As I’ve mentioned before, I’m a big fan of the pre Disney Star Wars Expanded Universe books and comics. I find it interesting they wanted nothing to do with the EU and thought it was smart to alienate myself and all the other fans who faithfully bought the books and spent time in forums, but they seem to keep mining it for content and even more interesting they don’t want to turn their crappy High Republic into a tv series.
Of course we could play a drinking game for when we hear “updated for modern audiences”, “i never played KOTOR”, or showcase the diverse cast
I'm deeply frustrated that modern Western entertainment is so shit that my initial reaction is anger. More KotOR should excite me. More LotR should have excited me. More Fallout should have excited me. And so on. But I felt nothing but anger and dread in each of those cases. Because I knew what they'd do with it.
If they were capable of writing a good story, they wouldn't need someone else's IP to do it.
