Hoping the Rakata and the Tusken Raiders connection gets covered. The lore behind the tuskens and what tatooine used to be is my favorite bit of Star Wars history.
No please I hope we don’t see tuskan raiders or the shitty desert set of tattoine for a decade. They really ruined tattoine by overusing the duck out of it
@@Foggycallabasashillshelicopter You just repeat what others say, or something? Or do you just not know about Tatooine's lore? If we get a look at Tatooine and the tusken raiders during the Rakatan Empire, I promise you it'll look nothing like a desert and you wouldn't even recognize the tusken when they stare you in the face.
@@mar_speedman yes exactly I don’t care at all about the Star Wars fan fiction or whatever. I also don’t care about tattoine at all like I said they ruined the whole planet and everyone on it by overusing the fuck out of it. How tf is it Star war’s at all when we’re only on one planet every series😂 it’s supposed to be a galaxy not just going to Reno Neveda cause it’s cheap to film
I like the idea of the Rakata being wiped out by the plague. It's like their abuse of the Dark Side caused the Force to strike back at them in order to restore balance.
Rakata, Zakuul, Yuuzhan Vong; As much as I love the history of Jedi and Sith, the 3rd party, wild card factions of Star Wars have always fascinated me the most.
Yes. I wanna see all those creeps in live action. Or how about the Ancient Sith? But Kathleen Kennedy would probably turn them all into Woke Strong Women
Love that old republic seeds continue to be planted in recent years. First Revans name is canonized and now we got the Rakata. Personally I think the era would be perfect for a game of thrones grand scale epic drama series
They made Rogue One because of one line from the Crawl in a New Hope. They made Kenobi because of one line on the Death Star. They can make the Old republic/jedi origin story with one line from Andor.

The Rakata are such an amazing and mysterious race. Playing through parts of SWTOR that have their secret tombs, robots and traps are is amazing fun and then discovering lore for them is an amazing read as well. Their one of the most exciting races to explore.
@@segundorespaldo7892 what we mean by that is so many species that would have remained isolated were thrown into a melting plot, making for a world of so much variety
11:00, In Kotor 1, Jolee theorized that the Wookiees were also evolved alongside Kashyyk to serve as gardeners or slaves that were best suited to work on such a lush world.
If Disney wants to avoid the Skywalker Saga they should definitely make a show about the Rakatans. Like how cool would I be to see the Rakatans in Live action?
Why so they can hire horrible writers and ruin it. I don’t want them touching kotor they’ll just ruin it man literally just hire people who don’t do the research and don’t care and will write bad fan fiction, let theory write a kotor series least then it will be good.
those Rakata ships look awesome. Thanks for this history, every since Kotor and Swtor I was interested about about them but never really checked. I never realized the early jedi were such a force to be reckoned with
I literally freaked out when I heard about the Rakata in Andor, I really hope we will get more information and content about the time before the Galactic Republic was founded. I mean we know so little about this time and there’s endless opportunities for shows and maybe movies!
The hyperspace ramming scene from The Last Jedi would have been *vastly improved* in a lore-saving way had Leia used The Force to manipulate the Hyperdrive and sacrificed herself. Hell, have her converse with a Rakata among the crew if you want to set groundwork earlier in the movie.
I'd honestly love to see both the Rakata and the Yuusong Vong in live-action or animated Star Wars productions, but Disney has shown itself inept to the degree that I wouldn't trust them to do more than name drop either species.
If it weren't for disney, star wars would have faded into obscurity. Like, I prefer george's stuff but a lot of fans didn't even know about the clone wars during it's original run. They thought it was a "kids" show.
Even in KOTOR the Rakata seemed to be super ancient and an almost completely lost civilization, which seemed to predate any of the ancient Sith in the game. I don't know much lore about them past KOTOR but was actually surprised that they are actually known, even just in name, to anyone in Andor. OMG . . . I hope one of the next big threats is a resurgence of the Rakata! Maybe like a Yuuzhan Vong lite, or a pre Yuuzhan Vong, scenario. I remember being so excited when first seeing the unique Rakata and Selkath species on the KOTOR box. Super cool to see more ties to those games.
Before i saw your videos about these legends species i didn’t know much, it would be certainly interesting to have a multiple season series about them, like their beginning at first, then their conquest of the galaxy, then the beginning of the jedi order and their fall at the end
I haven’t finished the video but based on what I’ve seen this idea seems to dark for Disney to use, it’s just not in their realm, and although it would be great to use… *they introduced Rey and kept her as a protagonist for 3 films* I don’t think they’d do this idea justice
Did you watch Obi wan? They literally showed Vader snapping a little kids neck with the force. And they also are greenlighting a bunch of gory stuff for the MCU, ex. Werewolf by Night and Deadpool 3
@@GaseousSnake2 true, but we’ll see how they do after andor, I don’t trust them but I hope they do more gritty stuff like what they did with obi wan and andor.
Hello there!!! Hey Theory. So a while ago I went on your NerdTheory podcast and tried to get you to watch/react to my fan film and you essentially told me you’d “rather do something else” which really disappointed me because you’ve truly made me into the Star Wars super-fan that I am today. Like Star War has become a huge part of my life so much so that I even made my very own fan-film. And although it’s not great and I want to reshoot someday I thought you’d at least appreciate the effort. Like cmon man you can’t take 5 mins to watch a film about Count Dooku/Darth Tyranus, a character of whom you clearly think is both really cool & criminally underrated. Like bruh I literally said “dedicated to StarWarsTheory” in the beginning of the video & you still wont take 5 mins to watch it. Idk man, I may sound like a jerk now but I really thought you cared a bit more. Like bruh, this is (at least to my knowledge) the ONLY actual Count Dooku fan film in existence. Again, it’s not some amazing professional looking film but like it’s 5 mins & it’s something I worked really hard on. Ok whatever just needed to get this out. May the force be with you ig.
the pure newness of the star wars world was the essence of its greatness. nothing since has been so original, and sci-fi depends upon presenting new kinds of life, not just funny-looking aliens, but entirely new and unusual settings. concentrating on the first Je'dai and Rakata would be a great choice. Or imagine how cool it would be to feature the Rakatan invasion of Korriban. Has there ever been a movie featuring evil vs. evil? I guess Alien v. Predator - and that was cool!
I find the "strange pathogen" wiping out the majority of them to be too convenient and unsatisfying of an "end" for such a cool and dominant empire/species, I wish there was more to it like maybe the Sith or some other species or organization engineering it or maybe the pathogen being a pushback from the force itself against them
Bringing in the Rakata all but guarantees, at least in my opinion, the arrival of Revan, Malak, and the Star Forge. I would not be surprised if in a few years that show takes place.
I've started learning about the YV and now there's another force to look into? Jeez, may as well mesh them both against each other with the Republic shaking in their boots in the crossfire.
Got some serious Carl Sagan/Cosmos/Vangelis vibes from this one - well done. I only got a bit of info on the Rakata playing the Old Republic MMO, but this background helped immensely.
I would deffinitly like to see more with these guys as well!! There is so much to learn yet and a lot of time if you think about it. so there for it could be done lol
With as violent this species was toward each other it’s a wonder they were able to have so much power when they were killing each other. Real interesting!
In Kotor, there is a faction trying to fix their connection to the force and be better, help prevent this disaster from happening again. I wonder what they gave become. This could be cool in a show.
Thankyou for sharing this SWT its a part of StarWars i knew nothing about,i would be very interested if Disney decided to explore these stories and their connection to the Tuskens,May The Force Be With You.....Always!!!!
Every time I play through Kotor (still the best game of all time) I always go out of my way to get the Rakata and the Tuskin’s to tell me about their history. Its probably my favorite historical lore out of Star Wars.
man, if they're going to make a series about this, it's better be sci-fi opera epic with high budget and quality stories, starting with the kwa's journeys to the rise of rakatan empire and their highest peak and their horrible actions (such as tatooine turned sands), Tython arc, war with the Sith, invasion of Tython, rakata's decline (civil war, corruption, plague), slave rebelion/uprising and formation of galactic republic. that would be interesting and awesome to see.
If they want to pull it off they’d be smart to make it rated R the beginning will start off with a brief depiction of the rakatans origins basically the Qua teaching them the force and small scenes of their conquests If I had a hand in filming I would make the Dark Side or the use of the Dark Side very terrifying enough to make a casual fan look away the abilities such as creating or mutating beings through the force the alchemy all of those things should be displayed then we fast forward to a mixed perspective of the jedai & the force hounds
7:00 Ten billion Rakata warriors? That's the population of the Earth in 2050. Quite little for an interstellar species. But 3 million clone troopers isn't enough to invade a continent, let alone fight on tens of planets, especially considering the number of droids which the CIS had.
Star wars is finally learning from the past which is the best for the future. Keep referring to legends and our interest will peak leading to a true old republic adaptations
Disney seems to be smart enough to know there are things in legends they need to introduce. Thrawn is the prime example, but we'll probably see anything "new" in novels and comics
"The Trandoshans," he says, as the camera focuses on Greedo--a Rodian. Though we are then shown some actual Trandoshans, I'm not sure what Greedo had to do with them or with the Wookies. Perhaps he got his bounty hunters mixed up and meant to show Bossk?
I'm a fan of both the Rakata and the Yuzhan Vong though I am warry of how any movie or series involving either by Disney. But they finally admitted that the KOTOR games are canon... And if they are to bring the Vong then they'd have to retcon the Disney trilogy into oblivion (No problem there).
This was a very good video. Thanks for putting it out! I really do think that Lucasfilm will sometime soon make a Rakatan centered project because 1 they just name dropped them in Andor and 2 they went on about Tatooines past and it’s once water filled world in the BoBf. Hope they do it. It’d be great!
I liked the story of the Rakatan Infinite Empire, recently read the Dawn of The Jedi comics a few months back. I honestly never knew that tatooine used to be a earth like planet. With lakes, forests, and such. Palpatine: The Republic will be reorganized into the first, Galactic Empire!! Rakatan Empire: Am I a joke to you? Love your videos SWT. Love getting into the lore of everything star wars.

The shortest summary of their history is they were so ugly they had to torment everyone. Just kidding. Byt they're ugly.
The Rakatan Empire was mentioned in the High Republic book series several times as well as Manaan and Kolto

Thank you for this video. I was introduced to the Rakatans from KOTOR and been curious ever since. So glad Andor made them canon.

Well. Expecting any good results from them is like expecting the Rakata to be nice people.
It would be cool if they were to sound the same way they did in kotor with subtitles.
Rakatans are cool and all, but I'd rather see a show about ancient Sith, Dark Jedi, The Hundred-Year Darkness, Proto Lightsabers etc.
Why so they can hire horrible writers and ruin it. I don’t want them touching kotor they’ll just ruin it man literally just hire people who don’t do the research and don’t care and will write bad fan fiction, let theory write a kotor series least then it will be good.
I always thought it was crazy the Rakata would eat the people they conquered and would even eat their own kind. The infinite empire was evil x2.
Agreed in the dawn of the Jedi, it even mentions they eat their own young
those Rakata ships look awesome. Thanks for this history, every since Kotor and Swtor I was interested about about them but never really checked. I never realized the early jedi were such a force to be reckoned with
Loved the Rakata ever since I played KotOR the first time. Game introduced so much amazing lore.
Having only come across the Rakata in SWTOR this was a very interesting backstory. Thank You.

And if they are to bring the Vong then they'd have to retcon the Disney trilogy into oblivion (No problem there).
This was a very good video. Thanks for putting it out! I really do think that Lucasfilm will sometime soon make a Rakatan centered project because 1 they just name dropped them in Andor and 2 they went on about Tatooines past and it’s once water filled world in the BoBf. Hope they do it. It’d be great!
A Clone Wars style series would be perfect.
Imagine a live action series by Dave Filoni based the infinate empire.
It'd be the best star wars show, better than the clone wars.
I liked the story of the Rakatan Infinite Empire, recently read the Dawn of The Jedi comics a few months back. I honestly never knew that tatooine used to be a earth like planet. With lakes, forests, and such.
Palpatine: The Republic will be reorganized into the first, Galactic Empire!!
Rakatan Empire: Am I a joke to you?
Love your videos SWT. Love getting into the lore of everything star wars.
Also Palpatine: Once more the Sith will rule the galaxy
Disney slowly realizing "legends" is better than the crap they've been pumping out.
