*Wookie 1:* Should we colonise a planet far away from the Trandosians, along a hidden hyperspace route, just in case?

*Wookie 2:* Nah, the Republic has been stable for millennia. What could go wrong?

This is the content I'm here for. Maybe when you do astrography you could do a little editing magic and highlight the different tradelines you're talking about on the map, since the font is pretty small in the essential atlas?

Wookies were highly prized as slaves mainly because their species are naturally very strong, resilient and intelligent enough to operate complex machinery. During the Empire, many Wookies were taken off Kashyyyk and pressed into servitude, forced to work in the mines of Kessel or build the first Death Star. Chewbacca himself was almost condemned to a life of slavery sometime after the Clone Wars when he was captured by a Trandosian slaver, but he was able to break free and lead a successful slave revolt.

What about the droid attack on the Wookiees?

[marshalllatta]

I love kashyyyk it's such a beautiful planet wookiees and there planet are two of the best star wars media

[inquisitorgarza]

When you are in the middle of the Galaxy you tend to have a lot traffic, and when make a lot of hyperspace routes you tend to make them near your home.

I love Star Wars Legends Geopolitics, and would like to see a video about the most staunch Imperial Worlds after the battle of Endor (And Why)

6:26 Draa, Nemec and Fireball fought in the 2nd Battle Of Geonosis, Battle Of Alzoc 3, and Battle Of Kashyyyk alongside Luminara Unduli Yoda and Quinlan Vos from the 41st Elite Corps

[michaelandreipalon]

If only Kashyyyk is one of those stable nature planets, like Dantooine and Ithor. Would have loved to make it the true capital of the galaxy, even as a simple government center and not as an overabundant population center.

[tsfjkjz]

Very interesting, but what about the droid attack on the Wookies?

[zexalbrony]

Wookies, there not just awesome fighters, they have a lot more influence and skills. There jack's of all trades.

6:26 Trandoshans traded Sev to Mount Tantis

"One does not simply *FORCE* a Wookie's paw"

-H. Solo (probably)

[justsomeguy]

Bothans always seem to know the right Allies

[lerneanlion]

With the Third Republic is no more by the end of the Sequel Trilogy, I guess the Hutts will come back to Kashyyk Region now. And this time, they're most likely here to stay.

[TheWarmachine]

Chewbacca: *upset that R2-D2 beat him in a game*

C-3PO: "What are you talking about? He made a fair move. Screaming about it won't help you."

Han Solo: "It's not wise to upset a Wookie."

C-3PO: "But sir, no one is worried about upsetting a Droid."

Han Solo: "Because Droids don't pull people's arms out of their sockets when they lose. Wookies are known to do that."

One of the more important vids you Folks have put together Geetsly's, thanks much for this.
Great to know the importance of planets, the hyper-routes and sectors they are within, as it provides better rationale for why the War's theatres received the attention they did.
Thanks much! (again!) :)

[lemonly_fresh]

You could say it's a system you cannot afford to lose

[yeye]

May I just say I’ve watched your videos for years and you have one of the most relaxing voices on yt

[wedgeantillies]

Great video, explaining why the wookie's and by extension their home world plays such a vital role in the stability of the republic by keeping a decent chunk of the inner rim intact, as well as strategically being a key hub of commerce and navigation and supply route for the armies of the republic as well as one of the ferocious loyalist world in the republic. Which is why the Empire's attempts to subjugate that loyalty, created one of the most staunchly supportive member of the rebellion from the getgo of its creation.
