It is terrifying. Sith beasts, unactivated droids, the Katarn. The shadowlands are ridiculous.
And donât forget Mandalorians
unactivated droids dont sound bad.
@@Redneckkratos Challenging themselves is all the Mandalorians are about!
It's like Australia on steroids
Don't forget the insane Wookies
I remember in end of Season 6 of Star Wars The Clone Wars. Yoda was having a vision of a version of Dooku who never turned to the dark side. He mentioned Yoda once slew a tarantatek in Kashyyyk which heavily implied that Yoda actually explored the Shadowlands himself. Which in part, would explain his friendship with the Wookiees. He has even more in common with Jolee Bindo than I thought.
this also explains the mystery of him living on dagobah. the forest/swamp is familiar surroundings, and most of the creatures to him are from a petting zoo.
Jolee is still more badass
â@Kaze's Corner I don't think Dagobah is anything close to the shadowlands in terms of danger. Sure it's a dark side planet but the Shadow lands are so dangerous because of the Rakatan and their darkside experiments. It's impossible to know what evil exactly resides down there, dangerous enough to not only scare the entirety of the Wookie species, not only enough to get them to live thousands of feet above ground level, but to do so for not just generations but for thousands of years.
It amazes me how deep and well written the lore of the SW universe is. Even more amazing, is how Disney (for the most part, there are some exceptions) ignores that awesome lore and just churns out utter garbage.
Honestly, I always wanted to see an Apocalypse Now version of Star Wars on Kashyyyk
Everyone gets everything he wants. I wanted a mission, and for my sins, they gave me one.
Either in the clone wars or as a stormtrooper of the empire
We could also get pretty Blair Witch Project down there if we wanted to. This environment has a lot of good options
Have you heard of Haruun Kal?
@@confoundedmango exactly!
I would absolutely Love a series on Bindo, the eclectic Jedi. He's like Qui-Gon gone feral.
Ben-Ken âOhNoâbi. Thatâs a great name bro đ love it though lol. Peace âđŒand may the force be with you, alwaysâŠ
Qui Gon getcha vs Obama Bin Hidin
Looking forward to seeing more of kashyyyk in bad batch series
Me too. Do you have a dog?
Just imagining a remaster of Republic Commando that goes into the empire days and having to go into the depths of the forest to take something from that forge.
Wasn't imperial commando planned at one point?
And finding sev
@@markacostajr.1584 There was definitely a sequel in the works that was scrapped before it got off, similar to Battlefront 3 but we at least have some form of gameplay shown for that.
You mean remake. A remaster would be exactly the same as Republic Commando but with better graphics and stuff like that.
Vitiate: I'm hungry.
(Sees Kashyyyk)
Vitiate: Nah, too sour.
Nihlus: Huuuungrryyyy.
*Sees Kashyyk in the distance*
Nihlus: Not that hungry.
@@kaimagnus5760
Lehon: And that's how I dodged two superlaser blasts.
The Asteroid Field (formerly known as Alderaan): Go jump in a black hole.
Darth Jar Jar: *Welcome to meesaâs bombad Minecraft Server!*
lmao
Wonder how Galactus would view Kashyyyk......
Me *feels good after defeating a spider on Kashyyk in Fallen Order*

@@michaelandreipalon359 đđ
Realises the vines are moving towards him
the fact jolee survived for decades, in the deathtrap of the shadowlands makes him an Omega CHAD.
one of the most memorable parts of KOTOR for me, the atmosphere was really heavy in those areas.
That goddamned monkey never shuts up, thatâs the scariest part đč
Thatâs where I first encountered the shadowlands đ
Really drives home what a badass Jolee truly was. Probably was stronger than Yoda. He lived an entire decade alone in the shadowlands.
Exploring the shadowlands in KOTOR made me never want to go there after lmao having to go up and down trees and navigate over giant roots
If you are a old crazy Jedi coot, you can live there with no issues.
Or a Jedi in general, provided you avoid the Terrenetek. (Probably spelt wrong, but oh well)
@@cjhott7237
Yeah. It's spelled Terentatek
i have been wanting to see more of Kashyyyk on the big screen a whole lot since we only got a bit of it in revenge of the sith it just would be cool to see the great places there are there as well as the bad places
I felt that the bit in ROTS didn't do it justice.
So are their mountains on kashyyyk or just level forest ? Also if their are oceans what lives in them
My first exposure to the depths of Kashyyyk was the description of the levels in the AC Crispin novel _The Hutt Gambit._
5:50 âin the word of ChewbaccaâŠâ before i hear anything else, all i can think of is âWUUAHAHHHAAAAAâ
đđđđ
More terrifying than 99% of SW planets but less terrifying than 99% of Australia.
No one wants to go to Space Australia.
After exploring Kashyyyk and getting jumpscared by those damn spiders in Fallen Order, i totally agree that this planet is a deathtrap! Wookiees are just built different.
Don't forget the vinez!!!
There's a reason they live miles above the surface. The Rakatan really fucked Kashyyk with their experiments.
Imagine if there is a hostile and feral offshoot of the wookie living in the shadow lands who evolved from madclaws and are cannibalistic....I'll call them the shadowwooks
Thatâd be a great horror novel or movie, a vemator or imperial star destroyer getting disabled and crashing and slowly getting picked off, if their were Wookiee slaves with the stormtroopers or Wookiee warriors with the clones itâd add a whole different dynamic as they had somewhat of an idea or a superstitious vibe to them
@@austinduff6493 you could do a video about a group of wookies going on a hunt and getting picked off by some shadow wooks to....maybe have the guy who made primal do it
If the shadow realm are as bad as the shadow lands no wonder people donât want to be banished there
How about stuff on the Rakkata homeworld, Rakkata Prime. I imagine the homeworld of those vicious Dark Siders is a pretty terrible place.
It's beautiful, but yeah, it is cursed.
Not as bad as Korriban and Dromund Kaas, thank the Force.
Yeah, the Bane Path of Destruction Novel pretty much showed that.
Rakkata Prime is actually an oceanic world with beautiful islands, but many islands have temples that screams with the power of the dark side. Think tropical islands in the Caribbean but with cursed Mayan temples that are haunted by unspeakable horrors and thatâs basically Rakkata Prime. Thereâs also a possibility that you might encounter whatâs left of the Rakkata species, which have devolved back into primitive and sometimes cannibalistic beasts, but theyâre so few in numbers that many considered them to be extinct but rumors still persist that they do indeed still exist.
Nah, itâs actually nice there. I love the Caribbean
â@Quinton Bottoms Definitely supposed to be the Pacific. They're modeled after the Maori.
Those big spiders were incredibly easy to kill in Fallen Order, all you had to do is parry and left click.
I fell to my death most of the time
Fuck the big ass spiders, they're annoying asl
Did anyone else read the "Young Jedi Knights" series and the Wookie adulthood ritual was to survive the lower levels and harvest Syren fibers to make their belts? This was video is a good lore dive though!
Dude I forgot about that! Lowbacca went down there I think. Loved that series so much growing up. I never meet anyone else who read them though
I'd love to see you do a video on the Maw -- the cluster of black holes near Kessel in Legends.
Jolee Bindo made the shadowlands his whole backyard in KOTOR
I remember a comic where a white Wookie fell in there and suffered a horrible death
Damn, I did not know that some Wookies would hunt the Tarantatanx (likely misspelling that). Even if most of those who try fail the hunt, that is still pretty impressive.
Terentatek
Terentatek
@@quintonbottoms5766 If you would have taken the time to read the one reply, you would see that somebody already said what the correct spelling is.
The most dangerous thing on Kashyyk is a Wookiee that lost a game of Dejarik.
Wookies: Only the best Warrior can go down there.
Me play kotor: Become a terminator slay all creature down there with the force.
Kashyyyk has long been a subject of fascination for me, ever since I had the old edition of the planets and moons book. I was excited to see Kashyyyk when the prequels hit but was disappointed to see very little of the depths of Kashyyyk. Saw bits and pieces of comics with it, but nothing substantial. Then...Fallen Order came out. Omg...I was so excited, but also nervous. Would the Shadowlands be as dangerous as all the sources say? I wasn't disappointed. That place was C-R-E-E-P-Y! The first time I got ambushed by a wyyshokk I nearly jumped out of my skin--and I hadn't even descended into the Shadowlands yet! I was just exploring a side room near the big lift. I could feel it. Something didn't feel right...then...BAM!! Another time I was exploring a cave near some stormtroopers, and a big white one pounced. This time there were a few more clues (more webbing) and I knew it was coming. Man, great stuff. To this day, I still can't decide whether Kashyyyk, with its deep delve into the wild underworld, or Zeffo, with its alien ruins, was my favorite planet. All of them were interesting! Dathomir was kind of a pain in the ass to navigate, but the colors, architecture, and art strongly reminded me of Boris Vallejo's art, especially when I captured a screenshot of a moon between the spires of the dark temple.
Imagine that one Katarn who forgot to turn off the machine and then being asked later on if they did or not đ
100% would blame someone else for not reminding him
I would love to see the 41st elite corps going down there in the shadow lands and having to survive for a year as part of their training.
Always hate that these videos end in that stupid âwould you like a video on ___â like dude, of course I would. I want a video on everything you can think of XD. Love this channel (and I was kidding about the outro itâs great)
Those flowers that quietly follow you in Fallen Order creep me out
Thus why Jolee Bindi was IMO a top tier Jedi since he basically chose to live down there. đđđż
Thanks again Folks!
All of your vids sport truly incredible artistry from a multitude of sources but I think this particular one provides some of the most beautiful... and ominous looking!
There are some VERY gifted artists out there and I sometimes pause a vid to just drool over some of the staggering displays presented.
I'm quite envious of seeing incredible artistic talent ( I couldn't draw with a blaster to my head) but at the same time, highly appreciative.
Thanks for tracking such images down for us to gape and marvel at! :)
I just read about the Shadowlands last night, and then I see you upload a video?
The force is strong with you, Geets.
Give me 2 regiments of Catachan Jungle Fighters and i'll have the Shadow Lands cleared out in a few months.
Sly Marbo would do it on his own!
For the EMPEROR!
Aaaaaaaaaagggggggggghhhhhhhhhh!
đ€Ł I think you've got that spot on.
Thanx for making me laugh
Just remember, the Wookies are 20 foot tall walking carpets that can manually dismember you with light to moderate effort, and members of their species routinely die going too low into the tree canopy of their world, much less to the actual surface.
May these dark yet virgin lands stay untampered for eons to come, even after time and space become non-existent.
its space Australia
Impossible, there's not much outlands and deserts.
Imagine a game taking place throughout this world.
Uh, Fallen Order?
I would Love to learn more about the Jedi that lived 20yrs down in the shadow. Thank you for what you do.
Back in the late 70s early 80s there used to be a Star Wars comic strip in the paper... I don't remember much about it really... But I do remember that in part of the story, the characters ventured deep down into the depths of Kashyyyk riding on the back of a long centipede/millipede type creature. I remember the comic strip talking about it being a very dangerous journey. It's cool to learn a bit more about it. Glad I stumbled across this video. Thanks for making it!
Makes me think of The Heart of Darkness on Voss. Forbidden Nightmare Lands.
5:56 in the words of chewbacka: urrrrr, ughrrrr, ughrrrrr!
I've been trying to find information about this part of kashyyyk that I saw when seeing a comic review. After a year or two, I finally found information.
If the Builder Forge is somehow removed, how will this affect Kashyyyk as a whole? Heck, will the Wookies be happy about it?
@Adolf Hitler Somehow hitler returned
Man. Really good video. đ
This was absolutely fascinating. More please.
Ngl, when he said' "in the words of chewbacca ", I expected him to follow up with "RAWAAARRRWWGAAAHH UUGGHHRAAAWR" but with subtitles.
Grandmaster Skywalker. "Hold my blue milk"... đ
Kashyyyk was one of my favorite planets to visit in Knights of the Old Republic back in the day; I'm actually saving up to buy an original Xbox with both KOTOR games.
Iâm working on an alien world project mainly inspired by James Cameronâs Avatar. Now I realize Kashyyk is also perfect for inspiration!!!!! Mainly the giant trees
Is this a book you are writing? What sort of project?
@@GroundbreakGames making aliens out of pipe cleaners.
I'm excited to see how Bad Batch will show the Shadow Lands and the rest of Kashyyk
The shadowlands appaered in the video game Knights of the Old Republic and it gave off an errie dark atmosphere...
Didn't know about the machine....cool. Good video.
Brilliant stuff
It amazes be the absolute extreme diversity in the Star wars legendarium!!! I had no idea about this before!!!
Kashyyk felt so wild when i saw it in Kotor. when i saw kashyyyk in episode 3 later, i was disappointed by it showing the beaches instead of much more interesting Shadowlands
ur thinking of episode 3 not 5
Then again, where would a battle realistically take place? If the wookies don't live in the Shadowlands, then why would the clones and droids fight in them?
My guy.. don't know where you got that from but episode 5 is Empire Strikes Back.
@@dr.pepperthenecrohealer8730 y, fixed now. was typing it in the morning just before work :(
đ€ . . . Wait a second! Is it possible that it was Kashyyyk that created the Plague that Plagued the Rakata?
Maybe do a follow up video that explains the nature of the dark side, how that machine on Kashyyyk worked, & then build a theory as to why the Rakatan Infinite Empire fell & suchâŠ
Kashyyyk is actually the best example of the dark side doing 'good', in the sense of it creating life and spurring creation rather than destruction via the methods highlighted in Sith philosophy (as described in KotOR 1 & 2), with the wookies and the planet both being the highlight examples (such could likewise be said about Manaan, where the star map is implied to be somehow related to the development of kolto).
Actually, I like to think of it as two negative numbers multiplied together, @@DBArtsCreators. Say the Rakatans were -111% good & their technology on Kashyyyk was only -2% good, thus -111 times -2 equals what?
@@nickvinsable3798
Dark Side x Dark Side does not equal Light Side; that is like saying killing your best friend and throwing their body into oncoming traffic would make the killer a good person - the end result is still a greater evil even though both events are negative.
The game is clear that Kashyyyk is not some inverted light side phenomena born of the dark side, but rather a dark side phenomena born of dark side power. There is no "good" in this situation, outside of what the wookies chose to do with their culture. Your suggestion does not work at all.
That example, @@DBArtsCreators, is more like sacrificing an unwilling participant in order to save multiple lives; its basically multiplying a positive number with a negative number. For me, I like to think of it as stopping a murderous individual by using what theyâre using: violence.
However, in my ORIGINAL comment, I was also referencing an earlier video that this channel made, the Nature of the Dark Side, & how infighting could resolve itself into a Peaceful Extinction of sorts. Sorta like if humanity fought each other to the point extinction, how will life continue?
Loved the kynraths in the newest episode of Bad Batch! Wished they'd encounter a Terentatek however.
2:15 talking about the forest floor and shows a shrine at the top of a tree lol
As with many things about Star Wars games, Star Wars Galaxies still remains to be the best most fleshed out Kash experience to date.
Great video! 4:12, no, not really, I usually bad the time of my life fighting them. Just have to parry most attacks, unlock special finisher and boom. For me, as long as there were 3-4 max, I could handle it. The Slyyyg were more annoying, especially in Battle Arena. *REAAAAAAAALY WANT A SHOW ABOUT THE RAKATA!*
9:28 âAh shit! The Rakata left the stove on!â đđđđđ
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 wish the Katans, viper kynaand anacona's were in fallen order.
I wish cal was hunted by the Terantatak.
You need to do a video on endor's forest floor.
No one escapes the maw... wait wrong universe.
Ah yes the Yuuzhan BONG
Great scary bedtime story
âHoney we gotta turn around. I just remembered I left the Builder Forge onâ
Wow the Shadowlands sound really exciting. Who would like to join a month long expedition through the Shadowlands as a rite of passing?
Scared me shitless playing kashyk for the first time in Kotor as a kid in '03
Loved Jolee as a character too
His fucking comments didn't register at 12 but now they crack me up
Anything that scares the Wookiees should scare everything else too
Please make a video on the crazy Jedi. That sounds interesting.
It's funny The Title made me think of a Chubaka with Dreadlocks Lol đ
I want to hear more about this jedi of the shadowlands
Kashyyk is my favorite planet. I wouldnât mind open world games so extensive it included massive open worlds of each of the seven layers and just kept expanding on plants and wildlife and more territory and missions and also let you manage settlements and stuff like that or just let you be an explorer Thatâs a lot of work but Iâd never stop playing for the next new adventure and trying to find the next crazy man eating wildlife
I think Korriban would be a nice vacation spot
The word "Shadowlands" now has more than one meaning to me. Both are huge "nope" zones.
I loved this episode however you have given me the phantom itches lol
Ahh I summered there two years ago and it was nice.
This needs to be a movie or at least a animated series. A story of the Wookiee
i hope they visit this area in the new Jedi: Survivor game.
I would love to hear ALOT more about kysshyk(?)
The legends world of lok and mabey the planet the dark underlord had his castle on
was so cool to go to in SWG rage of the wookies.
Certainly terrifying for sure. Why don't you talk about the depths of Manaan next?
We need a series or a really good video game set in Kashyyyk... thats a fact
If they could make a star wars horror action movie where a team of mercenaries or clones and Wookiees went to shut off the forge machine that would be awesome
Hey good afternoon True Believers and Stanley used to say you know I'm so glad you guys it is a little bit about Kashyyyk enjoy Star Wars diversity diversity. Black yellow white red skin deep blue Skynyrd sentient beings with no.2 heads man to see the beauty of Kashyyyk and to hear about it oh okay yeah so I was glad you guys spend time you guys can time to show us what this place is really about it sounds beautiful I love to go to go there if it really existed probably does will find out after I'm going to bury but I love the diversity your fiction Star Wars is it since the 1970s 79 I was a kid that seen A New Hope and that was at alright
đI đWANTđBOTHAN đVIDEO!!!đđđ
Giant Spiders far as I ever knew...
There needs to be a ttrpg campaign in the setting.
This is definetley Star Wars' version of Fear and Hunger
The Wookies have known the dangers of their homeworld. Poisonous plants have been known to grow there
"virtually everything in the shadowlands could kill you, in strange and painful ways" yep, sounds just like down under
Cool residents, and crazy wildlife? Must be Space Australia.
I'm curious what they'll do with Kashyyyk in the Bad Batch
What gets me is the expanded Star Wars universe is rich and interesting, but they gave us the new Star Wars films đ
