I never realized that their were parallels between the prequels and the new jedi order series. Also canderous, and his follow mandalorians encountered a vong ship thousands of years before the battle of yavin but the ship escaped, and much later before the events of the phantom menace maul fought and killed a yuuzhan vong warrior.
It came from the Abominors colossal planet eating droids that destroyed their entire galaxy, the Abominors are the reason why the Vong invaded the Star Wars Galaxy thats why they HATE droids
Interesting comparisons and a unique lore video, that isn't just an overview, but a nice look at comparing two different eras, but also looking at the time of its inception in the EU. Great stuff, id love to see more Yuuzahn Vong content. NJO is my favourite era.
19 books of pure perfection. The eu vs Disney era is like Dragonball gt vs ...(shudders/cringes).....Dragonball super..... The difference is so massive.
Could you please cover the two battles where Luke and - I think - Kyp Duron used the force to manipulate Yuuzhan Vong created black holes (I'm pretty sure that happened).
Personally, the Yuuzhan Vong are some of my all time favorite aliens in all of fiction. For lack of a better word, they are unique. Unlike the Galactic Empire, who relied on massive warships, planet destroying weapons and endless numbers of Stormtroopers, the Vong are basically a galactic locust that swept across the galaxy and terraformed worlds. Their organic technology was something unlike anything the galaxy had ever seen, and that includes most of fiction as a whole. If I had to make a comparison, the Vong would be similar to the Borg from Star Trek only instead of massive cubes the Vong used Worldships, Chazrak foot soldiers and later the Jedi Hunters Voxyn. If there is one Star Wars race I'd love to see on the big screen it would definitely be the Yuuzhan Vong.
The major other comparison i can immediately think of would be the Tyranids of 40k, however the Tyranids aren't quite sentient individually the way the Vong were, and are closer to the Flood from Halo in their endless nom noming of life
Chewbacca our fallen soldier, he cared a little too much about the details of NJO. By judgment of the writer council, you are dead but not apart of the top ten coolest anime death videos.
God the Bong would be so Triggered by that title! I love the cis they're the best army imo I love them the most....but the vong HATE the droids. They Find then sacreligious!
It wasn't my first introduction to star wars, but I absolutely loved the NJO!! Always love hearing more lore.... it's funny to hear other people pronounce the same crazy names and titles for things in these books... they always sound different then the way I said them in my head!! Lol
@Corey's Datapad at what point in reading did you start thinking that there was similarities between the two? interesting that you managed to pick up on this
Whatever Corey.. We are machines, we are greater then the Yuuzhan Vong.. U can’t convince me otherwise, my programming says so.. >;) - Great video as always.
I dont see it. The Vong warriors lived their lives as a ritualistic and personal sacrifice to their Gods and their society. The droids were a bunch of walking guns.
Really interesting pick up. Big brain on Corey, eh boys and girls
You know what would be interesting? Episode bout the strongest legends lightsabers/lightsabers crystal and what makes them so uniquely strong

Corey: you guys are the same.
Vong: WE ARE NOT THE SAME!!
I didn't know the Vong hate for technology came from their own galaxy. Kinda ironic

I'm on my first read of NJO, while i generally know the ending it's always great to see how you get there
Could you please cover the two battles where Luke and - I think - Kyp Duron used the force to manipulate Yuuzhan Vong created black holes (I'm pretty sure that happened).
ik he did it one of the first books and i feel like i remember reading he did it later in the series on a much larger scale
IIRC correctly Luke did that at Dantooine to kill one of the Vong war beasts (can't recall the name of the specific type).

Throw in a bit of the aliens from Independence Day too

Oooh, lore. I love these videos
The Yuzon Vong have ties to Star Wars Droids?
Now I saw everything.
God the Bong would be so Triggered by that title! I love the cis they're the best army imo I love them the most....but the vong HATE the droids. They Find then sacreligious!
The CIS is one of the best factions. Change my mind
No need.

Interesting similarities you picked up on. I didn't know the Yuuzhan Vong lobotomized their slaves.
Corey by myself also got reintroduced into Star wars the expanded universe with the NJO I started reading them in 2002
NJO is hands down my favorite SW era! I love it so much. I reread it like every other year. lol
Controversial opinion but I always thought that Luke should've died in NJO instead of Anakin Solo.
Machine vs Flesh
I'm not sure you get what the Vong represent thematically.
I'm re-reading The New Jedi Order right now. It's great.
Great video bro
Its like they rhyme! Man the Vong war would make such a sweet trilogy. That we will never see.
0:48
It says it is an invasion, but which one?
It's the name of a comic series
@@CoreysDatapad Refugees I Jo Chen ?
Who were the names at 9:53?
@Corey's Datapad
at what point in reading did you start thinking that there was similarities between the two? interesting that you managed to pick up on this
Pretty much as soon as the Thrall Herder showed up in the Dantooine battle it all seemed pretty reminiscent.
@@CoreysDatapad crazy that you picked up on it but also pretty cool. good video too :)
More Vong please. NJO isn't appreciated enough.
Great video! Much more interesting to watch compared to The last of us 2 playthroughs
Whatever Corey.. We are machines, we are greater then the Yuuzhan Vong.. U can’t convince me otherwise, my programming says so.. >;) - Great video as always.

7:39 COREY IM DYING THATS HILARIOUS
But otherwise, a really interesting take. Nice video!
I dont see it. The Vong warriors lived their lives as a ritualistic and personal sacrifice to their Gods and their society. The droids were a bunch of walking guns.
I think he was noting these particular battles as having a few similarities, not the entire Yuuzhan Vong and CIS societies.
If I wanted grimdark biotech only invaders from another galaxy I already have another setting for that, this faction isn't very star-warsy
I hate these out of galaxy invaders
