The amount of people insisting the High Republic replaced the Old Republic really shows they never read these books at all. Hell they still think Geode’s a Jedi.. he’s a ship navigator. Big difference.
"The Acolyte" did a lot wrong, but the books and comics from this era are amazing. And we can actually divorce that show entirely from those events, for which I am thankful.
Don't know much of the High Republic, but this sounds very interesting. Would love to see more media on this area, like cartoons and other live action shows.
As much as I despise most Disney Star Wars, I have to admit that The High Republic is an exception. I've only read a few of the books/comics, but those I did read, I liked. What struck me was how these Jedi are so much more (for lack of a better term) 'human.' They seem so much warmer somehow.
The high republic is amazing! It’s my second favorite era next to the Clone Wars, remember how Palpatin said in ep 2 that the republic has stood for 1,000 years? The high republic is a small window into exploring these years both in canon and legends. Phase 2 even went back another 150 years. ❤️ However I wish we could see more, there is still another 750 unexplored years from this timeline that I would love to see in future stores, like the eradication of the First Blue Shadow virus and how it affected the galaxy, the battles of Rashfond and the pease making of Polion that Professor Huyang mentions during CTWs series, also how Naboo joined the republic over 800 years before the Clone Wars.
I love the high republic my favourite jedi is Orla Jereni, her white lightsaber staff was very unique and her being umbaran is another factor i found fascinating about her.
@@rector0455 no need to get snarky.... My statement clearly rubbed you the wrong way.for some weird reason...take the time to maybe read the high republic novels/ dark horse comics to see how much depth her character has.
Honestly I would love to see more live action or clone wars style animated show set in this era. An interesting aspect could show how the Jedi of this era allowed the padawans to explore their feelings and relationships and by getting knighted choosing to let things be and not continue down that path. Imagine an action romance Jedi movie. It surely would be what raylo wished it could be
What is really good about the High Republic Jedi is that not only do they Shine in their duty to Light and Life above all else but they are anything but infallible. We get to see them face challenges within themselves.
This is indeed High Republic.High Era of Jedi.When they were compassioned,wiser,calmer.Yoda was there too. They defended ALL life! They healed and helped dark sider.Showed them love and compassion. Like Luke with Vader.This is Order of Qui-Gons like yiu said.I like Star Light Beacon too.I completely agree.Jedi are compassionate,wise.But they became dogmatic and reserved.And they were destroyed.Dark side and Sith were moving.They were in the shadows,gaining power and prestige.These are true Jedi.This is always the vision of the Jedi,Guardians of the galaxy.I'm forward to see this Jedi😊May the Force be with you too always😊
Look the books are fantastic and written by some of the best SW literary writers not named Timothy Zahn. Oh and they planned everything out so that criticism can’t be applied here.
I know this will sound cynical, but given the current quality of Disney Canon Star Wars movies and show, I feel like the nuance will be completely lost and they'll just be the same Jedi we always see
@@NeptuneCheeseCake You're right, the lack of interest is. Other than Star Wars explained barely anyone else covers the High Republic, that's how popular it is.
@@aster4jaden or it’s because most Star Wars influencers still weep that Mara Jade isn’t canon anymore. Like children, they cry and moan that their masturbation material now no longer matters.
The acolyte jedi were anything but. Impulsive padawans rushing to kidnap a child so that he can leave, 10 jedia being force pushed by a single sith, supposedly misunderstanding the witches etc. The writing was bad but also it seems the writers forgot to watch this video.
Hey! I wonder how the nameless / Shrii Ka Rai would react in front of a true dark side user? We are told they create fear in their prey…but a dark side user can feed off fear so that may backfire spectacularly? Thanks for the video! 🙂
There’s one scene in Phase I where a Jedi’s anger allows them to break free of a Nameless’ power. So i suspect embracing the Dark Side to some degree will help the Jedi overcome the Nihil’s weapons.
Nothing wrong with rooting for the so-called "bad guys". Besides, when you see all the damage the Jedi's hubris caused the galaxy before Lord Sidious brought them to justice, you would recognize that one's definition of "good" is merely a point of view.
@@YokozunaNumber1 Of course when the sith point of view is strictly rooted in selfish dominance and controlled power over others for their own personal intentions and individual gains. Continue to root for the quote unquote bad guys because everyone who values the sith and vader just wants to be power hungry folks that only care for their own individual gains while being as vulgar as possible doing so. That's what she said!! I understand the sith love is strong with fans because they are easier to personally relate to given how many people just want to be power driven selfish and or vulgar people no matter the consequences or just want to rebel against established powers because it's cool to shun what is collectively seen as mundane and socially mature through natural growth. I like a couple of the sith too as their influence impacted the Star Wars lore we have now. I love the jedi despite the failings of them as a whole that all the Star Wars fans love to point out at any point in time whenever it fits their emotions or topics to point out the jedi failings as to why everyone hates the jedi.
This is the era that our culture desperately needs to see and experience. We're slipping into darkness (yet again) and the high republic era is something to strive for. I've lived both.. the light is much better.
Not even done with the video, and this is adding a lot more to my understanding of Dagan Gera from Jedi Survivor and what he was capable of. And why he wanted a temple on Tanalor, a bastion of the order on the frontier of space. It’s also cool to see some of the architecture match from what’s on Koboh and what’s shown on the video
Also makes more sense now when he tells Cal “you know nothing of the force”, Cal never completed his training sure, but Dagan whips out force abilities I’ve never seen any other Jedi do
I choose to read mostly "Legends" it's the true and real canon timeline for me, give me Legends over all this confusing and messy published High Republic stuff
Luke’s in legends because it is a Jedi order that fixed all of the issues of old Jedi orders. Prioritizing the light side of the force above politic codes. In his order you’re even allowed to love and marry
@@TheStupendousWave Stupendous Wave, I salute you. You seem to never judge anyone, and give you the freedom of opinion to everyone. The force is strong with you. Much respect brother. Much respect.
Hey StuW, I really appreciate this video. As someone who grew up on SWs Novels(Republic Commando & Legacy of the Jedi are my favorites) it’s nice to see someone so steeped in SWs lore be able to appreciate High Republic! (Like I do!) My favorite character is OrbaLin, the living Jelly Jedi who’s contained in a suit!
What i want to know, is what is the Shatterpoint that lets the Jedi become so complacent? I admit i havent followed the High republic, but whats Yoda's position in this time period? If he's the Grand master of the order then how does it go from a beacon of light and duty in the outer rim with all those different lightsaber colours, to an ossified shell with mostly two colours and letting people die for the mission?
Of all eras, why would the show choose this one to push some non star wars theme of “no good or evil, only power”? This sounds like an era when the goodness of the Jedi was the most obvious
@@Wright805 I sure hope you’re right. If that perspective is proved clearly wrong in the end, hooray. I’m not confident that they’ll do that, though, because the sequels failed to decisively disown the philosophy: “Let the past die”
As boring and verbose as the high republic books were, when the Jedi had their moments of light and life they were beautiful. Hope to see some of that on screen
Finally. Seeing the Jedi in a different light. Honestly gets a bit boring seeing them all round the Clone Wars era and post Clone Wars stuff. I would like to see them like this going forward post Skywalker saga personally. This is why I feel the High republic is what the Jedi were like Post Return of the Jedi under Luke in Legends. Hopefully we'll get more crystal colours explained and also more avenues of the Force explored too
Love the old republic because of the sith but i love the high republic as its the era of the Jedi when they were the most powerful and intelligent. It shows what the Jedi should always have been
Not to menchin a lie this era was boring for jedi they didnt think sith were around. So the big D made it all shiny and changed everything about the time.
Just stumbled with this video... I got the impression from one of your recent streams with Theory that you had a bad take on THR after you two mocked the author's board of ideas with him. Dude, please do not let Theory turn you over the Salt Side with this era. Look at the positive comments in this video alone. There are fans of this, and you could make more content on it. I for one, would love to see it.
the 5 eras of the jedi order spanning over +25,000 years, the earliest era of jedi, old republic, the new high republic jedi, the classic(classical) era jedi and luke era of Jedi. The earliest, old and classic ere Jedi and others have been extensively studied and told, yet the High republic Jedi videos are emerging. The jedi should at least put all lives including themselves above any mission; I guess the jedi become abit mislead at the end of the era. In situations Jedi should always cooperate with professionals or elete skill rescue teams of anykind.
Claudia gray didn't do her star wars research well and as a result of that she messed it up and I should also mention she also messed up Leah's story as well that was a bad move Disney did on their part I think they ever realizing their mistake she was cut dropped and that's why the book she wrote are considered purely fanfiction
Thank you for this video. I’ve more or less avoided the high republic novels because there’s no real dark side presence, nothing to challenge the Jedi in the force. I see these heroes in a new light after this and look forward to revisiting some of the high republic novels from a different point of view
I'll give it a shot, but I'm not super hopeful. The issue is that many of the people making Star Wars now focus on subverting narratives and carving out a name for themselves much more than actually making a compelling and enjoyable story. There are some exceptions, like Rogue One and the first couple seasons of the Mandalorian, but they are just that - exceptions. So yeah, I'll give it a shot but it's quite likely I'll stop watching after a few episodes.
I've dropped channels simply because they veered into opinion territory. Opinion is best left out of content creation. That's how we get weak stories and politicized programming.
@@TemperedMedia I agree 100%, be objective and keep opinions out of lore videos. Especially since some ppl, such as myself, love the escapism of star wars lore and enjoy the renaissance era of the high republic. Especially since this era has little impact on previous lore continuity. I'd rather have it that way cuz its a blank slate. I was just wondering on a personal level
This is the Era that WOULD have defeated Palpatine. This is the Gold Standard, ESPECIALLY how it says they take pity on their enemies. Along with being so willing to help everyone
Sounds like they are full of themselves to be honest and this premise seems like what Disney canon version Luke Jedi order could have been after the war of the empire. My only experience with the high republic is Jedi survivors yet that era doesn’t seem all too special to the Jedi we have already and they are dealing with there own issues and doesn’t really impact the Star Wars galaxy. They trying doing the whole no war thing but they forget in the outer rim there can still be planets size war with pirates,Warlords,crime syndicates etc nothing in galactic scale.
If you want to know how powerful HR Jedi are, in their first book, the Jedi coordinate a galaxy-wide effort to prevent ship full of explosives from blowing up a nearby a sun using the Force. It’s kind of incredible.
High Republic is lit af most SW fans clearly haven’t read the dank ass Marvel comics, limited Dark Horse runs, and even the manga are nothing but pure rawness bro. Heat 🔥
Ehh it’s kind of mixed. Like OR stuff takes place so far back that it doesn’t disrupt modern canon. But no one acknowledges them beyond a few passing mentions.
Hey fellas, since I found out on screen rant that the first Jedi prime Jedi founder of the Jedi order was the first skywalker. You can look it up if you don’t believe me also, I’m beginning to wonder. Before the birth of tarre vizla the Skywalker’s and house clan vizla met each other. One of them fell in love, and then year years later. Tarre vizla born from a Skywalker and from a vizla
Am I looking forward to seeing this? No. Disney can not tell a story this subtle or complex. They will fuck it up. There is zero doubt in my mind on this point. Stories of periods where the light is dominant and remains so HAVE to be subtle and nuanced. Modern Disney has proven again and again that if they can not smash it to death with a 30 ton hammer then they can't do it at all. In Star Wars. In Marvel. In it's own movie properties. They don't have what it takes. I wish they did.
@@benwasserman8223 If the Disney Star Wars stories worked in the movies then why did four out of the five Stare Wars movies made by Disney suck so badly? Surely with such source material to work with we would be seeing mind blowingly good stuff from them. Instead of Solo. Rise of. you get the idea. IF Disney could DO this sort of thing they would have been doing it since 2012. Evidence suggests you have gotten the wrong idea. Question. Have you read any of these comics or novels or are you just reporting from reviews? If not perhaps you should look up the relationship between reporting and access. Or, are you perhaps already acquainted with that relationship?
@@selvahechicera4292 Force Awakens was good. Rogue One was good. Last Jedi, despite what people insist didn’t happen, received widespread acclaim from critics. Solo was meh but apparently it has some fans for Qi’ra-related reasons. Only bad one is Rise of Skywalker. Also your issue is twofold 1. Star Wars book authors are not the screenwriters, even if they operate in the same universe. And 2. These guys quote stuff from the prequel and sequel era in their stories. So you’re probably just mad good stories can be told in the Disney era. Oh and I’ve read 90% of High Republic books. Comics and audio drama included. Hell I’ve even watched that Young Jedi Adventures cartoon- so yes, I’m an expert here.
@@benwasserman8223 Your perception of reviews is delusional. Plan 9 from outer space had higher reviews than the last Jedi. The Force awakens did better than plan 9 but it almost culdn't help it given the hype and the fact it was the first of the sequel trilogy. The name Star Wars alone would have gotten it that pre Disney era. And it didn't exactly won by much. Neither did Rogue One which was the best of the Disney 5. You liked Solo did you? I know where you can get a CAT scan. And, as far as the screen writers not writing the books, Duh. That was not MY argument WAS it?
@@selvahechicera4292 Considering how the upcoming Star Wars Outlaws game features Crimson Dawn as a syndicate - thereby establishing the comic run where Qi'ra appeared in the OT era -- I'd say this recognition of the Disney era is still happening. And Rogue One isn't the best of the Disney films - it's first two acts are wildly inconsistent and saved by how good the final battle turned out. Ironically, that's the film that featured the most drastic rewrites, story changes and reshoots leading up to its release - funny how fans tend to ignore that aspect. Also Plan 9's RT critics score is 66%. The Last Jedi's is 91%. Just saying there's a big difference.
It truly WAS a different time then.. apparently every faction was much stronger then its movie series counter parts.. sayings like "don't make them like used too.." must particularly apply when talking bout Force Users.
In my opinion I think the High republic of the era is the beginning of the end when it comes to theJedi order especially when Yoda became the grandmaster because that’s when the dogmatic , narrow minded thinking started to arise. Looking forward to watching the Acolyte when it comes out to 🔥.
Apparently Kathleen Kennedy made sure the director didn’t watch any star wars movies or shows to “attract a new audience”. Can only see this show blowing up in its own face but I’m open to surprises.
Wow it’s amazing how much you butchered that statement. Headland is a massive SW fan and an EU fan and said she added one writer to her writer’s room who hadn’t seen SW. And she did so precisely because she wanted to prevent The Acolyte from being just fan service.
@@benwasserman8223 Exactly, Andor was made by a non fan and look how it ended up. It’s so weird that Star Wars suffers when fans write it but prospers when non fans do it unlike other IP’s.
@@fulcrum6760 I think that's a misconception. There have been great SW shows/cartoons written by fans in the sequel/Mandalorian eras. But when Lucas and his team did the OT, PT and TCW, they were pulling from a variety of historical, cinematic and geopolitical references and throwing a space fantasy twist on them. By comparison, new SW media often seems to be drawing inspiration from Star Wars itself. Which is what fans claimed they wanted, until they realized that limits the scale of ambition on a series. I mean think about it. If Andor were written by fans, Cassian would have met K-2SO by the end of season 1. And most of the stuff involving Luthen and Mon Mothma wouldn't be half as interesting as they turned out.
This just shows how much damage Yoda had caused in the last century of the loathsome jedi's existence . His arrogance , horrible decision making skills , his complacency , his subservience to the Senate and his myopic views caused the destruction of that order.
You mean the acolyte? You mean the era were they do more kongfu than using the force. Honestly the acolyte is just like the high republic era. Very boring story.
I keep getting your stuff recommended and I can't stand it. Just something about the way you title things as though you were talking about real events or real world history just aggravates the shit out of me. In a fictional universe things are the way they are because that's the way the author wanted them - the end. There is no "what if Master Yoda got his green nuts crushed by the sentient force wielding amoeba colony on The Frozen Piss Moon of Testiclese VII.
The amount of people insisting the High Republic replaced the Old Republic really shows they never read these books at all. Hell they still think Geode’s a Jedi.. he’s a ship navigator. Big difference.

High Republic Jedi were able to use the force to manipulate the wind and break their fall. They basically could use the force as a water bucket.
Jedi Survivor shows they can use the force as an extra limb when there’s gets cut off.
More Dawn of the Jedi era content please. That Force Hound video was awesome
Sounds interesting a time where the jedi weren't corrupted and actually protected ppl
What is really good about the High Republic Jedi is that not only do they Shine in their duty to Light and Life above all else but they are anything but infallible. We get to see them face challenges within themselves.

Claudia gray didn't do her star wars research well and as a result of that she messed it up and I should also mention she also messed up Leah's story as well that was a bad move Disney did on their part I think they ever realizing their mistake she was cut dropped and that's why the book she wrote are considered purely fanfiction
Will we see a young Yoda???? 🤔
Thank you for this video. I’ve more or less avoided the high republic novels because there’s no real dark side presence, nothing to challenge the Jedi in the force. I see these heroes in a new light after this and look forward to revisiting some of the high republic novels from a different point of view
I'll give it a shot, but I'm not super hopeful. The issue is that many of the people making Star Wars now focus on subverting narratives and carving out a name for themselves much more than actually making a compelling and enjoyable story. There are some exceptions, like Rogue One and the first couple seasons of the Mandalorian, but they are just that - exceptions. So yeah, I'll give it a shot but it's quite likely I'll stop watching after a few episodes.
SW, could u give us ur opinion on the bigh republic & the acolyte??
I've dropped channels simply because they veered into opinion territory. Opinion is best left out of content creation. That's how we get weak stories and politicized programming.
@@TemperedMedia I agree 100%, be objective and keep opinions out of lore videos. Especially since some ppl, such as myself, love the escapism of star wars lore and enjoy the renaissance era of the high republic. Especially since this era has little impact on previous lore continuity. I'd rather have it that way cuz its a blank slate. I was just wondering on a personal level
@@kevinvassago I don't want to know what people's opinions are, personally. The world has too many of them as it is.
@@TemperedMediaas it’s supposed to be🫳🎤
This is the Era that WOULD have defeated Palpatine. This is the Gold Standard, ESPECIALLY how it says they take pity on their enemies. Along with being so willing to help everyone
No, this is the pansexual rock standard (aka.. rock bottom).
@@darthsilversith667you really don’t like Geode lol, he’s only a side character in a YA and main novel, you’ll live.
@@frostyfrenchtoastlolllll RIGHT?!?! Everyone complains about geode but he’s barely in the High Republic
Sounds like they are full of themselves to be honest and this premise seems like what Disney canon version Luke Jedi order could have been after the war of the empire. My only experience with the high republic is Jedi survivors yet that era doesn’t seem all too special to the Jedi we have already and they are dealing with there own issues and doesn’t really impact the Star Wars galaxy. They trying doing the whole no war thing but they forget in the outer rim there can still be planets size war with pirates,Warlords,crime syndicates etc nothing in galactic scale.
Yeah probably used Mack chargers and plugs yeah.
If you want to know how powerful HR Jedi are, in their first book, the Jedi coordinate a galaxy-wide effort to prevent ship full of explosives from blowing up a nearby a sun using the Force. It’s kind of incredible.
Disney will jack this up too
Everything you just described the High Republic Jedi as, Disney is against. I'm so sad these shows will end with nonsense.
High Republic is lit af most SW fans clearly haven’t read the dank ass Marvel comics, limited Dark Horse runs, and even the manga are nothing but pure rawness bro. Heat 🔥
Remember guys the high republic is all canon the new timeline the old republic is legends
Ehh it’s kind of mixed. Like OR stuff takes place so far back that it doesn’t disrupt modern canon. But no one acknowledges them beyond a few passing mentions.
I prefer the Old Republic Jedi, but the High Republic books are excellent.
Hey fellas, since I found out on screen rant that the first Jedi prime Jedi founder of the Jedi order was the first skywalker. You can look it up if you don’t believe me also, I’m beginning to wonder. Before the birth of tarre vizla the Skywalker’s and house clan vizla met each other. One of them fell in love, and then year years later. Tarre vizla born from a Skywalker and from a vizla
Nah bro,that would be one of the worst things to happen,keep current sw characters and families away from the vs ideas of the prime jedi
Screen Rant is not a sw source or perhaps you just simply misinterpreted their words,there’s no official sw source that states what you are saying
@@youuglymessYeah that sounds dumb.
Hello there
god I hate this era
Is the high republic fun? I know nothing about it.
A lot of the Jedi tried to go on the quest to find #TDBank💳 card to enlightenment... 🌎💘💰
Yes the high republic era Jedi where more connected with the full force and they stayed out of senate affairs unlike yodas order
Jedi order in general yes but not Yoda as he was friend the chancellor of this era
high republic is trash
Womp womp
Old republic were the strongest. High republic were the most “enlightened” and led to their downfall
I can get behind that.
Am I looking forward to seeing this? No. Disney can not tell a story this subtle or complex. They will fuck it up. There is zero doubt in my mind on this point. Stories of periods where the light is dominant and remains so HAVE to be subtle and nuanced. Modern Disney has proven again and again that if they can not smash it to death with a 30 ton hammer then they can't do it at all. In Star Wars. In Marvel. In it's own movie properties. They don't have what it takes. I wish they did.
And yet every review for High Republic books and comics have been over the moon ecstatic. So clearly these Disney stories are working
@@benwasserman8223 If the Disney Star Wars stories worked in the movies then why did four out of the five Stare Wars movies made by Disney suck so badly? Surely with such source material to work with we would be seeing mind blowingly good stuff from them. Instead of Solo. Rise of. you get the idea. IF Disney could DO this sort of thing they would have been doing it since 2012. Evidence suggests you have gotten the wrong idea. Question. Have you read any of these comics or novels or are you just reporting from reviews? If not perhaps you should look up the relationship between reporting and access. Or, are you perhaps already acquainted with that relationship?
@@selvahechicera4292 Force Awakens was good. Rogue One was good. Last Jedi, despite what people insist didn’t happen, received widespread acclaim from critics. Solo was meh but apparently it has some fans for Qi’ra-related reasons. Only bad one is Rise of Skywalker.
Also your issue is twofold 1. Star Wars book authors are not the screenwriters, even if they operate in the same universe. And 2. These guys quote stuff from the prequel and sequel era in their stories. So you’re probably just mad good stories can be told in the Disney era.
Oh and I’ve read 90% of High Republic books. Comics and audio drama included. Hell I’ve even watched that Young Jedi Adventures cartoon- so yes, I’m an expert here.
@@benwasserman8223 Your perception of reviews is delusional. Plan 9 from outer space had higher reviews than the last Jedi. The Force awakens did better than plan 9 but it almost culdn't help it given the hype and the fact it was the first of the sequel trilogy. The name Star Wars alone would have gotten it that pre Disney era. And it didn't exactly won by much. Neither did Rogue One which was the best of the Disney 5. You liked Solo did you? I know where you can get a CAT scan.
And, as far as the screen writers not writing the books, Duh. That was not MY argument WAS it?
@@selvahechicera4292 Considering how the upcoming Star Wars Outlaws game features Crimson Dawn as a syndicate - thereby establishing the comic run where Qi'ra appeared in the OT era -- I'd say this recognition of the Disney era is still happening. And Rogue One isn't the best of the Disney films - it's first two acts are wildly inconsistent and saved by how good the final battle turned out. Ironically, that's the film that featured the most drastic rewrites, story changes and reshoots leading up to its release - funny how fans tend to ignore that aspect.
Also Plan 9's RT critics score is 66%. The Last Jedi's is 91%. Just saying there's a big difference.
This was stoopid for them to change this. Go back to the OG stories all there doing is making me hate my childhood.
It truly WAS a different time then.. apparently every faction was much stronger then its movie series counter parts.. sayings like "don't make them like used too.." must particularly apply when talking bout Force Users.
In canon the sorcerers of tund were historically both light side and dark side force users. Canon just added more depth to them
Who is killing jedi?
It's Palpatine. Somehow.
Give the High Republic a chance. You might end up liking it.
That's what they said about the sequel trilogies or any Disney star wars property.
Really cool era but I don’t trust Disney to tell a good story about it. Honestly feel like they might mess it up all together.
In my opinion I think the High republic of the era is the beginning of the end when it comes to theJedi order especially when Yoda became the grandmaster because that’s when the dogmatic , narrow minded thinking started to arise.
Looking forward to watching the Acolyte when it comes out to 🔥.
The best thing for me about the High Republic was the Drengir and they still messed them up.
Apparently Kathleen Kennedy made sure the director didn’t watch any star wars movies or shows to “attract a new audience”. Can only see this show blowing up in its own face but I’m open to surprises.
Andor was made by a non fan.
Wow it’s amazing how much you butchered that statement. Headland is a massive SW fan and an EU fan and said she added one writer to her writer’s room who hadn’t seen SW. And she did so precisely because she wanted to prevent The Acolyte from being just fan service.
@@benwasserman8223 Exactly, Andor was made by a non fan and look how it ended up. It’s so weird that Star Wars suffers when fans write it but prospers when non fans do it unlike other IP’s.
@@fulcrum6760 I think that's a misconception. There have been great SW shows/cartoons written by fans in the sequel/Mandalorian eras. But when Lucas and his team did the OT, PT and TCW, they were pulling from a variety of historical, cinematic and geopolitical references and throwing a space fantasy twist on them. By comparison, new SW media often seems to be drawing inspiration from Star Wars itself. Which is what fans claimed they wanted, until they realized that limits the scale of ambition on a series.
I mean think about it. If Andor were written by fans, Cassian would have met K-2SO by the end of season 1. And most of the stuff involving Luthen and Mon Mothma wouldn't be half as interesting as they turned out.
@@benwasserman8223 Yeah I know but there’s also stuff like KOTOR which was written by a non fan too.
The high republic no one asked for we want the old republic
The High Republic books are amazing though. Did you give then a fair shot?
Then why watch?
Then play KoToR and shut up
Both are awesome in their own way.
Why bitch about it? The high Republic era jedi are just as good as good as the old republic era jedi simple as
I don' t care about anything thats related to Disney Star Wars, this High Republic is a woke trash.
This just shows how much damage Yoda had caused in the last century of the loathsome jedi's existence .
His arrogance , horrible decision making skills , his complacency , his subservience to the Senate and his myopic views caused the destruction of that order.
NNNNNNOOOOOOO
I hate sand
You mean the acolyte? You mean the era were they do more kongfu than using the force.
Honestly the acolyte is just like the high republic era. Very boring story.
Your so right I'm glad uve seen the whole series.
I just can't get into the high republic at all
Yeahhh and yet all we got was shit 💩 😂
Hello there @TheStupendousWave
🩶
Why the High Republic Era is way more lame and ghey than you think...
Nice cathleen cennedy south park reference
I keep getting your stuff recommended and I can't stand it.
Just something about the way you title things as though you were talking about real events or real world history just aggravates the shit out of me.
In a fictional universe things are the way they are because that's the way the author wanted them - the end.
There is no "what if Master Yoda got his green nuts crushed by the sentient force wielding amoeba colony on The Frozen Piss Moon of Testiclese VII.
The High Republic Jedi were more powerful because they had Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. 😂🤣
0:02 All I see are ripoffs...
Yoda ripoff.
Tyvokka ripoff.
Windu ripoff.
Kit Fisto ripoff.
The high republic jedi are nothing compared to old republic jedi
