from the same galaxy, keep up

james739123 I know, but I kinda like that they don't feel like classic Star Wars. Sometimes a franchise needs some fresh air. I'm not an EU-expert but didn't the empire come back at some point? Seriously, isn't that lazy? Always bringing back the same bad guys. Always some empire or the Sith? The Yuuzhan Vong were atleast creative.

+Drace90 You're right, I liked that they pushed Star Wars out of it's comfort zone with the Vong. About the new canon being "welcome"... Disney's creation of a new "canon" has really only served to further divide the fanbase. Now there are fans of the old canon (now dubbed "Legends") and the new Disney canon. For a lot of older fans, Disney's decision to ditch 35+ years of official continuity does not bode well, and then there are the casuals that will give everything a chance. Why? Because: Disney.

Harborx Well, I would say that's the fault of the fans, not Disneys. I don't see a reason to "choose a side" and fight a fanwar or something. That's only something butthurt overentitled fans would do, who call themselfs the one true Star Wars fans and believe they do something positive with it. (Which strangely reminds me of some of the actual wars that are uneccesarily fought out there.) Let's be honest. The fanbase is broken anyway. It doesn't matter what LucasFilms would decide for Star Wars, because overentitled fans would hate on it anyway and they proved it again and again. Just like right now. LucasFilms still makes all creative decisions for Star Wars, yet peeps hate on Disney as some kind of scapegoat. And who was the scapegoat before Disney bought LucasFilms? Oh yeah, George Lucas. See? These one true fans just can't be satisfied anymore? So why bother? If you ask me, they lost their chance to be taken seriously. I for one can't really blame LucasFilm for the idea to create this big but ultimately closed "old EU"-bubble for the ranting fans who are now more in the way than anything else. And at the same time they go forward with the franchise and build it up for the trusty fans who actually stayed true to the franchise and of course the new generation of Star Wars fans (or "casuals" as you put it) who are just enjoying the franchise like it should be. Hey, if the one true fans can't deal with the fact that the franchise isn't produced exclusively for them after forty years, I wouldn't care much about them either. Would be way to hard trying to satisfy the people who already made a huge fuss about the crossguard lightsaber or one of the main characters being black, a year before the movie even comes out.

"Butthurt"? "Overentitled"? Terms only a casual would use. Especially since the casual SW follower has no real stake in a reboot. They simply scrounge around every once in a while, not truly dependable to the franchise at all. You're... not a casual are you? The casual is fickle. Oh, and I think the words you're searching for are "angry" and "justified" ^_^. See, when you spend, time, money and brainpower following a beloved series for 30+ years you BECOME a little "entitled". Hey man, it's not our fault the douchebags at Disney made The incredibly LAZY and poorly thought out decision to push a reboot instead of remaining true to the integrity of the established canon of 35+ years. There are a wealth of characters they could have used from previous canon in a not yet told story, but alas, JJ possesses the magic sci-fi reboot button. Ep 7 should have brought new and old fans together, now it's only split them apart. When one has read books with characters that have been popular and official for decades and at the last minute get your hopes dashed to ever see them again, onscreen or otherwise, then you could MAYBE understand the fan's plight, but until one does, they're just a casual, a noob, a rank amateur pretending they know something about Star Wars. The only portion of SW fans I think fit the "overentitled" bill of the Star Wars fandom were the Original Trilogy fans, who basically are responsible for the mess we're currently in as fans. Lucas got tired of their incessant whining about Eps 1-3 and was just like "screw it" and washed his hands of it and sold out to Disney instead of Fox, which puzzled me... Most EU content was produced during my generation of the fandom and we tended to keep an open mind, but there were always OT fans who kept saying their trilogy was better than the other, when it's ALL part of the 6-piece story LUCAS authorized and wanted told. When he wanted people to expand upon his established universe, he had the EU. "...for the ranting fans who are now more in the way than anything else. And at the same time they go forward with the franchise and build it up for the trusty fans who actually stayed true to the franchise and of course the new generation of Star Wars fans (or "casuals" as you put it) who are just enjoying the franchise like it should be." Wow. It's funny how we "ranting fans" made Star Wars what it is, kept it alive during the 90's by buying the books and games and such, and suddenly we're "in the way" to be swept under the rug. That's fair. I wonder, what will become of YOU and your cadre of "trusty fans" in 20 years? If anything, stripping down the large intricate tapestry that was the EU is a lazy drawback as it takes away all of the lush story content and background characters surrounding the Star Wars Universe, and creates a disparity between two generations of fans. It's a disservice to fans of Star Wars everywhere. It's because of the casuals that Disney has become totally unoriginal in their desperate attempts to appeal to new fanbase, and passing it off as "new" like it wasn't done in the EU already. Only a casual would calmly lap up the same recycled story without realizing it's been done with the franchise before. You should know from other companies like capcom, what happens when you betray core fans of a franchise. It never ends well.

I think I read somewhere in wookiepedia that they once used the force

Like he said in the video the force cut them off due to how vile their actions were and how much suffering they caused.

Chris Fox so The Sith were not evil enough to cut off from te force?

Chris Chiss Another reason the Legends is better off not being canon. Parts of it were cool, but overall, it was just completely incoherent and full on inconsistencies.

They were cut from the Force when their living planet was destroyed.

Ya, he should do a follow up video about the war itself.

No You what's so bad about them

Amadeus more like Space Orcs and Uruks.

@@celestialspartan1176 How are they like orcs, beyond being warlike antagonists who are pretty evil? Last I checked orcs weren't religious masochists and technophobes.

There won't be any episodes past 9. And besides, it's non canon anyway.

+Daylen Hartz No, its Canon. Disney buying the rights and saying its not doesnt make it true. The new film is just fanfiction with a military-level budget

+Vlad the Inhaler I wish that were true I love the Yuuzhan Vong War but I am afraid it's no longer cannon and I hate this.

Daniel Bertazzon Are you aware of the theory of relativity?

+Vlad the Inhaler does that state there are a infinite amount of Parallel universes coexisting with our own on different dimensional plains and in each of these universes the reality is different from our own sometimes only slightly sometimes quite radically and every possible reality exists yes I know it.

Yuuzhan vong are fantasy.Literally,their lore is very unique and actually showed how massive the star wars world is instead of confined into one galaxy that always have a risen evil empire.

Bioborg or something, yeah... Borg were still better even after they were ruined by VOY.

Emilio Belisle They were from another galaxy..

Emilio Belisle Seems super goofy and not star wars in the least bit. Star Treck was all about the whole 'different races of space people ruling big chunks of the galaxy' kind of idea. 'Klingon Territory' and whatnot.

+Emilio Belisle regardless of how you felt it was very important in the star wars universe. A rated r film (or tv show) about the war would be phenomenal.

+Emilio Belisle I actually though the Yuuzhan where Orc's from LotR that had just got lost in SW

Me as well

TheRomanRuler Wait so he built all of that just to destroy Yuzhan vong army? correct me if I'm wrong sorry just want to more.

Eduardo Cureno there's a theory that he might've sensed their incoming attack, so he prepared massive battle stations like the death star

TheRomanRuler i hate the rebels I am with the empire

Alex Armani wow so unique, you must be special omg omg omg yejakdnidjdjdjd

I always thought the Empire being actually a retaliation force against the future Vong invasion to be utter bullshit, an idea created only to justify the existence of the book series, but which also diminished the evil and threatening nature of the Empire.

***** Luke becomes the messiah.

+Robert Oortwijn It lasted only four years, and it was won through many sacrifices.

+Robert Oortwijn The Galaxy united to defeat them and when Luke Skywalker killed their Supreme Overlord the rest of them either surrendered or basically banzai'd against the enemy. There were a few titanic battles along the way, when Coruscant fell to the invaders it basically saw 3,000 New Republic warships against 10,000 Vong warships and not that many ships from both sides survived.

+Robert Oortwijn The new republic & imperial remnant teamed up

***** Also the Hapes Consortium, The Chiss Ascendancy, the Mandalorians and the sentient planet Zonama Sekot.

+スーパーマン I'm not disavowing it. I'm sad that Disney won't show them on screen like they're doing with Thrawn.

Not yet

If you mean incorporated into Disney's universe, no thanks. We need them to be both separate but with Legends continued.

Yuuzhan Vong anti force? and zombie plague should be added in rebels ? or if they do an animation for after force awakens era ? be fun to see right?

Cold Flame, Same.

+Jerry Sepulveda They aren't. They aren't even canon anymore.

+Jason Malcolm Yea bro, sucks precisely why I hate Disney atm... And Lucas a little bit for selling his baby to them. We'll never see an awesome war like this onscreen.

+Harborx Disney's Star Wars is ALL About Anakin, His Legacy, & a never ending War between Jedi & Sith.

Conrado Javier Been done already.

Yasssssss

It's not Canon

The Vong were one of the best things about Star Wars! People complain because they hate Timothy Zahn's idea of an enemy outside of the known galaxy. They also didn't like the fact the couldn't be detected in the Force like his ysalamir. A grown up more adult world wasn't for everyone either. They love safe children stories like Rebels. Which is totally fine. To each his own right?

Matt wilkins I agree.

Matt wilkins RA Salvatore got death threats for his contribution to the series. Specifically the killing off of a certain character. A grimdark star wars story clearly was too much for some folks to handle.

I'm The Heroic Protagonist and that's a shame. Salvatore was doing the job he was told to do. George approved the decision but Salvatore got all the hate. Thanks for the comment!

+Matt wilkins They Prefered their Villains similar to the Sith or the Government they control.

Gravy TheGuy eh, I'm glad force unleashed is gone. We could have kept the old republic though

+Christopher Ryons Star Trek already has Species 8472 and they wanted to purge the universe.

The Vong just always seemed very villain-of-the-week to me and (to me, at least) didn't have a Star Wars feel to 'em...all I'm sayin'

That explains nothing.So is star wars just supposed to be teenagers vs a risen evil empire?

How are they more in line with Star Trek? In Star Trek most religions turn out to be aliens manipulating primitives with advanced technology. Also Star Trek always struck me as more peaceful and utopian (though I suppose that changed the more we got to know the Federation). Star Trek strikes me as a more atheistic less violent universe. Which is the opposite of the Yuuzhan Vong. Hell, I'd argue them not fitting is a plus; I think it's good to try putting in new forces every so often when you've got something as long lasting as Star Wars. Why must every war be jedi vs. Sith, with the occasional interlude with the Mandalorians?

They got cut off from the Force by their homeworld. The homeworld was sentient and it thought that the Yuuzhan Vong had gone too far since they started conquering their home galaxy after driving away two droid races that had previously enslaved them.

What does Tolkien have to do with this?

+P1Tz0N csgo Would be better as a TV show

The New Jedi Order series. Here are some links to the series' pages on both Wikipedia and Wookiepedia. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_New_Jedi_Order starwars.wikia.com/wiki/The_New_Jedi_Order

Cool--thanks!

+Michael Dillabough Species 8472.

Dear god, are there only two space opera works in the entire universe? How would the Yuuzhan Vong fit better into Star Trek? Their religion isn't the use of high technology, but prevades their society. Also they're highly warlike and masochistic. How does that fit into Star Trek?

Yes.They came from a different galaxy.

It's Control Room is One Huge Brain

think coral reef asteroids

Same way the Force works. Or having space dogfights. Space magic!

the new jedi order saga

thank you

bizzy511 don't read it, read the new republic's saga

i will check it out. thanks

bizzy511 you are welcome! any LEGENDS question, formulate it to me please

+Paul Mackenan so the force is RACIST. And if thats the case, then how can darth vader use the force or a sith? And how can an object like a rock be pushed with the force? So the vong would just not be able to be pushed, or choked, or mind controled? But they can still be cut by light sabers tho right?

+Paul Mackenan so what even are the vong? They came from another galaxy? But they dont believe in technology? What? They have weapons and armor but they dont believe in technology, how does that even work.

Took me a while, but I grew to love them, one of my favorite races in the lore.

I’m still in the hate phase, since in almost every single aspect of their design and character, the Yuuzhan Vong are pretty much a pure and shameless ripoff of Orcs from Lord of the Rings, and it’s like the Legends writers aren’t even trying to hide it.

​@@danielhowe6238And yet despite that, they're more original and more interesting than the First Order

The near entirety of the war takes place in a series of novels known as "the New Jedi Order".

I'm surprised they didn't go for this since this lore-filled story screams war propaganda and military funded propaganda that they will gladly accept with open arms

(Badum crash)

It makes up a series of 19 novels known as "The New Jedi Order".

They werent.Unlike the fans,the writers and lucasfilm love the vong and were originally going to put them in The Clone Wars tv show but they decided to cancel it because it might ruin the whole suprise of their existence for the new republic.The EU was deleted because disney wanted to make their own stories and its due to them claiming "too hard to follow" aka their too lazy to learn the stories.

Blazer Hell what's eu? sorry I'm kinda new.

Eduardo Cureno a short term for "Expanded Universe" nowadays disney calls it "Legends"

Probably misguided writers who cannot distinguish force of Star Wars from generic comic book super powers. I am glad this is my first exposure to this abomination; also glad this generic comic book bad guy faction is not canon, and it should stay that way. This sounds like terrible fanfiction edition of Slaanesh cultists of Warhammer meets Star Wars? I can think of better versus sub-franchises than this cringe worthiness

Lol you guys havent even read it.The story was much more well thought out with much more meaningfull events then TFA and al, the new post rotj canon books combined.

+Ravenpy You cannot judge an entire story arc spanning *19* books on a barely 2 minute video. So much happens and so much is left out. And the Sith are more generic comic book than the Vong.

The Vong are my favourite Star Wars race.
