Hey guys that crowd slaughtered here bringing you a fun star Wars top 5 video
I know I've really been on a star wars versus kick for quite a while
I think it's pretty likely that many of you
Don't actually know that I do lore videos and top 5 lists and other things besides the actual Matchups nonetheless
I really hope you guys will give this video a chance anyways check it out
Let me know what you thought down in the comments
So today, we're counting down the five most advanced races in Star Wars Legends when I say advanced
I'm not referring to a biological power or a strength, but rather a species technological or scientific
Achievements, there are a few rules associated with this list first of all I'm going to exclude any purely machine races like the Silentium
I'm also going to exclude any purely interdimensional beings like Waru, just because it's really hard to actually determine how advanced
They are I'm also going to exclude one-off powerful beings because the focus here is on
civilizations rather than Powerful or Advanced individuals
Finally, I'm not going to be counting groups like the Republic or the Empire. I want to focus on homogeneous
Alien civilizations before we really get into things
I just want to give a notable shout-out to some entries that just barely missed
Making the list. First is the Kwa, one of a few ancient
Civilizations for me to be talking about in this video, the Kwa invented their own version of hyperspace gates
Allowing them to traverse the universe almost
Instantaneously worried not for other advanced races which actually resided in the Galaxy at the same time the Kwa will most likely made this list
there's also the Yakka who enhanced their newborn children with
Cybernetic implants, and these implants allow each member of their species to operate at a genius level unfortunately as a civilization
They don't really have any technological feats to point to so they're left off this list
There's also the Kathol, one of my favourite weird species in the Star Wars universe
The Kathol stored themselves within a large crystal known as the "Lifewell" and were guarded by the DarkStryder
The DarkStryder was one of the many biological creations of the Kathol
and I love him because his design is really unlike any that we see in the star Wars universe
Finally we have the Ssi Ruu a race of militant
Dinosaur creatures who had mentioned in a few previous videos, the Ssi Ruu don't make this list because well they do seem to be quite
Advanced they only have one really remarkable bit of technology
And that is the "Entechment" tech that they use, "Entechment" is pretty cool, though,
And it allows them to convert the life force of a living being
Into pure energy for their use and again while that is impressive
I would want to see more
Scientific achievement for them to actually make the list so let's start at number five and this one was hard for me you guys know
That I love the old Lando Calrissian Trilogy
Just because it's so campy and it's totally fun during that trilogy Lando actually encounter Several advanced
Civilizations throughout the Trilogy he's with his friend Vuffi Raa, who is actually a young Silentium, which are a very advanced civilization
although totally droids
So not eligible for this list and he also meets the Sharu and the Oswaft
Ultimately in my mind the Sharu are the more impressive of these two species
So they will take the number 5 spot on this list
But I do think the Oswaft are interesting as well, the Oswaft are essentially a race of very
Intelligent flying Manta rays. I think the most notable thing about them. Is that they're able to travel through hyperspace
Organically however besides for that it's not really clear to me that they have any real impressive
Scientific achievements, the Sharu, on the other hand were quite impressive like many ancient species within the Star Wars universe
They created these massive
Pyramids much more notably than that though they created the Mindharp of Sharu
long before the main events of the Star Wars Saga, the Sharu encountered a race of
extraterrestrial attackers
we don't know exactly who they are but they were dangerous to hide themselves they essentially went underground and
Devolved their race turning themselves from the advanced Sharu into the primitive
not advanced Toka, upon the activation of the Mindharp the
Civilization returned to its former glory and the Sharu removed all human settlements from the planet the fact that this Sharu had the ability to
Transform their species into a lesser one and then
Reactivate themselves when the time is right is really impressive to me and is why the Sharu are number five on the list
Coming in at number four is likely going to be a controversial one
It's the Yuuzhan Vong, the Yuuzhan Vong were
Technologically advanced in a quite different way than every other member of this list instead of improving or furthering classic mechanical based
Technology they instead innovated becoming masters of biological weapons and biological tech generally the using long bread countless
biological entities
Solely for the use of furthering their civilization and they created everything from organic ships
To brains which would coordinate their war efforts to unique and deadly weapons
And what's probably most interesting about their creations? Is that they're each made perfectly while still maintaining
Biological individuality, the Yuuzhan Vong are so advanced that they managed to wipe out or expel every race within their own
Galaxy that even includes the Silentium which I mentioned just a couple of minutes ago
They also came very very close to defeating a united Star Wars galaxy
Number three is the Gree, an advanced civilization
And you should get used to this because actually the rest of the civilizations on this list are from a very very long time ago
The Gree utilize technology the likes of which is not otherwise seen in the star wars Galaxy including even in the modern era
The Gree visited other dimensions could actually interfere with stars and planets and
unlike most species and civilizations in the Star Wars universe
Actually developed their own artificial intelligence, like the Kwa that I mentioned earlier the Gree also used hypergate
Technologies such that they could travel throughout the Galaxy in just an instant rather than going through hyperspace you step through this gate
And you're at the other end immediately notably the gree also invented their own hyperspace technology. They didn't just get it from another civilization
They actually developed it themselves
And this may have been one of the first faster-than-light travel technologies invented in the star Wars universe
This hyperspace technology from long ago was actually more advanced than most modern systems and allowed the gree to travel through even difficult
Parts of the Galaxy not having to worry as much about potential hazards
The Gree would eventually become enslaved by the
Celestials and they weren't very prevalent in the modern Galaxy however their technology was still very advanced and people would often plunder
former Gree planets trying to find advanced tech to use for themselves
number two is one of the
contemporaries of the Gree, the Rakata, and the Rakata formed the Infinite Empire one of the first actually Galaxy spanning
civilizations in history
The Rakata were initially introduced to the Force by the Kwa, who I have continually mentioned throughout this video, however unlike the Kwa the infinite empire
Was not at all good
friendly or civilized and they immediately began expanding throughout the Galaxy fueling their technology with the force although they never mastered the use of
Hyperspace gates the Rakata had very interesting and very advanced technology
Probably the most notable creation of the Rakata was the Star Forge, the Star Forge was essentially a giant factory
that would use power from a star or some other energy source to create an almost endless stream of
Starships however
It wasn't just ships that the star forge could create we know for a fact that it could make battle droids
And I really don't see how its production could in any way be limited
We don't know a whole lot about the Rakata
And the technology they use most of what we know comes from the game knights of the old republic and its associated Media
But in my mind it is very remarkable that they actually used the force to power their machines
And I really think that's unlike any other species in the star Wars universe
interestingly enough this connection to the Force however
Actually, led to the downfall of the Rakatan Empire after a virus caused the Rakata lose their connection to the force
They stopped being able to work their technology that led to the quick decline of their
Civilization anyone who's a fan at the more esoteric or weird parts of Star Wars Legends?
Or is really into the deep history of the star Wars universe
probably knows what number one is the Celestials are a race of extremely powerful perhaps even
Unimaginably powerful beings who existed very early on in the Star Wars universe
the Celestials created countless of grand works Which
existed in to the modern Star Wars age and this is everything from ancient machinery to the Sinkhole Station to Possibly even the
Hyperspace anomaly that borders the edge of the Galaxy more than that
It's actually believed that the Celestials formed and manipulated individual star systems
It's pretty clear that they impacted the Galaxy on a grand scale
The true Nature of the Celestials has never been fully revealed we know that for example
The Ones are actually Celestials
But we don't know whether they're gods just really an extremely advanced race and maybe something in between we do however know that with
Creations like Centerpoint Station this race was clearly the most powerful in Star Wars Legends
And that's that that's the top five most advanced most
Scientifically Brilliant species and civilizations within the Star Wars universe at least according to me
I consider myself a pretty big star wars, and I've read pretty much everything in Star Wars Legends
But you know what I don't know everything so if I forgot a race or a civilization that should have been on this list
Please let me know down in the comments also
let me know what liked this video whether you want me to go back or heavily to top 5 lists and more videos or if
You prefer just me to focus on versus Matters
I really hope you guys did enjoy this and I'm looking forward to seeing your suggestions for future videos
Anyway, thank you so much for watching guys as always may the force be with you
