Star Wars: The Force Shall Free Us All

Behold the dreaded doomboard

You missed the bit in A New Hope where Luke finds his burnt aunt and uncle, turns to the camera and says 'it's on them for being civvies in a warzone I guess'.

Behold the dreaded doomboard

The bit on the board that stands out the most to me is the Sith Empire.

By TPM The Sith had been hiding for at least 1,000 years, so how can they be involved with this if no Sith Empire exists?

There's 'relic hunters' on the board, so perhaps they are going to do some sith tomb raiding.

There's also "Rival Houses" on the board and ehhhhhh, bad GOT flashbacks.

I assume its referring to potentially exploring the ruins of the sith empire, as Commonwealth said it also has "Relic Hunters" listed, so some of the stories might involve jedi or others exploring old sith worlds.

Im thinking that might refer to different groups or factions with the jedi themselves, which could tie into the "University" tag. So it could refer to groups of jedi that dedicate themselves to different focuses or something.

Or it might not even relate to the Jedi but possibly something in the Republic or the Nihil

You can't see it in your shot cause it's cut off, but just under "chaos agents" was another point labelled "splinter group force users", so could be some internal Jedi strife, or breakaway factions.

Ah cool, yeah that sounds like it could fit the bill.

[Dylar]

After reading that white board I'm thinking it's either gonna be a interesting show or its gonna be Harry Potter with a Star Wars skin. Mainly because of the rival houses, a university, and the fact that its named High Republic.

A sort of Jedi civil war or some kind of internal conflict sounds really cool TBH. It could be a good explanation for how subservient they became to the Republic.

Since all the Old Republic stuff was moused, we could have it where the Jedi were once allowed to marry and such, but were then reined in by the Republic.

Some good, some bad, i'd say. I guess we should be glad people got upset over "not pro-war" instead of diversity, which is up there twice. Hopefully diversity means more than just "look at all the different types of humans we have!" I want more aliens goddamnit! Give me your aqualish, your rodians, your xenophilic writers yearning to breathe free!

No main character could be good, easier to keep things fresh and gives the writers more freedom. There are opportunities here where could be great, but I don't think it's a bad decision.

They have "scope" right above "myth," so those might be connected. Otherwise, I'm not sure what the point of scope is, since it's not really informative at all. I do hope the myth is more about investigating ancient myths and legends, High Republic seems to close to the Skywalker Saga for an Age of Myth sort of thing.

Surprise being up there is going to be the good kind, like in Episode V, or the bad kind, like in Episode IX. Hopefully the former, naturally.

Dinosaurs and chaos agents though, those, those worry me. I guess chaos agents could make for villains or some sort of mercenary faction, but I really don't see what dinasours offer beyond aesthetics.

Actual ending is promising, I think all the Star Wars trilogies, and many works in general, had issues with not planning the ending beforehand, so hopefully this means they're avoiding that mistake. And also that this isn't going to be an unending series of works. That's a problem the old EU had in general I think, they just could never let the story end.

Rival houses I think will work well, family being an important aspect of Star Wars, so long as they keep the "family of choice" elements common to Star Wars as well.

Between University, Relic Hunters, Mythic and Sith Empire, I get the feeling we're going to be seeing some Indiana Jones meets Star Wars sorts of things. Lots of potential there, and very interesting when you consider that the Luke Skywalker character was, in early drafts, an archaeologist.

I do wonder how they'll handle Yoda though, he would be alive and presumably high in the ranks of the Order at this time.

Also, can anyone tell what's written between Representation/diversity and rival houses on the right hand side? I can't make out that first word.

It says Arthurian, guess we'll see a lightsaber stuck in a rock.

The Dr. Aphra comic had her going/finding some ruins of a Jedi splinter group that had a civil war with the rest of the Jedi Order a few hundred years earlier. Can't remember their name though.

[Impaled Nazarene]

I like the era in mind but their ideas are going to be too mundane and its going to underwhelm.

Arthurian legends eh? I guess I could see something like that working in Star Wars, Jedi Knights galavanting about the Galaxy a la the Knights of the Round, questing and doing good deeds and such, the affair between Lancelot and Guinevere leading to the fall of Camelot also dovetails nicely with the Jedi Order becoming more rigid and less tolerant of romantic ties and such. If that's what they're planning though, seems like something that should happen a few centuries earlier. I feel like it's still too close to the films for the Jedi Order to be so dramatically different.

[The first Galactic Republic]

Liking it all so far.

It does seem oddly close to the movies though. They can’t have open war between Jedi and Sith without invalidating what little TPM had to say about the Sith being extinct.

And 200 years doesn’t feel like that long ago in the grand scheme of things. Lots of things in the new canon, like the ruins of Jedha or Ahch-To, suggest the Jedi to be really old. Figures from this time period would be considered historical sure, but they’d be along the lines of people like Abraham Lincoln or Napoleon. Long since dead, but still part of modern history. The truly ancient period of Star Wars history is still unexplored, I guess.

Yoda, for example, would still be an old geezer here. Just a little more spry than in the prequels.

The EU had the Dawn of the Jedi comic books about the very beginnings of the Jedi Order going on before Dark Horse lost the license to Marvel as part of the Disney purchase. I wish that story had been completed first, because that’s a terribly undeveloped time period.

Apparently the antagonists will be the Nihil, which seem to be "space Vikings." Really pirate would probably be a better descriptor from what I've seen, since they seem more like bands of raiders from various places/cultures, though I'm admittedly basing this off little info. They're supposed to be disorganized and chaotic, so as to contrast with the orderly and rigid Imperials. So, I guess the Sith might be able to influence some of them, but it's unlikely the Sith could do much more than that, given the Nihil seem to lack any real governing force to control. I expect we'll get some dark jedi though, and maybe fallen jedi too.

Yoda does present an issue I think, in that how he and Order are characterized could be problematic if they don't fit the Yoda we're familiar with. Obviously they can show how Yoda became the person we're familiar with, but they need to plan that out early or it's going to be messy,

I'm not sure what how the last bit connects to Harry Potter-lite at all, but the Houses thing is easily explainable as noble politics, not the idiosyncrasy of one particular fantasy series.

Rival houses? Many different characters? University?

Guys. It’s obviously that long coveted Fire Emblem crossover.

No more Fire Emblem in different franchises...Just because Byleth is fun, doesn't mean we want more FE Reps or references in anything....

Funny you should say that cause in the announcement video they say

The description that we've used for the Jedi of this era is that they are the Jedi Knights of the Round Table

I suspect not, but it'd be pretty funny
