    @ivan ivanovitch ivanovsky the Celestials had already departed the living realm by the time The Infinite Empire started its first interstellar conquests. The Rakata waged war with the Celestials' "Firstborn" races and The Firstborns' very own genetically engineered offspring races. The Rakatan species themselves are evil mutants created from abducted Gungans on their homeworld of Lehon that were forever transformed via genetic experimentation by Cold Danda Sine (a fallen celestial child) in the depths of Otherspace; an abysmal alternate dimension. The Celestials were forbade by "The Supreme Maker" to dwell with their fallen creations after they turned away from them in favor of sin and warfare. The Rakata and other terrible races that came to inhabit the galaxy all those eons ago were usually unholy abominations made by Cold Danda Sine and released upon the normal galaxy to sow chaos and death to the Celestial crafted universe. Through the jealousy and simmering hatred of Tilotny, the curious and morally indifferent Cold Danda Sine, the apathy of Horliss-Horliss, and the naivete andintellect of Splendid Ap, the galaxy and universe would fall into disarray and eternal strife. Forever would there be war among the stars; at least unti the Greater Restoration. For tend of thousands of years if heinous and supernatural warfare would wage across the galaxy and be known collectively as The Cosmic Wars. History of this conflict and its influence across the galaxy and the greater universe would devolve into myth and legend just a few millennia after it had ended at the hand of a divinely transformed Horliss-Horliss. By the time of The First Alsakan Conflict history on The Cosmic Wars was all but lost to time so by the time of The Galactic Empire almost all knowledge of the terrible ancient conflict was gone. Only those who had the strongest of mental fortitude and went to the greatest of archaeological researching could unearth the long forgotten tales of The Cosmic Wars and what unholy dangers lurked beyond the veil of percieved reality...

    @ivan ivanovitch ivanovsky I knew you'd start going off about this. Good; shows you have interest in the topic. Okay, if you'd be so kind as to read the entirety of this (sadly unpublished) Star Wars novel I'd be eternally grateful. Link is here -> www.starwarstimeline.net/Supernatural_Encounters.htm This novel details the very beginning of the Star Wars universe, its early history and nicely ties up several (but not all) loose ends that plagued Legends. If you're a lore guys then this should be a quite enjoyable read. If not and you like simpler explanations of things and events then this will be quite the complicated ride. Also a fair warning, Joe Bongiorno's writing style takes influence from H.P. Lovecraft. Lots of adjectives 😄

    Shaping galaxies "on a whim" doesn't mean instantly. And I feel like that is an important point to make. If the Celestials /are/ the Force, and we know the Force is always working on its own machinations, then it seems likely that the Celestials are only all-powerful in the grand scheme of things, but not so much in the minute-to-minute minutia of the universe.

    @@thalmoragent9344 From what we know about them, they qualify for a Type III civilization. Quite literally. Not just like galactic civilizations that we see in Star Wars and Star Trek and others. But, a civilization that can basically do whatever they want, including collapsing the cores of stars from across the Galaxy, creating your own Star systems and setting up galactic barriers, and all in such a way that modern galactic civilization can only wonder about. What I’m proposing is that what they mean by Celestrials might just be refer to all pre-historical type III civilizations that not only left their tech or evidence of their tech that’s far beyond them, behind, but also that they have no knowledge of who or what they were. I mean, I know that this takes place “A Long, Long Time Ago…”. but the ingredients and conditions for life as know it just here on Earth date back at least 3.5 billion years, for the universe it dates back to about 7.5 billion years ago with a short period within the 1st one billion years after the beginning where the ambient temperature of space itself was “room temperature” and oxygen is the 3rd most abundant element in the universe and readily bonds with hydrogen. Meanwhile the oldest peoples and that know about only date back to about a million years, perhaps only a few million years in regards to ‘the Ones’. To put it another way; The history of Galactic civilization dates; 2.5*10^4 years. + 1.2*10^4 yrs for the pre-Republic, pre-Jedi era. What they know about who they call the Celestials; X*10^6 years For life in the universe; 8*10^9 years with a small chance at 13*10^9 And artificially, it’s theoretically possible to extend the years of your civilization into the future by; X*10^36 years if you are willing to live around the supermassive or ultramassive blackholes in the center of your Galaxy. With your only light source being completely artificial beyond maybe a few low mass stars that your people created since the last natural stars died out X*10^15 years after the beginning. And you could possibly extend that span to the next best thing to infinity if you are creative and willing to upload all of your people into a simulation with a crazy high time dilation. So I don’t see the problem with saying what and who they mean by ‘the Celestrials’ might be an agglomeration of all prehistoric civilizations that left advanced tech behind. And being opportunistic scavengers, it’s quite possible that the Rakata might not have invented hyperdrive as we give them credit for. It’s just that the modern hyperdrive was based off their version of the tech, since earlier FTL is possible in Star Wars and earlier people’s obviously got around the Galaxy somehow. I’ve always had a problem with how short most SciFi extends back in time. And then we get to series’ ‘Mass Effect’ where ‘the Reapers’ as we know them were created at least a billion years ago. Or like ‘the Expanse’ and we have an ancient Type III civilization on the scale like the Celestrials called ‘the Builders’ who date back at least 5 billion years and went extinct 1 or 2 billion years back.

    In my personal opinion, I’m a fan of having this lore about ancient cosmic beings in the distant past. It adds a feeling of wonder and depth to the Star Wars galaxy, the sense that not all was once as it is now. At the same time, I wouldn’t be a fan of bringing the ancient cosmic beings into the present time of the Star Wars narrative, as it loses much of the mystery these beings lend the distant past when you can suddenly perceive them for yourself.

A multiverse where thousands of galaxies like our own are locked in endless cycles of conflict. It begins, it ends, and then it begins again. Each time with trillions of lives hanging in the balance.

    Lucas actually worked on the Mortis arc, so I don’t think it would’ve gotten made if he didn’t okay it. My personal interpretation is that “balance” merely refers to a state of peace within the force. Whether that peace is attained through there being no darkness at all, or by ensuring that darkness doesn’t overpower light, it’s still “balance.” I think this especially makes sense when you see how much dark side shit Luke does in Ep VI, like choking guards.

    The interpretation I like to go with is that the closest thing in the Star Wars universe to true god is the Living Force. Essentially meaning that all of life and existence is part of one divine reality. This relates pretty closely to the Hindu and some Buddhist views on the nature of the divine. And since George Lucas loosely modeled the Jedi and their teachings on this sort of eastern spirituality, it seems to make the most sense that the Force itself and therefore the universe as a whole is god.
