The growth stopped IIRC when the Hydian way was discovered and colonization reached its southern end.
So around 3000 BBY give or take.

Agreed, I think in our joint venture we ended up making the timeline a good four thousand years, with one thousand of those years being the Rakkatan Empire and its general horribleness. My personal belif actually is that if it werent for the Rakkata there, the Galaxy would only (as in around the OT) now be begginig to develop Hyper Space and Intergalactic travel.

It's interesting to consider how much one galactic civilisation borrows from its precursors. Yes -- developing in a vacuüm is a much lengthier, trickier process. Rising up among the ruins by definition gives you something to work with.
Of course, although a Collapse leaves its own problems. See how we have the Outerrim falling to the Hutts due to the Rakkatans running amok. And of course It all came at a massive cost (see how the Rakkata well enslaved and opressed societies so effectively that their is almost no society under them which has any recording of what life was like before the "Gods" came)

The Hutts actually led a rebellion against the Rakata, when they were still living on Varl. But then a lot of species did as the rakata were rapidly declining at that time.

So off topic, but I have one of those AI apps that allow you to see what your future kid might look like, apparently according to AI this is what Luke and Leia would have probably looked like if not played by actors.

Someone mentioned the Star Wars reset idea to me today. I'd never heard it before. Thought I'd check here what you guys know about it.
Is it true? Are they going to nullify the last trilogy?

No.
It is a thing people are saying because there is no more media coming out post episode 9 or around the times of the ST as far as we know

Resetting the canon or Disney movies was a YT rumor. I don’t find it particularly likely. As Disney would have to either make the movies again or engage in some sort of massive retcon(Rebels’ world between the worlds was suggested as a vehicle) that would just be massively controversial and would make a lot of people angry and generate loads of bad PR.
Retconning seems a bit too positive and needlessly so to be honest.
Best bet would be just ignoring the Sequel Trilogy for the most part and override that stuff or trample over it as needed. It takes place 25 years after the Mandalorian anyways.

I suspect they’ll let it lie fallow for a few years and wait for some sort of prequel effect.
Better than what I would do. Turnabout is fair play, so Rey would be a coked-up whore prostituting herself to some Hutt, having thrown away her "sacred" texts for some creds, Poe would be chad-ing it up as the new general-commander of whatever new government arises from the aftermath of Episode 9, Finn would be the next Revan of the Imperium reborn, and Gatalena, the planet Holdo originates from, is put under some good ol' patriarchal rights and lefts where women are chained to the stove, men are stoics, and the war "profiteers" of Ep.8 abuse the natural resources to their hearts content.
Pissing all over the message of the sequels, whatever these were supposed to be.

Everybody's fucked up all their credibility. All governments have been wrecked. All noted leaders are dead. A divided galaxy is indeed the natural result.
The sad thing is that could be an interesting thing to explore. A galaxy divided whether with some groups trying to restore some sort of order from the chaos that would ensue. Force users (and not necessarily just Dark-siders) setting themselves up as feudal lords and force users who believe they should stay out of the mess of politics. Things like that.
But I just don't trust Disney to be able to do it well.

TBF for all we know Palps just transferred to another clone and is cooking up a new scheme ...

The Empire is no more, the New Republic--once considered the new hope of galactic governance has been torn by division and deception from within, and extremist holdouts have slaughtered millions using weapons of mass destruction and engineered plagues.
All you need is a loss of hyperspace communications and what do you get?

It's as if multitudes of Battletech fans also interested in Star Wars suddenly screamed out in horror at once.

The ironic thing is that given the realities of such a period, a man like Thrawn would genuinely be a good guy. Without suddenly changing his personality to make him "good". If the galaxy is torn to shreds, and chaos is the norm... a no-nonsense leader with a battleship is precisely what you want. It sure beats the pirates who come to rape and pillage every other Tuesday!

One might hope...!
When writing about the "reboot of the timeline via time travel" rumour that @Es Arcanum mentioned earlier in the main SW thread, I actually proposed that idea as the ideal way to go about it. Not that I believe such a rumour, to be clear, but I believe it would be cool. Since they've introduced time travel anyway... might as well use it for something good.
So my idea was: Ahsoka gets her own series about solving the mystery of where Ezra and Thrawn ended up. Thrawn is building up a new fleet using some kind of alliance he's built up (of Imperials who thought Operation: Burn It All Down was stupid). Meanwhile, latching onto the mystical angle, it's discovered the the World-Between-Worlds is how Palpatine's spirit managed to escape death. Once they figure this out, they have to choose between stopping Thrawn's return... and killing Palpatine for good. They choose the latter. The idea being that the sequel timeline resulted from the choice going the other way. So they now create a new timeline, where Palpatine is permanently gone, the First Order never coalesces, and Thrawn takes over all Imperial forces.
Were they to put me in charge, that's what I'd do. But no way it's happening. If we're lucky, we'll get kind of the same premise with Thrawn, but he'll just be another faction in the established timeline, and we'll already know that come the sequel era, he will have lost. (Which is why I consider altering the timeline to be attractive: it throws the future wide open, and brings back genuine uncertainty about how things will play out.) No matter what, though, Thrawn is bound to be more interesting than the First Order.
