The Vong actively torpedoed the existing tone and feel of the Star Wars universe. They made it feel like some kind of weird Ghosts of Mars crossover. They were also given wayyyy too much credit and too many accomplishments compared to how lame they were. "Let's make the edgiest, ugliest, most deranged, most disgusting race we can come up with. Let's also make them immune to the force for no good reason. And also let's have them be so powerful and so capable that they ~~obliterate a huge percentage of the known galaxy practically unopposed~~."
