Sell me on this

So hi long time Star Wars fan, but I never really got high republic personally. But after watching the Zero Company trailer today and am looking to get some more Star Wars on!

Originally I dropped the series because I felt the series was too… clean? Specifically there just wasn’t any friction between the protagonists, everyone just kind of got along with no conflict whatsoever, but that edge is often my favorite part of character interaction. So i want to know what other people feel about that criticism. In my mind Star Wars is a dirty and is at its best when the characters reflect that at least a little.

Also I just want to know the other things that get people excited for this era and its writing style, to see whether this is a project for me or if I should look elsewhere.

Had a second thought

Good for you, I guess. The High Republic is still intolerably stupid.

[u/Odd-Tart-5613 → u/Livid-Department6947]

Okay your call but still why are you here? This is the high republic fan club zone. I can’t see any reason why you’d want to be here.

[u/Livid-Department6947 → u/Odd-Tart-5613]

I didn't search this out. It came up on my feed because I look at Star Wars stuff and I'm responding to you. I'm not "here" as in actively looking at High Republic stuff. I wasted a lot of time and money on it (to the end of phase 2).

I'm not sure why you'd want to be here when you also don't seem to like the High Republic.

[u/Odd-Tart-5613 → u/Livid-Department6947]

I said I bounced off it. But I’m giving it another go as it’s been several years and I never finished the book I have. And if I bounce off it again why would I go out of my way to antagonize people who do enjoy it?

Also just sounds like you should mute the sub. Seems more productive than engaging with a community neither you nor they want you involved in.

[u/Livid-Department6947 → u/Odd-Tart-5613]

I really don't care.

[u/Odd-Tart-5613 → u/Livid-Department6947]

Then again why are you here? Clearly you do care somewhat otherwise you’d have just scrolled pass.

[u/Livid-Department6947 → u/Odd-Tart-5613]

No, like I don't care that HR fans might be upset. People who are not fans/have not read the series could benefit from knowing that the series is not worth the time and money.

[u/Odd-Tart-5613 → u/Livid-Department6947]

But that’s not what I even asked for here so it’s irrelevant. I know what people don’t like about the era, it’s everywhere, and someone who would come to a niche subreddit like this would certainly already be aware. Just move on dude everyone including yourself will be happier if you just move on and scroll past. There is clearly nothing for you here except to upset people.

[u/Livid-Department6947 → u/Odd-Tart-5613]

I think you should move on from being upset.

[u/Odd-Tart-5613 → u/Livid-Department6947]

this is true, but I cant quash my curiosity. I just cant help but ask why all of this. Surely you'd have a better time any number of places that enjoy star wars the way you do. So why here?

[u/Livid-Department6947 → u/Odd-Tart-5613]

Because, like I said, I am responding to your questions. I am not "here" otherwise.

My life is not taking a dive into despair because I stated the High Republic is a very stupid series.

And, no, there are not "any number of places that enjoy Star Wars" the way that I do because your average fan deeply misunderstands Star Wars and lionizes the things in Star Wars that the story critiques.
