- The Jedi Order in the Acolyte features Jedi that are unique because of their xeno racial backgrounds. We take a look at why its strange for these races to join the Jedi Order and what it probably says about the High Republic Jedi Order.

You don’t need to say “looked nothing like the cartoons” when talking about The Grand Inquisitor, because we already saw his species properly displayed in live action in Revenge of the Sith. And he looked nothing like his own species.
Too many Darkside cookies
It would've been so cool to see a revenge of the sith style grand inquisitor costume in action scenes. Probably a pain to move around with that on. But it would've made him incredibly intimidating.
I have chosen to think Pau'ans have racial groups. Live Action Grand Inquisitor would get side-eyed by the Port Administrator's type for being a "Smooth Face".
That's always bugged the hell outta me. The Utapoauian (misspelled) that Obi Wan meets amd asks for fuel was a thousand times creepier than the Grand Inquisitor we got in Obi Wan Kenobi miniseries.
The Klingons are shaking the Grand Inquisitors hand right now. Another changed alien species. At least it’s only this once.
In my head canon, most force sensitive Wookies become tribal shaman, not Jedi. It's not worth the risk to grab force sensitive Wookies when they lose 3 Jedi to the forest on the way. Wookies are a lightside culture, Jedi don't need to keep them down.
lmao i love this
Gee, it's almost like Jedi stealing children is a stupid meme or something.
@@mpnuorvawell no. The Jedi do definitely steal babies lol
I’d get behind this. We know that they leave some force organizations alone for either political or ideological reasons so them leaving shamanic Wookiees be seems more than plausible
@@uncivilized_caveman they really dont. It's a meme but they very rarely actually took kids without parental permission. More often than not the parents had to contact the Jedi in the first place. The only times they really took kids without permission or against their will (still not ok) was during the New Sith Wars, and most of those kids were orphans
As for the minimal appearance of aliens in SW: Andor, isn't the Empire supposed to be 'humanocentric'... 'anti-alien'?...
Good point
That's not supposed to be everywhere. And we are dealing with the rise of the Rebellion, who used many aliens and droids.
@@ericp1139true, but most of the interaction in Andor was on empire controlled worlds.. also in legends, humans provided the backbone on the Rebel military. Look to the original movies.
@@rtyler1869 the Rebellion needed Mon Calamari for their ships, Bothans for their spy network, Ewoks on Endor, etc. Half the OG gang were aliens or droids.
The Empire being humanocentric was an early Legends concept that was basically written out by George Lucas in the prequel trilogy. Even at the end of Revenge of the Sith when Palpatine has pretty much everything he wants, he still has two non-human aids with him that are the same two we've seen for a long time. Palpatine doesn't think humans are better than everyone else, he just thinks he's better than everyone else.
As a brazilian this concept is fairly easily for me to understand: your blood means nothing behaviour-wise and you have nothing to do with other people's actions. Be a good person and you're more than welcome among us!
I can live by those ideals
Ooh boy😅😅 everyone knows the racial discrimination done by BOPE on anyone in favelas of Rio de Janeiro etc etc . Maybe just maybe only the Brazilian army SF sees skills of others. Except them you all are racial nevermind
Ora ora ora. Outro brazuca? 🧐
@@MCsCreations ora ora ora, não sei se meus olhos me enganam, mas vejo aqui um saudoso compatriota 💪🇧🇷
100% in agreement. It's not the substance of your skin, but the sweetness/sourness of your soul. Peace!
I m not against an alien invasion, as long as they are twileks.
Like tentacles huh 🤣
@@GenerationTech likey lickey lekku
Nah, Zeltrons is where it’s at
Female ones
@emperorpalpatine66 Oh from Marvel comics in 80s. I remember those purple beauties!
You know what else, I think she’s a hybrid of a Zygerrian and a Zabrak, given the horns and minor stripes around them.
Zygerrians do have small horns since clone wars
@@user-cd8ke3it3w on their chins, not their heads
@@user-cd8ke3it3w Are you sure? I checked images of other Zygerrians, and it seems like Tasi Lowa’s a unique member of the Race.
Good explination and one that further complicates the backstory.
@@sirfishe9949 females have horns on their heads
A possible head canon idea for a zygarrien jedi.
Since the zygarriens hated the jedi so much, a force sensitive child would have been an embarrassment or disgrace to their family, and cause for contempt.
This zygarrien jedi would have just been fortunate enough to have parents who loved her enough to give her to the jedi
Dooku kind of had a similar pathway to the order if I remember correctly
Zygerrians enslaved their own, do not forget. It's possible this girl was born to slaves who would eagerly hand over their child to Jedi.
There is also a Trandosian jedi in the high republic comics, I think it’s cool when the less commonly “good guy” species become Jedi learners/ Knights
ah yeah i remember he was cool in the drengir plot line
Woah. That's interesting. Not the alien I would think to join the jedi haha
Jedi had every race a Hutt Jedi, an Ansashi, Trandoshian, even a Dug.
In some ways, there are sometimes members of a species who don't agree with it. We often see this in Star Trek with a character like the Ferengi, Nog, and several other species that aren't UFP signatories, but apply to Starfleet anyway as they see it as a good opportunity or agree with their principles even if their overall culture doesn't. I can see plenty of cases where there may be those of a species who don't agree with their government and have a force sensitive child that they happily give away to the Jedi to get that kid away from their culture. Plus, let's be honest, the Jedi had seldom cared who they abduct to become a youngling as long as they were force sensitive, as they will grab them at an age where they will not have formed their own cultural ties and will instead have the Jedi culture forced onto them. There are likely plenty of human bad fits in the Jedi order working in the agri-corps or some other mundane area simply to make sure they aren't running loose. The Jedi are in the brainwashing child soldiers business, so they would care very little where you came from as long as you are force sensitive and not from a dark side culture. Slavers may be immoral, but that doesn't make them dark siders.
I always figured Wookiees are at least as prone to force sensitivity as other species. But their connection is more intuitive/ less dogmatic than the Jedi, who would fail to notice any kid not conspicuously floating building blocks around their crib.
To be fair, Kenobi wasn't really putting up a fight. His job was to distract that particular Zygerrian while Anakin and Ahsoka disabled the weapons (don't remember at this time what those weapons were).
that is true
I think they were giant bombs placed around a civilian town
thats true...but it still isn't an easy feat to toss a Jedi like flipping a pancake. :)
Nicholas Mayer was not a Star Trek fan, but gave us Wrath of Khan and Undiscovered Country. As long as you respect the source material, it might even be better not to have ‘fan baggage’
Is that all? He gave us arguably the BEST Trek film but he wasn't a fan?
The Nemodians looked INCREDIBLE. Whoever was in charge of that: a million praises.. and then a million more.
Too bad they sounded goofy
@@westlapier5762 but they are all sound goofy , in movie and anime show
The no Wookie jedi rule could have been a way to reduce a problem with Wookies showing up everywhere.
good point remember when chewie and han randomly showed up in middle of death trooper novel, while the main characters were in the middle of a zombie apocalypse on a derelict star destroyer
How soon they forgot about Tyvokka and Gungi, I think this rule was something more from 80’s-90’s than the past 2 decades.
@@GenerationTechBook was straight Dead Space horror up until Han introduced himself, then it became less scary now that I knew mainline characters were present in the book.
@@Star_Wars_With_PercyMan So true, or it could be that Wookie Jedi only become rare within the Order when they have VERY HIGH Force Sensitivity, that's why there are so few Wookie Jedi.
Plus during the Padawan arc in TCW, it's said that Wookie Jedi are rare. So they happen, but not that often. So 2 Wookie Jedi ~200 years apart are fitting for me
The fact you're aware of the economic negatives of slavery and point that out too is based. Way too many people get comfortable hiding behind the micro-econ particulars of the individual owners.
That introduction to Kelnacca makes me think that he and Jolee Bindo would have been fast friends and would have plenty of tea parties complaining about all the kids who keep showing up in their yards XD
Yeeeees 😁🙂 This should be sent to Leslye so she can have a good smile 🙂
Jecki Lon is great. Dafne Keen is yet another example of the stellar acting cast of The Acolyte. She manages to convey Jecki Lon's youth, dogmatism, intellect, and inner warmth, all without seeming contradictory.
It's a good cast. The writing is amateur at best.
😂😂😂
@@slosubies4845 Sadly there's some accuracy to this. The writing isn't as bad as most haters make it out to be and in reality it's overall good, but this is Disney, this is Star Wars, it shouldn't have a bunch of stupid obvious mistakes in the first two episodes.
Right now I'm hopeful it reaches a level similar to the Fallout show. The Fallout show has some absolutely atrocious writing and CGI that would have looked bad in the 80s, which is even worse on a rewatch, but it's still great fun and that is the point of television.
The Acolyte at least has enough intrigue and thought going into it that it's actually better on a rewatch, so I remain determinedly hopeful for now.
I'm sure this won't end badly.
My favorite Star Wars actor playing a lovable furball will forever be John Candy! He was a good boy.
Going plaid!
His own best friend!
"I'm a Mawg. Half man. Half dog. I'm my own best friend" 🤣🤣

Fun head canon: Allen constantly has different backgrounds there are forces out there trying to silence him. So he is constantly on the run while making these videos
Love the discussions and content on the star wars show. Currently have some mixed feelings on it, but I'm open to see where it's going
you know about the dolphins i see
It's the damned dolphins.
Now I want to see a photo of Allen and his family swimming with dolphins at Sea World. Traitors...lol.
I blame the dolphin sympathizers out to get him
I smell in the distance that the acolyte will include a storyline about corruption in the jedi order
That's what they're doing they're painting the Jedi as the embodiment of white supremacy.
*Rule of Two Sith Order laughing in the distance.*
And what’s the problem with that? We know the Jedi aren’t perfect. We’ve had plenty of stories about Jedi corruption in Legends.
@@supremeleadersmeagol6345they’ll make it about the patriarchy
I welcome the exploration of all background stories. The Star Wars Universe is so rich. Limiting productions to Skywalkers and lightsabers would be a waste of opportunities. The Jedi's demise did not come only because Palpatine was a master manipulator...
There were deffinately more episodes with Andor in the background, on Ferrix and Coruscant.
I didn’t realize she was Zygerion while watching the Acolyte but right before u said her species, I was like o wait I know her, she’s the slaver species 😂
You're assuming all Zygerians are part of the same cutlure. Zabraks for example can either be from Dathomir or Iridonia, and plenty of Iridonian Zabraks have joined the order. There's also no reason to assume Zygerian culture was exactly the same at the Time.
There's a slight problem with your logic. The Zygerrians are heavily implied to be incredibly isolationist in terms of cultural creep, and rarely, if ever, go to other planets except to harvest more slaves.
Iridonia and Dathomir are two planets on separate sides of the Galactic Core, likely with little to no interaction with one another.
@@isengarde9490 And yet, both planets have Zabraks on them. One could have migrated to the other centuries, Millenia ago. Same with Zygerrians.
@@iainwhite8617 That's my *point.*
The Zygerrians have likely just been or are in the process of suffering the crackdown on their criminal empire the angry dude mentioned in the Clone Wars. So, there's likely not enough Zygerrians to actually go out and settle someplace else without risking extinction due to potentially incompatible environments.
In this time period, the ONLY place you're going to find a Zygerrian, is their home world.
The Zabrak cultures are wildly different, Iridonian Zabrak are fiercely independent travelers, and proud warriors, whereas Dathomiri Zabrak rarely, if ever, leave the planet and are subservient to the witches and their Matriarchy.
@@isengarde9490 But you don't know that for a fact. Until more is revealed of her backstory. there's no reason to assume she doesn't, or can't come from another world Zygerrians settled on a few centuries prior.
@@iainwhite8617
If they wanted mean cat people with the ability to have good members, they should've gone with the Cathar, hell they have deeper lore than the Zygerrians who were just kinda one off 'We need slaver aliens that aren't Hutts to keep things interesting'.
other channels are farming rage bait, this guy is actually digging into the lore and pumping out cool stuff, cheers mate
Allen is a cut above the rest and always has great thought provoking videos he is the Man 😂
Yes ^^ This is the Way 🙂
Well this show is garbage and so is Disney so it makes sense
@@kennyg3118dude…. . Get a life . Y’all aren’t gonna take down Disney with your cry baby tantrums 😂
@@TF-vb9us cope and seethe woke shill, no one cares less about your meltdowns over this show tanking lol Also the fan reviews and even critic reviews say otherwise
Jedi don’t take children against the will of the parent. The parents have to give permission for the Jedi to take the child
Too many of these TH-camrs don't seem to get it or they never read the material. The jedi asked the parents before they were taken. And to sit there and try and say alien species can't or shouldn't be jedi why? Just say you don't like space movies stop trying to act like you know what aliens would be good or bad just like kathleen you're not George.
Jedi also have Mind Tricks that 'Only Work on the Weak Minded' and never actually explains what this means.
Clearly not stupid people, because Mace and Obi Wan got Cad freakin' Bane under one when he stole that Holocron of Jedi Baby Doxes.
@@isengarde9490 There were extenuating circumstances around Cad Bane, since Anakin was also working with Mace and Obi-wan, and they didn't "trick" Bane so much as they tortured him.
I don't think a zygerian has to have a violent recruitment story. Even in Zygeria, there may be Republic sympathizers. Of course, even in the Republic, people could have a violent Jedi recruitment. Take this channel favorite Jedi:Ki-Adi-Mundi. His father said no to the Jedi. A gang bike beat him up. Then he agreed to send Ki-Adi-Mundi to the temple so that the gang wouldn't kidnap Ki-Adi.
Another possibility is that she was given to the order for her own safety. Considering the hated they have for jedi, it's highly likely that the Zygerians became anti force sensitive. So her parents may have handed her over so she wasn't lynched or they rescued her from an abusive situation.
I knew Tasi Lowa was a Zygerrian at first glance. I think the makeup artist team did a great job taking the feline race only seen in the animated works until the Acolyte.
Generation Tech
826K subscribers I do remember the Zygerians, as they had a powerful and vast slave empire. The Zygerrians (Star Wars) are very much a lot like the Orion Syndicate (Star Trek), because they're infamously and notoriously well known for being greatly feared and notorious slavers and pirates. But it is always nice to see a fewgood, kind, and friendly individuals members of these two hostile species from their respective franchises fighting on the side of good. D'Vana Tendi one of the main characters from "Star Trek: Lower Decks" for example is a friendly female Orion who joins Starfleet and teaches us that not all Orions are bad.
She is not just Zygerrian. Her horns and tatoos may imply she is half-Dathomirian Zabrak. Maybe this is why she is not with her species.
Some zygerrians have horns although it's usually only males and the horns are only on their chins
Female zyggerians do have small hornes you can see that in clone wars
@@user-cd8ke3it3w The only horns I have seen in all entirety of The Clone Wars were on Queen Miraj Scintel's crown. I wouldn't call growths near they eyebrows "horns".
If it's so Disney just made it up
Nah i believe theyve already said she is in fact a zygerrian i think ive seen it on the star wars instagram but dont quote me on that
3:14 "she's actually a feline humanoid that's evolved from a sentient canine". Huh?
Zygerrian Jadi are rare but they are some. Farzala Tarabal was a Zygerrian male Jedi Knight of the Jedi Order during the High Republic Era. And for now I dont see many problems with Acolyte. We see how it will look in next episode.
You take this series too serious. It's just fan fiction, and it's bad fan fiction.
Lol Well said
You take all of Star Wars too seriously 😂 it’s for 12 year olds. 99% of sw is retcon fanfiction. Get ahold of yourselves.
Also human-occupied planets aren't necessarily going to host aliens, or vice versa. There's probably whole regions of space where humans and other species are rarely seen too.
And we've seen alien planets in various Star Wars media, such as the Twi'lek and Togruta homeworlds where there are few if any human residents.
I like to see more "bad guy aliens" as something more than bad guys. Tuskens in Mandalorian and BoBF, Weeqway in Mandalorian and BoBF, Quarren in Clone Wars, Trandoshans in High Republic and Squadrons and now Zygerrian in Acolyte. Hopefully more like Hutts and Aqualish get same treatment someday. Even if most of certain species are a-holes there will always be some good guys in there
Tasi Lowa’s background doesn’t necessarily have to be negative. She may just be from a family that had left Zygeria several generations before and abandoned some of the negative aspects of their culture.
There was also a Hutt Jedi.
Who fell to the Dark Side.
@@robertnelson9599 Yup
@@robertnelson9599 Which is unfortunate, it would have been a more interesting concept if the Hutt didn't go the way of every other Hutt.
@@ahorsewithnoname773, well there was a Hutt Chancellor, who was actually very popular for his anti-corruption policies, so that's something.
@@occam7382 Interesting, I wasn't aware of that Hutt. I'll have to do some reading on wookipedia later.
ik this isn’t what the video is about, but just wanted to share. JJ Abrams wasn’t a Star Wars fan… he was an Episode 4-5 fan. He outwardly trashed on everything else from Star Wars. Dave Filoni is a star wars fan, he understands what makes Star Wars, Star Wars. Thats why one made the sequels, and the other made The Clone Wars, Rebels, the Mandalorian, etc.
Well, that's certainly a take.
This sounds an awful lot like saying all Rodians must be incompetent bounty hunters because the one we saw was.
Even if 99.999% of Zygerrians are massive dickweeds, that still leaves the possibility of the rare Zygerrian who isn't. Even if we assume they're all as bad as the one queen and her court (which is a bit of a stretch), why would the Jedi turn one away to grow up in an evil culture with Force powers? That's like asking to make a darksider.
There have also been Trandoshian Jedi and Hutt Jedi.
I would totally fraternize with some of those aliens. Boldly go where no man has gone before.
A real Captain Kirk here.
🫡godspeed... don't forget to bring penicillin
Somehow I suspect there've been hybrids for millenia by that point. :)
Its a shame we don't get to see Jecki and Yord's padawan interacting. I wonder if they are friends. I understand why they didn't want to add too many characters, especially another with such heavy makeup, but would have been interesting to see them discuss their masters, similar to Ahsoka and Barriss.
I’ve been watching you for years and this is the first time I’ve commented (I think) I just wanna tell you that you’re the best Star Wars TH-camr/Content creator. I enjoy The Acolyte and you’re the only one analyzing and making positive videos about it instead of crapping on it 😂. Disney isn’t perfect I agree and I don’t like the sequels too much but all of their shows have been great to me! Never stop making videos. You have the most in depth immersive Star Wars videos on the internet! Thank for the entertainment lol
I’m glad to see the push back against the toxic, hateful, crybaby whining coming from so many terminally online “fans”. Proud to see creators like Allen not giving into the incel hatesturbation that inundates any conversation about SW these days 😂
At this point, you’re the only person I trust to give a rational take on Star Wars at this point.
I know this video wasn’t about those guys you mentioned but I would enjoy a video talking about different perspectives of being a part of the Star Wars fandom. I appreciate you for being very objective in your videos but I wouldn’t mind hearing your personal take whether I agree with it or not. Your one of my favorite Star Wars channels so I’ll support you no matter what
I should note that Tasi Lowa wasn't the only Zygerrian Jedi. Just 100 years before The Acolyte, we had Farzala Tarabal from the High Republic Adventures comics.
I'm trying to figure out why each species has to be a monolith. Some aliens can be born off there home world and not have an allegience to the homeworld especially if the parents will allow there child to join the Jedi.
We are all supposed to be working but really we are just watching you talk about Star Wars.
So when is a cat girl not a cat girl when she is in a Disney Star wars tv series.
if we want to go by weird jedi species...there is an old comic about the first sith vs republic war and it does show a pureblood sith with the jedi XD
loltalk about standing out
I saw a really fat jedi, I don't know about you but as far as I know, Jedi train their bodies to the physical limit to make sure they're ready for battle.
I actually liked that, it shows how the jedi essentially became the town guard during the high republic era. A lot of niman guys were seen as out of shape because they skipped a lot of the martial exercises
@@GenerationTech oo now that you say it that makes a lot of sense, I hadn't considered that the Jedi order in many ways demobilised.
Keep in mind that there were many roles for Jedi. Some were archivists and librarians. I thought he looked pretty cool, and I've seen a lot of posts on Twitter by people saying they were happy to see him.
I can live with a fat Jedi, though. As another commenter already pointed out, there are different roles for Jedi and not every Jedi will see combat, so they serve Order and Republic in other ways. Corpulence is not a problem when all the Jedi does is working in an administrative role. Hell, he could even be a great spy, because who would think this fat guy is actually a Jedi?
@@GenerationTech Or He it is the limit of his body the strongest he can be is huge
The part, where the Zygerrian girl would be taken forcefully from her parents, that totally fits into the Acolyte lore of Jedi being now evil (instead of offering to train force sensitive kids as an educational institution) - abusing their power.
Thank god I’m not the only who caught that!😂 right when she appeared on screen I was like “what’s going on here”
Filoni shouldn't get heat for rescuing legends content.
Her journey to the Jedi Order would be interesting to explore in a comic.
(Here's me not wanting to spoiler myself this time but the thumbnail actually made it click for me 'Oh! She's *Zygerrian, isn't she.* ' I had this nagging sense of familiarity I couldn't place with her. )
You know, I've never realized why people hate that the sequel trilogy is essentially a re-telling of New Hope. I LIKED that, they brought back most of the characters we used to love, and we found out that the galaxy hasn't changed that much. The refurbished plot was a shout-out to New Hope (as was bringing back as many of the core characters as they could) is the way I saw it. I saw the new trilogy as kind of resetting the stage for a new cast of heroes - considering Ford wouldn't stay, and how old the original cast were. We lost two of them, or was it three, during the course of the sequels - the real actors passed.) Honestly the only thing I had against the series was that they set us up to have three main characters; and in the last movie the two guys were only barely in it. I mean, what might have been neat is if Rey got captured by elements of the New Order and the guys had to band together to rescue her, or some other important personage had been captured and the three of them had to work together to free the person. Maybe though that would have been a better plot for movie 2, but the guys should have played some prominent role in the last film. I tend to think that this is a big part of the reason everyone hates Rey as a "Mary Sue" - not because she was exceptionally talented (her grandpa was the Emperor for cripes sake, he was one of the most powerful Force Users ever. And he was deliberately trying to find a way to clone Force Users so he could get a proper clone of himself.) Part of the lore says that the reason Jedi are not supposed to have children is because the child of a force-user is almost always more powerful than their parent(s) - and it can be difficult to teach an abnormally powerful child any sort of morality when they can make you "kiss" every wall, floor, and ceiling in the house with bone-breaking force during a temper tantrum. Imagine the "Terrible Twos" with a child that can throw you through walls when they get upset. Or maybe Mind Trick you into giving them their way every time.
There's an old Twilight Zone episode I think was called "It's a good life" where this entire town is held hostage by a remorseless, selfish kid who can make his every wish come true. That's kind of what having a Force Sensitive child could be like period without the Jedi to teach them (and teach them that bad behavior has consequences with the power to enforce it). And it would be worse with an even stronger Force Sensitive child of a Jedi who can't compete with their own child.
If Rey was a Mary Sue then what does that make Luke? He gets a couple weeks of training with Obi during transit to Alderaan, and a couple months of training with Yoda on Degobah, and suddenly he can go nearly toe to toe with Vader. And in RotJ he could have taken Vader, he didn't want to, it wasn't his Destiny. Somebody had to push Anakin into fulfilling his Destiny - and doing that was Luke's Destiny. Palpatine WANTED Luke to kill Vader because he knew Luke was stronger than Vader.
I also don't quite get why people are angry about Luke's death. He died a heroes death, saving his sister one last time. He'd turned away from The Force after a terrible mistake, blinded himself to it, and managed still to Mind Trick Ren's entire army from halfway across the galaxy, to save his sister. That's pretty epic IMHO. At the same time he stopped Ren from killing his mother, and maybe forcing him to reconsider some of his actions.
Brief note; the Jedi almost never kidnapped children; just like we saw with Anakin, instead he and his mother were talked to and ASKED to let Anakin become a Jedi; that is how it was USUALLY done. The Jedi would tell the parents they have two choices; they can keep their child, but the child will be untrained and eventually probably forget their connection to The Force; or the child can join the Jedi Order, be trained to use their gifts, and possibly become galactic-level heroes. But the latter would come with sacrifices. I can imagine that many parents would have to take serious thought about this. They can keep their child by their side knowing that their child will probably end up just like them. Or they can give up their child for the child's own sake so they can make the most of their lives. Do they do the selfish thing and keep their child by their side, or do they do the selfless thing and give up their child to the Order knowing the Order will do their best with them?
Also "taking a child from their parents against their will is troubling and morally incorrect" - what if the parents are abusive and a danger to the child's life? That was MY childhood, my entire life would have been so much BETTER if I had been taken from them against their will. I might have actually had a decent life without them. Now I'm almost 63 and I'm alone. I've never been married, I have no children, and I barely know any of my blood family. I have to take daily medication to help me deal with the trauma of my childhood with my parents. I know I'm not alone in this either, I've met dozens of others who had similar, or even worse, families.
Good, you mentioned the Wookie Padawan from Clone Wars. Wookies are almost certainly one of those species derived from human colonists that evolved to survive on their planet. Almost certainly the ancient Rakata Force manipulated human genetics to make us more adaptable then we already were - it was why humans were their favorite species of slaves and a big part of why there are so many worlds with humans living on them.
Sorry for this long post, I always seem to get these ideas when listening to your show. I deleted a longer one for another pod-cast just yesterday.
I feel like if humans can be in the order, anyone can. Lol
You probably think dolphins would make good Jedi.
*HUMANS FIRST!*
Star Wars has always had a race problem. The twileks are a dancing race, the bothans are a scheming race, etc
Planet of the Hutts...I mean Hatts...
Thank you for always giving a balanced outlook on the lore of Star Wars! ❤️
the fact that you think any thought went into these characters at all is funny
I want a Harry and the Skywalkers sitcom.
You rock, Alan. As a fellow hafu, thank you.
I’m not sure what race this Jedi/Sith was, but they were aboard the Yuuzan Vong ship when they tortured the one tuskan Jedi, who became Darth Krate (def spelling wrong) and they looked kind of similar, are they the same race?
A HUGE STEP SIDEWAYS KILLED ME XD
Leslye Headlund see the High Republic comics feature a Trandoshan Jedi, says "hold my beer" and walks into the Acolyte's writers' room.
I remember seeing at least one zygerrian civilian in the background during the clone wars season 5.
It's possible not all of them are slavers aside from tasi lowa.
I mean, there were Sith Pureblood jedi, anything is possible on this front
There were? Where? 🤔
The only one I can think of is Lord Praven from SWTOR, and his status as a Jedi is doubtful because the player can also kill him.
@@johannesseyfried7933 It is still a possibility that both Praven and the Jedi Order are open to. And consider the lightside path is the "canon" path for the knight, it can be assumed Praven did canonically become a Jedi
@@haberak3310 He's still the only one I can think of. Praven was a very....specific Sith.
Reminder that it's ok for people different from you to play in your sandbox
Visually, Tassy (Tassi?) reminds me of Ambassador Delenn from _Babylon Five_ - very nice
great synopsis , i do find your take on things interesting and well thought out.
There have been at least two other zygerrian Jedi: Farzala and Tosan! Farzala specifically gets some spotlight on him during the high republic, he’s a really cool dude!
I also really like his blue coloring, it’s really unique!
I always wondered why we never saw a Zygerian (forgive me if I butchered the spelling) jedi
How did I not remember the knife fight between the rat & monkey like creatures!? I wonder how many other weird background/foreground events they slipped in that only get noticed upon rewatching.
Just be thankful it was a Zygerrian and not a Cathar.
Imagine the CGI Cats, but an entire species of them.
why was none of this in the show, they knew folks like you would elaborate. i still, still want starwars to be what my older brother showed me HOPE. A idea of how small the material is and how unstoppable a good man can be, ohh calm down man means people THE RACE OF MAN ON EARTH. A MAN ON THE MOON......
Now I wanna make a Zygerrian Jedi character in SW5E.
While most Force-sensitives can be found all over the galaxy of almost every type of alien species known to the Republic, I do have to agree that a Zygerrian Jedi probably isn't the best idea. Now unless the Zygerrians asked the Jedi to take her because they found out she was Force-sensitive, I might understand that. Otherwise, it's not a good idea.
When organizations are high, they make mistakes....
Thank you for your continued discourse, Alan.
Love your videos! Always hyped when I see a notification that you dropped a video :)
Oh ... I thought she was some kind of Bat species. You know, like in Andromeda. I look forward to your comments on the female Zabrak design they presented with the third episode today.
Bam! I thought of Andromeda too!
Mandalorian's were not known to be Jedi, but there is at least one instance where we do know. 🤷
Two instances with Sabine.
@@anthonyrodriguez8788 yes, absolutely but I was more meaning during the height of the Jedi order, Sabine will be awesome but she is not a Jedi yet lol, saying moreso I could see the Jedi taking this kid to try create dialogue to their species, much like when they ini-dated tar Visla
For me, there are 3 things I accept. 1. I generally like every new show or movie that comes out in live action. Because they try to give us what we liked in animation. 2. With legends, there was so much info that you couldn't include it in new shows/movies from the start. Slowly add it and correct the errors that the books created. 3. No matter the show/movie. Fans are going to hate it, because it didn't do what they feel it should of done. Maybe years down the road they'll accept it, but they'll still hate it for that reason.
Regard Andor alien thing. We need to remember that alien presence vastly depend on the region. While in outer rim and slice it was common to see aliens. In the Core, well it was heavily dominated by humans. Andor is a show what primarily take place inside Imperial dominated regions (and Imperials were racist). So it hardly is a justified complain.
That's just playing cover for Gilroy's disdain for Star Wars. SW requires droids and aliens, otherwise, it's just generic scifi.
the quick little 40k disclamer is perfect
I wish I was excited for any TV shows and videogames but everything just feels so shallow and empty to me now.
The act of taking a child from their parents against their parents wishes is morally questionable? Do you live in the same world as everyone else? More unfit parents exist than children lucky enough to be free of them.
That doesn't keep it from being morally questionable. The morality in that case is balanced against the morality of leaving the child with parents that will harm the child. If the child is healthy and thriving with the parents, then, yes, it's morally questionable to take the child from those parents, even if in someone else's opinion the child would thrive "better" under someone else's care.
Why does she have horns
0:05 ... Yeah, I think it's very telling that you have to open like that. I don't hate it. I just don't understand who they're trying to tell this story for. I thought they were supposed to have learned some kind of lesson about who their demographic is and who they need to be selling Star Wars to. If you want to kill a franchise, then tell your largest demographic that the franchise is no longer going to cater to you. It's not for you anymore. 😂
Andor had the aliens just right. There are two points to consider: One is that Emperor Palpatine is essentially a "human cultist" (as Saw Guerra put it) and is anti-alien. The anti-alien bigotry in the Empire was evident even in A New Hope. That would inevitably mean the closer one gets to Palpatine's presence the fewer aliens one would see, and the more humanoid those aliens would have to be. And that's exactly what we see in Andor.
Second, _most_ planets would have only few aliens and those would be in specific areas. We see that in reverse in many cases and don't even notice: How many humans and "other" aliens do we see walking around "alien" planets? There are going to be crossroads and trade planets that will have more aliens, and we'd see more aliens at spaceport cities or trade cities. But there would also be planets and cities on planets that would have few or no aliens...just like there are cities on our planet that have few or no non-citizens.
Weren’t there races who basically abandoned force-sensitive children - kicked them out of their society? Being cast out and and rescued by either a Jedi seeker or someone who brought her to a (relatively) local temple would explain a zygerrian padawan
I get it when GL wanted the OG species and race lore a little more boxy. the Wookie cannot be a Jedi as Mandalorians cannot be Jedi and others. he wanted Wookies primary roles as the strong primal race.
it's like marvel comics as The Hulk is strong, unstoppable force while Venom as symbiote nemesis to spiderman with wicked powers. Marvel have often combines these two elements as the Hulk Venom fusion is better than their counterparts.
now turn Wookie into a Jedi and you get a Hulk/Venom thing going on on star wars and looses the value of what Chewbacca brings since you create a hands down more powerful Chewbacca and if that becomes common, then the beloved Chewie just becomes a Wookie grunt. but race wise it's not all bad since Wookies are probably natural affinity to light side of the forces. they are primal in a savage world, live almost as long Yoda species and a natural knack for justice and honor.
But leave Mandalorians alone. they are too proud to be members of the Jedi cult in their own words.
The behind the scenes crew really should take note on how to make alien characters look real from the LOTR crew
It's cool that The Acolyte has more aliens.
Yes indeed 🙂 I like those scenes & Zygerrian Jedi weehee 🙂 Late this evening i relax by streaming S01E03 via D+ ^^ "65 Led Telly, Dark Room, Ginger Tea & 2x Warm Veg Sammies 🍵🥪🧘 Enjoy S01 via D+ & share El Fine word 🙂

I have read a fic that had a Zygerrian Jedi in it - the fic did that specifically because it was a "Tatooine Slave Culture" fic, in fact I think it is the tentpole fic of the fanon that is cited next to Fialleril's own work (FYI for people who don't know the fanon, Fialleril is the one who invented it). The plot point was that Shmi (who was characterised as being Force Sensitive in the fic)meets the Zygerrian and he has a very repentant for his species attitude.
I think the thing having a Zygerrian Jedi loses out on is bringing up that issue in their racial background. Maybe this show is not looking in that direction, so the slaver issue is never going to be brought up.
Thank you for posting a video that's actually about how the show fits into the Star Wars universe rather than what others are doing. Thank you!
Or she could've come from a group of Zygerrians that don't follow the normal Zygerrians ways.
It's sad that Jecki had to die and Tasi had to live.
But since Jecki is part of the Party World race and Tasi was from the Slaver race--it would be nice to see her put with Vernestra in season 2. It could be nice to see a Zygerian with a light whip light saber. It would also be nice to see in live action what it's like for a Padawan when a Master dies.
It would have been crazy to have Tasi on that mission. I could see her murdering Qimir and then making a statement like... "you got my uniform dirty"
Tech is chilling on The Forest Moon Of Endor.
The show starting 150yrs plus before the battle of Yavin, it would give the series more wiggle room if it gets multiple seasons.
This show looks beautiful in a lot of ways. It is too bad the script is so pathetic.
The first two Star Wars films are more human centred. Yoda being the only really alien character is fleshed out more as a consequence. It's only with Jedi and probably with developments in puppetry and later CGI that aliens become less of an exotic bit of flavour like the Cantina scene and appear everywhere. I think to the detriment of the story. The Hoth Battle feels like a real battle because real Norwegian soldiers are in real snowy trenches. The Gungans vs the Battledroids is a cartoon and doesn't feel like real characters facing a real threat. Not just because of the CGI but also because we are human. We aren't robots or rabbit frogs.
