People keep saying they wish there were more stories that have nothing to do with the Skywalker saga, conveniently ignoring just how many stories there have been set outside that era, albeit in books and comics and the Legends EU. But finally, now we're getting a TV series and a movie (trilogy?) set in those far distant times. It's something that had to be introduced in careful steps (start with the familiar, test the waters, then introduce new elements that can be expanded upon), all they had to do was be patient.

Great video, dude. 👌🏾

A thought (or maybe a question for the next Q&A) - do they have a problem with "evolution of tech", in that there's quite a big difference between High Republic and OT-time in terms of how advanced and spread the Republic is? There's relatively little time in which a lot happens, and yet we get settings thousands of years earlier in which people (I'm guessing) use lightsabers and travel between the stars. It is what never really got me into the High Republic (though I'm going to give it another chance)... it felt very different (too different) despite timewise it really shouldn't, would've understood it better if it was Old Republic and things where that different.

They are trying to make the older eras look more ancient, from what I've heard. A big reason why Legends felt static was that KOTOR was intentionally designed to resemble the Star Wars galaxy from the movies rather than the Tales of the Jedi comics that initially started the era (very sandals-and-toga-esque, with empresses and metal blades etc.) because they were worried no one would recognize it otherwise.

I'm looking forward to seeing the High Republic expand to the live action side of Star Wars and eagerly waiting for us to get into the Old Republic era in Canon. I don't think the MMO has had any bearing on them not doing Canon stories in that era because the game has gotten a lot of content based on the recent shows on Disney+, more likely they just want to wait until they have an idea what their version of the era looks like before going all in, which I wish they would just do. I'm apprehensive about the Dawn of the Jedi movie. I think James Mangold is a great fit for Star Wars, I enjoyed Dial of Destiny but I'm worried putting such a concrete story on the discovery of the Force and the founding of the Jedi like a film would risks taking away the mysticism of the Jedi and the Force which is something I love and don't want to lose but I'm open to being surprised when the film finally is released. Same goes for the New Jedi Order, I'm really looking forward to that. The idea of the antagonistic party doesn't quite land for me, I hope it is something larger and a part of me will always be sad that Luke's Jedi Order failed badly, that feels like it really undercuts him but I am excited to see Rey's take when the film arrives. I also wouldn't call the aldahni heist a "defining event" of the Rebellion era. I refuse to believe that people were more inspired by a backwater heist on a generic planet that could have been done by gangsters for Hutts as far as anyone knew, than a motivational speech heard across the galaxy from Lothal in Rebels. A heist does nothing but prove the Empire could be *robbed*, just because it can be robbed doesn't mean it can be defeated. I refuse to believe that the seeds of Rebellion were sown by something that did NOTHING for the populations crushed under Imperial rule.

In the series Andor the main character makes it a point to describe how easy the empire is to rob and hide from, the empire is founded by underhanded tactics and working with dirty double crossers. I agree that the rally for the rebels was a little poorly written

I do hope that the prime Jedi is a metaphorical figure. I still like to believe that since Tython was shown off in an episode of the Madalorian, Tython was the birth place of the Jeh’Di order which eventually become the Jedi order after the Jedi and Sith split. Eventually the Jedi settled on the Island of Oc’Tou and the Sith on Korriban which would later be renamed Moriban as we see in season 6 of TCW 2008 series. That’s my head canon for now.
