Return of the Jedi came out in 1983. Rancor have only been around for 39 years. New Hope came out in 1977 which was only 45 years ago so I personally have no clue where you're pulling 55 years from.
I love how everytime he says "This one was larger than most other rancors" he proceeds to show clips with them scaling basically the same to smaller than normal rancors in comparison to humans. Love love love the video, it's just odd
The problem animals have in Star Wars is that people feel awkward about having the same animals on different planets (although there's plenty of ways for wild animal species to get spread across the galaxy), and the bulk of planets in Star Wars don't get much revisiting, so we don't see most of the biosphere. Kashyyyk is a rare example where we see different parts of the biosphere because there was all this talk about it being Coruscant but with trees (so most of the surface of the planet is forever shrouded in darkness beneath canopies), but then in Revenge of the Sith we get to see some beaches and oceans. Anyway, I prefer Zillo beasts.
I could imagine with a history as long as the republic's that many different species would be spread throughout the galaxy, both intentionally, and unintentional stowaways. I've always enjoyed the unique animals, especially in the EU.
Well, it makes sense for a Rancor to be owned by a Hutt, since the Hutt Cartel rules over a considerable part of the Galaxy and it's probably relatively easy for them to get one.
There was a Rancor in the second Darth Bane book. It was twisted by a cybernetic plague that turned living creatures into monsters and had a blaster cannon arm, a jetpack and claws that made Bane grateful it was in such disrepair or he might have needed an army to deal with it.
My favorite monster alien in the SW universe has been the Krayt Dragon. Usually you don't even see them alive, just gigantic long skeletons left to the bleach in the desert and make you wonder what they were and if there are versions which still survive. It was like finding a giant washed up corpse on a beach; you don't know what it is, it's rare, and if you let your mind wander you start to worry if there are more out there alive and ready to eat you. Can you over more SW monsters through the years? This was so much fun to learn and watch!
I would definitely love to see you dive into more different species of aliens in the star wars galaxy like sarlacs for example or hutts. Loved the video keep up the good work
@@wasuel_gaming7242 yea I think it would be really cool to see some of the different variants of hutts that we have seen through star wars and how they came to be .
I was at a garage sale last summer , evidently there is a Lego Rancor , there were 3 in a box ... guy wanted 15$ a little kid kept crying to his dad to buy it for him ... as they were leaving l gave my daughter the money, she bought them and ran one of them to the kid in the car... so we have a ( painted) pink Rancor with a tiera , named Sharon... After share and Sharon alike.
I think it was called the Gorloc that was in the OTHER force unleashed game that noone talks about that was hid underneath the arena of a seperatist run planet. we think we just have a sand rancor fight until the Gorloc grabs the damn rancor in one hide, drags it into it's pit, and eats it. Mfer was huge
Star Wars Commander: Rage Rancor, Hunter Rancor, and Shadow Rancor (Admittedly the Rage Rancor was later changed from a red rancor to basically a bull rancor and the Hunter rancor was changed to a Jungle rancor. The Shadow rancor just ended up with red stripes added to it rather than being changed to an existing rancor)
We need rancors. The galaxy needs them. I freaking love these reptilian monsters!! Also, jungle rancors remind me of sea turtles. I bet they could swim pretty well with those webbed hands
Ah yes, who doesn't remember 1967's famous first appearance of a Rancor in the well-known movie "Return of the future chosen one from ancient past in a different part of the universe".
I watched too soon I want the part 2 already dang it Great video I love all the research you've been doing Bringing some excellent lore not talked about as much anymore
Xbox 360 Kinect had a great star wars game, and while not the main part of the game, there was a gamemode where you play as rankor and your goal is to crush and eat as much as you can. Was very fun.
“Before I tell you of the sith spawn, I want to tell you about the spawn-ser of this video” don’t think it was intentional but I want to believe that it was
In Star wars jedi academy, you can fight to kill a cyber rancor in one level. And if you're strong enough in another level where you're trying to rescue some allies that are locked up, you can try fighting to regular rancors. It's makes the rescue easier if you kill them.
IDK if anyone can relate, but I had some great memories playing star wars connect on the XBOX 360 and using the rancor to just decimate the entire town. You could even use any type, even the flying one, and you would get extra points for eating the storm troopers or citizens.
the idea of a rancor having wings is f'ing hilarious. As well as f'ing terrifying. Like how the fuck does something shaped like a hunchback mutant shark troll FLY? AND WHY
I like Dilophosaurus (from Jurassic Park) better than Rancor, which is the one spits poisonous venom. What do you think, Michael Jae? Have you seen Jurassic Park movies?
Rancors on different planets, well to be honest, if Rancors are as adaptable as Metroids in the Metroid franchise, it is understandable to see them around, especially with a lot of potential to them due to size and strength. As for other animals, teh equivelent of cattle would certainly be seen more often one would think.
You know, I sometimes think how large the galaxy is in Star Wars. How many WORLDS!! Just like Earth. So many different species of plants and animals. And think about the Empire’s era like so many worlds living under the Empire and so much torture, sacrifices of different type of people. Just like we saw in the Rogue One and in The Mandalorian. Just like our Earth’s history. So many different stories of history.
I love the Star Wars animals and I like the Rancor but my favourite Star Wars animals are the dragons in Star Wars there shrouded in mystery and extremely rear
Nope. Jedi didn't come out till 83. Rancors have only existed for 39 years. Regardless, only took five seconds to Google that and I'm not making RUclips videos. This guy needs to step his game up.
@@KahosSaint thank U brother. I thought my knowledge to be more accurate and I completely agree w/ U on when Fans we're 1st introduced to a Rancor in it's most common form. Stay Gold🍻
I just miss the BullRancor from TFU that.thing was gargantuan in size and resistance from the main timeline. BTW would the Gorog from TFUII could be some sort of Rancor ???
Come say hi in the star wars channel in the Discord :) discord.gg/ESMxk27

Hey you missed one it's from the game Vader immortal it's a rancor with four arms

yeah the only ppl that seem to be hauling them and using them is the hutts and criminal warlords along with dathomiri witches

The dragon Rancor definitely is awesome but it’s significantly much smaller than a standard Rancor
The Kinect Star Wars game where u played as one was so bloody cool. Eating Gungans doesnt get old
That was my favourite part of the game when I discovered it :D
Being so rare is part of the reason why there so cool
Yeah I hope we don't see one all the time now.
@@silver4831 one of the main characters of the mando era has a pet rancor it will most likely have it’s fair share of appearances

rancors are like the eevees of star wars lol
Giant flesh eating eevee.
This is what eevee evolves into if you give it a yummy Jedi
Ive always loved the rancor scene from return of the Jedi, and that made the rancor my favorite creature in all of star wars
We need rancors. The galaxy needs them. I freaking love these reptilian monsters!! Also, jungle rancors remind me of sea turtles. I bet they could swim pretty well with those webbed hands
I too played that lightsaber duel game on the WII. Plo Koon was my go-to guy
Apart from Return Of The Jedi, my other exposure to rancors were the missions from the Jedi Academy game. Good times.
13:55 number 5 is also a mount if you need more detail on how it looks
Is 8?
The best Star Wars creature is not in fact the rancor, but the sando aqua monster
I think there should be show about rancors
Or about all the species of rancors.
The terrantatek is my favourite
Ah yes, who doesn't remember 1967's famous first appearance of a Rancor in the well-known movie "Return of the future chosen one from ancient past in a different part of the universe".
Yo Michael, loving the Star Wars vids!
Who doesn’t?
Exactly
Well, you said it, you reached 500 case subscribers, time for you to bring back a rancor
Wait what? I legit had no idea there was a deleted rancor scene from TCW movie
They looked at one of the most vicious creatures in star wars and said, "yeah this mofo need wings" 😂😭
I watched too soon
I want the part 2 already dang it
Great video I love all the research you've been doing
Bringing some excellent lore not talked about as much anymore
The discord ping got me good 0:48
I love rancor’s
I love star wars I would love you to have way more star wars alien videos
Growing Rancors is real life? I think your scientists are too preoccupied with whether they can, they aren’t stopping to think if they should 😆
Xbox 360 Kinect had a great star wars game, and while not the main part of the game, there was a gamemode where you play as rankor and your goal is to crush and eat as much as you can. Was very fun.
“Before I tell you of the sith spawn, I want to tell you about the spawn-ser of this video” don’t think it was intentional but I want to believe that it was
How’s your rancor doing boba?
@@larniieplayz6285 it’s still asleep. Grogu is way more powerful than I initially thought
I really like this video talking about a speciee and different type

0:35 i don't remember this episode. How can i forget something like that?
Pretty sure it’s season 2, episode 17 when Ahsoka, Anakin, and Obi-Wan help out the native villagers on Felicia from Hondo
Just because they aren't shown often doesn't make them rare. They have stable populations were they tend to reside
man not cool at 0:47 i thought i was still on a discord call and someone joined lol
4:05 I played that game! That takes me back.
IDK if anyone can relate, but I had some great memories playing star wars connect on the XBOX 360 and using the rancor to just decimate the entire town. You could even use any type, even the flying one, and you would get extra points for eating the storm troopers or citizens.
The Jungle Rancor looks sick I would love to see it in a live action movie
R2-D2 the rancor slayer
Rancors are not monsters there just being themeselves
The thumbnail killed me lmfaooo
Oh dang I remember playing star wars commander and dropping that rage rancor on attack and goddamn it was powerful.
the idea of a rancor having wings is f'ing hilarious.
As well as f'ing terrifying.
Like how the fuck does something shaped like a hunchback mutant shark troll FLY?
AND WHY
Rancor is my favorite Star Wars monster because they’re so cool
ik its not significant but theres the shadow rancor and a few more from the mobile game Star wars commander
dude that discord sound at the start tripped me out
yes, cant remember what comic issue it was. but the sith used the force to Mutate gestating rancor"s into new forms.
I like Dilophosaurus (from Jurassic Park) better than Rancor, which is the one spits poisonous venom. What do you think, Michael Jae? Have you seen Jurassic Park movies?
I just realized, is the gorog a rancor? or a completely different species? I don't remember the game ever mentioning it as one.
Its a different species
Sooo where the project going?😂😂
Alright, love the video. But oh my god i was terrified when i heard the discord connect sound.
To be honest my Favorite beast in Star Wars must be the Acklay, the Green six leged Dinosaur, it has the moast terefying design imo
Rancors on different planets, well to be honest, if Rancors are as adaptable as Metroids in the Metroid franchise, it is understandable to see them around, especially with a lot of potential to them due to size and strength.

0:48 - Everyone just checked Discord.
Bull rancor looks kinda cool
the bull rancor!
“They fly now!?” “THEY FLY NOW”
1:20 tyrannosaurus isnt that dumb and mindless
Jungle rancors are my fave
RICK LONG CANBERRA NERDS INC ! LOVES RANCORS ! 😀
Bro unlocked a core memory when he brought up the buzz lightyear movie I forgot that movie existed
You forgot to do a dedicated entry on the Terentatek.
As god, i can confirm, i genuinely almost cried when the old man grieved about the rancor death
"Now you must Narfle the Rancor!"
“No, jump good!”-Samurai Jack.
I have a feeling the zombie one from the books is going to be in the next one
When a person who played Jedi Survivor and fallen order, hears that Rancors are native to Dathomir
Rancors are shown a few times but the Wampa only had 1 scene just to loose the fight. And also let his Armand got snow poured in him
4:04 heck yeah.
There’s a Rancor in the first Kotor game and then there’s a bunch in Kotor 2 I believe. Can’t remember if any were unique or not though
You forgot the mutant rancor from jedi academy, though you got a pic of it, and then the blackwing zombie rancor lol

Well okay
The sith spawn ones look so cool
I love the Star Wars animals and I like the Rancor but my favourite Star Wars animals are the dragons in Star Wars there shrouded in mystery and extremely rear
Considering R2's kill count, I'm not very surprised he was the only character to kill a Chrysalide
Jungle Rancors are probably the least dangerous predator on Falucia to the settlers.
I love rancors . But is the Gorog is a super evolved one?
for some reason the subscribe button makes a discord notification noise? ( 0:47 )
The rancor dragon just looks like the end boss from Rayman 3
also was the mutant rancor of Star Wars Jedi Knight Jedi academy III
Im going to buy the Lego rancor soon ! Omg can’t wait
I love Rancors! ❤️.
I'm 50 now, and I saw Star Wars the opening wk. in 78. I'm thinking 45 yrs. is more accurate when accounting timeline with Rancor🍻
Nope. Jedi didn't come out till 83. Rancors have only existed for 39 years. Regardless, only took five seconds to Google that and I'm not making RUclips videos. This guy needs to step his game up.

I need to see a bull rancor in live action film
now we just need to mix a rancor with the rack ghoul plague and see what we get
The mutant rancor in Star Wars: Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy
The best part is the thumbnail. U just point in a random place and u have the character looking shocked
the bull rancor looks like a Nikto mixed with a Rancor 8D
What about the baby rancor from bad batch
bro i played that kinect game and that rancor stuff was so fun bc i got to destroy buildings and eat people
Bro everytime I hear the discord sound on your video i go check my discord xD
There’s the zuckuss album also - it’s not canon and it’s not appropriate either however
They remind of pinkys from doom
i love the rancor
I feel like I have killed or been killed by thousands of rancors in video games, and there are plenty of animated appearances
have you made the rancors yet
