I like these 50 fun facts video

[@chibodee1187]

Theory time... the green team mission is the Rise of the Resistance ride and you join green team.

[@harryjackson2215]

Bobby Linn that seems super likely

[@fightingfalcon777]

Do you think that Green Team’s mission might be related to the Rise of the Resistance ride for Galaxy’s Edge? That might explain why they avoid describing the appearance of Green Leader, the theory being the guests are Green Team

[@user-Jay178]

That would be cool

[@GamePlayer553]

"The amphibious creature from Tattooine" is one of the weirdest things to ever hear

[@thatoneradicalizedprussian225]

lmao

[@cydonprax12]

the wishing tree is in the park. it's the small tree in the courtyard in front of Savi's and at least in DL the CMs will occasionally be seen tying pieces of cloth to it

[@sirgaffpennyworth681]

Those ribbons on the Trilon Wishing Tree, AKA The Tree of Life, to Wookiees, are wishes from the local villagers. Mine wishing ribbon is the purple one.

[@austinwainscott5990]

I was literally thinking this morning, “What happened to Cardinal after Phasma?” Happy to know he’s living his best life.

[@Burning-Twilight]

He's so far the only other FO trooper who deserted and lived outside of Finn. I do wonder what will he will do if or when the First Order has been defeated. Edit: Spoilers sadly dear old Cardinal sacrificed himself in Black Spire a shame I wanted to see more done with his character.

[@TheWuffball]

*stares at that casual Ebon Hawk reference*

[@itsatrap1017]

Seems like both Claudia Gray and Delilah Dawson both love KOTOR. I mean, can you blame them?

[@PepsiGolem]

I thought the PK droids originated in The Phantom Menace?

[@cydonprax12]

I think the "green team" star destroyer mission might actually be the Rise of the Resistance ride

[@thesharpercoder]

There used to be a theme park in The Bronx, NY in the early 1960s named Freedomland. It had a couple dozen venues that retold American history. It was initially a big hit. After a couple of years, attendance declined because most people had little to no reason to go back. Most people had visited all of the venues, which were mostly unchanging. How many different ways can you tell the story of Ben Franklin flying a kite? The park lacked thrill rides. Without thrill rides, I see Galaxy’s Edge as having to follow the same path of failure. I hope I am wrong.

[@cwylfre]

Well I know this video old but really disappointed you didn't mention the *Kaleesh mask* that Vi had spotted, and plan on using it to hide from the First Order but notice it would make her stand out even more. That Kaleesh mask, owned by Dok-Ondar, is none other than General Grievous, who wears it in battle years transforming into a cyborg. This is confirmed in *Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge: Traveler's Guide to Batuu.* It also made a cameo in *Halcyon Legacy 4*

[@zebulenyager8638]

1 extra detail on the book is that cerea is known as the home planet of ki-adi-mundi and his species

[@Burning-Twilight]

It's nice to know Corusant is still around and seemingly still doing fine despite the First Order sweeping across the galaxy for domination. Hopefully we will one day be able to revisit it again wonder if the surface of the planet has changed over these past decades.

[@EM-lz4rb]

Another happy video.

[@valrhonaa]

next do 66 fun facts

[@skilledwarman]

I hear "Green Team" and now I'm just imagining a team of Spartan-IIs lead by Kurt-051 taking a star destroyer

[@der222b]

Castilon from Resistance was mentioned at the start and said it’s no longer safe.

[@MANESHARK]

Um... PK-series worker droids were in episode 1.

[@ricardobanta7461]

You should have said UMMMM...ACTUALLY

[@LegoCLONEfanatic]

The Wishing Tree is in Galaxys Edge park, right next to Savi‘ Workshop!

[@henrywood1304]

I don’t know if you found this out, but Finn is green leader, it’s datapad mission you can do on your phone at the park

[@cinnamonflavord]

I loved Batuu, I loved everything, did you guys see all the things in the Antiquity shop?

[@rippingtons60]

I hope Delilah makes a third book. Vi Moradi bringing Siv and Torbi to Batuu might not be a good idea. Remember what happens to Kijimi long before it's destroyed, likely the First Order would start taking Batuuan kids to be conscripted into stormtroopers during Batuu's own occupation. For those who have read Phasma and Black Spire: Return to a Shattered Planet, I can easily see Torbi getting taken along with the other kids by the First Order and Siv not being able to get to her in time. That could be what causes her to join the resistance as Vi Moradi had offered in order to eventually find and rescue her daughter.

[@ChupeTTe]

There is a Beech tree in the theme park. So beech trees and relatives are canon part of Star Wars

[@wilbablaze7765]

2:10 You said something about andorian isn't that a star trek species lol

[@Emerald_Fury375]

Great video Alex 🙂

[@CynUnion-ji9uj]

Is the Green Team Mission The Ride: Rise of The Resistance? Because the Resistance has to infiltrate a Star Destroyer to rescue the riders.

[@lizliz3974]

Green squadron is probably the name of the rise of resistance ride group.

[@twstf8905]

Is that REALLY "everything" you caught lol Or is it just 50 things you caught? Surely there's more "fun facts" you noticed, the total number of which well exceeded exactly 50. 😁👍

[@bakomusha]

*Pushes up glasses.* Krath Hounds predate KOTOR, they where part of the Krath culture set up in the Tales from the Jedi comics.

[@jackwoo470]

Is the poison tooth a potential Dune reference?

[@jh-ij4by]

are there books who focus on the first order please

[@Nathan-tz5fr]

How can a creature be amphibious on Tatooine when there are no bodies of water?

[@meganofsherwood3665]

I think he meant "amphibious" as in "vaguely resembles a frog" rather than an actual amphibian, but I could be wrong

[@JoanieDoeShadow]

Wow all these detailed cross media connections created by numerous writers and artists released from 2015 (??) is like LucasStudio has no idea what they're doing and just throwing random stuff at the wall to see what sticks. Star Wars needs a master architect. 😌 (cough sarcasm.)

[@gregorye7249]

JoanieDoeShadow Right?

[@JoeyJoeJoeJuniorShabadoo16]

Why is there an amphibious creature on tatooine????

[@user-Jay178]

Fish tank maybe

[@auntvesuvi3872]

😊

[@ricardobanta7461]

LOL!!! VIBRO = STAR WARS

[@garypfeiffer6210]

Is the wart at the end of this vid an amphibian?

[@henry7655]

make a spoiler review of it!

I always love your enthusiasm, but some of your pronunciations kind of bother me. I know it's just a matter of opinion, but I just feel Archex sounds better as Arkex (letter changed for pronunciation) and the reverse for Echani. There were a few others, but these bugged me most

[@michaelgonzales6776]

Why did they call dooku a count instead of darth

[@yoshim616]

Michael Gonzales That was the name he went by as the leader of the Separatists in public, his Darth name was Darth Tyranus.

[@RevanMartinez]

BOYCOTT EPISODE 9!!!
