it's really good and there's a ton of fight scenes with wild setpieces that I hope they go the gently caress off with in the adaptation

As someone who's at least somewhat above average interested in all this new Star Wars shiz, that is incredibly unexciting.

It's set in the SW past, at a point where the Jedi were at their height and the Sith had pretty much been wiped out.

It's set during the High Republic, which is a few hundred years before the movies, and I believe the series is going to deal with the resurgence of the Sith into the order they became as we know them

The general idea is that the prequels take place when the republic had kinda ossified and the Jedi had (at least before the war) withdrawn themselves and gotten less involved and mostly just sat around in the temple. The High Republic is meant to be when the civilisation is at its best and the Jedi are actively out there doing all the poo poo that made them legendary and helping people, during an age of exploration and discovery. The look of the era is a little less commodified and mass-produced and a little more bespoke and grand-feeling.

lol that they had to go back into the past to find a new setting where Jedi were fun because the sequel trilogy just had them all murdered again.

YOU SAY MY POSTS ARE THE RAVINGS OF THE DUMBEST PERSON ON GOD'S GREEN EARTH BUT YOU YOURSELF ARE READING THEM. CURIOUS!
Knights of the old republic (the comic) is pretty fun. It’s also set in an era where there are a lot of Jedi running around and follows a dude who is rear end at the force and is falsely accused of murdering his friends. So he becomes a conman

They should make that a show

Uh, do we know anything about the sith? The movies had like 5 total, two of which die almost as soon as they're introduced. Without diving too deep into extended lore, I don't know anything about a Sith order the way we see a Jedi order. I don't even know if the Jedi genocided them all or what.

"Jesus, did I say that? Or just think it? Was I talking? Did they hear me?"
The Sith, in the olden times of the Republic, were rogue Jedi who broke off in a great schism from the Jedi (after deciding that the Light side was weak and the dark nature of the Force was the key to salvation), and they set up shop with their own Sith Order on the planet Korriban.

Eventually, 99.9% of them were killed through generations of wars waged unsuccessfully against the Jedi and the Old Republic.

They were reformed by Darth Bane, a survivor of the Sith wars, who instituted the Rule of Two (only two Sith could exist at any time; a master and apprentice). This was how the Sith operated in the shadows for a millenium, all the way up to Vader and Palpatine.

Order 66 was the endgame of the millenium-long vengeance plan against the Jedi.

Pretty much the only thing we can get from the films is the strong implication that they ruled openly rather than from behind the scenes.
