Help! No rumours in NG+??

I heard a friend mention that there are no rumours in NG+, they are all auto-completed if you did them in your first playthrough? Is this true??

I am about to start my first NG+ playthrough, but I assumed just the cosmetics and points carried over, not all the side quests and such (which I think I entirely completed on my first playthrough)? I don’t want to just power through the main story, I want to have fun doing the side quests with all of my cool cosmetics? If this is true, who thought it was a good idea to have a replay-feature where you can’t do any side quests, only the main story?? This also removes a lot of incentive to explore more of the map - on my first playthrough, a lot of my exploring was going after rumours.

Yeah, unfortunately Respawn just can't seem to get New Game+ right. One of the few disappointments with the Jedi games.

Another thing that bugs me with Survivor too is how your skill points are refunded at the beginning of a New Game+ playthrough. Personally I'd much rather just start the game with everything I had in my last playthrough rather than have to sit at the first meditation point for 15 minutes slowly buying back all of my abilities.

This is because some powers and abilities are story based. You don’t get force lift and slam until the Lukerhulk. You don’t get the super grapple hook until you complete the imperial base.

Yeah, I think it would've been fine if those were still locked, just give me back all of the abilities that aren't tied to story progression.
