36 years ago, in a film studio: "Hey, so it says here in the script "alien sea serpent eats r2d2", should we clarify on that or anything? Maybe build a full puppet so that people can get a better look at it?" "What? No, it's just a one off gag, it's some nameless alien beastie to make a neat little scene and build the world a little. No one is gonna care"
I came across a really great highly informative series on the Vice network called icons unearthed. It shows n tells the behind the scenes of great movies like Star Wars. I learned that the original krayt dragon was left behind in the desert bcuz they couldn’t afford to bring it back. I immediately thought, wouldn’t it be cool if it was still there? I highly doubt it tho. But it’s a great series and I’m sure all Star Wars fans would love it!!
That was rigged to get his ass out. What a bunch of dipshits. Like what are the chances that they knew in the fraction of a second what the hell what are R2 was but couldn't name 3 Jedi High Council Members. Our boy saw that shit as said: *"Ight, Imma Head Out..."*
Not that he's bitter about it. No. Not at all. And no, he doesn't have little reminders of it everywhere. Just a couple, really. - Written in Rain-X on the bathroom mirror. - Dragonsnake shower curtain - Written on the inside of every t-shirt. - Startup sound on all the computers - Default Ringtone - Dragonsnake soundfont for lightsabers. - Fridge magnets that spell out Dragonsnake - Dragonsnake belt buckle - Working title for memoirs is "Biggs and the Dragonsnake Cantina" Thankfully Molly put the kibosh on the tattoos and the vinyl wrap on the car. Both would be mistaken for a badly drawn Shenron (Dragonball) far too often.
do you think that Kylo Ren will hold the green lightsaber not Leia's blue lightsaber and we see Kylo Ren beside Rey and she is holding her blue lightsaber and fight The Knights of Ren and Palpatine
The worst SW creature tho is the dragon within Anakin's soul in ROTS novel...it's spawned by fear, fear of losing his mum, of losing Padme.. a creature he has to grasp and snap apart and crush under heel.. it's one creature that had huge impact galactically..
You were there with Mace Windu so it would be easy for you to know who came with you. What I don't understand is how you managed to type this comment after that moment, yet still before you died.
gotta admit, Dragon-Serpent has more sense to me. Sounds more epic and draco and serpent are both latin roots (snake its not)... congrats again on the win
I've always wondered, how much does Alex rely on Wookiepedia for these videos? Obviously he know more about 99.9% of Star Wars fans, but I don't see how it's humanely possible to have that much information in your head.
Simple, you only need to remember one name rather than three. Also if you've only read the names and never heard them, "dragonsnake" is far easier to cotrectly pronounce than "Saeesee Tinn", and Trivia contests are *very* strict about how you pronounce a name.
Of course the one that swallows R2 is the King of all Dragon Snakes.. man legends just had to make every little thing from the movies into the most important version of that thing in the universe.. it's times like this Im really glad that legends is no longer cannon
Sad that Legends is STILL the strongest and most fleshed out source of Star Wars lore! I'm morbidly curious about the Rise of Skywalker so I'll see it either for the hot mess it collapses this once great franchise/religion/escapism into or if it honors Lucas and also Carrie.....time will tell!
Feiran's 'Preticure' was published in... From when I write this in the current time, that was 70 lunar cycles ago. Much has changed since that time. Not much of that change would likely please Feiran, who valued so much the independent spirit of the home estates of his age. This contemporary culture spends more of its attention on distant communes than it does on the physical wonders of the natural world in which it inhabits. Self-reliance has been all but replaced by the omnipresent crutch of reliance, whose bandages continue to wrap us in protection, usually at the expense of our remaining motility and autonomy. It might be best that he is gone. But I do not want to idealize him; he was a product of his time and culture, and it is certain that many of his values would simply not be possible to preserve in today's age. So, have we paid too much for our advances? Should we want to go back? In a pure exploration, for the purpose of seeking nothing but an unburdened soul, Feiran might spend hours and miles walking a single direction without anthropological encounter. Such expanses of the estates have been replaced with our mostly paved conveniences- which feed perfectly our comfort, yet which allow our inner peace to starve at the same time. See what I'm doing here? I'm commandeering his assets by using it as a springboard to voice my own lofty views, amalgamated with his own under my exclusive discretion. Sure, there's not necessarily anything wrong with doing that- but I just can't stand it when it comes right before the notary pad I am trying to visualize! And don't let me become too much satisfied with the slack in my line, lest I become the maker of my own speculative and pretentious forward, or worse, to be the last-word loving creator of the after-the-fact reactionary argument, perhaps like Esther Bren Terse, who seemed to've fancied himself as Feiran’s more contemporary literary improvement. As though post-hoc prose holds no advantage for the maker! Just as history is necessarily written by the victor standing, whoever has yet to lift pen from paper (or in my case, whoever now has fingers to keys) remains, mouth still a flapping. But seriously, Preticure will give you a feel for what that time was like. In many ways, it was a time that was far less constrained than the lifestyle you and I may know, but it was no walk in a rose-garden, either. Let's think realistically about the 'golden times,' where lives were shorter and illnesses were longer. Feiran himself died in his 40th solar cycle by lungs weakened from unmitigated exposure to craterspawn, with no cure to lessen the spread. Poverty and ignorance were an order of magnitude more severe. A cure’s affect was anybody's quack guess. Do not act enlightened post-hoc; you wouldn't have known if serpent oil was good for that rash or not, either. Now and then, I might argue for a little regression, but I mean that only in the sense of trading in some or our disproportioned reliance on reliances for a little bit of a return to our natural ecology. It is the well from which we have sprung, and from wandering too far from it we are certain to dry out. But I like my assets. And I believe in the advancements of higher knowing; those usher in the new frontier, upon whose rim the Beyond may stretch farther into the distance than we can yet know. Progress is unavoidable, and at least in the short term, it is a good. Like it or not, subsistence (life) has improved. As much as some relativists in the interactive-knowledge circles would have you believe that trading Avalar for a daily forage is a fair swap, it isn't. We have sparse sounds and adorned cossacks now, instead of smashing in some of the heads of a neighboring order just to take their followers as objects. So sure, journeying is not what it used to be, but that's prolly for the best. Alright, I have gone too far back in time. My point was that we should just be careful not to romanticize the past too much. And let's also allow other people's ideas to stand for themselves, without trying to apply too much of ourselves to the story when we reference them. So I hope I didn't do that too much just now. Still, it's fun just to imagine.
Well the thing is Legends has been around for...how long now? It's older than Empire Strikes Back what with the Holiday Special being one of the earliest EU stories ever made, never mind the much, *much* bigger number of authors compared to the current canon, so given these two factors it's only natural that Legends be more fleshed out.
"Failure, yes. The greatest teacher failure is."
Love these videos.
I’ve had enough of these nerf herding Dragon Snakes on my Nerf Herding ship!

dragon serpent sounds more appropriate based on the way it looks
The question order didn't really make sense IMO. "Who were the 3 Jedi who accompanied Mace windu" was a way easier question
I'm pretty sure some of us knew that since 2006
Francesc del Arca
True, tho the most notable was Kit Fisto.
@@thalmoragent9344 saeese tinn is 2ond... por Agen Kolar (the zabrak), who, being in ep2 and 3 never spaced the shadow of Eeth Koth....
I knew the dragonsnake answer since childhood but I have a weird fixation with little-shown creatures so that's probably why.
As soon as I saw the title, I knew why he was talking about it.
Great video Alex 🙂
I feel like naming the three other jedi is easier than remembering the name to a creature you barely even see. How did they miss that question?
I knew Dragonsnake but I could only name two of the Jedi with Mace.
"And balance was returned to the Swamp"
- Star Wars Explained
Apparently, the dragonsnake on Dagobah mistook R2 to be drowning, so it grabbed him and threw him out of the swamp.
Also. If that dragon snake was the largest on the planet, I’m fairly certain it STILL was the dominant one in the swamp, regardless of what Luke did.
Is this going to be something we see every year now?
Depends on whether Alex wins the trivia contest or not :p
I hope so
This may be Year 0..new republic calendar 😂
@@neilmurphy966 lol
Isaac Villa if he doesn't win next year there's going to be a price on his head so big he won't be able to show up in a civilized website 😆😉
I never realized the creature was in TCW
As soon as I saw the worst on the title I knew what I was in for
How the other two manage to name the dragon-snake but not the three Jedi masters is the real question.
those damn dragonsnakes
Congratulations on your Victory this year!
I came across a really great highly informative series on the Vice network called icons unearthed. It shows n tells the behind the scenes of great movies like Star Wars.

Glad you won dragoncon trivia. Great video
Great video and congratulations on winning!
Can we get a recap video of all your trivia contests?
They remembered the species of a snake we barely see once but not the names of three jedi masters? Da-F?
That was rigged to get his ass out. What a bunch of dipshits. Like what are the chances that they knew in the fraction of a second what the hell what are R2 was but couldn't name 3 Jedi High Council Members. Our boy saw that shit as said:
*"Ight, Imma Head Out..."*
2:21 I think I remember reading that comic, or maybe I caught a glimpse at it on the back cover of a different Star Wars comic.
Not that he's bitter about it. No. Not at all. And no, he doesn't have little reminders of it everywhere.
Just a couple, really.
- Written in Rain-X on the bathroom mirror.
- Dragonsnake shower curtain
- Written on the inside of every t-shirt.
- Startup sound on all the computers
- Default Ringtone
- Dragonsnake soundfont for lightsabers.
- Fridge magnets that spell out Dragonsnake
- Dragonsnake belt buckle
- Working title for memoirs is "Biggs and the Dragonsnake Cantina"
Thankfully Molly put the kibosh on the tattoos and the vinyl wrap on the car. Both would be mistaken for a badly drawn Shenron (Dragonball) far too often.
Thanks, Alex! ⭐
is it just me or does the Dragon Snake look like a Kolo Klaw Fish but without the "Claws" on either side of its mouth
Congrats on the win
I like these videos the most
do you think that Kylo Ren will hold the green lightsaber not Leia's blue lightsaber and we see Kylo Ren beside Rey and she is holding her blue lightsaber and fight The Knights of Ren and Palpatine
Dragonsnakes, why did it have to be dragonsnakes...
Dose this have any correlation with the dragon snake armor that they use on the tie fighter in squadrons?
that is the most uncreative starwars thing period. dragonsnake. sounds like a yugioh monster
Please do a video on the y t 2400
The worst SW creature tho is the dragon within Anakin's soul in ROTS novel...it's spawned by fear, fear of losing his mum, of losing Padme.. a creature he has to grasp and snap apart and crush under heel.. it's one creature that had huge impact galactically..
The only reason I know all the jedi that arrested Palpatine, is because I had the lego star wars Palpatine's arrest set as a kid lol.
*star wars trailer comes out*
Alex:
I read that story once. I liked it, can you please do a video about it?
You should make one about the GREATEST ... in Star Wars where you talk about the question that made you win.
I think this might just be my spirit animal.
Is the big long fish in Episode 1 not also a Dragonsnake?
No it' s a Colo Claw Fish
How didn't they know which 3 Jedi were with Windu to arrest the Senate?
Fun Fact: There are actual snakes irl called dragon snakes.
Look ‘em up, they look cool as hell.
Nice Video :)

Damn bruh how many sleep did you lose over "dragon serpent"??? I sure you will win and still be the CHAMPION in the SCHMOEDOWN
That quiz sounded easy, I would've got both those questions right
You were there with Mace Windu so it would be easy for you to know who came with you. What I don't understand is how you managed to type this comment after that moment, yet still before you died.
I wish you would do a video yt 2400
gotta admit, Dragon-Serpent has more sense to me. Sounds more epic and draco and serpent are both latin roots (snake its not)... congrats again on the win
Francesc del Arca
I agree
@@thalmoragent9344 btw hope you're excited as I am of the Avatar life-action "reboot" by the creators!!!
Heck, other than Kit Fisto even I don't know the other two jedi.
So... how did dragon snakes get from Nal Hutta to Dagobah, or vice versa?
I've always wondered, how much does Alex rely on Wookiepedia for these videos? Obviously he know more about 99.9% of Star Wars fans, but I don't see how it's humanely possible to have that much information in your head.
Wouldn't a swarm slug try to kill it first by snapping it's internals.
How does someone know "dragonsnake" but not agen kolar, seasee tinn, and kit fisto.
Jason Somers
That’s what I’m sayin
Simple, you only need to remember one name rather than three.
Also if you've only read the names and never heard them, "dragonsnake" is far easier to cotrectly pronounce than "Saeesee Tinn", and Trivia contests are *very* strict about how you pronounce a name.
Agen Kolar looks like Eeth Koth, and for some reason I find Eeth Koth much easier to remember of the two.
My eight year old nephew knows the three guys that accompanied Mace.
why did it have to be dragon snakes
I actually never new this. I feel shame 😔
Snake? Snake!!!??????
The Dragonsnake is a god damn jerk and I don't like it!
Let go of the past. Kill it, if you have to.
Of course the one that swallows R2 is the King of all Dragon Snakes.. man legends just had to make every little thing from the movies into the most important version of that thing in the universe.. it's times like this Im really glad that legends is no longer cannon
Then obi-wan killed it.
Is called a dragon snake.
Is not really much of a dragon nor a snake.
Well alright then.
Sad that Legends is STILL the strongest and most fleshed out source of Star Wars lore! I'm morbidly curious about the Rise of Skywalker so I'll see it either for the hot mess it collapses this once great franchise/religion/escapism into or if it honors Lucas and also Carrie.....time will tell!
