For those who wonder what happened to Nien Nunb after Episode VI, he became the administrator of the mines of Kessel, dramatically increasing the producing of the mines by replacing the slaves by common workers capable of living underground. By 44 ABY, he was still administrating the mines and helped Ben Skywalker to find Sith Apprentice Vestara Khai

Nien Nunb’s laugh gives me so much joy

I really like how CIS-alliened species became one of the 'good guys' in the films

I've always been curious about the Sullustans

I love how there is this much info and many species and worlds in Star Wars

Two aspects I really love about Sullustan lore directly involves the friendship between Princess Leia and Nien Nunb. The first being of the Sullustan compassion for the survivors of Alderaan as many of them found refuge on the planet with Nien being a direct "diplomat" due to his friendship with the last surviving Alderaan Princess from the House of Organa. (Hope I'm stating that correctly.) The other aspect being that of Nien Nunb's contributions to the Alliance's success at the Battle of Endor. Not only was Nien co-pilot aboard the Death Star (2) killing-blow-delivering Millenium Falcon, but he was also assigned as pilot for Princess Leia's "Moving Target" mission; a mission that was primary done as to distract the Empire's notice of the intent of the rebels massing near Sullust. (That aspect, unknown to the rebels at the time, turning out to be a failure.) However, during their mission of distraction, the last three survivors of the original five-member team escaped an Imperial Star Destroyer aboard the commandeered shuttle, "Tydirium," Nien Nunb being the one to pilot the shuttle back to the rebel fleet.

That's a cool bit of lore!

Unless I’m mistaken, you haven’t covered the Ithorians. Would you please consider doing them next? They’re my favourite 😊

I’ve been more and more interested in the species of Star Wars. Going really in depth with it. Trying learn all I can about them. Your work is amazing!

I was so angry when Disney killed nien nunb. He was one of my favorite star wars aliens as a kid.

I wish there were channels on here that did this great a job of explaining the lore and history of existing terrestrial cultures. We have such a deep understanding of these fictional beings. Yet few of understand more than surface information about our global neighbors.

Thanks for finally covering them! My sister and I were disgusted by Nien Nunb, watching RotJ as kids, but now they’re one of my favourite SW species, thanks to Battlefront. Did you know, that a Sullustan like character appears in the ‘Doctor Slump’ anime’ by Akira Toriyama?

Great video! One of the lesser known/thought of alien races. Really enjoyed the deep dive on their home world.

Imagine that Sullust being a Map in Jedi Survivor those caves would be hard af to map 😵

Great video dude. I love learning detailed history about Star Wars and there's something really relaxing about your videos and I appreciate what you do man. May the Force be with you And if you take requests how about a Complete Life of R2D2 canon and ledgends!

For those wondering what ACTUALLY happened to Nien Nunb after Return of The Jedi: Nien Nunb would fly with the New Republic, eventually joining the resistance. Being highly venerated, he was a flight commander within the New Republic and Resistance. He helped to destroy Starkiller Base, even surviving the Battle of Crait. He was there at the Battle of Exegol, where he died on the Tantive IV (35 ABY).

Your videos are insanely in-depth!

I say this alot ...you do an awesome job ...I started building star wars models..then I started collecting figures . Now it's an everyday thing and my main hobby .I've managed to stay sober for 4 years while a lot of people around me lost to there addictions . Star wars takes my mind to a happy place on them off days and there's nothing I'd rather do than open figures and learn about different species,planets,ships and all the other things you cover . Thanks. Not trying to be a dck rider . Just saying you do an awesome job

I don't care for the Sullustans, but I LOVE Sullust so much ever since experiencing it in Star Wars Battlefront 2016. It was my favorite map. God I miss that game.

For more information on Sullust, I recommend the book Twilight Company. In that story, the rebellion on Sullust was almost wiped out prior to 3 BBY, but was revitalized by the arrival of a rebel alliance mobile infantry division who became stranded on the planet.

That's a oversight quite common in Star Wars, tons of creatures but virtually ZERO attempts to try and figure out or flesh out their relationships to each other. Aside from a few predator to prey relations, not much is said about ecological balances. Like what do the cave grub-like creatures of sullust eat? What eats the grubs? How are mineral eating creatures able to get all their nutrients from eating rocks? How does their digestive system handle that? Do they supplement their diet with other things? Who knows, it's questions that Star Wars in general (even among the most nerdy of fans) isn't interested in answering.

@@robertnichols2283 To be fair Star Wars as a franchise has never been interested in the technical or mechanical details of its setting, George Lucas says so as much. Much of the detailing we do see about how things function from a technical or mechanical or the rare ecological perspective is because of writers caring about that kind of stuff and with nerdy fans like Metanerdz, Ekhartsladder, Geetsly among others eating that stuff up and presenting it to other fans who are interested in such. Star Wars has always been about its people, its characters, its social commentary, it dynamics, and ofcourse its deeper themes *NOT how many dewbacks can you fit on a particular class of freighter.* I guess what I'm saying is that it's not so much about the *"technobable"* as it is about exploitation of people's reactions to such things like the weird tech or phenomenon around them (i.e. mainly the Force) and what drives them. (what do they truly want?) The heart of SciFi has never been about explaining the fantastical technology but how do people use it? what for? And how that shapes their social system(s)?

On what planet did the human-like species evolve? Are they all originally from the same planet, or is there more than one species that evolved look like earth humans?

I’m gonna say this world got its surface blasted during the downfall of the Rakatan Empire long long ago pushing life underground while the up top was turned into a volcanic hell scape from the bombardment

I sit in pylons saloon and listen to you, the alien anthropologists and drink some sullustan wine

someone threw a couple pancakes on their face and said how about an alien like this

So what I’m getting is… seismically, and geologically, Sullust is the equivalent of Io in the Jupiter system, lol. But with life forms that have adapted.

Hehehe, the ALV. As a Mexican, that word has a whoke different meaning. Very interesting nonetheless

My buddy Josh used to call Sullustans "Space Mexicans..."

I remember when I first heard Nien say something in my mother tongue, (Kikuyu, from Central Kenya) I choked on my own saliva.

so the sullustan is the star wars space dwarfs

They're hard working people.

The fact that they went out of their way to kill him is just.. Stupid. Like, that's almost as dumb as killing R2-D2 and C3P0. In fact, dare I say it might even be MORE dumb.

I thought the lore was Sullustans were originally humans who had diverged due to living in the caves of Sullust for thousands of years.

It should be stated that most of this info told in the video, is (Expanded Universe), not Canon. It'd help many understanding the difference.
