SAlYAN 02/25/25 1:42:30 PM #75:	AceMos posted... what stories move forward that have no connection to the OT The Old Republic era has nothing to do with the OT, and is one of the most universally beloved parts of star wars lore. KotOR 2 even manages to be heavily deconstructive of the mythos the same way TLJ tried to be, and is universally beloved for it. The High Republic has by and large separated itself from existing stories, and is also very well received. And if you're solely looking at "moving forward" chronologically: The Mandalorian managed to be beloved for a solid two seasons, before Disney Corporate decided to shit the bed with Book of Boba Fett and Season 3. Skeleton Crew pulled in weak numbers due to a variety of factors, but reviewed extremely positively. There were quite a few stories in the EU that did the same, from the universally-loved Thrawn Trilogy, to a few of the storiesbset thousands of years in the future. It can be done, and has been done. People just didn't appreciate the way TLJ tried to do it. "All the people from your favorite story as a kid actually kinda sucked, they all died sad and alone, and everything they built and fought for was meaningless" isn't exactly a great sell to anyone other than contrarian "high media" enthusiasts. Like, that kind of story works for the PT because it's a tragedy. The OT wasn't supposed to be a tragedy, but was retconned into one after the fact. And people generally don't appreciate that. --- Doesn't take a lot of brains to be a good fighter. <cite>SAlYAN posted [p:984164498] in Kathleen K...
