From my point of view, Yuuzhan Vongs should be Main Villain on EP.9.

I respect your point of view and acknowledge that TROS could have been better,
But nooo. Noooooo. No no no. No. Definitely not those guys. Definitely not. Especially considering that, if I recall correctly, the EU said that Palpatine was trying to defend the galaxy from the Vong in his point of view. Bunch of op villains.

are you kidding, the base idea is a bunch of force immune aliens attack, it's such an incredibly basic thing of course you can make something good out of it. The Vong were planned to show up in the Clone Wars if it had went on. They already have a canon Vong like race called the Grysk, reveal that they can't feel the force and that's it, that's your new Vongs.
"The Force is what gives a Jedi his power. It's an energy field created by all living things. It surrounds us and penetrates us; it binds the galaxy together...... except those ugly motherfuckers. They no-sell the entire mythology of this universe because they need to powercreep the Jedi."
Yeah, no. The base idea of the Vong is garbage.
And then they turned Episode 9 into the worst of the old EU. Right down to having tons of planet-destroying super weapons pulled out of nowhere, bringing the Emperor back, regurgitating the Original Trilogy to hell and back, and absurd force-power levels.
To be honest, I think this general idea behind the Vong was solid. They posed an ideological threat the Jedi. We were led to believe in the movies that the force is universal and resides in all living things. Then comes this new race that is completely disconnected from the force. The force basically does not acknowledge that they exist. So were we wrong, is the force actually not universal? Re-exploring unity with the force was a good direction to take the EU, especially considering how stagnant and repetitive it had become at the time. Not saying it or the Vong were done particularly well, but it was a sound idea in theory.
no one cares about that and I don't even like the Vong. You can make up any dumb lore nonsense to satisfy the nerds, you already have jedi who can cut themselves off the force and thus can no longer sense anything or be sensed. You can go an infinite number of routes that isn't just "oh these aliens can't be force pushed and mind tricked".
Like goddamn the bar is low here, they brought back a guy whole exploded in a nuclear reactor which then itself exploded in space and handwaved it with a meme. They're gonna make up some nonsense in the comics and that'll be it.
The vong was DBZ levels of powercreep nonsense and you know it.
good lord......
I do not like them, I mostly know about them through wookiepedia cause I just didn't care about reading the comics any more. The point.... once again..... is you can take a very basic idea and make it not shit through whatever changes are necessary. You know like not making them "dbz levels of powercreep". They were literally already planning to do this in the Clone Wars, they were gonna be called the Vong and look similar but with various changes. One of which being the nature of their force resistance, if they would've even had it all in the show, which is fine, I really don't care. They would've been distilled down to their basic core even more which is that of invading aliens from unknown regions.
