As a Yuuzhan Vong grew more successful in their life, they began the process of sacrificing body parts and replacing them with organs from another creature, thus enhancing their abilities. This was done so during the Escalatier Ceremony, where an engineered organism related to an Implanter began to make cuts and incisions, and place the implants. At times, the implant was accepted into the body and the Yuuzhan Vong was promoted to a higher rank. [19] However, there were occasions where the implant failed to be accepted into the body. This resulted either in death or the individual becoming a derided Shamed One. Such failures were believed to have been the work of the Yuuzhan Vong gods, though there were times that such a happenstance was due to the failure of the Shaper in charge of the Escalation ceremony. [5] A few millennia later, the godfather of the bong renaissance, Bob Snodgrass, popularized the use of bongs during the 70s while following a Grateful Dead tour (and we sure are grateful). Since then, technology has gotten us to a level of bong creation that screams science fiction.

With much of their galaxy ruined, the Yuuzhan Vong began a long trek to another galaxy in search of a new home. For a long period, perhaps centuries, the species was forced to travel through the Intergalactic Void in massive worldships. During this period, the Yuuzhan Vong nearly destroyed themselves. Violence and competition had been inevitably built into their society and, without an external target, they focused their aggression against each other. Though there were no all out wars in the magnitude of the Cremlevian War, the Domains continued to fight each other for the favor of the Supreme Overlords.

Star Wars Bong Features

With its sleek, glossy finish and the iconic Stormtrooper helmet design, this bong is a must-have for any Star Wars enthusiast. Not only is it visually stunning, but it's also ergonomically designed for comfort and ease of use. The smooth contours of the ceramic material ensure a firm grip, and the fixed stem perc provides consistent filtration and diffusion for your smoking pleasure. Bongo technology inspired Gungan engineers in Lamaredd to create the gondola skimmersub, based on bongo designs. As locab plasma, a component of the bongo, was scarce in Lamaredd, the gondola used an alternate technology. [5]

Shortly after, the Sith, determined to rule the galaxy themselves, turned against Emperor Roan Fel and his Imperial Knights. After killing what he later determined to have been a double of the Emperor, Darth Krayt assumed the Imperial throne himself, restoring, for the first time in over a century, the rule of a Sith Lord over most of the galaxy. [44] George Lucas and his team actually got into a bit of trouble over the creative design of R2-D2. Apparently, Lucas was inspired by a movie from 1972 called “ Silent Running.” The droids in that film bear an uncanny resemblance to R2-D2. And the film creators got sued, but the legal action was eventually dropped. Geeking out to the Star Wars theme for some of your bongs can be fun too. If you are a medical cardholder and legally permitted to smoke (and you don’t have kids in the house), you may want to display your collection. Like the Rebel Alliance pilot himself, Skywalker OG will fly you across the galaxies with soaring euphoria. Perhaps the relaxing effects of this hybrid will provide you with all the patience you need to become a Jedi master, but don’t underestimate its power- overdo this one and you’ll find yourself too comfy to save the world from intergalactic tyranny. 6. Yoda OGThe bongo's propulsion system was based on long tentacles at the aft of the vehicle. These tentacles pushed the bongo forward. The vessel was also equipped with repulsorlifts to push it through specially designed bays in Gungan cities. The bongo had a unique buoyancy system; when the vessel went underwater, special chambers release oil, which increased the vehicle's density. To surface, the oil was absorbed. The New Republic, having moved its capital to Dac, elected Cal Omas to replace Fey'lya, who also created the High Council, which would coordinate the Jedi's role in the war. At the same time the Jedi also found out about the NRI's secret project to create Alpha Red, a biological weapon that would wipe out the Yuuzhan Vong and all of their creations. The Jedi were unable to convince Cal Omas to ignore the weapon as a viable option for countering the invaders, but the rogue Jedi Knight Vergere saved them the trouble by destroying the project herself. However, the incident strained the relationship between the Jedi and the New Republic. Little was known about their early history, but the Yuuzhan Vong had apparently once lived as symbiotes with their homeworld and were Force-sensitive. Their technology was also largely organic. At some point in their history, the Yuuzhan Vong were caught in the midst of a devastating galactic conflict between two droid civilizations—believed to be the Silentium and the Abominor—which solidified their hatred of mechanical technology and xenophobia towards other sentient lifeforms. [30] R2D2 has always been a handy dude to have around, and he’s even more welcome when he comes in the shape of a dab rig. We love this one from Empire Glassworks. For all the evil the enemy do, they aren't dark, exactly—the enemy are entirely outside the Force." ―Jacen Solo [5]

This Chameleon Glass steamroller in the shape of a lightsaber pays tribute to our hero, Luke Skywalker, since smoking out of a robotic hand might get a little weird.

4. Darth Vader OG

Meanwhile, Executor Nom Anor, disgraced for his role in the disaster at Ebaq 9, disguised himself as the prophet Yu'Shaa and began stirring up heresy on Yuuzhan'tar (formerly Coruscant). He heard about Zonama Sekot and succeeded in putting together a mission to the living planet consisting of himself (still in disguise), the Shaper Nen Yim, the Yuuzhan Vong priest Harrar and the two Jedi Knights Tahiri Veila and Corran Horn. The five made it to Zonama Sekot where Nom Anor showed his hand and killed Nem Yim and pushed Harrar over a cliff before trying to sabotage the planet's hyperdrive. The two Jedi were unsuccessful in undoing his sabotage or preventing him from escaping the planet, but Zonama Sekot appeared to know what to do as it launched itself into hyperspace and traveled to Yuuzhan'tar, taking up orbit around the same star as the former capital of the galaxy. From the start, the Alliance was handicapped. Its defense of the Yuuzhan Vong had alienated numerous member worlds, whose populations still nursed bitter memories of the Vong invasion, and many of them refused to support the GA. Suddenly, the Alliance found itself facing a secessionist movement as well as general war. The Empire used this to its advantage, luring some of these disaffected worlds into the Imperial camp and weakening the GA government. Other worlds, like Hapes, declared neutrality. Thus, the war started with the Empire having all the advantages. Despite this, Emperor Roan Fel himself was less than enthusiastic; he had only reluctantly declared war and thus never threw his full support behind it, even going so far to prevent his Imperial Knights from participating. [46] Nen Yim, a Shaper. She traveled to the living world Zonama Sekot with Jedi Master Corran Horn, along with Tahiri Veila, Nom Anor under the guise of the Prophet Yu'shaa and the Yuuzhan Vong priest Harrar, where she learned that the peaceful living world Zonama Sekot is a seed of the original Yuuzhan'tar and that her species have gone terribly astray. She was killed by Nom Anor.
