If it were up to me, I'd make Legends Kessel the moon of Canon Kessel to explain where Glitterstim comes from in Canon while sticking with the fact Kessel has Coaxium mines.

[slicerneons]

Somebody decided life as an enslaved miner on a desolate rock near some black holes was too cushy a job, so they added Giant Underground Spiders.
Thank you for the nightmares EU.

[noideas-lq]

I really wished we would have seen energy spiders either in Solo or some Clone Wars episode

[BleachFan]

I still remember the Kessel mission from the original Rouge Squadron game, always hated that orange haze

[justanotherinternetmusicia]

Legends Kessel reminds me of Imperium Resource/Mining worlds in 40k, a constant and unending waking nightmare where the average lifespan depends on how fast you can run out of a mineshaft. Love it

[RLJSlick]

Good stuff as always. I will take legends story telling any day of the week!

[mayeuldelaunay]

Legends Kessel all the way. Plus it involved Nien Numb.

[zexalbrony]

Wow, a planet got a happy ending, that seems kind of rare given how much chaos there is in the Star Wars universe.

[jj_grabes]

Didn't know that tidbit at the end of Lando renovating the mines. Good on him for putting the injustice of Kessel to an end.

[spencersholden]

0:52 fun fact: this isn’t spice. It’s salt. Which is addictive to the Arcona who are the ones dumping it.

[indianajones]

Would have been interesting to see a Lethal Weapon type Clone Wars arc where the Coruscant Guard busts Pyke spice dealers

[IBW_]

With how it works and the fact it‘s implied that the celestial are the ones who created it, I wonder if glittestin was made using midichlorians or perhaps the force itself.

[lerneanlion]

If there is one planet worthy to be the Death Star's target, it will be Kessel. Without it, it means no more glitterstim.

[crazyviking]

Legends Kessel is better because of the theory that the Celestials had created the spiders/Glitterstem as a means of communication with mortal beings

[Lawrence_Talbot]

Please do Vjun for your next Smuggler Tales

[pason]

I just wana say thank you man I love your videos and keep up the amazing work!

[hamishsewell]

Legends version, for sure. How often does a planet need infrastructure to maintain an atmosphere?

[teleportedbreadfordays]

Another awesome video. I really do look forward to when you discuss the Maw and Kessel Run

[mitchcoleman]

Can you do more planetary guides on worlds that we’ve heard of in Star Wars media but still don’t know much about, like Hypori for example?? All I know about Hypori is just that is where Sidius killed Plaegus!!

[VaciliNikoMavich]

Legends Kessel. It was frightening for a reason 😅
