Who Are the Yuuzhan Vong?

The Yuuzhan Vong Are Nomadic Aliens from Outside of the Star Wars Galaxy. They Are Religious Zealots Whose Own Homeworld -- a Living Organism Itself -- Had Been Destroyed. They Viewed Mechanical Technology as Blasphemy, Instead Focusing on Developing Biotech Such as Organ Grafting. They Were Considered Masochistic, Using Pain as a Means of Worship. Throughout Their Lives, They'd Remove Their Limbs and Replace Them with Those of Other Creatures.

What Could the Yuuzhan Vong Mean for the New Star Wars Canon?

If the Yuuzhan Vong Does Show up in the New Canon -- and That's a Big If -- I See Two Possible Ways They Can Be Used Based on Current, Known Plans for the Franchise. the First Is That the Yuuzhan Vong Invasion Could Be the "Era-Defining Event" Planned for Dave Filoni's Star Wars Movie. Perhaps Thrawn Encounters the Yuuzhan Vong in This Other Galaxy He's Stranded In, or Otherwise Somehow Makes Them Aware of a Nearby Galaxy Ripe for Conquering. Once Thrawn Himself Is Dealt With, the Yuuzhan Vong May Emerge as the Next Major Threat. If Filoni Chooses to Emulate Highlights from the Original, Then Bo-Katan Uniting the Mandalorians in the Mandalorian Can Lead to Her Bringing Them to the New Republic's Aid, as Boba Fett Did in the Original Telling and the Yuuzhan Vong Conquering Coruscant Can Explain Why the New Republic Moved Its Government's Capital from Coruscant to Hosnian Prime by the Time of Star Wars: the Force Awakens.

Ahsoka Could Be Setting up the Debut of Some Major Star War Expanded Universe Villains

Direct Answer • Key Takeaway

Star Wars: Ahsoka Appears to Be Loosely Adapting the Thrawn Trilogy of Novels That Served as the Cornerstone of the Old Star Wars Expanded Universe, Which Pits the Fledgling New Republic Against the Imperial Remnant Led by the Returned Grand Admiral Thrawn. One Change to That Story Could Be Setting up Another Major Villain Who Challenged the New Republic and the New Jedi Order of the Expanded Universe, the Yuuzhan Vong. in the Original Thrawn Trilogy, Grand Admiral Thrawn Is Somewhere off in the Unknown Regions of the Star Wars Galaxy and Returns When He's Ready to Challenge the New Republic. Simple Enough.
