Technology in the Star Wars universe is very bizarrely limited in many areas. Like for example, every civilization should have the technology to build a Dyson Swarm, yet not a single one has, even though it is such a logical thing to do and by far the easiest way of obtaining large amounts of energy. Any solar system with one could build multiple lasers as powerful as the Death Star, and it wouldn't even be a challenge with the amount of power obtained from a star. They don't seem to use any artificial intelligence either, at least not usefully, and I'm not talking about creating sentience, I'm just talking about simple machine learning that could easily replace probably 99% of all jobs in the galaxy, instead they use their most advanced AIs in stupid robots that can barely do their job, I mean seriously, the CIS used battle droids as spaceship pilots, why the fuck do they even need physical droids piloting starships, using their badly built limbs to manipulate controls, when you could just stick a usb plug in the ship's computer and make it a billion times more capable than any human pilot, and this being with just simple machine learning, not even anything closely resembling sentience, like all droids seem to have. They used freaking people and droids to build the Death Star for decades, when they could've just built a single self replicating space probe with very simple AI, launched it into an asteroid belt, and have a few hundred Death Stars built during the same time. And don't get me started on their medicine. How the hell is everyone still mortal? We're almost beginning to understand how to slow down aging with current technology, and soon we'll be able to stop it entirely, probably in 100 years at most, it's certainly a lot easier than making you grow gills to live in the ocean (which will also eventually be possible). Yet they can travel through the entire galaxy faster than light but can't save a pregnant woman because she "lost the will to live"? You just can't think of Star Wars as sci fi, it's just plain fantasy.

'Perfectionists' that never bothered to actually adapt to their planet, limited their improvement to only the realms of biology despite being in a galaxy with fantastic machine technology.

Given that perfection doesn't actually exist, perfectionism is largely just what you deem to be 'perfection'. With that said, perfectionists almost always get themselves obsessively stuck to one or several areas, to the utter refusal of considering any options available, so i would say that the Kaminoans are indeed perfectionists, albeit not so much in a practical manner.

Cast aside, as the Empire had literally thousands of worlds from which to glean billions of slaves, conscripts, enlistees and officers. Not to mention, after the destruction of the Trade Federation, they played fast-and-loose with their own laws against battle droids, mass-producing "security droids" like the KX series.

That’s my favorite planet in Star Wars. Completely covered in ocean and constant storms

[@geetslys]

Cool! Are you British?

[@louis8487]

@@geetslys No, Texan. Which is why the idea of an ocean planet with constant storms is appealing to me lmao. Although Texas isn't landlocked I live in the middle of it and the ocean is at least a 6 hour drive away from where I live and we hardly get any storms here. That contrasts with my love of the ocean and storms.

Listening to the history and culture of the Kaminoans to some extent reminds me of the Tleilaxu from the Dune universe. Like the Kaminoans they were masters of genetic engineering, creating high quality meats for the nobles to dine on, 'Gholas' which are a kind of clone that possesses the memories of its template (that is also how they perpetuate their own existence, through gholas of themselves), 'Twisted' Mentats such as Piter de Vries and eventually they even managed to synthesize the Spice Melange, breaking the monopoly the planet Arrakis has on its production. Their work on genetics is at the core of their religious beliefs and they are all quite devout, and they view everyone else in the universe with a certain degree of contempt, even as they sell their creations to them.

[@lXlElevatorlXl]

Star Wars has many parallels or inspirations from Dune

[@donnywilliams9494]

I like that they clearly took inspiration from the Greys. Not just in looks, but in that the Greys are usually depicted as very interested in biology, creating hybrids and dissecting cattle, while supposedly being very cold and clinical about it.

Great video! The Kaminoans remind me of the Trisolarans (San-ti) from The Three Body Problem series & the Qu from The All Tomorrows series. The Trisolarans were forced to evolve in order to survive the turbulent & destructive nature of their unpredictable Three Body Star System & became ruthless conquerors in search of a new home. The Qu were merciless & horrific eugenicists that sought to spread their ideology & control across the universe, mutilating /completely altering the evolutionary path of millions of species throughout space during their reign.

When you realize a Kaminoan is just tall gray alien (also lacking moral compass, apathetic, and geneticists)

[@geetslys]

Uh, I mean what else what they be other than tall and gray aliens?

[@aedufare6205]

@@geetslys @Geetsly's Oh haha there's that way of reading it, I thought I wrote it funny. Should've typed "tall greys" (Just looked up grey is British spelling of gray). According to ufology some people like Credo Mutwa have seen tall versions of the men in black little greys. The thought is that the tall greys are either higher status or even the actual sentience behind the little greys, and that the little greys are remote controlled avatars. Also to note is that a lot of ufo abductee stories include being poked, prodded, examined, even experimented on by greys on a table in a lab/ER room-like setting in various intrusive manners and that they are likely the less compassionate of the alien races. Therefore the "lacking moral compass, apathetic, geneticist" connection with the Kaminoans. Just seeing your video just struck me that the Kaminoans are actually just like tall greys. I've always felt like there was a sinister something behind the Kaminoans I just couldn't put my finger on. Must be those distant, chilling eyes. Am just getting deeper into Star Wars lore thanks to KZbin channels like yours and have been wondering about the background of the Kaminoans ever since I saw the second movie. Great video, was always curious about them!

With all the genetic engineering and cloning, I guess that precludes them from being force sensitive not to mention heading down the dead end of duplicative fading and extinction.

The way they moved looked so cool. Totally smooth and efficient movement.

[@Crim_Zen]

Seems fine from their perspective. For example, it's pretty easy to judge a cannibal for being evil when you aren't the one who is forced to make that decision to survive. For the Kaminoan, this outcome was one that took generations of self inflicted hardships to form. It was all they knew, so they had no complaints.
