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
I'd imagine this made for absolutely awful conditions for POW workers in off-world Geonosian hives during the clone wars since they probably didn't fully grasp that other species weren't like that at all.
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
The fact that they have an aristocracy (something most terrestrial insects don't) would indicate they have enough intelligence to be aware of their terrible lot in life and object to it.
They would make the inaccuracy up with just stupid amount of soldiers, and they have some of the greatest droid foundries, so increase troop numbers by......

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. Seriously, jumping from nation/hive to hive warfare down to ritual combat is a huge jump down in aggressiveness. Give the species few more million years and they might end up becoming somewhat agressive but civilised species. Also, in comparison to humans, jumping from all out war down to ritual combat seems even more civilised than lot of humans in modern times...
Humans have done most of the things the geonosians are said to have done in this video: Continuous warfare, extreme xenophobia, cannibalism, slavery, ritual combat and gruesome executions as mass entertainment, genocide, working millions to death, restrictive caste systems, feudal systems with aristocrats exploiting all others for a luxurious lifestyle. Humans did all this for millenia even though in theory they have empathy and a sense of self/individuality - So which species is the scarier one?
@@superpartes4990 well we dont know for how much time geonosians were killing each other for fun maybe for even more time than humans ? (Unless someone have a source on how much time they spent killing each other before the ritual killings)
wait...Poggel's cane was the bone of a rival he killed in combat? I thought he was like Nute Gunray for the CIS or something. Mad respect there. damn, he and the rest of the Geo's are monsters.
The upper part looks like a femur. Unless it was combined from multiple bones, the guy he killed must’ve been a pretty big lad. Not someone I’d want to face in an arena.
@@aaronmatheson9730 I mean I called it a bone but it could be the remains of the leg from the exoskeleton. plus it is an alien species so we can't assume they don't have bones underneath.
At least their sonic blasters were cool. I mean, you have to be doing something right when Imperial Officers use sonic pistols in Battlefront 2 (classic) right?
Oh, so that's why another Geonosian was at Utapu with Poggle in Revenge of the Sith. I just thought he was an aid or guard, but no the reason he and others we didn't see where there was actually a lot more horrifying.
@@matthew5200 Yeah, he was seen at the Separatist leadership meeting Grevious was holding to tell them he was moving them to Mustafar. Then he was on Mustafar when Vader sliced him, the Separatists, and the other aids up.

“ I have never come face-to-face with a Geonosian, even when I took part in the invasion of the planet. I hear that their subterranean colonies are incredible.

Nowadays, I tend to avoid that area entirely in case they have hard feelings.” CS/CT-8711-12 “Cheng”, former Captain and Scout of the 442nd Siege Battalion
In all the deaths of clones in the Clone Wars series I felt the worst for the clones taken away by those bugs to be tortured, eaten or turned into mindless servants
@Shadow_5-2 All of them. Felucia's ecosystem is fucking terrifying. I don't believe there was a carnivorous plant listed on the Wiki, but if Umbara has them (Krell found out the hard way), then Felucia certainly does. 😅
Well... I already feel the hate going towards me lol but i want to express my opinion, altough they did bad things they didnt deserve to be "wiped out" maybe contained, in *my opinion* they followed their nature and their leaders :>
Interesting little thing. "Baraunde" appears nowhere in canon, but it was given a meaning by EC Henry in his own video about the Geonosians. I love that Star Wars creators are working together to expand the lore themselves.
I remember reading in an Episode II visual dictionary that the Geonosians' signature blade-shaped architecture came from the blades that defined their violent culture and that they drove their most popular arena beasts to extinction.
I still really love the Geonosians, i think they’re my favourite race of the CIS due to their impressive engineering and architecture and their very “unique” culture
9:08 love the reference here to the Roman Colosseum. the world's most commonly repeated fun fact, the fact that sometimes they flooded the Colosseum to host small-scale naval battles.
Hmm. I'll agree with the prevailing opinion here - the Empire's "pest control" pogrom against the Geonosians was probably a net positive for the galaxy. Considering how fast they reproduced, their innate xenophobia and brutality, and the fact that they were becoming less isolationist, they'd likely be a massive threat to the galaxy at large. Kind of a similar deal as with the Krogans from Mass Effect.
I found klik klak annoying. His eyes were too big, he didn't speak proper geonosian but in a high pitch alien language, and for some reason he had no damn wings. Seems like the guy the geonosians would bully, or the guy geonosians would perhaps send to transport queen eggs.
So in summary, they're giant termites whose caste system revolves around violence, they have hiveminds that can create zombies, and the only outsider who ever gained their respect was a literal Sith Lord who used them to enslave other worlds. Yep, that's terrifying.
Despite being bloodthirsty warmongers they had a very interesting and complex society. Especially surrounding the arena. Ironic a species that routinely genocided each other were themselves eventually rendered extinct by The Empire.
I always really like hearing "Attention! Sergeant on deck!" towards the beginning of every episode. I remember that the intro sound effect used to change frequently. But the current "Attention! Sergeant on deck!" has been included pretty consistently for a couple years. I think it started to be played consistently after I left a comment a couple years ago about how I liked hearing "Attention! Sergeant on deck!" at the beginning of some of the episodes. Thanks @Geetsly's, I feel special lol
Considering these things are essentially insects, the fact they can cull their bloodlust into arenas is quite impressive. I doubt even honey bees would relent in the eradication of an enemy hive.
That zoom in sound at the beginning of the video from the OG battlefront games is incredible, every time I hear it it’s like an orgasm for my ears lol. Maybe a bit of an over-exaggeration but damn it’s Such a nostalgic sound
Maybe it’s because of his appearance and how it differs from all the other Geonosians, but I always assumed that Queen Karina was Poggle’s wife. Kind of like a King termite to the Queen.
@@joshuastrittmatter4188 well yes he came to power in the arenas games the winner proved the fitest gets to impregnate the queen. But there were several queens i believe karina was like the queen mother. But like and ant colony the queen is constantly producing ants . Poggel had billions of children. His appearance is different he is a warrior rather than a drone .
Wait thats kinda funny, let me see if I get it. They were violent, warmongers, hated eachother and those different from them, their society was extremely unequal and they built deadly weapons.....like, humans?
It sounds like they are literally an eusocial Society which would mean that the workers are in fact not slaves but behave altruistic for the interests of the colony
Are we just not going to talk about all the fleshy characters exposed to that much radiation? Especially with all that irradiated, fine sand blowing everywhere.
So what would’ve happened to the clones that were captured during the first and second battles of Geonosis? Would they have gotten the same treatment as say Obi Wan, Anikan and Padme when they were caught?
Well padme, anakin and obi wan were notable figures they were likely aware of. The senator from naboo and 2 jedi who were trying commit espionage in their factories. The higher caste like poggle aleady picked sides in the incoming war and displaying those 3 as victims of their favorite blood sport was a convient way to boost hive morale where as individual clones, well. Unless the specific clone was of some value to the cis they would probably either be carried high into the air and dropped to their deaths or fed to those large animals they keep penned up.
@@7ElevenTruther Everyone asks what happened to the clones captured by the Geonosians but no one asks what happened to the Geonosianls captured by the Republic, they were literally slaved to build the Death Star, if one side does not give quarter do not expect that the another respect the Yavin Convention!
Just for the record you pronounce chitin like “ki-ten”. I only know this because of nature documentaries, otherwise I’d probably not pronounce it right either. 😅👍🏼
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
Not necessarily. Because they are bigger than real insects, maybe they developed the internal structure to hold their bigger bodies up. Just an idea. Could go the other way: evolving an exoskeleton to survive radiation even though they already had an inner skeleton.
Man that intro takes me back to the good old battlefront days. Never thought the Geonosians were that scary and intense, definitely got a newfound respect for the next time they pop on screen
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.
There are so many stories one can make out of the Star Wars universe, without even mentioning Jedis nor Siths, quite perplexing that so few did exactly that.

I dunno, I sorta have a head-cannon where there is a peaceful Geonosis tribe. (That's where click-clack from rebels came from) Idk, lol
So what would’ve happened to the clones that were captured during the first and second battles of Geonosis? Would they have gotten the same treatment as say Obi Wan, Anikan and Padme when they were caught?
Good question
Well padme, anakin and obi wan were notable figures they were likely aware of. The senator from naboo and 2 jedi who were trying commit espionage in their factories. The higher caste like poggle aleady picked sides in the incoming war and displaying those 3 as victims of their favorite blood sport was a convient way to boost hive morale where as individual clones, well.
Unless the specific clone was of some value to the cis they would probably either be carried high into the air and dropped to their deaths or fed to those large animals they keep penned up.
They were eaten

Everyone asks what happened to the clones captured by the Geonosians but no one asks what happened to the Geonosianls captured by the Republic, they were literally slaved to build the Death Star, if one side does not give quarter do not expect that the another respect the Yavin Convention!
Poggle literally went from rags to richest by fighting his way to the top. Man i had no idea he was such a badass!
Just for the record you pronounce chitin like “ki-ten”. I only know this because of nature documentaries, otherwise I’d probably not pronounce it right either.
😅👍🏼
Kind of makes you wonder, was it worth Ezra and the rebels saving the last queen’s egg if their species was so violent and distrustful of others.
No. No it wasn’t.
I don't know, one egg probably won't do anything.
"A bug that thinks?! Frankly I find the idea offensive!"
A quote by random dude from Starship Troopers.
Oh so that where my boi poggle got his walking stick nodding my head in agreement nice
We had a greate leader bur Anakin toifh he was a youngling
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
"He kept one of his leg bones and turned it into a cane"
😶 so they have exoskeletons AND bones?? That makes no sense...
Not necessarily. Because they are bigger than real insects, maybe they developed the internal structure to hold their bigger bodies up. Just an idea. Could go the other way: evolving an exoskeleton to survive radiation even though they already had an inner skeleton.
When you’re sent into a Geonosian arena to fight an acklay and you ain’t a Jedi: Guess I’ll die! 🤷♂️
When it come to the Geonosions nothing a can of Raid can’t fix.
I had a nightmare involving the brain worms it was terrifying.
I wanna hear more about other world takeovers and hives that were setup there.
Great video!
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
He was once a low cast but was such a badass that they gave him power
Man that intro takes me back to the good old battlefront days.
Never thought the Geonosians were that scary and intense, definitely got a newfound respect for the next time they pop on screen
Did the Geonosians eat those poor clones? (whole body shudder at the very thought)
Probably
Hopefully
@@xiaoyuzhao1260 I accuse you of treason against the grand army of the Republic
Probably
I wouldn’t be surprised
I love lore that adds to the films. I'll never look at the cane the same way again.
I never would’ve imagined that those wicked bugs were so blood thirsty!!! Please do some more videos going deeper into their culture!!
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.
"It's an ugly Planet, A Bug Planet!"
I watched to the end and was frustrated that u mentioned nothing about how the genosian making battle droids.
Geetsly: Labels Geonosians as 'Barbarians'
Me, a Metatron subscriber: Is he an ancient greece/rome supremacist?
6:08 Archduke Poggle the Lesser lmao
I really love this World and everything about it!
Clones, get ze Flammenwerfers!
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.
1:46 they look like dried shrooms
Nothing like the simulations
There are so many stories one can make out of the Star Wars universe, without even mentioning Jedis nor Siths, quite perplexing that so few did exactly that.
