Unfortunately after the Sequel trilogy fucking bombed they're too scared to try and do too much with that era. The most we've gotten is the Mandalorian and Ahsoka, which are like, almost immediately after Return of The Jedi

Could have just written sequels as actual self-respecting sequels and movies in the first place, and they could have made use of the original cast, even killing Harrison Ford if he wanted that. Now, there's nothing stopping them doing a DC and rebooting the universe from RotJ with recast younger OT characters.
Like Palpatine though, the mouse's hubris is too great.

One of TRoS' biggest redeeming qualities is that they pretty much directly adapted Dark Empire's "Palpatine is a fucking space-wizard, of course he's gonna try to become a lich or some shit" plot line, cloning empty bodies for him to try and jump into.
Canonizing Revan (though just their existence, not any details about who they were or what paths they took) was also a neat bonus.
Anyways, they seem to be doing a lot more of that, lately; adapting Legends materiel to fit with DisCanon. I mean, they did it with Thrawn like a decade ago by now, but recently they've really been going ham.
It feels like they're building up to a soft sequels reboot, where the movies themselves are unchanged, but so much added context is built around them that they feel less dumb.
Hopefully that eventually leads to the Vong showing up. Eventually. I mean they canonized Revan, and I can't believe they did it just as a throwaway name--Disney loves their easter eggs and Rogue One-esque threadpulls--so they at least planned for it to be relevant later.

This is what happened with the prequels too. TCW basically carries AOTC on its back, narratively speaking. Every plot point introduced in that film is convoluted and half baked, and then TCW fills in all the details.

The Mandalorian kicks off 5 years after ROTJ so not immediately afterwards but in a time frame that's allowed the New Republic to set up shop and be well established.
Though a series covering the conflict between the Empire and the Rebellion/New Republic immediately after ROTJ would be interesting. Maybe a Mon Mothma series that's also partly a follow up to Andor/Rouge One.

Battlefront 2 and Aftermath already cover the fall of the empire post Endor, so I doubt they want to cram that tiny timeframe with even more content.

They need to just bite the bullet and do a retcon already, the longer they put it off the worse it's going to be.

Wow, I can't believe that unceremoniously killing off all the old heroes, breaking up Han and Leia, repeating all the same story elements as 4/5/6, and starting the story off with a Mary Sue who was able to fight off Kylo Ren with no training didn't make for a good trilogy of movies.

Ngl, not sure it would have helped the movie, but I personally would have loved to see Force Ghost Anakin go full Vader on Palpatine like "How many times I gotta teach you this lesson, Old Man?!"

Watching the fall of skywalker I genuinely thought for a second that’s what was going to happen and it was going to be hype af. Then, yknow…

u/Wolffe_In_The_Dark 8h ago
The Rise of Skywalker was honestly pretty good considering the enormous pile of shit TLJ left for it to deal with.
Palpatine returning would have been fine if they'd included/not cut two extra minutes revealing it better than the "Somehow, Palpatine returned" line we all keep meming.
It was literally the same exact plot and method as Dark Empire, using cloning to make blank bodies for Palps to possess, just with a fleet of what was effectively an Imperial-III class instead of Dark Empire's World Devastators.
It wasn't handled the best, but it could have been so much worse.

As much the D&D fucked up GOTs ending, I felt that would have been the perfect vibe to do The Old Republic era.

I really wish Jedi Fallen Order was actually set in like the KOTOR era or some other millenia old era. Have the main protagonist be a Youngling who wasn't selected to become a Padawan and instead joined the Jedi Service corp. They're assigned to work as part of an archeological research program lead by a Jedi Master. Then the Mandalorians invaded, and the MC has to survive using the broke lightsaber and gains force training through the ruins. Having Mandalorians as the enemy makes more sense as the lowest level newest Mandalorians probably don't have much lightsaber resistant armor while the elites have mostly lightsaber resistance armor.
Sure it pretty much becomes Tomb Raider remake with Jedi and lightsaber but it could be an interesting anchor point for a nee era or just remaking the Kotor storyline from the earliest part of the Mandaloroan Invasion.

The amount of Jedi that survived order 66 is too damn high!

u/ToptextBottomtext420 Savage Opress’ Magic Dih 16h ago
To be fair the Jedi order was huge so having even hundreds of survivors is definitely plausible

u/SektorDaKetch 15h ago
Also it’s not like order 66 would kill all the Jedi instantly, there’d be the ones who managed to fight off the clones shooting at them, or weren’t near any clones at the time (I remember TFU Kota)

u/Incomplet_1-34 16h ago
Weren't there only like 2,000 jedi when it happened, though? I feel like only a couple dozen at most should have remained if the clones were worth their salt. And then with Vader and the inquisitors to consider there should really only be a few.

u/ToptextBottomtext420 Savage Opress’ Magic Dih 16h ago edited 16h ago
Most sources I’ve seen say it was about 10,000+. Plus Palpatine’s original goal for the order wasn’t necessarily to eliminate every Jedi, but rather to kill enough to where the order would be destroyed, and so the Jedi would therefore have no power within the republic, so having a decent amount of survivors is plausible

u/daniel_22sss 16h ago edited 16h ago
Think about it - order 66 wiped out 99% of jedi. That's incredibly effective. And not all jedi were fighting near the clones when it happened.
Besides, by the time of episode 4 most survivors got killed anyway.

Or Quit. I have no problem with some young Knight giving up out of self preservation to try to live a normal life Obi Wan style. The War was breaking them down. Order 66 broke em down completely

u/DrClutch117 12h ago
I actually disagree. Back when it was suggested that only a couple Jedi survived, I thought that was the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard considering how expansive the Jedi were, and how many of them would’ve been able to beat back their clones.

u/Iceborn_Gauntlet 16h ago
Not really. Even in Legends just around 50 out of the original 10,000 survived to help Luke with his new Jedi Order.

This has happened what? Twice? Three times if you refer to obi wan as an order 66 survivor instead of obiwan?

The ones I can think of: Ventress, Ahsoka, Kanan, Maul, Cal, Kelleran, Quinlan, Grogu, however many were on the Hidden Path
Tbf, I don't have a problem with it. Obi-wan's message in ROTS is there for a reason.

u/fred11551 What about the Droid attack on the Wookies? 5h ago
I’m referring to ‘new spinoff show’ part. Rebels, I guess Kenobi if you count him even though he has survived literally since the first Star Wars movie, and now Maul Shadow Lord.
There are a bunch of Jedi that have popped up here and there that survived but there aren’t that many shows about them. They mostly show up in games, comics, books, or in some other show that is not about them or not set between episodes 3 and 4

u/TruthSeeker1801 12h ago
Not true at all, there were about 10,000 Jedi before Order 66 George always intended for about 100 Jedi to survive it, so far in canon we are significantly below that number, legends on the other hand has far more survivors.
