      The whole empire in the firsts movies was in part any militia who doesn't give a f if damaging people leads to progress/power, I mean both France and the US decided that aniquilating most of the natural food near populated islands was an acceptable damage for the info they would get from nuclear weapon testing (this resulted that most of the food they ate is fast food and processed thing, making them the places with the fattest population), if we had a way to get that many materials 100% we would make a weapon.

    • @Geekmunks

    • @TheBlueSuperDude
      @TheBlueSuperDude 11 months ago +341

      In fairness introducing Darth Nihilus in the last movie would've been a disservice to him, would've confused most of the ppl watching who have no clue who he is, and wouldn't make sense in what had already happened(much like how "Somehow Palpatine survived" was bullshit).
      If they had done the entire third trilogy as his come back to life and rise to power and defeat at the hands of Kylo and Ray then that might've been a much more interesting series of movies that could've distanced themselves more from the Skywalker saga......but it is what it is

    @TheMadRatKing 11 months ago +757

    The insanely detailed story of the Death Star's construction and functionality is exactly what I love about Star Wars- even if it exists solely as a weapon of the plot of an evil empire story, it still manages to be an object with believable proportions and function in the empire and the people in it. It didn't just pop out of nowhere, it wasn't solely Palpatines idea, and it wasn't built solely on empire resources or assets. It's a project with the fingerprints of generations and societies put into it, and that size and presence makes it a weapon as well as so much more.
    Something that can be said about.. approximately none of the other things from the following sequel series.

      I guess Moore's law is a thing in the Star Wars universe. The Death Star was the first weapon of its kind in hundreds of years and it was huge, the size of a small moon. Then, 30 years later, they managed to put a little death star weapon in a Star Destroyer. Not a single one, in TEN THOUSANDS Star Destroyers. Give a raise to the Empire's R&D team.

    Just a small correction. The Yuuzhan Vong are not an "Intergalactic" species, they are extra galactic since they come from another galaxy outside of the one we know. That distant galaxy is even beyond from the unkown regions and because of that they were known by the chiss as the "far outsiders".

      He is correct in that the Yuuzhan Vong are extragalactic, but they are also intergalactic.
      The prefix "inter-" means "between two (root word), inclusively",
      The inclusive part means you include the root word as part of that "between" journey.
      "Interstate highways" are between multiple states, but they are also called interstate if it just goes from one state to the neighboring state.
      "Internet" is a connection made up of or between smaller computer networks.
      "Interstellar" means to travel from one star system to another, or that it spans multiple star systems.
      So "intergalactic" means something that spans or has gone from one galaxy to another.
      Very specifically, the term "intergalactic travel" means to travel from one galaxy to another.
      "Extra-" means "from outside"
      So "extragalactic" means something that is not from this galaxy.
      As you can tell, there is overlap.
      A good example of something that is extragalactic that is not intergalactic would be rogue planets or star systems that are not part of any galaxy, but end up joining one.
      A good example of something that is intergalactic but not extragalactic is a star empire from your local galaxy that has expanded to others.
      A good example of something that is definitely both is a star empire that originates from outside your galaxy and has come here, but still has their own.
      The Yuuzhan Vong don't quite fit into any of those. They're not from this galaxy, thus, extragalactic. They left their previous galaxy entirely, so you could say they're not intergalactic, but if an interaction (perhaps by swinging around the central black hole) caused a star or planet to fling from one galaxy to another, it would still be considered intergalactic, because it used to live in and came from that other galaxy - it traveled between galaxies. Intergalactically.
      The other version, the prefix "Intra-" means "from within (root word)"
      Intracellular is something within that cell.
      An intranet is a local network, most often used to describe the private networks that companies have, but technically applies to any local network, even the one at your home.

      @RedstoneDefender Intergalactic relates to travel, they are an intergalactic species because they successfully traveled from one galaxy to another across the void between galaxies. Returning has no bearing on this. You can say that they are not an intergalactic empire because their empire no longer populates their previous galaxy.

    • @DarthRayj
      @DarthRayj 9 months ago +10

      The explanation I give myself is that since Galen Urso was pretty high-level as far as the engineers went, and obviously very smart, he probably tweaked a bunch of other parameters to make it impractically difficult to fix the issue. Put other critical systems close enough to the exhaust port that they'd all need to be moved in order to change the shape, make it small enough that everyone assumed it would be impossible to shoot, which would also force the temperature in the exhaust port itself to be much higher, meaning any sort of filter or barrier system would need to deal with extreme amounts of heat, etc.

    • @Lyokoheros-KLPXTV
      @Lyokoheros-KLPXTV 3 months ago

      Well as far as I remember it was more subtle than that.
      For all that I have understood the exhaustion port leading directly to reactor would not NECESSERILY lead to destroying the whole station, but it only lead to it because there was well-masked (at least it was implied it was well masked) flaw in the reactor itself that in case of getting a shot into reactor would lead to chain reaction causing entire thing to explode. Probably without that it would harm the Death Star significanlty but with more safely designed reactor it perhaps could done only some repairable damage.
      +all that DarthRayj said are valid points too.

Also by this point nihilus was completely empty and devoid of any signs of life, entirely consumed by his urge to feed (ironic). Another fun fact is that nihilus technically isnt dead since his soul is bound to his mask anyone who puts on the mask becomes a vessel for him

    • @papapalps2415
      @papapalps2415 11 months ago +3

      The Thought Bomb wasn't particularly impressive in terms of actual damage done, tbh. A single turbolaser bolt could easily have accomplished much the same thing. It's moreso the nasty side effects (like trapping it's victims souls for eternity) then anything else. Even as far as rituals go or Force users combining their power, it isn't that notable.
      Really, the only truly big or notable thing about it is the fact that you can use the power source of the victims souls afterwards to basically become a capital-G God. Which, granted, is a pretty notable thing indeed, lul. It's especially amusing, given that the stated effects you can achieve by juicing on it (total omniscience, as well as causing supernovae with a whisper, and destroying star systems with a blink, I believe) are INFINITELY greater than the Thought Bomb itself in effects.

    Moreover, the sith knew that that especific point was a weakness, thats why it was heavely protected

    If we're talking of planetary level threats, I'd say Thrawn's tactics of using cloaked asteroids counts as a pretty significant threat, especially if one were to employ them at a much larger scale. While it's not a threat that causes mass destruction of the planet itself it could potentially starve planets

    The Thought Bomb would have been a cool addition. Even though its detonation was a relatively localized event it was still super cool and ended up playing a pretty significant role all the way to the New Republic times.
