I remember the Vong were fairly controversial back in the day, especially with the killing of Chewbacca right from the start. If Disney has showed us anything, it's that the Vong were the actual way to go as they were a real threat and our heros did not have plot armor to protect them. I remember reading the books and it was almost like a real ongoing crisis.

Ikr the vong felt like an actual MASSIVE threat that had never been seen to this scale in galactic history and to me felt like a true sequel era to the original trilogy and clone war eras

Too bad they erased the Yuuzhan Vong War from Star Wars canon. This is what the Sequel Trilogy should've been; the biggest conflict in Star Wars history, an epic clash between all the factions of the Star Wars galaxy and the Yuuzhan Vong.

There's ways they could've improved the Yuuzhan Vong to make them fit better into Star Wars canon, but they didn't even try.

The yuuzhan vong wars were the best book series of all Star Wars books. I remember as a kid geek tearing up reading chewbaccas death, and you forgot to mention that the victory over the yuuzhan vong at Ebaq 9 was planned by admiral ackbar, but he died of poor health before the battle took place...so coalition got the moral drop of their lives before going to overcome that battle. Fuck Disney for buying Lucasarts, and overwriting this story with these new bullshit movies...this was a grand story. Jacen solo was the one who brought balance to the force. Anakin solos death was magnificent. Chewbaccas defiant last roar before the moon was brought down on sernpidal. As a teenage kid, I couldn't put the books down...the yuuzhan vong couldn't be felt in the force until the very end; because they were from a different galaxy, the force that Luke sky walker talk at the Jedi academy didn't apply to the vong, the vong saw the Jedi as powerful but nothing more that magicians and affronts to their gods. Pain to the vong was pleasure to us. Every vong ship and vessel was living; from world ships to coralskippers, to the living crab armor they wore that could deflect lightsabers, to the living lambant crystals anakin solo found and used to make his light saber with...the first lightsaber that used a living crystal...anakin solo also was the one to start learning how to sense the vong in the force. Jacen found the balance in the force between the vong universe and the Star Wars universe. Thanks for the Star Wars content, just found your stuff and subbed right away. All the stuff I said just adds weight to what you harped on already; that the Star Wars universe was in total ruin, and the amazing story of republic and Star Wars sides coming together, but it really is true to say that the ONLY way the Jedi, the republic, and the empire survived, along with everyone else; was to unite or be extinguished or enslaved. This meaning...this message of unity...is not the message in the new movies...Disney fucked up...fuck Disney. Thanks for the video!!!! Also, you're pretty damn trolly in this, I loved it, this whole video was the bridge you hide under:p
I think you should do something weird, chose any ship, and both sides have the exact same ship. The catch is that the crews are different, such as Old Republic vs the Empire, or Rebels Vs even the Covenant. Star wars factions, of course will be able to use force users associated with the faction. AI from halo would be used as well.

But you gotta admit, Borsk Fey'lya went out like a boss. He blew himself up along with 25,000 Yuuzhan Vong warriors
The vids just keep getting better and more funny. Keep up the good work.
I'd enjoy an in-depth analysis of the Second Galactic Civil War. The politics behind the secession movement, how the Alliance turned into a police state to fight it, the early battles, Jacen Solo's coup, the turning point when the Jedi Coalition joined the war, and the battles going forward from there.
Sweet video man.
Imagine a PS4/PS5/XBOX/PC game for the Yuuzhan Vong war, where you could be Republic or Imperial soldier or pilot, and in some missions even a Jedi, with the final mission being the final battle of Corrusant/Yuuzhang Tar.
I was waiting for it

Hey EckhartsLadder, I've got an interesting idea for a Star Wars Galactic Versus scenario video.What if the Martian War Machines from the original 1953 classic, "The War of the Worlds" suddenly landed during the Battle of Hoth, Endor or even Scariff from "Rogue One"?They appear to be pretty durable and have deadly weapon such as heat rays and disintegrator rays, plus they have shields that can withstand nuclear blasts.Aside from the Martians weakness to Earth bacteria, I think they could win a fight against the Rebels or even the Empire. What do you think? Please let me know.Thank you,Peter Lawless :)
I love the editor ahahah My calamari

I'm partial to The Battle of Borleias. Nothing beats Wedge and Tycho casually walking through the base cheerfully telling Jaina Solo about how they are drawing the Vong ground forces forward into a designed spot for some Lusankya Orbital Bombardment. It's a great Bromance moment. X-Wing series was always my favorite so I'm partial to the Wedge based books.
Your editor rules 🤣
You should do the unscrupulous Infiniti vs 3 star destroyers or the resurgence class battle cruiser vs a the halo savanna
Go through each time force users acheived oneness with the force
Coruscant has been through a lot of shit, in the Old Republic when the sith empire attacked the jedi temple and sacked Coruscant. The battle over coruscant when the chancellor got kidnapped there were around 10000 ships on either side and now the yuuzhan vong almost completely destroys it.
I'm not gonna go through all the comments, but I wanted to point out that you spelled Mon Calamari as My Calamari lmfao jus sayin! Love your vids, bro
A movie about this war woulda been a lot cooler than the one about Han Solo
The death of Borsk Fey'lya was worth the entire Vong war even if they had won.
Definitely need the number one battle to be in a video game (that isn’t Mass Effect) or a movie. I’m definitely a sucker for big like really big space battles
We needa movie of that...
