For me, thematically and lore-wise, the Rakatan content we got is more than sufficient. They demonstrate the archetypal endgame of the Dark Side: power at the cost of stability; they're capable of more than the Light Side, but nothing they make lasts... other than the rubble and ruins. By the time we reach them, they're an utter dead end: relegated to their homeworld, living in the shattered husks of their former magnificence, and barely holding onto civilization after tens of thousands of years of near-feral barbarism. Yeah, they have their temple, but that temple's not much; just a vestige of their technological past. The Star Forge was their only true strength, and the only real avenue by which they might've returned to power, but if it was in them to do that, they would've done it in the intervening 30 thousand years; Only Revan and Malak had the will to actually use it for its intended purpose, and since canonically it's in this murky land of possibly having been destroyed, the one potential means by which they could've been anything other than a backwater's backwater of a planet is gone. Basically, they've completed their destiny and gotten their just deserts, and a handful of pacifist revolutionaries isn't enough to change the past or alter their course; they'll just continue to decay and diminish until they go extinct.

So there is a little talked about mystery I would love to see you dive into. You see in SWTOR each class had a small class mission on Rishi (the final bit of such content in the game). In the Sith inquisitor's you are contacted by an imperial Moff who sends you to meet a Sith Researcher. This Sith researcher was posted 30 years prior during the great galactic war in order to contact the inhabitants of the Rishi Maze. He received signals back but the language used words from 3 other languages in it. Ancient Sith, Gree, And Rakatan. These signals told him to modify his arrays and that they would be sent a boon. Specifically the boon was for the Sith Inquisitor. Each array he went to deaged him a year.

The rakata are an essential part of kotor. If it were the sith who made the star forge, it would’ve felt like another Star Wars monomyth, copying a new hope. With it we get a new , complex race that shows what could eventually happen to the sith. It’s little bits like the rakata that made Legends so great

It would be dope if the Rakata made a return in one of the shows or movies in star wars.

Modern Star wars tech is far superior to ancient Rakatan tech by now, and their cruelty wouldn't be anything new. They'd be a threat sure, and a cool one at that, but not as big a threat as they once were. Especially not without the star forge and the gateways the Gree (kree?? Kwa?)

If the force can choose to strip away ones ability to use the force then why didnt the force do so for the sith or jedi? there was no need for the chosen one if the force can just be like oh palpy you too evil and strong im not letting you use the force anymore.

It’s set at the start of the Mandalorian Wars, although that’s not the main focus of the story, and Revan is only a very minor character. The first part of the series is set on the planet of Taris.

hehehehhee Makatak.... Mac Attack... now I want a Big Mac

Really interesting, I thought I already knew a lot about the Ratakans, and I learned a lot more, thanks. Let me add some informations/theories. It's not often but sometimes we can see an evolution in Star Wars, I remember reading a book or a comic book where we learned that Gree had regressed to a wild stage, or evolved to be closer to nature (as opposed to a civilization). So it is also possible for some Ratakans. Their mastery of the force is relatively suddenly diminished, many of them are stuck where they were. And in 25000 years, a genetic evolution can take place. Especially in case of long isolation coupled with inbreeding. I had a theory while playing Star Wars The Old Republic that at least two species presented were related to the Ratakan: the Flesh Raiders Canibales of Thyton, and the Ongrees. I was right about the Flesh Raiders ! After checking while writing this post, it is canon, they are indeed a sub-race of mutant Ratakans. Concerning the Ongrees, there is also a resemblance, (eyes spread from the skull on the side and long skull upwards). And there is not only that: I can't remember how or where, but on Nar Shadda they help to keep a kind of energy source, a star forge seed. This mission was given to them by Revan (wink!). Moreover in clone war a jedi of this race is visible in the movie, they would be originating from Skustell in the Skustell Cluster (thanks wikia !). So this is just my theory: but it could mean that they are a deviant branch of the Ratakans, who chose peace and that the force would have forgiven them. Or it could be another species entirely, and I see only a simple evolutionary convergence. What do you think ?

Soa was the most badass of them imo,the remaining ones turned tribal and lost affinity to the force

There was a Rakatan Jedi in attack of the clones.

Here is one explanation of the "plague" separating rakata from the force: It was their genetic adaptation against their own way of life. Thus incomprehensible to the rakatan way of thinking. Recall that ancient rakata acquire force by devouring the flesh of force powerful beings, even by cannibalism. You could say midichlorians are their nutrient. But if dog-eat-dog, maybe better lack that quality that gets you killed? Simple natural selection would evolve them. Like I said, this would seem absurd to a rakatan - like warning a human against over-thinking.

So a genuinely interesting, informative, regular video? Not an April Fools..? Huh. Congratulations, I played myself, waiting for the "gotcha" moment. Great Video as always Good Sir!

Its crazy to think the galaxy at one point wasn't human centered just shows you humans can be wiped too if they keep playing with the darksides power.

Bit off topic but I've just realised the possibility that the Rakatan Remnant in the Rakatan Archipelago could have in some way created the Chiss species. Too many possibilities really to talk about in one comment without much evidence i think it's plausible that the Rakatan remnant could have created the Chiss species. After all it's not impossible that information or technology surrounding the mother machine could have also been developed in the Rakatan Archipelago given that research on the mother machine had started a while before Belsavis. It's also known that early Chiss history is widely obscured and that the they have genetic links to humanity however it's not impossible that either the Chiss were based off of humans or that an already established Chiss species descended from humanity would have been modified or altered to some capacity or even recreated. It also isn't that totally absurd that the Rakata could in some capacity control the Chiss Ascendancy whether they know it or not and either directly control the ruling families or have the Chiss set up as a neutral and never expanding civilisation that is trapped in perpetual paranoia concerning external threats which may have simply been manufactured by the Rakata. The latter theory would also give way to a possible resurgent Infinite Empire as the Chiss may have simply been established as a Rakatan outpost of sorts in both observing and studying the rest of the known galaxy as well as preventing any information regarding their existence from flowing to the rest of the galaxy. Thoughts?

Yeeeah..."too few to maintain their species" sounds more than a little unlikely. To say the least. They also have the records of the history of their people and likely the galaxy. I doubt it magically disappeared.

They will return one day with Darth JarJar leading their attack after reconnecting them to the force and consume all in their darkness

They can't have rebuilt their technology nor anything like the Star Forge for the simple reason that all of it requires using the Force, which they can no longer do. Same with mind prisons. That's the whole point. It also rather proves that they are extremely technologically inept as a species.
