what's up everybody today we're going to talk about the high republic well uh there is a source
that claims that luke skywalker damaged the high republic's launch uh and at the same time
if the source is true you know i'm gonna read a little paragraph here from this article on
princess uh and prince pirates and princesses and it's saying uh just hear me out sources
tell me that lucasfilm story group that has been heavily involved in the development of the high
republic is frustrated for several reasons first the review of luke skywalker the finale of the
mandalorians second season took all the oxygen out of the high republic who cares about the high
republic if they're all wondering what happens with luke skywalker and his new pad one grogu
baby oda worse i am told that they are furious because they weren't informed about luke skywalker
being the season send off surprise the people work on high republic had no idea that favro and filoni
would be driving the fan base into hyper drive just before they launched a new sub property that
is significantly different uh and then later in continuous the really twist the daggering videos
at lucasfilm are angry because not only did pablo hidalgo situation blow up in their faces but then
celebrities began thanking john farveaux daviloni and mark hamill to them this is a betrayal of
captain kennedy who originally put favron filoni for the mandalorian nobody's thanking
catelyn kennedy for the mandalorian or luke and nobody's thanking the story group for anything
okay so if this source is uh correct and the story group that worked in the highway public is really
mad at the success of the mandalorian it really shows that there is a dividing there and not only
that it really shows that these people do not care or understand for star wars they just want to use
star wars as a platform to worry about their own ideologies and i just believe that is the biggest
problem in storytelling people could always relate to luke skywalker because of his uh struggles you
know that was a character that was the face has been the face of star wars for so many years
why would a story group that works for lucasfilm have a problem with that i it just blows my mind
and really shows the problems that we had in the sequels you know jj abrams himself said many times
at least two or three interviews that i i remember reading in which people
ask him about luke skywalker and he said oh every time luke skywalker was in the scene
he would overshadow other characters so we kept writing him off the script
and then comes the mandalorian and really shows lucasfilm this is how it's done this is the way
okay you don't have to tarnish what came before in order to introduce the new we fell madly in
love with baby yoda and at the same time luke skywalker was there being awesome and amazing and
not only that baby although is handed over to luke skywalker walker himself so do i believe that luke
skywalker would overshadow the high republic well if the high republic didn't look so weird perhaps
not the problem with the hybrid qualifications in my opinion even though we have reviews some people
liked it but the majority of people are saying it feels weird it looks weird not only that there are
certain things they're not even respecting the lord of star wars uh for instance there is uh
someone questioned one of the writers about the lightsaber there is a scene in which someone is
using a lightsaber to i don't know cut through a tree but the way that it the way that this was
written just shows that people don't even understand how a lightsaber works it's a
lightsaber it's supposed to cut through things you can't just hang on to it i don't know so
here's the picture of the scene uh however however i must say that when the this specific writer was
addressed about this he owned up for his mistake he said yes that one i'll take on the chin if i
could go back and do that page again i'd suggest she grabs the needle of rock once she's used the
saber to slow her putting my fix it had on you could suggest that she increased the density of
the blades containment field in a similar way to those eu sabers where you could adjust the
length of the blade but i doubt it would take her weight for so long unless of course she
was using the force anyways thanks for getting in touch hope you enjoyed the rest of the issue now
this is a great response for someone that worked in the high republic
because if they acknowledged they messed it up the lore because people understand this thing we've
been seeing and watching lightsabers for how long we understand that it cuts through things
how can you just put it somewhere like it would just slide over completely it doesn't make any
sense so when someone just questions him and he gives a response that is just fair i'll take that
into consideration going forward i mean this is a great way to go perhaps some of them are learning
however on the other hand we also have justina ireland right uh completely saying here that the
she said on a tweet people were talking about someone asked her a question about politics
something like that and she said the problem is if you don't like my politics and my beliefs and my
moral compass you aren't going to like my books so let's just go ahead and save everyone some time so
here we have a a group right that obviously we used to have someone that was polite to the fans
but then on the other hand you have pablo hidalgo making fun of the people that loved luke skywalker
you know they were crying and then you have justina talking about her own politics
however the problem with her tweet in my opinion is the fact that she's not really concerned about
telling a star wars story continue the mythology working about relatable themes or universal themes
that's what star wars was always about there was politics in of course there was politics
but it was not all about politics it was about this these universal themes that
every single person in the world can relate to you know but when you're you're taking all of that out
out of the picture and you just are concerned about nowadays politics and my politics this
is a selfish way for you to write storytelling you know and i think that's why they fail that's
what they made so many many mistakes with the sequels they created so many token characters
because of their own politics that they completely destroyed the storytelling process they store
they destroy the hero's journey they didn't even know how to write their own characters they were
so concerned about all female rules female rules and they completely tarnished rey i mean ray
is not a likeable character in comparison to luke skywalker she's not even that memorable because
they handed things to her they did not give her any struggles and you just make people
angry with characters like this especially when it comes to a a universe that have been
established for so long we understand that jedi had always to to train in order to to
do the stuff that they can do but then comes ray that she's doing all these things without even
being introduced to the force and they don't even know how to explain it not only that they
bring palpatine but it's just one mess after the other and it it really shows us that the people
and if you i don't know if i mentioned in this video but the the story group
involved in the sequels the same people involved in the high republic and go figure why are people
not even why are people more uh excited for the mandalorian than they are for the high
republic i guess that is the promise that these people that are writing these stories
they are not really concerned about writing star wars stories they are concerned about
their own politics and their own stuff that is just ah listen i am just uh it blows my mind
that you know if captain kennedy does not see the difference why do people love the mandalore but
they don't really love the high republic if she can't figure it out there is no hope for these
people you know i mean you look at the mandalorian you have all these strong female characters
and you have you know diversity you have all these things that they wanted to to to put in
the sequel trilogy but it's the difference that in the mandalorian it is written well
you know you look at the female characters and you understand that they are strong because it's
not just given to them there is a transition for them to get there you know all of them are trained
you have a sniper you have someone that is a martial because she's a great fighter
if i don't understand why they can't really figure that out you know
why they don't understand that you don't need to destroy what came before the problem is that
uh at the end of the day i firmly believe that these people they are not really star wars fans
uh they i can't really believe these people are star wars fan if they thought what they did at
the last jedi was okay you know if they really thought oh we're just gonna take a dump on all
these original characters and here are the new characters and people are just accepting i it just
blows my mind and i just wanted to say that even within the high republic's own story group you
can see that some people are being very uh kind of humble towards the fan and even say yes that was
wrong and i'm taking that into consideration which is something that really changed even though the
audience perspective you know like if this is how the creator talks to the fandom yes i should have
i probably would have done this differently it means that they are acknowledging the criticism
they are not just calling whoever said that names which is the problem that pablo hidalgo
fell on you know he was in so many how many times he was on twitter attacking fans and saying nasty
things and then you have justina just oh yes my politics is my important and storytelling
people don't look for entertainment for that that's not the reason why people go and watch
fantasy shows you know star wars is supposed to be something that takes you out of the everyday
struggles it still deals with universal themes you can still address politics like the way
george lucas did but it shouldn't be about that and it shouldn't be about you it should be about
the lore and what works for the universe anyways guys i just think that it's very interesting to
follow all of this uh controversy surrounding the high republic no like i said there are some people
that are enjoying it and that's fine there's some people that not enjoying it that's also fine as
long as people do not have a problem talking about it or expressing their opinions and as long as
people are not being called names when they say we don't like this you know i think when you're
creating entertainment you need to listen to your fans you need to hear the criticism i'm not
talking about the hateful people because hate are going we're going to find hate in all spectrums
okay you're going to have hate uh on people that hate the sequels you're gonna have people
that hate the prequels you're gonna have people that hate star wars in general hate is always
there but that cannot be the excuse for all these people that work at lucasfilm to call the fandom
names and not only that generalize the fandom you know they need to listen to criticism
they need to listen to what people are saying i'm happy that at least one person within the high
republic story group was able to acknowledge that anyways guys that is the end of my video do you
think that the high republic was overshadowed by luke skywalker i mean i just believe that
you can't compare the mandalorian with the hybrid polar because they look very different one really
feels like star wars and not only that one is a tv show the other one is a series of books
uh and uh but i don't know drop a comment down below let me know what you think and if you
