The fact that these things were made by the Verpine species explains a lot about 8D8's sadism. Even their weapons have an overkill/sadistic bent to them.

[toganium]

It’s funny to me how a literal torture machine gets upset by people not respecting Boba Fett.

[samnelson]

Something about the way 8d8 says 'lord fett' is hilarious. Hope to see more of him.

[UncleMikeDrop]

They use "Royal Jelly" similarly to silver spoon. It was likely a humorous comment on how feudal systems are similar to hive hierarchies in their rigidiry.

[clayno.]

I love this droid, but nobody is talking about how he is voiced by Matt Berry, a brilliant uk actor, he should get more credit

[DR-pqki]

My impression (and head canon) was that the Droid (GNK power droid) that got "tortured" into screaming was actually performing as a training aid, rather than a actual victim. Thus keeping the torturer "sharp" for when it got actual victims to interrogate and torture.

[mdxque]

Man, "bug aliens" that make droids can't seem to catch a brake.

[Fatherofheroesandheroines]

I agree with Ysonne Isard. Keep your enemies close and the Verpines closer.

[swapertxking]

i feel like out there in the galaxy at large; there's a medical droid who's fascinated by organic reactions to the point of sadistic curiosity, preforming medical procedures in grueling, slow, and painful ways that are more torturous than medical... but still strives to ensure the better health of the organic coming out of surgery than going in... even if that involves removing the skin and re-attaching it.





I shall call it MN-77, a product of overzealous supervisors, and aging software buildup

[mattwebb]

I feel like the sarcasm for this droid is the best I’ve seen in Star Wars tho L3 is still up there!

[watcherzero]

I can just imagine Clem Fandango giving instructions to Matt Berry when he was in the booth recording his lines for the droid.... lol

[samuelfawell]

I like that as a droid he is clearly trying to be more, he’s doing something very organic, he is aspiring to be and do more.

Video ideas:
• A Coruscant Planet Bio to add to your Planets Lore Collection/Playlist.
• A video on Darth Krayt's entire life story.
• A few videos on different Lightsaber crystals, and types (I know Stupendous Wave did a bunch of videos on this topic, but I would like you to make some videos on that too).
• A Darth Caedus/Jacen Solo biography video, or two.
• A Planet Bio of The Moons of Yavin, and Endor.
• And finally, A Ship Breakdown (or Updated versions of old ship breakdowns) of The Executor-class SSD, and/or The MC80b.
Thank you for your great content.

[Temerald]

That RoTJ torture scene terrified me as a child thanks for the vid Metanerdz! More vids on ships/vehicles like the Gozanti class, Lancer class or maybe some rebellion/resistance era like the Raddus? Just an idea

[anotherknafguy]

"My name is Jackie Daytona, human bartender" oh I love Matthew Berry, great choice for the voice of the droid.

[gigagian]

My favorite part about the EV series of droids? Moving mouth actuators. Completely unnecessary yes, but it's just that kind of extra bit of craftsmanship I've come to expect from MerenData Inc.

[alem]

Metanerdz coming back with more banger videos!
For the next vid, an updated Rancor breakdown would be cool to see

[amysargent]

I would love to see a video comparing/contrasting The Tactical Geniuses of Darth Revan, and Grand Admiral Thrawn. I think Revan is criminally underrated in that field, since it was Revan who (virtually) took down The Mandalorian Empire single-handedly, nearly defeated The Old Republic itself afterwards, then fought his own Sith Empire after that, and he won those fights (mostly). If he isn't as tactically great as Thrawn, try comparing him to Admiral Ackbar instead.

[escott]

This is an interesting video! Its really cool how there is so much backstory even on such a minor character. Thats one of many really awesome things about Star Wars.

[Dovah_Slayer]

Im glad you are still making videos and even revisting old topics when new information comes out
