If it's about the High Republic than I guess it's about diversity. Because.. they wrote it TWICE on the dry erase board .. it's that important. If they wrote "dinosaurs" twice we'd be talking about that. Hell we can talk about anything, because they are literally just throwing crap against the wall to see what sticks.. there's no vision here.. just corporate mongering
Maybe we should actually see what they put out as a finished product before we make sweeping statements about what we believe their intent is.
Too reasonable.
But, your point is well taken. I'm completely and totally ecstatic to explore this era of SW. The Old Republic era (as in the games) never interested me all that much. TOR was the closet that got me interested but just barely. Being in more familiar territory, and hopefully seeing a lot more of the Jedi and Republic life, outside of the Clone Wars, is deeply interesting to me.
If it's all the same, I won't post anymore until we know more. Fair enough.m I just want to say that they can slap the logo on it, doesn't mean I'll like it by default.
Don't think I'm just a Disney hater. I liked the two "story" films and the Mandalorian.

You’re absolutely entitled to your opinion. No one suggested you had to like anything by default. I just prefer a wait and see attitude. I mean, this is a multi-page argument on words on a white board. They don’t mean a lot unless we have context. And we really don’t have that at this point.
this is where you are wrong. The ST isn’t about diversity. It’s been cast diversely. But the story isn’t ABOUT diversity.
You got some hang ups it seems.
It was vital to Poe’s arc. He’s supposed to be one of the three main characters. The movies are about the new characters continuing the legacy of the original trilogy characters. Rey is carrying on Luke’s, Finn is really the Han of the group. He becomes a hero after a sorted past. Poe is the Leia. But it focuses on their development into heroes instead just assigning them those roles. In Poe’s case, his story isn’t about him being a charming pilot. He’s becoming a leader and Leia’s eventual replacement. Leia is basically grooming him to be ready and prepared to take on command because she sees he could do it. Poe is too focused on small gains and not the larger war. He got a whole squadron killed and they lack the people and resources to replace them. Every single death hurts the Resistance and the First Order can afford some causalities. The movie shows him this and the pay off is Poe realizing the Luke was just being a distraction for them to escape and lead the survivors to the back of the cave where Rey who had completed her arc and helped because they wrap up all the arcs in that final battle. Finn’s arc is why the Canto Bight scenes exist, he needs a reason to fight.
It’s a Star Wars movie that tried to explain why characters are the way they are instead of just having them be that way and go on an adventure with no depth or impact on the characters except for growth after some revelation that shocks what they know about themselves.

Really if there is any flaw is that it should have been Leia who made the jump and Holdo should have just been Leia. I can see that they didn’t want to kill Leia in the same movie Leia dies and then later Fisher’s death likely contributed a lot. Her death would’ve been Poe’s version of Luke seeing Obi-Wan die. It also would have more of an impact of Kylo and Luke’s confrontation and be part of why Finn would try to sacrifice himself. The movie could’ve ended with the new main three coming together dealing with the loss of their mentors but fully prepared to carry on their legacy.
so the high republic is something they will publish?
Okay so what is the latest publication?
The Rise of Skywalker novelization...
... which states that Palpatine in that story was a clone..
nice retcon.. nice vision, Lucasfilm.
What were all the life support things for then?
Lucasfilm is an utter mess, working without vision

That's a pretty good idea.
Maybe something goes wrong when you clone a Force user, that's why Snoke looked messed up. He isn't scarred, that a side effect of how he was made. The Emperor's clone body isn't capable of supporting his essence and that's why he's on life support and falling apart.
souunds good to me.
I'd go with that. No joke.
But it's clear that they didn't have a vision when they filmed it. They just thought of doing a hail mary pass.
They were overreacting to the people who didn't get TLJ, so they dumbed it down for them.
Hopefully the High Republic can not do that and try new things, which seems to be the intention.

that is preposterous. There was nothing smart about that film
They're making a Revan Force FX saber, so we'll likely see some products if a particular character is popular enough. This seems like they're attempting something like Shadows of the Empire, but as a whole new saga instead of a mid-sequel without a film. I got the impression they were wanting to do novels, comics, and eventually video games and maybe a TV series set in this period. I think they're just testing the waters with the initial offerings.
I'm sure it could happen. Shadows of the Empire had its own toyline in 1996 and we the first Thrawn action figure as early as 1998. Time will tell, I guess.
