Not to mention that Hutts work with base fours when it comes to paying dum dums, unless they are dealing with others in a bidding war or making you pay up, you ain't getting jack.
So it’s possible that Gamoreans are cheaper than droids and are definitely cheaper than Mandalorians. Droids require upkeep, especially on desert planets where the sand can jam up joints or interfere with optics, not to mention the power requirements if you need to recharge them at regular intervals, plus they lack instincts for danger. Using them for indoor security as a reserve force will keep them out of the way and on standby if you base is attacked. Keeping a small group of Mandalorians around as a personal body guards allows you to bring them with you when you have to leave or return. Gamoreans more or less only need to be fed, given a place to eat and a weapon that doesn’t run out of energy that they can use in close quarters. Pretty cheap.
yeah, i was just about to comment that about droids, it's far cheaper to just keep them shut off in storage not using power and only activate them when you need them. speaking of which automated point defense turrets both for anti infantry and anti armor/air are highly useful.
a jedi once said "i hate sand" no kidding, sand is the arch enemy of everything. especially anything mechanical. but a droid emergency-response force inside your compound linked to the alarm could be useful. just keep enough "living" guards around for day to day operations.
2 questions. First couldn't the maintenance be done by a Droid as well? Second in universe power seems pretty cheap no? I don't know what they are doing but any and every yuppy can afford fuel to reach escape velocity while doing acrobatics... so...
Funny thing about Luke, though Yoda says his training is complete, Luke's training never actually gets completed. Luke, on many occasions, displayed what some would consider to be dark side tendencies, and he used dark side abilities relatively often. Luke was not a typical jedi, he was prone to human weaknesses, something actual jedi were eager to reject. Human weaknesses, of course, leads to the dark side in some form.
But if oxygen starvation of the brain kills off brain cells and gammorans maybe have 4 on average a loss of any would probably leave them too stupid to be anything but a vegetable.... A pork flavored veggie??
@@danielduncan6806 Luke did, initially, try to strike down the unarmed Emperor Palpatine on the 2nd Death Star, only to be thwarted by Vader. So, yeah, I can see that. I mean, as well, Luke force grabbed a blaster while standing before an unarmed Jabba, intending on using the blaster against the Hutt, (resulting in a visit to the rancor.) So, when push comes to shove, and he's not confronting an un-handed father figure (snark,) Luke can get pretty dark. And now that I've looked at it this way, Luke's attack on Ben Solo doesn't seem so implausible.
I used to love playing the og one but my memory is ass we came across them when we where on Jabas palace with the rancor trap right or am I completely missing it?
They where basically jedi without the triple jump and speed The first hit stuns the second kills But that didnt matter because jabbas palace was close quarters and they attacked both sides
I've always found the Gammorean Guard story from "Tales of Jabba's Palace" pretty funny. As pointed out in this video, Gammorean guards are quite dumb. However, according to the "Jabba's Palace" tale, the Gammorean, who ended up a snack to the rancor when he fell in with Luke, that guard was considered extremely dumb even by other Gammoreans. 😆
Hmm, makes sense. Hutts after growing to a certain point become immune to blasters, right? Yet, when Luke (probably not knowing that fact) Force pulled a blaster to shoot Jabba, that Gamorrean tackled him and tried to stop him, *despite it being completely unnecessary.* He basicall fell down with Luke and died *for nothing.* HOW _do you not know your boss is blaster-proof when you serve under the same roof as him?!_
@@MrDibara lol. good observation. Not only was stopping Luke from blasting Jabba unnecessarily, but the dumb guard should also have been aware that he was right over the trapdoor even before he tried to stop Luke.
The Gammoreans aren't a defence, they're the doorbell/alarm system. Jabba knows he has visitors whenever he can hear porcine squeals, and knows which route in they're using by judging the direction the squeals are coming from.
If I was a very high end crime lord, I would most certainly use droids as the bulk of the security force, and several hired guns that can double as bounty hunters, with a mandalorian as a personal bodyguard as well as 2 magna guards. If I'm getting security, I'm going all out lol
I love this convo…if I were one, I would definitely employ tons of the special forces droids the CIS use a lot along with magna guards I’d prefer to have 12 as my bulk personal security detail (2 sets of 6 for force users attacking me) and hire a mandalorian to train the organically that I would use because like the other guy said EMPs
I vaguely remember reading a Gamorian's diary on a datapad I found in Kotor. He described the squalid conditions of the room he was given and followed with praising them, how courteous that his room was infested with rats for him to snack on when he so desired, and the stench felt homey.
Personally I think surplus separatist battle droids are a superior alternative to Gamorreans, even if you buy them new as opposed to just finding an old stock pile or stealing them from boneyards they’re still dirt cheap to acquire and maintain. Plus they can use actual weapons like blasters as opposed to sharpened metal sticks, and with a little reprogramming used for other uses.
After a Gamorrean Guard has been dispatched no one mourns. Quite the opposite, breakfast has fresh bacon and sausage. Tons of lard for cooking other food plus hams, chops and ribs just to name a few. This is a value added benefit, loyal guard plus food for all. There is a reason why Huts have such a devoted following and can gain such personal mass...A universal truth everyone loves bacon
No joke, when I was a kid, that Gammorean's panicked squeals made me pity him and feel so horrible for him! I actually wish there was a way to SAVE him from the Rancor, that's how bad I felt for the guy! _(plus, the fact it looked like a pig and me being the animal lover I am, as a kid, basically broke down in tears)_ 😅
I always got the impression that gammorean guards were supposed to be able to easily survive a blaster bolt shot from like at least the smaller handheld blasters like the one han solo uses
@@mattstorm360 Not exactly true. Metals, food, medical supplies etc are all transported via civilian transports, all these would be profitable to steal and sell on the black market. They would also greatly inconvenience the Empire.
In short just use Twi'leks instead, they are cheaper and last longer, they could also negotiate and communicate with potential guests much better, they can also train in a variety of combat methods.
You forgot to add that guard that ended up as lunch for the rancor during Luke's visit. I wouldn't be surprised if Jabba lost 2-3 of those guards a week to the rancor, just to clean out the pit or give the rancor a bath.

I unsubbed from The Stupendous Wave since he consistently kept repeating lines of dialogue within the same video, and it was such an annoying waste of time and obvious ploy to extend the run time.
i generally look at 3 questions to answer this. 1- location: as your operating in the outer Rim your Tech-resources would be limited and hard to come by, while a automated defense system like landmines, droids, turrets etc would be powerful the maintenance of these could become a problem in the long run. recommend using meat-bags over droids for the main guard force. 2- resources: what are the most resources available in the outer rim for defense. these would be mostly gangs, pirates, opportunists, and tribes. making deals with each comes with their own cost/benefit. but a loyal tribe-people would be most reliable cheap defense that had the least chance of taking arms against you when you play your cards right. 3- enemies: what is the most likely foe you would have to deal with. this would be mostly other crime lords, pirates, raiders or the occasional bounty hunter or upset smuggler. very rarely would a police-force or army approach your compound as you need to deal with those dangers diplomatically or logistically. so you need security in some numbers with enough force to be a good deterrent but not too big to overly tax you, a small elite guard behind it for the more "difficult" visitors is recommended but loyalty might be your best defense as anyone in the outer rim has their price, but a honor-bound guard is harder to buy then a hired gun. so yes, Jabba's Palace operation was decently guarded for its purpose. i mean you do not expect a Sith or Jedi to kick in the door on your afternoon party after you made your monthly spice-trade deal?
Couple things that were missing: Jabba became a powerful hutt member after the Hutts reestablished themselves, and garmorreans have poor eye sight which is why they use primitive weapons.
Who knows Gammorean bacon sounds good. Maybe off set the price of a guard with the meat you can get from them. Boost the number of guards, gifts of weapons to the clan maybe some food and you may almost have free guards.
How do you think Admiral Thrawn would handle factions from other Sci-Fi series? Like Vulcans & Klingons, Covenant & The Flood, or even Zeon and The Earth Federation with their giant robots?
Thrawn vs Char the red comet leading Zeon or maybe the AUEG which is more like the Rebel Alliance where as Zeon is more like the Separatist Trade Federation.
Does anyone else want to see the death stick actor turn up in Mandolarian as a minor character? Kind of to see what a review of his life choices lead him? Also a nod to the prequels.
A story about a Gamorrean Jedi renowned for encouraging/counseling younglings and fellow knights with his inspiring pig grunts = shut up and take my money!
I would hire an army of them if they can be trained to use different melee weapons and equipment. The main problem with Gammorean guards is that they have no options to counter ranged attacks. Star Wars have shown several weapons that can be used to get into ranged combat. If they can use large shields like the Gungan or Mandalorian Guard, then Gammoreans can be highly effective. Alternatively, they can wear some beskar armor to tank some bolts. Of course, this means it may be hard to hire Mandalorian mercenaries.
suggest jar jar clones instead of gamorrians. This is due to the fact that the intelligence is the same but the sheer randomness of jar jars attacks/clumsiness/potential force ability will test a visitors adaptation to killing your clones Note: if you want force sensitive clones make sure to grab some ysalamir
And if you’re a small-timer in the Chaos with a few credits to plunk down, I’d recommend Yubal ranches on Celwis - Chiss ranchers are pretty hard-core.
Anyone who has ever played _Bounty Hunter_ will know that Gardulla the Hutt went through a lot of Gamorrean Guards. If you think Jabba the Hutt was going through them fast, wait until you play as Jango Fett gunning down wave after wave of Gamorreans and other henchmen coming after you throughout her palace. Doesn't end well for Gardulla. In fairness, I'm sure it'd be pretty easy on the basis of how cheap they are, to form a pretty large private army of Gamorrean Guards. Especially in the pre-Clone Wars era when things were just less under the thumb. Criminals still thrived during both the Clone Wars and the Imperial Era, though there was something of a Wild West situation going on before at least some more powerful centralised Republic/Imperial military came along. I mean, look at Dooku - he was outright willing to murder Rotta the Hutt, Jabba's infant son. Dooku did not give a damn. Sith Lord after all. Few would dare cross the Hutts that way. Dooku doing that indicates how little the Sith give a shit about powers like the Hutt Cartels. For most folks, doing anything even close to that to the Hutts, would be a death mark that wouldn't go away. They'd be unable to show their face throughout entire star systems, even outside of Hutt Space. Dooku was one of those beings just beyond the Hutt influence. If they went after him with assassins and henchmen, they'd all just die anyway. Maul later killed his way to the heart of criminal operations at the end of the Clone Wars. After them, Vader also personally threatened Jabba in his own palace. At the end of the day, Dooku was Head of State for the Separatists and a powerful Sith Lord. Maul was a former/rogue Sith Lord with crime boss aspirations, and the new robot legs to show for it. Vader was, Vader. I mean, you know, no 2 in the entire Imperial power structure, beneath only Palpatine himself. Personally, I always saw it as the Empire turning a blind eye to the existence of the Hutts, because they had their tangential uses (e.g. for the sake of being helpful with corruption, bounty hunter pooling and generally 'taking care of' a large span of the Outer Rim which was still wild, with even the staggering resources and manpower of the Empire, spread out so thinly that worlds like Tatooine were simply on the limits and borderlines of Imperial reach - exacerbated by the events of the Galactic Civil War, when the Empire needed all the help it could get simply not to tear itself apart with the strain of fighting a galaxy wide war which turned into the hardest game of whack-a-mole ever seen, at least not counting the Forerunner-Flood War) In my opinion, I think that if the Empire eventually became so powerful that it could afford to suppress the Hutts and destroy Hutt Space, then they would. Why negotiate terms with them or tolerate their duplicitous existence? Anakin knew the Hutts for what they really were and the Emperor did too. It wasn't that they couldn't wipe them out. It's that it made more practical sense for them to tackle one issue at a time. Rebels first, everyone else later. Now I'm imagining a Gamorrean Legion established on Nar Shaddaa in the post-Imperial era by some Hutt or other. We never see the Hutts in the sequel trilogy, though. I'm not sure what was supposed to have gone down there, as after Jabba's demise, I think other Hutts were removed from power. I speculate. I cannot be sure. But you'd think even the fairly weak and militarily exhausted New Republic would struggle to deal with them after Jakku. Then again, I still think that at least some Hutt holdouts would be out there in the Outer Rim, way beyond the means of the New Republic to deal with. Was Grand Master Luke Skywalker and the New Jedi Order, dealing with the Hutts? After taking care of Jabba, the rest of the Hutt crime lords would certainly have been in Luke's sights. I mean, why not? I'm pretty sure they'd be high on the priority list to be dealt with judiciously by the Jedi. They'd likely be working with Imperial Remnant factions (and the Imperial Remnants would oblige them, in dire straits themselves, unable to be too picky about whom their 'associates' were) Likewise, the Galactic Civil War would have impacted Hutt profits across the Outer Rim. Oh what could have been had Disney had actually competent writers. Instead, we're supposed to believe the First Order conquered the entire galaxy in like 2 days. FFS.
The HR tagline for the Gammorean Guards: Highly competitive pay, upward advancement, tools provided by employer... security detail for wealthy clientele
On Centari Prime they use a large moat of Morellian Blood Eels, very effective at keeping unwanted trash from interrupting what would otherwise be a splendid evening. *you have to read this while rolling as many Rs and Ws as possible just like Ambassador Mulari
Killing Gamorrean Guards is like ringing the doorbell for these characters. (Two Gamorrrean heads hit the ground in succession with two loud thuds) It's for you, Milord.
Equipment, experience, and training are great, but overwhelming numbers of troops even with minimal equipment can be a game changer. If you don’t believe me, look at the battle of Stalingrad.
Gammoreans were certainly a cheaper option than keeping Mandalorians or Trandoshans on staff, as while both of those races were very efficient but would cost much more for the Hutts. Especially if they were hired to be guards for their palaces and would likely get pulled off of their guard duty to do a job for someone who would hire them. So having a primitive, brutish race like the Gammoreans were ideal as palace guards for regular usage as no one would likely hire them to handle something like claiming a bounty, handling black market deals, or basically anything that required usage of more than one brain cell. In other words, the Gammoreans were perfect for serving as everyday palace guards as they are expendable brutes who were easy to hire as palace guards and weren’t likely to ever uprise against their Hutt boss for better working conditions and pay.
OMG! I love your content! This is I was just finalizing my 2022 business plan for my own palace and this was super helpful in deciding my guard/greet preferences. If you would be so able to look at doing a piece on taking down rival criminal syndicates or mercenary groups that’d be super helpful too.
System advising hey , I would agree they are rather inferior quality in high security. They might always remain so and commendation for noticing the Skywalker choke. You wouldn't want to be alone and outnumbered by them unarmed or even pulling out a concealed blasters, might snag like ropes do in the fight clubs.
Gamoreans are like geonosians. It doesn’t matter how many you kill because they’re beneath humans so what does it matter how many die other than the little you actually pay them.
id use droidekas because they have 2 heavy repeating blasters and a shield and are easy to maintain. them and some Geonosians cuz they can fly and have totally OP sonic blasters and by far the COOLEST starfighter in all of star wars.
What about stormtroopers? Albeit more expensive than garmorean but don’t think they are in anyway more significantly effective than Garmorean. The possibility to train Garnorean to use blasters?
The economical advantage about them is the fact that they die so fast, that most of them die before they can cash up their first check.
It doesn't really matter if they die sonce there's most likely trillions of them if we take into account how fast pigs breed
Not to mention that Hutts work with base fours when it comes to paying dum dums, unless they are dealing with others in a bidding war or making you pay up, you ain't getting jack.
That's very true you could use them as Cannon fodder or pair them up with other units
Killing the Gammoreans at the door is like sounding on the doorbell or knocking on the door.
lol
Honestly if I was there Home planet’s government the punishment for murder would have the extra option of being one of Jabba’s front door guards
Imagine if Jabba had a mailman it'd be: *Blaster shot* Delivery for Jabba the Hutt
It's like in 40k when a planetary defense force is killed to a man. It's just how they say hello
So it’s possible that Gamoreans are cheaper than droids and are definitely cheaper than Mandalorians. Droids require upkeep, especially on desert planets where the sand can jam up joints or interfere with optics, not to mention the power requirements if you need to recharge them at regular intervals, plus they lack instincts for danger. Using them for indoor security as a reserve force will keep them out of the way and on standby if you base is attacked. Keeping a small group of Mandalorians around as a personal body guards allows you to bring them with you when you have to leave or return. Gamoreans more or less only need to be fed, given a place to eat and a weapon that doesn’t run out of energy that they can use in close quarters. Pretty cheap.

Hutt Space is the Gammorean Slaughterhouse, I guess.
How do you think Admiral Thrawn would handle factions from other Sci-Fi series?
Like Vulcans & Klingons, Covenant & The Flood, or even Zeon and The Earth Federation with their giant robots?
Thrawn vs The Flood would be a really interesting match-up. 🤔
Eckharts ladder makes videos like that
Yeah Thrawn Vs Shatner, Picard, Janeway, dealer's choice 4th...
Let's REALLY see who's got the plot armor
Thrawn vs Char the red comet leading Zeon or maybe the AUEG which is more like the Rebel Alliance where as Zeon is more like the Separatist Trade Federation.
Does anyone else want to see the death stick actor turn up in Mandolarian as a minor character? Kind of to see what a review of his life choices lead him? Also a nod to the prequels.
It has already been done. The death stick has a daughter and wife
You see that proves that even a guy addicted to deathsticks can find a wife
Thanks for the best advice I didnt ask for, Allen!
I have to say, I am enjoying actually seeing Gammoreans being semi competent fighters in Book of Boba Fett
Gamorreans never get a break :( they really need more love. Would love to see a Gamorrean with actual plot armor.
A story about a Gamorrean Jedi renowned for encouraging/counseling younglings and fellow knights with his inspiring pig grunts = shut up and take my money!
@@rjchristopher4039 and he survives Order 66
I would hire an army of them if they can be trained to use different melee weapons and equipment. The main problem with Gammorean guards is that they have no options to counter ranged attacks. Star Wars have shown several weapons that can be used to get into ranged combat. If they can use large shields like the Gungan or Mandalorian Guard, then Gammoreans can be highly effective. Alternatively, they can wear some beskar armor to tank some bolts. Of course, this means it may be hard to hire Mandalorian mercenaries.
This is how youtube is done btw uploading no matter what
That opening line lol I love this channel
Great vid I didn’t know I needed.
Laughed a lot at this one. Great business analysis!
Droid protection will get even more expensive when the Trade Federation starts using a subscription model 😉 without being allowed to repair them.
suggest jar jar clones instead of gamorrians. This is due to the fact that the intelligence is the same but the sheer randomness of jar jars attacks/clumsiness/potential force ability will test a visitors adaptation to killing your clones
Note: if you want force sensitive clones make sure to grab some ysalamir
And if you’re a small-timer in the Chaos with a few credits to plunk down, I’d recommend Yubal ranches on Celwis - Chiss ranchers are pretty hard-core.
Boba's 2 Gammorean gaurds survived 4 episodes and even succeeded on there job
Too soon
Nice spoiler bro.
I wonder what Jabba did with the dead Gamorrean’s? Did they become ground pork for Jabba or for the Rancor?
Next week, Alan talks us though how to set up a lucrative smuggling racket and how to manage Rodians.
The Gamorrean guards at Jabba’s palace sound like they were members of the Order of the Short Straw
Great video. I would prefer droids. They come in all sizes with a variety of features. And they're pretty loyal by design.
The difference is your not a Hut they love food and large amounts of money droids are more expensive and you can’t eat them after they die
"Just ask the Imperial Guards of Cadia" Too soon Bruh, too soon
Found this video very informative! thanks!
Anyone who has ever played _Bounty Hunter_ will know that Gardulla the Hutt went through a lot of Gamorrean Guards. If you think Jabba the Hutt was going through them fast, wait until you play as Jango Fett gunning down wave after wave of Gamorreans and other henchmen coming after you throughout her palace. Doesn't end well for Gardulla.
In fairness, I'm sure it'd be pretty easy on the basis of how cheap they are, to form a pretty large private army of Gamorrean Guards. Especially in the pre-Clone Wars era when things were just less under the thumb. Criminals still thrived during both the Clone Wars and the Imperial Era, though there was something of a Wild West situation going on before at least some more powerful centralised Republic/Imperial military came along.
I mean, look at Dooku - he was outright willing to murder Rotta the Hutt, Jabba's infant son. Dooku did not give a damn. Sith Lord after all. Few would dare cross the Hutts that way. Dooku doing that indicates how little the Sith give a shit about powers like the Hutt Cartels. For most folks, doing anything even close to that to the Hutts, would be a death mark that wouldn't go away.
They'd be unable to show their face throughout entire star systems, even outside of Hutt Space. Dooku was one of those beings just beyond the Hutt influence. If they went after him with assassins and henchmen, they'd all just die anyway. Maul later killed his way to the heart of criminal operations at the end of the Clone Wars.
After them, Vader also personally threatened Jabba in his own palace. At the end of the day, Dooku was Head of State for the Separatists and a powerful Sith Lord. Maul was a former/rogue Sith Lord with crime boss aspirations, and the new robot legs to show for it. Vader was, Vader. I mean, you know, no 2 in the entire Imperial power structure, beneath only Palpatine himself.
Personally, I always saw it as the Empire turning a blind eye to the existence of the Hutts, because they had their tangential uses (e.g. for the sake of being helpful with corruption, bounty hunter pooling and generally 'taking care of' a large span of the Outer Rim which was still wild, with even the staggering resources and manpower of the Empire, spread out so thinly that worlds like Tatooine were simply on the limits and borderlines of Imperial reach - exacerbated by the events of the Galactic Civil War, when the Empire needed all the help it could get simply not to tear itself apart with the strain of fighting a galaxy wide war which turned into the hardest game of whack-a-mole ever seen, at least not counting the Forerunner-Flood War)
In my opinion, I think that if the Empire eventually became so powerful that it could afford to suppress the Hutts and destroy Hutt Space, then they would. Why negotiate terms with them or tolerate their duplicitous existence? Anakin knew the Hutts for what they really were and the Emperor did too. It wasn't that they couldn't wipe them out. It's that it made more practical sense for them to tackle one issue at a time. Rebels first, everyone else later.
Now I'm imagining a Gamorrean Legion established on Nar Shaddaa in the post-Imperial era by some Hutt or other. We never see the Hutts in the sequel trilogy, though. I'm not sure what was supposed to have gone down there, as after Jabba's demise, I think other Hutts were removed from power. I speculate. I cannot be sure. But you'd think even the fairly weak and militarily exhausted New Republic would struggle to deal with them after Jakku. Then again, I still think that at least some Hutt holdouts would be out there in the Outer Rim, way beyond the means of the New Republic to deal with.
Was Grand Master Luke Skywalker and the New Jedi Order, dealing with the Hutts? After taking care of Jabba, the rest of the Hutt crime lords would certainly have been in Luke's sights. I mean, why not? I'm pretty sure they'd be high on the priority list to be dealt with judiciously by the Jedi. They'd likely be working with Imperial Remnant factions (and the Imperial Remnants would oblige them, in dire straits themselves, unable to be too picky about whom their 'associates' were) Likewise, the Galactic Civil War would have impacted Hutt profits across the Outer Rim. Oh what could have been had Disney had actually competent writers. Instead, we're supposed to believe the First Order conquered the entire galaxy in like 2 days. FFS.
I like the random WH40k reference there.
this is a good video, like the scene with baby yoda and the storm troopers in the desert.
The HR tagline for the Gammorean Guards:
Highly competitive pay, upward advancement, tools provided by employer... security detail for wealthy clientele
”1.8 meters or 5’8”
Me who is 5’11” (1.8m): And I took that personally!
Finally, a video for me.
I love the new style, I feel that it could be highly profitable haha. Seriously, keep up the good work I believe in you my guy
This was too funny. I really needed the humor.
0:31 yo I just noticed that that dude putting away his death sticks OMG that is so cool
Love the 40k reference... gotta be quick to hear it.
😜
gotta say Gammorean guards look like orks, or the model for the Bokoblin in OoT. Also the intro was very fun.
Yeah they remind me of warhammer 40k spore orcs
On Centari Prime they use a large moat of Morellian Blood Eels, very effective at keeping unwanted trash from interrupting what would otherwise be a splendid evening.
*you have to read this while rolling as many Rs and Ws as possible just like Ambassador Mulari
We have been trying to get ahold of you about your gommorean guards extended warranty
Killing Gamorrean Guards is like ringing the doorbell for these characters.
(Two Gamorrrean heads hit the ground in succession with two loud thuds)
It's for you, Milord.
Hello there friends! Welcome back to another episode, OF Generation Tech, my name is Allen
Now I feel bad about the poor things 😭
I never knew about the plight these big piggies are subjected to.
Equipment, experience, and training are great, but overwhelming numbers of troops even with minimal equipment can be a game changer. If you don’t believe me, look at the battle of Stalingrad.
Like the reference to the Cadian Gate incident
Ah finally - getting down to the real questions
Am I the only one wondering if they taste like pork? Because that opens up some more possibilities...
Gammoreans were certainly a cheaper option than keeping Mandalorians or Trandoshans on staff, as while both of those races were very efficient but would cost much more for the Hutts. Especially if they were hired to be guards for their palaces and would likely get pulled off of their guard duty to do a job for someone who would hire them. So having a primitive, brutish race like the Gammoreans were ideal as palace guards for regular usage as no one would likely hire them to handle something like claiming a bounty, handling black market deals, or basically anything that required usage of more than one brain cell. In other words, the Gammoreans were perfect for serving as everyday palace guards as they are expendable brutes who were easy to hire as palace guards and weren’t likely to ever uprise against their Hutt boss for better working conditions and pay.
Being a Gammeorean must really suck. Who else has to go through hell in Star Wars?
Whenever I go even as a clone I end up wiping out over a dozen of his guards. Probably like 20 max minimum 8.
Gammorean or B1 Battle Droid, who's less incompetent?
B1s
Come on Allen…. We need more info on the Pyke Syndicate.
OMG! I love your content! This is I was just finalizing my 2022 business plan for my own palace and this was super helpful in deciding my guard/greet preferences.
If you would be so able to look at doing a piece on taking down rival criminal syndicates or mercenary groups that’d be super helpful too.
System advising hey , I would agree they are rather inferior quality in high security. They might always remain so and commendation for noticing the Skywalker choke. You wouldn't want to be alone and outnumbered by them unarmed or even pulling out a concealed blasters, might snag like ropes do in the fight clubs.
When I was kid I liked Gamorrean guards so much I had big figure of one came with battle axe
Hey can you do a series on best bandit / mercenary bases please then design your own layout
2:33
I wouldnt say that Loyality is a Factor of Simple Mindness🌝
Good Video anyway 👌
Greets✌🇩🇪
Funny how i am watching at some Duel of the fathes memes and in suggestions pops up a gen tech video about jabbas guards
Gamoreans are like geonosians. It doesn’t matter how many you kill because they’re beneath humans so what does it matter how many die other than the little you actually pay them.
I was laughing hard. Thank you.
I would like too see a breakdown of the Gamorean race.
id use droidekas because they have 2 heavy repeating blasters and a shield and are easy to maintain. them and some Geonosians cuz they can fly and have totally OP sonic blasters and by far the COOLEST starfighter in all of star wars.
They do pretty well in Boba Fett
42 that's the number of gaurds you'd need to have a half-way decent syndicate in the Outter Rim.
Please make a video where the galactic republic with the jedi attack earth
I have 3 Gammorean Guards from LEGO and I can tell you if you step on them they WILL hurt you. Fact.
Cadia is the final nail in the imperiums coffin. BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!!
No.
Generation Tech: "you can't just jump into this business without a plan"
Boba Fett: "Never tell me the odds"
I didn’t ask for it but I appreciate your opinion. Good vid!
What about stormtroopers?
Albeit more expensive than garmorean but don’t think they are in anyway more significantly effective than Garmorean.
The possibility to train Garnorean to use blasters?
Don't forget to toss in a few for BBQ and Bunta Eve roasts .
Ya gotta feed your guests .
