Palpatine hates them because, just like Yarael Poof, Palpatine ordered a calamari pizza but he didn't get one because Mon Calamari are people and he didn't know that
The Mon Calamari are basically the usually quiet painter who turns into the incarnation of hell and wrath after somebody went and destroyed the painting they were working on.
He actually loved going to Mon Cala to watch the performances. Main reason he didn’t base delta zero it. Tons of source material on him and why he actually liked the planet
Seriously thank you guys for the AMAZINGLY ENTERTAINING Star Wars content!! Disney completely trashed what Star Wars was but all the lore videos you guys make have me rewatching the prequel trilogy over and over because there’s soooooo much more to appreciate after knowing all the details not told on screen!! Thanks again!!!!
Mon Calamari were everything Palpatine wasn't. Noble,kind,honest,good and hard working. Always helping others. They joined the Rebellion,fought the Empire,against tyranny and darkness. I like Mon Cala planet name😊May the Force be with you too😊
One instance you forgot is that the Mon Calamari were also on the CIS side, and were sabotaging the CIS's image as the bad guys by actually fighting in behalf of the will of the people. Thus, he had Dooku send one of their best pilots and heroes on a wild goose chase to destroy a shield generator on Kamino that didn't actually exist. There, the heroic pilot met their end at the hands of dozens of Jedi pilots, which destroyed Mon Calamari moral for the war.
Remember when Jeffrey Dahmer explained that before every killing he watched The Exorcist III as "it got him in the mood?" Well ... 'the ballet' was Palpatine's equivalent :)
Well, to be fair, Palpatine hated everyone. He actually wasn't xenophobic or anything like that. The only reason why he discriminated non-humans was political profit. If the galaxy is xenophobic, they will blame the aliens, not him.
7:32 that failed because he let Luke Skywalker get the encryption codes for the World Devastator fleet. And he only let Luke Skywalker take command of them because (and I paraphrase) "so long as he thinks he can win, I've already won" 8:35 Ackbar used to be captive and servant to Tarkin. He recognized it was a tactic of his immediately. Star Destroyers were set loose on various targets, but one of them was hiding a moon, and would attack the city while planetary forces were engaged with them. He was able to see it with cameras. He took remote control of a capital ship under construction, and kamikazed it into that SD that was hiding. By then, New Republic reinforcements arrived and Daala, being one, whole SD down, had to retreat.
Palpatine: "I want fish sticks Vader hit some more Mon Calamari with your lightsaber and use a normal sword to cut off the chard overly cooked parts I hate when you overcook my fish sticks!"
Without Mon Cala, I often think there would be no Republic fleet & without the Republic fleet, there is no Rebellion. 😍🤩 I kind of hoped that Mon Cala received a special commendation as a planet for their contributions to the Rebellion. Like Alderaan was once a peaceful world, full of arts and culture, it was a beacon for the Old Republic and why the Empire had to destroy it.
"evil is a matter of point of view" _______________________________ It's funny how the greatest truths almost always come out of the mouths of villains. It's also good to clarify that Palpatine is loyal to humans and trusts only humans and doesn't like aliens so during his empire only humans rule and it's an empire of humans.
@@dark_king6512 Palpatine is not really xenophobic, he only pretends to be because it benefits him. His highest ranked inner cicle member is alien (Mas Amedda)
@@Morgunth86 Emperor does not like Xeno. You read the original scripts and you will understand why the original Star Wars Empire was run 100% by humans and had no xenos except for bounty hunters who were hired to search for Skylocker and Solo.
For a guy who expertly out maneuvered the Jedi, the Republic, The Speratists, and even his closest allies, the guy was a miserable idiot when it came to actually holding the power he obtained. As soon as he transitioned from the respected face of the Republic, into the despotic leader of the empire, he immediately set forth the seeds of his own undoing. Had he continued to play his enemies against one another and sew discourse in ways that required his support and intervention as a leader, he could've maintained a relatively unified level of good public standing, while still doing his Sith shit from the shadows. Instead though, he opted to go the route of the typical tyrant, and tried to force his rule through military might and fear. All that did was put a massive target on his back, and foster resolve in his enemies. Not even a Sith lord can stand against the entire galaxy, and that's exactly what happened to him.
I think palpatine just envied the other alien species because they lived longer than humans and that probably made him mad. I’m sure that’s not the truth but it wouldn’t surprise seeing how he wanted to live forever.
And then Disney thought it would be a great idea to just off Admiral Ackbar off screen for no other reason than, "ey, remember that name?, we said the name".
I'm coming in here not watching the video just because the click bait title. Tired of it for Sidious or any Sith. They're Sith hating things is kinda their thing and the biggest hater, Palpatine, should just hate and fear everything. Dont need an explanation for it or anything. The fact that he is THE sith lord who's power is derived from hate and fear it should be obvious he hates everything with a passion.
Would be crazy if he took a powerful force-sensitive Mon Calamari as an apprentice to let his hate fuel and forge a darkside hate filled Sith successor at least as powerful as himself!
Wasn't a big fan of Dark Empire - because every other page - every time you turn around the empire had something bigger - more powerful ships. It got a little much. However, I will say I did like the Devastators, I thought that was a clever weapon.
Its like the Force made its own counter attack species specifically that way specifically in case dark side user got power and things got outta hand. Rebels would have had a WAY harder time without em. Might not have even won.
I can see that attitude in Ahkbar and Raddus, Raddus was hella down to go get those plans then blow up the death star,he backed up Jynn and The Rouge One Crew and was not scared by what was revealed ,like u said if anything,made him and his men wanna take the fight to them! It was that kinda will that kept the Rebellion alive
No wonder Admiral Ackbar made such a good Admiral for the Rebellion. I already respected him because of his leadership and his tactical brilliance, but now I have an even bigger respect for him and his people
Well yeah. They were the reason the rebellion was so successful. Take a star destroyer , with their full complement, and put them up against a liberty class cruiser, and their full complement. And there’s a good 70-80% chance that the liberty class cruiser comes out on top. Because even tho a star destroyer have more powerful lasers and shields. Not only was the liberty a close second. But it can hold the same number of Starfighters as a standard ISD complement. And I don’t have to tell u who would win between 72 tie fighters and 72 a wings or X wings.
@@frenzalrhomb6919 It's an addon. As TH-cam quite literally made a pact to save companies, mainly Disney, from people seeing just how shitty their ratio was.
Ha in some ways they remind me of people that believe in something bigger than themselves and you cant mentally destroy a group of people that are truly that way aka even the islamic terrorists believe in their cause to that degree but their problem is that they will destroy anyone else that does not believe their way an only their way alone
To me the motivation doesn’t sound as deep or “valid,” cause it sounds like the Mon Cala didn’t do much aside from silent protests and resisting him, which doesn’t sound any different from the rebel alliance or other planets that resisted him. Am I missing something?
Yes, sidious through his hatred and loathing, commit a massive error, atypical of tyrants and turned the mon cal from a sleeping giant into the main stay of the rebellion and later new republic military, particularly when it came to their leadership and capital ships. Providing them with exact5ly the means to become an enemy, capable of defeating and overthrowing the empire.
So, in a way, the Mon Calamari are like the Bajorans of Star Trek: once a peaceful people who appreciated art and culture, but years of slavery and oppression turned them militaristic, with prominent members of their race eventually playing a key role in a war for the freedom of the galaxy from tyrannical overlords.
Not even close. Bajorans were never a major military, manufacturing, economic power. Mon Cal had the largest orbital ship yards in the galaxy. Bajorans were a religious artistic people that were conquered.
@@firefly9838 I've seen all of DS9. Bajor was largely spared the Dominion's wrath, because Sisko convinced them to not join the Federation at the last second, thus allowing them to remain neutral during the Dominion War. Had they joined the Federation as they originally planned, they would have been the Dominion's first target once the war began.

Seems like the Mon Calamari gave people hope. Something Palpatine was actively trying to extinguish.

and they would kill the calamari and any non-humans if they could Notice the lack of aliens in the newer movies?
Mon Calamari are probably my favourite Star Wars race. Nice to see a video on them.

Impeccable at spotting traps
Because of their tendency to know and acknowledge when things are a trap

Plenty of room! no I’d rather not have my robes smell like a fillet of fish all day… … That’s hurtful man. Well just let it go..
Well, maybe he'd be more tolerant if they didn't make his robes smell like a filet-o-fish.
Palpatine pretty much hates everything
They were always my fav species when I was a kid.
He is the acolyte.
You left out the One Sith using a Leviathan to wipe out the Calamari.
He and Lovecraft were friends because they both were freaked out by Fishmen and HATED them. Fricking Deep Ones, man.

With all the ships they made, they had to be racking in the doe. 🤔😐
