    It’s at least a solid part of legends and so much of disney canon has just been adopting the cool parts of canon so i expdct it is/will be canon.

    Here's what wookiepedia says

    Human History, Canon

    • Vague on whether humans were the first colonial power, strongly implied to be the dominant colonial power when measured against other empires like Duros.
    • So, unlike legends for first point, like legends for second point.

    In Stargate for instance they were slaves that were taken everywhere in the galaxy.

    I’m looking forward ro getting around to watching Stargate. If i understand the premise, star wars legends has a very similar story leading to the origins of hyperspace and space travel for humans.

    https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Infinity_Gate

    https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Infinite_Empire/Legends

    Maybe it was lifted straight from stargate. This is all by writers independent of George Lucas, for the record


    Oh and for the record, some planets are in a region called “The colonies,” which i would think of like New England for the Star wars galaxy - the original colonies of groups setting out from the inner rim of worlds as they progress outwards.

        It’s confusing as well because there’s a double layer to the lore; humans rose up against from the ashes of the Rakatan Infinite Empire, who had enslaved them and other worlds using the infinity gate technology. The rakatans had themselves rebelled against the Kwa, who enslaved them and other worlds using the infinity gate technology.

        The Kwa received the technology straight from “the celestials,” a small family of force wielding deities who help to keep the balance in the force and also keep on leaving random super-tech spacestationa lying around in space.

        Then the kwa, after being defeated by Rakatans, turned into dinosaurs for some reason that i don’t understand. Completely un-evolved.
