The Selkath's handling of the situation in their own city is asinine. They put mortal enemies together in close proximity, both with a desire to take what the other is there for and continually punish the soldiers for coming to blows. If the sith had no intention of taking the city by force, their soldiers would no doubt eventually act of their own accord and put anyone not on their own side to the sword regardless of their own orders. I can't help but think that the Selkath either have a fundamental misunderstanding of human psychology or were simply too simple-minded to understand the powder-keg they were filling up on their own planet. It would be one thing if they had forced them together on some space station well above the planet's surface, but to give both belligerents *garrisons* on the planet and expect them to play nice after years of bitter fighting represents such self-destructive pacifism and ignorance that the Jedi council would raise an eyebrow.
Both sides need the Kolto to heal their troops so both sides on paper played by the rules, mostly. With some soldiers on each side butting heads and getting violent on occasion, but no full scale battles. The selkath know they hate each other but are neutral because they want money from both sides. Secretly they brokered the deal with the republic to mine kolto below the surface. Some of their council members knew the sith were evil and made this deal to help the republic win.
Manaan was probably the most interesting planet in the game. It didn't belong neither to the Republic nor to the Sith, so both factions used its neutrality for their own benefit. This cold war deserved to be more explored
I used to turn up the Selkath talking on my computer speakers to scare my girlfriend, such good times...I'd turn it up so loud I bet my neighbors heard the demonic gurgles of Selkath speaking
Yep, which goes to show that "simp" really isn't that innovative of a word as people made it out to be in 2019 - 2020, aside from perhaps the context lol
They act like bullies. And bullies will usually throw the first punch if you fight back verbally rather than just take it. They were trying to bait the Republic into starting the fight but honestly they were getting pretty close to starting it themselves.
It used to mean simpleton back then. Gullible. Funnily enough the "simps" of today are essentially gullible, gullible enough to fall for those OF chicks.
I always loved/hated this planet. It felt like the whole thing was a satire of people who say “both sides are just as bad” even when one side is quantifiably worse. I loved it because the satire was so spot on, and I hated it because it got to real the more things dragged on.
Imagine Manaan being also neutral during the Galactic Civil War and having these conversations played by stormtroopers and Rebels: Stormtroopers: "Rebel scum, one day, the Emperor will vanish you from the face of the Galaxy" Rebels: "We will see that the day you hit your target" Stormtroopers: "HOW DARE YOU?!" *Shoot the Rebels without hitting none of them*
Does anyone else find it weird how the republic soldiers with the helmets have a blue tint to their face? It looks like they're suffocating or something. You can get a good view at 1:03.
There was an implications of a scuffle when you vist the courts for first time,two deplomats are argueing with the judges about being pentalised for the 6 against 3 fight
2:52 i always felt bad for Yortal Ixlis, sith kept bothering him when he was already in bad situation, placed on manaan by czerka to work until he repaid a debt.
I was half expecting you to have bass-boosted the "You gutless simp"

the first sith was just like your standard youtube troll
the republican simp vs the sith chad
Did he just call him a simp?

Selkaths show how centrism really doesn’t work in every scenario
I always wondered how the sith would respond if the Republic troops fought back verbally rather than just brushing the insults off.

Did he just call him a simp in 2003

Hello Liquid Snake.
Not yet snake! Its not over yet!
I live on! THROUGH THIS ARM!!!
1:14 Foreshadowing for when Malak attacks Dantootine
Imagine if the Sith and Republic forces on Manaan challenged each other to a dance off

You lack wisdom
Imagine Manaan being also neutral during the Galactic Civil War and having these conversations played by stormtroopers and Rebels:
Stormtroopers: "Rebel scum, one day, the Emperor will vanish you from the face of the Galaxy"
Rebels: "We will see that the day you hit your target"
Stormtroopers: "HOW DARE YOU?!" *Shoot the Rebels without hitting none of them*
I'm sure Tarkin wouldn't tolerate Selkath "insolence" even if it was more lucrative to respect their neutrality.

Dollar-store Republic-issue helmet, suffocating it’s soldiers
Why did that Sith call the Ithorian a fish?
Insult? Perhaps an oversite and that merchant was ment to be selkath at one ponit
He can't tell the difference between the two?
Good thing I always back up the Republic against the Sith.
Am both impressed and disappointed that they never even ever brawled against each other in the city.

How do you get clear Sith Armor like the one shown on Steam? Mine shows grey.

Can someone timestamp when the sith calls the republic soldier a simp?

@@PapitoQinn thanks alot
@@PapitoQinnlegendary
It could be cool if there’s a video of the sith trooper voices.
You mean compile the voice files of sith troopers?
@@PapitoQinn yes
Why are the sith so cartoonishly evil? Like, they defect from the Republic and all of a sudden become jeering bullies (and British for some reason?)
The British part does amuse me.
Especially since some of them are voiced by Liquid Snake from Metal Gear Solid himself, Cam Clarke.
They are evil because they were written by a moral objectivist.
