It's non canon.

Not surprised, I'm waiting for Mickey to show up as a Grand Republic Jedi Master with the ability to hold 2 planets in his hands with just the force.

Speaking of, did you guys hear Disney went ahead and indirectly retconned Anakin's hobby of being an engineer during his slave days, and instead said if you're really good at building stuff, it's because you have a really rare Force ability. It's being introduced in the next High Republic novel, likely to explain why Rey can do so much with mechanics when she only ever scavenged dead cruisers.

They're turning the force into a Deus Ex Machina. (Or at least more so than it already was)
The Force is Anakin's dad, as stupid as it is that;s not the worst damage they have honestly done to the franchise. Also

I might be less upset if he trained Rey between TLJ and ROS.

So here are my thoughts on the Disney Star Wars franchise, and I think it’s a hit or miss,

Miss:
The sequel trilogy was a mess I can’t lie about it, why was a mess because they didn’t have a clear direction, They just wrote the story as they went along, not to mention the atrocious force comedy that makes you feel like you’re in the Marvel movie no offense. I’m not saying that you should like these movies it’s your opinion but you have to admit that they didn’t really have a clear direction.

I seriously don’t understand why that recon every legend book, and say these are not canon, I seriously don’t understand the decision to do so what’s ironic that they say they didn’t have enough stories to go by even though there’s like thousands upon thousands of legends material they can use.

Hit:
Mandalorian was pretty much a returned to form for what Star Wars was once.
Great story, humor that then felt out of place, and most importantly great characters. From season one two season two was the best Star Wars content in years.
Clone wars Season 6 was fantastic, kept what made the series so great.


It seems like they’re doing better now in days bud that doesn’t mean that they’re free from mistakes is, they can still do some questionable decisions but for what I can say we’re in the clear for now

As long as they stay away from releasing shallow unplanned films, they might have a healthy idea of how to handle the franchise.

Bad Batch (other than the god awful filler episodes), TCW (even though it existed Pre-Disney), and Mando are the best things to come out of Star Wars since the early 2000s.

Bad Batch Season 2 announced

Here's to hoping
Spoiler:
Crosshair rejoins the squad, so the team would be at full strength for the majority of the season.

You're missing some good reading with the Legacy and Fate of the Jedi series then.

Jacen becoming Cadeus is what Disney thought Kylo Ren would be.

Lol no I think you misread. I'm one of the strongest supporters of Pre-Disney Star Wars.

Gotcha, since Clone Wars and the rest were the best since the early 2000's so I just wanted to make sure you knew about those novels.

One of the reasons the 20th Century Fox version of the Saga was dropped was that Chewbacca died in one of the books (I don't remember which one, though, but he did die heroically, sacrificing his life for his friends) and when they decided to bring Han Solo back tor the films, they also decided to remove an entire version of Star Wars history instead of just giving Han in his old age a new co-pilot.

At least, that's what I heard.

It was a Moon, its also funny how Disney and fans argued that Chewie dying was one big reason to throw out legends and then we lost Luke, Leia and Han.

Visions is out. Personally, my favorite short (at least on first-watch) has got to be The Village Bride but I only found 2 of the 9 to be below-average (those being Tatooine Rhapsody and T0-B1).

Would Disney be opposed to shutting the fuck up and taking my money?

I always wanted to see some elite clone unit using lightsaber bayonets. Given how often they ended up fighting battle droids hand-to-hand, a bayonet would've been a very logical weapon for them. And, more importantly, it would've been cool.

Only well done eps in my opinion were 1,5,7,8,9 I think. Give me a franchise from the guys who made that first episode, they know exactly what Disney needs.

That Chibi Jabba's kid generic rock nonsense was pure dumpster fire. Didn't bother with the Robo Pinocchio episode.

The Twins were cool, concept was far out, and they did the TLJ bubblegum head maneuver except it made a semblance of sense.

The adopted Rabbit episode was awesome

The old man Sith episode was on the money too, you could really feel which studios had an affliction for the good stuff of the franchise, and those who... probably didn't.

For those that have read it, what are your thoughts on the High republic stories and comics? Ive been thinking of checking them out but wanted to hear honest reviews that don't devolve into the usual "SJW is ruining star wars!' complaints videos from youtubers.
GVK: TNE is a modern day 70s Showa Godzilla movie. Being a massive budget modern blockbuster CGI film instead of traditional 70s tokusatsu techniques doesn't change that. Fight me.

Anguirus and Godzilla being friends in the Showa series is cannon. Deal with it.

Monsterverse is not similar to either MCU nor Bayformers just because all three are big budget CGI blockbuster franchises.
