Why these Two Overlooked Species Were the Most IMPORTANT in the Republic 

In numbers they were for a time, but by the 'old republic' era (4k BBY) to the days of Russan, their numbers were far outstripped by humans and some other alien species. Once many of the primary hyperspace lanes had been discovered and fewer and fewer lesser ones being desirable or taken up by other species, the Duro fell out of the public eye as they once had and many mid rim species and cultures began to swell in numbers on the galactic scene. On top of that, as the Nemoidians started to get deeper and deeper in the less tasteful realms of commerce. Many couldn't tell the strict difference. Nemoidians actually being an offshoot species to the Duro (Many Nemoidians after and even normal members of galactic society outside of their territory did their best to pass off as Duro to escape the hatred, distaste and otherwise general dislike towards them.) as their role in galactic society dwindled, so did the high numbers outside of Duro space aside from wandering explorers or those simply enjoying making jumps from system to system.

It’s important that, when watching Star Wars, the aliens don’t feel like they’re just there, especially when the MCs are Human. The two aspects must feel like they’re apart of the same world on an equal level. That’s one thing that makes Star Wars: Not focus, but the big picture.

Literally a few months after Palpatine declared himself Emperor, the Galactic Empire bombarded the Cassmasi homeworld. This led to most of that planet's surface becoming inhospitable and forced the Caamasi survivors to move to worlds like Alderaan.

@@NovoCognition damn, out od the frying pan and into the fire.

Check out the Kotor comics, it explores something like this.

*cackles in pazaak*

It also makes Humans look like dickheads.

Pray they aren't dark sided, hehe.

But we saw what happens when the Jedi ignored the Republic, twice: The Mandalorian wars, and the Pius Dea. The Republic needs Force Sensitives, not only to protect it in ways only Force Sensitives as well, but to help guide the Republic with the will of the Force, the will of Life.

@@levongevorgyan6789 The problem when a 'religious order' becomes part of the government is what we see happen through out the history of Jedi after being 'drafted' as officially a part of the Republic proper. The Jedi never intended themselves to be warriors in all but the most dire of situations. If it was the will of force to bring about the fall of Republic to the subjugation of the manadlorians? So be it. In every major conflict that did not involve the sith that the Jedi were pulled into once being integrated into the Republic, furthered them away from the balance they so wanted to achieve. Things within the order becoming stricter and stricter to try and go back to minimizing their role as peacekeepers and negotiators. But it was within the power of the Chancellor for force the Jedi to participate. Being advisory rather than tied directly to the Republic would have been the better option. The decimation of their ranks from the war with Revan and subsequent awakened a brewing hatred for sith that ended with Genocide. Aided by the Republic after absorption. Does that sound like the Jedi way? And a guiding hand to the Republic... Sure. Even at the height of 'public power', Jedi were a rare and sometimes still mythical 'things' outside of the core and conclave worlds. They guided the hand of the Republic in no meaningful manner. Also the Pious Daea rampage? That **Was** The Republic, under any other name. It was put down from within.

@@Meravokas Okay, but those problems in history exist because those religions are not provably correct. The Jedi are provably right. The Force does exist, and does have a will. It would be like if say the Dao was real and Daoist Monks could do all the magic stuff they do in Chinese folklore. When faced with that fact alone, a government needs both protection from those that misuse the Force, and guidance in regards to the Force. Also, you are getting the timeline wrong. Revan was born centuries after the decimation of the Sith. It wasn't a battle hardened, broken Jedi order that destroyed the Sith Empire, it was the noble, idealistic Order of old, lead by heroes like Odan Urr. And it's been retconned that the Sith destroyed themselves, at most the Jedi committed cultural genocide by destroying or siezing cultural artifacts of literal dark power.

I know what you mean! I used to always scratch an itch with my left hand, but then started scratching with my right because it’s my dominant hand.

See the Fel Empire. Successor to the Galactic Empire, not controlled by the Sith, ended up being the good guys.

Damn dirty aliens…

Ave! True to Palpatine!
