SIR HELLO???

SIR HELLO???

I would absolutely eat this up

So, the recent cancellation of The Acolyte has me thinking about another lost Star Wars story. Except this one never aired a single episode.

One of my biggest issues with the New Republic era is the lack of much meaningful exploration of the New Republic itself (outside of books, The Convert from Mando S3 and scattered scenes elsewhere). Which is a real shame because there are so many interesting topics to explore with especially early in its existence. How does the rebel alliance hope to transition into an actual functioning government? On a smaller scale how did former rebels adjust to their new lives after the war? What became of the more radical rebel factions? Did some of them start fighting The New Republic? How did heavily pro imperial worlds respond to the change of power? More on the extremely wholesome New Republic amnesty program?

If Lucasfilm wants to push the New Republic era as the main focus of Star Wars storytelling going forward they should seriously consider reviving this show. Even in the absence of Cara Dune there are plenty of other new republic characters who could make for a pretty fun ensemble (Carson Teva, Zeb, Kallus, Hera, Omega? Potentially Mayfeld???) and the option to create new ones. Sadly I feel like it might already be too late, would love to be proven wrong though.

This is why I absolutely hated how The Acolyte framed Osha's fall to the dark side as being " liberating ".

I'm really tired of people criticizing Star Wars for its simple approach to good and evil, because that ignores the point.

Star Wars is not about morally complex situations where it's hard to tell who the villains are.

Star Wars is about how easy it is to become one of the villains.

Imagine if she showed up to test Omega's M count instead of Ventress. Would have been such a cool deep cut and a super interesting character to bring into canon.

honestly tv is really dead. I’m tired of streaming services making those 8 episodes shows that never get the chance to have more seasons after making the audience invested in the characters and also making the cast and creators uncertain and anxious about getting the chance to go back to another season. I miss when we had actual shows with multiple seasons in production from the start to keep the interest going, this format of not quite a show but also not a limited series fucking sucks and I feel so bad for everyone that works for these streamings
