Hm? Curious if anyone knows, there's a few around but is there an overall species which is the greatest in intellect?

Well, among the most common I would think of Chiss, Vurks and Biths, with Biths the first. Not sure about the rarest ones.

Yeah Biths

Any reason to believe Bith are more intelligent than Muuns?

I was thinking Bith, but I'm not sure if there's any other species I'm missing that might have greater intellect.

Muuns, quite.

Muuns struck me as more mathematicians, focused on one thing, which is great, but I'm talking an overall greater intellect.

Which reflects a more capable brain. But are we talking their biological ability or the intellectual standing of their culture?

Just a general overall intellect....so the latter I suppose. Though Bith have some pretty giant brains themselves and could do things from mathematics to science stuff.

Humans are probably the top then, other species like Bith and Muun might have more computational power, but humans overall have consistently produced the greatest and most successful minds, and it's one of the reasons they are most dominant species in the galaxy.

Other than that I'd say some of the ancient species like Gree and particularly the Rakata, also the Hutts.

Beni! How dare you imply other races are inferior!!!

Givin perhaps.

Celestials aside, easily the Gree or Kwa.

You forgot the Columi. Those guys were geniuses!

Who is generally regarded as the most intelligent race or species in the galaxy?

Kaminoans likely

You think they are all around some of the smartest?

Bith and Cerean are the only ones I can think of off the top of my head.

I don't know if Munns were especially intelligent. There should be a list on YouTube somewhere, a lot of names are slipping me.

Muuns are said to be great businessmen.

Well, it did not turn out so well for Hego.

Well, it did not turn out so well for Hego. Muuns are very smart, but they are mostly just scheming bankers in new canon.

Could these be meshed?

Sure.

I'll do it now.

Are the Chiss still some of the smartest in new canon?

Humans.

But even if your 'average' Chiss is remotely close to Thrawn's level, then they'd be at/near the top.

Yeah also humans^ there is a reason if they are the most powerful species in the galaxy

No other chiss has come to the forefront like Thrawn has. He impacted the Galaxy more than any of the rest of them. I'd say outlier is a safe bet.

I don't remember much about the Chiss species in Legends(outside of Thrawn), but in canon he still seems to be a notch or two above the others. Even Admiral Ar'alani, who Thrawn himself considers to be a master strategist/tactician, is still definitely below him in that respect.

I'd also note that Thrawn's intelligence isn't just limited to battle tactics and whatnot -- it's just what he's the most known for. He has also shown an unreal aptitude towards science and technology.
