The Most TERRIFYING Planets in Star Wars Lore Compilation (2 hours)

That explanation of Geonosis makes Yoda's line at the end of Attack of the Clones make so much more sense. The Jedi hadn't won that battle, they'd been lucky that those that survived, survived.

I have 2 Yoda theories for you. 1. They are the Light Side equivalent of the Dathomerians, a people who evolved on a planet with a light side nexus. We have at least 2 species like that for the dark side, but we've never seen a light side people like that. This might explain why the few Yoda we see are so powerful in the force too. 2. Yoda never actually knew his people. He could have been an orphan, never learning their customs and ways. I think this is way less likely because he doesn't act like someone who's never seen another of their kind when Yaddle is around.

[@solidicone]

Speaking to the battle of genosis. I don't think the movies portrayed the state of the jedi order very well. It just sorta brushes off how devastating the battle was for them. Granted there were still alot of jedi out in the galaxy, the fact that so many died in one place really should of been a huge slap into reality for them. I mean they just sorta showed up and thought that just being there would win. Sidious knew that would be the response but he also understood that the jedi of this era were training mostly in an era of peace. There just weren't many battle tested jedi. You'd think yoda himself would of went to the main arena but he didn't. Granted Mace Windu was there but they really should of had all hands on deck for that fight.

I agree that the slaughter of the Geonosians was horrific and tragic. Still, if you’re going to build a planet destroying weapon for someone you should realize that this person is really capable of anything, and could one day turn against you 🤷🏻

In Star Wars inquisitor you see how Iskat Jedi Padawan was part of a support team along with the 200 Jedi in the battle of Geonosis. The story shows how woefully unprepared and soft the Jedi were, but for Iskat, she was terrified at first when she dispatched an enemy soldier then when her fellow students were about to be slain she dove deeper into the force slaying all the enemies and saving the support team. Instead of gratitude however the other padawans looked at her with scorn.

I feel like Abeloth's planet should be high on these lists. All the carnivorous plants are bad enough, but it's also home to the fountain of power and the pool of knowledge. Then there's Abeloth herself who has complete control over the planet and is basically Force Cthulhu.

[@Lucky13Ravens]

The Fountain of Power and Pool of Knowledge aren't on Abeloth's planet. They are in the Beyond Shadows, which is a vaguely described metaphysical location reached by entering the force and disconnecting from yourself using meditation. Whether it is easier to reach from her planet is a different question.

[@Destiny87]

​@Lucky13Ravens You can get to them from Beyond Shadows, but they do physically exist on Abeloth's planet. That's where that sith lord guy fell into the pool of knowledge, and where Abeloth tempted Ben and Vestara with the font of power.

It’s not that it’s nethema is a corrupted place but it is completely stripped of life force, dark and light.

[@EventHorrorEyesOn]

“Bathed in the icy influence of the dark side” very nice line there.

another observation regarding the bettle of geonosis and beyond: droids exhibit no force energy, meaning no jedi could have seen or predicted the presence of the droid army that Dooku had at his disposal. They never could have seen it coming, literally. not sure if someone more brilliant came to the same conclusion, but just found it an interesting tidbit i noticed after watching this vid for at least the 50th time, lol.

I'm thinking Sidious probably exterminated the Geonosians so as to erase any possibility of them speaking of Palpatine's true identity, his connection to the Separatists as well as his involvement behind the Clone War in general.

Dathomir is definitely the most terrifying planet. In the books and comics the night sisters are notorious for traveling the galaxy and kidnapping human men to bring them back to dathomir. They would use magic on them to increase their stamina for the breeding rituals, some men would breed up to 60 night sisters during the two day ritual. They would be held in temples and their minds corrupted by magic and pleasure until they loved being used for breeding. After a few rituals he would be given the choice to go home or to stay on dathomir where he would get treated like a king and get to take multiple wives that would do anything to please him and keep him happy. It's truly disgusting, I'm laterally shaking in terror just thinking about it...

46:00 Sidious wants Ultimate power. Dathomeer is essentially a window's eye into ancient history. His rivals are there, and they can be easily contained. Lastly, once their uses were up he would Force Drain the entire planet. There is a lot of reasons really why to isolate since it provides information of the past which is knowledge which is power, it provides a containment for all his prisoners which will either die there or be strong enough for entertainment, and finally the nexus there is a once in a lifetime chance to extend his life span once the right ritual is set up. The coven is against him so setting that ritual would take a while so isolating that planet is the easiest and most efficient way to go about several plots at once.

A moon sized Death Star would have effects on nearby planet’s weather, and their tectonic plates etc. Just like our moon does our Earth. That always bugged me.

[@darth.dominus.the.savage]

A death star is less dense than a moon so while still massive, its gravitational effects would not be the same as a large rocky moon that has the density to cause a stronger gravity, a death star is essentially a hollowed out structure where as a moon sized rock is a solid dense and heavier structure throughout, the full gravitational force of a moon effects things much harder than something less dense than itself, it's less to do with the size of the object that's asserting it's own force but more to do with the density of the object coz it's the density that has the stronger force... does that make sense?

According to Legends lore all metal ore mined from Tatooine is also unusable, if you extract the metal and try to make something out of it it just corrodes away to nothing super fast, so for that reason it's my headcanon that whatever planet killer ordnance they used also destroyed the natural resources of the place while glassing the surface. It was less effective than the life-eater virus though since people actually survived by just hiding in caves.

[@fracturedraptor7846]

Honestly I think the force wielder to fear the most is one who can use the dark and the light. Emotions fuel the dark. If you can do that without it turning into a runaway reaction, and maintain the focus and peace to hone the power, even simple powers become world shattering very quickly. It's not enough to just fuel power. You have to focus it and make it stronger. Unchecked power destroys indiscriminately. Focused power could very well make the Death Star, even the system busting variant, look like a child's toy. Like Vader famously said. It pales in comparison to the power of the force.

So at 14:50 is the reason i've never subscribed to this channel. As a lore nut I know you know that the Jedi do not wear armor for a specific reason. Hubris is not it. The Jedi Do NOT wear armor because of the Ruusan Reformations. After a 100 year war with the Brotherhood of the Sith. When Bane tricked the Brotherhood, and formed the Rule of Two. The Jedi thought they had won. The Republic was reeling from all of this, and many of the peoples of the Republic feared that the Jedi could or would become like the Sith. Jedi held military rank and positions. They own huge armadas and armies, and armor. Infact the wore some of the best armor the Republic could afford because of the War. The Jedi Realized after the war that they were not trusted, so they along with members of the Senate set up the Ruusan Reformations. Where the Jedi were to give up their armies, armadas, armor, and military ranks. Jedi were to leave the Senate as politicians. And replace their armor with Robes as they had once wore. This along with 1000 years of peace is why the Jedi did not wear armor.

It's pretty easy to see why this group of Jedi weren't very successful on Geonosis: 8:52 let's be honest, these idiots don't look like they've ever even held a sword before this moment. And WTF is up with the Asian girl doing that "straight arm chop/head turn/Stop…in the name of love" hand signal move😂? They couldn't find actors that actually look like they might know what they're doing? They must have been dating someone to get these roles. This scene cracks me up every time. I'll say this, at least they don't seem to have anyone doing the useless Ashoka reverse grip. I don't know what the f'ck that's all about. It seems like the type of thing you'd do if you're dueling someone with much less experience than you, so out of a sense of fair play you decide to give yourself a handicap. There's certainly no benefit to it: you have no reach, parrying would be really weak, you can't really block with it. If it was a regular sword you might be able to block "something" with the flat of the blade, but a lightsaber would go right through your arm. I guess if you're using two sabers and you're holding one in a normal grip, you'd have less of a chance for one to get in the way of the other, so there's that. I've heard people argue "well she uses the force, so it gives her more strength." That would be true, but whenever they're dueling someone with them it's always another force user, so it just negates that advantage.
