[Star Wars] Were there massive intelligence differences between the sapient races in Star Wars?

Is there some natural cap on intelligence in the Star Wars universe preventing some aliens [droids excluded] from being super geniuses that can think circles around others?  Do the super-intelligent ones just stay in academia and avoid politics and that's why we don't see them?  Are all of the aliens *really* in the same, narrow intelligence band, or are there really huge differences in intelligence that simply never come up?  I'd *assume* humans must be near the top if there is one, just judging by their dominance in politics and well, everywhere.  But I never really get the feeling that there are some species that just can't compete intellectually, in the same sense that a child can't against an adult.

Certain species do have a higher capable intelligence than others. This is usually offset by physical limitations or artificial enhancements. In limited fashion many aliens like the Duros will find gainful employment as data analysts and such but usually xenophobia and other issues keep them from expanding further. A lot of naturally gifted races can be matched or even surpassed by droid brains or cyborg enhancements making it a moot issue in developed areas of the galaxy. And on the opposite side theres aliens with extremely low intelligence that still flourish in the galaxy. Being intelligent or unintelligent doesn't matter too much in star wars. Machines can match natural intelligence and physical abilities can make up for a lack of it. Humans are considered to be average with races like the duros and bothans at the more intelligent end and species like Gamorans and Geonosians at the lower end. In general it's safe to remember a computer can outthink you and a blaster bolt doesn't care how smart you are.
