For me the biggest difference in regards to the High Republic is the fact the Sith are into hiding. The Old Republic has these massive wars against the Sith so I never saw the High Republic as a replacement to it.
For the most part the High Republic is mostly just been covering the tail end of the Golden Age. I personally suspect that during the tail end of the Old Republic during the time of darkness were the Sith ruled, For nearly 200 years only to be defeated by Tar Vizla, Who had united the jedi order on the Mandalorians against them. because If we look at the time frame the Sith were defeated. tar Vizla Unites the Mandalorians Under his leadership a few years before the Sith would be defeated if I were to take a guess Tar brought the full strength of the Mandalorians to bear against the Sith Alongside the Jedi order which is what allowed them to retake chorusant and defeat the Sith once and for all of course we know Darth Bane escaped and created the rule two

It’s been simultaneously amusing, annoying, and frustrating how many completely disregard the HR era because they assumed that it “replaced” the OR era.
I kinda view the collaspe of the Old Republic like the fall of the Roman Empire; and the High Republic as the Rennaisance. We get this Dark Ages sort of situation, where both technology and literature were lost and have to be relearned. It offers a lot of potential for storytelling. (And admittedly, solves a few of the problems I have with the Old Republic's portrayal.)
I love how they’ve left the OR in a grey area and for me it melds fairly well as a result w the high republic happening after that era concludes 1000 years before phantom menace, love it
I’ve been telling loads of people that the high republic isn’t replacing old republic it takes place after the old republic’s events (even tho old republic isn’t canon it still takes place after everything during that time)
well it still kind of does replace the Old Republic. They literally removed the Old Republic entirely, and brought in their own rendition of a post-episode 1 era.
@@walterclements5632 No it doesn't. The simple fact of the matter is that outside of some references in other errors of Star Wars, current lucasfilm has made no exact stories in terms of their usual productions that take place in that era. Rumor has it. It's because the old Republic MMO game is still going on strong and they're waiting for that game series to end to a technically reboot the old Republic era and it will be their big new focus. They don't want to cut off something that keeps making money hand over fist and is something that fans absolutely goddamn love with zombie fever. So I honestly think one of the reasons why they made the high republic is because they can't touch the old Republic yet. Kind of like how Marvel's been doing what they're doing because for a while legally they couldn't touch anything belonging to the X-Men or fantastic Four even though that's obviously were the money and story would go next.
@@jordanwhite352 well I mean yeah but that just supports my claim. The Old Republic isn't canon, and believe me I would love for it to be that. It's no rumor that the SWTOR is still strong, I've been playing that game since 2013 and the community in it is still alive and well. Thing is, most of the money the game makes doesn't even reach Lucasfilm's / Disney's slimy pockets, it's Bioware who keeps squeezing profits from the game.
The way I figure it is the Old Republic is like the Star Wars equivalent to the Roman Republic / Empire at it's height. The Republic reached its peak until it had it's encounter with the Sith Empire and its successors. This marked the beginning of a long but steady decline caused by the near constant fighting with Sith forces, which in Legends came to near complete collapse of the Republic, leading to a dark age during the New Sith Wars of the Draggulch Period (2000-1000 BBY). By this time it had become necessary for the Jedi to step in and take more direct control to preserve the Republic until the end of the SIth threat, leading to the Ruusan Reformations. Following this, the Republic slowly recovered and began to recover and rediscover lost territory, which then would have lead to the time of the High Republic, an era of new exploration not seen since over 4000 years prior, the equivalent of Earth's Age of Exploration and the Renaissance.
This also helps with what both Palpatine and Sio Bibble say in AOTC Palpatine: “I will not let this Republic that has stood for a thousand years be split in two.” Sio Bibble: “There hasn’t been a full scale war since the formation of the Republic.”
@@curzon9619 False, The High Republic takes place long after The Old Republic and doesn't contradict it at all. 1/3 of the only canon mentions of The Old Republic era happens in The High Republic stories.
@@RayOfTruth I am well aware. However, the High Republic states that the Outer Rim is hardly colonized by 238 BBY, which makes the Old Republic era impossible.
@@curzon9619unless endless war with the Sith empire as well as stagnation over 600 years since the ruusan reformation caused the republic to lose known territories and be slow to rediscover them
@@becknorland587 Except that's not what happened, and that would only create even more issues. The period between 1000 BBY and 19 BBY is known as the "Republic Golden Age." Though there was slow political stagnation, the actual lives of general people were great, and there was unparalleled peace. The Republic wouldn't just "lose" thousands of planets that are actively colonized and served as major military installations AGAINST the Sith advance.
The issue is that if Disney steps anywhere near the old republic, the legends fans will throw a fit. Look at how they slam the high republic for being a 'replacement' for the old republic despite being set at least 500 years after.
You know, I wonder if most of the Outer Rim was unexplored by the High Republic Era because it all used to be territory of Sith Empires? I mean, maybe the Jedi Order and Galactic Republic initially avoided going into these unexplored regions because of their bad experiences fighting Sith there. According to the Old Republic game, Sith Empires constantly went into hiding after defeats deep into the Outer Rim to rebuild themselves.
Oh the easy Old Republic: Before the Sith started the great dumpster fire that wrecked the galaxy. High Republic: After the galaxy got done rebuilding after said dumpster fire.
Thank I for this video, dad is constantly asking me this question and keep trying to explain it to him but he’s still consumes about the time periods. All I have to do now is show him this video to make is easier for him to understand.
Old Republic mmo I even feel is doing it’s own thing and storytelling since it’s legends as well. Sure maybe canon might take some inspiration from it but that’s about it. Maybe story of Revan they might even pull that canon might tell is just one version of many stories about them.
I have just started Ashoka and noticed it the first episode the T6 shuttle has the designation 1-9-7-4. The same year Dave filoni was born! I thought this was a fun Easter egg but not sure if it has been mentioned already as I am severely behind. Love the episode discussion and thank you for having a great channel!
I think the Old Republic Era is still there in the Canon universe since in the wars between the Jedi and Mandalorians were referenced a lot in the Mandalorian show but the High Republic is what we’re currently focusing on. Maybe after the High Republic stories are done, Star Wars would go further back and then we could get the Canon Old Republic stories.
Seems the main difference between Canon and Legends is the Canon New Sith Wars were even more of an apocalyptic shitstorm since the Sith apparently managed to take over.
I've been playing the Old Republic MMO this past year and it's quickly become one of my favourite Star Wars things and eras, enhancing what I already loved from KOTOR but I also love the High Republic era and what it's added to Star Wars as well. Despite all the Old Republic stories being Legends, I actually think the Old and High Republic compliment each other because timeline wise, they are so far apart. THR has made some small references to TOR stuff like kolto, bacta's predecessor, and various Jedi purges in the Order's history but nothing that's overwritten the lore fans love about the previous era. I have no idea if that's been deliberate on the part of the authors but I have appreciated that symmetry. There's even been some High Republic inspired content added to TOR so in a way, it's been mutual. I am excited to see the Old Republic era explored in Canon, it will be interesting to see how it's handled, I hope well enough but personally, I would rather they just take the plunge and dive into it rather than go the route of Dawn of the Jedi, personally I'm weary of that. I like James Mangold, I think he will do well in Star Wars but I prefer the mysticism and the wonder surrounding the Jedi and the Force and how it can be left up to interpretation so putting too concrete a story on how it was discovered and how the Jedi came to be doesn't appeal to me. I am still looking forward but I'd prefer they just go for telling stories in the era, be they brand new or new interpretations of the Legends stories, rather than dragging it out
@@aaronlaughter6471the old republic is literally the only thing I cling onto for Star Wars at this point. As much as I want to there to be 9 movies through the timeline of Revan and Malgus, I do not want Disney even touching it. The legend is already perfect, I can see Disney twisting it completely and ruining it
In legends the old Republic is it's own government and the first Republic in history. In canon the old Republic and the Galactic Republic are same fraction.
I'm really interested seeing how the Old Republic is going to look and feel in the new continuity. Way back in the day, it always bugged me that the original Old Republic fed into the whole "thousands of years ago, everything was the same / even more advanced" fantasy cliche, and I like that they seem to be trying to avoid that with the current conception of galaxy's history.
Funny, because Disney has literally removed the Old Republic... How is it weird that the technology was more advanced than it is now? That's literally every sci-fi universe in existence... Warhammer 40k, Halo, Mass Effect... and no everything was not the same. The Republic had it's own military (the clone wars does not count, it literally lasted for what? 3 years?), the Republic wasn't the only galactic super power either.
see,I was one of those people who think the High Republic is the canon replacement for the Old Republic,I had no idea (mostly my fault,I don't deep dive yet in the pre-prequels era),thank you SO MUCH for clearing this out!
Glad to see some optimism around! Honestly they should just recanonise the whole OR at this point. Exar Kun and the og TOTJ storyline is Canon (although archaeologists from the Skywalker period think it is a fable similar to King Arthur IRL), Revan is Canon, Darth Tenebrae (Sith Emperor) is Canon thanks to ROTS, and SWTOR has been referencing Canon/Filoni stuff like Umbara and crossguard sabers. It is so darn obvious.
I mean they have the old republic also Naga shadow is canon. Okay wrong the great sith wars are canon or great sith war is canon but some of what you said is kinda of wrong revan in name. Wrong name that dude is not the emperor even the old republic emperor isn’t even canon. Huh that’s just a fun Easter egg that’s it nothing more
@@bullrun2772 Revan has been named in Canon since at least 2020. A Sith Emperor was mentioned to own a piece of art in Palpatine's office. The Legends version of this unnamed Emperor is Darth Tenebrae, or the Sith Emperor of the Reconstituted Sith Empire.
@NurseAmamiya ah yes, I too can condem an entire era of Star Wars due to one subpar story. isnt that right Old Republic Era, how dare you give us SWOTOR don't think I forgot about you Prequel Era, I will never forgive you for producing Dark Disciple. and how could we ever forget the utter abomination of an Era that is the original trillogy Era after giving us the Star Wars Christmas Special.
I have really liked the references to The Old Republic games in some of the books. Its minimal probably because they don't want to mess too much with the characters in those stories. Stuff like Darth Revan being worshipped on Exegol, Luthen having a crystal from the Rakatan Empire, and a number of other small things makes those old stories canon in my book. Plus, they are remaking Knights of the Old Republic!
I was expecting you to talk about the Life Day episode of Young Jedi Adventures since it's Life Day and there's something new to talk about related to the holiday. What a fool I am.
its always been funny too me that fans care that star wars has realistic tech progression. other fantasy series like lord of the rings doesn't have this complaint (atleast surface level) I think canon will probably use the same explanation legends did. the dark age from around 2000 bby that caused technological regression.
@@sebastianoleary2743 i just assumed you wanted realistic tech progression, because TOR and KOTOR are pretty decently distinct aesthetically. Still OT inspired definitely but TOR takes more mcquarrie influence + WOW. And KOTOR is a bit more rustic.
The thing about the old republic era is that there were so many conflicts between the jedi and sith over such a long time that technology just got lost and many resources were used up, after 3000 years of prolonged conflicts, it kindnof makes sense that technology didn't change much, as even if it did it might have been destroyed or the resources needed for it were depleted. Just in the three games you have the mandalorian wars, revan and male's war against the republic, nihilus the sith empire and the Great galactic war the galactic civil war, the eternal empire conquering both the sith and republic, the second great galactic war and another conflict involving mandalorians. Between then and the era of darth bane and the brotherhood of darkness the second great war ended and continuous conflicts happened between the sith and the republic, slowly draining more and more resources.
@Mal-sg6zc There might be people who want it more realistic, but I can only speak for myself. Personally, I think the way TOR was portrayed in Legends was pretty cool, and there are a lot of great stories set in that era. But I also think that it could be a cool idea if the old republic had less developed technology in cannon. It would set the era apart both from the Skywalker era and the old republic in Legends and open up opertunites for different types of stories.
There's also the other out of universe difference Old Republic (set millennia before ANH) is a media arm of lucasfilm being lead by the videogame arm of the company Hugh republic (set centuries before ANH) I'd a media arm of lucasfilm being lead by the publishing arm of lucasfilm. The MMORPG is the main "core" for old Republic content with additional materials (books and comics) being peripheral add-ons. The Novels are the main "core" of the High Republic with additional materials in games and TV shows being the peripheral add-ons.
For Phase 1, you can just read the 3 Adult Novels: Light of the Jedi, The Rising Storm and The Fallen Star for the main story but the YA Novels, MG Novels and Comics add more to the story, but you can just read the 3 main Adult Novels and be just fine
@@andybertaut No worries, also for Phase 2 i would recommend reading the Adult and Young Adult Novels, Path of Deceit > Convergence > Battle of Jedha (Audiobook) > Cataclysm > Path of Vengeance
the difference is the time period they represent. The Republic is ancient. The Old Republic is a term used for the time period of the Republic's creation until 1000 BBY when the Sith was finally defeated. The High Republic was during 500 BBY to 100 BBY. It was the peak of the Republic's power and prosperity. With no wars to worry about, the Jedi and Republic were able to thrive during that time.
hey from the future also it makes sense why the Sith would reemrge after all time going for a tactical approach rather than a direct on as seen from The Acolyte.
Is high republic fun? I've seen some artwork for starlight station as well as some of the ships and jedi: I also love the idea of uber filthy rich fancy jedi, but idk.
yeah its fun. as for what you should start out with you could try Light of the Jedi which is the first High Republic book, it establishes the time peroid and eases you into the political situation of the entire era as well as what threats the Jedi will genrally be facing since the Sith arent available in this era. if you wanna entertain small children then the the Young Jedi Adventures cartoon is a good choice if you wanna get into the comics the Star Wars High Republic Adventures Comic series is a great read, and some of the lore it introduces gives off Kotor vibes.
I personally dont mind KOTOR remake maybe in a gameplay like Amalur or Jedi Survivor. As long as the gameplay is right and its not too overfocused on graphics then all good.
The Old Republic Era was technically the Golden Age of the Sith Order (Game of Thrones-like Conflicts): "Everybody said, 'Oh, well, there was a war between the Jedi and the Sith.' Well, that never happened. That’s just made up by fans or somebody. What really happened is, the Sith ruled the universe for a while, 2,000 years ago. Each Sith has an apprentice, but the problem was, that each Sith Lord got to be powerful. And the Sith Lords would try to kill each other because they all wanted to be the most powerful. So in the end they killed each other off, and there wasn’t anything left. So the idea is that when you have a Sith Lord, and he has an apprentice, the apprentice is always trying to recruit somebody to join him -- because he’s not strong enough, usually -- so that he can kill his master." - George Lucas The Sith destroyed themselves but the Jedi Order ensured the Sith never returned to their former glory, sparking the desire for vengeance against the Jedi and the Republic. In other words, the era should focus on the Sith and internal conflicts between Dark Council members like Darth Marr. However, the first thing they should cover is the Knights of the Old Republic to focus the story on Revan, Bastila Shan, Meetra, Malak, Kreia, Darth Nihilus, and Darth Sion.
Lucasfilm is absolutely terrified to get into the Old Republic in a significantly canonical way, I am 100% convinced of that. Rabid Old Republic fans would only ever accept a straight porting-over of that storyline into official canon, and any deviations will be met with enormous amounts scorn and rage. Such is life when a big chunk of your fanbase thinks it owns the franchise and is entitled enough to wage war against the people that actually own the franchise. So instead, Lucasfilm works with what it can. The slim space between the Old Republic and the Civil War - The High Republic....and really, the 2nd half of the High Republic. It's been pretty solid Star Wars content and I'm interested to see how they connect it directly to the prequel era. Then with Mangold's movie, we once again avoid The Old Republic and will likely spend years in that era before Lucasfilm has to grow a pair and either tackle the Old Republic, or jump far ahead past the Sequel Trilogy and show us what the future is like.
I think the biggest issue is that Kotor revan is not a character, he is just an avatar for the player and whatever they do people will go "that's not the revan I remember"
@@corruptpixel8441 This is absolutely a huge part of the challenge that LFL faces. And you know the fans with cultish levels of devotion toward the character will absolutely freak out if they race or gender-swapped the character....which implies there's an established version...which there isn't. I'm not totally up to speed on Revan's comic book origins to be honest.
Oh, man, I already have way too much depression because of the Star Wars community already and it's getting worse every passing day. This would the final stage to a literal nuclear explosion.
@@kyleroussel I know this comment is 4 months old but there is an established version thanks to the Swtor mmo. Male, and sort of looks like Keanu Reeves. While the Jedi Exile is female.
My favourite thing about High Republic compared to Old Republic is originality. OR is essentially "what if it was republic vs empire but it's all extravagated like warhammer". 90% of it's designs are from originals and prequels with really slightest changes that don't make them look like millennia's apart. Malgus is a cheap knockoff Vader, Imperial soldier is a stormtrooper knockoff, Republic troopers are bareley changed from clones designs, similarities in ships design are not even to discuss, they outright have tie's and venator mixed with isd.
it sounds like you are just referring to the MMO which is fair. But in all fairness TOR feels like its own universe celebrating all of star wars. the rest of the old republic era varies in difference. If you want originality, tales of the jedi (the comic) aesthetically... is very distinct.
@@Lr.Laecro.Lirus3445 Well, I mean in Comparison to the old Extend. The OR had massive wars between Empire and Republic but the HR feels like expansion into the Outer Rim only recently started.
So, is the time in between the High Republic and the Empire the "Republic" or the "Old Republic"? I doubt citizens in the Republic would call it "The Fall of the Jedi" era, especially before Order 66 occurred.
The difference between high and old republic is that the old republic was legendary and the high was between very boring to inactive with maybe some stories of interest or fondness like the era that Disney is working on now, say, probably will be rubbish but has potential to be kinda great and fans may support it if they do it right
Who doesn’t Disney just deem the Kotor games canon? They did this with TCW 2008 series which was also part of Legends, also Kotor is set around 4,000bby so I don’t see it contradicting anything that the new canon has done.
They focus on the movies and TV shows (since The Clone Wars) as canon, Star Wars originated as a movie franchise. Video games aren’t technically canon since they do conflict stuff what has been established in the movies and TV series. Plus, Attack of the Clones and The Clone Wars did conflicted stuff that was established from video games like Jedi Order forbids any Jedi pre-Order 66 to fall in love with anyone and attachments in the movies while Old Republic games had not forbids attachments, Ahsoka is technically the first apprentice to Anakin’s life and adding Ahsoka in to The Clone Wars series did conflict stuff like the old Clone Wars games before Dave Filoni made the Canon version of The Clone Wars, etc.
@@HenryLouis21 Thats why people disregard HR If the new continuity cant build something interesting on the foundations that have already been built then it feels like theres no point getting into it if thats how it will work Would you care about a sequel to a book you love if the "sequel" completely ignores and even changes what came before?
So, Ben should have said, "the Jedi Knights were the guardians of peace and justice in the Old Republic. Before the dark times, before the High Republic, before the fall of the Jedi."? Or does the Old Republic include the High Republic and the Fall of the Jedi?
Ben was never referencing the old republic era when he said that, he basically means the republic before order 66, he quite literally follows up that with "before the dark times before the empire" when the eu old republic itself was a very dark time itself
Funny enough In legends luke Jedi order is destroyed by Darth Krayt and we can assume Cade skywalker is going to rebuild the order In canon It was destroyed by snoke and Palpatine And Rey Skywalker will rebuild the order
I don't understand where the fun in completely recreating legends stories for canon is? I don't want an old story repackaged as canon, I want a new one!
Huh? Wtf is this comment like the Old Republic you don’t have to like to hire you know, but this comment hysterically cringe it’s like saying attack of the clones doesn’t matter because revenge of the Sith is better. Also the whole thing with that it’s just sitting with Jakku if you don’t like the way, the stories folding about it that’s on you you probably don’t know what you’re
Because it isnt as interesting as the Old Republic era, or the Galactic Cold War, or the Mandalorian wars, or the myriad of other amazing events in the Old Republic era to the point your having dark side jedi, light sided Sith, smugglers taking down entire fleets and breaking blockades winning wars, normal soldiers killing sith lords and Jedi, and so on. The HR era is just boring in comparison.
Simply put. The Old Republic actually makes sense and was creative and was made with love. The High Republic a poor attempt to legitimize the disney trilogy and was promoted with gender ideology and diversity.

Unpopular opinion: HR seems a rushed project in comparison to the OR. The EU had decades to mature, make mistakes, be forgiven & ultimately “grow on” the fans. We were able to grow accustomed to the EU, like discovering a new favorite food/acquired taste. The HR seems like it’s being force fed (get it? Force 😂) to us. Disney is in such a hurry to make money/turn a profit that it’s not letting the project settle. Slow down & let the fans & the free market dictate whether or not the project is “good enough”.
You’re completely wrong, not only is your opinion unpopular, it’s just wrong. Fans loved the Old Republic immediately with the first game’s release, there was no “grow on” How is The High Republic being “Force fed”? no one is forcing you to read it, simple as that How is The High Republic rushed? they actually put a lot of planning into it to have all the creatives on board plan together to tell a complete and connected story

@@curzon9619 False, The High Republic takes place long after The Old Republic and doesn't contradict it at all. 1/3 of the only canon mentions of The Old Republic era happens in The High Republic stories.
@@RayOfTruth I am well aware. However, the High Republic states that the Outer Rim is hardly colonized by 238 BBY, which makes the Old Republic era impossible.
@@curzon9619unless endless war with the Sith empire as well as stagnation over 600 years since the ruusan reformation caused the republic to lose known territories and be slow to rediscover them
@@becknorland587 Except that's not what happened, and that would only create even more issues. The period between 1000 BBY and 19 BBY is known as the "Republic Golden Age."
Though there was slow political stagnation, the actual lives of general people were great, and there was unparalleled peace. The Republic wouldn't just "lose" thousands of planets that are actively colonized and served as major military installations AGAINST the Sith advance.
Correction: now Swtor is in the hands of Broadsword, not BioWare anymore. But awesome video!
I hope there will be finally some old republic stuff one day
The issue is that if Disney steps anywhere near the old republic, the legends fans will throw a fit. Look at how they slam the high republic for being a 'replacement' for the old republic despite being set at least 500 years after.
@@mustardeater5162 which is very sad
You know, I wonder if most of the Outer Rim was unexplored by the High Republic Era because it all used to be territory of Sith Empires? I mean, maybe the Jedi Order and Galactic Republic initially avoided going into these unexplored regions because of their bad experiences fighting Sith there. According to the Old Republic game, Sith Empires constantly went into hiding after defeats deep into the Outer Rim to rebuild themselves.
I’ve have been absolutely loving the high republic era so far can’t wait till they get into the old republic
Oh the easy
Old Republic: Before the Sith started the great dumpster fire that wrecked the galaxy.
High Republic: After the galaxy got done rebuilding after said dumpster fire.
Lol yes so true
Thank I for this video, dad is constantly asking me this question and keep trying to explain it to him but he’s still consumes about the time periods. All I have to do now is show him this video to make is easier for him to understand.
Hey Star War Explained, just a heads-up, the video seems to go completely red at 0:15
Old Republic mmo I even feel is doing it’s own thing and storytelling since it’s legends as well. Sure maybe canon might take some inspiration from it but that’s about it. Maybe story of Revan they might even pull that canon might tell is just one version of many stories about them.
I have just started Ashoka and noticed it the first episode the T6 shuttle has the designation 1-9-7-4. The same year Dave filoni was born! I thought this was a fun Easter egg but not sure if it has been mentioned already as I am severely behind. Love the episode discussion and thank you for having a great channel!
I think the Old Republic Era is still there in the Canon universe since in the wars between the Jedi and Mandalorians were referenced a lot in the Mandalorian show but the High Republic is what we’re currently focusing on. Maybe after the High Republic stories are done, Star Wars would go further back and then we could get the Canon Old Republic stories.
Seems the main difference between Canon and Legends is the Canon New Sith Wars were even more of an apocalyptic shitstorm since the Sith apparently managed to take over.

I'm looking forward to seeing more high republic era content.
Also more differences are no revan, malak, or bastilla in the high republic era.
I've been playing the Old Republic MMO this past year and it's quickly become one of my favourite Star Wars things and eras, enhancing what I already loved from KOTOR but I also love the High Republic era and what it's added to Star Wars as well. Despite all the Old Republic stories being Legends, I actually think the Old and High Republic compliment each other because timeline wise, they are so far apart. THR has made some small references to TOR stuff like kolto, bacta's predecessor, and various Jedi purges in the Order's history but nothing that's overwritten the lore fans love about the previous era. I have no idea if that's been deliberate on the part of the authors but I have appreciated that symmetry. There's even been some High Republic inspired content added to TOR so in a way, it's been mutual.
I am excited to see the Old Republic era explored in Canon, it will be interesting to see how it's handled, I hope well enough but personally, I would rather they just take the plunge and dive into it rather than go the route of Dawn of the Jedi, personally I'm weary of that. I like James Mangold, I think he will do well in Star Wars but I prefer the mysticism and the wonder surrounding the Jedi and the Force and how it can be left up to interpretation so putting too concrete a story on how it was discovered and how the Jedi came to be doesn't appeal to me. I am still looking forward but I'd prefer they just go for telling stories in the era, be they brand new or new interpretations of the Legends stories, rather than dragging it out
Wait what High Republic inspired stuff is in SWTOR?
Dude keep The Old Republic away from Disney, I dont want there mitts ruining that era of star wars.
@@aaronlaughter6471the old republic is literally the only thing I cling onto for Star Wars at this point. As much as I want to there to be 9 movies through the timeline of Revan and Malgus, I do not want Disney even touching it. The legend is already perfect, I can see Disney twisting it completely and ruining it
@yqpe2907 dude same, well I do hop back and enjoy the EU, cause the Thrawn trilogy will always be my sequel trilogy.
@@StarRider587there are some costumes in swtor based on high republic
In legends the old Republic is it's own government and the first Republic in history. In canon the old Republic and the Galactic Republic are same fraction.
In my head, KOTOR and the Legends Old Republic are canon until proven otherwise.
0:14-0:18 There's an editing mistake where it's nothing but a red background.
I'm really interested seeing how the Old Republic is going to look and feel in the new continuity. Way back in the day, it always bugged me that the original Old Republic fed into the whole "thousands of years ago, everything was the same / even more advanced" fantasy cliche, and I like that they seem to be trying to avoid that with the current conception of galaxy's history.
Funny, because Disney has literally removed the Old Republic...
How is it weird that the technology was more advanced than it is now? That's literally every sci-fi universe in existence... Warhammer 40k, Halo, Mass Effect... and no everything was not the same. The Republic had it's own military (the clone wars does not count, it literally lasted for what? 3 years?), the Republic wasn't the only galactic super power either.
see,I was one of those people who think the High Republic is the canon replacement for the Old Republic,I had no idea (mostly my fault,I don't deep dive yet in the pre-prequels era),thank you SO MUCH for clearing this out!
Glad to see some optimism around! Honestly they should just recanonise the whole OR at this point. Exar Kun and the og TOTJ storyline is Canon (although archaeologists from the Skywalker period think it is a fable similar to King Arthur IRL), Revan is Canon, Darth Tenebrae (Sith Emperor) is Canon thanks to ROTS, and SWTOR has been referencing Canon/Filoni stuff like Umbara and crossguard sabers. It is so darn obvious.
I mean they have the old republic also Naga shadow is canon. Okay wrong the great sith wars are canon or great sith war is canon but some of what you said is kinda of wrong revan in name. Wrong name that dude is not the emperor even the old republic emperor isn’t even canon. Huh that’s just a fun Easter egg that’s it nothing more
@@bullrun2772 Revan has been named in Canon since at least 2020. A Sith Emperor was mentioned to own a piece of art in Palpatine's office. The Legends version of this unnamed Emperor is Darth Tenebrae, or the Sith Emperor of the Reconstituted Sith Empire.

Small note here: Bioware recently sold the game to a company called Broadsword.
Yes but they still publish it
I have really liked the references to The Old Republic games in some of the books. Its minimal probably because they don't want to mess too much with the characters in those stories. Stuff like Darth Revan being worshipped on Exegol, Luthen having a crystal from the Rakatan Empire, and a number of other small things makes those old stories canon in my book. Plus, they are remaking Knights of the Old Republic!
I was expecting you to talk about the Life Day episode of Young Jedi Adventures since it's Life Day and there's something new to talk about related to the holiday. What a fool I am.

0:16 that red box)
wow...how many cups of coffee did you have...
Thank you for saying this
I like the idea of the Old Republic feeling more ancient now. The games made things look too similar to the prequels and got too big. IMO
its always been funny too me that fans care that star wars has realistic tech progression. other fantasy series like lord of the rings doesn't have this complaint (atleast surface level)
I think canon will probably use the same explanation legends did. the dark age from around 2000 bby that caused technological regression.
@Mal-sg6zc I don't care if the development of technology is realistic. I just want the different eras to feel different
@@sebastianoleary2743 i just assumed you wanted realistic tech progression, because TOR and KOTOR are pretty decently distinct aesthetically. Still OT inspired definitely but TOR takes more mcquarrie influence + WOW. And KOTOR is a bit more rustic.
The thing about the old republic era is that there were so many conflicts between the jedi and sith over such a long time that technology just got lost and many resources were used up, after 3000 years of prolonged conflicts, it kindnof makes sense that technology didn't change much, as even if it did it might have been destroyed or the resources needed for it were depleted.
Just in the three games you have the mandalorian wars, revan and male's war against the republic, nihilus the sith empire and the Great galactic war the galactic civil war, the eternal empire conquering both the sith and republic, the second great galactic war and another conflict involving mandalorians. Between then and the era of darth bane and the brotherhood of darkness the second great war ended and continuous conflicts happened between the sith and the republic, slowly draining more and more resources.
@Mal-sg6zc There might be people who want it more realistic, but I can only speak for myself. Personally, I think the way TOR was portrayed in Legends was pretty cool, and there are a lot of great stories set in that era. But I also think that it could be a cool idea if the old republic had less developed technology in cannon. It would set the era apart both from the Skywalker era and the old republic in Legends and open up opertunites for different types of stories.
Just got into audiobooks on Spotify. Cant wait to tackle the HR
Ngl I thought the high republic was after rise of skywalker decades later
Thanks, Alex! 👁
There's also the other out of universe difference
Old Republic (set millennia before ANH) is a media arm of lucasfilm being lead by the videogame arm of the company
Hugh republic (set centuries before ANH) I'd a media arm of lucasfilm being lead by the publishing arm of lucasfilm.
The MMORPG is the main "core" for old Republic content with additional materials (books and comics) being peripheral add-ons.
The Novels are the main "core" of the High Republic with additional materials in games and TV shows being the peripheral add-ons.
I will call KOTOR a peripheral add-on to Exar Kun comic and see how many Revan fans will get mad.
Good vid, except for that weird red screen for 10 seconds
Do i need to read all the YA content and comics to get this era? Or can I stick with the standard novels and follow the story?
For Phase 1, you can just read the 3 Adult Novels: Light of the Jedi, The Rising Storm and The Fallen Star for the main story but the YA Novels, MG Novels and Comics add more to the story, but you can just read the 3 main Adult Novels and be just fine
@@wasteland_gz great. thanks.
@@andybertaut No worries, also for Phase 2 i would recommend reading the Adult and Young Adult Novels,
Path of Deceit > Convergence > Battle of Jedha (Audiobook) > Cataclysm > Path of Vengeance
the difference is the time period they represent. The Republic is ancient. The Old Republic is a term used for the time period of the Republic's creation until 1000 BBY when the Sith was finally defeated.
The High Republic was during 500 BBY to 100 BBY. It was the peak of the Republic's power and prosperity. With no wars to worry about, the Jedi and Republic were able to thrive during that time.
What is a star? What is a war?
One is old 👨🦳and one is high☘️. Simple.
One has Yoda, the other does not. 😅
hey from the future also it makes sense why the Sith would reemrge after all time going for a tactical approach rather than a direct on as seen from The Acolyte.
10 hours ago to 11 hours ago 😮
Is high republic fun? I've seen some artwork for starlight station as well as some of the ships and jedi: I also love the idea of uber filthy rich fancy jedi, but idk.
It is fun.
@bbkashitsukishima3199 what book do you recommend? Are they all connected? Should I start with the first issue?
The best starting place for The High Republic is the novel Star Wars: Light of the Jedi.
yeah its fun.
as for what you should start out with you could try Light of the Jedi which is the first High Republic book, it establishes the time peroid and eases you into the political situation of the entire era as well as what threats the Jedi will genrally be facing since the Sith arent available in this era.
if you wanna entertain small children then the the Young Jedi Adventures cartoon is a good choice
if you wanna get into the comics the Star Wars High Republic Adventures Comic series is a great read, and some of the lore it introduces gives off Kotor vibes.
I personally dont mind KOTOR remake maybe in a gameplay like Amalur or Jedi Survivor. As long as the gameplay is right and its not too overfocused on graphics then all good.
The Old Republic Era was technically the Golden Age of the Sith Order (Game of Thrones-like Conflicts):
"Everybody said, 'Oh, well, there was a war between the Jedi and the Sith.' Well, that never happened. That’s just made up by fans or somebody. What really happened is, the Sith ruled the universe for a while, 2,000 years ago. Each Sith has an apprentice, but the problem was, that each Sith Lord got to be powerful. And the Sith Lords would try to kill each other because they all wanted to be the most powerful. So in the end they killed each other off, and there wasn’t anything left. So the idea is that when you have a Sith Lord, and he has an apprentice, the apprentice is always trying to recruit somebody to join him -- because he’s not strong enough, usually -- so that he can kill his master." - George Lucas
The Sith destroyed themselves but the Jedi Order ensured the Sith never returned to their former glory, sparking the desire for vengeance against the Jedi and the Republic. In other words, the era should focus on the Sith and internal conflicts between Dark Council members like Darth Marr. However, the first thing they should cover is the Knights of the Old Republic to focus the story on Revan, Bastila Shan, Meetra, Malak, Kreia, Darth Nihilus, and Darth Sion.
I kinda of some disagreements here but still great video
So much for the "High Republic".
It’s sad that knight of the old republic remade got canceled
It's still in development, it was just delayed.
Lucasfilm is absolutely terrified to get into the Old Republic in a significantly canonical way, I am 100% convinced of that. Rabid Old Republic fans would only ever accept a straight porting-over of that storyline into official canon, and any deviations will be met with enormous amounts scorn and rage. Such is life when a big chunk of your fanbase thinks it owns the franchise and is entitled enough to wage war against the people that actually own the franchise. So instead, Lucasfilm works with what it can. The slim space between the Old Republic and the Civil War - The High Republic....and really, the 2nd half of the High Republic. It's been pretty solid Star Wars content and I'm interested to see how they connect it directly to the prequel era. Then with Mangold's movie, we once again avoid The Old Republic and will likely spend years in that era before Lucasfilm has to grow a pair and either tackle the Old Republic, or jump far ahead past the Sequel Trilogy and show us what the future is like.
This is very true.
I think the biggest issue is that Kotor revan is not a character, he is just an avatar for the player and whatever they do people will go "that's not the revan I remember"
@@corruptpixel8441 This is absolutely a huge part of the challenge that LFL faces. And you know the fans with cultish levels of devotion toward the character will absolutely freak out if they race or gender-swapped the character....which implies there's an established version...which there isn't. I'm not totally up to speed on Revan's comic book origins to be honest.
Oh, man, I already have way too much depression because of the Star Wars community already and it's getting worse every passing day. This would the final stage to a literal nuclear explosion.
@@kyleroussel I know this comment is 4 months old but there is an established version thanks to the Swtor mmo. Male, and sort of looks like Keanu Reeves. While the Jedi Exile is female.
I bet, full potential Anakin Skywalker Would beat those eras
My favourite thing about High Republic compared to Old Republic is originality.
OR is essentially "what if it was republic vs empire but it's all extravagated like warhammer". 90% of it's designs are from originals and prequels with really slightest changes that don't make them look like millennia's apart. Malgus is a cheap knockoff Vader, Imperial soldier is a stormtrooper knockoff, Republic troopers are bareley changed from clones designs, similarities in ships design are not even to discuss, they outright have tie's and venator mixed with isd.
it sounds like you are just referring to the MMO which is fair. But in all fairness TOR feels like its own universe celebrating all of star wars.
the rest of the old republic era varies in difference. If you want originality, tales of the jedi (the comic) aesthetically... is very distinct.
That sounds extremely dismissive of SWTOR. Its a pretty great game despite the more familiar aesthetic.
It means a lot to the fans and i fear that they will find a way to mess it up.
15.000 years of more or less sitting in the Core Sectors? And then a few hundred years of expansion....a very satisfied old republic it seems.
Well, even if the HR does not replace the OR Era, it still seems to limit it, since the Galaxy seems to be far less settled and on a smaller scale.
It's very well settled. The Hetzal-System alone has a population of 40 BILLION.
@@Lr.Laecro.Lirus3445 Well, I mean in Comparison to the old Extend. The OR had massive wars between Empire and Republic but the HR feels like expansion into the Outer Rim only recently started.

People neglecting the high republic are missing out big time
The main thing is sith.
I look forward to a new version of the OR. I honestly prefer the HR stuff way more than the leganda OR.
The difference between high and old republic is that the old republic was legendary and the high was between very boring to inactive with maybe some stories of interest or fondness like the era that Disney is working on now, say, probably will be rubbish but has potential to be kinda great and fans may support it if they do it right
the difference is a couple thousand years 😹

RIP KOTOR remake :/
@thatiowan3581 I'm caught up with all the comics and I need to read or listen to the latest novel actually lol.
Who doesn’t Disney just deem the Kotor games canon? They did this with TCW 2008 series which was also part of Legends, also Kotor is set around 4,000bby so I don’t see it contradicting anything that the new canon has done.
They focus on the movies and TV shows (since The Clone Wars) as canon, Star Wars originated as a movie franchise. Video games aren’t technically canon since they do conflict stuff what has been established in the movies and TV series.
Plus, Attack of the Clones and The Clone Wars did conflicted stuff that was established from video games like Jedi Order forbids any Jedi pre-Order 66 to fall in love with anyone and attachments in the movies while Old Republic games had not forbids attachments, Ahsoka is technically the first apprentice to Anakin’s life and adding Ahsoka in to The Clone Wars series did conflict stuff like the old Clone Wars games before Dave Filoni made the Canon version of The Clone Wars, etc.

So, Ben should have said, "the Jedi Knights were the guardians of peace and justice in the Old Republic. Before the dark times, before the High Republic, before the fall of the Jedi."? Or does the Old Republic include the High Republic and the Fall of the Jedi?
Ben was never referencing the old republic era when he said that, he basically means the republic before order 66, he quite literally follows up that with "before the dark times before the empire" when the eu old republic itself was a very dark time itself
Funny enough
In legends luke Jedi order is destroyed by Darth Krayt and we can assume
Cade skywalker is going to rebuild the order
In canon
It was destroyed by snoke and Palpatine
And Rey Skywalker will rebuild the order
There's nothing funny about watered down versions of better stories, and no Krayt didn't destroy the Order, it went into hiding.

HR seems a rushed project in comparison to the OR.
The EU had decades to mature, make mistakes, be forgiven & ultimately “grow on” the fans. We were able to grow accustomed to the EU, like discovering a new favorite food/acquired taste.

Slow down & let the fans & the free market dictate whether or not the project is “good enough”.
You’re completely wrong, not only is your opinion unpopular, it’s just wrong.
Fans loved the Old Republic immediately with the first game’s release, there was no “grow on”
How is The High Republic being “Force fed”? no one is forcing you to read it, simple as that
How is The High Republic rushed? they actually put a lot of planning into it to have all the creatives on board plan together to tell a complete and connected story
