Great video, as always. Do you remember the species Padme tells Anakin about, when they're at her family's home in the deleted scene, looking at the old photograph? She says their planet was destroyed; do you think THEY all went extinct?
@VaultHolocron3 ай бұрын
Thank you! That’s a very good call out. I think you’re right to suggest they likely went extinct. The species were mentioned in the book Queen’s shadow as well as the deleted scene and both times it’s said that the species were unable to adapt away from their planet (Shadda-Bi-Boran). I should definitely watch through the deleted scenes again.

From what i recall, the Rakkata did not go extinct. They contracted a virus that took away their ability to use the force, namely the dark side, and they shrank back to Rakkata Prime to live out their lives, dumbed down to how they were before they were contacted and taught about advanced tech.

Sorry, I should’ve been clearer in the video. I didn’t mean that the zeffo fully replaced the rakatans as they are definitely both canon, but more that they fulfill a very similar (if not the same) role within the universe.

@@VaultHolocronthey are canon, but also not really. They might’ve been mentioned, but no image of them exists. Kind of like Revan himself. For all we know they might look completely different. Nor do we know if the Star Forge is canon or if the Rakatans built the first hyperdrives or if hyperdrives were modeled after the Purgils. the Rakatans built the first hyperdrives modeled after the Purgils and the greater galaxy reversed engineered Rakatan technology and, with the understanding of the inner workings of the Purgils, built the first hyperdrives that didn’t need a connection to the Force to operate. In legends it is the Rakatans who built the hyperdrives and the rest of the galaxy reversed engineered and copied them, whereas in canon it is the Purgils who inspired the first hyperdrives.

Although not a sentient species, I’d say that the Tarentatek are extinct. One is mentioned and even depicted in the last episode of season 6 of the Clone Wars, but it doesn’t seem that they are alive anymore. The Tarentatek are a highly aggressive beast-like species that only preyed upon force sensitives and Jedi. They have been known to go into hibernation for long periods of time and reawaken when the dark side is at its most powerful across the galaxy. In legends there was once a “great hunt” of them where the Jedi attempted to hunt them to extinction and rid them from the galaxy. The few that survived lived on worlds extremely strong in the dark side and were out of reach for the Jedi. In KOTOR there is one on Kashyyyk, three on Korriban, and I believe two on Lehon.

The Kaminoans may also be functionally extinct. Assuming the Empire destroyed all structures on Kamino, that would leave the only survivors of the species as Halle Burtoni, Lama Su, and perhaps a handful of scientists. The Kaminoans would likely despair knowing that the genetic bottleneck would likely be to great to overcome.

That can't be cause the Rakata were natural dark side oriented in nature they never studied the light side even the weapons used the Darkside with the force sabers. The Zeffo we original light side, they would be a bad replacement in my opinion. Not too mention in legend the Infinite Empire were responsible for creating multiple humanoid alien races such as the Twi'lek and Zabrak making it possible for them to mate with actual humans. Best example of this would be Jacen.

4:26 This is something I think cannon should tackle more directly. Something I can’t help but critique Star Wars for is that the empire seems to have become less imposing as villains. They’re portrayal seems more slap stick and while yes making fun of your villains is good for a comedic element, I’d like a story where we see why it was important for the rebellion to succeed and why the new republic letting the first order come back was such a betrayal to the peoples of the Galaxy. It’d definitely be a tragic story to tell but I think the empire being control freaks and all has been hammered home enough. It maybe a good idea for the empire to be shown to committing crimes akin to the inspiration for the empire. I suppose I just want a story with a more darker feeling context. Maybe making a film or tv show where a group of rebels who aren’t quite the rebellion alliance are trying to save the B’ankora would be a good premise(only for them to fail utterly).

They weren't fully wiped out like the Geonosians. They have a better chance of rebuilding their species. The last “Known” Geonosian couldn't produce because her womb was destroyed. So to keep her “people” alive, she placed herself in a droid factory to produce droid “Geonosians” There could possibly be other Geonosians who escaped death and went into hiding, but it's unknown.
