Star Wars: The Force Shall Free Us All

I like this, but I wish they had decided to set it around a thousand years before TPM, instead of 200.

Do you feel its too close to the saga time period?

I personally dont mind it, still has a bit of a connection but is a decent amount of time away from it.

Personally, thousands does seem a bit too far into the "Old" republic era. Even though most of it is basically non-canon these days, it carries with it an expectation that I think they wanted to avoid.

This way they get their new sandbox that they can play in a bit more freely than if it were the Old Republic.

I just think it's a bit too close.

Now that you mention it, a thousand might be too long. Maybe 5-600 years?

That would be better I think. Though, it depends on how they want the Republic's decline to go. If they want a slow, steady decline, 200 years definitely feels rushed, given how long it survived and most of it's issues were internal. But, if they want it to be sudden and swift, 200 years is probably sufficient for that. Would need some sort of triggering incident though, or collection of incidents.

Well in the announcement trailer they say that the story in this time period begins with something called "The Great Disaster" so im assuming something major that rocks the republic and the jedi order to their core rather violently and suddenly. Or sets in motion a series of events that causes the decline of both in a short period of time.

That, confuses me. I thought this High Republic era was supposed to be a Golden Age of sorts.

I´m guessing it is going to start out as this golden age but over the course of it due to certain events such as this ¨great disaster¨ fall into the mess the late galactic republic was.

Well, I always figured we'd see the decline set in, maybe starting as just background stuff before becoming increasingly prominent, but "The Great Disaster" seems like an odd thing start off with, given the sort of stories they seem to want to tell. That being said, there's not too much information out there yet, so maybe it'll all come together as we learn more.

That makes sense. I hope that's the case.

Personally my theory is that the great disaster was basically some kind of Jedi civil war based off the fact we saw mention of Jedi splinter groups on that whiteboard. And also I think a doctrine dispute in the Order would be really interesting.

Just found this group, can I ask a question?


What type of Star Wars RP do you want to see on Nation States?

That's a question better answered in P2TM. Here's a useful link:https://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=362358

Ah, but a golden age can carry the seeds of the later collapse (and almost always do, otherwise it wouldn't end). I'm personally expecting then that it will exist in an era where everything seems to be going fine, but there are little things telling us (the viewers) that it's not.

I would think an actual civil war would be rather extreme. Schisms in the Order are quite promising, but actual conflict on a large scale as such a term would describe, seems out of place for the Order, barring some significant Dark Side influence.

I get what you're saying, and I agree with it. But, my confusion is more from the idea that something called "The Great Disaster," or something like a Jedi Civil War, seem less like signals that the Golden Age is ending, and more like events that would end the Golden Age outright.

God damn separatist droids are shit.

God damn separatist droids are shit.

Which makes sense seeing how Separatists droids are simply meant to be cannon fodder and are likely armed with cheap weapons and are cheaply made.

We will definitely see some lightsaber clashes, i'd just imagine they would be "Dark Jedi" and not sith

Oh yeah the inaccuracy of the shots in the Clone Wars is kinda weird. Like for the droids I get that their not in anyway sharpshooters and probably have really shitty weapons but why are the clones so bad? They trained years for this and are some of the best solders in the galaxy yet they cannot hit shit.

The commando droids and the various versions of super battle droids tend to do really well in the show. No hope for anything else haha

It was, tho i found the designs quite interesting.

[The Huskar Social Union]

Overall i liked the episode but i thought it was a bit weaker than the last one.

Echo was pretty fucking grim not gona lie, that was a bit messed up and i wonder if he will even survive for that long given the state he is in.

oh yea i dig a weird design

[North German Realm]

God damn separatist droids are shit.

Really depends on the droid, doesn't it? The "food soldier" equivalents are indeed shit. They're designed to be mass produced cannon fodder that shoot straight and swarm enemies.
