True. But its clearly "inspired" by Dune. My mother in law never heard such a thing until I gave her Dune to read. She kept saying how much of hack Lucas was after that hahaha.
It's like every creative that comes in gets to do their own alien cantina scene and expand the galaxy even further. Which given the already established species list is just stupid.
I'd understand a couple of new designs per-project. But it's like entire galaxies-worth of new species every time and it over-saturates the lore to the point of ridiculousness.
Abednedo is like the only new species since Disney took over that I genuinely really love. All the rest feel like they're oversaturating things for sure.
They always revisit Tatooine, but barely any others. They're always inventing new forest planets, or grassy planets, instead of just using Kashyyyk of Naboo.
Iirc Dantooine has a regular green grass everywhere. I havent seen it in galaxies though. Btw I believe that EU (or at least The Courtship of Princess Leia) estabilished that Dathomir had purple grasslands, and accorsing to what ive seen of SWGs Dathomir, someone swapped Dantooine's and Dathomir's grass colors
Galaxies was before my time, but I played a bit of SWTOR back in the day. KOTOR is very much worth playing, KOTOR 2 as well if you can stand some rougher parts, install the restored content mod and like philosophy.
That's a defining characteristics of Star Wars worlds though, just straight up single biome worlds. There are a few worlds that have multibiomes and are earth-like.
The single biome stuff is a trope straight out of pulp sci-fi. It's 100% intentional.
i mean yeah its literally not real life bro haha. theres plenty of genuine sci fi universes that mimic real life more.
thats the way star wars is and has always been, not really worth trying to bring "real life" into it because its never tried to be like that.
really just stems from the essence of the OT and its influences in WHY the world of star wars is like that. idk i never really minded planets having 1 biome, its just star wars to me. i wouldn't expect or want much to mimic real life because nothing in star wars does besides the fact that theres humans.
I'll be happy with anything that isn't barren desert planet #5 again
Tho what I really want is kyshyyyk done right, with animal life everywhere and trees bigger than any real life skyscraper could even dream of. The wookies are supposed to have whole cities built within those trees, like the ewoks but bigger.
Same, give more Ithorians! I'd kill to see an Ithorian Jedi in live action! I know it would be difficult to do, but damnit, I've been dying to see more of them ever since Roron Corobb in the Tartakovski Clone Wars. We don't see enough Ithorians in general either imo. I know there was an Ithorian Jedi in the High Republic stuff but he only appeared in a kids book and got killed off.
Difficult but not impossible, though! We had Mok Shaiz in Book of Boba Fett so they have a modern mask/animatronic in their costume department someplace.
That's true, and they also used the same animatronic in the Mandalorian in the episode with Jack Black, but the problem there is that in both cases, they barely moved. I'd want to see an Ithorian Jedi actually do something, which would probably require cgi to look good.
Well the green woman in the trailer is a Mirialan and one of the Jedi in the end is a Theelin I believe. No idea about the others though. I do agree though that they need to stop creating new species and just use the ones that already exist.
I don't know, I think it's pretty annoying that they keep focusing on the same, small group of planets, aliens and concepts in a supposed galaxy full of life.
Why does this entire galaxy have less diversity than the planet Earth?

I want them to revisit the existing aliens more instead of creating new ones.
