For those who wonder what happened to Nien Nunb after Episode VI, he became the administrator of the mines of Kessel, dramatically increasing the producing of the mines by replacing the slaves by common workers capable of living underground. By 44 ABY, he was still administrating the mines and helped Ben Skywalker to find Sith Apprentice Vestara Khai

[@saltytexasranger6301]

In other words, Disney Canon or IMO "NON-FAN FICTION"...

[@organicketchup5171]

Unless I’m mistaken, you haven’t covered the Ithorians. Would you please consider doing them next? They’re my favourite 😊

[@skyden24195]

Two aspects I really love about Sullustan lore directly involves the friendship between Princess Leia and Nien Nunb. The first being of the Sullustan compassion for the survivors of Alderaan as many of them found refuge on the planet with Nien being a direct "diplomat" due to his friendship with the last surviving Alderaan Princess from the House of Organa. (Hope I'm stating that correctly.) The other aspect being that of Nien Nunb's contributions to the Alliance's success at the Battle of Endor. Not only was Nien co-pilot aboard the Death Star (2) killing-blow-delivering Millenium Falcon, but he was also assigned as pilot for Princess Leia's "Moving Target" mission; a mission that was primary done as to distract the Empire's notice of the intent of the rebels massing near Sullust. (That aspect, unknown to the rebels at the time, turning out to be a failure.) However, during their mission of distraction, the last three survivors of the original five-member team escaped an Imperial Star Destroyer aboard the commandeered shuttle, "Tydirium," Nien Nunb being the one to pilot the shuttle back to the rebel fleet.

[@heintz256]

That's a cool bit of lore!

[@TyrNorse12]

I’ve been more and more interested in the species of Star Wars. Going really in depth with it. Trying learn all I can about them. Your work is amazing!

[@douchopotamus3755]

I was so angry when Disney killed nien nunb. He was one of my favorite star wars aliens as a kid.

[@oldsoldier4209]

I wish there were channels on here that did this great a job of explaining the lore and history of existing terrestrial cultures. We have such a deep understanding of these fictional beings. Yet few of understand more than surface information about our global neighbors.

[@masterblaster7484]

The channel Cogito does a lot of videos on various religions and ethnic groups around the world.

[@ImpeachObamaASAP2010]

that's because they are boring and no one cares about them.

[@organicketchup5171]

Thanks for finally covering them! My sister and I were disgusted by Nien Nunb, watching RotJ as kids, but now they’re one of my favourite SW species, thanks to Battlefront. Did you know, that a Sullustan like character appears in the ‘Doctor Slump’ anime’ by Akira Toriyama?

[@elwinkline6387]

Great video! One of the lesser known/thought of alien races. Really enjoyed the deep dive on their home world.

Sullustans are the fantasy dwarves of Star Wars.

[@commanderkronos]

For those wondering what ACTUALLY happened to Nien Nunb after Return of The Jedi: Nien Nunb would fly with the New Republic, eventually joining the resistance. Being highly venerated, he was a flight commander within the New Republic and Resistance. He helped to destroy Starkiller Base, even surviving the Battle of Crait. He was there at the Battle of Exegol, where he died on the Tantive IV (35 ABY).

For more information on Sullust, I recommend the book Twilight Company. In that story, the rebellion on Sullust was almost wiped out prior to 3 BBY, but was revitalized by the arrival of a rebel alliance mobile infantry division who became stranded on the planet.

[@robertnichols2283]

So, how does the whole food chain thing work in the caves? What’s at the base of the food chain? Energy source? There are many possibilities, but nothing was mentioned about how the web of life works there.

[@navilluscire2567]

That's a oversight quite common in Star Wars, tons of creatures but virtually ZERO attempts to try and figure out or flesh out their relationships to each other. Aside from a few predator to prey relations, not much is said about ecological balances. Like what do the cave grub-like creatures of sullust eat? What eats the grubs? How are mineral eating creatures able to get all their nutrients from eating rocks? How does their digestive system handle that? Do they supplement their diet with other things? Who knows, it's questions that Star Wars in general (even among the most nerdy of fans) isn't interested in answering.

[@robertnichols2283]

@@navilluscire2567 yeah, that’s why my interest in Star Wars declines over time

[@navilluscire2567]

@@robertnichols2283 To be fair Star Wars as a franchise has never been interested in the technical or mechanical details of its setting, George Lucas says so as much. Much of the detailing we do see about how things function from a technical or mechanical or the rare ecological perspective is because of writers caring about that kind of stuff and with nerdy fans like Metanerdz, Ekhartsladder, Geetsly among others eating that stuff up and presenting it to other fans who are interested in such. Star Wars has always been about its people, its characters, its social commentary, it dynamics, and ofcourse its deeper themes *NOT how many dewbacks can you fit on a particular class of freighter.* I guess what I'm saying is that it's not so much about the *"technobable"* as it is about exploitation of people's reactions to such things like the weird tech or phenomenon around them (i.e. mainly the Force) and what drives them. (what do they truly want?) The heart of SciFi has never been about explaining the fantastical technology but how do people use it? what for? And how that shapes their social system(s)?
