The Arcona take the termâ getting saltyâ to a whole new level
-
âHow addiction crippled an entire generationâ Star Wars gets too real with some of the lore at times and thatâs part of why Iâve always loved it
-
Now if someone ever asks you "what's the saltiest species in the Star Wars galaxy?" You'll know the answer
-
It reminds me of those Harry Turtledove books where aliens invade in the middle of WW2 and find ginger to be an addictive substance.
-
So was El Les just constantly getting high off of sea spray on Kamino?
-
Too much salt can actually killed humans too. But the lack of salt is also equally damaging. However, I also wondered that the Arconans will like the pink salt from the Himalaya Mountains without getting addicted or not. Also, this video is definitely one of my favorites on this channel now because it featured a Blue Giant.
-
considering that we had conflicts over spices here in real life, this isn't all that surprising for me.
-
"Hey you wanna buy some salt?" (waves hand) "You want to go home and rethink your life"
-
"The ceiling is salt, the floor is salt, the walls are salt. And to an extent the air is salt. And you breathe that in and you constantly taste the salt"
-
Perhaps the Celestials Terraformed Cona to have life, in the legends it is said by an artificial intelligence Rakata that he supposedly created the Twi'leks or Zabraks.
-
Always amazed me how much detail and lore that is put into each different species.
-
Pk if I owned a restaurant I would have to guard the sachets and shakers very closely... imagine what they'd do to the Dead Sea
-
The Arcona homeworld could have come from another system, where the planet was once an orphan world after it lost its star. Only for it to be caught in the gravity of its new star, that blue giant.
-
There's one thing you didn't mention: Apparently, the Arkona's designers were inspired by E.T.
-
Maybe their star system arrived from a parallel universe, where blue giants either live longer or life evolves with extreme speed. That universe could also lack Sodium entirely, only other salts with chlorine, so introduction to an entirely new element might mess with their biology.
-
Their eyes literally turned golden yellow compared their non addicted counterparts they had green eyes.
-
The amount drugs affecting so many will no doubt change entire species who take the drugs will be different from what they could have been, similar to how people with a lot of potential and drive could change for the worst when they consume drugs.
-
I remember discovering this fact in swtor, this is one of the most interesting lores of star wars
-
hide the salt shakers!
-
Very cool lore, but it baffles me how it could have taken so long to discover the effects of salt on their species. Did they just never eat food prepared by or for another species, or partake in any drinks that had salt in them? It seems extremely unlikely, to the point of impossibility, for such a wide spread and evidently curious species to have never noticed this effect until then...
