"There are three things all wise men fear: the sea in storm, a night with no moon, and the anger of a gentle man."-Patrick Rothfuss
"I would like to swing from the chandelier, Chris." -Patrick Rothfuss
Also- "Do not mistake kindness for weakness."
And a 4th thing........the fear of never completing the 3rd book in a trilogy.
5: The High Ground.
Fourth- The smile from a temptress.
Beware the lure into simpness my guys.
Wookiee’s like species in the Galaxy have had many bad apple within their history, and the Mad Claws are not just criminals who sought to cause harm to others, but they are a reminder to all their race of how close they really are to their inner beast that lives within all of them. Mad Claws are Wookiee’s that have gone absolutely insane or have abandoned all forms of honor within their species, and though some become little more than hired muscles to criminals, but a select few they become absolute monsters that will haunt the nightmares of their people and those across the Galaxy.
Makes you wonder if there's some splinter faction of honorable Trandoshans who are considered insane by their people.
I feel this applies to all species, especially us humans. We rarely remind ourselves how thin the line is between man and beast is for us as well... just look at the acts of brutality, both directly and systemically, we do to each other.
I think a mad claw is a once in a generation thing for wookies. Chewie was so in control that he even kept his cool when Han was murdered in front of him. If he was going to lose it he would have done it then and there having lost his honor and his best friend at the same time.
@@joel466 There is a companion in Star Wars: the Old Republic who is a Trandoshan. While he follows the same religion and creed than the rest of his species, he is far more friendly and respectful than the ones seen in Republic Commando, for example
I think the takeaway from the whole thing with the concept of Mad Claws can be summed up from how both Zalbar and Hanrarr took the titles personally. Zalbar when it was placed on him, he quickly realised what he did and even though he did quickly pull back after that episode, it still left a negative impact on him and made feel ashamed. With Hanrarr, it was the complete opposite he took the whole concept with pride thinking of it as a badge of honor in a sense because of how much of a sociopath he was.
Well, even the most nice and peaceful species can have a few bad apples that reflect how dark they can become if they are not careful, but that doesn't affect how a majority of them are good-natured and strive to be better than the worst of their species.
When you’ve trained for years to be an elite shock trooper of the Galactic Empire and you get your arms ripped off by a Wookie who then uses them as clubs to beat you to death
I’m suddenly amazed that the Sith never considered exploiting the Dark Side of Force Sensitive Wookiees. If they weren’t so Human-centrist, there would’ve been tons of power thrown around among their ranks.
@@TheRhetoricalQuestion i dont think palpatine was, he and his master before him just used human centrism as a tool
It's kinda worth noting that Force Sensitivity is EXTREMELY rare among Wookies, more so than it is among other galactic species.
@@elijahbutcher9522 but isn’t there a force sensitive Wookie in legends?
@@randycheow4268 Yes but I'm saying that unlike most species within the Star Wars Universe Force Sensitive Wookies were extremely rare, meaning few Wookies were ever Jedi, and even fewer if any were Dark Siders.
@@TheRhetoricalQuestion Maybe during Bane’s time (this isn’t counting the first Sith btw) given the nature of the Rule of Two, when they couldn’t afford to cut corners by being selective, but a lot of Sith were Humans and focused more on having Humans in their ranks.
I could only IMAGINE what the wookies would be like if they were ALL hostile towards anything that wasnt their species, kashyyk would be banned from anyone traveling to it i feel like
Yoda:"fear leads to the dark side lol."
Also Yoda: *hangs out with Wookies that everyone fears*
I will never forget Hanrarr. He was the most hardcore wookiee in history.
I'm convinced the idea for black krrsantan was taken from Hanrarr. They're similar aesthetically, although I'm not sure what Krrsantans back story is.
Edit: well now I know more lol
Krrsantan has nightmares about Hanharr.
He was Wookie Kratos.
Hardcore? The wookie was a psychotic mass-murderer. I'll take Black Krrsatin over him any day.
I actually feel kinda bad for that one trandocian. Dude was tryna drunk and have some fun and someone walks up rips his arms off and kicks his ass six ways to Sunday
MadClaw sounds like a cool name for a Wookiee Sith just imagine how brutal they would be
We need more Wookiee characters! Love them 💚
I heard a rumor in legends. That the Empire enslaved Wookiee's. And forced them to build the Death Star.
I wouldn't gamble with a Wookiee. I'll just watch behind the scenes. Seeing how they play their strategy.
Like a wise man once said "Let the wookie win".
Geets, this vid did nothing but just make me like Wookies more and inform us about infamous pieces of poodoo. Thank you!!😁
I wouldn’t take the risk of gambling against any Wookiee. Beating one and taking his/her credits wouldn’t be worth it if I have to replace one of my arms.
“Wookiees were peaceful and respectful creatures, until literally anything happened that isn’t exactly what they wanted”
Could you do a video about the Falleen species next? I always wanted to know more about Prince Xizor's species.
''Using your claws is too violent and animalistic! Just rip their arm off or something.''
have you made a video on the wooki that traveld with raven? if not can you do it, it sounds like a interesting story
Droids don’t pull people’s arms out of their sockets when they lose. Wookiees have been known to do that
The only time I remember actually seeing a Wookiee ripping his gaming opponent's arm off for beating him was when a drunken Wookiee did it to I-5YQ in the second book of the Medstar Duology. In SWtOR, there's also a pair of NPCs in Nemro the Hutt's palace sat across a gaming table from each other; a Wookiee and a protocol droid with both arms ripped off, implying that it happened a little before Imperial players walked in but we don't see the act.
Certain Droids might disintigrate them however.
* Eyes IG and HK *
Hanharr: I killed my clan to save them from slavers.
Broonmark: The tree-clan disgusts us! Must pay for betraying his clan! In blood!
They're so strong they don't worry about recoil with their blasters.
But did they know about the droid attack on the wookies
Yes. We and they will always know and remember that.
10:39 Thanks for the shout out Geetsly's.
Seeing as there's apparently quite a few fairly shady an even vicious species easily rivalling or eclipsing even description here.. wouldn't say these guys arent particularly Jakal an Hyde... Could be the giant slugs or Nemoidans again
Non topic related, but your Anakin/Vader breakdown is the best I have heard in TH-cam. My thoughts line up with yours with the exception of your explanation being better scripted. Whereas mine are a runaway train of continual thought with our pause. LOL
I will also share this vid
“It’s not wise to upset a Wookiee”
-Han Solo
I wouldn't even trust a Wookie to give me a friendly hug without creaking a few of my ribs.
Gungi will never be forgotten
Imagine that mad claw has met his own match that is human, except that human has an interest in playing the game just as much as that mad claw does?
Little bit of Adamantium power armor and good kick in the ass and you’ll swear you saw some Astartes swinging thru the trees.
when a imperial officer call them beasts, maybe he saw, how wookies slaughter his comrades before his eyes and his words maybe have weight
Was black krasantan a mad claw?
I didn't know Zaalbar was considered a madclaw. Temporary but still, I didn't know.
I wouldn't gamble against a Wookie but I would take gambling advice from one.
Wookiees? Sinister? If I met a Wookiee like that, I'd bring a moon to drop on its face, Yo'Gand's-Core-style! Ripping arms off would seem like a handshake by that point.
I think whether I was going to be comfortable around a wookiee or not would depend upon one thing more than any other... How do you define slavery. I personally identify with the concept of intangible slavery, for me not possessing the ability to act counter to one's own instincts is the opposite of sentience... and at that point it is quite accurate to state that such a being is in fact a slave unto others as well as unto themselves (these kinds of people I detest spending time around). If the wookiee were in agreement on this then I would trust him more not to lose his temper over frivolous things, otherwise I would simply state we had no reason for getting to know one another better and simply walk away. That being said, I would probably hold all members of all species to this same standard (as I so often do in real-life).
I always liked in Timothy Zahn's SW novels from the EU how he added the detail Wookies had retractable climbing claws on their heels to help them move about the trees with ease. Little details like this make a difference to many readers. Something the writers at Disney and their live action films and shows have always failed to notice and implement. Like where were Cad Banes rocket boots in live action? The rocket boots gave him a tactical advantage over almost any foe he faced and constantly got him out of trouble. But leave it to Disney to ruin him like they always do to legacy characters. Cool vid as always though man. I wish the SW producers would reach out to guys like you who could help them accurately portray more of the SW characters.
Death troopers kinda hinted this for me
You bring dishonor to your family because you unleashed your claws (from memory not perfect)
For using them as a weapon instead of a tool. Using claws as a weapon is a sign of an animal.
Three words: *magnificent* walking carpets.
lol "Acts such as grooming one another"
*image depicts two wookies fighting* 3:39
I was always wondered what happened w the Wookiee attack on the Droids.??
Yes... the likes of Chuundar and Hanharr thought me as such.
(Also, "sinister" on the title.)
List of wookiee bounty hunters.
1.) Snoova
2.) Hanharr
3.) Francis
4.) Black krrsantan
Even a peaceful happy wookie could be dangerous, you have any idea how strong a wookie bear hug must be?
I'm sad that I never got to see Chewbacca tear someone's arm out of the socket. I've wanted to see that since I saw the first movie as a kid
It's his melee attack in LEGO Star Wars 2 - The Original Trilogy - while most ranged characters switch to their fists when opponents get into melee range, Chewie jumps on them and pops both their arms off
@@ZoeMalDoran yeah but there's no blood or screaming. Its too cute
@@PinkyJujubean well, yeah, it's LEGO logic ;)
Chewie did in the Solo movie. Funny cos by ripping the arms off - he rekd the one uniform that was the right size to fit Solo
One of the cooleest ships was the wookie anti-slaver gunship made mostly from wood.
Hanharr was more like a Trandoshan than a typical Wookie.
Once again Legends is shown to be superior to Disney
Thanks 🙏 for the content! I had a horrible morning.
Need this.
Who would win? Hanharr (KOTOR 2), or Black Krrsantan (Book of Boba Fett)?
I remember context being a massive thing for the old star wars movies. Han Solo basically pulled intimidation just to harass C3PO. The knights of the old republic references were on point, though. Instead of being the blustering babies that don't like losing games, wookies generally had honor and wisdom, being one of the species with a significant life span.
Never knew Wookie culture is similar to Yautjas
If I had to choose between Klingons and Wookies, I'd pick Wookies.
Heck I would want a Wookiee as a crew member and friend
What are some other *Sinisiter* races?
“And cha Wookie” -Jabba the Hutt
Never mess with a Wookiee. I want both my arms intact.
What about the droid attack on the wookies
Always let the wookie win keep the nugget of wisdom
I thought Han was being coy when he said to let Chewie win. Especially with the way Chewie acted after, it seemed like he was bluffing. Chewie also seemed too proper to go into a rage for something like that. And Han and Leia also goaded him quite a bit in A New Hope, with Leia calling him a rug and shoving him out of the way while Chewie still kept his cool.
I know that Wookies could go into rages and stuff for minor reasons, but that seems to be the exception not the rule. Like how humans can go into rages for no reason, but 99 percent can control their anger. Hell Chewie could even control himself when Han was murdered in front of him despite owing a life debt to him, which should have been a BIG reason for the sake of his honor and loss of his best friend.
Especially with Chewie being a "noble" son Wookie(I think his dad was a chief or something) It doesn't seem likely to apply to wookies in general more, this is a bad Wookie that is very rare. Watch out cause they can be insanely dangerous but that a once in a generation thing.
Parts of this video make me wish I were a wookiee on Kashyyyk instead of a human on Earth
Here is a versus battle for you all to imagine:
Hanharr(The Mad Claw Wookiee) vs The Wolf(The Yatua cleanup Predator)
Who takes the Win?
IS THAT THE ANGRY BIRDS FONT
Kotor 2 Wookie was freakin hard to beat with Mira bruh...
Fun fact: my childhood dog was named after Chewbacca's wife from the Christmas special
We never see much of any race in the movies . Other than the Gungans .
I don't gamble, so I'll consider myself lucky.
Is chubaka a mad claw?
I wish wookies we're real they can be are Best friends and a wookie hug will be the best
The best, and the last for you
Well start looking for Bigfoot. He's the closest thing to a wookie
Working seggs 🥵
@@sabersroommate8293 better be prepared to birth them girthy furry eggses
Innspired by Jules Verne - The Village in the Treetops
If you shave one, they loose all confidence.
You did not just say that! You did not just say keep them at arm’s-length, when the Wookiee is actually measuring an arms length with a severed arm in his hand!?!
A whole race of Bigfoots.
At least Trandoshan arms grow back...
Cool
I wouldn't want to get on a Wookiee's bad side. Still that would not stop me from befriending them.
Mad Claw: Wookie dark side.
A Silverback Kodiak Gorilla-Bear; With the temperament of a African Elephant.
But what about the droid attack on the wookiees?
This sounds like my friend except minus all the good things
Angry giant fuzzballs best fuzzballs.

COWABUNGA IT IS
E wookie chombo bamba ( something like that)
Would I gamble with a wookie no. Would I like one as friend yes. And I would love to study wookie culture in great depth
>canon
>Book of Boba Fett
You gotta pick one my man.
What?
Our intro to wookies in the OT is Han telling us that they are known for ripping limbs off annoying people and droids.
I ♥Wookies.
wtf is this wookie racism on my timeline CANCELLED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Senate is more innocent than the Wookiees.
Wow....
So the Empire was pretty much right about the wookies
Finished Kotor 2 for the first time last night Mira was like you're talking mad shit for a wookie in double bladed lightsaber range.
Upon hearing about Hunharr again, I wanted to know that his quest for hunting and exterminating all humans are justified or not. After all, humans caused nothing but troubles wherever they go.
okay so saying that hanharr is the dark side of wookies and their true sinister side is a little off no, one bad one dosent show the whole sinister side, that would be like saying droids all have a very sinister and dark side because there was a droid called tripple 0, like i see you saying this is what they can become but it dosent make sense to say that the whole species has a sinister side due to the actions of one wookie.
20 credits i dont get my arm ripped off it i win
Ja I like trandoshan but didn't find nice figurines
First
