So basically you're just spewing nonsense about something you know little about.

Checks out for you!

A reveal later in the story is not a retcon or backtracking, btw.

Being "outside the force" because they're from a different galaxy is just... incredibly stupid.

That's not why they're outside the Force. It was speculated both in and out of universe as the reason before it's revealed why they're actually cut off towards the end of the series. Between this and your comment about self-mutilation I question how familiar you actually are with the series or if you're just going off what you've heard.

Also the BDSM/self-mutilation thing isn't an across the board trait for the Vong, it's more of a factional trait. There's a Vong faction early on that gets focused on that's really fuckin' into it and are viewed as extremists even by the other Vong.

What they ARE all into is replacing body parts with creatures and implants that give them various abilities, and if your body rejects an implant, hey guess what, the gods hate you and now you're of the lowest caste.

No, this one is something I'll never budge on. The Vong are, without a doubt and with no exceptions, the single worst creation in the entire history of Star Wars.

Worse than the holiday special. Worse than the ysalamiri. Worse than Luuke Skywalker.

Cool. Still wrong.

I like the idea of a non Jedi/Sith conflict in this world but this has always felt like peak fanfic.

I mean it was.

Still loved it. Maybe because I grew up reading the Young Jedi books and those students from Luke's academy take the forefront here. Maybe because it's not Jedi v Sith again, who knows?

TL:DR - species from outside the galaxy invades, they have a fanatical religious hatred for machines and all their ships/weapons/etc are biotech, they wage a holy war, lots of people die. Also they can't be sensed in the Force and you can't use it on them directly as they are cut off from it.

The total casualty rate for the Yuuzhan Vong war was 365 trillion.

Which is non-canon and probably proof that sci-fi writers can't do math, but that's a big fuckin' number and patently not the total population.

TBF the Vong had a tendency to scour entire planets by dropping moons on them and hitting them with viruses that eradicated all life, but yeah that number is suspect even with that.

its probably because the prequels were written years after the OT. If the prequels came first, or at least were preplanned, there would probably be a bigger time skip between them.

This is the real world reason, but in universe there's only like 10000 Jedi and literally thousands of planets with millions of beings on each, most would never even see or hear of a Jedi. Add in Palps actively waging a disinformation campaign and destroying knowledge of the Force and the Jedi once he was in power and it makes sense to a degree that there are skeptics like Han.

It's this.

Most of the Empire has no idea that Palps is a Sith and they just think he's a weird old man who got fucked up by the Jedi. More of them know that Vader is a Force user and Palps' enforcer but even that isn't super widespread. Helps that Palps actively purged information about the Force and the Jedi in the early days of the Empire.

You can get to LV70 in less than one quest if you reset sidequest progress and go do the cat quest in Nibelheim. The bees give a ton of experience and if you don't kill the queen bee they keep coming. Took less than ten minutes for me, then you can chapter select again and restore quest progress to revert back to however many you had completed before.

Mental gymnastics much? Jesus.
Just stop.

* - In addition to whoever that was I circled in red.

Nah pointing out that you're outright ignoring the child in the image and the undercurrent of racism in the image to go "oh wait the problem is that he doesn't agree with me about these characters being hot!" isn't redirection it's a statement of fact, one you don't have the spine to confront.

Broooo. You're being severely disingenuous.

They were asking if I'd ever make a black character in a character creator and I said no basically because I don't identify with being black. I'm autistic so sometimes I think things in my head and don't actually say them out loud or write them.

I usually just make a basic attractive chick but I don't know where you could have misconstrued that as "I don't think black people aren't attractive" after literally JUST making a post saying I disagreed with grummz image and pointed out what I thought were two attractive black women in his image.

Stop being dishonest.

The fact that your problem with the image is that you happen to disagree with Grummz on a few of his choices and not the fact that there's a child on there or the weird undercurrent of racism because most of the characters are minorities just really says everything we need to know.

Yes. That "natural intelligence" is an excuse to say that Kong is outclassed and needs a booster to be able to fight with better monsters than himself. Everyone else is biting, clawing, punching, kicking, or using internal weapons like ice or flame breath. Kong is using an external weapon that he found somewhere -- probably fashioned by an ape more intelligent than himself. Maybe we'll find out in the next film that Suko's grandmother was the one who fashioned that axe.

LMAO you are genuinely hilarious. Natural intelligence in quotes like it's not a thing just to continue to push your insane take.

Why is it a stupid comparison? When have kaiju ever made a strategy of using an external weapon as their sole means of combat? If it's a poor comparison, it's because I chose boxing rather than wrestling. Godzilla films have borrowed from pro wrestling fights since the original King Kong vs Godzilla. Kong's still bringing a chair into the ring and basing his entire strategy around it.

Godzilla, Mothra, Ghidorah, Rodan, and the others are all fighting primarily with their natural weapons. Kong is like, "Hold up, let me get my Power Glove."

There's no "cheating" in a kaiju fight, that's why it's stupid. There's no rules, it's not a boxing match, it's a dumb comparison.

Again, Kong's natural intelligence (one of his natural weapons!) and abilities allowing him to use tools is something they've really leaned into in these movies. Did you pay attention at all?
