You hear how screwed up the Rakata were throughout KoTOR 1, but to me, the most significant example is the mind prison. Imagine being a political rival to the wrong Rakata and failing in your power bid. Maybe you advocate for abolition of slavery. Are you exiled, jailed or executed? No, no your mind is trapped inside a box to degrade over millennia.
@@johnprager662 He was, but we learn that those prison boxes weren't unique and others were trapped like him. Anyone in the Rakatan empire with sufficient power could imprison there political rivals that way.
It's literally the worst torture imagineable. Yeah, it takes way longer, and you dont feel physical pain... but you'll feel so much psychological pain after just 10 years that you'll *wish* for physical pain. Now add in thousands of years...
40k DOES already use torture to power space travel. I dont think the psykers in the Golden Throne are undergoing spa level treatment and looking at the numbers makes even the Aztecs blush.
@@Hello-bi1pm but what if both star wars and Warhammer 40k take place in the same universe but on different galaxies and the star wars galaxy is just a better galaxy because of the existence of the force or some other reason. That would explain why the closest you go to the edge of the star wars galaxy the more Warhammer 40k things become
Here's a theory on why there was a plague that stripped the Rakata of the Force: It was a response by the Midichlorians, who had enough of the Rakata abusing the Force for their twisted ends. It's like how the Midichlorians responded to Darth Plaguesis and Sidious's plan on creating a being that is strong in the force by creating the Chosen One aka. Anakin Skywalker.
It’s actually extremely fkn obvious and the fact you’re even bringing it up is like pointing out that Anakin is Vader in episode 2 and expecting people to applaud you

The absolute best thing about the Rakata? They managed to, somehow, enforce am empire wide ban on animals/people capitalizing on forward facing eyes. Once the rebellion began, it was due to having forward facing eyes that won the war for the humans/human adjacent races. Depth perception is a powerful thing when using proto-lightsabers.
I personally interpret the Rakata losing their force sensitivity to be the force itself retaliating again them. We know that the dark side is cancerous, so with how overwhelming the Rakata were with using it to dominate the galaxy they became actively harmful to the force itself and when it become too much it took drastic action and amputated the diseased part of itself. I don’t think it was done with any hatred or spite from the force but done in order to survive.
The Rakatans seem to be the strongest argument *for* the Prime Directive ever. Don't give away advanced tech to primitive species, especially ones that are warmongering, enslaving a$$holes. I'd love to see you analyse the villains from a different sci fi series -- the Yeerks from Animorphs.

That is very likely knowing the Rakata mindset, but I would also like to imagine that it was created either by a member or group from a species tortured and enslaved by the Rakata or by a superior power that saw the Rakata as a parasite in the universe that had to go.
@@qui-gonzaluke8024I think it was made by humans. If you all recall, and I know I remember right because I’m nearing the end of another playthrough of KOTOR on PC, the ancient droid on Dantooine expresses some confusion about you, a human, being neither slave nor “Builder” species. It may be that humanity had seen this threat, created an anti-Rakata virus bomb thing, but due to other aliens’ proximity to the Rakata they also caught some of the effects of this virus. It may explain why Star Wars seems to have significantly more humans than any other aliens. It would be more “balanced” had the slave races of the Rakata, most of the aliens we see in Star Wars, not been affected by the virus, but here we are.
KoToR had such incredible worldbuilding, and KoToR 2 had such incredible introspective and ideological building. Writing back then with rpgs was on another level as TES Morrowind came out around that time and also was incredible in those regards. Only game I've played recently that was on that level in building a world, showing morality and mortality was based on one of the greatest ancient novels written; Journey to the West. So it is staggering how back in the early 2000s writers could just bang out such incredible pretty novel fantasy, for was was regarded back then as mere games.

Great video! Something I would suggest for a next video from Star Wars, are The Dread Masters. Great content for the evil series and a not popular thing among fans
I think the only reason why the Rakata ruled for so long was that the force had nothing to balance the Rakata with. The force was still very new to sentient species, so the force had no choice but intervene directly. The force gets involved only after long stints of the status quo, where there are no likely changes to the Galaxy.
This is probably the most scary situation in science fiction I've heard of, a species who are unlimited evil conquering literally everything? That is still around and come back?
Almost every culture throughout the Warhammer 40k universe is much worse than this, even humanity. That being said it’s the entire point of the 40k setting whereas the fact that this specifically exists in Star Wars, a series that was originally made for children is whats jarring and creepy.

It’s great seeing new Star Wars videos, especially on lesser known dynasties and beings in that universe, great video! Also, if there is anything the Mnggal-Mnggal video made me think of, it’s a possible video perhaps on The Flood from the Halo franchise maybe? Also also, on the topic of evil galactic empires, maybe a video also on The Viltrumite Empire from Invincible?
@andrewemerson6077 i would like one of the covenant and then maybe a solo one for the prophet of truth since it might be too long of a video to go into detail.
I would loved to see you cover videos of Star Wars villains that aren't Sith. Here are a few examples: 1. Analysing Evil: Grand Admiral Thrawn 2. Analysing Evil: Grand Moff Tarkin 3. Analysing Evil: Director Krennic
Amazing work as always! And wow. It truly says something that they're the most evil Empire in history when there was an Empire later that was run by the vilest villain in cinema history!
One small correction. The "mother" character preceded the age of Darth bane. It appears in the sith inquisitors storyline in swtor, which was a few thousand years before bane.
There have only been two species in Star Wars which have been stripped of the Force. The Rakata and the Yuuzhan Vong. What torments must have they inflicted to be punished in such a matter?

As a Rakata apologist, the Rakata glassing Tatooine has been completely misinterpreted by historians. It was an attempt to expand beachfront property on the ocean world. However, natives interfered with the process and caused the planet’s desertification.

I didn’t mention this under the Mnngal Mnngal video but you making this extended Star Wars series covering the legends content is actually really comforting. I never got the opportunity to buy some of these books from book fairs and book stores as a kid since my family was in poverty for about as long as I was deeply into Star Wars at that point. While my interest in current year SW is passing glances at best, the info in these videos are so awesome to hear about for the first time and it feels very nostalgic with some of the visuals present as well. Thanks for continuing to make great content along this very special project to me.
@@zeebooboo9663Traya is kinda right maybe the star wars verse would be better off without the force but Traya could have simply just cut herself off from the force. her whole ideology makes sense but the force itself is a good thing. its people who use the force for evil is what causes problems
@@Talesofaweedsmoker Traya's problem with the Force isn't that evil people use it. It's that the Forces uses people. It has a will of its own, and she despises the thought of a divine puppet master.

Hey guys, while there are so many Sith Lords in the Sith Empire that would have been a perfect candidate for an Analysing Evil video, I was wondering if there are any Non Force-sensitive associates that could be covered as well, particularly Imperial Officers, Bounty Hunters or Heads of Crime Syndicates.
The Rakata as a race seems to have no redeeming qualities. It seems that every single Rakatan was cruel and violent. The Rakata resemble a dark entity that’s written as a species instead of an individual character. The Rakata are one of the worst races I’ve come across in Science Fiction and Science Fantasy. The Dark Eldar (Drukhari) from 40K maybe worse. Where the Rakata scaled to the size of the Galactic Empire or the Republic, the species would have eventually spread their evil to other galaxies. I can imagine the Rakata breaking, enslaving and corrupting millions of species, until eventually collapsing in on themselves. Excellent villain analysis: Villain Profile Suggestions: 1. Frank Underwood/Francis Urquart (House of Cards) 2. 001 (Squid Game) 3. Petyr Baelish (A Song of Ice and Fire) 4. Frank Gallagher (Shameless US 5. Marty and Wendy Byrde (Ozark) 6. Dudley Smith (L.A Confidential) 7. Lilith (Diablo 4) 8. Idi Amin (Last King of Scotland) 9. Kratos (God of War series) 10. Eric Cartman (South Park) 11. Father (Full Metal Alchemist) 12. The Sons of Anarchy Gang 13. The Gravemind/Primordial (Halo)
i mean its basically like you gave a predator animal super powers. they dont really care about morality when they see everyone else including other rakata as food.
I would love to have seen the ancient Rakata face the more modern day Vong. Both merciless but one is strong in the force and relied heavily on technology while the other is devoid of the force and hates technology.
Honestly he should just do one for the entire story. OG Kratos could definitley be considered evil and none of the Greek gods except (maybe) Athena could really be called good guys. Edit: actually no Athena sucks too come to think of it lol only Hephaestus was sympathetic.
@@Abefroman2024lol bro, Kratos by the end of the first game was 100% evil, not even “considered” because by GOW 3 he was an apocalyptic monster who destroyed the world, (the Greek side anyway), the Greek gods weren’t all that good morally as they acted like high almighty conceited assholes but they were trying to keep the world stable and in order of balance so things don’t fall into chaos for the everyone so they were mainly neutral, and morally grey from their personalities overall and doing their jobs to keep things in check so there’s that. Zeus was a prick but he’s ALWAYS a prick in every incarnation he’s in. They weren’t really good guys but they were trying to stabilized everything intill Kratos side f the world, and killed basically everyone in Greece.
@Gadget-Walkmen tbf I can't take the pantheons side against Kratos. Kratos absolutley was a rageaholic murder machine with no regard for any life that stood in his way but the greek gods KNEW that and kept poking the bear. Not to mention they started all of it by kidnapping his brother deimos and all they had to do to avoid this outcome was give him peace by taking his nightmares away (Which while they didn't TECHNICALLY say they would, I would argue it was HEAVILY implied) and instead they gave this guy the power and responsibilities of a god of war, which Kratos never asked for.

Also, if there is anything the Mnggal-Mnggal video made me think of, it’s a possible video perhaps on The Flood from the Halo franchise maybe? Also also, on the topic of evil galactic empires, maybe a video also on The Viltrumite Empire from Invincible?
Yes the flood would be a good video!
@@richardvasquez6746 Would the Prophet of Truth also be a good candidate? Or would the entire Covenant Empire be qualified for a coverage?
@andrewemerson6077 i would like one of the covenant and then maybe a solo one for the prophet of truth since it might be too long of a video to go into detail.
MNGGAL-MNGGAL MENTIONED💪💪💪💪🔥🔥🔥🔥
My God... These are the villains we need in new SW movies. Movies about the past about the truly evil monsters.
Analyzing Evil: Eric Cartman from South Park
Finally, a true monster.
Video would be 20 hours long lmak
I would loved to see you cover videos of Star Wars villains that aren't Sith. Here are a few examples:
1. Analysing Evil: Grand Admiral Thrawn
2. Analysing Evil: Grand Moff Tarkin
3. Analysing Evil: Director Krennic
How about Ysanne Isard or Zsinj,
Cad Bane, Savage Oppress, Asajj Ventress, Mother Talzin, Jabba the Hutt
disney
Thrawn is not evil
@ He certainly is. He was more than happy to keep the Nohgri under the Empire’s thumb and murdered plenty of innocents
You've got to admit "Infinite Empire" goes hard!
Amazing work as always! And wow. It truly says something that they're the most evil Empire in history when there was an Empire later that was run by the vilest villain in cinema history!
Never thought I’d see Star Wars villains like the mnaggl mnaggl and the rakata getting analyzed like this. Thank you so much! Love your work!
One small correction. The "mother" character preceded the age of Darth bane. It appears in the sith inquisitors storyline in swtor, which was a few thousand years before bane.
There have only been two species in Star Wars which have been stripped of the Force. The Rakata and the Yuuzhan Vong. What torments must have they inflicted to be punished in such a matter?
With the vong we atleast know that it came from destroying yuzzanhtar. Which they connected to the force through it in a symbiotic relationship.
There is another instance of a species being severed from the Force, the Yuuzhan Vong.
Just some suggestions:
Dracula from Castlevania (Video Game and Netflix versions as separate videos as they’re fairly different from each other)
Kratos from the God of War franchise
Scarecrow from the Arkham series
The Silver Shamrock company from Halloween III
Chucky from the Child’s Play franchise
Characters and Themes of Serial Experiments Lain
And some Mortal Kombat villains (Mainly just Shao Kahn, Shang Tsung, Onaga, Bi-Han & The Lin Kuei)
Thanks and keep up the great work!
Yes to all of them
The greek gods from god of war
I'm very much looking forward to Prince Xizor of Black Sun and the Imperial Warlords of the Post Endor period of Legends.
Analyzing Evil: My manager who told me to work, when im on break
Never expected him to do old Republic stuff that's awesome
Villains for October:
Art the Clown from Terrifier
Beetlejuice from Beetlejuice 1 & 2
Sam and the characters and themes from Trick 'r Treat
Pumpkinhead from Pumpkinhead
Constance Nebbercracker from Monster House
Gozer from Ghostbusters
This is so exciting was waiting for the Rakata video! Amazing job man the infinite empire is one of my favorite things in the Star Wars lore! ❤
I don't comment much on videos . Luther from the Warriors (1979) "come out to play!, Clarence boddicker from Robocop (1987)" bitches leave!" and The joker/Jack napier from batman (1989)" ever danced with the devil in the pale moon light?" would be great to see . Keep up the great vids mate 👍
Analysing Evil (SW Legends - Old Republic Era):
-Naga Sadow
-Yaru Korsin
-Exar Kun
-Lucien Dray
-Darth Scabrous
Rakata? Now that's a name I've not heard for a long time.. A long time.
As a Star Wars Legends lore buff I’m so happy you’ll try covering a lot of the evil beings and groups from ten to tens of thousands of years before and after the time of Luke Skywalker ( despite legends going only to around 136 ABY at most )
Bondrewd from made in abyss
Should save it for a fathers day special
You know the rekata are basically the just Star Wars Viltrumite
Classic writer move
1) make broken empire and race
2) omg plage came out of nowhere and it targets only the op empire guys! 😅
3) repeat in every single cosmic book
Hello again with my friendly suggestions lol:
Doyle Hargraves from Sling Blade
Agatha Trunchbull from Matilda
Shao Kahn from Mortal Kombat
The Covenant from Halo
Percy Whitmore and/or Wild Bill from The Green Mile
As a Rakata apologist, the Rakata glassing Tatooine has been completely misinterpreted by historians. It was an attempt to expand beachfront property on the ocean world. However, natives interfered with the process and caused the planet’s desertification.
Analyzing Evil: Mahito from Jujutsu Kaisen
Analyzing Evil: Dr. Zaius from the original Planet of the Apes
Analyzing Evil: Yoshikage Kira from Jojos Bizarre Adventure Diamond is Unbreakable
Analyzing Evil: Ju-On
Analyzing Evil: Rose the Hat from Doctor Sleep
Maybe the cannibalism is the reason why some may suddenly lost their connection with The Force ?
I didn’t mention this under the Mnngal Mnngal video but you making this extended Star Wars series covering the legends content is actually really comforting. I never got the opportunity to buy some of these books from book fairs and book stores as a kid since my family was in poverty for about as long as I was deeply into Star Wars at that point. While my interest in current year SW is passing glances at best, the info in these videos are so awesome to hear about for the first time and it feels very nostalgic with some of the visuals present as well. Thanks for continuing to make great content along this very special project to me.
Analyzing Evil: Memento (Both Leonard Shelby, Natalie, And John edward "Teddy" Gammal)
I have never been so hyped to watch an Analyzing Evil video.
Fupkin love old republic lore.
Analyzing Evil: James Moriarty from Sherlock Holmes
That’d be an interesting one
EXCELLENT WORK. THE VILE EYE 👁🗨 THE MOST EVIL 😈 IN THE INFINITE EMPIRE STAR 🌟 WARS THE RAKATA 😈😈😈😈☠️😈😈😈😈☠️😈😈😈😈😈☠️😈😈😈😈☠️
I absolutely love this series. Can't wait til you eventually get to Revan and Valkorian
This came out the day after I started my 28371931837th playthrough of kotor. Nice timing lol
I had a lot of fun learning about the ancient Rakata civilization while exploring KOTOR.
Looking forward to Darth Traya. One of my favorite villains.
Honestly she did nothing wrong imo the force deserves to be destroyed
@@zeebooboo9663Traya is kinda right maybe the star wars verse would be better off without the force but Traya could have simply just cut herself off from the force. her whole ideology makes sense but the force itself is a good thing. its people who use the force for evil is what causes problems
@@Talesofaweedsmoker Traya's problem with the Force isn't that evil people use it. It's that the Forces uses people. It has a will of its own, and she despises the thought of a divine puppet master.
@@DFAnton The force has no master that's the issue with Traya's philosophy the force has existed since the beginning and always will. there is no master the force is apart of all things. even beings who a cannot manipulate the living force still are apart of it.
YES more star wars! though i appreciate ALL the multiple uploads recently. we got the rakata, bateman, and two-face in like one week. its like early christmas!
God, I hope you get to Tenebrae/Vitiate/Valkorion.
Another excellent video Vile Eye. Thank you.
Woo! More star wars!!
I'm very excited to see lots of different Star wars characters from legends covered here
For October, analyze
Michael Myers (Halloween) remastered
Chucky (Child's Play)
The Sanderson Sisters (Hocus Pocus)
Oogie Boogie Man ( The Nightmare before Christmas)
Kalabar (Halloweentown)

I always thought they were like humans, so I’m glad humans don’t know space travel on a high level
Old Canon > Disney Canon
Star wars lore. Good God, I never knew how dire it was.
Hey guys, while there are so many Sith Lords in the Sith Empire that would have been a perfect candidate for an Analysing Evil video, I was wondering if there are any Non Force-sensitive associates that could be covered as well, particularly Imperial Officers, Bounty Hunters or Heads of Crime Syndicates.
Dude I love your Star Wars episodes!
The Rakata as a race seems to have no redeeming qualities. It seems that every single Rakatan was cruel and violent. The Rakata resemble a dark entity that’s written as a species instead of an individual character. The Rakata are one of the worst races I’ve come across in Science Fiction and Science Fantasy. The Dark Eldar (Drukhari) from 40K maybe worse. Where the Rakata scaled to the size of the Galactic Empire or the Republic, the species would have eventually spread their evil to other galaxies. I can imagine the Rakata breaking, enslaving and corrupting millions of species, until eventually collapsing in on themselves.
Excellent villain analysis: Villain Profile Suggestions:
1. Frank Underwood/Francis Urquart (House of Cards)
2. 001 (Squid Game)
3. Petyr Baelish (A Song of Ice and Fire)
4. Frank Gallagher (Shameless US
5. Marty and Wendy Byrde (Ozark)
6. Dudley Smith (L.A Confidential)
7. Lilith (Diablo 4)
8. Idi Amin (Last King of Scotland)
9. Kratos (God of War series)
10. Eric Cartman (South Park)
11. Father (Full Metal Alchemist)
12. The Sons of Anarchy Gang
13. The Gravemind/Primordial (Halo)
Yes to all of them
i mean its basically like you gave a predator animal super powers. they dont really care about morality when they see everyone else including other rakata as food.
@@cal2127I wonder what Rakata reproduction and maturation is like? Probably brutal, with high female and infant mortality?
I would love to have seen the ancient Rakata face the more modern day Vong. Both merciless but one is strong in the force and relied heavily on technology while the other is devoid of the force and hates technology.
That'd be a cool what if
Analyzing Evil:
The reapers from Mass Effect
Akira Nishikiyama from Yakuza
Al Mualim from Assassin’s Creed
Khotun Khan from Ghost of Tsushima
YES !
As if you're doing the infinite empire.
Amazing. I love this channel.
Analysing Evil Zeus From GoW
Honestly he should just do one for the entire story. OG Kratos could definitley be considered evil and none of the Greek gods except (maybe) Athena could really be called good guys.
Edit: actually no Athena sucks too come to think of it lol only Hephaestus was sympathetic.
@@Abefroman2024good point
@@Abefroman2024 eh haephestus wasn’t bad either. He did try to help kratos, but so did athena.
@@Abefroman2024lol bro, Kratos by the end of the first game was 100% evil, not even “considered” because by GOW 3 he was an apocalyptic monster who destroyed the world, (the Greek side anyway), the Greek gods weren’t all that good morally as they acted like high almighty conceited assholes but they were trying to keep the world stable and in order of balance so things don’t fall into chaos for the everyone so they were mainly neutral, and morally grey from their personalities overall and doing their jobs to keep things in check so there’s that. Zeus was a prick but he’s ALWAYS a prick in every incarnation he’s in.
They weren’t really good guys but they were trying to stabilized everything intill Kratos side f the world, and killed basically everyone in Greece.
@Gadget-Walkmen tbf I can't take the pantheons side against Kratos.
Kratos absolutley was a rageaholic murder machine with no regard for any life that stood in his way but the greek gods KNEW that and kept poking the bear. Not to mention they started all of it by kidnapping his brother deimos and all they had to do to avoid this outcome was give him peace by taking his nightmares away (Which while they didn't TECHNICALLY say they would, I would argue it was HEAVILY implied) and instead they gave this guy the power and responsibilities of a god of war, which Kratos never asked for.
Oh my god the KOTOR background music nearly brought me to tears. so so good
The legends Vader episode is gonna go so hard
man i did not expect the rakata here. Thats a deep lore pick
Analyzing Evil: College Board
That's too morbid, actually. The Lich would be more digestible.
Analyzing evil: Dr Eggman from the live action Sonic Movies
I would love to see an analysis evil on Maegor the Cruel from a song of ice and fire I think he would be perfect.
Thank you for all the content these past weeks.
Analyzing Evil: That fucking bird that I hate
Oh yes, I love these!!!!!!
Can hardly wait until we get to: King Adas, Ajunta Pall, Sorzus Syn, Dathka Graush, Marka Ragnos, Tenebrae, Darth Atroxa, Darth Revan, Darth Traya, Darth Nihilus, Darth Sion, Darth Malgus, Darth Bane & Darth Zannah!!!!!!-!!!!!!-!!!!!!

Keep it up your good work champ !
Not only are they evil, but they give me super bad gas.
Oh, wait.. that’s the Ricotta.
Just started watching. Just wanted to say that I did not expect the weird mental flashbang of watching a video from someone I haven't seen before and then being very casually told "This is episode 197..."
Like, damn.
Analyzing Evil: Disney Star Wars
Vid would easily go on for a year.
Yes
Show us where the dibney hurt you
Have you ever thought about doing an Analyzing Evil on a Warhammer 40K character? There are a lot to pick from. Erebus, the Emperor, Horus, Konrad Curze, the Chaos gods, Fabius Bile, Fulgrim, any of the Drukhari, the Silent King, the C'tan, so many.
