The Legend of Kir Kanos - Star Wars Explained

[@KikBlava]

Crimson Empire is one of the best Star Wars stories of all time. Ever wanted to see an Imperial Guard use his weapon to smash a Stormtrooper's head? It happens. :D

[@isaacriggleman]

I have the book , it's a great read.

[@GAdmThrawn]

Some people (those who don't know much about the EU or didn't have much respect for it) always complained about one thing or another about the old EU, and yet there are stories like this that make it worth while.

[@Jacen_Rockwell]

Agreed... If only they knew the extent to which it would be butchered by Disney.

[@arturourbina6656]

EU are still the best stories, Thrawn. Same goes for Coruscant night, Force unleashed, Death trooper with zombies and Revan. And my personal favorite republic commando novels.

[@sebas8225]

Crimson Empire was great, the conspiracies involved were a great thing.

[@tomdeluca5946]

indeed id rather read these books or novels than mostly anything coming out of disney

[@danielcharland1374]

Interesting character. I never herd of this guy before, but it's nice to see the face and story behind imperial masks sometimes.

[@ggt47]

me too they personalities too ( emperors Red army I mean).

[@tpakz9112]

really? you should read lords of the sith novel and there you will meet sergeant erstin deez

[@ggt47]

captain swezz good? and male or female?

[@tpakz9112]

epic

[@ggt47]

+captain swezz that's great. cool!

[@TheLordPage]

Crimson Empire is so beautifully drawn and choreographed. I have 1 & 2 in French 😂

[@adamniccum8680]

I have the whole saga

[@ryleyameden]

I love the small "nameless" characters who are just freaking bad ass!

[@skut9]

I really wish they would've done a Crimson Empire 4 before Dark Horse handed the rights over to Marvel. Kir and Sinn were (are) perfect.

[@Jacen_Rockwell]

If Marvel had any respect for Star Wars they'd have either made Crimson Empire 4, let Dark Horse finish it, OR AT THE VERY LEAST hired the writers and artists who created Crimson Empire. I have so much hatred against Disney for the criminal sabotage of a beloved mythological universe of endless wonders possibilities. That would be seen by future humanity as we see Greek Egyptian Mythology and classical art.

[@Jedi_flodux]

This is an a amazing comic!! For some who are wondering, its the Crimson Empire Saga

[@wholelifeahead]

Thanks for using my idea Possible other ideas Jerec The Pentastar Allignment Zayne Carricks story Isard and the Lusyanka

[@Nathanielcobb1709]

Please do the Pentastar Alignment

[@Thomas-wl4vs]

Zayne! I remember reading his comics as a kid

[@tichepotato7992]

+Thomas Ditto. When I realized that I had once owned the comic in which Revan had been tormented by the massive destruction caused by the Mandolorian Fleet, I was gobsmacked. The same happened a few years later when I first reached the republic fleet in the old republic MMORPG, and learned it was named after Zayne.

[@lazarefilms9290]

Now I want to see Royal Guards in action, in Rogue One!

[@aminsiddiqui7552]

Finally! A crimson empire video

[@PolarPhantom]

I still can't get over how many Palps there were.

[@bobthecopywriter]

The CrimsonEmpire Graphic Novels and audiobook are among my favorite extended universe materials.

[@DoppiatoriItaliani]

A film about his story would be ideal.

[@TheHonoredMadman]

Love crimson empire, crazy how they mixed up the names for the figure tho between him and jax

[@thedragonballzmasterthedbz7432]

May the force be with you

[@TheLordPage]

OMG YESSS! Thanks for this Matt!

[@therestingmitchface6241]

I think I remember seeing a comic book two pack with his action figure when I was a kid

[@DemonLordDagruel]

A really cool character

[@bradwhite5884]

Love if he becomes Canon and appear in Rebels.

[@ddudz71]

Canon needs a Royal Guard book

[@Jacen_Rockwell]

Dean Dudzik Disney parody, not "canon". "Legends" is canon for real fans.

[@UnthinkableSiam]

had an idea for that! It's called: Crimson Empire: A Star Wars story!

[@Veed.l0]

I really enjoyed Crimson Empire

[@Toad1K]

Imperial guards under their robes look cool, the armour, I mean

[@ryanskille7808]

I've been wondering this for a while and I haven't found any information that I trust. So could you please do and episode of the Battle of Yavin?

[@eugenekrabs2403]

0:15 Hey look its a pokeball

[@kauyanDJ]

Next episode: Mirith Sinn, the tsudere widow.

[@Michael-wv3hd]

I'd never even heard of this character until now to be honest. This video was very enlightening for me, and I'm sure for many others too :)

[@nikitasteblyuk4145]

Keep the good work ;)

[@brettgb1314]

Could you do legends video on R2-D2?

[@Chadaface]

ultimate star wars revenge story

[@LPGD1994]

1:15 Kir Kanos arm is on one side, but the guy is thrown the other side.

[@LPGD1994]

I'm not sure if Kir slapped him or threw him against the wall

[@EfodsMovies]

Oh man this guy sounds like such a badass

[@rowanwood1668]

Love the video! I've been wondering more about Kir Kanos and who he is (was)!

[@sleepymoose453]

Yeah right you have

[@aezzil3536]

+The Insanity Lol 😂

[@joesans7341]

At 0:13, is that a poke ball on his head? He must be a team instinct super ninja, team valour, to meeeeee!

[@casualyoutubeviewer9198]

Damn, I'm early this time. Great video :)

[@casualyoutubeviewer9198]

What?

[@odiemodie1]

With TFA and RO, it might be possible and awesome if they could make a movie on Kir Kanos and the Crimson Empire... RO took SW to another story of what we know now, this could do the same, as a stand alone movie perhaps.

[@Jacen_Rockwell]

odiemodie1 Ha! Disney actually using the many amazing original ideas and taking a few risks instead of nolstalgia overkill and ridiculousness? Never. Rogue One is the ONLY movie so far that was enjoyable. And only because it happened prior to a pre-ordained arc.

[@Germi92]

Do one about SELKATH and MANAAN

[@VipMike]

great stroy hope 2 C a movie from it . Mtfbwu always my friend.

[@buckaroo1980]

Please do a scouttrooper video!

[@jskagenful]

What were all the artifacts located in the Jedi temple?

[@theongreyjoy3306]

make a video of every moff and grand moff

[@ameersalim4951]

Do Captain Cohl. From Cloak of Deception.Or do Nute Gunray or Lott Dod or Rush Clovis

[@jay__birdie]

hey can you by any chance make a video about what happened to lux bonteri after the clone wars? I have been wondering about this for a while.

[@kelph228]

Do Calo Nord please

[@Optimusprime809]

Can we get a video on Atton Rand and Mira from KOTOR 2?

[@darthblacc4421]

Cornor jax became a sith lord

[@jskagenful]

Also what happened to all the artifacts?

[@elliotttrzasko7047]

Can u do a video on Mandolore the Ultimate?

[@samsungminlee]

What a badass

[@tolleetdialogum4463]

+Star Wars Explained Do a video on Carnor Jax

[@DenDhur]

so much cooler than any prequal jedi

[@samuelthompson7497]

Even obi wan?

[@DenDhur]

+Samuel Thompson .... you got me, oh and Mace ofc, but you know what I mean, I wished more of them would feel like they lived up to the "Knight" part instead of the Monk one

[@samuelthompson7497]

Bozelot Yeah its a shame they had so many rules that prevented them from really being a Knight

[@atsukana1704]

This one was a bit confusing, it sounded like he was battling himself and stuff

[@ggt47]

The emperor red army

[@ggt47]

emperors

[@vanders4198]

Ew, makes them sound like communists.

[@ggt47]

Vanders​ yes ,I know but I didn't mean that way . But let's face it the empire are worse even (though are not real)they blow up planets took down a ancient religion and a government which stood for a thousand years. I could be wrong be they are just as awful.

[@ggt47]

Vanders ha if you took away the N in your you'd be vader 😂

[@12casbro]

Confusing

[@harrisonmorgan7492]

Screw Kir Kanos, i would've won against kir kanos if it wasn't for that Rebel and Lizard

[@jayburn00]

Yea, I guess it sucks to be you... Nice job losing your star destroyer to kir Kanos as well. After losing another when the the lusyanka curb stomped it hours earlier. Couldn't you have warned your general that it was a trap? What happened to scanning for life signs? I mean your general was incompetent and I could understand wanting to get rid of him eventually, but those star destroyers are expensive. Also, did you ever find it ironic making your flagship a ship called Emperor's Revenge since you played a major role in the emperor having a permadeath?

[@IGPlug-he5ie]

Legends is to crazy

[@IGPlug-he5ie]

+King Commando why are you so critical of disneys Star Wars its not bad

[@Jacen_Rockwell]

No it's just complex and deep because the SW universe allows for infinite possibilities beyond just the original trilogy characters and events. Millenia before Yavin and After Endor, from many new angles.

[@bomberguy06]

:15 Pokeball helmet

[@Ilichburger]

Please do the Order of the Terrible Glare! Wierd, kind of retro, and yet recently made canon by a star wars rebels book, of all things!

[@isaiahschlimm2696]
