    You know you’re a successful space-faring species when you’ve been doing it so long that a whole separate species evolves. Not only that but the Duro and Neimoidian’s were consistently influential throughout galactic history

      If they had a similar population like the humans in the galaxy, why is there a lack of Duros in Star Wars stories? There are far more Twilek than there are Duros. I would say Humans and Twilek are the success story of the galaxy, be it intentionally or unintentionally, with them being almost everywhere and part of almost every event in galactic history.

    • @curtiswong7280
      @curtiswong7280 ปีที่แล้ว +26

      @@Bionickpunk We see Twileks a lot because they're often involved in underworld business(willingly or not), and Star Wars has a tendency to take place more in seedy, criminal environments. We also don't go into the core(which they and their colonies are from) often, which probably makes Duros less common; and of course, a pretty significant portion of the Duros population is taken up by their offshoot Neimoidians, who we do see a lot.

    One of the few great species on par with humanity's achievements. Them, the Chiss, and Humans are really the greatest species in all of Star Wars, and the stuff in Legends is a great showcase as to why.

Same with female Duros with head hair; they’re actually some sort of sensory focused organ, primarily for keeping their nests safe & such…

    The Gree did that too. But then they just chilled out and forgot how they did all that fancy stuff back in the day. They're also quite nonhumanoid in their look. Molluscoid. And might not value stuff like ambition in the same human like way. Being more like a eusocial caste based creature. Its kind of like if a cambrian creature developed intelligence as an evolutionary freak accident. But still remained a weird living fossil.
