Star Wars - The High Republic

Anything to look forward to here? Will this be some actual good Marvel Star Wars? Or just bullshit that doesn't matter?

>Will this be some actual good Marvel Star Wars?
HAHAHAHA holy shit you're for real, i got some magic cum for you to drink, you will become a super jedi.

why dont they have shields made of lightsabers to deflect lightsabers?

Well maybe since the initial story group was a clusterfuck and they brought in actual writers to clean it up.

Soule's Darth Vader was pretty good so it's a hard maybe

There's been a handful of solid series so far. Not a majority, but still some good stuff

I'll give it a fair try, but I'm not holding my breath or anything.

How retarded would you have to be to look forward to anything Star Wars?

It doesn't matter what time period your fictional universe takes place in, Hollywood/Disney/Marvel will find a way to thread current year identity politics into it. Sidecuts, mansplaining, lesbians, and more besides. Never ask "will it be good?" Instead just ask "how bad will it be?"

No

You know all the good will star wars got due to Mandalorian and the last few episodes if TCW? This whole thing is going to piss all over that.

>implying mandalorian fans read books and comics
No one actually cares about the EU shit

Nothing matters anymore now that SW has been killed. Let it go and move on.

>now that SW has been killed
People have been saying that pretty much every year since 1983.

well I mean some posters on here

no, peopke said they hated it or that it is dead to them but not that the franchise has become worthless. Except for the period of like 1984-1995 when the kenner line came out it was totally dead. But since then just those fags who wore these shirts just shit on it

>alot of words that only say "I wasn't alive for the prequel hate"
Got it. Carry on.

What are you people fucking talking about the Thrawn trilogy started in 91 and is almost universally agreed to be the best material we have gotten from Star Wars besides Empire.

>Let it go and move on
Is that why you show up in every thread to say the same shit? Because you moved on?

when do the comics start?
next january?
i mean i'll read it cause soule but i'm not expecting much
i can always just go play kotor2

You're only reinforcing my point. A lot of people (aka most) didn't care about Star Wars anymore at that point, because the movies were done. Yet despite what they thought, there was still good stuff coming out.

Just like when people said the Special Editions killed Star Wars.
And the Phantom Menace Killed Star Wars.
And Attack of the Clones killed Star Wars.
And Revenge of the Sith killed Star Wars.
And the Clone Wars killed Star Wars.
And the canon reset killed Star Wars.
And Rebels killed Star Wars.
And the Force Awakens killed Star Wars.
And the Last Jedi killed Star Wars.
And the Rise of Skywalker killed Star Wars.

And all along, there were still good books, comics, or games being put out.

Star Wars has been "killed" like a dozen times at this point, yet it keeps coming back and putting out stories. Whether or not you like them is up for debate, but if SW has proved anything, it's that it can't be killed.

What are the best star wars comics so far?

Only them being forced to mention the wars between the Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire, long before the time of the High Republic. Long enough ago the galaxy as a whole forgot the Chiss Ascendancy even existed.

Bless you, Timothy Zahn, you magnificent paragon.

>Timothy Zahn, you magnificent paragon
I haven't finished Chaos Rising yet, but I'm starting to doubt Zahn's prowess after Alliances and Treason were both shit.

So far Ascendancy seems to be better at least.

Chaos Rising elevates Alliances. Treason, I think, makes a lot more sense now but still remains to be fully realized. My faith is secure.

>Star Wars has been "killed" like a dozen times at this point,

Never like this. Even in the PT days for as bad as it was you could still sell toys. SW Merchandise is in the the shitter in ways previously thought impossible.

I’m 35 years old, my point was that the prequel hate was people saying “dead
to me” now everyone is saying “the franchise is dead and no kids think it is cool anymore.”

Thrawn trilogy excited nerds, it wasn’t really back until 95 and then took off again in 97 when the special editions came out so that the franchise was extremely hot when Episode 1 came out.

I forgot this was even a thing.

I really wish they went further back in time, though. 200 years before Episode 1 means there's going to be a ton of the writers jacking themselves off to references/ties/lead-ins to the PT/OT. I'd rather they just went 1000 years ago, and write shit that has no real direct connections to the movies.

Isn't ALL merch down, though? Kids just don't buy toys in the same way they did in the 90s.

So basically you're seeing the ST the same way 35 year olds saw the PT back then.
If you don't think people called Star Wars dead in 1999, you're a fucking idiot.

So far, outside Yoda, it doesn't seem like they're doing much for references. There's some ties to Sana Starros, but I feel like I'm more okay with tying to a book/comic-only character than to film characters.

>Isn't ALL merch down, though?

No. Hasbro reported Marvel doing well while Star Wars wasn't. This was prior to Mandalorian though.

It's funny how people always bring up toys as the end all proof that SW is dead. Mando was one of the biggest shows of the year, all three sequel movies have been huge money makers, and there's still new shows being made.

Sure, it's not as big as Marvel, and it might not be the king it once was. But it's far from dead.

People have constantly reported about the ST (and Rogue One and Solo) merchandise doing badly. Mandalorian and Clone Wars stuff is doing well so far, though.
