One thing I need to mention here about the social structure thing is, if terrestrial insects are anything to go, worker class geonosians probably don’t care about their slave like lifestyle all that much since they are part of a hive mind and an important role in the hive as a whole. I know from our mindset it seems cruel but considering hive based creatures usually just act like another cog in a machine I wouldn’t be surprised if Geonesians had similar attitude to slave labour. Bees will literally cook themselves alive to kill hornets, ants make walls out of still living ants that a permanently glued in place, bees can only sting once but if it’s for the good of the hive, they don’t really give a damn. “The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few” and all that

[@tatotaytoman5934]

communism

[@_NIKOS9_NIKOS]

I mean, that canot be entirely the case since atleast some workers like Poggle were clearly not happy with their social placement and thuss they tried to climb up the ladder. Pluss we know due to the fact that Geonossians like Poggle and Klik Klak have individual personalities that they are not entirely hive minded. The fact that they do follow their queens as leaders also proves that (remmember in true hive minds there is no such thing as a leader since all the members share pretty much one mind) Furthermore lets not forget that insects do not feel pain the same way other animals do, because their brains are rather simple. However we know that this is not the case for Geonossians since we've seen them being in agony when they are hurt So this whole situation is still rather F up

To me they actually seem way nicer than I thought they would be, and slowly on the way to evolve with lessened bloodlust if the arena games are any indication.

And this just goes to show why an Ewok hunt on Geonosis with the zombies and some stranded clones would be DOOOOOPE

[@Mathiakle]

Republic Commando 2 could've done a mission where you clear the Geonosians out from under Utapau while order 66 kicks in. Forcing you to either give in and kill a Jedi who is with your squad, or fight it off and warn them of the new threat. That would've made a solid intro mission

[@jenniferbrewer5370]

Did the Geonosians eat those poor clones? (whole body shudder at the very thought)

What Caste was Poggle the Lesser??? He seems to be a mix of all three but he has that weird beard thing. Edit: Nevermind it says in the video lol

[@jasonskeans3327]

He was once a low cast but was such a badass that they gave him power

[@midniteraptor1474]

Poggle literally went from rags to richest by fighting his way to the top. Man i had no idea he was such a badass!

How to pronounce “chitinous” (kai-ten-us) For future reference if you see a C or Ch in a word of Greek origin it probably makes the K sound.

[@gabork5055]

Poggle the Lesser is simply translated as Poggle the Small or more accurately Small Poggle in the Hungarian version. Guess it doesn't make sense after all. Anyway Poggle the Lesser was pretty metal.

I was like seven when S2 of The Clone Wars came out and I remember being absolutely terrified of the Geonisians and their mind control. Like, thought about them all the time and definitely a few nightmares. This vid made me feel justfied.

If there was a reason to create such a thing as Base Delta Zero, the Geonosians were definitely one of them.

[@brother_bear_one7340]

Base Delta Zero wouldn't suffice for Geonosians since they could just go underground... You'd need the Virus Bombs or the Two-Stage Cyclonic Torpedos from WH40K to get the job done.

There is a Geonosian enclave on Tatooine during the events for Star Wars The Old Republic. They are hostile to both Republic and Sith Empire. During the events on Ossus, they are experimented on by the Sith in order to turn them into weapons against the Jedi.

[@shaydowsith348]

The Killiks were experimented on by House Ulgo of Alderaan in SWTOR as well, to turn them against the Sith and the Republic.
