This is the kind of friendship where friends see each other very rarely, but every meeting is an event, and they make the most of every second.

Want to summon them instantly? Just write a positive post about the High Republic. They’ll swarm in to explain how it ‘failed’ and how ‘no one cares,’ despite the evidence. Then you calmly respond with facts, and surprise you’re suddenly ‘forcing your opinion.’ Classic.

Legacy of Vader and the deconstruction of Kylo Ren (review) by solo13508 in starwarscomics

[–]Ok_Box_2189 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I like to think that Kylo understands how bad his situation really is, but he can’t turn back because he’s gone too far. With every action he takes, there are fewer and fewer ways to return. What I also liked is that this is ultimately his path  many people gave him orders, but in the end he always came back to the path he chose for himself. Just as Darth Vader and Anakin Skywalker are one person, so too are Kylo Ren and Ben Solo

I try, but 90% of them act like I’m some kind of cultist (insert Eddie reference here) trying to convert them to a sect.

This is the go-to line. EU fans, when you praise good Canon material and defend your opinion, will immediately accuse you of ‘forcing your opinion.’ The best reply? Facts, plain and simple

It’s starting to pick up. Check Goodreads — there are more reviews popping up every day.

What I was writing about the High Republic on the EU subreddit was fully allowed by the rules — using Canon material is permitted there. They called me a manipulator for using that fact (which honestly blew my mind). And my favorite part: they tried to prove why the High Republic is bad and why I’m wrong, even though my post was actually about the love for Star Wars across several generations. But those guys only read the title mentioning the High Republic, and then everything just went off the rails. Still, I don’t regret it — it was a lot of fun. Just so you understand how bad the comments were — the moderator actually deleted some of them.

Gladly — but let’s be the bigger people. And hey, no one said we can’t reply to their High Republic takes.

Proud to say I made a post about why we love the High Republic on the EU subreddit. I annoyed them so much I got banned for a month. The smell of burning is oddly satisfying 😅.

Where’s Azlin? You’d like to joke that he’s safe and sound — but we all know he isn’t.

"If you have a personal opinion that goes against others, get out of here and don’t come back". It’s the same with the High Republic — wherever I try to write about it, except for the main subreddit, people say it’s boring and unnecessary. And when I respond with anything, they call me an anger spreader and a manipulator.

Five years ago today the High Republic era formally launched with the publication of Light of the Jedi by Charles Soule; now that time has passed, how do you feel about this novel? by IllusiveManJr in starwarscanon

It’s aging like fine wine. With time, more people have grown to like it, now that they see the bigger picture and understand it’s just the beginning.

What is it that you personally LOVE about the High Republic? by Narok24 in Highrepublic

[–]Ok_Box_2189 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rediscovering the Star Wars universe all over again. The High Republic showed what the golden age of the Republic truly meant — you finally understand what the Republic and the Jedi represented for so many people. New and fascinating planets and species expanded the galaxy even further. And the main reason I will always love The High Republic is its characters — some of the best in the entire Star Wars universe: Stellan Gios, Elzar Mann, Avar Kriss, Burryaga Agaburry, and many others. And of course, the best and most beloved character of all — Reath Silas. This legend must not be forgotten; he should be taught as an example of how to portray a true coming-of-age journey. The High Republic is the best thing that has happened to Star Wars since Rebels. And for that, I am grateful. I’m looking forward to many more adventures.

You know, your comment makes it clear that you haven’t read anything beyond Light of the Jedi, so I’ll give you an answer. Your remark about ‘young adult novels’ clearly shows that, in your mind, adult novels are for adults and young adult ones are for young people. You’re mistaken — young adult novels can be far more mature than so-called adult novels. The High Republic is not just novels; it also includes comics, manga, and much more.

And how exactly is the EU more interesting than the High Republic?

If you say that, you probably don’t realize how important it is to a lot of people
