    The Ithorian species are one of the most interesting species in all of Star Wars. With incredible detail from canon and legends sources, learn how their entire society was controlled by Mother Jungle. A living entity that grew to take up most of the surface of Ithor, and play a role in shaping countless other species across the galaxy, from the Old Republic through the Imperial Era.

    I can picture Mother Jungle being reborn over several thousand years on Tatooine. Being psychic and attached to The Living Force, all her memories would return over time. The Jawas and Sand People still have legends of when their world was green, so I'm sure they wouldn't mind. Especially if the Ithorians used part of her to revive Ithor. The latter part wouldn't start for centuries, but in the meantime, Tatooine turns green, and a large part of the planet becomes the new Mother Jungle. Tatooine's Mother Jungle manages to figure out what the planet was like before the Rikattans glassed it and purposely holds back from taking over more than a third. And, even then, only where it appears that forests used to be anyway.

    The Ithorians were one of my favorite species in Star Wars. So it hurts seeing the Vong do what they did to them.

I still hold out hope that Byph is still alive and shows up again somewhere and Pypey would be old enough to appear as a young Jedi during the Mandalorian era so maybe he joins Luke's school.

    What a amazing species, I always had an interest in learning more about these strange looking people in the Galaxy far far away (as I do with everything else in that Galaxy) but I can never remember what they're called, so when I saw this video get recommended to me, I jumped right in and, wow, they were even better than I could've imagined; but that ended, oh that terrible fate of these amazing people, it broke my heart seeing the Ithorian suffer a fate worst than death, the lost of not only their home world, but effectively everything, including their goddess.
    I seriously hope they can bring back their home and goddess in some way shape or form, because such nice people do not deserve what they got.

      If you liked this video, you should check out Star Wars the Clone Wars, the drawn cartoon series, not the cgi series. There is a Jedi master called Roron Corobb, who along with 2 other Jedi masters try to get the Chancellor to safety from General Grevious. It's a great series, not only do you get to see how powerful an Ithorian can really be, but you also get to see how truly powerful Master Windu and Yoda are as they battle the droid armies.

    That ending almost made me cry. That wasn't right. But maybe the Mother Jungle can be reborn from that valley on Tatooine somehow, that would be really cool. Maybe even eventually brought back to Ithor. But that's assuming the toxin the Vong dropped is no longer active and that grove on Tatooine still exists. If either of those is false, then that wouldn't be possible. It would still take take centuries, or more, to terraform Ithor to make it habitable again, sadly, but given that the Star Wars universe treats thousands of years like they're nothing, that shouldn't be a permanent problem either.

    Thank you, thank you, thank you for doing this video. I believe on your last video, I asked if you had done a video about the Ithorians and some commentor answered my question, which kind of made me mad, as I was asking you if you had done anything. Needless to say, I am so very happy that you finally did a video about one of my favorite aliens of Star Wars. I really didn't know much about this species, mainly just what I saw as a kid when Star Wars first came out. They were only known back then as Hammerheads, and nothing else was known about them. After seeing the Clone Wars (drawn series, not the cgi series) and seeing Jedi Master Roron Corobb use the force to amplify his vocal chords, I was hooked. Now I hope that SWTOR makes a playable race, (not gonna happen, same for the Wookies or my other favorite Star Wars race, the Devaronians) which I think would be so bad ass. Meh, I can still dream about it.
