The Disturbing Secret of Jabba's Palace | Star Wars Legends Lore

[@sausagelawyer575]

The disturbing secret that that platform he is on is actually a toilet and slaves had to clean it

[@EmperorMonkey35]

Sausage Lawyer if you think of all the weird people on earth, I'm sure there's at least one person in the galaxy who'd want that job

[@EmperorMonkey35]

Sausage Lawyer exactly, think of the waiting list galaxy wide 😂

[@KossolaxtheForesworn]

that is more disturbing than brains in jars.

[@stefan1024]

Jabba is a fat disgusting worm, I'd say the world is his toilet.

[@TheThreehigh]

Excuse me what the hëçk

[@lukevankleef4245]

I always found it kind of weird that the Bomar just let Jabba set up shop in their monastery. I mean, I know he would probably kill them if they didn't, but still. Imagine you are a monk that spends his entire life trying to reach enlightenment, all while loud music blasts from the basement, the occasional thug stumbles into your room, and the knowledge that your monastery is a cesspool of sin. Makes me wonder if some gave up and joined Jabba's posse to have some fun.

[@seatspud]

The screaming of tortured droids would be another annoying distraction.

[@enchantressdeath1289]

They're enlightenment and meditation skills must be epic. Likewise, I'm surprised a coup wasn't executed, but I guess they were afraid of what would happen to them if it failed. Jabba had a lot of armed forces and criminals, and Jabba's presence also warded off other hostile criminals seeking to cause trouble.

[@noxy4966]

They probably took it as a challange to see how well they are progressing.

[@nexusofboredom]

I heard they were planning to " recruit " him.. you know.. get his brain in to jar.. but he dies before they did.. they then took that twilek guys ( Bib Fortuna) brain instead lol those monks scare me more than Jabba ever did ..

[@niagarawarrior9623]

they probably have a different sense of what 'enlightened' means.

[@cozyapustaja8249]

Going into the monastery for a cool place to hang low, only for the inhabitants to forcefully remove your brain. God damn is that terrifying. It’s like the cyber men from Dr Who

[@JohnMorris-ge6hq]

Nope. At least a Cyberman can hear and speak. A brain in a jar would be a living Hell - No senses. Hence the brain sceaming.

[@jszabolcs]

Thank you, I always wondered what that two stormtroopers were talking about on the death star, also if that was a BT-16 at Jabba's place wandering in the background when the two droids walk in, it's fun getting to know the origin of the things that walk here and there randomly in some scenes. Nicely done.

[@PerovNigma]

All this talk of brains reminds me of a Tumblr post I stumbled across a few weeks ago: *What they say:* There is a skeleton inside you. *The truth:* You are inside your skeleton. You are a brain.

[@swfcocs1]

Joseph Simpson the thing about philosophy is its great when you just think about it but the minute you tell everyone else about it it sounds boring-bit like the spider brain monks :-)

[@joshuafogg6600]

Joseph Simpson We all pilot our own personal meat vehicle.

[@daanfluit9257]

well but really what are we then, a brain or are we a human body so I think that both can be assumed as right

[@matteobaldini9837]

I think that we are a brain and a nervous system, so saying that we're only a brain inside a skull is kind of wrong. We are a body with a skeleton inside us.

[@phillipadams6735]

A brain can not function without a heart, an immune system, lungs, etc. What they say: Consciousness arises from matter. The Truth: Matter along with anything you can perceive, arises from consciousness.

[@Louthanjen]

you mean where jabba hides his pasta made of slugs?

[@nicholasfarrell5981]

I remember this happening to Tash in Galaxy of Fear. A serial killer used her body for revenge, while she got to learn to use her fledgling Force powers to compensate for the loss of her body just enough to keep from totally losing her shit. Turned out Jabba had convinced the monks to debrain dangerous criminals and keep them alive so he could have them put into new bodies and have their talents available. Uncle Hoole was PISSED when he learned what happened to his niece.

[@togglefire3537]

I don't think anyone including the monks were ready to BD brained. I mean it's one thing to achieve enlightenment but it's another thing when you have to sit around all day and you can't even twiddle your thumbs. The only thought going through my head if I was sitting on a shelf as a brain would be "I'd give anything to be kicked in the balls right now." A little bit graphic but they say you miss the little things. I'd rather take on a star destroyer in an a-wing then meet a b'omarr Monk. You know Disney would never create anything so awesome and for the adults. I love Legends and I love these videos. Keep it up and maybe do more adult style stories that are creepy or just graphic. 😊

[@benjaminstevens3788]

Toggle Fire You raise an interesting point, and this is exactly what the Bo'marr (sp?) and the real-life monks (who do not put their brains in jars, but do similar things that seem crazy or creepy) are renowned for. They CAN separate themselves from the physical inclinations and needs of the world, at least to a near-physiological level, and it is the belief of some groups that with extensive enlightenment and perfect meditation one can transcend the physical world and live past the lifespan of the body, shunning food, drink and even air... though it is possible that at that point they are simply dying. One might argue that they are right to do so, as any value that can be sought or derived from the physical plane pales in comparison to the value of meditation within the ethereal. Indeed, one might believe that everything that we know and love is reducible to the absurd acts of chemicals, and there is therefore no intrinsic value in this material universe.

[@Skycapten93]

It's something that almost intrigues me. I've always wondered if I were to lose my vision, how would I view the world, or if I were to lose my hearing how would I adapt? If I were to transend the physical body and reality as I know it... This is why people try psychedelics. Spiritual enlightenment. But I think it's best left in a single experience or maybe just a few. "Death is a part of life"

[@madscientistshusta]

I doubt it, iv acually experienced 100% brain body dissociation through ketamine. The thing is,you dont realize how badly your thoughts are weighed down by your body, everything you think,everything! Has to do with food,or sex,or getting shelter. Every thought is rooted in the past preceptions of your human body. I never felt more pure in thought then when i did ketamine because you dont even know ur human or that you have eyes or can smell,you simply become a pure unhindered thought cloud,it is these moments i have reached my more life changing conclusions. I imagine if,sensory and memory was handled properly and you wernt just experiencing darkness always it would be like that,the trails they go through are probably dissociation techniques

[@brian554xx]

The kind of mind that endures a lifetime of preparation to be a brain in a jar is exactly the kind of mind that can withstand being placed in a jar. I sympathize. If/when we become capable of copying our minds to hardware, I plan to do so. The electronic me can focus on thoughts, and the meaty me can more freely enjoy the flesh.

[@starwarsnerd100]

Toggle Fire 1) Disney also owns Marvel, which has all sorts of adult stuff in the Netflix shows 2) under the New Canon we got the Decraniated, just as weird and scary

[@oom-3262]

Ah, human bodies are so fragile. I achieve enlightment every time I switch off. Also, poor spider droids, carryng disgusting brains all day.

[@seanduncan8007]

I really love all the content Eckhart puts out, but sometimes I come for the music. This is by far one my favorite channels, its all so well put together

[@silasd7348]

I remember reading those Star Wars Novels when I was little. I had the Jabba's palace one, and they had a chapter on the monks and spiders. Always creeped me out.

[@Bazkaal]

Well since I read about it in a complete cross section when I was 7 years old, I was absolutely terrified and had nightmares about brain transportation for a week so thx for a noice reminder

[@snake1602]

Well, if I could have my brain in a jar labeled, “ABNORMAL,” I should have a new body pretty quick. My “brain screaming” would only be to lure Igor over. 😁

[@seanmcgrath3826]

[@darthutah6649]

What could possibly be worse than torturing robots and occasionally throwing one of your strippers in a pit to get eaten? Yeah, I guess that's pretty disturbing.

[@adamkhan7469]

Crazy I remember reading that Galaxy of fear book as a kid, I never thought it would be tied to the canon somehow. Potentially in an important way with the Mando series going forward.

[@gagaplex]

So Jabba just moved in? While the monks were still there? "Hey, me and my gang, we're your roommates now." "Oh, okay."

[@eyesofstatic9641]

lol that's what I was thinking!

[@italym6410]

​@@eyesofstatic9641I'd make love to jabba

Great video, I always felt true horror at the mention of the B'Omarr monks, I read tales of jabba's palace and the other anthology books like it.

[@Funkography]

Few ideas. What if the CIS built the Death Star Recusant Class Light Destroyer vs Something (Assault Frigate Mark II or MC75 maybe?) Trench Fleet vs Thrawn Fleet Best Support Ship, best tactics, best tactician Covenant vs Mass Effect Universe (Minus Reapers)

[@lachyboyle7320]

I've read the book of 'Tales from Jabba's Palace', there is a lot of disturbing secrets and interesting facts in there.

[@someguythatlookslikeme8306]

Tales from Jabbas Palace was an excellent book. All the backstories of EVERY alien in the movie; EVERY SINGLE ONE!! I love Jabbas adjutant trying ti use his robotic spider legs to try and check his galactic bank account to see the status of all the money he had embezzled from the Hutt. Also trying to buy a body to have his brain transplanted by automated surgical procedure nd the clever ways the monks were preventing this from happening. Great Stories!!

[@person14876]

You should do more videos like this

Never get drunk at Jabba's palace. You'll wake up in a gold bikini chained to his throne.

well that explains that little micro machine figure I had of a brain in a jar with robot spider legs

[@xanjafilms7853]

Star Wars has so many darker storylines, I think it would be so crazy to see one of these storylines fully fleshed out on screen.

[@Dalipsingh111111]

Might I ask for a verses video of the Reapers against the Yuuzhan Vong? Army of Synthetics vs Army of Organics to a extreme degree.

[@zacpanther6364]

Who would have thought that Star Wars could have easily been a gory horror film. No I wouldn't like my brain transferred into spider. I'd rather keep my body thanks

[@graysonwolfgang5003]

I love your jams! I listen to resonance and velvet 2600 very frequently. Keep up the great videos man

[@Myportie]

Pretty sure there's a comic where Bib Fortuna's cousin comes to Tatooine for some scheme, and Bib convinces the monks to swap his brain with his cousin's, giving Bib a new flesh body.

[@Thnielsen85]

a brain in a jar.. hmm.. no more back, shoulder and hip pain.. sounds interesting

[@ibrahimllenko6922]

Brain in a jar? You mean - like a politician?

[@georgetrapp6666]

The collected book of short stories "Tales from Jabba's Palace" includes Bib Fortuna's fate after Jabba's demise on the sail barge, Fortuna is brain-spider-jarred, but seems to remember the long password to a sort of credit safe, similar to an ATM, that holds Jabba's account. Jabba's riches could easily remedy Fortuna's perdicament. However, the claw manipulator on Fortuna's spider droid body lacks the agility to punch the code, especially before he can enter it correctly, it times out, or locks him out after too many failed attempts in one day. Not to mention him dropping the implement he is clutching in his claw. I believe the story is titled "Of The Day's Annoyances".

[@swashbucklemchrue2323]

My question is, where do they keep getting the perimeter droids? I doubt they build them themselves.

[@3Rayfire]

I knew it was a Bo'marr monastery...had no idea about the monks themselves or brain spiders. Crazy.

[@billylyons690]

Sounds like the titans from the prequel to dune books. They removed their brains to live forever.

[@neeks3713]

I have a suggestion for a video, kind of crazy though. You should take all of the ships in star wars, from all factions and eras, and canon and legends, and see if it would beat everything in halo. Again, just a suggestion, and might be crazy.

[@redenginner]

In depends on the era of halo. In the current era of the setting humanity is only barely stronger than the divided covenant. -spoilers- Cortana controlling pretty much all the forerunner remnants and most of the UNSC battlefleet would put up a good fight but its no real match for what even the galactic empire has. The only faction that would be a legit challenger to heavyweights such as star wars and the imperium of man is the pre halo ring forerunners. So if its forerunners star wars loses bad and gets turned into chimps, and if its anything else starwars utterly destroys once hyperlanes are mapped out.

[@neeks3713]

Demo_the _man Thanks, I can see your point there. See, I do not know much about halo, but I am still learning, thanks to these types of channels. What I forgot to put in the first comment was that it would include everything in all of their eras, both star wars and halo, and if all of their factions joined together, for some reason. Boiling it down, the idea was all of the forces from the CIS, Republic, Empire, Rebellion, First Order, and the Resistance/New Republic going up against everyting in halo from all of their factions and eras. I remember seeing some stuff about halo some time ago, and I wondered if it would win against star wars. Again, I do not know much about halo, and this channel introduced me to the expanded universe stuff, which is sadly non-canon thanks to disney. I hope I do not offend anyone due to my lack of knowledge about halo.

[@drearyplane8259]

Nickel Boi It depends whether you talk about Precursors. If so, it is really impossible to comprehend - they can murder anything instantly, but so can the Ones (if I remember correctly) and very powerful Force users.

[@CEWWIN]

I love you for your use of Resonance

[@Zenas521]

It is interesting that the monks let Jaba put in a Rancor pit in their monastery.

[@anthonylis7646]

the B'Omarr are the same people who made the monastery in the clone wars movie as its called the B'Omarr monastery i wonder if the monks did the same brain stuff in the teth one from the movie

[@redpandarampage2191]

I'm surprised Jabba and his gang kept the monks around instead of killing/ kicking them out when moving into the palace.

[@raendymion3149]

Love those two stormtroopers. There is at Scariff two others who there talking about the droids, and an oldest version. Nice reference! And sorry for bad english, I'm only a recent french subscribers. Nice job, keep it on!

[@navilluscire2567]

Y'know for those who have not prepared for the transformation (learning to let go of their senses) it can be very horrifying becuase your basically depived of your *"normal"* (non spider-y..) senses (relatively) suddenly! **brain screaming**

[@starlores1002]

Man, if you're looking to divorce yourself from the physical world and material distractions, Jabba moving in with his crew would be the WORST thing to happen.

[@nicholasmorsovillo2752]

If I was born in the Star Wars universe and faced something like that I would rather either die in the cold hard vacuum of space or be force choked by Darth Vader or be killed by a lightsaber than have my brain put in a liquid filled jar and be carried around by a spider robot or and I hate putting this mildly being slowly eaten alive by the sarlacc because that is a fate worse than death.

[@nerdsdrinkwhiskey6972]

Was there ever given a solid reason why the monks put their brains in the jar? Was there ever an explanation as to how that leads one to enlightenment?

[@NationalSniper]

A fate worse then death.

[@Joey-db8bv]

If the monks started doing this against people will to increase thier ranks. It's clear that even the monks started to go insane after awhile and die do to mental stress, lack of physical activity and stimulation.

[@AS-vn8bc]

this was a great vid man but can you do one where what would happen if the CIS would win?

What's stopping someone that got forced into one of these things from straight up stabbing the person that did it in the heart? those legs look pretty pointy and a hutt doesn't look all that resistant to stabs
