For some reason I always assumed that it wasn’t a species but rather just the individual nicknamed “Imperial Spy” from the Lego games

At first, I thought that the "nose" was something like breathing apparatus, not the species' actual nose. I'm still wondering how that stormtrooper on Tatooine was able to communicate/understand what that imperial spy said.

Same way chewie and Han can communicate or r2 and Luke. The breakdown I saw was that since all beings are connected to the force, sometimes intent and message just gets accross via the will of the force. When two beings know eachother after a long period of interaction they naturally start being able to communicate outside the concept of normal translation, kind of like how if you grow up around Spanish speakers you can kind communicate on broad strokes even if you couldn't actually speak the language. So, I think in the lore, that agent had regular interactions with the patrol commander so their comradery allowed them to cross the language barriers Their are also bog stabdard implants that were super cheap that could be implanted that aided in communication, but actual conversation required a protocol droid or actual fluency
Never knew this species' name until this video. Always found them interesting, yet I never gave it some thought to look into them. So it's nice to see this video to learn about them.

I wasn't aware of what their species were called either. In true goofy genre form I had imagined the Cantina spy guy as "turd face" as his vocalizations kind of sounded like someone's butt.
Episode IV was on tv the other week and I love the first act of the film. When the Imperial Spy was on screen I thought "I hope MetaNerdz makes a video on the species. It's just such a cool character design." This isn't the first time this has happened. MetaNerdz is definitely force sensitive. He knows what species I want to see before I even know.

I've always found this species curious. I'm just a guy who likes learning new stuff about other species, especially when it's sentient species like the Kubaz
honestly their culture is not that bad, especially the whole loving art work thing, except the eating sentient insectoid spiecies but they are basicly glorified anteaters so its understandable why they did that

Agreed. Hell, just someone familiar with zoology and Earth species just to design them in the first place would help. I play SWTOR, and I know this is probably the fault of it being a video game so it has a small number of basically frames it can put the outward skins of bodies on, but most of the animals look alike and there body shapes are just insane and not very functional. Nearly all the quadrupedal predators are either build like lizards, which at least is realistic and functional, or like some version of a lizard-hyena hybrid with such dramatically shortened hindquarters that I'm not sure what their movement is like, legs somewhat out to the side so they have to expend more energy to support themselves and move, and a massive head for their frame and overly-large, wide, short mouths. The bipedal ones are even worse- just vorantikus with different skins all day long. Except maybe the actual rakghouls, and the flesh raiders depending on if you count them as predators or not. The quadrupedal herbivores are mostly okay except for often having horns that go in front of and/or below their mouths, which given their lack of trunks or opposable limbs leaves them no way to actually eat anything. Not saying they should have custom-designed every frame so make each creature truly unique, but having more of them have the limb-underneath-the-body thing that mammals have, have normal looking-heads and mouths at least sometimes, and either the prey animals sticking to horns on top like buffalo/bison and rhinos have or prehensile trunks like elephants so they have some way to eat efficiently would have been nice. It's hard to enjoy a game when most of the wildlife breaks your suspension of disbelief.
Who would’ve thought the freaky elephant trunk lookin dude had so much backstory. Awesome video!
I don't know why, but the Kubaz remind me of the Death Korps of Kreig.

Makes sense. They both got cloaks, soulless eye goggles, and a form of hose petruding from their face.
Kubaz talking like: "Could the world's greatest fry cook do this?!"
That guy always gave me the creeps as a kid, probably because they look like alien plague doctors.
wow that‘s actually so interesting, it‘s a shame the kubaz didn‘t get as much spotlight as they and their story imo deserves. great video💜
Sometimes I feel like Metanerdz is force sensitive cause I swear I was wondering what the lore behind these guys were after rewatching ANH recently
I knew about the Kubaz from playing KOTOR II and am glad this neat looking and rare species is finally getting covered.
WOW! Because of the goggles, I thought the guy was wearing a breathing mask because he could not breathe the atmosphere. Many thanks for the fascinating lore.
Huh I had no clue they were an actual species, and not just other aliens in a mask, let alone essentially bipedal space shrews!
I want to see a show about the history of the species. It would be so cool.
Very interesting to finally learn something about this mysterious species and the guy we all know from the Lego games. A harsh beginning to their history, but it seemed so full of hope and nice things eventually. Then of course, the Empire and later the Vong had to fuck em up. Always gotta be those unfortunate stories.
I remember in the older starwars gold collection when you exit the cantina to go where you see the mini kits you collected, in which if they were enemy's in the show/ movies they would attack each other but if it was this guy they would all kill him then kill each other
I never knew much about this species. Very interesting race!!! They look like a cross between an anteater and a plague doctor.
This series is so awesome! The attention tou put into the detail and presentation really shows. Keep up the good work.
Your species videos are always a welcome dive into lore. Answering the question "what kind of species is that?"
I love the fact that this was played by John Wayne or so I think that’s what I remember. It made watching A New Hope so much better growing up

Did the you-zan-vong(not trying to spell it right cause I don’t know how) attack a lot of planets after Endor? It would’ve been cool that instead of Rey and the typical light dark conflict we got a near-galaxy wide war between the “vong” and many other species with the Jedi/sith conflict still present but forced to deal with a greater evil

I hope he was able to save his family, although it would seem that his catalog was lost so I'm guessing the outcome wasn't nearly so optimistic.

Nope, you can't. You can play as human, cyborg, and Zabrak as a starting F2P player. You can also unlock Twi'lek, Chiss, Mirialan, Miraluka, Rattaki, and Sith pure blood, if you sub at least for a month, possibly with some class related restrictions if you stop subbing, as well as Sith/Pub ones. Play the right character class to 50, though, and you can typically unlock the race to play on either side. And then there's Cathar, Togruta, and Nuatolan (Kit Fisto's race), which you have to buy to unlock. There are more species available amongst the various companions, you can get, and there is one Kubaz among them, Altuur zok Adon. However, he's from the first Galactic Season, and hasn't been "retired" yet, so you currently can't get him. Yeah, it makes no sense that you can get a character once they are retired, but not when they aren't. So sadly, you can't even make him a new character's companion of choice if you weren't playing back then. Kind of a shame, because he'd make a fitting compatriot for an Imperial Agent.
