They have Javik's DNA, DNA from protheans on Illos, and awakened Collectors that could help them rebuild. They did it with Kakliosaurs and Shepard

If t'soni is in the next game, it would be good to have a clone of Javik in the game to constantly talk smack to the asari like he did on Thessia.

She'll clone Javik and imprint it with the mind she tentacled from Shepard.

Would be cool if they did like one or two, but anymore than that and they'd start enslaving other species again.

A clone doesn't get the same mind or memories of the person they're cloned from. While their bodies are Prothean, they wouldn't have the same mindset since they would grow up with our cycle's culture instead of theirs. And even if you try to imprint them with the old mindset, they could just refuse it like Grunt did.

All they'd have to do is pickup Javik's soldier log thing, and instantly the cloned prothean would be aware of their history. Not to mention that if they physically touch literally anything in any room and learn more about it than any of the other races, save maybe the Leviathan. Grunt had a predisposition towards violence, just like most krogan. And let's not forget about the naturally hostile behavior of the yahg. I imagine protheans have a similar desire to dominate others. If all else I could see a new shadow broker like figure being prothean.

Lol the Protheans if resurrected won't be anywhere near as advanced as they were before their cycle. In fact they'd be at the bottom tier of the Citadel races, let alone enslave other species. They'd have to rely on others for their aid and wouldn't try anything that would damage their reputation.

They'd be able to build a shadow broker rivaling network in a day.

I imagine protheans have a similar desire to dominate others. If all else I could see a new shadow broker like figure being prothean. Eh, even Javik thinks that if their cycle was different he would be more like what Liara envisioned the Protheans as. The Protheans became that way according to him by necessity, not because they felt like it. Then in London, he comments about how this cycle proved him wrong about working together and that he looks forward to seeing what peace looks like. That or he plans to go where his squad dies and kill himself to join them, so any clone Prothean wouldn't be able to find him and read him anyway.

What would be the point? The clones won't be able to build a population without resulting to clone incest (that's if you are able to create female protheans from that DNA).

We have countless dead Protheans in pods we can clone. There is no shortage of DNA samples, including female ones, to choose from.

DNA decays during ones lifespan, so after 50,000 years, that DNA would be corrupted.

DNA decays during ones lifespan, so after 50,000 years, that DNA would be corrupted. Not beyond use of cloning. Scientists have discovered that in ideal conditions, DNA is no longer readable after around 1.5 million years. The Protheans are far younger than that. Certainly it wouldn’t all be there, since that same study says DNA has a half life of 521 years, but considering that EDI could determine where a specific Collector’s ancestors originated from its super corrupted DNA then it is certainly possible to accurately fill in the gaps. Especially with DNA from Javik as a comparison.

Javik is a male so unless you are planning on making protheans with both male and female parts, you'd need something that shares a close kinship with the protheans (like humans with chimpanzees).

I feel the same way. The more I think about it, the less I see a possibility for Javik to make a cameo in the next Mass Effect: From what I gather the next ME will be set after the Trilogy and after Andromeda, Andromeda was set 600 years after the Trilogy, The lifespan of Prothean is never explicitly specificied, though by talking with Javik in ME3 we can deduce that they don't live as long the Asari, Now cloning aside, the only way Javik could make it out alive is by hitting a stasis pod again ^^. But it might feel like an overused trope at this point. But hey, I'm confident writers at Bioware could come up with a wild explanation if they really wanted to make Javik come back. ^^ I like Javik. On my first playthrough, I benched him because I was turned off by his dickish banter. But on my next game I finally took the time to listen to him. His sad story echoes Shepard's tale. Though unlike the Commander, Javik didn't succeed and lost his crew. This totally explains his bitterness. And this is quality writing.

I like the idea of Javik being unique and being the last of his kind. Javik's one of the few characters from the OT I'd want back in future games. There's so many great 'last of his people' story threads they could go with him and one game isn't enough for such a great character.
