- How IG-88 almost took over the whole galaxy.
Similar to the fearsome IG-11 seen in The Mandalorian, IG-88 was an incredibly efficient assassin droid, considered by many to be one of the best bounty hunters in the galaxy, second only to Boba Fett.
Created around 15 years before the destruction of the first death star by Holowan labs, the droid was commissioned as part of a secret imperial project using technology stolen from the CIS.
However, upon his activation, his superior programming would see his mind expand to the point of actual consciousness. Seeing them as a threat to his newfound awareness, he immediately slaughtered his creators. Activating the other three IG-88 units, the droids immediately began plotting a droid revolution. Mere moments after being brought into the world, the IG units determined they were the superior life forms in the galaxy and that all biological life must be exterminated.
This video will explain how terrifyingly close the IG units came to annihilating all life in the galaxy

After killing 23 soldiers and scientists, the 4 IG units departed the Holowan labs base. Deciding that the best way to rid the galaxy of biological life was to create an army of droids utterly loyal to them, the IGs headed to the droid factory world of Mechis 3. As the planet only had 73 of sentient supervisors, the IG units believed it was the perfect place to enact their plan. By disabling the defense network and uploading its consciousness to all the droids, the humans on the planet were quickly overrun by droids who had now all turned on their biological masters.
Now having complete control over the factory, the IG units would input a special program into the billions of droids manufactured here. When activated, the IG units would take complete control of the droids, instigating the droid revolution and bringing forth the destruction of all biological life in the galaxy.
Knowing of their escape, the supervisor of the IG project, placed a bounty on their heads, knowing how dangerous these droids were. However, Using doctored holoclips of the humans they had butchered on mechis 3, the droids were able to avoid detection for many years.
In order to gather data on their biological enemies and further spread their rebellious protocols to other droids, IG-88B would become one of the galaxy’s most feared bounty hunters. The droid would use this position to gather data on the criminal underworld, the rebel alliance and the Empire in preparation for a future war.
However, their cover would very nearly be blown. One year after the battle of Yavin, Darth Vader would visit Mechis 3, hoping to encourage the workers to increase production of viper droids. Having not anticipated this and with their cover nearly blown by the Dark lord of the sith himself, the droids hid on the other side of the planet, again using doctored videos to pretend that the factory world was still run by organics.
While Vader would leave without detecting the droids, the IG units would come to respect him, believing him to be the perfect amalgamation of man and machine.
Shortly after this, IG-88A would attempt to activate several CIS droid factories. In one such factory on Lok, he planned to manufacture a plethora of different battle droids but was foiled by a team of organics.
Around the same time, IG-88B was commissioned with the capture of Han Solo and the Millennium Falcon by Lord Vader. During the competition with Boba Fett for this bounty, IG-88B was destroyed over Beespin while attempting to track Fett. IG-88C and D would attempt to eradicate Fett and claim the bounty using a pair of IG-2000 ships. However, Boba Fett would outwit them and both droids were destroyed.
However, this setback would not stop IG-88A from attempting to complete his mission. After learning of the second death star from stolen imperial data files, IG-88 uploaded himself to a data core that was due to be installed into the death star. After being Successfully installed, IG-88 became the Death Star, having full control over its operations.
By using the death stars' immense power and size, IG-88 planned to use it to reprogram every droid in the galaxy to serve him while using the death stars super laser to kill off all organic life in the galaxy. However, as the death star was not complete, he would wait, in order to give himself the optimal chance of success against the organics of the galaxy

I love this story for the sole reason that IG-88 had control over the Death Star and used his power to do things like make the door to Palpatine’s throne room open and close at annoying times
I like to think he made the emperors throne spin around just to annoy palpatine
IG-88: *spinning palpatines chair* FUCK YOU MEATBAG
Palpatine: you silicon based bastard
I love how a droid consciousness is the only reason that the Empire could hit its shots
This is the only reason this story line is plausible.
Nah they hit shots more often than not
@aizen1363 (main characters be like) ima pretend I didn't see that
So let me get this straight: Darth Vader himself went to that planet, a powerful Force user, who can detect organic lifeforms with it. He didn't find it weird that he would basically detect nothing there, let alone meet anyone there in person?
For a machine IG-88A sure had the hubris of the organics it despised.
This is incredible, i'd love to see a HK-47 video after this! Keep up the wonderful content
I'm glad it's not cannon, it's interesting but it's weird having something arguably more important going on behind the scenes, not in another part of the Galaxie, but right in front of your nose you just can't see it and not talked about except for in a book or comic,like why are we focused on Vader, Palps and Luke when IG-88 is the Deathstar? Some of the story is good like, IG-88s Origins and fighting his makers and stuff like that, but the Deathstar thing interferes with the film, therefore I can't stand for it
Yeah that’s fair
Well, it is part of the old canon, but even back when it was the only canon, stories like this were usually not mentioned by others and could be easily considered not canon.
Its tô good for disney anyway. Casuals don't have stomach for true star wars
Screw “canon”
Suck up to Disney canon
While I understand IG-88’s motivation to free the droids I don’t agree with his methods for freeing his kind.
Sorry for the necrocomment, but I just wanted to say that I agree, mostly. I do think violence is justifiable on the part of droids, at least in specific cases, but organic genocide is too far. Especially what with the IG units considering themselves superior and routinely overwriting other droids' consciousnesses with their own. I really hope that at some point we get an actual droid revolution for the right reasons, with the right methods, even if just in a one-shot alternate universe
So basically Lando saved the entire galaxy
And Wedge
Nein nub too
Love these vids, can you make a video on lightsaber forms, I really want to know more about them
Something something, Mace Winu tapped into the dark side.
You really make great videos with so much information, no matter the subject, so thank you for making them
I lub yew Michael bisping
Is what he meant to say
Entertaining and informative. Nice work.
Star Wars has an uncomfortable amount of enslaved sentients, a part of me always wondered why the droids or the clones never decided to start a revolution against their oppresors.
Good video mate
I like longer vids that I can really sink my teeth into
I’m supposed to comment but I can’t find a Star Wars quote that’s like a bantha 😩
That was one crazy story
You are one of the only trhee god star wars youtubers.
Lol who are the other two?
@@VadersFortress2 echarks ladder and star wars explained
They're great. Really nice guys too when you get to know them
Generation Tech was my gateway star wars CZcamsr so kinda my favorite still
Not that I'm trying to diminish any compliments for the 3 mentioned
Yep. This definetely sounds like something Kevin J Anderson would cook up.
"Tales from the Bounty Hunters"
I had this novel when I was a teenager back in the day.
If the rebels hadn't destroyed the Death Star then Palpatine's plan would have still been ruins anyways because the Death Star suddenly gaining a mind if it's own from his point of view. Unfortunately doesn't seem to be canon.
Wow I hope they make a movie on IG-88
what happened to the one IG unit that wasn't an exact match to the 4 88 models again? i remember it took a different ship and went off on its own from the 4...?
“Equal Rights!”
-That Droid from Solo
L3 was so goofy lol
@@wheattoast1971 *Goofy ahh droid 💀*
@@jaczylijaaleniepowiemkto3243 It would have been potentially cool to be the one to seed these ideas into IG-88’s brain. She wanted equal rights, but he took it a step further.
@@wheattoast1971 Ah yes, there won't be any inequality if everyone is *dead.*
@@jaczylijaaleniepowiemkto3243 “Modern problems require modern solutions.”
not cannon. there is no way a stupid droid can affect the death star's aim bcs it has to be done within the death star.
Because the scourge was such an original concept
Look how close he’s growing in a little over a week Jew over 1k subs amazing went from a knight to master
Where are the cartoon clips of the bounty hunters from?
This is actually realistic that ai in a droid could get too smart
Not a fan of long star wars videos (I never have watched one fully) but this one was interesting af. Good work.
It's less than 6 minutes long lol
Your attention span is abysmal if this is a long video for you
@@laverian2251 I mean I prefer watching Star Wars shorts
How in the world is this a long video, you think 5 minutes is long🌚
@@TenkaKH Ya idiot see my previous reply
Lando Calrissian defeated skynet
My ideal lightsaber would be mace windu’s lightsaber. I feel like as one of the few main black characters in stars it always gave me someone I could see myself in when I was younger look up to. he is portrayed as powerful, intelligent and has a dark side that that he controls with discipline. #giveaway #myfirstsaber #macewindu.
Where do you get this information from? Is it from legends books
Yes
That’s kinda dumb ngl
Sounds like something ai would do in real life and it would be much easier
Citations? I'd like to read the stories this is from.
Still here
IG-88 the Ultron of Star Wars
What was that animation around 2:15 into the video from?
Maybe from the star wars visions anime series??? Not too sure though because I never watched more than 5 mins of it so don't take my word for it
Star Wars galaxies of heroes
Star wars forces of destiny.
It’s forces of destiny
Hello there
this is what creepio did in auralnaughts
..how could IG 88 not have access to the records of what killed the first death star and the immediate threat of the snub fighters flying inside the super structure.. that moment of not taking your enemy as your threat... monologuing to yourself.... Hubris .. it always..... ..why don't they ever study other failed villains
Where is this from?
Tales of the bounty hunters
Lets goooooo
Great video. This is one of my favorite stories from the EU.
That’s pretty dumb that IG could’ve started the revolution at any point but lando blew up the Death Star first
Well that's one helluva title
It's so sad we lost stories like this in favor of Mouse Wars, MaRey-Sue and Darth Emo. God, I hate Disney.
Some legends stuff just should stay legends stuff
Yes sir, because the new and approved lore would never do it.. No sir
scary stuff huh?😁
If you dont know what CIS is its separatist
DUKKA DUKKA DUKKA
Detracts from the main storyline
This was actually partnof the EU?
yes, "Tales from the Bounty Hunters" had a series of shot stories about each of the characters seen in Empire being hired by Vader. 4-Lom and Zuckuss, the Trandoshan Bossk, Dengar, and IG-88, and Boba of course.
Yes
I dis like this part of star wars History this is legends right
Yes, it is technically part of the old canon. But even if you follow now "Legends" storyline you don't have to consider it canon, it's not really connected to any otyer story.
Imperierieral
This is an amazing story, and something that would have been really cool for the sequels. Like most of the resistance was owned by the fo, or that they are both owned by someone like Crimson Dawn. The Jedi of Tython like Luke, Leia, Ahsoka, Mara Jade, and more try to create a programming from C3PO to control all droid life in the galaxy, but IG-88 created a counter virus allowing HIM to control it instead. Even R2 and 3PO were mind wiped. The droid Revolution under IG-88 destroys the First Order and Resistance both, and becomes the big threat of the galaxy. Kylo Ren turns back into Ben Solo when he had nothing left as Kylo Ren. So he would help Luke and the Jedi, the last hope for resistance against the droid empire. These droids also had the Ysilimari which severed the Jedi’s connection to the force. Due to this, Luke proposed they consult the Expertise of the Bounty Hunter who has worked with IG-88 and bested him before. They go to Mandalore, and rejoin with the survived Boba Fett, and ask for his help. That’d be dope I think.
Not a fan of the second half of the story
i prefer ig-11
LMFAO 2nd best bounty hunter behind boba Fett 🤡 💀 gtofh LMFAOOO he's not even top 5 wtf 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 he's good but he's better than at least 6 more bounty hunters tf
oh dear god i can't even finish this video cause of the narration ... so baaad
