Poor Greedo. Killed by Han just to be drank by the dude that sent him.

Han Solo: Sorry about the mess. Most Eisley Cantina owner: No, thank you for the free dead body.

You wouldn’t have guessed a lot of these were a thing when it came to Rodians judging by that one peaceful senator of Rodia from the Clone Wars

I find it ironic since the Rodians seemed pretty passive in Star Wars The Clone Wars show.

Considering how actually violent some of the species are, it is a miracle that any galactic civilization even survived, much less lasted long enough to create the Galactic Republic’s, but hey that civilization for you it is too stubborn to die.

With all the clan wars, dictators, backstabbing to become dictator, and bloodlust, I'm amazed the Rodians didn't drive themselves to extinction years ago.

Rodian Theatre, a genre of movie is 80s action flicks

3:50 "Who shot first?" "Doesn't matter, first he was shot then turned into shots."

Imagine a Rodian Sith. Those big eyes radiating a beautiful and/or terrifying fiery orange with a hint of red from being a user of the Dark Side

Alas, no inborn, physical predisposition to hunting will save you if you don't shoot first :p

2:54 I wonder what happened to that Force sensitive baby Rodian post-Clone Wars. Hopefully, the said baby survived and grown up to join the Rebel Alliance, and could even learn the ways of the Jedi from Luke or Ahsoka.

3:55 Man greedo cant catch a break even in death 😭

Bugs thrive on carnage. The Rodians are no different.

2:40 Captain Rex is Gandalf the Grey

After watching this video, I am surprised none of us ever see a Rodian Sith Lord before. Man, if there is a Rodian Sith Lord who successfully became the Grand Protector, just imagine how horrifying that could be.

I've got to say, I did not know that the bartender of the tatoine (apologies if I am misspelling it) bar was so adept at making drinks that he could make a good drink from the yucky pheromones of Rodians. I do not drink alcohol, despite being above the legal age in America. However, I do respect that kind of creativity.

Huh. So Greedo got turned into liquor. That's...a neat detail. Can I have some?

0:12 The Rodians embraced the stereotype and reveled in it.

I'm sorry, WHAT happened to Greedo's corpse?!

Years ago, I found out that Rodians do a sort of salute when greeting people and assumed that they were mostly polite and peaceful because of that. Guess I was wrong.

Humans: skunk ass cheeks a delicacy on ur planet? Rodians: 😡 no and what I don’t need these TOMatoes.

Of course there are always exceptions to the rule even in the planet of hats trope that Star Wars so often falls into. I remember the Rodian merchant in Kotor 2 was pretty docile and peaceful, but was considered a bit of an outcast among her people because she found humans attractive.

8:32 want to talk about it?

I was sorta hoping their species would have changed a little once they integrated into the galaxy more, opting to hunt other species and uniting as one group. But, I guess it's easier to get away with hunting yourselves than hunting other species.

Conclusion: *They shot first*

Rodians- a race of generational hunters that conquered a devastatingly brutal ecosystem Also Rodians- galactic cannonfodder who are almost always the first to die in any scenario

On one hand, I have to wonder why so many Rodians are just overconfident thugs when they are supposed to be skilled hunters. On the other hand, I suppose that when all you do is chase and murder terrified dissidents, you come up short against genuine warriors.

Fun fact about the Rodian theatre is that senator Onaconda Farr directed and paid for a three act play that was basically a critique of the Military Creation Act. Had many rave yet mixed reviews over the Holonet.

Rodians: bloodthirsty Iridonians: Even worse?

Next time could you please do a video about the Bothans and one about the Falleens? And perhaps one about Prince Xizor and the Black Sun

And to think, there have been many Rodian Jedi as well. Would take a hell of a lot of discipline to suppress their nature... more than most species whose Force Sensitives are eligible to become Jedi.

I had no idea about this, I really enjoyed the video.

Do Caamasi if you haven’t already

“Who shot first?” I see what you did there 😆

Weird we've met some chill rodians on the show then

I recommend the Aleena or whatever short ones where called.

Ultimately, both Han and Greedo shot at the same time. Change my mind.

Maybe doing a video about the Vratix of Thyferra next.

Han shot first, we have not forgotten your transgression, George of the editing room

Thanks to Geetsly, now I know Greedo’s corpse was ground up to make Hutt liquor. Always something new to learn in the Star Wars universe.

3:09 This opens the door for “smell racism.”

*sees title* Orks has entered the chat.

Very interesting it's unfortunate that we don't see Rodians and Trandoshans working together to hunt down animals and people. 😩

Wonder what titles will they give to their theater plays?

I'm not sure why or if it is just me and to be honest it probably is but for some reason whenever I see a rodian I always think of a sea horse for some reason.

Yes, yes, very good

Han shot first. If he didn't, he'd be dead. I like the idea of Han doing what he had to do. It fits his personality instead of fitting a squeaky clean idealistic persona.

Han shot first namely because he isn't stupid and he knows greedo WAY TOO well to give him the chance.

Can u make a video about the true Sith Empire Military

Macklunkey!

Everybody gangsta till a Rodin says “Maclunky”

Karstaag? Thats a frost giant monarch who lived on solstheim untill he became a victim hircine's great hunt on solstheim after the events of the elder scrolls 3 morrowind :derpface emoji:

I'm sorry but can we back up to the bartender that ground up Gredos body for drinks? Thats F%$# up man.

What about the rakata?

So the had a kind of shogunate

Maclunkey

Then how did ANO Come into it, as he seemed very passive?

Han shot first on Greedo

Who would win rodians or niktos

I belive it's called star wars for a good reason

🤔 . . . If you haven’t already: Cathar…

Fun lol

Rodian Fact #1: They NEVER shoot first.

Where's the guide to the Senate.

You just had to bring that up... Han shot first, and I will fight to the death anyone whom says otherwise... Han was practically the only original trilogy (and arguably the entire legacy) of Star Wars' anti-hero, and to take that away from him is detestable... He proved even though the ends may not justify the means that the circumstances of person's life doesn't define the type of person they are, and no matter what anyone else may tell you we all deserve better than to fall victim to other's interests. To take that from him is also equivalent to robbing any children struggling with such circumstances the opportunity to see themselves in such a way (at least as far as Star Wars is concerned). That's a dick move just so you can be more PC.

Just me or is Rodia a lot like Florida?

Huh, interesting.

Greedo shouldn't have fired first lol

Thanks for this, cracking vid. One thing for future vids the refugees/asylum seekers would be classed as "deserters" not illegal immigrants.

Rhodesians never die :(

Don't forget v for victory help support Ukrainian efforts to fight for freedom

Han shot first!

But they look so non threatening...

So basically, at an Intergalactic Sentient level these guys were natural choices for Assassins, Bounty Hunters, Soldiers, Enforcers an to some extent even body guards from their usual blood thirst instincts or nature to hunt.. Also kinda makes me wonder if and if so Whom the exceptions to this was as such was clearly unnatural... Like for example if there was Rodian Jedi for example whom are more about peace and protecting an serving then anything

although there are some major differences this reminded me of many countries in Africa that have some of the same problems

Why do your videos always repeat itself, 8:45, it already happened a few

Can't trust em

Geetsly: Once again steals a topic that Metanerdz Lore did, and does it himself. Me: What's next, a species breakdown of The Toydarians? The Hutts (Canon)? The Zabraks? Are we becoming Metanerdz Lore 2.0? (Okay, I like your channel, Geetsly, but I couldn't help but notice that you're making videos so darn similar to those of Metanerdz Lore.) To which, I say: Can you PLEASE do planet lore videos on Coruscant, and Tatooine? They would make a fine addition to your collection.

Greedo shot first! Well at least I would be able to eliminate Rhodian as a species my girl slept with, or not. So, "Something is rotten in Rhodia" becomes a popular thig to say to a sus?

Why are so many species hunters while others are pacifists how about some middle ground?

A stereotype is generally true, otherwise it wouldn't be a stereotype 😑

Too Stinky to be Sith material
