I think this is mainly about the Canon universe's Sarlaccs, as in legends they do say that it does take a 1,000 year for them to digest and that they were all across the galaxy not just the one planet.
I love the legends line. But I do occasionally like when it diverges in this way. Giving it a good spin. Planting the seed of deception in the narrative.
@@thatbodymechanic Ain't a seed of deception, one is canon vs one that is now not canon. Why are they retrekking legends if they consider legends as not canon They are just reusing ideas.
Damn there’s some crazy text in that diagram from the expanded universe, about how the Sarlacc incorporates its prey into its own biology and keeps them alive, extending their torment for thousands of years.
If you look at the anatomy of the sarlacc, it has a separate stomach chamber for slower, more torturous digestion. That’s probably what Jabba was referring to
Even in canon Sarlaccs are *weird.* Ordinary animals that fall into its mouth are channeled to the main stomach, which is rather like a pitcher plant's and digests the same way. They go relatively quickly and leave virtually no residue when they are absorbed. But *sapients* that fall in get a special treatment. They're thoroughly injected with paralyzing venom and shuttled to smaller, individual stomachs. There the Sarlacc grows tentacles *into* their prey and absorbs not just their bodies but their *minds.* Eventually, they aren't digested so much as becoming *part* of the Sarlacc, existing as sort of hive mind - but one in perpetual torment. They keep you alive, essentially, to feed on your pain and suffering as well as your body. "A new definition of pain and suffering" is exactly what you get. At least with a Krayt Dragon, they eat you and it's done. This, BTW, only applies to the mature ones. The baby Sarlaccs are quite mobile, quite deadly, and you don't get the "benefit" of slow digestion with them. IIRC, Boba Fett escaped this fate because his upgraded armor resisted the tentacles merging into him. And the digestive juices in this individual stomach were weaker, meant to promote merging, not simply being dissolved. He was damaged, but still alive. The individual stomach also was a lot closer to the skin. So he punched through it and used his flamethrower to burn his way out. The fun part was getting back to the surface without drowning in the sand.
Damn... I wish I could find an encyclopedia on this stuff or seen something like that in either the shows or films because that literally sounds similar to the Grey Slime Nol-null (or Mongol-Mongol? I can never remember what it was called). Heck I would love nothing more than Lucasfilms to make a National Geographic style film on their own space Fauna... I'd pay to watch that.
Considering the random stormtrooper was mostly intact, and I'd say he'd been in there for a few years at least, so the sarlacc probobly doesn't have that powerful a stomach.
Sarlacc keep their victims alive while it feed on their intelligence and body matter The sarlacc merge his blood system with the one of his victims and slowly make them fusion with him mentally and physically over the course of many many years of constant pain and torment.
@@trigz8626 that might just be in Legends however, in Canon we haven’t received that level of information about a Sarlaac, so it might just be a legend in Canon and in Legends it’s quite a real phenomenon.
I recall a comic or book in the 90s that detailed that the Sarlacc would also communicate with prey it had swallowed. It would bore tendrils into the victims and it would somehow neurologically commune with them. It was inevitable that stray communication from other victims would intersect each other as well . The more interesting subjects would be moved to a less caustic stomach where their demise was prolonged. Less interesting would be consumed more readily. It would be interesting if The Book of Boba Fett touched on this issue and would be some cause for Fett being more calculated than vicious.
I think the Sarlacc was once a marine animal that borrowed into the sea floor back when Tattooin had oceans covering its surface like how some sea creatures on earth can and the reason it stays underground is because it might also have a set of gills and gather whatever water from it can to allow itself to breathe something like a lung fish or even stromatolites this is just my theory.
No. They travel using spores and take more than 30k years to become mature and then burry itself in the ground. The spores travelled trough space. Sarlaccs where found on many planets including Felucia.
@@halometroid I think it's fair to say you're both looking far more into it that needs be. I'm a star wars fan from the original trilogy and can't help but think you guys should just sit back and try to enjoy it. You sound like star trek fans.....and that's never a good look!
@@alexandernorth4461 It possible they were a animal originally from the planet tattooin but might of learn to traveled into space to look for more worlds to invade kinda like locus or rats when their original planet became a wasteland and looked for more food from other planets
I think it’s fine to bring things back from the older films but ONLY if it stays true to the story line rather than just throwing things in. Nostalgia is cool but it can’t be over done.
Interesting take on it saying Jabba was lying. My understanding was that it was more like the hive mind in Halo joining to a victim and keeping them alive for the thousand years.
I guess it makes sense, since Fennec said that normal armor would have been decently dissolved by then, meaning there is no way flesh could survive 1000 years. It might take a lot longer than normal, but probably not anywhere close to 1000 years in canon.
I think in Canon the Sarlaac does keep its victims alive, but nowhere near a 1000 years, maybe a couple years at most, or maybe the victims die much sooner and the whole thing Jabba said about being slowly digested for a thousand years doesn’t necessarily mean that you have to be *alive* to be digested. Still, it’s probably just a horror story to scare people in Canon. In Legends however…it’s more or less true to the legend, that it does keeps its victims alive for a thousand years, although, there have been I think six different stories told about Boba escaping, and from what I recall, only one of them really went into detail about the digestion process, the rest weren’t quite as extensive, some even had him not being conscious during his stay inside so we don’t know what really happens. Really, it’s suggestive in Legends, depending on which story you prefer involving the Sarlaac Pit, though there might be a book about the Sarlaacs, I just can’t remember it’s name, a quick Google search would probably answer you though.
Pretty sure a Crate Dragon is more feared than a Sarlacc. A Sarlacc just sits in the sand while the Crate Dragon moves around and Cate Dragons eat Sarlaccs. So pretty sure theCrate Dragon was the Apex predator on that planet.
I liked the fact that we didn't see the beak right away, it looked like the original 83 version. What I wanna see is a baby Sarlacc moving on the surface.
Idk about the Sarlacc being one of the most feared creatures on Tatooine… I mean anyone could have killed it by just dropping a few Thermal Detonators down it’s mouth… Krayt dragons are way more fearsome and badass… Tbh not sure why it wasn’t destroyed a long time ago… unless Jabba kept its location a secret and it was feared because it was his worst torture/punishment for enemies/traitors.
Why would anyone go out of their way to kill a creature that doesnt bother them? Would you buy a few hundred dollars worth of grenades and venture out into the sahara just to kill a single crocodile? Probably not right? Plus dropping in a detonator isnt that easy. You might get grabbed by one of those tentacles and get eaten instead, or blow both of you up at the same time.
Why it’s so feared is not because of its size but because you literally get injected with toxins that keep you alive for 1000 years and slowly being digested and turned to a meat husk, that is still feeling everything the whole time. Whereas the Krayt dragon is just a big lizard that eats you and then you are dead.
He says "one of the most feared creatures", so there's nothing about that statement that means a krayt dragon can't be even more feared. Also, I'm assuming that most people wandering around Tatooine aren't carrying around thermal detonators just in case they come across a sarlacc. And if they can be up to 100 meters tall, that would mean their tentacles/arms are pretty damn long too. Making it possible for them ambush anything that wanders near it before their victims even realize they are there.
I think that would have been a neat revisit in a movie. Going to a new planet and discovering a GIANTIC sarlacc. Maybe one big enough to have a space city built over or around the pit. Plus I'm sure I read as spores, they could travel across space, to new planets.
I think there's a certain point, where bringing back stuff is no longer fun, it's safe and kinda boring, and this point is getting closer. The Sarlacc scene in ep4 of TBOBF was kinda cool, unlike in the Special Edition, they made the beak look cool, but if the Kenobi series will continue to do the throwbacks, we will reach that said point very soon.
that being said I also rather have throwbacks than what Disney think star wars is. they go in very wrong direction when they try new stuff. and look I also want new crap in star wars just not from disney
@@omarguerra1838 My biggest problem with the throwbacks is that they're purposefully taking away the attention from all the potential flaws of the show, and I think they do too good of a job in that department.

They doin' OK for a side-project, a little spin-off, but you can tell, a lot less effort goes into it, than the Mandalorian. Look at these breakdown videos, average lenght is about 12-15 minutes, and they're talking for like 3 minutes about the plot, and 10 more on stuff like "Krrsantan having the same knuckledusters like in the comics", or "is it Max Rebo, or just some dude looking like Max Rebo". Easter eggs makes all of us miss the point. I feel punked if this tactic is working on me.
Too late.. All it is is Throwbacks, Retcons, ‘Disneyfying” established characters and creating new characters which dinae fit at all.. Also, may as well call it ‘the book of Tattooine, with a Boba Fett look-like” show….
The only thing I don't understand is why Boba went back to the Sarlacc looking for his armor. He knew that he had it on when he got out of the pit. Even if he had really blurry memories about that, it would be pretty logical to assume that he didn't get spat out in his dry underwear. I haven't gone back to rewatch the first episode, but a reasonably sure he demanded his armor from the Tuskens who had him chained up.
he fell unconscious after crawling out of both the sarlaac and some feet of sand, then presumably hours later, some jawas came up and stole it off him while he was lying there, he briefly woke up but was quickly knocked out by a jawas rifle butt before he could grasp what was really happening. so him still thinking his armor was still in the sarlaac in between getting knocked unconscious a few good times and then fever dreams brought on by the bacta tank would probably distort his assumptions a little...
Damn there’s some crazy text in that diagram, about how the Sarlacc incorporates its prey into its own biology and keeps them alive, extending their torment for thousands of years.
For those of you who know a LOT more than me, are the Sarlaccs related to the creature that was in the garbage bin in "Star Wars, A New Hope?" IF not, what was that creature, seemed to be plantlike as well. Thanks!
A point of observables correction: The Acid observed is a liquid/slime, fetts armor is plate and cloth. The cloth would have been eaten if the slow digestion was not true. Further a Narrative correction- At the point of the conversation between Fenic and Boba- She speculates that the armor would be gone under the time it has been their- however boba had escaped for at least a year by now. Finally- Boba goes in to search the sarlac after killing it- presumably for several minutes to hours- as he did was not show signs of new burns we can deduce the acid is weaker then human stomach acid. Far more likely the acid does take a VERY long time to digest, years at least, which makes sense as a fast digestion = a fast metabolism and for a creature in a desert that does not move this would be ideal. The victims more likely gets stuck by tension and claw when he initially falls in and slowly starves to death. I speculate the tension loosens over the course of months and presumably allowed Boba to move enough to fight inside the beast. I suspect the storm trooper was also still alive but far weaker then boba though I doubt we will find out if that is true.
Imagine living for 30,000+ years only for some jerk to show up and drop a bomb in your gut. Anything that lives that long probably doesn’t have any natural predators either though. I mean what are the odds that a massive creature that is incapable of locomotion would live that long if there is a predator that could eat it? 30,000 years is an incomprehensibly long time after all 🤔
Krayt dragons are a natural predator of the Sarlacc, but they're rare. Plus they have Tuskens offering banthas to keep them full so the dragon won't go after the tribe.
Maybe it's like a Polar bears, it will eat anything that moves. Polars are the only creatures that will actively hunt humans and have no fear of humans. But humans are not part of their diet but will eat them if given the chance. Sarlacc are difficult to locate but given the chance they will eat it.
If it was Boba Fetts armor that saved him, why wasn’t that stormtroopers armor dissolved? The main theory is that he was a part of the search team for C-3PO and R2-D2, so he was there way longer than Boba. Food for thought
Though the games arent csnon. The force awakens 3 sarlac was in so much pain that even a jedi could sense it. So tbey are alive so i dont really think of it as a plant really as much as a fearsome creature you dont want to meet
Any time I’d ever think of the sarrlac pit, I’d think of the tatooine level in the first Star Wars battlefront, where many times as a kid I’d be grabbed into it mid fight
What about the stormtrooper in the sarlacc? There's a theory he's from zeta squadron, the ones looking for C-3PO and R2-D2 in A New Hope. How much time is between then and Return of the Jedi? What is stormtrooper armour made of?
Video: everything in the Sarlac would be digested very quickly [because of the stomach acids] Boba Fett: watching a dead stormtrooper and his armor sitting for years in the Sarlac pit
I’m wondering if the seismic charge that was used by Boba’s ship is actually the reason that the Krayt Dragon woke up and wreaked havoc in The Mandalorian.
you sound exactly like this other guy on a channel who does videos of game of thrones and wheel of time stuff with drawings. I love his stuff, simple and fast. I'll look up what it is called and come back and edit
So I may have misunderstood, but you said something about Jabba having lied about the Sarlaac taking so long to digest prey due to how the acid was breaking down Boba's armor and anything weaker than Beskar would be gone in a few weeks. If that were the case, how did the stormtrooper that was down there with Boba seem nearly unscathed? He had to have fallen in before Boba and Boba was down there for years, right?
It seemed he wasn’t down there too long. Maybe a day or two considering he just woke up and hadn’t died from suffocation yet. He grabbed the oxygen from the stormtrooper and used it right away.
@@joshuamirabal3617 But when he fell in, we were still in Return of the Jedi. I was lead to believe Book of Boba Fett took place closer to Mando time when Empire had already fell and things were starting for new republic.
@@michaelsinclair1343 I think he was with the tusken tribe for years. When he returns to the Sarlacc pit with the slave one, he says something about it being where he left his armor "all those years ago."
@@karlrovey Ah okay that makes more sense. Also explains how he's still so scarred even after all the bacta tank visits. If he had spent years before being treated he would've mostly scarred over already.
This kind of reminds me of a very very very very long worm like creature from my world, this creature was anywhere from 100 miles to 3000 miles long and actually judging by its size you would think it’s very slow but you would be mistaken, it is one of the fastest creatures in my world.
So if his armor protected him from the acids, how did he come out so scared and injured? The book Tales of the bounty hunters did a way better job of telling Boba’s story in my opinion.
There are still parts of his body that are not covered in Beskar. Would it not be unlikely for the acid to seep into those lesser materials and then into his skin?
I find the title funny because I think I can grasp being digested for 1000 years would not be fun at all. It seems fun having a creature slowly eat you over time.
I thought that the *Sarlaac* looked way better without the later addition of the stupid-looking, beaked, inner mouth... According to the canon from the Force Unleashed, there's a *Salaac* on Felucia which was called the *Ancient Abyss* and, at a vast *Four* _frickin'_ *Kilometers* across, was reputed to be the biggest in the Galaxy (in part due to millennia of exposure to light side force energy from the abundant life on Felucia, & in part due to further meddling by Jedi Master *Shaak Ti).* In time, the Empire would come to Felucia to exterminate the local tribes of force sensitive sapients. Seeing the value to be gained by researching the now vast *Sarlaac,* they forcibly (& painfully) embedded their base within the beast's gullet, with massively chained supports, preventing it from retailating against them. It was eventually freed by the *ex-Sith Apprentice* (& now *Grey Jedi) Galen **_"Starkiller"_** Marek...*
Maybe the acid or digestive fluid that would dissolve the metal has a harder time dissolving flesh for some reason. I don't think all acids are as straightforward as, "well if it dissolves metal then skin is no problem." I could be wrong about that, however there is the episode of breaking bad where they use the acid in a porcelain bathtub, and it dissolves the porcelain, but Walter had specifically requested a type of plastic tub that it wouldn't have eaten through. To someone who isn't a chemist, this would seem illogical.
Jabba wasn't lying. It is largely believed that through some undisclosed means the Sarlacc somehow keeps those it devours consciousness alive for a thousand years as it digests/integrates it into itself even after the body has completely dissolved away. Jabba wasn't talking about their bodies, rather their very identity or soul, if you will.
I came up with a cool theory…The Thing from John Carpenter’s 1982 movie. Sarlaccs are surviving Things that consumed the original creatures of Tattoine and lost the ability to replicate along the way…OR maybe these are the original Things, and Carpenter’s version evolved from this, to search out more prey.
idk about Carpenter but no, Tatooine used to be a paradise with an intellegant life form until the Rekatan empire arrived. They enslaved the people but when they retialiated and won the Rekatans bombed the place like mandalore to sand. So the ocean crystalized to sand and the people were forced to hide into the caves. Were they evolved to 2 diffrent species, the Tuskins and the Jawas
If i remember right sarlacs can be force sensitive to a degree supposedly just enough that when they eat something they also gain the memories of what it feeds on.
it might be possible that the creature has a separate stomach that is filled with a more concentrated acid to get rid of anything that it could not gain any nutrients from
I assume it would have grabbed him anyway. Maybe he was out of fuel or his pack was broken from Han. And when those assassins attacked him why didn’t he fly up and shoot them? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I haven't gone back to rewatch the first episode, but a reasonably sure he demanded his armor from the Tuskens who had him chained up.
I think he assumed they took it when they took him and when he found they didn’t he figured it was back there.
he fell unconscious after crawling out of both the sarlaac and some feet of sand, then presumably hours later, some jawas came up and stole it off him while he was lying there, he briefly woke up but was quickly knocked out by a jawas rifle butt before he could grasp what was really happening.
so him still thinking his armor was still in the sarlaac in between getting knocked unconscious a few good times and then fever dreams brought on by the bacta tank would probably distort his assumptions a little...
Because Faverou wrote Boba to be a bumbling old man with Alzheimer’s and no clue who he is or what he should be doing..
I want Star Wars cinema series of just the wildlife
I like the idea that there are many other smaller sarlacs but that this one is only so big and old because Jabba feeds him constantly
Damn there’s some crazy text in that diagram, about how the Sarlacc incorporates its prey into its own biology and keeps them alive, extending their torment for thousands of years.
I loved the beginning of the video "force crush that like button", that's just too good!
I remember playing force unleashed having to fight a Sarlacc and Shaak Ti at the same time... this is super cool.
This explanation of the Sarlacc’s digestive process seems more believable than the other explanations
For those of you who know a LOT more than me, are the Sarlaccs related to the creature that was in the garbage bin in "Star Wars, A New Hope?" IF not, what was that creature, seemed to be plantlike as well. Thanks!
Also fun fact they were featured as enemies the N64 game Shadow of the Empire
Definitely not related. It's called a Dianoga.
@@Leondrius Thanks!
A point of observables correction: The Acid observed is a liquid/slime, fetts armor is plate and cloth. The cloth would have been eaten if the slow digestion was not true. Further a Narrative correction- At the point of the conversation between Fenic and Boba- She speculates that the armor would be gone under the time it has been their- however boba had escaped for at least a year by now.
Finally- Boba goes in to search the sarlac after killing it- presumably for several minutes to hours- as he did was not show signs of new burns we can deduce the acid is weaker then human stomach acid.
Far more likely the acid does take a VERY long time to digest, years at least, which makes sense as a fast digestion = a fast metabolism and for a creature in a desert that does not move this would be ideal. The victims more likely gets stuck by tension and claw when he initially falls in and slowly starves to death. I speculate the tension loosens over the course of months and presumably allowed Boba to move enough to fight inside the beast. I suspect the storm trooper was also still alive but far weaker then boba though I doubt we will find out if that is true.
Imagine living for 30,000+ years only for some jerk to show up and drop a bomb in your gut.
Anything that lives that long probably doesn’t have any natural predators either though. I mean what are the odds that a massive creature that is incapable of locomotion would live that long if there is a predator that could eat it? 30,000 years is an incomprehensibly long time after all 🤔
Krayt dragons are a natural predator of the Sarlacc, but they're rare. Plus they have Tuskens offering banthas to keep them full so the dragon won't go after the tribe.
Depend on the breed of Krayt Dragon, plus some Sarlacc are way too big to be eaten. The one in the movie was not that big lol
Maybe it's like a Polar bears, it will eat anything that moves. Polars are the only creatures that will actively hunt humans and have no fear of humans. But humans are not part of their diet but will eat them if given the chance. Sarlacc are difficult to locate but given the chance they will eat it.
If it was Boba Fetts armor that saved him, why wasn’t that stormtroopers armor dissolved? The main theory is that he was a part of the search team for C-3PO and R2-D2, so he was there way longer than Boba. Food for thought
Glad the book of Boba showed up 30 seconds of an escape…what could have been a very memorable and horrific scene was just passed over.
Though the games arent csnon. The force awakens 3 sarlac was in so much pain that even a jedi could sense it. So tbey are alive so i dont really think of it as a plant really as much as a fearsome creature you dont want to meet
So it kinda seems like it would be impossible to live 1000 years inside, assuming that the acid would mess your body up or that you would suffocate
The Sarlacc is one my favorite beasts in Star Wars.
I'd love to see that dragon on the big screen omg wow
What book is that big crosssection from?
Any time I’d ever think of the sarrlac pit, I’d think of the tatooine level in the first Star Wars battlefront, where many times as a kid I’d be grabbed into it mid fight
A battle between the sarlac and dragon would make a nice visual feast
Why Darth Jar Jar is more terrifying than you think
Yeah I would like to see another sarlacc battle that was one of the greatest scenes in original trilogy and definitely didn't go Jabba's way
What about the stormtrooper in the sarlacc? There's a theory he's from zeta squadron, the ones looking for C-3PO and R2-D2 in A New Hope. How much time is between then and Return of the Jedi? What is stormtrooper armour made of?
Video: everything in the Sarlac would be digested very quickly [because of the stomach acids]
Boba Fett: watching a dead stormtrooper and his armor sitting for years in the Sarlac pit
Beak or no beak, the sarlacc is hands down the most horrifying lifeform ever created
Falling into a sarlacc pit is a fate I wouldn't wish on my worst friend of my best enemy.
For some strange reason I see myself pissing into the Gape of a Sarlacc Pit.🤷♂️
Perhaps the only person to make it out alive from inside a Sarlaac. Probably gave Boba Fett nightmares all his life.
So now we see why the Sarlacc Petting Zoo never took off...
I’m wondering if the seismic charge that was used by Boba’s ship is actually the reason that the Krayt Dragon woke up and wreaked havoc in The Mandalorian.
Thats my canon now, thank you
That....isn't a bad idea.
Not bad, but Cobb Vanth claimed the krayt had been prowling the area since before Mos Pelgo was founded
you sound exactly like this other guy on a channel who does videos of game of thrones and wheel of time stuff with drawings.
I love his stuff, simple and fast.
I'll look up what it is called and come back and edit
video idea: who created the droids
this is a lame idea but i was always curious about where they came from
I would like to see one Surface! What would it take to make one Surface, Maybe a good Segment for upcoming Obi Wan series.
a Sarlacc Jedi master would be so dope
It's funny that he goes back to look for his armor inside the sarlaac
How old were the gigantic Sarlacc on Felucia?
How could anyone know anything for sure about such a creature?
It takes 30,000 years to reach maturity? Who could possibly study its lifecycle?
Bruh did you just say “gaba the hutt” in the first second of the video? 😂 caught me off guard with that one
Great vid! 👍🏼
So I may have misunderstood, but you said something about Jabba having lied about the Sarlaac taking so long to digest prey due to how the acid was breaking down Boba's armor and anything weaker than Beskar would be gone in a few weeks. If that were the case, how did the stormtrooper that was down there with Boba seem nearly unscathed? He had to have fallen in before Boba and Boba was down there for years, right?
It seemed he wasn’t down there too long. Maybe a day or two considering he just woke up and hadn’t died from suffocation yet. He grabbed the oxygen from the stormtrooper and used it right away.
@@joshuamirabal3617 But when he fell in, we were still in Return of the Jedi. I was lead to believe Book of Boba Fett took place closer to Mando time when Empire had already fell and things were starting for new republic.
@@michaelsinclair1343 I think he was with the tusken tribe for years. When he returns to the Sarlacc pit with the slave one, he says something about it being where he left his armor "all those years ago."
@@karlrovey Ah okay that makes more sense. Also explains how he's still so scarred even after all the bacta tank visits. If he had spent years before being treated he would've mostly scarred over already.
@@michaelsinclair1343 Don't forget that he was re-exposed to the acid if the Sarlacc while trying to find his armor.
no more sarlacc please. One is quite enough
Happy to see that Boba actually survive the ghastly beast
Thank you for calling the ship by its actual name
So quick sand is more dangerous then a Sarlacc...
Huh?
I’d love to see a relationship between Sarlaacs and Space Slugs, like the one that almost ate the Millennium Falcon in The Empire Strikes Back.
I’m pretty sure that there’s some kind of sarlac in the force unleashed
Would like to see them utilized when they are dead or find bigger ones
I always thought it was the beak version that was canon, but both are canon because the beak sits at the bottom when it is resting
Personally, I would've preferred Boba kept the sarlacc alive in BoBF and flew back over the Dune Sea every year to strafe it from orbit.
This kind of reminds me of a very very very very long worm like creature from my world, this creature was anywhere from 100 miles to 3000 miles long and actually judging by its size you would think it’s very slow but you would be mistaken, it is one of the fastest creatures in my world.
Apparently the Sarlacc talks like a surfer...
_Star Wars: From A Certain Point of View - Return of the Jedi_ audiobook
So if his armor protected him from the acids, how did he come out so scared and injured? The book Tales of the bounty hunters did a way better job of telling Boba’s story in my opinion.
There are still parts of his body that are not covered in Beskar. Would it not be unlikely for the acid to seep into those lesser materials and then into his skin?
There was no oxygen inside the sarlacc pit, and it was very tight there
Beskar Armour is NOT a Spacesuit . Not Liquid/Gas tight . Acid can get inside .
Wait a Sec, wasnt there also a Sarlacc on Umbara, that ate a Clone and almost General Krell?
Different species.
I would like a full documentary about there behaviour , there biology , and more
I want to see Mos espa become home to a Sarlat so big it can bring down star destroyers
Jabba sure has been quiet since this video dropped
Totally amazing video,fantastic job.
Like Bobba said, "the Sarlacc & Indo sack make slack..
I find the title funny because I think I can grasp being digested for 1000 years would not be fun at all. It seems fun having a creature slowly eat you over time.
he said force crush that subscribe button
now I am said Jabba was like, " It's just a prank bro. You are just going to digest kinda slow"
I thought that the *Sarlaac* looked way better without the later addition of the stupid-looking, beaked, inner mouth...
According to the canon from the Force Unleashed, there's a *Salaac* on Felucia which was called the *Ancient Abyss* and, at a vast *Four* _frickin'_ *Kilometers* across, was reputed to be the biggest in the Galaxy (in part due to millennia of exposure to light side force energy from the abundant life on Felucia, & in part due to further meddling by Jedi Master *Shaak Ti).*
In time, the Empire would come to Felucia to exterminate the local tribes of force sensitive sapients. Seeing the value to be gained by researching the now vast *Sarlaac,* they forcibly (& painfully) embedded their base within the beast's gullet, with massively chained supports, preventing it from retailating against them. It was eventually freed by the *ex-Sith Apprentice* (& now *Grey Jedi) Galen **_"Starkiller"_** Marek...*
My disappointment is immeasurable, you did not let us hear the sound of the bomb.
Maybe the acid or digestive fluid that would dissolve the metal has a harder time dissolving flesh for some reason. I don't think all acids are as straightforward as, "well if it dissolves metal then skin is no problem."
I could be wrong about that, however there is the episode of breaking bad where they use the acid in a porcelain bathtub, and it dissolves the porcelain, but Walter had specifically requested a type of plastic tub that it wouldn't have eaten through. To someone who isn't a chemist, this would seem illogical.
I always thought of sarlaacs as some twisted form of Cnidarians (Sea anemonies and the like.)
Jabba wasn't lying. It is largely believed that through some undisclosed means the Sarlacc somehow keeps those it devours consciousness alive for a thousand years as it digests/integrates it into itself even after the body has completely dissolved away.
Jabba wasn't talking about their bodies, rather their very identity or soul, if you will.
That actually make sense in a way. The body gone but the mind be trap.
Where do the spikes around the pit come from?
Has anyone else noticed that the narration of this video sounds the exact same as like 500 other channels. Skynet is taking over
I wouldn’t want to sit in one place for 30,000 years
I came up with a cool theory…The Thing from John Carpenter’s 1982 movie. Sarlaccs are surviving Things that consumed the original creatures of Tattoine and lost the ability to replicate along the way…OR maybe these are the original Things, and Carpenter’s version evolved from this, to search out more prey.
idk about Carpenter but no, Tatooine used to be a paradise with an intellegant life form until the Rekatan empire arrived. They enslaved the people but when they retialiated and won the Rekatans bombed the place like mandalore to sand. So the ocean crystalized to sand and the people were forced to hide into the caves. Were they evolved to 2 diffrent species, the Tuskins and the Jawas
@@jabs_labs6828 That doesn’t explain the Sarlacc. I’m familiar with the story of Tatottoine.
I wonder what the dark side would twist that creature into
Did the Sarlacc have the beak before the special edition?
Because I don't remember seeing the beak in the video game.
in force awakens there is a stage where you go inside a really huge sarlac pit
They had one in little shop of horrors.
Feed me. Feed me now!
I would like to see one utilize Aboard a starship as a form of waste disposal like the creature in the garbage pit
If i remember right sarlacs can be force sensitive to a degree supposedly just enough that when they eat something they also gain the memories of what it feeds on.
It makes me think-if Boba can survive the Sarlacc, then Windu can survive that fall.
Dear god no, don’t let Disney ruin Windu too…
I'm sick of Tattoine, Wookies, Ewoks, and Gungans. Take me somewhere new. If anything, give me live-action Revan. Everything pales to Darth Helmet.
It’s cause they’re easy and well known. We got a bit of variety in Mando but I’d love to see the variety of clone wars in live action.
Yes, but where exactly was the pit that the Kobb Vanth Krayt ate?! In that cave we saw? The Sarlaac lived in there sideways??.....
it might be possible that the creature has a separate stomach that is filled with a more concentrated acid to get rid of anything that it could not gain any nutrients from
I think in Legends that the sarlaac spread tendrils(tentacles?) Out for miles around its body.
Definitely more afraid of a Krayt Dragon.
Buuuut, being eaten by a Sarlacc? Yea, much worse.
I wonder why Boba Fett didn't just use his rocket pack and simply fly out of the Sarlacc rather than digging up through the ground?
I assume it would have grabbed him anyway. Maybe he was out of fuel or his pack was broken from Han. And when those assassins attacked him why didn’t he fly up and shoot them? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
It was probably damaged from when Han Solo hit it.
@@zeelyle2002 explains why it was damaged in the mandalorian
We nearly have enough wildlife on Tattootine to make a convincing star wars open world set there.
I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy.
The meat dragon overtook the sarlak as the scariest monster on that planet
