If Eternia is the homeworld of the First Ones, then Adora is only half First One.
Her mum was an astronaut from Earth.

She-Ra and the Princesses of Power

Not a bruh. Legit chick tick-offs.
Good for you.
The producer said that it's a story for young women to feel empowered, so no He-Man.
(Or words to that effect)
In the meantime, there's Noelle's fanfic (is it still fan-fiction if it's your show?) if you haven't gotten round to it already...
Noelle posted fic to AO3? *insert mind-blown emoji here*
That goes a long way to explaining why said site has experienced a flood of She-Ra fic (to which I made my own modest contribution) that's showing little signs of abating any time soon. Also, it's just an exponentially better site than the other main fanfic one. Another big factor would be how generous She-Ra's storytelling was, so much left up to the viewer's interpretation, including Catra's origin's and home culture, for example. It's almost like Noelle and Crew-Ra wanted people to tell their own stories...
On the subject of home cultures, Krypton does feel the closer anology for Adora's narratively, though both are good. Either way, it doesn't require any further exploration of the First Ones or Eternia, unless the characters demand it. This is, after all, one of the most character-driven shows you're ever likely to see.
There's also accompanying fan-art...
I'd seen that, just didn't know it related to a story. Wow. Noelle Stevenson: the gift that just keeps on giving.
It wouldn't take much of a stretch to find valid character based reasons to explore some of that territory. Adora is an orphan after all, and what orphan story is complete without them wanting to know where they came from? The core of Adora's arc has always circled back to her questioning her sense of self; who she is as a person, what that means to her and what it means to those around her.
For the most part that's been about being this hero persona called "She-Ra", but what does that really mean? What is the origin and legacy of that title?
Still plenty of ground to cover, if they have a mind to.
Not wanting He-Man to show up. Would like to see Grayskull, and some of Adora's origin. And hey, how about Glimmer and her dad getting to know each other, and sorting out who is king/queen?

Glimmer was rightfully coronated.
Mika would likely abdicate. Or they would co-rule.
I consider Grayskull to be a plothole. Deserves at least a couple of lines. Would also like to see a visual update.
It‘s noteworthy that they omitted it from her transformation sequences.
And I really would like to see Eternia to show that not all the First One‘s descendants are assholes.
They could hint at Adam and his family as the rulers, but she never meets them or finds out that she belongs to them. Only we would know.
Grayskull already has an explanation; it's the name of Mara's squadron, amd the "For the Honor of Grayskull" phrase is an affectation.
Just finished the series, and Netflix and Dreamworks are 2-for-2 in terms of knocking reboots of classic 80s cartoons completely out of the ballpark.
First there was Voltron, and now there is She-Ra.
Noelle and her team crafted a story that completely honored its source material while simultaneously redefining and refining it for a brand-new generation, and that is an achievement that will live on forever.
Even if certain narrative threads that fans thought were going to play out weren't
addressed, I ultimately don't think the series needed to address them within the context of its overall narrative.
The series also has to be credited for the way it unabashedly and unapologetically owned its diversity and LGBT themes. To paraphrase Noelle, the entire series was "the gay agenda", and it was absolutely glorious, from ending the first season with a literal world-saving rainbow to an almost even split between Het and LGBT character orientations.
She-Ra and the Princesses of Power has found its way onto my list of the best animated series of all time, and we really need more shows like it.

I finally saw this. An excellent season, although there were some character arcs that got short shrift, for instance, Real Hordak spending the whole season staring at that crystal thingy and frowning before actually doing something at the climax. But the character arcs that did get focus were very impressive and nuanced.
I love the new She-Ra henshin sequence -- it's a shame it was only used twice. She strikes this really interesting, dancer-like pose when her costume forms, with her arms spread and her shoulders and head thrown back -- it's very unusual and expressive.
As for the finale... well, that was some kiss. "Did the planet transform for you too?"

A little bit late, but...

They will have to come up with a reason why Adora/She-Ra was left behind on Etheria, and a credible connection to Eternia and her brother, Adam/He-Man.
Or because she had a secret identity like his brother?
As I previously indicated, if the staff of the upcoming He-Man show want to link their show to the Noelle Stevenson She-Ra and say that Adam and Adora were twins separated at birth, that's what they'll have to do.

Tanner = the name of the family from full house = the olsen twins.
If the video of the two-middle aged women I posted complaining about the current show wasn't enough, there's this article, from a wing of the Catholic Church:
