You know things are not going well in the universe when you're happy to hear the Sith won a big battle.

[siphonicstorm]

I do love the Old Republic Era. But I also love reading about the Era of the Infinite Empire. It's always awesome learning of this stuff.

[corpyhogan]

The Rakaatan species enslaving every other species in the galaxy was wild when I read it for the first time 😂 Authors must have had Lucas’s head spinning with all of the lore reaching that far back

[grantgillum]

You know what's scarier than being a Jedi during the March on the Temple?

Being a Rakaatan during the slave revolts.

The celestials need to be delved into more in canon.

[TheAETHER]

I love this part of the lore. There are so many interesting stories that predate the OG trilogy and they are so interesting. I also like how the design of the rakatan race looks and their star fleet design & architecture. Thanks for this video

Around 37, 000 bby Abeloth broke free of her prison in Maw cluster and unleashed chaos upon the galaxy. In an effort to weaken her, the Celestials employed the Tho Yor to transport Force sensitives from the lesser races across the galaxy to the planet Tython. With galactic civilization all but destroyed Abeloth grew tired and retreated beck to her world within the Maw. The Celestials had the Killiks rebuild the devices that maintained Abeloth’s prison.

Over the next 2, 000 years, Rakata used the Infinity gates and hyperspace drives to become to fill the power vacuum that was created by Abeloth. The video covers the rest.

Wow, so the Rakata MADE Tattooine's Sand... Anakin would've wiped out their entire race 👀

[TetsuShima]

Rakatas: "THE WHOLE GALAXY WILL BE OURS FORE..."
The Force: "Hey, I just got tired of you. Bye!"
Rakatas: *Lose their connection to the Force* "F*ck..."

[Killzoneguy]

Its very interesting how the Force just abandons the Rakata for being entirely too evil. It reminds me quite a bit of how the Force basically abandoned the Yuuzhan Vong. I feel like that could have been a very interesting connection that we just didn't get to see.

[dinodm]

A sentient species in the corner of the galaxy: I sure do love being an isolated society enjoying our own planet’s natural resources!
The Infinite Empire: *it’s free real estate*

[thisisdavid]

oh my poor well intentioned

and yes please more about the Kwa, Gree, Killiks, Rakata.... the old history is best, would love to see you do more one the very old races

nicely done yet again chaps :)

They also made the force saber, which inspired the lightsaber.

[amanzeihedioha]

I just had the misfortune of finding out a character I respect and like turned into an insulting hot mass. You've made my my day with this unexpected treat, Geetsly. Thank you

[shadowhunter]

Love the "prehistory" of any setting.

[michaelandreipalon]

- Celestials kinda create the Rakata.
- Rakata then rebel against the Celestials
- Celestials become one with the Force during their "defeat".
- Rakata are eventually purged out by Force ailments and the appearance of Force users.
- Star Wars history as we know it happens (at least, in the Legends universe).


What is this, the history of the Precursors and the Forerunners from Halo?

[ANDREALEONE]

If the Kwa become the unwittingly reason why Rakata enslave the Galaxy, what would happened if Kwa visit the Sith instead?

[allnamesaretakenful]

Don't think we didn't notice the Warhammer 40K artwork. Sneaky Geetsly's.

[jawafreak]

Damn, those Rakata had huge balls to challenge the Celestials in war and win through sheer courage and ruthlessness.

[veespa_]

Celestials: We’ll destroy them internally by creating hyperspace anomalies and multiplying them, then waiting it out as they implode from within.

Rakata: 👁➖👃🏽➖👁 — It’s war, then!
