Really interesting pick up. Big brain on Corey, eh boys and girls

Corey: you guys are the same. Vong: WE ARE NOT THE SAME!!

I never realized that their were parallels between the prequels and the new jedi order series. Also canderous, and his follow mandalorians encountered a vong ship thousands of years before the battle of yavin but the ship escaped, and much later before the events of the phantom menace maul fought and killed a yuuzhan vong warrior.

I didn't know the Vong hate for technology came from their own galaxy. Kinda ironic

Interesting comparisons and a unique lore video, that isn't just an overview, but a nice look at comparing two different eras, but also looking at the time of its inception in the EU. Great stuff, id love to see more Yuuzahn Vong content. NJO is my favourite era.

Could you please cover the two battles where Luke and - I think - Kyp Duron used the force to manipulate Yuuzhan Vong created black holes (I'm pretty sure that happened).

I'm on my first read of NJO, while i generally know the ending it's always great to see how you get there

Personally, the Yuuzhan Vong are some of my all time favorite aliens in all of fiction. For lack of a better word, they are unique. Unlike the Galactic Empire, who relied on massive warships, planet destroying weapons and endless numbers of Stormtroopers, the Vong are basically a galactic locust that swept across the galaxy and terraformed worlds. Their organic technology was something unlike anything the galaxy had ever seen, and that includes most of fiction as a whole. If I had to make a comparison, the Vong would be similar to the Borg from Star Trek only instead of massive cubes the Vong used Worldships, Chazrak foot soldiers and later the Jedi Hunters Voxyn. If there is one Star Wars race I'd love to see on the big screen it would definitely be the Yuuzhan Vong.

Chewbacca our fallen soldier, he cared a little too much about the details of NJO. By judgment of the writer council, you are dead but not apart of the top ten coolest anime death videos.

The CIS is one of the best factions. Change my mind

Oooh, lore. I love these videos

It wasn't my first introduction to star wars, but I absolutely loved the NJO!! Always love hearing more lore.... it's funny to hear other people pronounce the same crazy names and titles for things in these books... they always sound different then the way I said them in my head!! Lol

The Yuzon Vong have ties to Star Wars Droids? Now I saw everything.

God the Bong would be so Triggered by that title! I love the cis they're the best army imo I love them the most....but the vong HATE the droids. They Find then sacreligious!

Corey by myself also got reintroduced into Star wars the expanded universe with the NJO I started reading them in 2002

Controversial opinion but I always thought that Luke should've died in NJO instead of Anakin Solo.

Interesting similarities you picked up on. I didn't know the Yuuzhan Vong lobotomized their slaves.

Machine vs Flesh

NJO is hands down my favorite SW era! I love it so much. I reread it like every other year. lol

Great video bro

I'm re-reading The New Jedi Order right now. It's great.

0:48 It says it is an invasion, but which one?

I'm not sure you get what the Vong represent thematically.

@Corey's Datapad at what point in reading did you start thinking that there was similarities between the two? interesting that you managed to pick up on this

Its like they rhyme! Man the Vong war would make such a sweet trilogy. That we will never see.

1:36

Great video! Much more interesting to watch compared to The last of us 2 playthroughs

Who were the names at 9:53?

More Vong please. NJO isn't appreciated enough.

I dont see it. The Vong warriors lived their lives as a ritualistic and personal sacrifice to their Gods and their society. The droids were a bunch of walking guns.

7:39 COREY IM DYING THATS HILARIOUS But otherwise, a really interesting take. Nice video!

Whatever Corey.. We are machines, we are greater then the Yuuzhan Vong.. U can’t convince me otherwise, my programming says so.. >;) - Great video as always.

I hate these out of galaxy invaders

If I wanted grimdark biotech only invaders from another galaxy I already have another setting for that, this faction isn't very star-warsy
