Damn nothing like watching some stories about a galaxy far far away while in bed trying to sleep.

[@abramisme]

Sleep is important! Get your 7 hours or your ball will shrink

[@lecljone2566]

Put down the phone an hour before you want to fall asleep. Game changer.

[@josfrazi001]

I high-key fall asleep listening to (not watching these videos, and or eckharts or Geetsley’s Stupendous Wave is my favorite though. The methodical dulcet tones of narration about a galaxy far far away just lull me right to sleep

[@michaelacedo315]

Loved Kamino. Especially when we got to see more of the world in Bad Batch.

[@shanenolan5625]

Melkor is the name of the dark lord in the silmarillian ( lord of the rings ) Tolkien

[@Crimethoughtfull]

Yeah, really confusing. Tried Googling the battle, but there appears to only be one Melkor--and he ain't in Star Wars!

[@aknightofcamelot]

If only the elves had some protoss High Templars and the War woulda been over sooner

[@break150]

Melkorr has two Rs try to google it with the double and you should come acrossed "The Tale of the Aiwha Pod" and the story of Protas being challenged by Melkorr

[@VyroDoesOKC]

I was coming to the comments to make the Melkor comment. Feels lazy to me, especially when Melkor is a monolith in LOTR - arguably the one of the only other fictional worlds/universes as popular as Star Wars

[@shanenolan5625]

@@VyroDoesOKC there are a few dune references as well . Or inspirations

[@Crimethoughtfull]

Would love an exploration into the Kaminoans post-Empire--why their society collapsed, how they (presumably) persevered.

[@theappmaster3422]

The Empire and clones saw to destroying their society. Really messed up fate.

[@Dancingontgesun1942]

The story would be interesting, write ✍🏾 it dude.

[@victor-joelryan3509]

@@Dancingontgesun1942 it’s in Star Wars the Bad Batch, even shows the Kamino cities getting blown up by the Empire. Palpatine basically used them for the clones to fuel the war and and the same clones to destroy them when he became emperor

[@hmk5123]

Darth Plagueis admired the Kaminoans as what he considered a very progressive society; almost Sith-like in both culture and morality. Ironically, it is because of this shared ideological overlap that led both the Kaminoans and the Sith to their downfall. The Sith power struggle weakened them through infighting, allowing the Jedi to end the Sith Empire. The Kaminoans empowered the Republic and later the Empire to their own detriment, and their society destroyed by the very civilization they sold an army to command. The Sith and Kaminoans were victims of their own greed.

[@JPWagnerIshwa]

This sounds like a Starcraft, Starwars, Lord of the Rings crossover!! Melkor and Protoss! LOL.

[@Melkor8249]

Lol😂

[@Gamerafighter76]

Thank you for touching on this subject, Stupendous Wave. The Lore Master gave me a bit of insight into the history, but you went more in depth. I’d like to see the history of Alderaan or maybe Kashyyyk or Coruscant.

[@smushily_373]

more videos of the history of different planets please! could be an entire series

[@Dan-B]

Wait, did they really just mop the name Melkor from Tolkien? 😝

[@metarus208]

same thought

[@crazymango9873]

And protoss from starcraft

[@DeathMessenger1988]

Oh no, it's Melkorr, with an extra R. Totally different. XD

After getting banished by the Valor, Melkor traveled to a galaxy far far away to rule over Kamino.

[@rockhound3.14]

All this talk of Ayawah and protoss I couldn't tell if you were talking Avatar or StarCraft or what

[@wintermute7378]

Hmm, viltrumites would fuckin LOVE these guys and so long as they are left alone to do their science...thing the cloners would be like "yeah ok..."

“There’s always a bigger fish” - Space Jesus 32 BBY

[@WhiteCavendish]

Ngl, I found the female Kaminoan that Obi Wan meets in the movie strangely and hauntingly beautiful.

[@kadbenson7540]

This is a fantastic idea for a video series! I enjoyed this much, im sure it gets a little hard thinking of new video ideas everyday but exploring all the species and planets and cultures of ztat wars could get give you ammo for dozens if not more than a hundred videos, keep up the good work wave!

[@alexgray6082]

Would love to see more on Kamino and it's culture.

[@matthewmann8969]

I wonder what would happen if The Jedi Order in the prequel trilogy would be set on Dantooine instead yeah.

[@Youda00008]

So Xel Naga created Protoss who created Kamioans who created clones. Perfect 😅

[@coltondyer3540]

Your videos are immaculate, please never stop.

[@jacobhaslam467]

Good timing

[@Gor85]

This is very interesting. Really nice history. I think end came when Kamenoans created clones to fight the Empire. 501 came and Empire bombarded Kamino.May the Force be with you too. Have an incredible day too😊

[@larryfoster8820]

As always excellent video, i appreciate Star Wars for more than its visuals because of this channel.

[@Duepain]

Bro idk, the subject, a weee boring and somehow you make it understandable, entertaining, and deliver it in a relaxing way every, single, time i watch 👌👌

[@thelonelycasualtygaming5526]

I love this channel. I wish the adds would stop though ridiculous that we get bombarded with them every minute an a half.

[@slowdownex]

It's kinda been bugging me that there's always some bigger scarier enemy, it's like oh outside the galaxy theres an even bigger empire with scarier sith ideologies etc, like every time there's a new bad guy it seems like it's always bigger and scarier than before. Maybe that's not a fair thing to criticize, it probably wouldn't be exciting otherwise. But I can't be the only person who notices that right?

[@mrblank-zh1xy]

Yes, it's a tiresome junior-league writing trick. As a culture, we are addicted to the biggest and best for everything. As a counterexample, see the storyline of Ahsoka - they leaned more on mystery and the unknown instead of cooking up a bigger bad, as you say.

[@zemosion1129]

To be fair the true Sith in lore have been out in unknown space for a lonnngggggg time and it's part (there's a lot of factors, especially after the rule of 2 got implemented) of why there were thought to be none left in the normal galaxy. A large sith civilization eventually being a threat makes perfect sense at that point

[@3xeplodng_3agle_studios]

​@@zemosion1129right. Its all about nuance.

[@giovanleon878]

Very good story telling keep up the great work 💯

[@marshalllatta2073]

I love planet kamino and home of the clone army

[@ggiacoletto3267]

Awesome video, would love more planets, especially mustafar!

[@totallynotthebio-lizard7631]

Melkor… MELKOR???

[@toddkurzbard]

Maybe Protas should have brought in Tulkas and Manwe for help.

[@johnmichaels4330]

Humans need to take note and be like the kaminoins

[@kingshadow8782]

Very interesting indeed.

[@athenahitchin7738]

Hope Star Wars doesn't have issues with the use of Melkor from the Tolkien society as this was Sauron's ruler's name.

[@shanethurlow3796]

Would LOVE a full dathomir episode!!! If there hasn't been one

[@colefasan9849]

absolutely blacked out rn in my dorm listening to kaminoan history is a vibe

[@brokenbridge6316]

I respect Kin-Ha. Shame some of my favorite "What if" Star Wars channels won't do a "What if" story on her.

[@aaronsmithjr.5505]

Isn’t the name Melkor from Lord of the Rings??

[@RevDrCCoonansr]

Melkorr ? Lucas so blatantly ripped off Tolkien like that ? I think Disney might owe the Tolkien estate some money.

[@Farbyr]

Want to know what’s sad? This story alone is better than Star Wars movies episodes 7,8,9

[@SkepticalChris]

Melkor? What? was the name "Sauron" or "Morgoth" taken?

[@RevDrCCoonansr]

If Hoth is THAT close to Bespin, how did Vader make it there BEFORE the Falcon and have enough time to hammer out a deal with Lando. Huge plot hole.

[@rickjames5998]

hyperspace shortcut? He called Lando? lol

[@samuelrobles3737]

Day 406 of asking for a part 3 of what if anakin was trained by qui gon

[@jaredquinney204]

[@evanparry901]

Melkor? Like the original name for Morgoth? The big baddy of the LOTR universe? Gotta love a nod to Tolkien

[@ThomasTenma]

What other cloners are there besides the kaminowins?

[@ronjon7942]

Laf, a mere 60,000 light years from Coruscant. Just your average Sunday drive.

[@megasmeags1]

Melkor: he who arises in might. J.R.R Tolkien

[@rickjames5998]

hold up, ya'll got PROTOSS in star wars? wtf

[@logan5018]

dont know if this is just a direct reference or if they both drew inspiration from the same sources but in tolkein's work, most notably the silmarilion, melkor, later renamed morgoth by the elven smith feanor, was the first dark of middle earth and the mightiest of the valar. he is responsible for most if not all evil of the world, and as melkor of kamino had his blood spilt into the ocean, melkor of middle earth poured the essense of his very soul into the lands of middle earth

[@aster4jaden]

Kamino and the Kaminoans have some of my favourite lore.

[@rodan9773]

Funny enough im watching The Bad Batch season 1 Episode 16 Kamino Lost right now lol.

[@MrDeadsuit]

I would love to see one on ithorians if possible

[@mattishansson7972]

somebody has to translate the urkittat text in the bad batch scene with darth sidious episode 3 in the new season. The scene where hemlock and sidous are on the clone lab time 11.40 min in

[@mattishansson7972]

somone with good eyes cause i cant make sense of it.

[@alexwilcox4075]

Isn't Melkor a Lord of the Rings guy?

[@inquisitorgarza312]

Don´t worry I know all about these dolphin genetics manipulator because Generation Tech warn me all about them.

[@aknightofcamelot]

So Melkor (Lord of the Rings) fights Protoss (Starcraft)? Interesting.

I'm sorry but it's been a long time since I read the book but would like to know more about the planet where Anakin Skywalker got his living ship

[@victor-joelryan3509]

The most I’ve seen of Kamino was on Bad Batch so far

[@blackc1479]

If it wasnt for the raging xenophobia on both sides the kaminoans and yevetha would have made an unholy pairing.

[@ProfessorNiiji]

When we meet alien life from other planets, the Kaminos fit the suit. Water- worlds with aquatic type beings. There may be a small civilization living in our oceans here on earth. Europa could possibly have an underwater civilization. We can't see it underneath all that ice and water. Life is rare above ground, but deep in planetary cores and oceans. I'm quite sure life is thriving deep inside planets and the ocean depths.

[@DogeGFSolo]

Wait, so you're saying Kamino experienced climate change? Wtf, were there humans there?? I thought only humans could affect climate changes.

[@corayye4099]

Honey this is a made up story written by a human. It isn’t real.

Kaminoans Kinda Bad Tho

[@saladinbob]

This has to be the single stupidest peace of writing I have ever heard. First the author rips off Tolkien's Legendarium, then he comes out with the mind blowingly stupid melting polar ice caps. Do you have any idea how much ice there would need to be to cover a planet entirely in water? It would have to be a literal ice world. The Earth had a period called Snowball earth lasting millions of years and we still have land. This writing is so bad the author should be arrested for crimes against literacy. This is in no way a dig at this channel, so you still get a thumbs up.
