Why *SITH* were *TERRIFIED* of being *SHOT* in the *HEAD* with a *GUN* | *STAR WARS LORE*

Jedi feared black holes for the same reason any logical person does: They don't like becoming spaghetti noodles.

Because when an unstoppable Force meets the Force, bad things happen.

Umm. Can you explain why anyone WOULDNT BE afraid of black holes?

To be fair, black holes are powerful enough to the point where they can trap and bend LIGHT. Anyone should be afraid of them.

There's actually a name for the (ir)rational fear of black holes: Melanoheliophobia. I remember somebody with this condition making a thread on the official forums of a strategy game set in space (Stellaris, specifically) and complain about how the devs were insensitive for adding black holes to their _space_ game.

Jedi: black holes are terrifying! Han solo: Lmao

Yoda: Don't worry, that black hole won't hurt you. Black Hole: *gets closer* Younglings: Master Yoda, what are we going to do?

*Meanwhile, on Romulus* Romulan ship designer: "Hey, this would make an amazing engine"

Given how much Jedi jump around, I guess it makes sense that they hate something with that much gravity.

Anyone with any sense would be terrified of a black hole.

Who wouldn't be terrified of black holes? They're some of the most powerful phenomenon in the universe.

"draw in all energy and trap it forever" Hawking Radiation: Am i a joke to you?

2:04 Minor point, black holes actually don't trap energy forever; they emit Hawking Radiation at the poles. One of the pictures used in this video illustrates Hawking Radiation, at 2:12.

*"If light cannot escape me... what hope have you?"* -Enigma, the Consumer of Worlds.

Do black holes in star wars lead to 5th dimensional bookshelves? Imagine Obi Wan in a black hole..."don't let me go Luuke"

"luminous beings are we, not this crude matter..." Life, physical or otherwise, creates, sustains, and grows the force. Life is light AND matter, and a black hole traps and supplants both, creating a void in the force. Disrupts the flow... I can see how that'd be terrifying to a force sensitive being. Yoda basically implies that we're spirits, made of some kind of light, and, again, black holes trap light.

I mean being terrified of black holes is a perfectly natural reaction

Imagine being so powerful in the force you could basically summon a black hole and die instantly to it.

Everyone in the comments: "Lul who wouldn't be scared of black holes? May as well do a vid on why they were scared of getting shot" Me: "...you guys do realize the Jedi were highly philosophical and likely had a very deep and interesting reason for black holes being objects of terror in their faith, right?"

Jedi: black holes are scary Isaac arthur viewers: blackholes give clean energy and are easier to manage than a star lets live on one

Every comment: *who wouldn't be scared of black hole*

*Obi Wan* : (the Force) it binds the galaxy together *An astronomer* : Nope, it's the gravitational pull of a supermassive black hole

Next video "Why Jedi were TERRIFIED of getting shot in the head | Star Wars Lore" Naw I'm only teasing, I love the hell out of your videos

#AskEck Did the people of Coruscant create a Resistance Movement during the Yuzhan Vong Occupation of Coruscant

Don’t see the twin blackholes of Dorne on the Westrosi map

I think most people are afraid of black holes.

Comment section: Who wouldn't be afraid of black holes Isaac Arthur: allow me to introduce myself

Nah fam - Jedi are just afraid of getting the *succccc*

I think it's interesting to think of a black hole that way in SW lore as one of the ultimate devourers of life, and therefore the Force as well. But I think we can maybe think of black holes similarly in real life too, from a sorta "spiritual" perspective. Although all living things generally fear death and maybe intelligent and self-aware life like us humans especially, ultimately, death is arguably a natural part of the cycle of life in the universe. Because even if we die, at least the atoms and chemical compounds that make up our minds and bodies tend to get recycled back into the world, to feed new life. But interstellar level phenomena, and maybe especially black holes are different. If you were consumed by a black hole IRL, that'd be it, no corpse, no trace of your physical existence left, and no meaningful recycling of materials back into the universe. IIRC, although some radiation from black holes like Hawking Radiation might correlate directly to the consumption of matter in a sorta input-output sense, that radiation would be like unintelligible babble, barely correlatable to what went in the hole except as something like a burp by the black hole. (And in b4 being flamed), but this also reminds me of Luke's first lesson to Rey about the Force in TLJ: life and death are linked together, with natural decay feeding birth and rebirth, and so the Force will continue. But I remember now that when I first saw Rey's Dark Side Cave in TLJ, I was kinda creeped out on a fundamental level, like it reminded me of a black hole, but somehow ringed with or even formed from natural matter. I wonder if some fear of interstellar phenomena, especially those that transcend our notions of creation and destruction, are what underlie cosmic horror too

I'm not afraid of Black Holes. That's where all my self-respect, hopes and dreams are.

#AskEck Can you talk about our lord and savior: The Halo Valiant Class Superheavy Cruiser/BattleCruiser?

Well that’s odd, I honestly expected a civilization with Faster-Than-Light thech would be able to survive black holes and find them as annoying, not as scary

How do we call a celebration too close to a black hole ? A spaghetti party

Because space magicians are too proud to ask help on understanding physics?

"I fear no man... But that _thing..._ It scares me."

Would u be able to do an in depth story about Darth Nihilus' life? Love your vids btw. Keep up the good work

I too feel a creeping sense of dread each time I encounter a black hole during my travels in Elite:Dangerous. I do understand that due to gameplay restrictions they cant really cause you damage (other then overheating), however that still does nothing to alleviate my fears. My first ever encounter in the system of Maia, I almost started to cry when I had to approach one for the sake of scanning it (back in the old days where you had to get close to a stellar object to scan it and even closer to a BH), I was literally that terrified.

Jedi: Afraid of black holes. Issac Arthur: Free real estate.

#Askeck can you do Androids/Cyborgs compare Cyberlife Skynet Weyland Yutani (Aliens) Cylons

I just want to say that I’m proud of this comment section of this video, because everyone is stating the obvious, “Who wouldn’t be scared by a black hole?!”, and yet, there’s hardly any dislikes or hate on this video, and it’s beautiful! 👍

What I learned today: jedi dont know about the hawking radiation.

1. T-70 X-Wing VS E-Wing 2. Nebula Star Destroyer VS Pellaon class Star Destroyer

Sooo.. 🅱lackholes are a *Wound in the force* ?

Maybe Black Holes are the Highest Ground? Hmmm. Haha

I always enjoy your vids man

Abeloth is one of the best underused characters in Legends, just like Nihilus imo

Because of the Maw Cluster sucks everything in. As well as the Yuuzhan Vong Dovan Basils sucks shields and Black Holes everything.

Meanwhile those humans on Earth: *oH iS dA bLAck hOlEs, leT's gO iN SHaLl wE?*

Eckhart's Ladder and Shack in one video?! The world is a better place!

Black holes are some of the safest objects in our universe, per the amount of mass they contain. A star with the mass of a black hole is just as gravitationally attractive but can also irradiate you from far away.

Could you perhaps do a generalized video about the hyperspace routes and such? Secret ones, heavy traffic ones, etc?

I'm terrified of lack holes too. Great explanation. May the Force be with you too :)

Versus idea: Yoda vs. Black Hole

If the Force is life, and the Jedi serve life - civilization, truth, fidelity - then black holes are unlife - entropy.

Also Vitiate in legends could also be something like that, like Scourge says something like this: "The Emperor is beyond darkness, he is a void"

The title of this is a set up for so many memes I don't even want to think of how many have already been thought of in this short time.

Look at you, Almost there to 1 Million. I liked and subscribed dude best to you!

Vs machup Spartan 2 vs Tyrannosaurus Rex Barehanded🏋️‍♂️

Wasn't Grand Master Luke in Legends was so powerful in the Force that he could manipulate black holes?

Nice! I was looking for my random video of the day.

Great vid!

Necron Overlord vs. Darth Plagueis Farseer Taldeer vs. Yoda Master Chief vs. Noble 6 Flood vs. Mgnal Mgnal Shas'o Kais vs. Darth Maul Abeloth vs. Khaine Nightbringer vs. Primordial Orks vs Path Kethona Forerunners United 40k vs. Everybody Else Seer Council vs. Noble Team Monolith vs. AT-TE Shas'o Kais vs. Master Chief Darth Vader vs. Farseer Macha Farseer Caerys vs. Mace Windu Guardians vs. Stormtroopers Howling Banshee vs. Sangheili *12th Attempt*

Except that in one of the Legends books (I want to say its Heir to the Empire by Timothy Zahn but not 100% sure), they actually travel into a black hole where Luke uses the force to actually navigate through it in order to find a mining facility inside.

Great Vid!

That dog at the end of every video is great

Vs matchup Squad battle between Spartan 4s(Halo) vs Dark Trooper Mk3 (Star Wars)

Hey Echartsladder why not do a video on SDF Macross?

good job ECK!

7:12 The outro kills me every time 🤣

Black holes pump out massive radiation, Jedi would understand the balance. The SW universe would understand physics better than us.

Black Hole-Chan

the dog thing at the end is so cool and funny

I hope people appreciate these videos. You allow us to explore the Star Wars EU without having to acquire and read everything.

Y'all he said "there's something beyond the rational fear" at the beginning. He knows everyone should be afraid of black holes, he just went a little deeper into why the Jedi were so afraid. Give him a break.;;;

Replicators vs a Unified Star Wars universe (514th try now, *_I._** WILL NEEEEVER EEEVER GIVE UP!!!)*

WE LOVE YOUR WORK!

I still love your ending with the dog. its the best.

That was a great video, very interesting. #AskEck Could a Jedi or a Sith compress a piece of matter using the force to a size smaller than its Schwarzchild radius to create a black hole? What the Schwarzchild radius is, is the theoretical radius needed to compress matter to a density where it would become a black hole with the equation r=2(GM/c^2) where G is the universal gravitational constant, M is mass, and c is the speed of light. To give you an idea, the Schwarzchild radius of the Earth is 8mm. Coincidentally, the Schwarzchild radius is also the radius of the event horizon from the centre of gravity.

Jedi: "Black holes are very dangerous.." Luke: Don't mind if I move it..

3:53 The psychosis was brought on because of the direct influence of Abeloth. It wasn't just likely, it was explicitly stated in the books. Ben even talks about the cold tendrils working their way into his mind while at Shelter. When the Maw began to break up, Abeloth was able to reassert her influence upon those who were children at Shelter. The Force psychosis was literally the power of Abeloth.

Doctor: Black holes, phhtt my people practically invented black holes. Well, in fact, they did.

How do micro-hyperspace jumps work, especially when compared to regular hyperspace jumps? More specifically, how do they work in the heat of battle? #askeck Video suggestion: Legends Tie Defender vs. X-83 Twintail

Thank you Eck.

Wow, you deliver fast

A real black hole isn't conceptually scary. They are just remnants of stars, so they continue to move like those stars. If our sun was magically replaced with a black hole of the same mass, our solar system would be a lot darker, but it would largely stay the same. But seeing a black hole with the naked eye, that would be unsettling as hell. You'd be looking through a three-dimensional hole in the fabric of spacetime.

Can’t blame them. Black holes are terrifying in our universe.

Resonance and my white daisy, very cool and good 👌

This is really cool.

Pellaeon needs a title, not of the Grand Admiral sort, but of the Pellaeon "the Great" or "the Magnificent" sort

There seams to be a healthy few videos titled "why the Jedi feared X" but no-one ever posts the 2nd and 3rd parts "why Jedi are angry at black holes" and "why Jedi hate black holes"

> explains nothing can escape them > *Shows images of Hawking radiation blasting out of a black hole*

Definitely agree with the Pellaeon statement at the end.

#askeck are there any intergalactic fast food restaurants in the Star Wars galaxy? Like an intergalactic chick fil a? Day 8

Viking Mech squadron( StarCraft) vs VF-1 Valkyrie variable fighter squadron( SDF Macross).

Totally concur with your assessment of Pellaeon as the ‘best’ imperial officer

5:36 you can hear Eck's phone go off. an interesting video because when I watch star wars, I never think of black holes. thinking about it though, it would have been an interesting clone wars episode or something, having anakin and/or asohka having to outrun or contain a black hole

Imagine someone making starships with quasar drives in Star Wars.
