Yuuzhan Vong

Seriously I think the Yuuzhan Vong would make for a very interesting horror movie. And, as far as I know, I don't think they've ever been adapted into anything outside of the books before.

Do we think, other than species like the Yuuzhan Vong, that there could be other outside empires/civilizations that could be brought into Canon and replace the Vong?

Let me know below

Oftentimes, when I hear discussions about possible antagonists for Star Wars after the events of The Rise of Skywalker, the same four villainous factions tend to get tossed around. Without fail, someone will always mention them. They are:

1. Some iteration of the Galactic Empire.

2. The Grysk Hegemony

3. Abeloth

4. The Yuuzhan Vong

The first three of these, I do not have a serious problem with. Are they the most creative? Perhaps they are not, but I do not hate them by any means. I think a good story could be written using them. But the Yuuzhan Vong? Not so much.

You might be wondering what my problem with them is, and that is understandable. “How are they really that much different from the Grysk?”, you might ask. Well, to put it simply, the Yuuzhan Vong are one-dimensional edgelords. Just look at the guy in the image. There is not a single part of his body that is not covered in dangerous and impractical edges and spikes. But of course, the real “edginess” of the Vong is in their personalities. When a species literally has a religion dedicated to pain, you know they are just trying way too hard to seem “hardcore”.

But is all of this “edginess” an inherently bad thing? In the context of Star Wars, yes. Yes it is. Back in the 1970s when George Lucas first created Star Wars, he wanted to create an accessible movie that people of all ages and backgrounds could enjoy. He also gave the franchise an idealistic element, where even a farm boy from Tatooine can make a difference in the wider galaxy. The Yuuzhan Vong are essentially trying to be the antithesis of everything George Lucas wanted Star Wars to be. An entire species of violent, pain-worshipping nihilists is not accessible, idealistic, or even remotely respectful to what Star Wars is. They don’t even work on an aesthetic level, with all the spikes, organic technology, and force-deadness.

The Vong fit into Star Wars about as much as The Batman Who Laughs or Sonic.EXE would. So when I see people clamoring for a Vong Invasion storyline in Canon, I cannot help but be disappointed in the state of the fan base. The only reason I can think of as for why some people want them back is a mixture of ignorance about what they actually are, and extreme disenfranchisement with the Sequel Trilogy.

Do we think there are other outside species besides the Yuuzhan Vong that could be lurking in the shadows? Or a species that rivals the Yuuzhan Vong? Let me know what you think below

Before I get into my post, I know that the Yuuzhan-Vong are not canon, but nonetheless, it’s an interesting question (in my pov).

So, the Yuuzhan-Vong were arguably one of the most formidable forces in galactic history, wreaking havoc and causing the deaths of over 300 trillion people. The Vong also invaded at a very convenient time. If they had invaded during the Clone Wars era or the Galactic Empire’s height (especially with Thrawn), they wouldn’t have stood a chance. Thrawn’s tactical mind and the sheer order and composure of the Galactic Empire (and several mega-weapons) made for a much more formidable force than the New Republic.

What makes this all even more interesting to me is that Palpatine was already aware of the Yuuzhan-Vong during his tenure as emperor, and Thrawn was also very much aware of them as well (potentially even encountering them). Thrawn not only joined the Empire to protect is peoples but to likely protect the galaxy from these “Far-Outsiders.” Palpatine being aware of the Vong adds a whole new perspective to this. I don’t think Palpatine feared the Vong, per se, but he definitely would’ve been cautious. It makes me wonder if the rapid militarization of the Republic/Empire and Thrawn’s recruitment had another reason in Palpatine’s mind: to stop a potential Yuuzahn-Vong invasion.

Now, this is my first post in this wiki, and in the eyes of many Star Wars nerds, I may be stupid. So, if this is a stupid question, please tell me so lol.

The Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the Galaxy was a turning point in the post-ROTJ Legends timeline that shifted the status quo of the Galaxy. So what if the invasion never happended? How would the Legends timeline have changed if the Yuuzhan Vong never invaded the Star Wars Galaxy? What would've happended to the New Republic, New Jedi Order, and Imperial Remnant?

Does anyone else want a movie with these guys?

So I'm sitting here at work bored and thought of a question too ask here so my boss thinks I'm working through my phone, so here's the question.

Does anyone think that it might be possible that sometime during the Ashoka series that we will get the answers to, what Ahsoka was doing after the world between worlds until we see her in the mandalorian, and if Ezra and Grand Admiral Thrawn might show up and if so will we get answers to where and what they were doing?

The Vong worshiped a hierarchy of deities. Gods that demanded sacrifices of constant pain of all, and quadrillions of deaths of nonbelievers. It is easy to discount these beliefs as ludicrous ravings of masochistic zealots. In fact I call them Vong not only because it is shorter, but also because it is an insult to their religion. To omit the Yuzzhan from Yuzzhan Vong is to imply that the gods have abandoned them or simply never even existed. But what if there were gods. And what if they were gods we’ve already met?

There have been god like beings in Star Wars such as the celestials, the bedlam spirits, or more recognizably the ones. According to Star Wars history and myth, the celestials were one of the first and most advanced races in the galaxy. Some said they ruled kindly, others said they conquered cruelly. But suddenly they vanished: most say, becoming one with the force, or perhaps becoming the force itself. But not all celestials were content to be the force. Three came back in the form of the ones: the father son and daughter. From a certain point of view this could have been a necessity for balance. But they were not the only celestials dissatisfied with the status quo. This next part is from old marvel comics and theories: One celestial named Wotzac, declared a demon by some, stayed behind and attempted to make new celestials from himself. He made at least 4 spirits, possibly more, but each one was made from one of his shortcomings such as vanity and pride. The demon tried to destroy them, only to be tricked and imprisoned, and his offspring went off to do what they wanted, creating new offspring and hideous monstrosities that plagued the galaxy.

According to the Vong religion Yun Yuzzhan the creator god tore off pieces of himself to create the universe. This sounds similar to the Wotzak. I can’t remember specifics, but the main gods he made included gods of war, deception, and shame. This sounds somewhat similar to the spirits created by the demon who are later theorized to have become the bedlam spirits.

What if the demon spent some time at the Vong galaxy. In the main galaxy, the celestials had become hated and feared by many races they had oppressed. Perhaps most of the celestials ascended into the force as both repentance and retreat. However the demon, refusing to accept defeat, fled to a new galaxy to become worshiped there. Of course with no one to balance or rein him in but pieces of himself, the galaxy descended into the chaos of the silentium abominor war. In an attempt to restore order and dominion, the demon and his offspring: now under the guise of Yun Yuzzhan and the other Yuns influenced the Vong to become warlike and develop biotech weapons to conquer their galaxy. The Vong savagery eventually drew the attention of the Ones: celestials who had returned to the main galaxy to maintain balance. With the help of Yuzzhan Tar the sentient homeworld of the Vong, they defeated the demon and stripped the Vong of their connection to the force, leaving them with only the rudementary wavelength required to stay alive. Thinking the trouble over, the Ones returned to the galaxy, believing that (free from the demons influence,) Vong would eventually return to their peaceful state. After Anakin refused his duty and got the ones killed, no one was around the galaxy to protect it from the Vong when they invaded. Perhaps though, the daughter orchestrated the creation of zonoma secot as a failsafe to keep the Vong from winning completely. While the son, left some bioweapon ideas with the Vong so they could cause massive destruction.

As for what happened Wotzak and his bedlam spirit offspring: that is a story for another day.
