      I mean she sorta lost it at least four times. First she lost her biological family and then she thought she had Jedi as a family and then she lost them after the Jedi bombings. And then she found family in Rex who basically became her newer family who she lost during the Jedi purge of Order 66 and by that I mean to survive they had to leave one another. And then she would’ve found some sort of family with the characters from Star Wars Rebels such as Ezra and Sabine who she in a way lost in the finale and once she was featured in the Mandalorian.

    Shaak Ti is pretty much the Jedi version of "tis but a flesh wound". Shes "died" multiple times in legends, some were probably just alternate timelines, and several unexplained points in the "main timeline".
    She gets shot "just an inconvenience"
    Grievous beats her nearly to death
    "Pain killers and a bacta drip, she good"
    Near fatale electrical burns "apply some ointment, good to go"
    Impaled through the heart "pfft just another Tuesday"
    What starkiller/Galen marik did "faint death"

    I'm sure George Lucas used the general culture of many Native American Indian tribes for an inspiration for this species.
    I was born in a Indian family and went to a school that was all about the culture of being in the circle of life, mostly used to help us feel like a family. And after I graduated and went to live on my own, I do miss that atmosphere, and I agree about how that Star Wars species feels extremely alone when away from their heritage.

      Like how we used to all live together as kind of one family, the hunting culture and how they abandoned the ones that couldn't survive on their own (which is just something you had to do for the survival of everyone in a harsh climate).
      The force also reminds of sila in inuit belief, which is kind of the spirit/force of the universe, but is also used to describe the mind. And inua which is kinda the idea that everything is alive and has some spirit/force with it's own mind.

    All of those "contradictions" aren't really contradictions, unless you have some "only one culture per species" rule enforced in your fictional universe.
    I mean look at that vast array of cultures on earth, often believing completely contradictory things. Even simple little things, in ostensibly closely related cultures... like how seeing a black cat in the UK is good luck, but in America it's bad luck. And that's a small, benign difference in cultural belief, between two cultures that are joined at the hip. Cultural disagreements scale all the way up from that, to the really big ones... the big, idealogical / theological differences that wars are fought over, genocides committed over... the whole works.
    A lot of scifi though tends to be like "all the people from planet XZY have this culture".

Especially since most planets are unified, and most others suffer from warlords. And therefore just have a culture of violence.

      I think it’s fair for entire planets to share the same culture in the future. 500 years ago, neighboring villages had different cultures but now entire countries can share a culture. It’s been less than a hundred years since advanced communication technology has become ubiquitous and our cultures are already noticeably more alike now than they used to be. I don’t think it’s unreasonable for an entire planet, after of thousands of years with advanced communications technology to have a single homogeneous culture.

      They actually aren't either. That was a myth made up by others in the galaxy due to the fact that Togruta could kill their prey in a single bite to the neck. They aren't actually venomous, just know exactly how to bite to kill their prey instantly. However they have done absolutely nothing to dispel this false fact and some encourage it given the automatic intimidation factor.

      One could argue that leaving someone to die peacefully and with some dignity is a bit different from utter enslavement.

      The ones that were confirmed to leave people behind were the Togruta on Shili, the ones that the Republic helped are different and behave differently. You really think born and hardened predators like the Togruta on Shili would've just flipped over and let the Separatists ocupate?

    it is possible that Ashla was a half breed between togruta, and Iktotchi parents. her horns look much more closely like the horns found on Saesee Tiin, but her skin tone is closer to known togruta than to Tiiin, who is really the only Iktotchi widely known.
