Legends. This article is part of Legends: the expanded-universe stories that Lucasfilm set apart from canon in 2014.

The Kumumgah were an ancient species from Outer Rim planet of Tatooine. They developed spaceflight, drawing the attention of the Rakata, who conquered, enslaved, and annexed them to their Infinite Empire in 25,793 BBY.

The Kumumgah eventually rebelled and were punished by the Rakata, who bombed the surface of the once-lush world of Tatooine into little more than fused glass. This glass eventually crumbled and became desert sand. Over time, the Kumumgah would evolve into two species: the Ghorfas, who would become the Tusken Raiders, and the Jawas.
