I have a fan theory that, the uniform weather and ecology that is present on so many planet in the Star Wars galaxy, and the fact that few planets, moons, or asteroids in canon have non-standard gravity and the fact that so many planets, moons, and asteroids have atmospheres leads me to believe that many of these planets, moons, and asteroids were partially (or poorly) terraformed.

The wyyyschokk giant spider is even worse than it sounds. It's noted as being able to lay up to a thousand eggs a year. Just one of these Shelobs is bad enough, but that egg-laying rate suggests two equally terrifying things. First, a thousand young a year suggests their population starting with a single egg-layer would number in the _billions_ within just a few generations if left undisturbed. That's not quite up to Tyranid or Zerg levels of swarm reproduction, but it's definitely up there. That's not the worst of it, though. No: the worst part is that generating massive batch-orders of young like that is the usual evolutionary response against a predator the prey can't outfight or avoid, and instead has to survive the predator by attrition. Since Kashyyyk _isn't_ completely overrun with swarms of car-sized giant spiders, there must be something keeping their numbers in check. That is, as fearsome and terrifying as the wyyyschokk spiders are, _there's something even nastier out there_ in those towering forests.

I knew general idea already but looked up some more exact numbers and yeah real spiders can also do up to around a thousand in several species, but only 1%-10% survive, with part of that being them eating each other, so I would never expect billions in a few gens.

Also, in Legends, the Rakatan Star Map corrupted the Force with the Dark Side, and that's why many of the fauna in the shadow lands are so deadly.

I think you forgot to mention that Wookie's claws are culturally tools, not weapons (though the only source I have for this is Kotor). The Claws are essential to Wookies' ability to climb the trees, for safety, navigation. To use the Claws as weapons makes them like an animal. In a way, Wookie's use of their claws for primarily navigation, their ability to climb, and the rare venturing to the forest florr remind me of sloths. Wookie's are giant space sloths

Not only does Earth have a tilt , it also has an elliptical orbit .

The Wookiees kinda seem like they were a species engineered by the Rakata for the purpose of being servant farmers on Kashyyyk. They’re view of themselves as tenants of the planet, not masters, the fact that they mature quickly but live very long, and they’re intimate connection with nature gives them very favorable traits as a slave farmer species. Of course, their strength and arm-ripping tendencies might be less favorable traits to an empire like the Rakata.

Cool video, what episodes of clone wars or Bad Batch shows more of Kashyyk?

No wonder why the bowcaster is so powerful. It has to be to survive Kashyyyk.

you better not call it that the whole time

Kashyyyk spent 25 years in constant war and had seen plenty of action prior to the Clone Wars, and yet roughly 2/3 of the natural environment remained untouched and unconquered, even by the natives. Even in the time of the First Order, Kashyyyk was still wild and untamed. It's unlikely that anyone besides the Wookies could ever permanently occupy the planet.

Welcome to the jungle! We've got fun and games. I have been in Earth's only temperate rainforest on the Olympic Peninsula of North America, USA, Washington State. It is located on a large peninsula and small mountain range between the Pacific ocean and the West coast of America near the boarder of the USA and Canada. I wouldn't say that it felt dark or terrifying, but more like a vast, living cave. Everything was alive. Every surface was alive and the insect life was everywhere. There was plenty of slugs, too, including a species that was poisonous for animals to eat that was bright yellow and could grow to the size of a banana. That forest didn't have much in the way of large predators in to other than bears. I think there might be some wolves that have been reintroduced to it now to help control the deer population. With it being temperate, the insects don't get as large and venomous as tropical rainforests, same for reptiles and amphibians, but there was a species of venomous snake present to look out for. It was dark, but then again, I have pretty good eyesight in darker areas, so that didn't bother me.

Kashyyyk is very reminiscent of the forest planet of the "thinking forests" in Alan Dean Foster's Scifi novel _Midworld_ (1975), with a layered rainforest dominated by mile-high "home trees", with none of the sentient inhabitants of the mid-layers (as the canopy held its own share of flying predators) venturing down to the actual ground surface shrouded in eternal darkness if they could help it. Even Midworld's oceans were covered in floating vgetation. There are several plot plot parallels between James Cameron's _Avatar_ movies about the world of Pandora (though the story itself and the characters are completely different), that I've been wondering of Cameron ever read Foster's novel and subconsciously took ideas from it or if it's just one of those obvious "story writes itself" parallels in a story about an Earth corporation that tries to exploit a global rainforest on an alien planet.

I was expecting to see clips from the infamous ‘Christmas Special’.

A Type II civilization could likely move and arrange planets. Star Wars is a Type III civilization, capable of moving and placing _black holes._

Lmfao, my internet goes down, the thumbnail is loading when i read the title of the video. I'm literally prepared myself to witness the appearance of the deadliest planet in the whole galaxy. And then boom! It's just f*ckin' Kashyyyk.

Maybe the abundance of life makes and metal incorporated into the plant life, makes sensors less effective.

Alan, you really are a city boy, aren't ya? The rainforest is a place of life and energy and peace. I live in the Tasmanian rainforest, which is nearly untouched by man. It is a wild and dynamic place that just cries out to be explored. And so long as you respect the space and everything living in it, it shouldn't be a scary place at all.

I’d live there. Mid level, close to the Shadowlands

I think the wroshyr trees were inspired by a combination of redwoods and mangroves

The galaxy often sees Wookiees as primitive barbarians, because they don't rely on technology too much, or their language sounds more like the vocalizations of animals. But Wookiees are actually a force to be reckoned with. They're way smarter than what most people would give them credit for, they're expert survivalists , phyically strong, and have a ways of thinking outside the box. They need to be all that to survive on Kashyyyk. And although it seems that the first thing every dark power does after taking control of the galaxy is invading Kashyyyk and enslaving the Wookiees, they keep coming back. While Wookiees prefer using natural ressources instead of artificially created methods (such as using tamed animals as mounts instead of machines), they are capable of creating advanced tech, which often deviates from what you'd usually see around the galaxy. That catamaran ornithopter you see at 0:46 , for example (an Oevvaor Jet Catamaran), or the Raddaugh Gnasp Fluttercraft (they seem to like ornithopters, I guess because they mimick nature).

yeah, but you should check their Life Day parties

this plant reminds of catachan in warhammer 40K

It's funny that in Star Wars (Star Trek does it too, am I allowed to talk about them?), that all planets have a monoecosystem. They are entirely a forest, desert, snow or molten rock planet. That planet that Anakin and Obi Wan fought on, I can't see how you would even be able to breath.
