Rakata Infinite Empire: FULL History Explained

Join this channel to get access to perks:

The Rakatans are extemely interesting sentients with millenia of history in Star Wars. Predating the Jedi themselves, the Rakatan infinite empire is a story that I think all Star Wars fans (casuals included) will really enjoy. We got a name drop of them in Andor, and if Disney has the guts, they'll make more shows/movies based on the Rakata. They have SO much lore and history in Star Wars that the kinds of stories are endless. Heck, even cover them as the villains for the Je'daii on Tython.

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.

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.

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

[maartenkeus]

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

"If Disney has a Brain" Thats a big IF

[ezdub]

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.

[tkush]

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

[rellox]

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

[ArnoldValentino]

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

[darthnutsack]

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.

[rolinc.]

One of my favorite star wars comic series

[kevinharwood]

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

[nemdenemam]

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

[wadeskywalker]

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?

[jmannxiiiaaron]

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

[Farbautisonn]

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

[budwyzer]

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!
