    I love the freaky shit in Legends. I am so glad Lucasfilm decided to have freaky shit in Canon as well. Speaking of which... You should really do a video on freaky shit in Canon. Good examples that come to mind are the Ovanis creature and Ravna.

    While I like them, I have the same complaints with them that I have with most other assimilators in sci fi. They’re a Grey Goo scenario with no real weaknesses that is somehow contained. I mean they’re super smart, all knowing, able to use technology, and can consume entire planets reproducing themselves. Their one weakness is fire which I’m pretty sure is a common weakness for organics. I’d like to see something about how they’re extremely susceptible to the force or their hive mind literally can’t grow too big or else it loses track of itself and begins to attack its own body. Lovecraft used the idea that attempts to resist are in the end futile against the old ones once they awake from their slumber. This one seems like it should’ve already destroyed the galaxy. I like their concept but they feel like they’re made of unobtainium.

    Since this being comes from the tabletop rpg, I will use that as my source. If you go mechanically, it is dangerous (in large numbers) but not insurmountable. It has some damage reduction (if your familiar with 3.5 d&d stats, it's DR 5. Until its shield is overcome, a droideka has equivalent to 20.) It has higher than normal health, but not loads like say a Rancor. It can infect organics, but that takes hours. If you ignore infection (such as if it fought droids), its damage is pathetic (best attack does 1d6+4, Stormtrooper blaster does 3d8. Though it has decent chance to hit). It has Force Sensitivity, but no actual powers. Meaning it could roll for minor feats like sensing and minor telekinesis, but can never attack with it or boost itself. Now in a large scale engagement (not what the game is meant for), it would be a big threat to infantry but not so much to powerful characters or armoured vehicles. It would probably be hopeless vs the droid army. In space battles it has the advantage of being a hive mind (perfect coordination with each other) but the huge drawback of having no skill points in any piloting or operate naval weapons (meaning it can try, but it rolls with no bonuses. Comparatively I think TIE pilots are at like +8, but that's a tougher rule to find.). Also by stats, its intelligence is just human average.

I mean Star Wars as a galaxy is better at it's worst then Warhammer is at it's best when it comes to daily life of civilians and people in general. The only reason the warp has such an effect in 40k is because everyone is pretty much slaves or worked to death or dying or just living absolute miserable lives, in other words, negative emotions, without those emotions well everything in the warp goes poof and vanishes. Life isn't like that in the Star Wars universe even at the worst of times in galactic history everyone was happy then the best of times in warhammer.

    You could say it is unethical to allow it continued existence seeing as the only thing it wants to do is eat you and mess with your mind while doing so. It doesn't matter whether or not it is technically a living being as it is just not compatible with the wants and desires of literally every other living thing the galaxy.

Really like the Flood accept the Mnggal Mnggal never stated they want to conquer and absorb the very stars into their almost corporeal being. The Mnggal Mnggal is most likely a sentient life form from a different dimension that's been banished by its own kind as a torture to never being able to relate to anything ever again. Except the Mnggal Mnggal saw that after eons of just moaning and groaning about regrets it finally thought: *Wait !? I can own this bitch. Imma spread like flu season in the summer on these Solid Lifeforms* And since then whoever comes into contact with a Mnggal Mnggal is basically screwed because it believes it has the power and right to do whatever it pleases and in this case as an inter-dimensional being it awkwardly enjoys the occasional sentient rotting puppet act, collecting ancient lore, and dark humor 😥

That opening scene in the film is brilliant, as the "normal" people are already acting like zombies. Interesting video, not too heavy for late night KZread relaxation, given its about evil space zombies. In other words, good job Eck (and Zack for editing the video).

Additionally, the Flood is microscopic and airborne. It's no wonder it was able to destroy many galaxies (The Flood are the corrupted Precursors which colonized multiple galaxies). It took the destruction of all sentient life to starve the Flood.

    Reminds me of the terrifying Rakghoul plague, only more mysterious. One of the main appeals Legends is that most of it *isn't* targeted towards kids. I know you'll get to this in the finale of the Vong sub-series. Won't stop me from going through the motions though. Anyways: Can you breakdown what is by far the largest space battle in the entire franchise? *The* *Battle* *of* *Yuuzhan'tar!* I have made this request: one-hundred-twenty-nine times.

    I feel like the unsc could beat some serious alliance ass in space, but would get owned pretty bad on the ground.

    Welp, Alliance ships seem to have better shields and seem to have a slight edge when it comes with the versatility of their guns, a lot of them firing plasma, and the UNSC did suffer from the Covenant's heavy use of plasma But there's no way to tell how good the Alliance's shields would fair against UNSC MAC guns remember, Reapers don't fire lasers, they fire accelerated high-speed high-temerature high-density matter altough MACs are nowhere near as strong, the principle is the same. Alliance fighters are superior to anything in the UNSC arsenal, just as UNSC troops would stomp anything the Alliance might throw at them ... would be a pretty close matchup but consider this : Without access to the Mass Relays, The Alliance would get thoroughly FUCKED, because Slipspace is much better than Element Zero so, with prolonged conflict, over more and more battles, UNSC would figure out that if they use Hit&Run tactics they could slowly cripple the Alliance's fleet

    @@mihailazar2487 I didn't think the alliance fired plasma, is that from andromeda? In the first 3 games pretty much all their ship weapons seemed to be mass driver tech. I agree that without the relays they're going to be handicapped. There is a pretty significant size discrepancy between the two factions. The Pillar of Autumn from the first game, for instance, was an outdated cruiser design. It was well over a kilometer long. The Dreadnought class ships of the alliance were barely that big. The alliance also only has 6 Dreadnoughts. I just dont think they could muster a large enough force to really compete with the resources of the unsc in a meaningful way in space. If it were a fleet battle between numerically similar forces they'd definitely be a lot closer though. But I think the Infinity by itself would would give a task force if alliance ships hell.
