And 'Luke' was George's nickname in high school.
We'll get me a cigarette cause my mind is blown

For those that have seen the 'Star Wars High Republic' books and comics and though 'Oh good, some new SW books to get my kids into SW that's not related to the sequel trilogy' you may want to hold off.
Lucasfilm managed to shit on all of the goodwill from The Mandalorian finale within two weeks.
Nah, its now just that everything headed by Filoni and Favreau are heavily anticipated by fans, and everything else... headed by Kathleen Kennedy... fans are indifferent for.
That said, I heard the 1st issue of the High Republic sold very well... 200K copies... which for a 1st issue for a comic released over the last decade. Now the question is if the sales will nosedive over the next few issues or maintain a moderate level of profitability to justify continuing the series.
Haven't heard any sales info for the book that was released.

Unity is an illusion here, but I don't mean that it's impossible nor even unlikely. I mean that you're using it sort of as a complaint in that you've noticed a lack of unity, which really means what you've seen is kids acting shitty to each other. That's common and again I'm not endorsing bad behavior, but to think there's never going to be unity is the same as thinking kids will never learn. And that's not true. Division is a line in everyone's mind, but it doesn't exist the same way for everyone. So the division we create, even as a result of what we've seen or experienced, is a line that only exists to each person. It's not necessarily really there. It's a self imposed limitation that ends up corroding your ability to empathize.While I understand growing up biracial is hard and confusing, I've never understood the hardline stance some take in regards to white bashing and or ignoring the fact they are half white themselves. It's literally telling your white parent their feelings don't mean shit to them. I have had blackish biracial kids tell my whiter skinned biracial kid they don't count as biracial. Tell me that isn't some fucked up shit right there. Victimhood will be the reason we never unite as a people. It's like a security blanket to some.

Yeah, she has also been there for the whole Mando run. Even so, she's a fitting enough scapegoat for the sequel backlash. It doesn't appear clear to me that she had much creative control, or even necessarily marketing control outside a bit of executive producer style guidance.
Regardless, the gods demand a sacrifice.
If they do retcon Galaxy's Edge. They gotta keep this cast member.....
Audio doesnt work for me for some reason. Whats he say?

Does Disney not want to make money?
How the fuck does posting like this on public forums and insulting fans not get you fired immediately?
This is the type of shit that the idiots who write for Marvel Comics have been doing on Twitter for years, and what do you know? People stopped buying their books.

If anyone would like to to hear a decent 'Audio Drama' of a very good EU story, Dark Empire, rather than track down the comics or buy the expensive graphic novel hardcover, check these out.
Its not an audio book, which is one narrator reading the book outloud and doing all the voices for the dialogue, its an classic 'Audio Drama' with separate voice actors for each character.
I'd say all the actors do great performances emulating the voices of the movie characters, but Leia and Palpatine's actors are a bit off.
Highly recommended, especially since its free.
For the story's flaws, you just got to keep in mind it was written in the early 90s well before the prequels solidified Palpatine's backstory.
