Do my eyes and ears deceive me??? A Star Wars channel talking positively about the high republic, where the video isn’t review bombed AND where the comment section is wholesome and not filled with hate. What a breath of fresh air.
@@ianscultgaming3601 Because of so many people hating Star Wars, I dropped the content because of constant comment attacks. It’s sad because I really wanted to be a Star Wars RU-vidr.
She’s workin on a secret project. Probably either adult novel #3 or a game script, or even possibly advising on Acolyte or the rumored animated show. trust me she is not being wasted!!!
Here comes Yellowflash already saying Wave 2 is a failure, and of course once again comparing a Book series to TV/Movies when the books are less popular in general.
Give it like three years and all those who won't give it a chance will swear that it's the greatest Star Wars thing ever and that they've been supporting it since day one.
I’m not really that interested in it but I would blame that more on the crappy introduction books that they had. Obviously not all the comics and novels are terrible but first impressions are everything, that’s why so many people won’t give clone wars a chance. Also many fans would prefer the old republic rather than the high republic. The only high republic era content I’m interested in is Acolyte mainly because it’s a Sith revolving show and could possibly have a young plagueis and even young Palpatine.
@@everythingdibs344 how was the introduction crappy? I read/watched countless Light of the Jedi reviews and pretty much every single one of them was positive. Look for yourself on youtube.
@@apomtaylor8054 in my experience most reviews said that it wasn’t anything special and many hated it because they killed off so many good characters right away. I’ve read certain parts of it and thought it was alright but nothing compared to the original expanded universe
The 'threat to the Force itself', the thing that 'scares the Jedi' (cough! The Nameless. Cough!), this is where it is all heading. This was conceived before the Acolyte, separately to it, and is taking place chronologically several hundred years earlier (to the other commenter)
@Lungorthin Have you read them? Because they've genuinely been fantastic so far. There's a reason that they're outselling almost every Legends book ever released, in spite of the blind hatred of a toxic portion of the fanbase.a They aren't there OLD Republic, sadly, but as the next best thing these are very much the books many of us have been looking for, for quite some time.
@@everythingdibs344 Me to Disney: "You don't want to sell these books to bookstores and make them non-refundable in order to raise your sales numbers!"👋🏻
Can't wait for more HR content! I accidentally read through all the books and comics now I'm waiting until June for more books. Loving your HR videos keep it coming 👍😊
That kind of makes me sad. The next set of books is on the horizon and I am still waiting for into the dark and test of courage to come to Audible in Germany. We only get the english version anyway.. Hope to catch up soon!
Wenn du nicht warten magst kann ich dir nur ans Herz legen, die Bücher auf Englisch zu lesen. Hab ich so gemacht. Light of the Jedi liest sich absolut problemlos, habe glaube ich ein einziges mal ein Wort nachschlagen müssen. Aktuell lese ich Into the Dark, und auch damit habe ich keine Schwierigkeiten. Wenn du regelmäßig RU-vid Videos auf Englisch schaust, dann kriegst du es auch locker hin die Bücher auf Englisch zu lesen :)
I dont like that so much of the galaxy was unexplored and being colonised only 200 years before phantom menace. In that movie, it feels like the galaxy, or at least the republic, its size and its place in it, has been the same or stagnant for longer then that. 500 years at least, if not a 1000 years or more. Otherwise, looks good.
Between The Old Republic games and Darth Bane trilogy after Darth Ruin shizm Sith controled outer rim for 1000 years and ruining many planet with constant Wars between hundreds of siths empires and republic this is why Galaxy outer rim was unexplored during galactic republic/empire era in legends
Here's hoping Tempest Runner gets a physical release like Dooku: Jedi Lost and the Aphra audio drama. Maybe a collection of the SW Insider short stories too
I’m just thinking out loud here, I haven’t really become hooked by the story yet, maybe because it’s about events and not character driven. None of the characters has a personal storyline that matters, Is that it? When compared to the Mandalorian for example, you get a lot of personal moments with Mando and Grogu that involves questions about say identity as an outsider, family connection versus no attachments, there are high emotional stakes and character development. Has anyone here a character in high Republic that they feel engaged about? I am happy to be corrected.
I feel really invested in Cohmac and Orla, tbh, as well as seeing what happens with Elzar and Avar's relationship! but with such a big cast it's definitely a bit harder to get invested at the beginning, I guess
Light of the Jedi definitely has a less personal feel, though I think from here on out we’ll have more character driven stories. A Test of Courage is actually a lot more intimate.
@@magykfyre4114 Cohmac and orla are new to me since I’m not even halfway through their book, ok I will definitely see what’s going on there, with their past bad event n all.
First you should read Light of the Jedi, then A Test of Courage, the first issue of the marvel comic, then The High Republic Adventures comic, Into the Dark, and finally the rest of marvel comic so far. This just covers the basic wide release stuff though. There’s also short stories in the Star Wars Insider magazine and other more obscure things you can look into on your own. Those are the five core things so far though.
I hope the books about the Republic Fair acknowledge the colonial legacy of World’s Fairs, especially given the similarities with the Republic’s expansion. I’d be surprised if they didn’t.
As long as the Nihil are actually shown as a threat instead of stupid bikers yelling "rIdE tHe StOrM!!!" then I'll be okay. I couldn't stand them in the first wave. The Drengir are an actual threat
@@davidpeterson5640 I honestly see it more as a simplified way to show how everyone has a different idea about how the force works. I do understand how it may bother some but I do kinda like that idea.
@@joemullarkey5719, I appreciate your opinion. I feel it more lazy writing. What the force was had been established early. Over the years and terrible Hollywood writing, it has become kind of comical. Now with the force uou can heal, travel through time, move you Consciousness into others, raise the dead and float through space and survive. The healing I can buy. But, now it’s too much. Changing the force fixes uninspired writting.
SOMEONE!....Sell me on why I should get into this series. Spoilers all, please stop being so polite. Just tell me why this series is worth my time and money.
A meticulously planned and coordinated, big Star Wars story involving some of the best star wars authors to date, such as Claudia Gray. Kind of like ROTS and the finale season of the clone wars, you get many perspectives on the same galactic events. Introduces a LOT of cool new Jedi characters and the tone of the galaxy feels very different to what we see in other eras. The villains are also super different to the Sith/Empire/First Order but still feel threatening
@@slyfer60 a widespread story that right now is showcasing the Jedi at the top of their game, focusing on preserving life and the light over all else but will most likely show their eventual fall from grace and why the Jedi of the prequels were flawed. You get all sorts of characters with a nice spread of story for any age group, made by a team with three of the best Star Wars writers of all time, Charles Soule, Cavan Scott, and Claudia Gray.
I think it is worth the time, it’s a time period unexplored and full of story potential, the first few books have been amazing light if the Jedi is already one of my favorite books and the thread from what they are during the high republic to where they are in episode 1 is interesting and something I think will be explored, over all if you like Star Wars and want to see the Jedi in a different period of there existence you should check this out
From what I’ve heard the first two books topped the NYT bestseller charts and the first issue of the comic sold 200k copies, compared to the average 70k copies an average Star Wars comic issue sells.
@@totallyanonymousbish9599 The High Republic is already more successful than most EU book. It’s nowhere near failed and all people who actually read it like it
@@joemullarkey5719 and an editorial that doesn't claim to be objective. I can't recall names but there was this author that initiated a lawsuit against the NYT for not featuring his book in the list, which lead to the NYT admitting they don't claim to be objective, but can in fact put (or don't put) anything on the list they wish. There was a video about it somewhere here on RU-vid. If I can find it I'll link it in an edit. And then there was this whole bookstore controversy of course.
I’m not watching your video. I’m downvoting your video. I’m here because the wookiepedia keeps overlaying your ads and doesn’t even link to the relevant video.
