World Devastators would have literally solved pollution. There are several planets in Star Wars that are 100% covered in junk and toxic chemicals. Send a Devastator with a big recycling symbol and a smiley face painted on it and you have a clean planet. Oh, and a spare navy as a by-product, just in case anyone wanted one.

Given the seemingly simple nature of the AI systems onboard a World Devastator this isn’t a far fetched solution to terraforming planets or even demolition/renovation of core worlds like Coruscant. I would love to see one make an appearance as an easter egg somewhere in the background of a shot, and your idea would be perfect for it.

Star Forge was fueled by the Dark Side and sun. The Infinite Engine was Rakatan tech, and was similar in nature to the World Devastators in being self propagating and upgrading. The Star Forge copied dozens of Interdictor Cruisers, and tens of thousands of modern (for the -4kBBY Old Republic) Sith Interceptors, plus millions of war droids, from the scratch once loaded into the Forge. So it was only limited by time and material, not technological level, since Rakatan tech was relatively basic while being force powered for it's high effectiveness. All the ingredients exist for it to happen assuming a sufficiently powerful Sith like Palpatine was in command of the station to "bring it to heel" so to speak since if I remember correctly Malak was too weak and let it consume him as he fed on it, versus Reven who was able to direct it solely for his goals, which is why you can (still?) make your Sith (or light?) Robes.

Imperial Whovian the Star Forge at its heart had multiple Infinite Engines and could turn any matter into something else on the molecular level. That's how Star Matter over Lehon produced hundreds of Interdictor class Cruisers for Revan and Malak's Sith Empire. I don't know how, but I'm sure Palpatine or his Imperial Archaeology crews discovered an Infinite Engine and reverse engineered the ancient tech and mad it their own. It makes so much sense on a galactic and historical scale. Even 25,000 years after their Infinite Empire collapsed, the Rakata still influence the future. I really want to see a full scale war between the Infinite Empire and the Yuuzhan Vong. An addition to the conflict is that the Rakata have regular hyperdrives now. This little hindrance prevented the Infinite Empire from truly conquering the stars all those years ago. But now they are unrestricted by the Force and can wreak havoc anywhere 😎

Arthur Morgan its over the top nature is what made it Star Wars: multiple superweapons, Dyson Spheres, Ancient super advanced civilizations, trans dimensional entities, lovecraftian horrors like Abeloth, the threat of AI (HK-01/IG-88A), the ever-increasing Force Potential of beings like the Sith and the Jedi, while lore surrounded conflicts were waged left and right for millennia ! All of this was what made the Expanded Universe fill infinite and adventurous and dangerous at the same time. But what is an adventure with thrills and chills ? Oh, yeah that is exactly what Disney believes in. So far, the only content they've made that could be worthy of Legends is Lord Momin and his Force Time Travel and that scientist named Cylo that had cyborg Force Users that really just had an advanced connection to the technology in their reach. Those things, I liked. And guess what, they could all honestly fit in Legends ! People say the Legends Rebellion era is too stuffed but honestly their is a 24 year gap between Endor and a shit ton of more stories could be implemented into those decades. The only consumer content I remember that actually explored the time between RotS and ANH was Star Wars Galaxies (a legendary game). But besides that, I'm not sure. And before Disney Thanos'd the entire Expanded Universe I was firstly confused on why they didn't just explore the New Sith Wars era ! It is virtually empty of solid animated content and has over 380 years of history missing in the 1000 year on and off war between the dark lords and Jedi and Republic. I'll never know what truly gave their board of directors the idiotic idea of throwing away 100,000 years of lore and marketing material but I pray no other company ever does something like that. I don't get pissed because the old canon is now Legends, I get pissed because Lucasfilm and old business partners like Dark Horse and Bioware can't create Expanded Universe content !!! Like I don't know why they can't just do what Marvel does with their multiple realities and universes !? I'm done ranting, I've taken up too much of your day as it is. Peace fellow lore nerd...

Yes and no. They weren't capable of self replicating like skynet was, they could only self upgrade. Skynet both upgraded and replicated as every terminator, facility, and general computer was "skynet", in reality only 1 needed to survive to start the cycle over again. A world devastator is just itself, producing units, those units are not capable of restarting the cycle if its destroyed. Both however are massively handicapped by plot armour. Skynet would realistically have won, by making nodes in places people simply can't reach (under sea, under ground, in space, etc), and the world devastators would have been best used by 1st deploying them in unoccupied systems, letting them build insane fleets before anyone even knew they existed, and each one having its own unique shutdown code, no master code. It's always the same in sci-fi when dealing with AI, they always have to handicap it, by saying it shall only exist were people can get to it, or it won't just build more units than people have bullets, or it'll not design something that's nigh unkillable.

I think this might sound crazy, but I think the World Devastators should've come back in the sequels, because they fit well with the First Order's seemingly nomadic doctrine of strip mining whatever they find for resources. It would've been cool to, say, see the resistance go to Crait only to find the World Devastators are already there and are eating it up and cranking out walkers and fighters.

Yeah, it's my favorite piece of technology in SW and the concept totally doesn't deserve enough attention. Any halfway-competent industrialist should be able to figure out the matter-conversion tech involved, build a small one, and, like Eck said, just set it loose in a forgotten asteroid belt for a while. Places like Corellia, Kuat, Rendili should be able to operate these things, strip mining uninhabitated systems to crank of warships, with none of the "Dark Side alchemy" complications of something like the Star Forge.

Does anyone in charge of Star Wars have any forthought to how technology would impact the setting? I mean holy shit, why are there not giant 3D printers printing out starships if these World Devastators can do it? Why aren't there Constructor Drone swarms? Why is this concept not taken apart into different individual components that are automated but not Artificially Intelligent? Program a drone swarm to self propagate and when it no longer detects matter in their surroundings, they eat themselves instead, feeding all material to a hive ship that functions as a shipyard crafting droids, drones, weapons, and ships. It's not intelligent, it's just automated. It sorts, it allocates resources, and it produces from blueprints. Send one missile loaded with constructor drones at a planet and they go to work. This doesn't even require nanotech as seen in the typical Grey Goo concept, just drones of the same nature we typically see. They don't even have to be small, they could be normal sized drones that swarm around lazing resources, storing them, then returning to the hive or drop off points. It's also ridiculous there aren't more cyborgs and why what few cyborgs we do see look janky as hell.

I think the NR's policy would see something like the World Devastator as a threat too big for the galaxy to function properly around, and their destruction of the World Devastator was a good idea, because they actively avoided centralizing their power too much for fear of becoming a new Empire. Same reason they got rid of the Sun Crusher: if one person with a vendetta gets ahold of one, "good guy" or not, millions if not billions or trillions of beings will die.

Replicators always lose due to implanted "plot armor weakness" subroutines:D I know, I know... but likewise I'll never give up pointing it out. Stargate had thrown dozens of concepts and potential stories into the trash. Replicators was one of the worst examples of wasted potential. How can we put them against anything if theoretically they can do almost anything, but in the show they'd do nothingat all most of the time? Star Wars stomps simply because Stargate authors never cared enough for their own creations. And I'm never forgetting how they axed Azurans.

Great video man. I have a question if they had used world devastators during the yuuzhan vong war how useful would have been like in the sense that would they have won the war faster with less casualties maybe even had stop the vong right at the edge of the galaxy. I mean if the world devastators are that powerful then they could have been very useful plus am I right in thinking that the yuuzhan vong hated droids and anything A.I so with that they would have focused their efforts more on devastators leaving them open to counter attack or flaking. I'm not fully in the know about all the star wars lore which is why I love watching these videos but I thought that it would make a interesting thought. Anyway thanks for the upload and look forward to seeing future video's

Godzilla Earth. G-Earth destroyed a moon-sized asteroid in a single shot when it wasn't fully grown (or rather, before it reached the 300-meter height we see in the anime). Even assuming it required a charging period to do so, the moon is far bigger than a CSO carrier. Whilst the carrier is powerful, and probably could've taken down Reach's entire defence grid on its own, G-Earth tanked basically every nuke America had on hand when it was young and came out unscathed. It can swim in the magma of the earth, crack continental plates, and is potentially smarter than humans.

Problem is Godzilla is grounded on whatever planet its on. Has no armor besides scales and no shielding; while its only "Capital Ship Killer" is a nuclear breath attack probably up to a kilometer away max range. Whereas the CSO is a inter systemic super ship wielding a shield that unless a nuke got inside, was virtually immune to nuclear attacks. Plus, the energy projectors it has glass whole cities in mere minutes. Soooooo, yeah.
