Not the Old Republic

Will take place roughly 500 years before Phantom Menace

There's a multimedia series coming later this year that is called "Project Luminous" that is believed to be tied in to this particular era

The movies are not in production rn. Way too early for that. This is apparently the direction some of the higher ups and the story group wanna take things going forward though. Not just with the films, but as I mentioned, with comics, books, and games too.

Which I kinda like tbh, even in Legends this stretch of time never got any attention.

Really wish they would just keep the EU going separately.

Makes me sad that a number of writers never got to actually end their stories.

And if both continuities get to continue (with the older staff coming back for EU) everybody wins.

I want something on a smaller scale. No more planet destroying superweapons or a rebel force vs an empire.

At this point just do a complete reboot and start at the beginning.

Eh if it was the old Legends EU I really don't see what else they could've done with it creatively.

I feel at this point they should just let Patton Oswalt make his Star Wars double feature and be done with the series.

tbh probably why they're going with this series

no major conflicts ("there hasn't been a full scale war since the formation of the republic"), no Sith ("the sith have been extinct for a millennia"), no Empire

a chance for a new take

They were still writing stuff, and there were plenty of undone time periods, I don't exactly think there was much stopping them from going.

What EU storylines were still ongoing when it was rebranded as Legends? I thought most of them were pretty much finished by that point. Maybe a couple comics that I'm not remembering.

IIRC Crucible was supposed to lead into a new series of books. Sword of the Jedi would've been a series focusing on Jaina Solo and Jagged Fel

And there would've been a trilogy focusing on the main trio

Legacy was more of less wrapped up by the rebranding

IIRC there's still Old Republic

But apart from that there wasn't a whole lot going on. Even before the Disney purchase there were rumblings of an EU reboot on the horizon.

Also rumors are the next animated series is coming by the end of the year.

Rumblings are that it's a sequel of sorts to Rebels and is taking place between 6 and 7

It is majorly disappointing for Disney if you mean that seriously.

This would be like Endgame making $800 million after Infinity War made $2 billion.

No logical reason why a series went downhill with box office that fast.

The toys with the new Star Wars films have been massively unsuccessful.

Hasbro even pulled back on their deal because of it.

Because someone keeps making movies that are garbage. I'd rather they take the route of Star Trek, and just make tv shows. More time to develop story, shorter episodes, and I'm assuming far less cost. The Mandalorian shows that it can be a very profitable project.

As long as they use the John Williams theme in the intro, they will be well worth price of admission.

That like one minute has been a biyearly highlight since 2015.

And this is why they'll continue to churn out poor movies and the brand will kill itself in a few years because most fans will have tapped out by then.

They need to take their time and craft some good storylines first and not keep rushing things out.

Just checking but don't they say in The Phantom Menace that they had 1000 years of peace?

Wouldn't that make this trilogy pretty low stakes? I'm sure there's still conflict but the series is called Star Wars.
