Reply To: Star Wars: The High Republic

I wonder if they named it ‘High Republic’ because calling it ‘Old Republic’ would cause too many akward questions about what happened to the EU that was declared ‘obsolete’ by Disney.

I bet 90% of these ‘new’ ideas were already in the expanded universe lore too.
The only thing the EU didn’t have was a political agenda of ‘enforced diversity’ where the heroes are either Mary Sues or suspiciously perfectly balanced teams of women, aliens and jedi.

Both Lucas and Disney have proven that they can not tell a good story within the Star Wars universe.
As such them asking ‘new’ writers for ideas is good, but the kind of brainstorming that the video showed makes me fear the worst.

So much potential for greatness … all ignored in an effort to please ‘everyone’ who ‘demands’ more ‘diversity’ to spread a political messaget that no one really wants to hear.

Never mind the rather ironic “anti war” premise for a setting that is destined to explode in a gigantic civil war.
