It's not a "wasteland". It's more just very rural and remote. Think Wyoming or Alaska. Alaska has Anchorage (which isn't exactly a SMALL city), but is MOSTLY rural and spread out. It's also far from most non-Anchorage civilization, meaning it's out of the way for people to travel on business or pleasure, and far from government reach. There are even many planets and civilizations that have not even been charted, where there could be plants and civilizations like us on Earth that aren't part of it all. I know it's a Galaxy far, far away, but if the Milky Way was like the Star Wars Galaxy, Sol/Earth would probably be in either the Outer Rim or the far reaches of the Mid Rim. I mean, there could be a "Galactic Republic" in the Milky Way that neither knows of Earth nor us know of them for thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years. Warhammer 40k, if I recall correctly, has a similar situation with many of the old Earth's colonies cut off from the rest for eons (granted, the reason is different, but the "lost/not part of the Imperium" worlds is comparable.) You note when they were settled, but consider that there ARE also independent civilizations out there, and have even been moderate sized empires. The Hutts being just one. And for people that like a "simple", rural life - not just criminals, but just simple folks that don't like oppressive government - places like the Outer Rim/Alaska/Wyoming/etc are attractive options.
Ironically, in reality the core is about the last place you would expect sentient life to arise. Too much radiation, stars too close together for stable planetary systems, abundance of novas. etc.
Do you love peace and prosperity? Then we need YOU to do your part in the empire, buy imperial war bonds and or go to your nearest imperal enlistment station and join the imperial navy NOW
@@LocestSwarmSC831 Core vs Outer Rim very much does seem like the US's urban vs rural in several ways, just like it can be made with first world vs third world nations, etc etc

Looking at a map of the galaxy, naboo sits between two hyperspace lanes and the the one to its east has tatooine on it. Naboo is right next to the outerrim and tatooine is right next to the mid rim
Makes me think of how the Imperium in 40k is so unstable; it's too damned big for its own good. It's hard to knit together a few hundred worlds into a coalition, let along hundreds of thousands, if not millions, especially when communication and travel between them can range between days, weeks, months, or even years. You could jump to any random system, find the local populated world, and then immediately jump to a nearby star system to discover the populated system there is entirely different. One might be a factory world, dedicated to manufacturing goods for the local sector, while the second might be a colony world -- surrounded by populated systems -- that no one has visited in 500 years because it was left off the starcharts by accident 600 years ago when an intern sneezed while typing. Entire worlds lost or forgotten by the slip of a pen or the backspace button on a computer.
The original center of civilization is near the core of the galaxy. While the Hutts who are crime lords ended up being the biggest power in the outer rim so they helped turn it into a bit of a criminal hot spot in addition to the distances
Outer Rim always has a lot of potential but I’m mostly fascinated by the Unknown Reaches. I’d love to see it more fleshed out and see a really in depth history of the Chriss and all the worlds they conquered / interacted with on film

The outer rim of Star Wars is very interesting to learn more about. It is truly like the Wild West of USA. This is why the show The Mandalorian can work well.
Could you do a video on why boba fett is still on Tatooine, and on what maybe happened to the Slave 1? I feel like a lot of people have questions about that including me, and I think a lot of people would really enjoy it

The outer rim reminds me of the south west pacific ocean in real life. As big as it is people dont cross iinto it, they stick to the known shipping lanes
Hey EckhartsLadder, love the videos. This is what I have learned when talking about the Star Wars universe: The New Republic (NR) has a standing military (Army, Air Force ,Navy), but it cannot be everywhere at once. The NR has to rely on local system governments to police their own territories and maintain the peace. The Outer Rim is far enough away from the Core and resources that are more available to inner systems; in effect it is the wild west in these systems for people to experience run-ins with slavers, pirates, Imperial Warlords, invading species from Unknown Regions. So, yeah, Outer Rim life is harsh and unforgiving.
How would Palpatine right after Phantom Menace do in the Warhammer 40k universe? Would he be able to achieve a position of power through either his political skill or for be powers? Or would he be destroyed easily since the Warhammer universe is so much stronger than the Star Wars universe? #askeck

If he landed on a feudal or feral or savage world he probably be worshipped do to his Force sensitive abilities. Beyond a planetary governor of I don't know.

Vader and Palpatine are some of the very few people from Star Wars who can absolutely thrash areas in 40k Universe, with both being human, it wouldn't be difficult for them to establish themselves either. Same with Valkorian.
I personally think there are 3 main criteria for a planet to be developed and prosperous in the Star Wars Galaxy. 1. Proximity to main hyperspace lanes- This is one of the most important criteria because having a location close to the hyperlanes gave you easy access to trade with the rest of the known Galaxy. You can have all the resources in the Galaxy but if your planet is far away from main hyperspace lanes it would be very risky and dangerous to export goods and services off your planet. 2 Natural resources or innovative technology- Having high demand resources like bacta, plasma or tibanna gas is very helpful to bring an influx of credits and wealth to your planet which can be used to fund better infrastructure and overall a higher standard of living for the citizens living in the planet. If a planet lacked natural resources, a planet can still be rich by developing high demand technology such as Star ships and droids that are competitive in the galactic market which is what Corellia and Kuat did for their economy. 3. Hospitable environment of the planet- A planet can have a lot of natural resources and have easy access to main hyperspace lanes but if the planet has an inhospitable terrain, for example like Tatooine it would be very difficult to develop and encourage people to settle in the planet since the environment is undesirable for people to live in.
Dude if you don't have enough credits to buy a Speeder then there's no way your going to get enough fuel for your Hyperdrive to get a star tan on Mon Cala!
1:15 But since they have re-written how long it takes to get anywhere in hyperspace, that doesn't make sense anymore. When it used to be that getting from Tattooine to Alderaan was about a week in hyperspace, then sending reinforcements to the outer rim would be pointless because the crime is long done, but nowadays you can get from any point in the galaxy to another in a matter of hours if not minutes.
0:54 the answer is money. Sets, extras, CGI, a waste land with few people and simple backgrounds is WAY less work than realistic science fiction city movie scenes.
A large swath of the galaxy flanked by two of the largest hyperspace trade routes, noteworthy for its lack of major trade routes and thus being more poor then most regions. Most of the events in the Outer Rim are there.
I have this theory that the Imperial Remnants and later the Fel Empire massive expansion post the Second Galactic Civil Wars in Star Wars Legends was due to mixture of resentment towards the Core from Outer Rim worlds for refusing to send serious military response to their territory during the initial Yuuzang Vong invasion and therefore suffering the longest occupation of the war, and that these worlds believed that they would gain greater promise within the Empire rather remain with the Galactic Alliance, as Bastion would invest heavily in any new world that could increase the Remnants more limited resources.
The problem is that in Star Wars you never really get a sense of how long it takes to from point A to point B, the impression that is given is that that many ships can go thousand of light years in a few hours! you can go from one sector of the galaxy to another in a day. It should not be a hassle to send police forces and fleets on patrol routs. Another thing that has bugged me about the Star Wars Universe is the utter lack of mass communication, There is a Holonet but it's like no one really uses it.
Everything goes back to the nationalization that the Empire did. They made the Holonet the one-in-all system plus they made sure you paid extra to send a message home. Under the Empire and the early years of the New Republic, Holonet was expensive to use. The communication got better with 80 percent of the star systems setting up Holonet or having access to Holonet and other intergalactic communication towards the Core around 40 ABY+. Most backwater planets or systems still had issues. Also the books cover the hyperspace travel pretty well. When Luke Skywalker was sentence to Exile, it was covered that they took three weeks to travel from point A to Point B.
#askeck how many Super Star Destroyers did the New Republic capture in Legends and is there a list of their names? Plz include both Executor and other classes Versus request: Resurgent vs. Starhawk Tie Striker vs. New Republic V-Wing World Devastator vs. Vong Worldship Tie Silencer vs. X-83 Twintail Tie Silencer vs. Tie Defender (legends version)
Historically an empire has had its maximum extent limited to however far from the capital one can reach after a year of travel. This is why Rome and China never went to war despite being aware of each other.
@@CobraRedstone Roman senators saw China as future land to be integrated, and they both saw the Persians as a mutual enemy, communication abilities was probably the only reason the two didn't team up against Persia.
"Roman senators saw China as future land to be integrated" Come on, whether anyone actually said this or not is irrelevant. It's simply and plainly impossible.
The outer rim, like Wyoming in the electoral college, actually over represented. We are CONSTANTLY getting outer rim content with The Mandalorian and the last 3 Star Wars films. Honestly we need to go back to the core, too much screen time for the outer rim.
I love thee analysis of Star Wars like the economy and stuff like that which you know not many people pay attention to but it's really amazing when you get to world building. In the USA I can think of a similar event which has happened. A long time ago there used to be a highway called Route 66 and it was one of the main transportation paths for the new invention of the car. And all along it very very small towns popped up became very prosperous. That is until a new interstate Federal Highway System came along, and the city's that happened to be along this path grew up to be super prosperous why all the cities on the 66 path tended to slowly die out. I happen to live in New Mexico which has both I-40 and Route 66 very close to each other. And they both became very prosperous along that route because you know the more people coming through the more trade and the more Commerce happens. Meanwhile the few towns that were not close to I-40 but on 66 started to slowly fade away and lose the majority of their population. Nowadays it is a vacation road trip to go along Highway 66 so it is a little bit better now but many of the town's lost their glow and have a lot of problems and just overall poverty and a lot of crime. Kind of crazy. It's also really neat how this is put into Star Wars. again thanks for all of your awesome videos I really love the crap out of this stuff!
3:23 Kamino, Ukio, and Rishi’s location is way off. We know the Rishi Maze is located almost directly north and the Abrion Sector (Rishi, Ukio, and in canon, scarif) were galactic north-northeast and Kamino was between Abrion and the Rishi Maze.
Hey @eckhartsladder I've been following you for a few years and I just wanted to ask if you'd consider doing a reapers vs flood vs video. Like if the reapers invaded a section of space (maybe a good amount of star systems controlled by the flood) would they be succumb to the flood or could a grave mind be indoctrinated? If it's too much what do you think at least?

Not all parts of the Outer Rim was that bad in fact the wealthiest planet Munnilist and it’s vault colony Mygeeto was located in the outer rim and was so wealthy it backed the entire currency of galactic credits along with other galactic currencies reaching fire fist which was satellite galaxy. Eridau was also a prominent and wealthy planet located in the outer rim.
Based on the new canon lore, the Outer Rim wasn't the only place that the Republic forgot about. Even Coruscant itself, the most populated planet in the galaxy, literally fell into disrepair and subsequently a massive gang war that basically ruined the planet. It kinda seems like the New Republic was so obsessed with removing any Imperial influence in the galaxy, they purposefully neglected Coruscant and other core worlds, that had served the Empire. But then at the same time, the NR also forgets about the outer rim. Pretty much the whole galaxy was messed up under the New Republic. Honestly, maybe it was a good thing the NR fell. If you're gonna let the most prestigious core worlds fall into disrepair, then you don't even deserve to govern.
Halo video videa What if the UNSC had never researched the spartan 2 or mjolnir programs. However one month after first contact with the covenant the UNSC INFINITY and her escort fleet of Autumn class cruisers appear at earth through a wormhole. The ships are fully operational and have manuals detailing how all ship systems, such as shielding and more advanced slipsace, operate and also how to build them for other ships. However it does not have the spartan 4s. How does this affect the human covenant war? Does humanity win or lose? #askeck

It's basically the US (or really any large country with coast plus large interior) turned inside out. The center is where everything is concentrated for easy transit, the edge is flyover country. Or rather, never fly over country.
Hyperspace routes a kinda like the railroad system of 19th century America where one town could flourish if the road goes through the town but a town it passes would die off from lack of commerce.

The problem is that in Star Wars you never really get a sense of how long it takes to from point A to point B, the impression that is given is that that many ships can go thousand of light years in a few hours! you can go from one sector of the galaxy to another in a day. It should not be a hassle to send police forces and fleets on patrol routs.
Another thing that has bugged me about the Star Wars Universe is the utter lack of mass communication, There is a Holonet but it's like no one really uses it.
It takes about 3 months to cross the galaxy with a .1 hyerdrive
Everything goes back to the nationalization that the Empire did. They made the Holonet the one-in-all system plus they made sure you paid extra to send a message home. Under the Empire and the early years of the New Republic, Holonet was expensive to use. The communication got better with 80 percent of the star systems setting up Holonet or having access to Holonet and other intergalactic communication towards the Core around 40 ABY+. Most backwater planets or systems still had issues. Also the books cover the hyperspace travel pretty well. When Luke Skywalker was sentence to Exile, it was covered that they took three weeks to travel from point A to Point B.
#askeck how many Super Star Destroyers did the New Republic capture in Legends and is there a list of their names? Plz include both Executor and other classes
Versus request:
Resurgent vs. Starhawk
Tie Striker vs. New Republic V-Wing
World Devastator vs. Vong Worldship
Tie Silencer vs. X-83 Twintail
Tie Silencer vs. Tie Defender (legends version)
The outer rim is just the ghetto of the Galaxy tbh.
And the rural areas too.
You damn Core World snobs!
Historically an empire has had its maximum extent limited to however far from the capital one can reach after a year of travel. This is why Rome and China never went to war despite being aware of each other.
And that's why Britain controlled so much of the world when they did.
>implying the reason for not going to war is that simplistic
@@CobraRedstone Roman senators saw China as future land to be integrated, and they both saw the Persians as a mutual enemy, communication abilities was probably the only reason the two didn't team up against Persia.
"Roman senators saw China as future land to be integrated"
Come on, whether anyone actually said this or not is irrelevant. It's simply and plainly impossible.
@@CobraRedstone Uh, yeah, that's kind of the point of my original post
I feel like there should be an outer rim game styled after a game like Borderlands
The outer rim, like Wyoming in the electoral college, actually over represented. We are CONSTANTLY getting outer rim content with The Mandalorian and the last 3 Star Wars films. Honestly we need to go back to the core, too much screen time for the outer rim.
Sounds like a great place to create your own mini-galactic alliance.
I love thee analysis of Star Wars like the economy and stuff like that which you know not many people pay attention to but it's really amazing when you get to world building. In the USA I can think of a similar event which has happened. A long time ago there used to be a highway called Route 66 and it was one of the main transportation paths for the new invention of the car. And all along it very very small towns popped up became very prosperous. That is until a new interstate Federal Highway System came along, and the city's that happened to be along this path grew up to be super prosperous why all the cities on the 66 path tended to slowly die out. I happen to live in New Mexico which has both I-40 and Route 66 very close to each other. And they both became very prosperous along that route because you know the more people coming through the more trade and the more Commerce happens. Meanwhile the few towns that were not close to I-40 but on 66 started to slowly fade away and lose the majority of their population. Nowadays it is a vacation road trip to go along Highway 66 so it is a little bit better now but many of the town's lost their glow and have a lot of problems and just overall poverty and a lot of crime. Kind of crazy. It's also really neat how this is put into Star Wars. again thanks for all of your awesome videos I really love the crap out of this stuff!
3:23 Kamino, Ukio, and Rishi’s location is way off. We know the Rishi Maze is located almost directly north and the Abrion Sector (Rishi, Ukio, and in canon, scarif) were galactic north-northeast and Kamino was between Abrion and the Rishi Maze.
Hey @eckhartsladder I've been following you for a few years and I just wanted to ask if you'd consider doing a reapers vs flood vs video. Like if the reapers invaded a section of space (maybe a good amount of star systems controlled by the flood) would they be succumb to the flood or could a grave mind be indoctrinated? If it's too much what do you think at least?
Nobody ever forgets about the outer ring. Everyone hides out on Tattoine when they need to lay low.
#ShipVersus ideas:
Resurgent battlecruiser vs Starhawk Mark II battlecruiser
MC80a Liberty type vs MC80a Home One type
Arquitens light cruiser vs Carrack light cruiser
Have you seen the Outer Rim? I'd try to repress it too
I love the title
All my Americans talking about yee yee ass states when Canada is empty af right above us
Not all parts of the Outer Rim was that bad in fact the wealthiest planet Munnilist and it’s vault colony Mygeeto was located in the outer rim and was so wealthy it backed the entire currency of galactic credits along with other galactic currencies reaching fire fist which was satellite galaxy. Eridau was also a prominent and wealthy planet located in the outer rim.
What is that scene at the end from with the Moncala cruiser?
I actually like these types of videos 🙂
Y did Disney copyright ur episode 6 review video ):
Beacuse Disney is Disney
Disney does Disney things
Just like real life...
Cities tend to be built near water trade routes... Simple 👍
Did you guys know that Earth is in the outer rim of the Milky Way? We are one of these POS planets
Since your back will the one Star war table top series continue
It sounds like a good place to go if you're looking to live for yourself.
Vs matchup Sgt. Johnson(Halo) vs Captain Rex(Star Wars)
Johnson because technically he is a Spartan
THE OUTTER RIM SUCKS!
Yes... yes it does.
The Outer Rim is the Afghanistan of Star Wars. It's a graveyard of galactic nation-states who died trying to conquer it.
Based on the new canon lore, the Outer Rim wasn't the only place that the Republic forgot about. Even Coruscant itself, the most populated planet in the galaxy, literally fell into disrepair and subsequently a massive gang war that basically ruined the planet. It kinda seems like the New Republic was so obsessed with removing any Imperial influence in the galaxy, they purposefully neglected Coruscant and other core worlds, that had served the Empire. But then at the same time, the NR also forgets about the outer rim. Pretty much the whole galaxy was messed up under the New Republic. Honestly, maybe it was a good thing the NR fell. If you're gonna let the most prestigious core worlds fall into disrepair, then you don't even deserve to govern.
Halo video videa What if the UNSC had never researched the spartan 2 or mjolnir programs. However one month after first contact with the covenant the UNSC INFINITY and her escort fleet of Autumn class cruisers appear at earth through a wormhole. The ships are fully operational and have manuals detailing how all ship systems, such as shielding and more advanced slipsace, operate and also how to build them for other ships. However it does not have the spartan 4s. How does this affect the human covenant war? Does humanity win or lose? #askeck
The Outer Rim is forgotten, yet most of the planets we see in Star Wars content are in the outer rim.
One of many reasons I hate sequel trilogy is the lack of any city setting.
F*ck disney!!
Geonosis .. is my favorite planet ... all those factories, tunnel and space station ...with some work ... will made a great Base Planet
6:47 What movie is this
Battle of the Dreadnoughts
Oh, far away from the lights of Courscant,
In a place where laws are clearly too scant,
Join a crew, grab a brew, it's the damn, outer rim.
It's full of pirates, Sith, and bounties,
Tax evaders hiding from the county,
Join a crew, grab a brew, it's the damn, outer rim.
We're stuck in Rim Territory,
Oh no! Oh yeah!
Ain't too much more than whores and war,
But at least you're out the Inner Core,
Far away, far away, out in Rim ter-ri-tory,
Far away, our way, out in Rim ter-ri-tory.
There's Hutts and Nuts, and some stray Jedi,
Farmer boys playin' Womp Rat Bullseye,
Come to harm, lose an arm,
Out in rim, territory!
Just bring your armies, bring your treasure,
We'll drain it all at our own leasure,
Right away! Far away!
Out in Rim, territory.
Were stuck in Rim Territory,
Oh no! Oh yeah!
Ain't too much more than whores and war,
But at least you're out the Inner Core
Far away, far away, out in Rim ter-ri-tory,
Far away, our way, out in Rim ter-ri-tory!
-altered from Periphery Dixie.
Gotta love periphery Dixie, I wonder if we can get Eck to cover battletech?
It's basically the US (or really any large country with coast plus large interior) turned inside out. The center is where everything is concentrated for easy transit, the edge is flyover country. Or rather, never fly over country.
IM SENDING YOU TO THE MUSTIFAR SYSTEM IN THE OUTER RIM, YOU WILL BE SAFE THERE.
People who play blade and sorcery when they see the title: So you have chosen death
The Outer Rim sounds like the basis for The Belt in The Expanse. Lots of similarities.
The outer rim is like Afghanistan. Every great empire and petty warlord wants a piece of it, until they realise how much of a hassle it is.
They forgot about it on purpose. They want to keep it as a “spooky mystery” 👻 👻👻 lol 😆
What? What's with the emojis to?
Uhhh ghosts. Spooky? Mystery? The outer rim is spooky and mysterious. 😁
Hyperspace routes a kinda like the railroad system of 19th century America where one town could flourish if the road goes through the town but a town it passes would die off from lack of commerce.
