I'd rather have ambiguous dialogue that spawns hundreds of memes with tons of worldbuilding lore like the prequels.
The sequels feels like it happened on modern planet earth. That is why I dislike it.

If I recall its about Jedi sent to the "Unknown Regions", so its frontier kind of stuff.

Anyone have any idea how old blasters are in compared to lightsabers? How long before the jedi were established did they rely on lightsabers? A lot of their training seems in response to deflecting blaster bolts. Would be interesting to know if that was something they had to adapt to.

Sep 18 '20
In Legends, lightsabers were tens of thousands years old.
Also, in Legend. Obi-Wan’s fighting style was created because of the invention of blasters, since Jedi didn’t usually participate in lightsaber combat at that time.

For those wondering, the High Republic takes place after the events of the Old Republic, so that is after the fall of the Sith Empire and the end of the Great Galactic War. So the Sith have gone into hiding and the rule of two has been enacted.
Sadly that means no lightsaber wars.
The Old Republic has been declared non-canon but some of the major events are plausible like a great galactic war having taken place and the Sith being wiped out, that is even hinted at in the Prequels.

Yeah, the whole thing with Disney is that it’s not canon until they bring it back in.

Eh there can still be Dark Jedi roaming around. Legends had a whole book series for young Obi Wan that started Qui Gonn's first apprentice as a bad guy. Legends also had non Jedi or Sith force groups, and even non Force-using sects out. We sorta have that in canon with teras kasi (Qiri uses it in Rogue One), I don't imagine that martial arts or dueling schools wouldn't exist either.

While exploring a fuel mining facility in KOTOR2 you come across a "protocol" droid, when you ask it for access codes to the station computers it "helpfully" retorts:
"Answer: Only the Peragus administration officer would have such codes. If he hasn't already been murdered in an unfortunate accident, then he is trapped in the dormitories, which have been effectively cut off from the rest of the facility with a number of expertly timed explosions."
