But why do people outright lie about the sequels making over a billion dollars? Like its numbers that are publicly reported? I just don’t understand this fandom sometimes.
I don’t get why people who can’t read or critically think can work for pop culture places. I get wanting to make clickbate is all screen rant does but asking why the tie ins which mostly took place around the battle of jakku for the force awakens taking place in 5 aby but then ahsoka season 2 not released yet but takes pace in 10 aby. Can they not read or google when the shit happened
Not ahsoka season 2 hasn’t happened yet so we don’t know the scale of the war. Most of the force awakens tie ins took place in 4-5 aby. The reason they don’t talk about the plot of Ahsoka 2 is wait it takes place 4-5 years later in at least 9 aby
Been working on a summary for all the phases. Not perfect but I felt like sharing since some of these don’t have summary’s online might be a good resource for someone. This is phase 3 and goes up till temptations. It doesn’t include defy the storm didn’t write a summary for that yet. Upload limit dictates how much I can share at a time :) that being said be warned spoilers ahead
Finally getting back into collecting now that my kids a lil older, though now instead of keeping me up all night he can snatch books so … anyways rounding off the tales books and adding some more clone wars(though not the biggest fan of Karen miller) it is interesting to have books with TCW tv show in mind also the clone wars is the messiest time period in legends. Adding one more to the x wing books, bc great series. Ik shame that I only have 4 of the 10. Which brings me to my biggest complaint, why so much different bindings. Canon is started by to do this also and it’s such an eye sore. That being said I’ll gladly take trades to mmp any day. Ik esential legends fixed it by everything being trades but ugh. So much of bantam is in mmp. Having a kid though has also made time for reading hard to come by mostly I listen to audio books at work which is also why physical copies haven’t been as much of a priority. I do enjoy reading when I can. My number one tip for those getting into the hobby, buy from book sales. Used book shops usally have a great deals on legends. For the most part I only pay 5 dollars per book especially since my eyes never have liked reading mmp. HC are just the easiest for me to read. Any ways have a good night and may the force be with yall
Spoilers for the high republic ahead. Just some thoughts while reading through trials. I get it he’s the leader of a group called the Nihil. As in Nihilism. For those who didn’t read trials go and read it, but damn his views are just fucking sad. We are all going to die and then one day we will be forgotten. That line just really hit me. Then his reasoning is that by ending everyone’s life and existence never to let their atoms be recycled into the universe it will give him peace knowing he made the last decision of anyone ever. Add on top of that that his fear is to be forgotten, and by the time of the prequels no one remembers him. Thinking so highly of himself and his actions for him to not even be known 100 some years later. I don’t know this just struck something with me and I’m curious if anyone else kinda got depressed from Marchion Ros speech. Especially since right after Torbin sacrificing himself to save a nameless that probably died any ways right after just making his choice worthless.
I enjoy legends more than the most but can we please stop pretending it was coherent or even at some points good. Sure legends had plaguies but it also had Jedi prince. Also the massive mia khalifa size hole is a lot tighter than you think. Most of the post return of the Jedi content is being worked on and already has a bunch of comics and 2 trilogies of books plus lost stars. Legends ends with the main 3 about the same age in real life but they basically retire and send the kids off on a side quest to make sure abaloth( one of the worst series in legends imo) is gone for good. Also expecting fans to read a trilogy, duology, a few more trilogy’s and like 3 nine book series to get the plot of a new movie is just eh. I say all this as someone who wants them to make one last trilogy to end legends. So those who wana read the 158 book series get a proper ending and we can shut up about it being peak starwars.
To preface Ik they only announced rebellion content. I also know there is already a starwars ttrpg( well three) from 2015. Do you think enough people will care to get high republic content in ttrpg form. Ik that they are making a bunch of minis for wow just a pipe dream to hope for Marchion Ro minis and long beams and drill ships not to mention Elzar Avar etc. idk it seems like maybe if enough people cared we could see this.
Not my full collection but a decent chunk. Idk the past 2-3 years haven’t been as motivated in starwars as I once was. Honestly putting this up I forgot how much I love this universe and how much I hope I can share this with my kid someday. I also hope one day legends gets a proper ending. Especially since sometimes I feel it’s hard to get new readers into legends since it’s a story that will never be worked on again. Not tryna be one of those continue the eu guys or not my canon. But slow one trilogy post crucible to end it. Maybe just my 2 cents and maybe I’m just the minority.
Also let’s not credit the comic as starwars 2020 issue 20. And let’s definitely say the planet implanting the mind of the person at the time is the same as cloning and that they can easily leave the planet. And say luke never died. Oh wait the copied minds are axtually clearly apart of the planet and cant leave. But it is cool that in a way luke was able to meet Elzar and Azlin.
So the past few weeks there’s a customer that will check in then after 30 minutes we call this customer and she gets all offended saying this is the 3rd time she’s ordered something and gone to her local Walmart 3 states over and after she picks up her crap there we call saying that it’s a duplicate order. Her area code is 2 numbers off on the third digit. She also claimed she’s talked to the Indian people in the philipans on the 1800 number. Idk if anyone else had had something similar or is this just this customer being special
I am mostly going off memory here so if I’m missing any character or got their sexuality wrong I apologize. Some of these works I haven’t read in 6 years so if I forget some parts I’m sorry. After waking up to see a post posted at midnight and the comments let’s go through this chronologically. The claim was lesbians are every where and the comments are old arguments about how much representation is in THR so let’s add up the total.

So no even though it can seem parts are over represented this honestly is a lot less than people like to claim. Also the Jedi can’t love honestly is a temptations of the force plot line the rest of the books make it that the ones who fell in love either break off their relationship or leave the order. Tbh the only reason I think yoda allowed Elzar was yoda was afraid of losing more Jedi. Plus their all star poster boy leaving would’ve been bad for the republic at the time. Which he struggles with throughout the books.
Spoilers ahead for a year old series but I see on Reddit many people just starting LotJ so I do wana say that. I do wonder what’s everyone’s hottest take on this series. I’ll start by giving a few of my own. I honestly think Lourna should’ve killed marchion when he was trapped in rubble. Ik his ending was perfect in trials but it would’ve been such a shock if Marchion died in a “side story”. Another hot take I have is the adult books never reached the heights of phase 1 until trials. This isn’t me knocking the other adult books I don’t think any are bad but eye of darkness and temptations of the force could’ve been combined into one book imo. The phase 2 adult books aren’t awful but the plot is a lot weaker since the YA books get the main revelations. Another hot take I actually don’t think DJO is a bad writer. Hell everyone’s second favorite comic is trail of shadows also the mangas have peak moments. Also Marchion should be as glazed as thrawn if not more. Just cause his books didn’t sell 15 million copies doesn’t mean he shouldn’t get more glaze what did thrawn do find some lizards that negated the force, look at some pretty art. Now I wana know how my hot takes are complete poo do and your most out of pocket hot takes on this series.
I’ve seen people claim that 20000 copies of a 30 dollar hardback is a failure. LotJ alone in those videos sold 120-160k physical copies. TRS selling around 60k physical copies fallen star selling 36k copies and convergence selling 20k physical copies. I’d be curious how many copies the phase 3 books sold since those continued the main story. But my question is just based on those numbers those seem like successful numbers and all the Google stuff says 10k books is a very successful book. So why do people point out that convergence only sold 20k physical hc copies (not including paperbacks or digital or audio) and say that’s a failure. Plus would you expect a big drop off of like 80+% for a long running series.
Besides this being set in the high republic time period was there ever rumors of what the story would’ve been about. With the ongoing strike, the fact it’s been 4 years and rumors of mass layoffs is there any hope left?
With tempest runner I was able to just download it out it on my iTunes to burn to discs to make back ups of the media just to have physical versions. Is there a way to download it still or nah am I sol on preserving the books I have bought? I know tempest runner came out years ago but I wana preserve the audio books I bought and the high republic has so much to preserve.
Has anyone found and preserved a list of a good reading order that includes overlap from other books. Like a hatcheted up chapter reading order that flows nicely. Just wondering for a project I’ve had in mind for years I just need to find a good way to do it. Edit: now I understand the words I was looking for to best describe it ASoIaF has the boiled leather reading order something like that for the high republic idk if us fans have made a reading order like that thank you brom1137 for finding the phase 1 version of this:)
Edit making my own reading order please give feedback on how you think this works or to move stuff around:) I hope it doesn’t need to be said but spoilers for phase 2 ahead

Doing my reread I’m currently on phase 3 and I feel there’s some plot lines that someone should go back and make stories of. I would love to see Marda and the leveler traveling the galaxy slowly turning from the path of the closed fist to the nihil. I would also like An Axel and Gella story post Axels release from prison. Also based on what I remember a Reath and Azlin were left kinda open. Also am I missing the broken blade or is that still getting released? Is there any hope of continuation? Also a yana story of her traveling the galaxy helping raise Shay’s kid I think would be fun.
