With the release of Clone Wars Season 7 episode 12 and the end of the Clone Wars as a whole,
many of us were disappointed that we didn’t get to see some of the unfinished episodes
make it into season 7.
So who were the Yuuzhan Vong and why were they going to be included in the Clone Wars
Season 7, before being cut out by Disney.
I’m going to break down exactly who the Yuuzhan Vong are and the role that they would
have played in the Clone Wars Season 7, if Dave Filloni was able to complete the episodes.

The Yuuzhan Vong, also referred to as “the far outsiders”, by the Chiss, were a species
of aliens that originated outside of the known Star Wars Galaxy in Legends.
This species was one of the very few species that came from outside of the known galaxy,
and were able to travel to it through the intergalactic medium.
The Yuuzhan Vong almost destroyed the New Republic after their arrival into the known
galaxy, and were responsible for the deaths of over 365 trillion beings during their invasion
of it.
The average member of the species closely resembled the humans of the known galaxy,
but were slightly taller and heavier than the standard Coruscant human.
The Yuuzhan Vong were extremely religious, and they viewed any form of mechanical technology
as a form of blasphemy against their beliefs.
Because of this, all of the technological innovation of their species was genetically
engineered and purely organic.
On top of this, Yuuzhan Vong absolutely loved pain.
They believed that the god they worship, sacrificed their to create their home galaxy.
These guys were crazy…
They even attempted to improve their physical strength and capabilities through organ grafting,
where they attach the organs of others to themselves, in hopes of improving their physicality.
The most notable feature of this species however, is that they were not affected by or even
part of the force.
The Vong were unable to be sensed through the force, and their bodies were unable to
be manipulated by the force, such as through a force choke.
Luke’s new Jedi Order at the time of their invasion were absolutely shocked to learn
that traditional force powers did not work on them and that they were not able to be
sensed in the force.
Let me know down in the comments below whether or not you like the idea of having beings
from another galaxy that are immune to the force.
Moving it straight back into the Clone Wars Season 7, Dave Filloni was in the process
of writing a 4 episode story arc that would foreshadow the invasion of these outsiders
during Luke’s new Jedi Order.
The story would have only involved the Vong in a very minimal way, but would be extremely
impactful to later storytelling around the Sequel Trilogy era.
Of course, we know how that now panned out.
In these unfinished episodes, A Yuuzhan Vong scout ship was attempting to assess the strength
of the Republic at the time, so that they could determine a perfect time to enter the
galaxy for their invasion.
You can see the concept art for the Yuuzhan Vong Scout ship on screen now, honestly such
an awesome design!
The Vong Stationed on the scout ship were also inspecting the Jedi Order, in hopes of
learning what these mysterious force wielders really were.
Pablo Hidalgo, who was working with Dave Filloni on these unfinished episodes said that the
arc would have a “horror feeling” and would be an extremely creepy story, something
relatively new to the Clone Wars at the time.
He also said there would have been an X-Files type episode, where someone from the Republic,
possibly even a Jedi, would be abducted by the Yuuzhan Vong for further inspection of
their force powers.
Because George Lucas did not believe the Yuuzhan Vong should have immunity to the force, he
altered the story so that they would be normal force sensitives, similar to the Jedi and
the Sith.
In this story, we also know that these unknown creatures likely did come from an outside
Galaxy, just like Legends, but we don’t know anything about their history or culture.
So that’s everything we know about how the Yuuzhan Vong Clone Wars unfinished episode
would have gone.
Let me know down in the comments which Jedi you think deserved to be kidnapped by the
Vong for experimentation.
