"If Disney has a Brain" Thats a big IF

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.

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.

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.

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 fact that they are responsible for the diversity of species in the universe is wild

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?

Key word “IF” they had a brain, surely hope we get to further expand proper and unique SW history, and historical events such as this… again properly

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.

The Rakatan Empire was mentioned in the High Republic book series several times as well as Manaan and Kolto

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.

One of my favorite star wars comic series

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.

Loved the Rakata ever since I played KotOR the first time. Game introduced so much amazing lore.

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

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

I am a fan of the dawn of the Jedi comics and the Rakata are particularly standout villains since they are so brutal in their tactics.

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 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 Rakata are the ultimate version of riches to rags in Star Wars lore

Having only come across the Rakata in SWTOR this was a very interesting backstory. Thank You.

Incredible work with this video Theory. You carry Star Wars on your shoulders and we're grateful for you.

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.

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.

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

Me, who hasn’t watched any andor yet, being absolutely psyched by this

A very interesting and informative video, definitely need to read more about the Rakata.

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

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!

This is a very needed video. Thank you for putting this together!! 🎉

Honestly, if a show like this was to happen, I'd probably be paying more attention to the Force Hounds than anything else lol

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

I love this idea.

Awesome video! Really interesting and a new thing to watch about Star Wars!

Haven't watched the video but I absolutely agree

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 haven't played kotor in so long, thx for this.

Thanks for the background. That was awesome!

Fascinating! I love this kind of deep lore. Great vid, Theory

Imagine a movie about the battle between the ancient Rakata and sith or Je’daii. That could be so good.

Very Good, When I noticed this video I was thinking of a few key notes in their history/era, you hit every one :).

You should be a movie producer

Amazing video! I would love to see a film/TV series made about this.

This was a great video!

I'd love more Old Republic lore videos. Great video!

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.

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

the Kwa literally returned to monke

Good Video! May the Force be With you!

This video is classic Star Wars Theory. Excellent work my dude!

Loved this. Kept me interested from the first to the last word 👍👊👌💥

I would DEFINITELY be interested in a movie about this

So much amazing lore, that's already fleshed out and written... But Disney gives us Vespa's on Tatooine.

Loved the video

Great video

That was very intereseting, thanks

I have this exact comic, wow! Great Video Theory!

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!

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!!!!

Awesome video! 👍 👌

The music in the background is insane and really helps making you feel like you’re in the star wars universe

This is interesting. I've never knew ancient Tattooine was so glorious.

More of this kind of video please.

Thanks for this one Theory🙌 keep up the great content bro.

You are the best Star Wars KZfaqr that i now

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.

A refreshing video!

I like this video very much !!!

I want a TV show either live-action or animated on the Infinite Empire and after that, a Star Wars trilogy of the Yuuzhan Vong.

Finally more will learn of the Rakata infinite empire. They will rise again from the ashes

SWT: BIG VIDEO ABOUT TO DROP! Also SWT: uploads a legit normal SWT video. Audience: it’s treason, then…

I bet the ‘Rakata’ made great lasagna.

One of the most interesting and intriguing videos I’ve watched containing Star Wars lore. Great video Theory!

I HOPE YOU COVER XESH AND HIS CONNECTION TO THE RAKATA FORCE HOUNDS ARE SICKKKKK

I already knew this but this was pretty good

Man would be nice if Disney did

Sick!

Theory please keep dropping these long ones!!!

The crystal reveal got me so dang excited!

I loved SW theories lore video’s so much. I wished he’d go back to them

I'd be pleased if I see Rakatan in the form of an ancient holographic recording of some sort in canon. Like a Rakatan equivalent to a holocron found in one of Darth Sideous' secret vaults.

Disney slowly realizing "legends" is better than the crap they've been pumping out.

Imagine a live action series by Dave Filoni based the infinate empire.

King Adas is my FAVORITE Star Wars character!!

Legends continuity is so incredibly broad.

Disney should simply buy one of the legends books and open the last pages and they’ll see that they have many resources they can use, but they don’t 🤦🏼‍♂️

This is classic Star Wars theory content

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

Wow this is epic!

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.

Loved the vid and the Rakata. Does anyone know what books/comics they are from?

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.

A video on Cade Skywalker would be dope

Almost chocked on a piece of bread reading the title. 😂 Well done bro

THIS WAS SOOO INTERESTING LOL!! Like bruh can we please get a movie or show on these guys! So so interesting!

I haVE ALWAYS wanted to know exactly all of this info about the rakata.

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!

rakatans got hit wit tht Genophage from mass effect
