If only the people on those planets knew the Tragedy Of Darth Plagueis The Wise, then they could have saved themselves from death.
Oracle Ironic...
Well it's not a story Alex would've told you
its ironic...
Justin O. No one knows why, we all just enjoy it.
Justin O. ''Tis the nature of memes. What can men do against such randomness?
Nathema and Ziost, planets the Sith Emperor Vitiate destroyed to fuel his immortality
Cameron White U don't mean Tenebrane?
+ His first name sorry
You forgot to mention Concord Dawn, which was partially destroyed during the ancient Mandalorian wars. That's canon.
Same goes for Lola Sayu, the CIS prison planet from the Citadel arc from TCW (except why it turned out to be like that is unknown)
Man, Star Wars has so MANY destroyed or uninhabitable planets roaming its galaxy. It must've been disturbing for its various inhabitants.
Great video!! 🙂👍🌠
Ziost, Nathema, and many unidentified planets (for example 4 different random planets were completely devastated by Eternal Fleet during old republic and 3 different planets were annhilated of all life and over 10 trillion lives was lost only because of "testing of superweapon" by very mysterious technologically advanced race named Iokathians which has little lore
Someone destroyed Carida’s mascot moon... Someone named Mako Spince. He intended to blow the imperial academy’s seal off the moon but misjudged the amount of antimatter needed and instead destroyed the entire moon. The Han Solo trilogy was my favorite series growing up.
I was 699 in likes, should have waited for one more person! LoL
I Love your channel I'm 36 years old and grew up reading the books, comics, and watching the movies. When I get up in the morning and get ready for work, nine times out of ten I'm listening to your channel. Thanks man and keep it up!
If you haven't already can you do a video on rancors?
Cynda, the moon of Gorse in A New Dawn, takes quite significant damage if I recall correctly. But 'Forceror' is now my new head canon 😂😂😂
...I'm almost afraid to ask, but how did you find out how to pronounce those names? And, how much time was burned getting them right?
The bit about forcerors, though? Golden!
Yuuzhan Tar (not sure on spelling btw) wasn't destroyed but rather changed location and was renamed Zonoma Sekot.
New one to add to the list: Vardos from Battlefront 2
Still habitable
Over 100 habitable places already...wow..
I wander how many are left.
Let's not forget the planets that were LITERALLY EATEN by Darth Nihilus. Okay so the planets themselves weren't exactly consumed, but everyone on them was. I feel like that's a fairly destroyed planet.
You forgot planet Endor. The one on ROTJ was the Forest Moon only
Vitiate's homeworld was rendered uninhabitable too I am pretty sure
thank god its all legends
Your forgot Vitiate's "destruction" of Natheema
Now, this is why I actually supported giving the ax to the Legends universe, and beginning the Canon universe anew. Every author just had to have their own super weapon saga. So each became more powerful than the previous. It was getting out of hand. The power of the Force was also become more and more OP. Each author wanted to outdo the others and push the Force to new heights of power and destruction. The Force became magic and sorcery, which I think weakened its overall appeal for me, of the Force as a subtle, yet ultimate guiding element in the galaxy (universe?).
Ironic
Too many destroyed planets! TOO MANY!
You really have to wonder whether "the epidemic of planet destruction" was even considered in issue in galactic politics.
you missed Peragus 2 from KOTOR 2 and some in SWTOR Uphardes, ziost and Nathema but i dont know if the last 3 count as u could still live on them not that anyone would want to
And Ziost, Nathema, and practically Makeb too
Um You forget a few Planets and the ones destroyed by Sith Emperor in the Great Galactic Wars.
And even before that.
What about Telos and it's destruction by admiral Saul Karath? I presume you already met the guy in Kotor, at least on scenes.
Holy shit.
How are there any habitable planets left in legends?
How about a list of extinct species or ones that have a very small surviving civilization
Geonosis also had almost all of its inhabitants massacred.
Everyone sayin they want naboo destroyed because of jar jar I'm pretty sure he is already dead it's been long enough
Why should Starkiller Base be Ilum?
You might as well say it's Hoth if the only proof is that it's also snowy. Starkiller Base is located somewhere completely different on the galactic map.
+kingkusnacht starkiller base's origin point is in exactly the same spot as Ilum
do:all hutts in star wars. and about riff tamson.
You need to add in Nathema
Could you do a video on a force ability called dark transfer, I'm interested on it capability.
What about Vitiate siphoning the Force from Nathema?
*Once you destroy a planet, you can never get it back.*
Force-sorcerer= Forcerer! Brillant
So about the ashes of jedha
What about the planet of the Noghri from heir to the Empire?
for the next comprehensive list if you want to keep the theme of mass destruction what about every sentient race that was wiped extinct or was the subject of genocide?
Did you miss Xizor's home planet?
Wait in legends a planet called voltar got destroyed? Somebody must’ve got a terrible fortune from the voltar machine there..
What about Cartn Onassi's planet Telos
What happened to Concord Dawn?
Concord Dawn doesnt look like it is able to sustain any life without artificial life support. And all life on geonosis was also destroyed
Sorry but far too many planets have been destroyed in legends, a planet being destroyed should be an extreme and rare tactic which even the most evil would think twice about doing, and the idea that 'sith magic' or essentially 'using the force' can effectively destroy planets is stupid.
All Gungans in Canon and legends
What about Shola and Mustafar?
If only people new about the tragedy of darth sand the irritating
how many planets were destroyed in all or inhabitable?
You forgot Nathema from legends.
I thought it was corruscant when I first seen force awakens
Imagine, an Antimatter Bomb.
Wasn't Geonosis rendered uninhabitable in canon?
Some of the planets sound like medicines
Master Chief hey cheif what you doing here man. dont you need to kill some covenant?
Some Jedi Covenant?
Funnily enough after making peace with the covenant the newest game still has you kill covenant.
“Ask your doctor if Kalarba is right for you!”
Some sound like taxis....
Though not literally destroyed, both Ziost and Nathema were rendered lifeless through dark side rituals performed by Vitiate, their respective systems were even partially cut off from the force.
Spacedock A wild spacedock appeared!
and tho it didnt actually get destroyed, Makeb was very nearly destroyed from Hutt mining operations.
I thought you left Makeb right before it was destroyed.
Taris and Telos were restored to livable. I don't count those.
Janglenutter on imp side you save the planet
What if Palpatine accidentally executed order 65?
"Commander Cody, the time has come... Execute order 65!"
"Will be done my Lord."
"OH SHIT NO! I MEANT ORDER 66! 66!"
*Clones burst into office*
"It's treaso..." *Gets blasted 10 million times*
The Force
Clones: in the name of…well you sir, you are to be executed
Palpatine: No you will die
Nice copy and paste
Kaiser Are you trying to be offensive? Last time I posted it late, so I decided to re-post it earlier this time. Besides, there's nothing wrong with putting the same comment twice
I just hate copy and paste people trying to take all the credit.
Didn't know you were the original guy
Btw, pointing out the obvious isn't the same as being offensive. I didn't even use an insult lol
Kaiser Well, I made the joke, and sorry for thinking you were offending me
I guess this is like the nuclear warfare of Star wars
SUPERSTORM owen 🤔 . . . Yep
Evan Kearney the fucks you’re problem he’s stating a point that yes it may be obvious but doesn’t mean u freak out
When people are like "Ewww Canon is so dumb, the new movie's are copying the original ones, Legends were way better!" While in Legends there were so many copies too
David Walker Well of course, we talk about the good legends... obviously.
Caleb While ignoring the overwhelming shite.
Kolbein of Holmr Yep, it's a story anyway, you can dismiss "canon". The word has literally no meaning in a god damn made up story.
+David Walker Considering that the EU comprises over 30 years of a myriad of authors writing stories with no real overarching authority how is that the same as current canon which is is very strict and structured?
+Kolbein of Holmr Nope. Most of the EU had great stories and only a minority were bad if you'd actually care to do some research.
Vanders Yeah the Holiday Special, the TV show Droids and the 2 ewok movies + comics were amazing
How do you feel about the tactic of destroying planets? Do you feel it raises the stakes or does the impact lessen because so many weapons destroy planets?
it just makes no tactical sense. planets in the golilocks zone that can support life are rare. blowing them up left and right is so mind mindbogglingly stupid to me. I understand bombing the surface, or cities, but destroying a perfectly good planet is just overkill
But remember that some alien races can live on planets we might consider uninhabitable. So the number of habitable planets in Star Wars is going to be larger than just “planets that support human life.” Star Wars also seems to stretch the definition of “habitable” with planets like Tatooine and Hoth. Jedha is even somewhat similar to Mars, which we don’t consider properly habitable.
It is good for striking fear like the Alderaan incident, but to do because you just can is the stupidest thing I have ever seen in Star Wars
@@bateskids9875 I think its just absurdly common in Star Wars.
@@bateskids9875 Yeah, peaceful Alderaan was plausible because it showed how cruel the Empire could be.
They also didn't get to use the superweapon again in the original trilogy so the impact stays the same.
Starkiller base feels like the same thing all over again though. A more powerful weapon does not automatically make it interesting.
STILL !!!! Waiting for 101facts about corusant can u please make it? WHO AGREES✅✅
Me!!!
Yes
Dew it
Definitely a good idea
dewit
4:50 - 4:56 DID I HEAR THAT RIGHT?! A HYPERSPACE RAMMING?! THAT... is actually akin to what happened in the last Jedi, albeit a probably smaller scale...
Dear Disney...
STOP DESTROYING OUR FAVORITE PLANETS!
Tiny Elephant Legends destroyed way more planets than Disney. There's only seven new planets that were destroyed in the canon bought by Disney, there's no evidence that there were recurring planets that were destroyed.
Only Starkiller Bass destroyed the Hosnian System not Coruscant. And Alderran was obviously destroyed way before Disney bought Star Wars & LucasFilm. Also it seems like you didn’t watch the video where more planets were made uninhabitable in Legends.
@@FireheartSamurai Dang i didn't expect anyone to still be replying lol. I wrote this comment 2 years ago 😂. Yeah I was just kinda salty that Ilum got destroyed. At least Ossus and Tython are still there lol. For sure, more planets overall got destroyed in legends. Of course, destroying planets doesn't mean that your story is bad or anything. Sometimes it can be quite emotional for the reader, which is usually a good thing. I just hate it when the planet killers are overused, basically as simple shock factor. I was hoping we wouldn't have another superweapon in episode IX, but instead it was even worse. We got a WHOLE FLEET of them, smh.
I agree that planet killer devices are overused in Star Wars. The only time I can forgive it for working was with the First Order with Starkiller Base since the whole galaxy didn’t know about it & didn’t know if the base is still there or not that’s still ready to fire. And I wasn’t surprised that Ilum was destroyed since the First Order did use it for Starkiller Base due to it having Kyber Crystals & not many people knew where it was located. And I still agree that the Xyston Class Star Destroyer could’ve been executed differently without the mini Death Star type cannon.
@@FireheartSamurai Yeah, lore wise, the decision to make Ilum starkiller base actually makes sense. Being a planet powerful in the force, and having extensive amounts of kyber crystals, it would make sense for the Empire and later the FO to set up operations there.
The only problem I have with this (and it's really miniscule, kind of a little nitpick) is that, canonically, the diameter for Ilum is apparently now only 660 km... That's literally smaller than Ceres, and it's nowhere even close to being large enough to sustain an atmosphere or biosphere. I think this is because they're using the original measurements for starkiller base in TFA. It kinda leads me to believe that the decision to make Ilum Starkiller base actually happened after TFA came out. I know star wars is supposed to be soft science fiction, without many physics, or astronomy rules. But this is honestly just stupid 😆.
I find it funny that some of these were accidents. Like someone hit the wrong button or something. Just imagine staring at a planet being destroyed and the guy next to you just says "Oops..."
One was even destroyed by a prank gone wrong....
Especially the ones hit by hyperdrives.
This is good but wasn't Taris rendered uninhabitable after the with bombardment
Ct_leopold127 no the rakgouls ( i thinks that is how to spel it) still levied there so taris could support live.
That makes sense. It's been a while since KOTOR
Thomas Geltzer so did the tarisian outcasts but for a time
Ct_leopold127 nope Malak destroyed the surface but it was restored only a few years later and became a thriving hub of crime around the time of the second galactic civil war
Taris was rebuilt and by the time of the Clone Wars it was a city planet again.
"Forceror", I like it.
How are there even any planets left to live on in the Star Wars universe?
deltahalo241 there are 400 billion *systems* in the star wars galaxy. I think they're good
Kylo Ren not the ones that they got destroyed on....
WAY more planets than you think...
All I got from this video was how ridiculous and repetitive Legends got.
Batman Jr.
"episode 7 was so repetitive"... Beach you for real?
*****
Yet you fail to realise that it doesn't seem to matter, starkiller was a different way of destroying a planet... But does it matter? *Nup*
+Batman Jr. Looks like you just have a grudge against the EU. It's typical from people like you though. Only a few of the listed events were ridiculous and yet your brain registers them as all ridiculous. Don't know where you got repetitive from aside from them being in list format.
How is planets getting destroyed repetitive?
A Fat Warlord I think you answered that yourself when you said "planetS".
I always thought destroying an entire star system was a stupid thing about star wars. More destruction doesnt make the story more compelling bc you cant really describe its effects very well besides "its gone." I think the pollution and disease storylines are more realistic and poignant.
Another legends planet that was rendered uninhabitable was Kiva, which was said to have had all life on it wiped out by a massive energy pulse when an experiment went horribly wrong in the book Galaxy of Fear: Army of Terror
you forgot ziost
he also forgot Nathema :/
I was just about to mention both Ziost and Nathema.
And anaxes we see it in the Clone Wars reel as a Planet and in rebels the republic base there in season 1 in that asteroid belt. it supposedly was a geological event.
Seems he forgot some plants lol, :-P so dose anyone know if he likes swtor?
Ian Marshall he included the Uphrades system which was in the Jedi Knight storyline.
I originally came by to mention Nathema and Ziost, but it also occurred to me that Mandalore was devastated in canon. Most Legends stories (like the Karen Traviss books) make it seem lush, but in TCW it's a devastated wasteland, in which everyone lives in dome or cube cities.
There was a planet called N'Zoth? So what was named first, the planet or the Old God from Warcraft?
FrodoTheDodo
There’s also a planet called Balmorra. In the Elder Scrolls Arena, and The Elder Scrolls Morrowind there’s a city called Balmora. Obviously stolen from The Elder Scrolls, as the town was made up before the planet.
Crazy Bosmer Balmorra was made in the 90s
Jake Miles Ah but so was the first Elder Scrolls!
I'm surprised Taris and Telos aren't on the list of planets that were made uninhabitable. Both were destroyed via orbital bombardment by the Sith Fleet under orders from Saul Karath and Darth Malak, though Telos would be made partially habitable again by Citadel Station after the Jedi Civil War.
Every time i hear about the sun crusher, I get less angry at disney for resetting the canon
Now i see why Disney deleted the EU, they were only about eight planets left in it, and only three of thise were actually habitable. Boy those legend writers really had a thing for destroying planets
" i could be posible that the radiation caused significant damage"
Me: you mean it gave everyone *instantanious space cancer*
Kajimi:
Am I a joke to you
The next planet on this list:...
EARTH!
Cillian Brouder Will our Earth ever be featured in Star Wars?
Growlie26 it was in a legends comic
Cillian Brouder Coruscant could be the future Earth of this Galaxy.
Cillian Brouder Wait WHAT!
*death star comes*
Me: No you don't
*deflects laser into death star and death star blows up*
Me: HAHA
At the rate everything's going, I wouldn't be surprised...
A list on all the confirmed aliens in the Cantina/Jabba's palace/Maz's Castle would be so fun and good to know. There's loads of fun stuff in them like the two headed giraffe monster in Jabba's palace or the giant worm in Maz's Castle.
"You may fire when ready!" Tarkin
When you think about it, Star Wars is a really scary place.
This is why legends is pretty bad, because there were SO many planet killers and loads of planets were destroyed. It kind of makes the Death Star less unique which is a shame because a whole planet was destroyed and the fact so many were is just weird as it takes the impact out of it
What about geonosis which was sterilized by orbital bombardment ?
Doesn't count because it's still inhabitable. It's just not a lot of people are inhabiting it.
What if an Alien Race came to Earth with a Deathstar like weapon, how scary is that?
Flo Rian, aliens might think we are intelligent-at least, that is, before they find out what TH-cam, Reddit, and Tumblr are...
Interestingy very true! XD
If you are walking through a field, do you avoid stepping on weeds in your path?
Actually, there are some similarities between Ilum and Starkiller Base. First, they're both snow-covered. Second, they're both 660 km in diameter. Third, they're both from the Unknown Regions. Fourth, they're both from the 7G Sector. The only difference that I could find is that Starkiller Base has forests and Ilum doesn't have any confirmed forests.
Didn't the Yuuzhan Vong home world get destroyed by some Civil War?? And don't forget some moons of Geonosis were destroyed through some unknown reasons because Geonosis has a ring.
Edit: Don't Forget Lasan home of the Lasat, it got so bad it was uninhabitable by the home species. The had to go to Lear-Lasan afterwards as a new home.
A little update from BF2 (2017). Vardos. Operation Cinder made that planey inhabitable. (If it sounds mean, I'm sorry)
Couldn't you say Mandalore was a planet left in-hospitable due to war? As the mandalorians had to reside in doomed cities due to the planet being harsh which was said to be caused by war.
If creatures can live in it without atmospheric compensators, the world is still habitable in my eyes
Would whatever happened to Lola Sayu from The Clone Wars that caused it to be shattered like it is be counted? Most of the planet outside of The Citadel seems to be uninhabitable
Fun fact: Starkiller Base was indeed Ilum. When it exploded, it became a new star called Solo.
You forgot nathema and ziost, they were rendered uninhabitable by vitiate, they did eventually recover in the case of nathema but it took thousands of years
Now with the events of Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order (an amazing single-player game without micro-transactions), it's quite obvious that Starkiller Base was Ilum.....which makes it more tragic.
This is nothing compared to what Dragonball Super characters are capable of!
Ha Ha putting a death star laser on a star destroyer...who would wanna do that??...very unrealistic 2:48
I liked skarif
sad to see it got destroyed
8:05 so if sending a capital ship at light speed into a planet practically destroyed it why did no one ever do that? I know Hyperdrives had safeguards put in place to stop them if a gravity well was detected but, you could remove those.
Why more smugglers and the rebel alliance didn't make it so their ships could turn these features off with the flip of a switch is beyond me but whatever
You forgot about Medriaas/Nathema, which was destroyed by Tenebrae/Vitiate/Valkorion/The Sith Emperor when he lured many Sith Lords there before consuming them in a dark ritual that wiped out all life on the planet in 4999 BBY, one year after the Great Hyperspace War.
Nice
congrats for first
3 years later Jedi fallen order confirms Ilum theory
Would be interested to see a video that compiles all the information about Black Holes in the star wars universe. Which ones were the most reknown, what kind of impact black holes had on hyperspace routes, important events happening around them, etc.!
So Luke and Leia are Polas Masians?
