Just watched the trailer. A Star Wars project I'm actually excited for, I'd say. A welcome change of pace from TBB Season 3, which I had no interest in and just didn't watch. Hopefully we'll get some Andor-level quality out of this.

Now this is what I have been waiting for! This era, which exists as a sort of bridge between the traditional High Republic and the Prequel Trilogy has always been ripe for exploration and storytelling about the ascendant Sith, and it seems like I’ll finally be getting my wish.

While the trailer definitely gave some solid answers, I feel like it presents even more new questions. Biggest of all, just who is the mysterious Sith Lord that the trailer teased? I strongly doubt that he is Darth Plagueis, as his silhouette is too stocky and short to be a Muun. Besides, Plagueis would be too young at this time to be a full-on Sith Lord. Another possibility is that this is Plagueis’ Master, Darth Tenebrous. Tenebrous is a Bith, a species whose physical proportions more closely match this mysterious silhouette. Also, it’s hard to tell for sure, but this figure may be wearing a transpirator mask, just like Tenebrous does. However, the silhouette’s head shape doesn’t look quite right. I think this could be chalked up to a less exaggerated redesign for the Bith species on a tv series budget, like what happened with the Duros and Pau’ans on other tv series.

Either way, I am definitely hyped for this show, and can’t wait until June!

What exactly do you mean by the traditional High Republic?

^ The era from roughly 800-200 BBY. I know that the High Republic technically lasts until Episode I, but I think that 199-32 BBY is more of a transitional period where the Sith really begin emerging and manipulating events on the Galactic stage.

Well I have to say this looks really cool and it will be very different

I didn’t read any High Republic books but I can tell this will be a fun story

And I am excited to see some of the early Jedi

Also not sure if it will be in this show or Dawn of the Jedi but how the Sith was formed

So I am excited to see how this will form and how it will link into the beginning of Episode I

This has a high potential of being one of the better live action Disney+ shows. As a person who is a big fan of the high republic, I think this show is going to do well. Though, I thought it was kind of confusing.

I hope the show is as good as the other shows. I am liking that it shows the Jedi order before they became "warriors". My hope for this series is that they explain on how Yoda learned about the Sith rule of two, that it has Yoda. I also hope we see the high council and more importantly whom is on it. (Idk I am intrigued with who is on the Jedi council at any given time) I like seeing new species in the galaxy. I probably am going to rate the trailer a 7/10

Can't wait. Hoping it's more Andor than Obi-wan.

^ I get more Karate Kid vibes than Obi Wan.

@Darth Cumulonimbus The first thought I had, when I saw the Silhouette was „Zabrak!“, because the head looked like there were some kind of small horns on it.
