The Rakata are pretty interesting. Especially how they originated form the Unknown Regions, were able to replace the celestials and ultimately fell because of a plague and faded into obscurity.

[@djashovel]

There was supposedly a separate group of them that after they lost the force They went to the unknown regions They were the last of their species So in theory They could still show up and star wars But have Technology that replaces the force

In my head canon, the Celestials are the devs/writers and players of the Star Wars franchise. :D The vines are the server cords that hold it all together, and the Killiks were computer viruses - or "bugs". The hyperspace barrier is just the edge of the map. Abeloth, meanwhile, is clearly Disney. ;)

3:28 Grand Admiral Teshik's story is really cool. He is considered one of, if not the least 'evil' of the Grand Admirals (similar to Thrawn) and was actually a compassionate guy. He simply was in the wrong place at the wrong time being a high ranking imperial who survived Endor and the rebels were feeling particularly ruthless that day so they had him executed. It would have been interesting to have seen what would have happened if Teshik retreated or surrendered that day. Perhaps he would have joined up with Pellaon and helped the New Republic fight the Yuuzhan Vong.

[@marshalllatta2073]

[@maxtermind5110]

I personally think the Rakata and the tionese are the most interesting civilizations of the pre Republic era. I like the history of the Tionese and I hope their culture is explored as its distinct from the core.

The Trials and Transformation of Arhul Hextrophon sheds light on this era. Its on a website that is constantly updated in PDF format.

[@Im-Not-a-Dog]

On the Gree: How did neither the Creators or Researchers not know how to operate the technologies they created? It makes no sense that only the Operators would have that knowledge because they would have had to get that knowlege from the Researchers and Creators to begin with when they created the tech.

[@ChrisVillagomez]

Same way that no one actually knows how Hyperdrives function, they just kinda work and everyone in Star Wars just knows what they're supposed to look and act like. I think Halo also has something similar going on with Slipspace Drives, where most ordinary people don't even know that a Slipspace Drive can be mounted improperly, which is what leads to events like the destruction of the Covenant Supercarrier in Halo: Reach

[@Im-Not-a-Dog]

​​​​@@ChrisVillagomez there are several cultures that independently developed hyperspace tech, like the Camasi, and comoletely understand how their hyperdrives work. The only time when you have people using hyperdrives they dont understand is cultures that got hyperdrives from another culture without developing their own, like the peoples that got their hyperdrives when the Rakata Empire fell. But that isnt the case for the Gree. They developed all of their own technology, then the people that built them(the Creators) inexplicably forgot how they work while actively developing and producing them but the people they're giving them to(the Operators) know how to use them. That does not make sense regardless of how you slice it.

[@azidal3755]

I think for the Gree it was simply the complex music based operations system.

[@Im-Not-a-Dog]

@@azidal3755 Even if its just the OS that the other Gree supposedly couldnt understand, the Creators would have had to invent that music based system, integrate it into all of their tech, and then teach the Operators how to use it. And during that whole process, the Researchers would be doing all of the R&D on everything scientific before it gets put into production, meaning that they would have an understanding of the base scientific and mathematical concepts even before the Creators could use them to make new technology with. The only way it could work out with the Operators having all the knowledge is if the Researchers and Creators had their minds blanked out after each time they invent something.

[@Zoshnell]

@ .55 minutes. Ol Willie Voice: "Did he say strap in or strap on?"

[@Im-Not-a-Dog]

The Je Dai: "Balance is when opposing forces are held at equal strength to maintain equilibrium." The Jedi: "Balance is when everything is weighted to one side, and that side just so happens to be our side." Yeah, Im pretty sure based on how hard the Jedi failed and the galaxy eventually being saved from the Vong by the Mandalorians(who are undoubtedly Darkside leaning in their philosophy), the Jedi were the ones that got it wrong. Also, the existence of The Bendu(the being, not the concept) kinda proves that the Je Dai philosophy is real. He is literally a physical embodiment of a concept within the Force that is strong enough to call itself into existence. He is the proof that He exists.

[@darthbane3937]

If the dark side was as dangerous as they claimed, Je'daii would have fallen from the first moment they tried to use it. Why you'd use the enemies weapons is beyond me. I'd be like get those to the temple of knowledge, I want a light side version created pronto. Wouldn't be surprised if the Rokata let the Je'daii capture and use them just to unbalance them. Maybe they were hoping they'd turn on each other or certain factions would help, but like the Sith on Korriban, it failed. I still notice that there were no Force wars until after the Rokata so again, if balance was impossible, they would have destroyed themselves long before. The dark side is insidious and corrupting, I won't deny that. The emotions of the Force echoe back to the user so I'd say you should be disciplined before you touch the dark side and make sure the person doesn't have some traumatic past the dark side is feeding on and that includes secrets.

Ah yes, Destroying one side completely, Totally 'balanced'. All jokes aside, I do enjoy your content; But I have noticed what I can only assume is AI art leaking into some of your videos which doesn't make me very jazzed. Anyway to get back on point, I think seeing the force in black and white like that makes it far less interesting than the latter, 'light without shadow is blinding' or something along those lines. I see the 'light' side as those listening to the force, submitting to it's will even; and the 'dark' side as rejecting the force's will, choosing your own instead; whether for good or evil. I know it's not likely the cannon way it works, and I know I won't change your opinion but I find it far more interesting. I see the force as a thing with it's own agenda, not good nor evil, and likely doesn't have it's users wellbeing at heart. I know I'm rambling but I've felt this long enough I finally decided to comment about it.
