I kinda just want a star wars series that focuses on a different person every episode just living their life. A stormtrooper on the death star, a bartender working on some planet, a policeofficer in the lower levels of Corusant. We could see their job, their homes, their relationship with family and friends. I think a lot of interesting stories can be told from different perspectives.
I think thats what from a certain point of view is trying to do - I'm not quite done with the first one, but there has been stories of characters just dealing with the bureaucracy of the empire, one of the woman who owns the tatooine cantina, a couple about stormtroopers , two about the customs of tuscan raiders, and my favorite of these, which was about one jawas everyday life, looting droids and ships specifically to watch their memories. (my favorite over all is obi wans) I think its really neat! Given they're not all by the same writers they have... varying degrees of quality, but if this is something you're interested in i recommend it!
Something like this has pretty much been my dream Star Wars content for a very long time. I liked Star Wars from a very young age but part of why it became my favourite fantasy universe was Star Wars Galaxies. The level of freedom in that game to be a crafter, musician, pilot, soldier, doctor, or whatever you could really think of (within realistic bounds) really captured my imagination and showed me what a fantastic storytelling potential the galaxy far, far away has. It's good to know others are really focused on this aspect, that means a higher chance of it actually happening some day.

We actually have had an early form of the "corporate citizenship" you referred to in recent Earth history. In the late 19th century rural towns built around a mine or factory might have 100% of the residents on the company payroll. Your home might be rented from the company and every retail establishment might be operated by the company. Some went so far as to extend credit based on your paycheck in such places so you didn't have to carry cash. The song "Sixteen Tons" (written in 1947 but most famous as a cover released in 1955) includes the line "I owe my soul to the company store." By the mid 20th century such towns had mostly disappeared but there are still places where the largest employer in a particular place holds considerable sway over local government. Where I live now (population 150,000) 1 in 5 adults are employed by a local university that operates 2 hospitals and is building a 3rd. In a region famously solid to one side of the political spectrum local politics is hard the other direction because the university is.
That depends on which East India Company you're taking about. The British company was in some ways a proxy of theirs government, while the Dutch company was allowed to wage war in its own right.

About #2: I keep seeing comments about all sorts of conspiracy theories and shadow organizations behind real-world events, when the answer is more simple: stupidity and/or lack of control.
Historically, there have been Corporatocracies, such as the EITC's Rule of India before the British Raj, the Hudson Bay Company's Rule over the Hudson Bay Area of Canada, and the various corporatocracies of Sci-Fi. Some would argue Corporatocracy is the future and if so, we must rise up to ensure we are never ruled over by companies.
There is also have been cities here in the United States that were ran by big businesses. Like her she was owned and founded by the Hershey Corporation and Detroit was I guess you can say unofficially founded by Henry Ford in order to have accommodations for the first people on the assembly line and also for the model a Model T e c t. Part of the reason why it's dying? River the droids are here to take over after all lol.
The real threat posed by human sized hornets would be the low gravity and high oxygen percentage of the air wherever they are living. Too much oxygen can poison a human and low gravity is bad for the bones.
about the food thing, if the various alien races can interbreed with each other, they probably don’t have all that much trouble eating each others’ food.
Taxes. . . Could not the empire make it so the planet paid takes based on its GDP instead of trying to go after each individual citizen? This way they are handling planets and not getting bogged down in minutia?
I suspect that was one of the reasons for the Empire's system of regional Moffs and planetary governors. Coruscant didn't really care about Joh Bloh's taxes specifically, so it's not like he would have Imperial Revenue Service agents from the core sectors knocking on his door any time soon - but the central office could run numbers on the taxes the planet was paying easily enough, and if it was lower than expected, they'd send the governor a nasty-gram requiring him or her to clean house, find the tax evaders, and brass up. The tax cheat would get a visit, but from planetary or system-level officials, not by hotshots from Coruscant itself.

@@tomtheconqerur Bolt guns are only available for Space Marines and Commisars. Both of which were retardedly rare. Also, regular blasters are stronger than .50 caliber guns and can even collapse passageways or destroy vehicles in one shot. Take the SW Christmas special cartoon where Chewie takes Fett's pistol and destroys an Imperial vehicle chasing after them with one blast. Boltguns are nowhere near as strong as blasters, and you'll find yourself outgunned by even the common crooks and beat cops, let alone actual soldiers with military-grade rifles.
on the #10 Corperate Citizenship point: Before the 1960s in Montreal, Canada, corperations were considered citizens and had the right to vote and sit on city council.
If we go into further detail on StarWars food, there could be many counter measures. There exists a solid state fuel converter that turns nearly any matter into fuel. So maybe there's also something like a food replicator or converter or even salt pack like things to make food problems less of a problem. Also, Because Humans make up a majority of the Star Wars population it's plausible that the Aliens are worse off then us and have fewer occomidations made for them, with obvious native exceptions.
I don't see the problem with #8. There are so many dangers in the Galaxy that honestly it seems downright suicidal to not have even an ankle-strap blaster.

1:59 - 2:26 INCREDIBLE segment that I'm gonna take with me forever. I always _loved_ conspiracy theories when I was a teen, I always was *certain* that the goverments of the United States and of Russia and of the European Union all had these super complex and super elaborate ways of controlling people's lives and watching their every single move. I basically fantasized the CIA, the Mi6 and the Spetsnaz as being these fantasy-like agencies that controlled everything. When in reality, _yeah. Those agencies are actually 100x more limited than action movies and conspiracy theorists claim._ And the reality is, we used to embrace those conspiracies to convince ourselves that the goverment was behind everything. Every occurence, every bad event, it all NEEDED to have this "mysterious and super secret reason" for why it happened and that only the goverment and no one else could understand. *Because the thought of these events happening at random, completely outside of their control or under the control of criminal mafias and such was actually more terrifying. It left us feeling the world is a lot more "wild" and dangerous for it. And we didn't like that.* Even if at the time none of us noticed that, because we were too engrossed in these conspiracies to just open our eyes to the simpler truths. Being factical and logical and actually doing our own research on what was happening _was largely something that we just didn't do._ :/
I'm actually kind of surprised by how much I don't really agree with this one. While I agree with some of them it seems like others were just thrown in there. I'm sure taxation would be a bit more complicated for those that are directly dealing with it in the government, but I wouldn't say it's necessarily harder for the average citizen. It's not like at tax time I have to send separate checks to every entity I pay taxes to. I pay taxes to my state and federal governments. Last time I had to pay city taxes it was just rolled into my other forms. I'd like to think that when operating at a galactic level that you'd pay taxes to your local government and they pay taxes to the galactic government. That's how I'd run things, considering that the galactic government trying to look over the tax returns of trillions of individual citizens would be impossible. Although they already have an advantage by the fact that everything is computerized and there are no paper forms to fill out. You make it sound like every citizen is at the mercy of the galactic government and rely fully on them for any protection. Last I checked there were still local security forces. Some planets had actual armies. Seems like the equivalent of someone stealing my wallet then me crying because the UN didn't swoop in and help me out. While the galaxy is a dangerous place and many people did bring protection that isn't true for everyone. Firstly, not EVERY citizen explored the galaxy. A lot of people probably just spent most of their time on one planet and maybe only took a trip here or there to other planets. If your local area is relatively safe then you have no reason to be strapped all of the time. While I agree that different species will have different dietary needs, I'd like to think it's a bit more well known what is out there. Plus, maybe by this time they've figured out ways to try to find a common ground with a lot of common species running around and make foods that can satisfy a large number of them. If you're going to sell food in a marketplace frequented by many different types of beings you may steer away from selling food that's poisonous to a lot of other species. If your species has a lot of issues with the majority of alien food out there then you'll obviously have to take precautions and not just pull a Jar Jar and eat random stuff from a vendor's rack. Plus, I was under the impression a lot of food is served in markets around the galaxy so people might be familiar with it on numerous different planets. Such as the meiloorun fruit. Unless this is only inside the time of the Republic (didn't catch if you said this or not) then I wasn't under the impression that everyone knew what the Jedi were and witnessed their powers firsthand. I thought it was much more rare than you seem to let on. I'm sure a lot of citizens are used to the abilities of alien species they frequently run into, so it would be no surprise to them. I will say that it would be possible for them to find something they've never seen before if someone with some stranger powers do come by, but to some point you'd probably have to half expect this. You know the galaxy is a big place and you've probably heard about a lot of the different species running around. Seeing it firsthand might be a treat but I also wouldn't expect typical people would be seeing magic all of the time. You make planet destruction sound like a common thing in the galaxy. How many large events were there? Jedha, which was written off as a mining incident, Scariff, which the galaxy didn't even really know about, Alderaan which was a huge deal, but then nothing until Starkiller Base. I don't think those couple of incidents that people knew about is enough for people to become numb to the idea and just think that's how it is in the galaxy.
As for #10, you obviously didn't study colonial history. Many colonial governments, from Spain, to France, to Britain, had a rabbit up their butts over how much money a given colony makes for the mother country. Companies like the East India company had representation in the British parliament and even access to soldiers and warships. And even in Britain herself, the workers were worked worse than slaves, paid meager wages that can't even feed them while being expected to work from 9 to 9. It was ten times worse than anything the Trade Federation can do to you. At least they have robots for that kind of back-breaking shenanigans.
@@NightRaven-lh1bf No, since even regular governments themselves are also very obsessed about profits. Hence why taxes shoot up all the time there's a problem. They need profit, so they gouge their citizens' wallets for money.
@@NightRaven-lh1bf It's still profit in different terms. Both corporations and governments need more capital to fund both government programs and corporate expenses, as well as to fund new enterprises and expansions. Whether it's a new government program or a new corporate initiative, it needs capital, and both corporate and regular governments will need capital for both.

Imagine just living your life working at some club and suddenly the big mechanical star in the sky obliterates you and the entire planet you’ve been dedicating your life on
Corporate Citizenship actually pretty much happened in parts of the US in the early 1900s especially with coal miners, who had to live in company housing (subject to random search by company security since it's their property), were only paid in company credits to be used at the company store (which would have super marked up prices) and anyone caught with real money in their possession would be fired without question and become homeless and jobless with no transportation in the middle of the deep woods of Appalachia, possibly the better part of a hundred miles from anything of note- for modern day equivalent, imagine somewhere random in North Dakota, but without highways. And if you try to protest or unionize, they would hire private security to maim or kill you and your fellow demonstrators and even local law enforcement if they took your side (see Matewan) And that was just on a small scale xD in star wars, amazon blockades Hawaii and "Hope(s) you're aware the blockade is totally legal"
My family and I were sitting in a diner one day and we were talking about what kind of person we would be in the Star Wars universe. My sister voted rebel pilot. My mom voted Jedi. My dad voted Sith. I voted bounty hunter.
9:58 Well there was the whole company town mess... For all intents and purposes those were corporate government bodies and very oppressive ones at that. It might have even very nearly kicked off another revolution / civil war here in the US and arguably kind of did, look at the Coal Wars and the Battle of Blair Mountain in West Virginia 1921 in particular. In the case of Blair Mountain it escalated to the point of the company having a privately owned plane dropping bombs on an advancing army of 6,000-8,000 heavily armed union men. It's hardly if ever talked about in schools, which I just have no idea why that possibly could be /s, but it's something that basically already happened and having an autocratic corporate structure govern a place very predicably wound up basically having the same effect as a dictatorship.
You forgot to mention all of the different languages in Star Wars. Many humans can't speak, or even understand. Not to mention its possible that even humans speak a language not found on Earth. Galactic Basic may sound like English in the movies/TV shows, but that could just be translated.
So, I've been think about "Magic" and supernova elements being linked somehow. Everything already exists to consolidate magical energies, but a supernova has to occur in order to kickstart it in an instant, like the people who believe crystals have healing properties, the crystals have different properties, if the elements to magically charge these crystal with various energies do not exist because this so said supernova hasn't happened in order to create these new elements, which every time a supernova happens new elements are made without knowing what they can do yet. Granted I'm a Evolutionist so magic isn't something I'm familiar with like most who believe it, but I'm giving the idea that everything in space exists because supernovas made different elements when stars died, and that if its possible maybe we wont know if the force is real until then, just a theory.

We actually have had an early form of the "corporate citizenship" you referred to in recent Earth history. In the late 19th century rural towns built around a mine or factory might have 100% of the residents on the company payroll. Your home might be rented from the company and every retail establishment might be operated by the company. Some went so far as to extend credit based on your paycheck in such places so you didn't have to carry cash. The song "Sixteen Tons" (written in 1947 but most famous as a cover released in 1955) includes the line "I owe my soul to the company store."
By the mid 20th century such towns had mostly disappeared but there are still places where the largest employer in a particular place holds considerable sway over local government. Where I live now (population 150,000) 1 in 5 adults are employed by a local university that operates 2 hospitals and is building a 3rd. In a region famously solid to one side of the political spectrum local politics is hard the other direction because the university is.
Actually we HAVE seen companies behave like independent states or nations. The East India Company
don't forget the banana republics of south and central America.
Thomas Jefferson Exactly!
The Hudson Bay Company pretty much ran most of Canada during the 1800's.
That depends on which East India Company you're taking about. The British company was in some ways a proxy of theirs government, while the Dutch company was allowed to wage war in its own right.

About #2: I keep seeing comments about all sorts of conspiracy theories and shadow organizations behind real-world events, when the answer is more simple: stupidity and/or lack of control.
Lately some Conspiracy theories are turning out to be true.
Historically, there have been Corporatocracies, such as the EITC's Rule of India before the British Raj, the Hudson Bay Company's Rule over the Hudson Bay Area of Canada, and the various corporatocracies of Sci-Fi. Some would argue Corporatocracy is the future and if so, we must rise up to ensure we are never ruled over by companies.
There is also have been cities here in the United States that were ran by big businesses. Like her she was owned and founded by the Hershey Corporation and Detroit was I guess you can say unofficially founded by Henry Ford in order to have accommodations for the first people on the assembly line and also for the model a Model T e c t. Part of the reason why it's dying? River the droids are here to take over after all lol.
Hey Alan, I just wanted to say that I love Star Wars and I love your videos even more. Seriously man thank you! Keep up the good work
"You are your own first responder, so stay strapped," is good advice generally, and is VERY good advice in star wars.

“Just a tad bit boring” puts picture of murder bee
0:12
You would probably have to deal with actual murder hornets.
Ones what are the size of a person.
Lol yea that’s for sure
Or pandemics on a galactic scale.
The real threat posed by human sized hornets would be the low gravity and high oxygen percentage of the air wherever they are living. Too much oxygen can poison a human and low gravity is bad for the bones.
Taxation would be nuts to deal with especially if you were constantly on the move. My guess taxation is more setup like user fees.
about the food thing, if the various alien races can interbreed with each other, they probably don’t have all that much trouble eating each others’ food.
“Underwear is a symbol of oppression” - generation tech, 2020.
Taxes. . . Could not the empire make it so the planet paid takes based on its GDP instead of trying to go after each individual citizen? This way they are handling planets and not getting bogged down in minutia?
Based on the books, both legends and canonically, nope.
I suspect that was one of the reasons for the Empire's system of regional Moffs and planetary governors. Coruscant didn't really care about Joh Bloh's taxes specifically, so it's not like he would have Imperial Revenue Service agents from the core sectors knocking on his door any time soon - but the central office could run numbers on the taxes the planet was paying easily enough, and if it was lower than expected, they'd send the governor a nasty-gram requiring him or her to clean house, find the tax evaders, and brass up. The tax cheat would get a visit, but from planetary or system-level officials, not by hotshots from Coruscant itself.

"we have one of the most complicated tax codes in the world"
*laughs in Canadian* what no local taxes as well?
It depends on what city/county/whatever that you live in. Some have extra taxes, others don't.
Just imagine all the hassle in immigration; like you're just trying to move to another planet, finally got all of your regional, national, planetary and then Galactic Republic forms, documents, etc. And then in the middle of dealing with all that the galactic government changed from republic to empire and you gotta do it all over again-
NO wonder! Yet I prefer Earth based firearms than blasters. At 7:56
Which won't serve you when most droids and Stormtroopers are bulletproof.
@@HolyknightVader999 *laughs in bolt gun*
@@tomtheconqerur Bolt guns are only available for Space Marines and Commisars. Both of which were retardedly rare. Also, regular blasters are stronger than .50 caliber guns and can even collapse passageways or destroy vehicles in one shot. Take the SW Christmas special cartoon where Chewie takes Fett's pistol and destroys an Imperial vehicle chasing after them with one blast. Boltguns are nowhere near as strong as blasters, and you'll find yourself outgunned by even the common crooks and beat cops, let alone actual soldiers with military-grade rifles.
@@HolyknightVader999 sorry, saw "sw christmas special" and was physically incapable of taking that seriously
@@mrexists5400 Doesn't matter. Even in the earliest media, blasters had as much, if not more firepower than bolters.

If we go into further detail on StarWars food, there could be many counter measures. There exists a solid state fuel converter that turns nearly any matter into fuel. So maybe there's also something like a food replicator or converter or even salt pack like things to make food problems less of a problem. Also, Because Humans make up a majority of the Star Wars population it's plausible that the Aliens are worse off then us and have fewer occomidations made for them, with obvious native exceptions.
I don't see the problem with #8. There are so many dangers in the Galaxy that honestly it seems downright suicidal to not have even an ankle-strap blaster.
I personally prefer to live in a safe society where I don’t have to have ankle blaster all them time. But maybe I’m just getting old.

Step 6:Go meet some God's as a side quest for some force power (If you're not an asshole or disrespectful)

Hello Allen. I hope you're having a great day

1:59 - 2:26
INCREDIBLE segment that I'm gonna take with me forever.
I always _loved_ conspiracy theories when I was a teen, I always was *certain* that the goverments of the United States and of Russia and of the European Union all had these super complex and super elaborate ways of controlling people's lives and watching their every single move.
I basically fantasized the CIA, the Mi6 and the Spetsnaz as being these fantasy-like agencies that controlled everything.
When in reality, _yeah. Those agencies are actually 100x more limited than action movies and conspiracy theorists claim._ And the reality is, we used to embrace those conspiracies to convince ourselves that the goverment was behind everything. Every occurence, every bad event, it all NEEDED to have this "mysterious and super secret reason" for why it happened and that only the goverment and no one else could understand.
*Because the thought of these events happening at random, completely outside of their control or under the control of criminal mafias and such was actually more terrifying. It left us feeling the world is a lot more "wild" and dangerous for it. And we didn't like that.*
Even if at the time none of us noticed that, because we were too engrossed in these conspiracies to just open our eyes to the simpler truths. Being factical and logical and actually doing our own research on what was happening _was largely something that we just didn't do._ :/
I'm actually kind of surprised by how much I don't really agree with this one. While I agree with some of them it seems like others were just thrown in there.
I'm sure taxation would be a bit more complicated for those that are directly dealing with it in the government, but I wouldn't say it's necessarily harder for the average citizen. It's not like at tax time I have to send separate checks to every entity I pay taxes to. I pay taxes to my state and federal governments. Last time I had to pay city taxes it was just rolled into my other forms. I'd like to think that when operating at a galactic level that you'd pay taxes to your local government and they pay taxes to the galactic government. That's how I'd run things, considering that the galactic government trying to look over the tax returns of trillions of individual citizens would be impossible. Although they already have an advantage by the fact that everything is computerized and there are no paper forms to fill out.
You make it sound like every citizen is at the mercy of the galactic government and rely fully on them for any protection. Last I checked there were still local security forces. Some planets had actual armies. Seems like the equivalent of someone stealing my wallet then me crying because the UN didn't swoop in and help me out. While the galaxy is a dangerous place and many people did bring protection that isn't true for everyone. Firstly, not EVERY citizen explored the galaxy. A lot of people probably just spent most of their time on one planet and maybe only took a trip here or there to other planets. If your local area is relatively safe then you have no reason to be strapped all of the time.
While I agree that different species will have different dietary needs, I'd like to think it's a bit more well known what is out there. Plus, maybe by this time they've figured out ways to try to find a common ground with a lot of common species running around and make foods that can satisfy a large number of them. If you're going to sell food in a marketplace frequented by many different types of beings you may steer away from selling food that's poisonous to a lot of other species. If your species has a lot of issues with the majority of alien food out there then you'll obviously have to take precautions and not just pull a Jar Jar and eat random stuff from a vendor's rack. Plus, I was under the impression a lot of food is served in markets around the galaxy so people might be familiar with it on numerous different planets. Such as the meiloorun fruit.
Unless this is only inside the time of the Republic (didn't catch if you said this or not) then I wasn't under the impression that everyone knew what the Jedi were and witnessed their powers firsthand. I thought it was much more rare than you seem to let on. I'm sure a lot of citizens are used to the abilities of alien species they frequently run into, so it would be no surprise to them. I will say that it would be possible for them to find something they've never seen before if someone with some stranger powers do come by, but to some point you'd probably have to half expect this. You know the galaxy is a big place and you've probably heard about a lot of the different species running around. Seeing it firsthand might be a treat but I also wouldn't expect typical people would be seeing magic all of the time.
You make planet destruction sound like a common thing in the galaxy. How many large events were there? Jedha, which was written off as a mining incident, Scariff, which the galaxy didn't even really know about, Alderaan which was a huge deal, but then nothing until Starkiller Base. I don't think those couple of incidents that people knew about is enough for people to become numb to the idea and just think that's how it is in the galaxy.
Lol "prison for private parts", I'm dying Alan! 😂😂😂 Solid! 🙌

As for #10, you obviously didn't study colonial history. Many colonial governments, from Spain, to France, to Britain, had a rabbit up their butts over how much money a given colony makes for the mother country. Companies like the East India company had representation in the British parliament and even access to soldiers and warships. And even in Britain herself, the workers were worked worse than slaves, paid meager wages that can't even feed them while being expected to work from 9 to 9. It was ten times worse than anything the Trade Federation can do to you. At least they have robots for that kind of back-breaking shenanigans.
@@NightRaven-lh1bf No, since even regular governments themselves are also very obsessed about profits. Hence why taxes shoot up all the time there's a problem. They need profit, so they gouge their citizens' wallets for money.
@@NightRaven-lh1bf It's still profit in different terms. Both corporations and governments need more capital to fund both government programs and corporate expenses, as well as to fund new enterprises and expansions. Whether it's a new government program or a new corporate initiative, it needs capital, and both corporate and regular governments will need capital for both.
@@NightRaven-lh1bf And both of them need money going in.

10:02 sooner than you might think
there are a few states/countries which want to try that on a city level
Corporate Citizenship actually pretty much happened in parts of the US in the early 1900s especially with coal miners, who had to live in company housing (subject to random search by company security since it's their property), were only paid in company credits to be used at the company store (which would have super marked up prices) and anyone caught with real money in their possession would be fired without question and become homeless and jobless with no transportation in the middle of the deep woods of Appalachia, possibly the better part of a hundred miles from anything of note- for modern day equivalent, imagine somewhere random in North Dakota, but without highways. And if you try to protest or unionize, they would hire private security to maim or kill you and your fellow demonstrators and even local law enforcement if they took your side (see Matewan)
And that was just on a small scale xD in star wars, amazon blockades Hawaii and "Hope(s) you're aware the blockade is totally legal"

9:58 Well there was the whole company town mess... For all intents and purposes those were corporate government bodies and very oppressive ones at that. It might have even very nearly kicked off another revolution / civil war here in the US and arguably kind of did, look at the Coal Wars and the Battle of Blair Mountain in West Virginia 1921 in particular.
In the case of Blair Mountain it escalated to the point of the company having a privately owned plane dropping bombs on an advancing army of 6,000-8,000 heavily armed union men. It's hardly if ever talked about in schools, which I just have no idea why that possibly could be /s, but it's something that basically already happened and having an autocratic corporate structure govern a place very predicably wound up basically having the same effect as a dictatorship.
You forgot to mention all of the different languages in Star Wars. Many humans can't speak, or even understand. Not to mention its possible that even humans speak a language not found on Earth. Galactic Basic may sound like English in the movies/TV shows, but that could just be translated.
7:00 and she was a good friend
I have lived long enough with humans to know that it is the species that I can least trust.
So, I've been think about "Magic" and supernova elements being linked somehow. Everything already exists to consolidate magical energies, but a supernova has to occur in order to kickstart it in an instant, like the people who believe crystals have healing properties, the crystals have different properties, if the elements to magically charge these crystal with various energies do not exist because this so said supernova hasn't happened in order to create these new elements, which every time a supernova happens new elements are made without knowing what they can do yet.
Granted I'm a Evolutionist so magic isn't something I'm familiar with like most who believe it, but I'm giving the idea that everything in space exists because supernovas made different elements when stars died, and that if its possible maybe we wont know if the force is real until then, just a theory.
Just when I thought the specieist meant that you were going to say something nice about aliens, you swing back around to normal. You fooled me Alan.
