"Space Vikings out of nowhere" sounds like a slight variation of everything I've called the worst idea in Star Wars history.

It reminded me straight away of Mr Plinkett suggesting that the clones of the Clone Wars should have been an invading force of evil monsters from Outside

The Great Disaster is going to be lightspeed ramming and its going to have some stupid taboo about it and someone will offhandedly mention how no one will ever do this in a star war again because we can't have anything left even slightly underexplained

I think that may be a riff on something from the Old Republic MMO.

The whole things sounds like it resembles but is legally distinct from the Bioware stuff.

Last year there were rumors that The got guys were working on a kotor style series. The term high republic actually came from those rumors. I’m wondering if after they left and the movies got cancelled this is just salvaging the work that already went into developing that time period.

Weren’t they supposed to get the Game of Thrones people to do Star Wars stuff at some point but it fell through? This is probably the leftovers from that.

Nah, it's gonna be Harry Potter.

House Palpatine is the evil house.
House Kenobi is the party house.

I can't wait to entertain you.
The High Republic is its own thing. The foundation for the current iteration started building in 2018, though it sounds like this is something publishing wanted to do for awhile but had to wait until the ST wrapped up. This is the publishing arm kind of getting themselves out there and staking a claim to some content. They had been left to mainly just tie in to a lot of existing content since the EU was scuttled. This is them being able to branch out finally now.

If the time period and characters prove popular, then Lucasfilm will invest in cartoons, shows or movies.

What they're doing is basically what they should have done from the beginning. Take a few years to map out what the post-RotJ time period will be like, get some creators/directors on board to plan out where they want things to go, then take it from there. Instead they tried to do it backwards, with middling success.

It was kind of them to give pablo his own walled-off canon playground, it definitely makes his willingness to grit his teeth through the ST era being JJed make more sense. That said, the thought of the disney wars movie crew caring about anything established in a book makes me laugh on my rear end

That'd be the Jedi Academy comics, which have a bit of a "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" vibe to them and ran for nine volumes

I hope new star wars books go deep on the lore of the kidnap kids who werent useful enough to the Jedi to wage war so they got washed out to farming communes and we get an academy award winning performance from somebody when they adapt the book a few years later.
