    Lets see if we can make some more life here: if the vong appeared in the new EU or movies they will be different, at least in use. from how they were in the old EU. How would people like to see them appear and/or be used in the new continuty?

    Meh. Since the new continuity takes place about when the Vong war happened I don't see how it could happen....

    I always imagined the Yuuzhan Vong could function like the Predator from the John McTiernan movie. In my opinion, a SW story in which a commando team runs into a Yuuzhan Vong while on mission would be exciting. What do you think?

    Good idea- I just don't see the YV sitting still in the galaxy doing nothing and lying low. At least not the entire race pre-NJO. Maybe a commando team can run into Nom Anor and a couple of warriors.

    Another ide could be that they have carved out a domain somewhere in the UR or the galactic edge and function like regional superpower whose exotic biotechnology is something the good or bad guys use to fight their foe who are not prepared for that kind of iteams.

    I was mainly think of as the Yuuzhan Vong seeing it as a preparation. To see face-to-face what how its future enemies behave in combat. Also, I never imagned it to be big scale. One Yuuzhan Vong facing off against a small commando squad would be fine in my opinion.

    Edit: Was still writing my message while Gamiel posted his.

    On page 40 of the Black Sun thread, I wrote a post featuring Yuuzhan Vong technology. Some of you might find it interesting. In a way, it already included what Gamiel suggested.

    As Emperor Palpatine personal shuttle exited hyperspace, the ship began shaking heavily. The hull of the ship suddenly came under so much pressure that a crackling sound could be heard from within the shuttle. Even the Royal Guards, who had been trained to suppress their fear, began wondering whether the ship would hold out. When the pilots managed to get the ship back under control, course was set to a nearby asteroid field. Evading the asteroids without any maps available was not an easy task. Luckily, the people flying the shuttle were among the best pilots in the entire Galaxy. Hidden within the asteroid field lay a planet that almost no one knew about. To those who did know its existence, the planet was known as Eclipse.

    The shuttle landed on a platform located close to a gigantic, ultra-modern building. Even for those accustomed to new technology and strange locations, the environment looked quite odd. When Emperor Palpatine and Prince Xizor, escorted by red-armoured Royal Guards, left the shutte they immediately saw their arrival had not gone by unnoticed. The battle droids surrounding the shuttle seemed a combination of modern technology and organic material. Suddenly, a mechanical voice announced a message. WELCOME, EMPEROR. WELCOME, PRINCE. PLEASE, ENTER. Leaving all Royal Guards behind, Palpatine and Xizor made their way towards the strange-looking complex.

    Inside the building, three guards stept forward whose uniforms existed of living material. One of them wore a mask which did not appear to have any eye holes. Using his hands, the masked guard invited the Imperial delegation to follow him. 'All this was made possible by our Savior. He drove the Far Outsiders away when they attacked our planet. When the invaders left, my people began combining the Far Outsider's technology with our own. The implementation, however, has left many of us... disformed', the masked guard explained. After walking through some large, white-coloured hallways, the group approached what looked like an office. The man sitting behind the desk stood up, greeting his guests. Although he was smiling, nothing about his smile seemed genuine, almost as if he did not know how to smile. Using his six-fingered hand, he pushed a button on a control pannel, closing the door of the room. Then, he introduced himself as Mr. Blue, the Black Sun Overlord.

    Unfortunately the Vong weren't popular with the General fanbase and I doubt they will ever be brought back

    However I do like the idea that in some remote corner of the unknown regions the Vong forged their own little state and interacted with the Galaxy on a scale that wasn't a war for civilization.

    I liked the war. And the Vong were pretty popular. Just depends on where you look. :)

    I miss the Vong and the variety they brought to Star Wars. Wish we could have seen them redeemed.

    The Vong were awesome. Much better than any **** the new canon could crank out.

    Well they had planned a Yuuzhan Vong appearance in Clone Wars, but the show got cancelled before it happened. So we were pretty close to a Vong scout ship in canon.

    In my mind, which merges both canons, it still happens but somewhat earlier. Moving forward the timeline so Krytos Trap ends as the Battle of Jakku takes place moves the Vong War to 21 to 25 ABY.

    I heard the TCW thing had a sort of X-files plot where nothing was made clear to the audience our heroes would pursue the scout ship following various leads. Eventually they would get to the edge of the Galaxy and I imagine the arc would end with someone saying "Well not sure what that was, hope it doesn't come back. " something that would perhaps be an invitation for TCW fans to explore the lore further and a wink and nod to EU fans.

    Having researched the matter further I reject my previous assumption. TCW would have totally ruined the Vong. First off being a kids show they wouldn't have shown just how pain oriented the Vong were and probably would have avoided the religion aspect. Most damning is that they would not be force resistant. In other wors the whole thematic breadth the NJO was built on would have crumbled. TCW would have made them exotic evil aliens apparently.

    So we can be glad they were not canonized because they would have been trashed if they were.

    Darth Invictus You're right. TCW would have majorly ***ked up the YV. If they didn't dampen the vong down a tv show about them would be very likely rated TV-MA because be a good show in the right hands,though.

    TCW Vong: Extragalactic aliens who attempt to take over the galaxy. Blah Blah they are darksiders Blah Blah not force resistant Blah Blah use technology Blah Blah lame imperial type villains Blah Blah not religious Blah Blah aren't masochistic. You get the point.

    Yeah the Vong being force resistant apparently goes against Lucas current conceptions, the religion thing would be avoided so as not offend or create controversy, and the pain aspect would have been ignored because it's PG tv, the extragalactic would have been ignored because apparently Lucasfilm thinks the fans can't comprehend the Star Wars Universe is bigger than the Galaxy.

    Yeah they would have ruined them.

    Lucas apparently, it's why there are no ysalamiri in Rebels. Which is silly and makes Thrawn even worse than Rebels had already trashed.
