Geonosians are kind of up in the air, because Lucasfilm has hinted that even after the Darth Vader comic they might still be around...BUT yeah, they're worse off than the Lasat most likely haha. The Rakata had a small surviving group in the Unknown Regions, and pureblood Sith were found as late as forty years after the Battle of Yavin. Again, they were about as well off as the Lasat, so I should have mentioned them as well. This topic was kind of weird and vague to cover haha. In hindsight I should have done the extinct and endangered species.
Did Luke and Lea ever visit their mothers Tomb?
TheBlackIdentity Actually Leia does go to Naboo and was given Padmé outfits which Leia hope her possible future granddaughter can wear them.
You can still make a video about species who almost went extinct witch I would love to see
Star Wars Explained Would whatever sentient life built the statues on Jeosyn in the Inferno Squad book be considered as an extinct species or is there just so little known about them that we can’t even classify them as anything?
I know the planet Rakata Prime is Canon, but are the Rakata people themselves?
Speaking of which, could you do a Species video on the Rakata?
Species “Jedi, please help us”
Jedi “Sorry, we are keepers of the peace, not preventers of extinction”
Also jedi: S I T H G E N O C I D E
@@results3325 tbf that was the republic
@@Julian-pw5mv well yeah your right, apologies
@@results3325 The Republic gave the order. But the jedi instead of refusing it they followed the order. So the Jedi CLAIM they're peacekeepers but they aren't. Infact if the Jedi and the Republic left the Sith alone after The Hyperspace War all of the other era's (The Old Republic, the mando wars, clone wars etc) would of (possibly) never happened.
What about the Zilo Beast?
Lol just read the comic with that weird demon creature. Also of course YAvin 13 had big bunnies and snakes
EckhartsLadder hello there!
EckhartsLadder you are awesome!
Hi your here I like that I just want to know if you remember the zilo beast
Hey Eck, I love your Legends lore videos, keep them up!
"of course"
Imperial officer: what would be a good training session for new stormtroopers?
Storm commander: why don't we just make a species go extinct?
Cal Kestis's master was a lasat. Dont remember his name but he was pretty badass during order 66.
His name was Jaro Tapal
Instantaneous Sanic Jaro tapal
Jaro tapal
He’s the only known Lasat Jedi SPOILERS FOR FALLEN ORDER IF U CLICK READ MORe
he dies in order 66 so they’re (as far as we know ) extinct
Jaro Tapal
This list is incomplete, you can help by expanding it.
*Darth Vader heavy breathing*
The Jerni, from the planet Dontstpbleevin, became extinct in the early 90"s, having been eradicated by Grunge.
Miserable Mozz This should have more likes
Then Grunge itself, died off and became extinct, after the death of Kurdt Kobain, Layne Staley, and Chris Cornell
@@subliminalmindfuck454 grunge isn't dead it's just in hiding like the sith
Don't forget the nevrgongivuup from the planet rackbristly
Now we unfortunately have the Mumbl Ra'ppers from the dreaded Soundcloud System.
And now a little update for the Zeffo.
66 likes now I will hunt down all remaining jedi for treason against the republic and clone troopers who disobey the order
And the Lasat
Zeffonians/Zeffo weren't on the list for sure, but yeah got to add them in.
The legends material is like getting a history lecture. Love it haha
Wouldn't the Geonosians be considered extinct? They too were another species wiped out by the Empire. Plus, the Rakata are listed as extinct as well.
As far as most of the galaxy is concerned the rakata are but some still live in an area of the Unknown Regions called the rakata archipelago
we still dont know about Geonosians but Pablo did say that its likely that there are more survivors in the catacombs of the planet and the Rakata were extinct in Legends but in canon they are still alive (some of them made appearances in the background of several comics)
There are some rakata still alive in the unknown regions so they're not actually extinct in Legends.
Yeah, she was originally supposed to be the geonosian queen from the Clone Wars. I think Pablo Hidalgo just wants the geonosians to be extinct.
I thought the rakata moved out into my unknown space?
What about Yoda and Yaddle’s race?
I like you for mentioning Yaddle. Good on you.
The decpacito race?
Not extinct if one is alive
@@lumatic6624 a species is sorta announced to be extinct if there is not enough of them to create a population without inbreeding, but if there is no population seen in a certain amount of time then they are considered fully extinct, until they reappear then it's the people looking for them faults
No one knows their race. Lucas made it this way.
The Taung are basically Star Wars’s version of the Yautja (Predators). Pretty badass in my opinion.
66 likes! Awesome
Ehhh sorta
what about the droid attack on the wookies
Chewbacca is alive
The wookies aren't extinct
Lol it's a joke in revenge of the sith
@@elpoyo8062 r/whooosh
Mark Marcos r/ihavereddit
Ok. I wish The Sith Species were Canon same with The Rakata. They were two of my favorite species from Legends. I loved them that much that one of my main characters on SWTOR is a Sith Pureblood.
Tarlo
Your comment sent me on a journey. First i looked up SWTOR, looked great, than i looked up Knights of the Old Republic. :P
Just one? I have several. Both Imperial and Republic.
You mean you wish that the sith and rakatans are part of princess canon not just EU canon? Lol
Does SWTOR stand for Star Wars Timelines On Roblox?
@@gamersgamestorm8291 star wars the old republic
Jerni: *makes **_Eternity_** crystal*
Jerni: *goes extinct*
Ironic
bro got extinct because no one cared about them
Sometimes I don't understand why a lot of the legends can't be considered cannon since a lot don't interfere with the films and the ones that do most don't even hurt the plot
Why can’t we have Star Wars class at school?
because thats stupid
*joke not registered*
uhhh you see you missed my joke
Opposing Winds getting our bright young minds ready for pub quizzes
Well the military realized Jedi as an official religion (not kidding, you can get it on your dog tags) so I guess you could legally start a religious star wars school
Gotta say those Iokath dudes had most depressing way to go extinct.
Killing themselfs with superweapon in civil war...
its almost like the humans ;))
A skywalker is a species of humans they became extinct in the rise of skywalker
But what about Re- **gets shot**
Snotty Piglets *we don’t talk about the palpatine*
Wait what! There's another Star Wars movie?? I thought That there were only the Six, Solo and Rouge one?
@@user-dx8nl9qm9d I think that this is a classic example of the Mandala effect. All of these people thinking that there were other Star Wars movies, often they claim there was a whole other trilogy. That is, of course, patently ridiculous since Disney decided to only do movies and tv shows set during, and between, the six films.
Lmfaooo
I like how Star Wars has more Lore than Middle Earth and probably everything else combined.
Star wars has more lore than the earth at this point
Probably, although I quite do enjoy middle earth(lotr,the hobbit,Jrr Tolkien's work,the silmararion)lore a bit more(my personal opinion)
Freddy fazbear: hold my top hat
*laughs in warhammer 40k*
though it comes at a cost of a lot of it being very vague
What about the Sith species? You mentioned the Missassi but not the Sith species
Pat Norris the Sith order, but not the Sith species. The Massassi are mentioned in canon, but nothing about the Sith species
The Sith species isn't extinct in Legends either (see Fate of The Jedi/ Crosscurrent and Riptide).
the sith purebloods are actually still out there in the unknown regions
@@aspect4849 yep that's the one
@Pat Norris does that matter? the vast majority of the video was dedicated to legends.
Reminds me of Mass Effect 3:
"The Synril found the way to eternal peace."
"What happened?"
"The Ditakur preferred war and wiped them out."
That's messed up.
I thought the freakiest ones were the aliens whose experiments turned them all into disembodied wraiths, and the ones who could survive full body dismemberment including decapitation, so the empire just dropped bio weapons on all of them.
What aliens
"The Slith" lmao.
Where all the Alderanians have gone???
Niko Janatuinen I believe they are all "Stardust" by now...
Damn I hate Tarkin
Niko Janatuinen They were humans
GP Cool
MemesMojo All of them?
why not the zillo beast and geonosians
he talk only of sentient beings, the zillo beast will be not include
Daniel Chavez the zillo beast is actually semi-sentient
The Zillo beast looked smarter than everyone thought, though, wouldn't you agree?
TWSTF 8 true. It appeared that the zillo beast had sensed Palpatine was evil which would explain why it targeted him. Which could also mean that it has a connection to the force to an extent maybe
Palpatine had the zillobeast cloned in Star Wars The Clone Wars, there are probably a bunch on kimino
Props in making that Canon to Legends transition, really, really appreciate it! :)
Star Wars has such a absolute Massive history behind it, with so many races, and so many characters thought its history!! Man it’s so hard to follow along.
I wonder how one man like George Luckas was able to create this giant story/history.
RIP GEONOSIANS
there's still at least one Geonosian Drone and a Queen Egg as shown in rebels
Max The Queen got killed by Vader in the comics.
André Gurkenstein they are just bugs
André Gurkenstein The comic Queen isn't the same one shown in rebels. That egg hasn't hatched yet and is protected by the last drone.
Canonically still salvageable via egg, so no.
Zeb looks so sad... :(
Nick Ng He had a lot of hidden survivors guilt before he found out he wasn’t the last lasat in the galaxy.
I think most of the Miraluka died during the disney purge
Well most of them were dead a rather long time back in history, and I doubt their lifespan would allow for even one to survive very much longer... Safe to say they died off in the Old Republic Era, or at best continued on as a "half breed" derivative species at best (if you want to believe in that possibility)
@@darthprodigal9401 visas was the only living survivor, and she could’ve found a husband and brought the species back, but she would technically be the last pure blooded miraluka
@@darthprodigal9401 The Miraluka are alive and well. Katarr was a colony, not the homeworld of the Miraluka.
@@darthprodigal9401 In "Dark Forces" Game the antagonist is a Miraluka dark jedi called Jerec and the game plays after Endor.
When going through the run down of species genocided by the mandolorians, you I believe the Cathar were missed.
The Cathar survived
@@elanhernandez they're not canon
@@theblade1251 you’re not canon
I think you missed the Mahran from Dark Disciple. It's the race of Akar-Deshu, or Desh, Quinlan Vos' best friend in the Jedi temple. The Separatists were given orders that all Mahran on Mahranee were to be considered extremely hostile and killed on sight. According to the book, the world and its people had fallen in the space of a few hours. And by the end of the book, even Desh is dead, marking the extinction of the species (as far as we're aware).
Entire species killed for training programmes is awful
Agreed.
This list just hits different you know ?
@General Macklunkey for the EMPIRE!!
@General Macklunkey
This is not the way
@@reeces.pieces3 agree I do, this is not the way for the clone army!
You forgot the Theelin
, in the final years of the republic (clone wars era) they underwent a series of mutations (the cause of which is unknown) that left them unable to reproduce with members of their own species, they tried to hybridize with other species like Humans to mediate this, but they still went extinct by 10ABY (at least in legends)
I wonder if that could have been a secret bio-warfare experiment or the effects of a virus that naturally inserted whatever gene or genes were responsible, because a mutation like that occurring and spreading is normally just not going to happen.
This was absolutely wonderful! Very comprehensive. Thank you very much for the video. You have a new subscriber. 😊
What about Geonosians? I’m not the most familiar with the comic so maybe they aren’t all gone
One queen egg survived...
N7Mith Said Queen ended up being infertile
there's still at least one Geonosian Drone and a Queen Egg as shown in rebels
N7Mith Vader went back and killed the Queen
Well... Sucks to be them.
The Yevetha. Introduced in the Black Fleet book trilogy, wiped out by the Yuuzhan Vong.
Yes. The SsiSsiRuuvi might possibly have been exterminated by the Vong too.
Wow. People go out of existence like it's going out of style in star wars
4:18 So some weird Lovecraftian skull monkeys exist in Star Wars? Okay.
I would love to see a video on either the weirdest Legends moments or the weirdest Legends species.
Yeah lmao. Legends is just crazy
@@frostyfrenchtoast it's what makes it fun!
You missed the Nightsisters, while their spirits exist and can possess other beings, they are all technically dead, including Talzin and Ventress
There was one Nightsister bounty hunter during the Galactic Civil War.
I didn’t think they were a species but rather a culture like mandalore
They aren't a species and in Legends there are a lot around by the time of The Courtship of Princess Leia.
J17 are u talking about aurra sing or another
Nightsisters are like jedi and the sith. An order of force users. They are not species. They belong to Dathomirians species. Same species as Darth Maul.
The Yevethans from Legends are also extinct. Other races told the Yuuzhan Vong about the Yevethans and how savage they were so the Yuuzhan Vong opted to wipe them out before they could attack them and they succeeded.
I thought in Rebels, they "learned" that the Lasat species actually ORIGINATED from that hidden planet (which was full of them being the original homeworld). And that the known planet that was wiped out, was just a colony. So unless we learned the Empire found that hidden planet and blew it up, they're probably just fine (as a species)
that’s what he said, man
What about the Dashade species ?
From Star Wars the old republic??
@@MeWatchVideos yes
Most likely not canon, it was created for swtor game for sith inquisitor story line, highly doubt Disney will bring them back
@@nerp1120 The Dashade were also mentioned in KotOR. It's a blink and you'll miss it mention, but it's there.
@@nerp1120 Irrelevant to this video, of which most mentioned species are no longer canon.
What about the Zillo Beast?
He only covers sentient species in this video.
Compucles the zillo beast is actually semi-sentient
Still doesn't count.
The Zillo beast was looking pretty PISSED at Palpatine when it heard what he wanted done to it.
I think everyone is underestimating how "sentient," it was.
(Plus, not all the species he listed here were a sentient, the Zillo beast being more so than a few that were included.)
You can go ahead and add the Zeffo now
bit late but what about the mythosaurs? the mandalorians drove them to extiction
I remember Rhen Var from the original Star Wars Battlefront, Good times.
What about the nightsisters
That's not a species
There the female of a species and maul was the last there species
Yeah, that's one of the few creative decisions of the new canon I disagree with. Barring the fact that the Clone Wars episode where it happened was kinda vague on the destruction of the entire species, it really shuts down a lot of really interesting story possibilities that could be had with the Witches of Dathomir.
I think you're thinking of the Dathomirians, the Nightsisters were just a small cult of them.
ThatOneGinger yes but most of them lived with the nightsisters but know what you I'll say you win if you can say a female dathomirian that was not apart of the nightsister no legend also ps sorry I just didn't know how to spell there species names but I was right about them going extinct
9:09 alien in the left upper corner: *EXISTS*
me: 'isn't that the music playing alien in lego star wars??'
Yep, sure is. Their species is called the Bith
Thanks for telling us all this information. Great video.
In Legends aren't the Sith pureblood extinct by the time of the Galactic Civil War?
No they had some remnants. Maybe thought them extinct however. The Sorcerers of Tund are one example, however they did get taken out during the Imperial Era.
No the Lost Tribe of the Sith was still around.
Roland Deschain How can they be counted if they're not known about? Thus why they're called the "Lost".
Daedra They are known about by around 40 ABY
Roland Deschain But that's not what was said, if something disappears completely following entire World destroying conflicts that also destroyed Koriban and a lot of knowledge, is it not gone completely? Yes, yes it is, if there is no trace of any continuum that it can only be presumed as extinct, but it doesn't matter now, it's all been scrapped now.
I am so glad, that I wasn’t a Jedi in that time... If I were, then I would have killed myself because of all the disturbances in the force.
in *which* time, exactly? Every time every place there's something hugely dumb going on.
@@grizzlymang1930 True that, Yoda used the force to keep himself alive to train Luke. I'm catching up on some comics.
The photos, artwork, and CGIs are among the most beautiful images I've ever seen.
Where the Zeffo created within the fallen order or were the created before the game? nonetheless they are extinct.
The telfrayan genocide might become canon soon because the "Base Delta Zero" initiative was referenced in Rebels
hey alex have you ever thought about doing a Clone Wars review? Not every episode but something like HelloGreedo is doing where its important arcs throught the show; you could also talk about potential impacts to the galaxy/war at the time and even some of the foreshadowing and lore covered in the show. I would love to see a series along those lines. Thanks for all the content and keep up the great work!!!!
Nice vid. Learned something new. Was hoping to hear something of Shola. Was always curious what it's inhabitants did to cause it's present state. Cheers.
You forgot mentioning the recatans. You mentioned how they killed other species but not how they went extinct
Well, a large number of them actually fled to a part of the Unknown Regions known as the Rakata Archipelago, and two factions within it managed to rebuild their ancient technology, even a smaller version of the Star Forge
“The empire retaliated with genocide” This is why The Empire is my favorite
All hail the Emperor!
A video about k'kruhk would be cool; or a video about the Whiphid species/culture would be cool too.
Great video. This list of extinct species had a little more depth to my sci-fi novel I am currently writing. Thank you ! :)
You can add the zeffo to it now thanks to fallen order
what about the basilisk?
They did not go extinct, merely degenerated culturally to the point of becoming beasts
Harry Potter killed it in the Chamber of Secrets, but it's unknown if there are any others out there...oops, wrong franchise.
no, their predecessors, a dragonlike species whose homeworld the mandos conquered
What about the droid attack on the wookies?
This is a great video, Alex. But you made a little mistake there, The Iokath species, for which we unfortunately have no name as of now, didn't design weapons for the Eternal Empire, although the Eternal Empire did used the Fleet which had been designed by that species, but Emperor Valkorion merely found it.
I believe that the Eternal Empire did find and convert some of the Iokath weapons for their own use.
@@amberkat8147 nope, Iokath is only found again during the events of Knights of the Eternal Throne. And while the Eternal Alliance and whatever faction you end up cooking to ally with during War for Iokath do end up taking the planet's technology and studying so they can make weapons, a new walker specifically, by then the Eternal Empire is no more and has been conquered by the Alliance. So once again, they did not develop weapons for the Eternal Empire.
Found this at 2am about 2 years after upload but I am very glad I found this
Well now that Jedi: fallen order exists, we add the zeffo to that list
Keep up the great work m8, this is awesome content
Now we can add the Zeffo to this list
I love this. Just the legends part tho it's SOOOO much deeper.
I love that you used Base Delta Zero!
R.I.P Taungs: the proto-mandalorians
That moment when you find out Luke committed genocide.
I've actually got no words LOL
Well, I think when the spices you kill literally has "Demon" in it's title... you get a pass. I mean you kill one little Demon and it's counted as genocide because it's the last one and they're now extinct. Most people would say "good riddance".
As boba said "there are no words"
you know i see these mentioned a lot because theyre never explicitly stated to hae died out but are so rare their extinction is highly likely by the time of the movies, the rakata, esh-kha, dashade, and pureblood sith could all be on this list. arguably since the massassi were included the flesh raiders also belong here, being offshoots of the rakata, and the evocii belong here, being the original inhabitants of nal hutta who were displaced to nar shadda by the hutts and slowly died out due to extremely poor living conditions. they were considered extinct by the clone wars, but actually went extinct during the yuuzhan vong war
Star Wars explained what about the *zillo beast from the clone wars? I thought in the clone wars episodes they said he was the last one of his species thought to be extinct but then that one died in coruscant.
Geonosians and Sagot aren't classed as extinct anymore
What about the Zeffo
The Zeffo I believe introduced in Jedi Fallen Order as well.
I remember the Gobindi and Kivian from Galaxy of Fear! Genuinely those books defined my childhood
The Rakata and Celestials
Whoo Star Wars!
You have a lot of knowledge
Maybe yoda’s species? There are only a few and the ones i know of are all dead
You forgot the very species that made soo many others go extinct but ended up dieing off themselves, the Rakatta.
They never went extinct. They are still found on Rakata Prime in Tribal villages.
He forgot about Geonosis.
there's still at least one Geonosian Drone and a Queen Egg as shown in rebels
But in a comic Darth Vader goes back to kill the Queen.
Pablo did say that its likely that there are more survivors in the catacombs of the planet
They probably have unknown colonies as well.
There's a Queen Egg, unhatched.
She hatches, she breeds more Geonosians.
Which includes more Queens.
This is canon to.
How your entire species can be wiped out clean
1: Plague and disease
2: Retaliating against the empire
3: Retaliating against slavers
4: Retaliating in general
5: Empire decided to kill you off to hide projects
6: having enemies
7. Existing when the Empire did in general
Oh sweet, the Gobindi! I loved Planet of Fear!
Not every non-human background alien has to be a newly introduced alien race in any of Disney's new films whether it's the Sequel Trilogy, the Anthology Films, or any upcoming Star Wars trilogy next decade.
You can add Han, Lei, Luke and the SW story arc to that list after the ep 8 buggering.
Whoever named all these, i love you
Wow lot of dead species!
Never thought star wars gets this real!
Also great video;)
Me: That's Cool
Also me: Wait Yoda saw most of this
Maybe that's why he became so dogmatic... He couldn't stand watching it all happen
Going extinct, species are. Do nothing, I will
The Evocii went extinct after the Yuuzhan Vong attacked Nar Shaddaa
6:30
Favorite holiday
Very Interesting
Geonosis
An asteroid that was strong in the dark side... and interesting thought
There was some Sith found in 41 ABY I think they went though some kind of space-thingy during the Hyperspace Wars. They had loads of Massassi in stasis too.
Oh never mind they blew up by Jaden Korr.
Republic: Sir put down the spice now or we'll open fire
Porporites: i'm just taking a little sip
