Czerka really sounds like that annoying mosquito that you keep chasing but it always gets away, to annoy you some more later on. Any time Czerka is mentioned there's always that tiny part in memory that goes: "Good day, I am B-4D4."

[@luisdoyer3260]

True, but it doesn't sound like the republic or empire really put any effort to stop. The only person that could have destroyed them and take all their assets was Palpatine, but he probably didn't care as long as they stayed in their lane.

[@jarofvodka3183]

@@luisdoyer3260 I'm not sure Palpatine necessarily could (should) have gone after Czerka if he wanted. Sure, if he could focus the entire might of the Empire on them, Czerka would probably crack. However, if he did, Czerka could have gone right to the Rebellion for their own survival. The Rebel Alliance with the powerful backing of Czerka is not something even Palpatine should take lightly.

[@luisdoyer3260]

@@jarofvodka3183 True, but Palpatine had powerful economic hegemony over the galaxy. I don't think Czerka could have withstood them, they are businessmen after all.

[@jarofvodka3183]

@@luisdoyer3260 Yes and no. I think "Czerka" would hide in a shell company, as they have before. I also think they would dedicate what resources remained after the Empire tried to stamp them out to arming the Rebellion. We saw what little arms dealer Incom could do with one new class of starfighter. I'm sure with their millennia of experience, Czerka could do a lot of damage before the Empire could smother them. If Czerka is left alone, however, it's business as usual. Aside from black market arms reaching the Rebels, the Empire doesn't have a lot to worry about.

[@luisdoyer3260]

@@jarofvodka3183 True, the rebels were able to wither the storm with only having bare minimum resources & supply. They basically only had the leadership of a few senators & a handful of experienced leaders, if a Czerka exec donated their entire fortune & assets I'm sure it would have gone a long way. The problem with that is that all of it could have been easily traced, so the ISB would have probably seized it.

[@SuperOnePieceMaster]

Sucks that Revan and Meetra Surik's efforts to get rid of them were meaningless in the long run.

[@Kolonol1]

I don't think either one made any distinct effort to get rid of Czerka, but when Czerka showed up it was usually in an effort to stand in Revan and then the Exiles way...when they stood in the way, I think THATS when they made an effort to get rid of Czerka in that area and cause as much financial loss as possible

[@TheAzureGuardian]

These "The fate of" or "What happened to" videos on the various characters and groups from the Old Republic era are always fascinating to watch since it's kind of my favourite period in Star Wars history, even if my only knowledge of that period is from the two KotOR games and the MMO. Before Disney did what they did with the license, the Old Republic era did so much for the lore of the series and a number of the characters, to me, still stand as the greatest the series has ever had (Kreia, HK-47, and T3-M4 being major ones). Though probably way more obscure, I'm curious on whether or not Pazaak stuck around as a form of entertainment in the Star Wars universe after The Old Republic. It's an interesting card game to me (even if it's primarily used for gambling in a similar fashion to poker) and I've considered on multiple occasions looking for physical Pazaak cards to buy and mess around with. We know dejarik stuck around, so maybe Pazaak did too?

[@TY-km8hj]

I'd like to knw what happened to pazaak too

[@username1660]

Disney's done a tiny bit more to canonize Old Republic stuff than before the acquisition tbf, we may get more from this era in the future.

[@TheAzureGuardian]

@@username1660 Except they really can't because stuff regarding The High Republic would heavily contradict events of The Old Republic. I think one of the things is that Hyperspace Travel was only discovered 200 years before The Phantom Menace while in the Legends continuity it was discovered thousands of years prior (The Great Hyperspace War being a resulting event of it). So any Old Republic stuff they introduce to the Disney Canon feels more like the writers trying to appease the pre-Disney fanbase. And while it's been neat to see (the entire first episode of The Mandalorian Season 2 basically being the entire Tatooine section of KotOR just scaled up as an example), I... kind of stopped caring about a lot of current Star Wars largely because of the utter disrespect that's been shown regarding the Galaxy mostly due to decanonizing the original expanded universe.

[@username1660]

@@TheAzureGuardian High republic's only a few hundred years before the movies isn't it? Old Republic is three-ish thousand or so before that. We already got Bane and to some extent Revan established in the hard canon. No reason why they can't change some things around while keeping some the same. I mean, Moraband may be a different name but it's still the same planet we know and loath. Personally, I'm pretty pumped for what the future holds. From what I know of the High Republic Stuff though, hyperspace existed for millennia. Some Hyperspace catastrophe did occur a couple hundred years before the movies, but it was only sorta-kinda like the Great Hyperspace War. The Old Expanded Universe stuff never really was part of the A canon to begin with tbf, labeling it 'Legends' doesn't really change how it was interpreted under Lucas

[@TheAzureGuardian]

@@username1660 I think Moraband was still used as the "modern" name for Korriban in the old canon, though I wasn't as familiar with that point in time outside of the movies and Jedi Academy. However, I think 100% Star Wars mentioned in a recent video they did how difficult it'd be to add the Old Republic into the Disney canon simply because of the High Republic's existence. The video, I think, was about the supposed Tales of the Jedi reboot. Might be the wrong video, but I'm very certain they've mentioned it.

9:47 Gonna be "that guy" for a moment, but Czerka did NOT develop the HK-51. They may have revived the design and mass produced them but the 51 was initially developed by the HK-50s on Telos IV who are hunting the Exile. The 50s don't like/feel threatened by the 51s so they are left deactivated. 47 breaks in during Nihilus' attack, finds the 51s, and reprograms them to be loyal to him, taking out the 50s as he goes.

[@100StarWars]

Much of the restored content mod is not considered to be a part of the canonical story because it is just that - a mod. Hence why these versions of the HK-51, 300 years are considered the continuation of the original HK-50 model and they were certainly developed by Czerka for the Sith Empire.

Great vid as always bro. On a sidenote, am I the only one who sides with Czerka on Telos regardless of if it's a LS or DS playthrough? Besides the much needed early economic gain, I just like the idea of Telos being ready for future attack rather than becoming a hippie valley again under Chodo and the Ithorians (as Kreia foretells). I know they're the corporate scum of the universe, but a broken clock is right twice a day. What they were doing on Telos was actually good. It's just not portrayed that way because the Ithorians are pacifist hippies.

Komad is rumored to be the grandfather of Bib Fortuna, and we all know of Bib from Ep. 7 and BOBF. If I had to guess Komad either stayed on Tatooine, or still travelled around the Galaxy as a hunter, then settled down somewhere. Then afterwards something happened to him and his family, they were captured by slavers, sent off-world from their home, and Bib's Family grew up in slavery. then as we know Bib was an advisor to Jabba, so who's to say his family weren't sold to Jabba and that's where they grew up.
