The way Boba suffered inside the Sarlacc and later escaped was much more unsettling and disturbing in the Legends short story called "A Barve like that: The Tale of Boba Fett" in comparation to the Book of Boba Fett's version. First, he lost a leg due to digestive acid from Sarlacc, forcing him later to wear a prosthesis that led to painful tumors. Then, Boba spent days trapped in the wall of the Sarlacc and listening the voices of beings (including an ancient Jedi woman) that many centuries ago had fallen into and become part of the Sarlacc. Boba's fervent desire not to become another victim caused him to finally reach the switch that activated the jetpack and allowed him to escape from that hell.

Sarlacc in ROTJ: “I did not expect you in this grave. But you are still welcome in it.”

[@venkelos6996]

I always wanted to imagine that Shak-ti didn't die there, on Felucia, but instead hid. She knew nothing would follow her in, and the Sarlaac did sort of preserve its victims, so if she could use the Force to trance, decreasing her requirements for living, and allow the Sarlaac to sustain her body, while also slightly using the Force to sort of persuade it to target other prey first, she could have survived for a long time, and then later escaped when her meditation told her the time was right. Back when I was running Star Wars RPG stuff, this was my plan to have her return into whatever era we were in, if I wanted, as she basically used the creature as an incubator/life support system, and used the Force to stave off the worst effects. Granted, this video shows I would have been wrong in a few things, but I didn't know, and it was a safe bet no one else I was running for dud, either.

[@TheE_G_G]

If it's stupid, but it works, it ain't stupid

[@jeanmichael2002]

Every time I replay the Force Unleashed I find it amusing how little "sense" Shaak Ti's death makes. Starkiller assumes she's dead after throwing herself into the monster and even force energy emanates from it, in a similar way that happened when Palpatine was thrown into the DS 2 reactor; but the truth is that she wouldn't die instantly in it, but instead be consumed for roughly a thousand years. She could have easily escaped.

[@VenerhiaStellarvore]

I dont actually think she would of done that, taking such a huge risk for failure for so little reward that she could of just done by using the force alone in some isolated terrain feature to live way longer than normal, like many force users before her did in the past. Especially since she was the most unlikely type of person as a jedi to actually be that bold. The type of force ability required to survive this would be too much a of leap required even for the most powerful and knowledgable force user, not by being undoable but rather in not knowning everything (or anything) about this hellish pandora box.

[@FastTquick]

I am thoroughly convinced that being digested by a sarlacc is the number one worst way to die in Star Wars. Just imagine being kept alive for 1000+ years while being digested from the outside in and hearing the tormented voices of other victims of this ancient monster. It’d be the equivalent of living the worst hell for eternity, and you’ll be begging for the sweet release of death before a day goes past.

I dont think they are native to Tatooine, but a dry planet in a sparsely populated area would be the best place to thrive as no one would dare go near it. Odds are, Saclacc die quickly because they land in the wrong spot and something more intelligent comes along and puts the wrong thing in its mouth (an explosive), killing the Sarlacc. Only a few Sarlacc probably survive the beginning of adulthood, but when they do, they live a long life. Jabba may be interfering with the Sarlacc biology. By using Sarlacc as an execution chamber, theres probably much more in that stomach than a typical Sarlacc will have, as the Sarlacc is in a sparsely populated area, food rarely comes by but when it does, it could take another 100 years before anything else comes along, but Jabba was likely feeding the Sarlacc quite a bit.

Ok but if boba was the first person to actually escape the sarlac pit, then how did people find out that it kept you alive for generations? 🤔🤔🤔

[@tcoi187]

Honestly, I think that’s an overstatement. If the acid in Sarlacc’s stomach is so powerful it can tear one’s leg apart in less than a week, it doesn’t make sense that you take 1000 years to die.

[@bigprovolone4209]

look i get the whole sponsorship thing but i’m not gonna write my paper dude i’d rather watch this

[@zintosion]

Damn Bobba must have some amazing willpower to survive that.

[@sidthegreatest6205]

It reminds me a lot of the gravemind from halo 2.

[@Lou_Spowells]

I just want to take a moment and appreciate you for the visual approximation. I was just thinking about that whale explosion earlier today. Thank you for that

“Technology in the suit” That suit doesn’t even have a fricken *respirator* !

[@muhammadhabibieamiro3639]

Another amazing video

[@Coboxite]

16:03 I'm pretty sure the symbolism is that its the last thing you yell out before you fall in

[@lb7144]

Take care of yourself and I hope you have an awesome 2022. When life looks bad, hold on just a little longer.

[@GoddamnAnge]

This man spared no expense in this video

[@CT5555_]

3:22, is footage from Florence Oregon when a whale washed up on shore in 1970, and the department of transportation decided that blowing it up with half a ton of TNT, was the best course of action. It was not....

[@Dumbbrick-yy7tb]

Giant animal: there you ate my flesh happy? Young sarlac: I want the bone marrow

[@arkantos-arkantos6092]

I love these small documentaries! Have you ever thought about doing any videos on dune?

[@MetaNerdzLore]

Yeah definitely but I don't know it as well and idk how I could plan that out

[@angerfistzalig]

Hey metanerdz as always awesome video, did you notice in the book of boba fett the massif that suddenly dies? I think it dug up a sarlacc and it attacked it!

[@MetaNerdzLore]

Yeah idk what that was

[@Superkid33]

So basically the Sarlacc is a painful version of the fountain of youth

[@jackdaniels5071]

Headcrab level of disgustingly horror! I love it!

[@hourz]

That being said that particular sarlacc was killed therefore bobba saved couple of jedi and thousands of souls being tormented.

[@christopherlibrary9265]

Thank you for opening with such an important message about mental health.

[@thequintessentialgamer7514]

I love how you used the footage of them blowing up the dead whale to visually approximate it ejecting spores into space

[@kevincalgta]

Meta nerds could you make a story around Darth Bane and how he created the rule of two thank you so much for the videos especially those revolving around Sith history I really like those

[@megatronjenkins2473]

If the guy who owned the skyhook in Shadows Of The Empire were a mixed martial artist, you think he'd have a signature move called the Xizor Kick? (takes a bow)

[@tylerdevries8226]

Question what would be in a fully equipped medical station besides a bacta tank and a few droids is there any special sergical equipped besides those scanners seen in the clone wars and bad batch ?

[@jamesschulziii9098]

Thank you kindly for the heads up about better health. 😎 I wonder if a sarlacc could survive on a planet like Hoth. Interesting to think about.

[@sebastiannorrington3792]

You also might want to do some thing on the sarlcc with the stupendous wave and the lore master.

[@Philippians--co6ww]

Starts 2:30

[@mrpenguin0001]

Loved this video as always cant wait for the next one

[@kerbodynamicx472]

Quick question, since the Sarlac often lies in a hole beneath the ground, what if you bury it?

[@kingofthefunnyguys]

I think it would eat the sand or get rid of it in some other way
