The secret Sith weapon: The Thot bomb

[@jamessuraciart]

(face-palm)

[@TheJCG9]

Things being equal and what with SW naming, Thot might come to a planet near you in a Galaxy Far Away.

[@ThePalaeontologist]

Concept: a superweapon that reverberates BEGONE at bone shattering frequencies across approximately 3 galactic radii. Basically an audible boomer version of the HALO installations. NOTE: Guaranteed to disperse thots at a range of 6 galactic radii total.

[@ThePalaeontologist]

@Aeneas Bufiy Words to live by.

@Aeneas Bufiy The Age of Thots is over; the time of the based Man has come - Gothmog, Battle of Osgiliath. Wait what...

What is needed to bring humanity together isn't a battle against the might of an entire alien race, but a skirmish against a bunch of alien privateers or third rate power. A small alien colony or a merchant company try to invade without the Galactic police finding out and only use civilian gear. Basically we get invaded by a couple of technicals and fishing boats, not an battlefleet.

[@lolmeme69_]

Yeah. If a powerful alien government attempted to invade, we'd all get slaughtered. But as you said, a couple alien pirates looking to make a quick buck might prove a valuable match that unites humanity.

[@retosius7962]

that, taht would actually make sense.

[@math3000]

And then the rise of Humanity

[@armzngunz]

What if a highly advanced species traveled through an infinity gate to lift our species up but then we killed them all, but they managed to destroy the gate first, but it was too late and we started spreading across the galaxy?

You didn't mention the Horrific Battle of "Johnsons Disaster" During the Disney Franchise Wars. A Galaxy divided against itself. Friend pitted against Friend. Families torn apart. A battle where our greatest Heroes are crushed under the Unrelenting Tyranny of the Emperor Walt and his Evil Apprentice Darth Ruin - Destroyer of millions of Childhoods. So Much Lost.

Darth KenSheDie? starts by corrupting JarJar Abrams, whilst keeping Darth Ruin secretly in the wings. only for JJ.A to turn and become Darth JarJar, and taking his place at his Mistresses side. With DR cut down by Obi - FAN - Kenobi he sidles off, plotting revenge. Tapping into his Bitterness and Hate for Obi - FAN - Kenobi to give him strength to return in the Future. Expect Lucas Skywalker to turn up at some time to confront now Empress KenSheDie and try to turn DJJ. this does not end well for Fans who are either on the Disneystar or assaulting Mouseketeers with sticks. It all Ends with big Funeral Pyre of Kodak Film reels and rotten party. Ghosts of stories past have already faded away from apathy.

Hello

[@pranavsingh5666]

2 parts Mount Gay rum 3 parts lime juice and top it with ice. I call it the Battle of Yavin, few actual drinks but an effective guaranteed to blow you away

[@robd1811]

Y'all should do a video on the different planetary military forces, like the naboo military or the mon calamari, etc. It would be interesting to know who had the best planetary defenses that weren't apart of the core worlds

[@dbg537]

The Rakatan empire seems like its star wars’s equivalent to the mongol empire: Both are big, ancient empires that came to power through sheer force and brutality

[@ThePalaeontologist]

Well the force and brutality part is right, but the ancientness is not. The Mongol Empire isn't exactly ancient as such. Quite recent, actually. Try, ancient Egyptians, Hittites or ancient Chinese, for a better comparison. Medieval era Mongols are old and long ago but not ancient. Just quite old. Even the Roman Empire was relatively young, having been preceded by many other Empires, from around the world. The Rakatan are more similar to the aforementioned, but also could be compared to the ancient Greeks to some extent; building wonders ahead of their time but then becoming a footnote in some else's history for the most part)

[@nathanjora7627]

ThePalaeontologist si they would be like akkadians, Sumerians, thing like that. The Tigre and Euphrate region was only united through sheer brutality after all.

[@raymondlaw5258]

@@ThePalaeontologist according to archeological and linguistic investigation , the most ancient Chinese tribes/kingdoms was very eager to conquer land that lie outside their small holdings around the yellow river, the land now most people consider China was one of the ancient world's most culturally diverse regions, and home to lots of dead civilizations, whose culture was completely destroyed by ancient China, only some of their language lived in remote parts of mainland China. so empires built from sheer brutality and force? the Chinese empires certainly fit that role better then we think

[@gaylordpantamime]

Okay it might be the weed but I think you want to just blown my mind the concept that humans have been fighting amongst each other as a way to practice for the day where we all have to reunite and band together to fight something extra terrestrial... Hits blunt...

[@pyeitme508]

We know u rather use Earth based firearms in the Star Wars galaxy during the Galactic Republic era before or during 22 BBY, but what kinds of firearms you think will be practical, tactical and reliable when dealing with Jedi, Judicial Forces and Clone troopers? If I were you, I will bring 6 deadly firearms with me. They are: Heckler & Koch Mark 23 45ACP pistol, KRISS VECTOR 45ACP Submachine Gun GEN II model, FN SCAR H CQC (Close Quarters Combat) Battle rifle, Mk 13 Mod 0 Grenade Launcher and Barrett M107A150BMG anti material sniper rifle CQB model.

[@frankg2790]

Good luck finding ammunition for those weapons. You wouldn't be able to afford them if you could.

[@robertagu5533]

Large heavy hitting and rapid fire. Weapons. Like Full auto rifles, smgs, belt fed weapons and even and perhaps especially surprisingly shotguns all are theorized to not only be effective but ALSO still exist in some form in the SW universe

[@joshuabates7424]

I like this but I had a hard time figuring out the timeline for the battles. It would have helped to see some sort of timeline. Thank you for all of your excellent work!

[@user-Jay178]

These battles are awesome. Great video

[@SorenNido]

I'm actually mostly interested in the artwork on the thumbnail.

[@matthewkuchinski1769]

I always wonder if the Battle of Yavin 4 was not supposed to be a callback to the Battle of Route Colonial Quatre (RC4). Although it was not an air battle, as Yavin 4 was a space engagement, RC4 was pitting one of the great colonial powers, France, against the resistance movement known as the Viet Minh. And, the reaction after the Viet Minh's victory at RC4 was overwhelming. First, the French were psychologically and politically crippled, as support for the war reached its first major low. Secondly, the engagement proved that the French could be beaten in a pitched set-piece battle by the Viet Minh. Finally, the Viet Minh launched the Red River Campaign afterwards, which overstretched their logistical capabilities but did not result in their destruction, just like the Rebel Alliance's movements towards the Inner Rim.

[@vonfaustien3957]

yavin 4 was based on a Canadian bombing run on a nazi dam during the second world war. the trench run segment is almost a direct lift from a old black and white movie about the raid.

I want to know more about life on Coruscant during the fall of the Empire. Basically after the Battle of Endor. I know that civil war started there and that it became so severe that the planet was ruined so badly that they had to move the capital to Hosnian Prime. I know Mas Amedda was trapped there. But I want more stories about the battles that took place there.

I would suspect the lack of use of Clones and Droids post Clone Wars was a combination of cost and time. Droids are usually expensive, and if not expensive, incompetent and useless. A lot easier to buy blasters and train regular troops. Clones are also expensive, require expert cloners (rare after the sack of Kamino by Vader), and worst of all, take years to become available. If you want troops right here right now, you go for traditional soldiers.
