They don't spend a lot of time on it or call it out explicitly, but Qimir absolutely proved to Mae that it's not impossible to kill a Jedi without a weapon when he dropped Yord with his bare hands. And then the casual tossing aside of the body, like it was easy, was just brutal.
facts. and im happy it was him too. it makes perfect sense to kill the most overconfident and hard headed jedi with EASE.
Note that Osha also passed the test: she got Qimir using the beasts. And I wouldn’t be surprised if she end up being the one killing Sol using emotions once she learns whatever truth he’s hiding 😬
yea but Yord is not a Wookie 😭
Brutal, indeed. No frills killing.
Vader kills plenty of people without a weapon in ESB. Not Jedi people, but still.
jecki put up a damn FIGHT. she’s a beast bro qimir did her dirty whipping out his secret dual blade to finish her😔
RIP JECKI!
@@NeighborhoodItalian fr😭😭 that triple stab was brutal😔
@@TDhexada dude… she was so badass and actually believable as a character 😭 she was whippin those dual sabers
@@NeighborhoodItalian frrrrr i was lowkey so sad that in all of the jedi to show up in the episode no one was wielding dual blades.. we almost never see anyone do it by default like ahsoka .. but then jecki brought the HEATT
@@TDhexada she was Standin on buisness fasho 🤣 rip a real one ☝🏽 got taken out by a dirty sith trick
The reason the sabers were shorting out is because Qimir was wearing Cortosis weave armor. It’s appeared in some books on the fringes of canon, and canonically it’s what Sheev’s lightsaber was made out of (and trimmed in gold), but we’ve never seen armor like this onscreen before. Super dope pull, I think.
Ah, just got to the part where you named it, sorry, didn’t know you knew the word for it omn1
@@jasonmarbach Don't sweat it.... some of us didn't know that, and appreciate you spelling it out. =D
@@IggyStardust1967 🫶
It’s also appeared in the canon books A New Dawn and Thrawn: Alliances
That is something new and interesting that I didn't know.
This is easily some of the best lightsaber combat we've seen in a while, and I do love that the show decided to pull no punches and didn't just only go for the red shirts. They really said, yeah time to pay attention now.
"And let you read my thoughts... no" - so many people have heard that line and jumped to the conclusion that the helmet blocks Sol from getting into the Master's head like Magneto's helmet blocks Charles in X-Men. The reality is the helmet physically blocks Sol from seeing the Master's eyes and facial expressions and thus his ability to interpret and anticipate the Master's next moves.
This
I interpreted that statement this way as well.
Yep and without knowing who he is the mind goes all sorts of different directions and has fear of the unknown. This give the Qimir an advantage in the mental battle aspect of the force battles
The way he snapped that dude's neck was intense. I screamed at the TV, and I already screamed at the TV from that force double stab move in the beginning. I was like damn that was just a normal murder, no saber stab, just classic neck snap. That was so brutal.
You’re so right, very raw and ‘unsophisticated’ a choice, it was such an act of rebellion in and of itself. He is an ‘unrefined’ element. I thinking now it reinforces to me he’s not a Jedi nor Sith.
I like that they decided to use cortosis. It was a pleasant surprise to see and was utilized quite well imo. Underrated Star Wars metal
It makes a lot of sense too that a Sith Apprentice would use it, since if they ever actually got into combat they'd undoubtedly be outnumbered.
@@boat1280 agreed. I also like that they clearly paid attention to it’s main properties to play into the plot, the fact it’s a very brittle metal allowing it to be broken apart easily. Plus, it was smart of Yord to use it the way he did, even if he got his neck snapped immediately after. Shows he was a fast learner who still maybe underestimated his opponent, or he was just too brave.
Cortosis helmet be bangin. I love this show and this episode was amazing. RIP to Jecki and Yord. 😢
Can't wait for the next episode
i'm glad they didn't try to subvert expectations with qimir. he was barely trying to hide it like he was testing mae to see through his bumbling fool act. the theme of your eyes deceiving you is embedded in the whole plot. i wish the discussion of this show wasn't so bogged in bad faith bullshit.
Thank you for putting out the message that issuing death threats over disagreeing on a programme is not cool. I thought that was common knowledge, but, there you go. I just want to remind everyone that Star Wars isn't real. It's a wonderful fantasy, but if you take it so seriously that you issue death threats...perhaps you need to step back for a while and live in the real world.
Agreed. Sadly some fans let their emotions do the messaging and they don't care
I didn't know I needed Manny Jacinto as a Sith lord but now can't go back
THOSE ARMS
@@AlexanderTheMysticCrow yeeeeaassss
Cortosis helmet & gauntlet are definitely a good choice when fighting Jedi.
Surely just a sword made out of the stuff would make you basically unbeatable.
@@awesimo4684 cortosis is extremely brittle to impacts, that's why Jecki was able to break it just by hitting it, so a sword made of it would be near useless
@@foulrot It would be incredibly useful against lightsabres
@@awesimo4684 only at disabling them, you couldn't then use it to attack
Honestly soon as Qimir impaled that one jedi, forced the other on to the blade and decaped em both? I knew this episode was gonna cook! Also his lil code switching when he is revealed, sees Mae, talks like he used to and went right back? Chef Kiss. Am i crushing on the baddie a bit? Yeah I suppose so
I think this story really is about Sol and Qimir. I felt like Qimir was putting on a little show for Qimir. He killed Jecki in front of him. He killed Yord in front of him. He took Mae hostage during the height of Sol's anger, and it seemed like he was trying to goad Sol into attacking him (to make Sol share the burden of her death). He also didn't take any opportunities to strike Sol down unarmed.
I think Qimir knows about Sols past cause Koril taught him- that’s how he knows how to confuse Jedis minds
@@NeighborhoodItalian I think he was part of it somehow, and the mission against the Jedi is really just about him and Sol.
I still don't think qimir is the sith master but rather the apprentice looking for his own acolyte kinda like dooku with asajj/savage
I believe Qimir was on Brendak, remember when the twins were about to be ascended? Qimir was the Hooded figure next to Aniseia and Koril, if you look carefully, the hooded figure is behind them in a corner. Qimir was there
@@aguirronunbound I don't think he was on Brendak either. I think there is something else going on.
Sol leaving behind the bodies of Yord and Jecki was brutal.
I honestly hated that lol
I'm guessing it would have slowed them down and they could have been caught up to. Can always go back to grab them later, not like they're going to walk away
Particularly as Jecki was his padawan. She earned that viking funeral more than anyone.
Idk why some people aren’t able to follow Mae’s plotting. She planned to surrender and snitch on the master due to: Osha being alive, and not being able to satisfy the master. That plan changed when 1) Kelnacca was killed, leaving her prime suspect. 2) The master, who she was planning to snitch on, was already there. Plan B was to flee. A LOT of people somehow were confused, and I really don’t understand how.
And I've seen a few people confused about Qimir going from fight to fight, wondering why he keeps running off. His objective is to get to Mae. Its not that difficult to figure out, I don't know why people are having trouble with it.
@@ShadowArtista character flip flopping on every whim when it is not explained in the show in the slightest is not good story telling
@@NeighborhoodItalian
Maaan, if they NEED to tell you who he is trying to get to during the fights, and why mae chnaged plans, thats a you problem tbh.
I got it, and im not that smart
@@ariel2179They're talking about Mae's intentions, not Qimir. She's wishy washy AF
@CrossOutBryce Mae thought osha was dead, it was about revenge, she knows she is alive now, so her plan changes to getting osha and gtfo, to her, only osha matters
There were some brutal deaths in this episode. They need to use this choreographer for future projects.
Really enjoying how they're not dragging out mysteries in this show.
But there’s really no tension either
What do you mean? We're more than halfway through and they still keep stringing us on what happened 16 years ago.
@@ray101892 mostly how they're not making us wait for the obvious reveals like Qimir being the sith lord or Mae/Osha being twins.
@@ray101892That's the real mystery....
What fucking mysteries? Who would want mysteries in what was sold as a "mystery" show. You fucking people.
Cortosis-weave armor (what Qimir is precisely wearing) was an armor which was resistant to lightsabers. It contained traces of cortosis, an ore prized for its ability to create an energy feedback loop which would temporarily shut down a lightsaber.
As cortosis weave contained only trace amounts of the ore woven into it, the armor lost the ability to short out an opponent's energy blade. Instead armor containing the cortosis weave would merely be resistant to lightsaber strikes.
Cortosis weave was in use as early as 4000 BBY as both an armor underlay and for the tempering of traditional melee weapons against lightsabers. At this time cortosis ore seemed to be much more common, later, however it would become a rarer, more valuable material that would give the user an unexpected edge against a force-sensitive opponent.

That one moment where jecki saves mae from qimirs slash was so good... thought they were building up her dynamic with both twins so much that her death completely blindsided me
Scary thing is, we still don't know if Qimir is a Sith Master or an Apprentice, given the Rule of Two.
He might even be something else, not abiding by that rule. He might have found ancient teachings, from before that rule.
@@vintersaga2177 But given how much he wants a pupil, he could be a Sith Apprentice trying to overthrow his own Master, given that's the role of the Apprentice in the Rule of Two.
probably apprentice, since darth tenebrous was the main sith lord back then
maybe qimir wants to overthrow tenebrous using an acolyte (mae) to rebuild a sith empire, but fails, dies and then tenebrous gets a new apprentice (plagueis)
I’ve really liked this whole show (imperfect, for sure, but still *really* good, well above replacement-level Star Wars so far) but this ep absolutely BLEW me away. Manny Jacinto, LJJ, and Dafne Keen all went NUTS this episode. We have certainly had better *pure lightsaber* fights I think, and certainly more emotional ones, but the overall package of action in this episode was INCREDIBLE - including some of the best live action lightsaber work we’ve ever seen. I would even go so far as to say the action (not just saber, but all of it collectively) was the most untethered, savage action the franchise has ever delivered.
Sorry that you or anybody is receiving threats because of a different opinion. So unnecessary. Block that negativity.
The incels
Jesus, this is just as brutal as some of the later High Republic books.
Where do you think there getting there ideas from
Darth Dentures’s helmet and bracer are made of cortosis, a metal that can short-circuit lightsabers. But it’s not the greatest protection because it’s pretty brittle.
Yup, it's ONLY really useful against lightsaber blades
6:09 Jecki with the Cal Kestis drop kick
I’m not necessarily surprised about Yord and Jecki, but I’m shocked at how it happened. I never thought Star Wars would visually show a child getting stabbed repeatedly. With Reva, with ROTS, it usually happened off camera
I think we're about to see allegiances change. I think Sol will bring Mae over to the light when he explains his part and Osha will go to the dark side when the Sith dude explains what really happened that night and why the Jedi are responsible. I love this show. It's my favorite of all the live action ones, even more than Andor. No offense,I just like my Star Wars more fun!
Perhaps the helmet doesn't block the force as you thought, it's just that the visualisation of the face makes it easier. We know that force users don't need to move their arms and hands - I think the motion makes it easier and more fluid for them to use it? So it's probably similar to that
What a refreshing review. I had to dig through all of the toxic reviews just to get to you . Those other guys are just plain haters . I personally liked all the episodes except # 3 . This episode was like going to the movies . Mae wakes to see in the background a midnight saber battle. She can only see from the distance different lights as the Jedi desperately trying to fight off a dark force user . This guy even use his helmet to temporarily deactivate some of the Jedi sabers . I don’t think I have ever seen a forest night live action fight like this . Best 25 minutes of saber battle .
Jecki is probably one of my favorite jedi ever she’s so cool
that Kylo motif at 19:35
Nice find!!
I believe Mae abandoned her plan of turning herself in when she realized her Master was already there. She had nothing to bargain with now. She didn't think the Jedi would survive, so no point in trying to get on their good side or get caught by them (easier for the Master to get her after slaughtering the Jedi). She knew begging forgiveness from him was pointless, so she just wanted to run.
Exactly. Most people are dumb
The series is trying to explore very specific philosophical themes around this twisted "game of power" (the force) and who's got the right to wield it and why ; but also that it goes beyond "good and bad" ; and themes such as "the freedom of choice" and things like that... So yeah, I think we delve into the alternate paths that exist beyond the Jedi way, with at its core the seeds of a dramatic outcome for the galaxy in its entirety.
This very episode clearly shows the extent of the damages caused by certain specific events (related to the force and questions about its wielders) and their ripples in time...
[all the Jedi who die in this episode weren't present during the tragic events of Episode 3, but they pay the consequences of their elders, in a way ; and btw I felt exactly like you when Jecki & Yord's deaths happened]
+ Mae is now infiltrating the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, the Trojan horse way...
+ Vernestra's probably gonna take care of Qimir ; but... Always two there are... And Qimir is Koril's apprentice imo.
I think this series is powerful in many various and subtle ways [so much so that it's not appreciated by a share of the audience (but I also see many people like me who love it and what it's trying to do/say)].
...And this episode, of course I really loved, I found it Impactful on various layers and for episodes to come...
*And I care about the story and characters, then of course this episode is a huge and devastating punch in the face, even if, again, I really love what the show is trying to tell regarding the consequences of the rules applied to the "force wielding"...
PS : I 100% agree with you about the death threats and bs like these...
I think in life it's important to chill and relax when you don't like something (rather than entering wars like we see every day on social networks ; with people explaining you why you're so wrong and dumb to love this or that ; like, wtf) and simply move on, because you're eventually gonna find something to love down the line, the way there are people who actually love the things you happen not to like.
That fight was incredible quite honestly. Whether or not people do not like the overall story that fight was top tier.
Looks like the sith is wearing cortosis bracers/gauntlets
I really need to watch this episode again. I spent the entire first watch just staring at Manny Jacinto's arms
Since the premiere... And it kinda caught me off guard initially but i am comfortable with it now.. its felt like an animated show that is in live action.. a lot of the smaller conflict is immediately wrapped up so the story can progress with some layering but still easily digestible for many age groups..
This happens then this happens then this happens while all the while.. nothing happens
I love how the SITH kept changing his fighting style due to all the different Jedi, who have different fighting styles and techniques, and he blocked and defeated all of them.
Possibly Osha wants to go back to the Jedi temple to defeat them all or just to cause trouble.
OMG. What an episode !!!
I got so excited, I spilt my beer on the carpet.
😂😂
Crazy cool episode. You catch that little Kylo Ren motif at the end? I wonder if that's just a nod or if it's implying that Qimir is related to the Knights of Ren in any way...
There's a comic panel going around on Twitter of a character with strikingly close costume to Qimir saying "I am called Ren" 🤯
@@alexkramerblogs Qimir won't be Ren as Ren himself says he killed the previous Ren and that's why he's in charge of the knights of Ren.
You are my favorite reactor because you don’t let commentators control the narrative, in fact, you call them out when they take it too far. Kudos for that, because everyone is a Sith on a keyboard these days…..
This episode rocked - now can they keep it up for 3 more episodes? Are they already planning season 2? Because I’m not sure they wrap this up entirely in 3 episodes…..
just to point out. he said that jedi might call him a sith, he never called himself a sith.
despite what certain people claim, this show is a love letter to star wars lore
I don't think that the cortosis helmet blocks the Force, but maybe that Jedi need eye contact in order to read thoughts, without being invasive like a dark sider user would be. Something like that. It's great to see cortosis in live-action, the effect of shorting out the sabers was really good. Man, I want more choreography like this going forward for Star Wars.
What got me is how sol just left the 2 jedi on the ground. I was like really,?
Yeah that was dirty
Man he cut through like 6 Jedi! Also kinda cool to hear Kylos theme at the end.
Holy force that was an awesome episode, the fight scenes were amazing!!! The master with no name was badass. RIP Jecki and Yord
Great reaction! I agree the dialogue is clunky in spots, but let's be honest, that's a hallmark of Star Wars. Star Wars has never been Shakespeare. I did think the fights were well done, and I appreciate the cortosis armor pieces. I also appreciated that the Jedi were confused when their sabers shorted out. I get how Basil could be disconcerting, but I really enjoyed that he is just running around in the background doing his own thing.
The action choreography in this series has been extremely good. This episode in particular, reminds me SO MUCH of the cinematics for the video game Star Wars: The Old Republic. Darth Teeth had some Malgus level cold blooded ruthlessness as well as abilities. Favorite episode by far so far, but I think it's skewed by the incredible action sequences lol
Best reaction to this episode I've seen so far. Great job!
🎵It was Sith Qimir all along!
Mae has the mark on the left forehead. Osha has the tattoo on the right upper arm. Bazil can probably sniff out the differences of the two, as well, and he can probably fix Pip.
Mae seems to now want to hear from Sol his version of what happened when the fire was set, and I'm not sure Sol is who he says he really is.
This episode was, for me, gripping, and I can't wait for the next one.
When this Sith snapped Yord’s neck, I was sold on this episode. I never thought Disney would green light that.
Vader did it in Kenobi to a child with the force…. 🥱VADER DID IT VADER DID IT
If it was Star Wars Rebels we would probably not get this level of violence but Disney has show us brutality in the past. I understand many people have their problems with The Last Jedi but we did see Snoke get cut in half and Kylo Ren decapitate a praetorian guard where we actually see the head come off without a cutaway. At the end of that fight he even stabs a guard in the eye before turning off the saber.
In Clone Wars Maul decapitates two clones with a metal hallway piece. We don’t see the severing but we see their heads fall off. The Kenobi series showed Vader snap an older kids neck. He looked like he was in the 14-16 age range. The Bad Batch series finale also turned the violence way up than the rest of the series. Clones getting stabbed in the chest and shot up a crazy amount of times
@@brianboardwell1986 didn’t maul throw a saber through the room of pikes decapitating like 10 people or was that Savage 😂
I'd use the Sith term loosely, he didn't actually say he was Sith. Just said he had no name and the Jedi would call him Sith.
vader kills a kid in kenobi and tortures an old man by dragging him against the ground with the force
Yes! I could not wait to watch your reaction and you did not disappoint. They need to keep the lightsaber choreographer on the payroll for all of the shows!
Qimir's fighting style and his lightsaber having the smaller one within the hilt was awesome. The writing so far is wasting some great performancesand choreo. It's unfortunate because this could've been a great show, but instead it's just kinda alright.
Exactly rifht
They should have kept Jeki in, she was interesting
Betting this season ends with Osha learning the truth and she becomes The Acolyte.
Jecki was like "He's crack I'm pushing!"
That metal his armor is made out of is called cortosis it was introduced quite a while ago but never really brought into canon except a couple of books.
They COOKED with his episode
I think they surpassed the Darth Maul fight in TPM. The only drawbacks was that it was in the dark. The actual choreographed moves weren't as visible as the Maul fight had. This episode was awesome.
Pretty cool how they introduced Cortosis ore
His Bracer and Helmet are made of Cortosis. It's a type of metal that can be used to absorb blaster fire and safely redirect the energy leaving you unharmed. The nice side bonus is that it temporarily shorts out lightsabers when struck. It plays an important part in the second thrawn book that is currently Canon.
I'm devastated about Yord and Jeckie, but it did firmly establish how dangerous this is. It's kind of like GOT.. no one has plot armor.
So Sol is the sole survivor out of the 8 Jedis that confronted Qimir.
i think osha sensed when jecki was killed at 15:21. so now osha seems to be getting her power back.
She also sensed the creatures last week
I have been deva
Devastated!
It's so cool they added cortosis into the live-action and we finally get to see it in action. For people who don't know what it is, it's a rare material that is super energy-resistant, and causes a feedback loop when a lightsaber blade connects with it, causing the lightsabers to basically short out. It's energy resistant properties also allow it to absorb blaster fire, which is why the stun blast did nothing. It's pretty brittle, and any sustained attacks can cause it to break and shatter. In Legends it was introduced back in the novel "I, Jedi" which released in 1998.
19:34 minute Kylo Ren Melody strikes on , i believe its something connecting the Knights of Ren wow
I think if Mae pushed Osha against a tree it might have sold that scene better but for me that a minor complaint, this episode was excellent
Love your reviews by the way bro!
Mae and Osha are played by the same actress so she's literally doing one character and then the other and then the two scenes are spliced into one scene. She's not interacting with someone else but herself. At least I think that's the problem. I don't think they should have gone with identical twins or at least got actual identical twins to play the two roles. It may have come off as more natural then.
THis episode was like Star Wars meets GOT with all the deaths
In the extended universe they had this metal that could disable lightsabers. I remember reading a comic where Vador was trying to obtain this technology
Best episode so far. Loved the combat choreography. Gi-Hun learned a lot since his fight with Sang Woo. Lol
Fire episode, definitely gonna be one fans go back and rewatch I don’t think anybody was expecting that 👏
Am I imagining it or is there a good bit of Kyle Ren’s theme in Qimir’s theme?
The metal is cortosis, it short circuits lightsabers for a few seconds
Jecki Lon: SECOND TO NONE!!😢😔🪦
Cortosis is fibrous and generally super brittle and I think there might be some ultra chrome in the faceplate of the helmet. Honestly Phrik would be a better defense against lightsabers but it was an extremely pricey and rare metal
I still think there’s going to be a massive cover up at the end of this, I don’t think everyone who sees Qimir needs to die for the story.
Seeing him Shish Kebab two Jedi's was brutal
Good reaction. I was so crushed when Jecki was killed.
It made perfect sense she’s jinx she only has ever cared for her sister and she was gunna turn herself in when the master was off world
"This is brutal for Star Wars, man."
Well, it wasn't the first time someone gets killed by a neck break in Star Wars. Darth Vader did the same to Captain Antilles.
That cortosis armor was a really nice touch to Qmir's brutal and frenetic lightsaber style and a great nod to legends. Still remember when i first saw it on Jedi Knight: Jedi Outcast more than 2 decades ago.
Amazing fights all around this episode and i was definitely not prepared to see both Jecki and Yord getting killed like that. Also Master Sol almost gave in to his anger and te urge to strike down a unarmed oponent. Makes me all me the more curious about what he did on Brendok,
Guessing Qmir will be the one telling it to Osha while Mae will try to hide from her master amongst the Jedi. But i bet the plant wil be short lived, while Sol may be shocked about all the deaths he did saw the tattoo on Osha's arm.
🌪️ so when a weird nerdy sort of way, I went out of my way to calculate the actual runtime of the episodes of actual acting in other words, not counting end credits. So the total actual runtime for all four to five episodes would equate to a movie, actually the first four episodes would probably equate to a TV movie. Now, in my opinion just because of the pacing and the way they’ve told the stories so far instead of a season of eight episodes if they did maybe like two or three TV movies to tell the story it may have worked better but that again is all based on how each episode to me has ended each time the structure is just very weird and it’s strange because Headland comes from TV shows most recently so she shared understand how to lay out the structure better anyway we shall see how the last three episodes go, and then I will definitely rewatch everything from beginning to end to see how I feel about it.
My biggest question will be how will Master Sol will explain all of what just happened. He leaves for this mission we a bunch of Jedi and just returns utterly defeated.
I thought the mind probe was that he was blocking Sol's ability to see his face and as long as he could not see his face then he could not probe his mind.
This epiode was brutal, leslie hedland an the team is cooking with this show, and i think its like you said i think to read someones mind you need to see thei face their behaviour to make a connection, hope they dont drag the mae playing osha out there are so msny ways sol would be able to discover her deception - rest in peace yord and yecki you were too young
Ohsa hit her head on a rock like Mae would have if Sol didn't save her
this episode was epic as and cool
Smilo-Ren is the man.love the hello when may shows up
Bazil picked up Pip. There was a confused look as to what Bazil did once the Sith dropped back down from escaping those bat things. Pip also fell from thrme sky. I suspect Pip and Bazil will know right away its Mae.
Even my excitement was excited.
Been fighting with and against cortosis blades in most Star Wars RPGs and this is the first time it's looked intimidating. Peak!
13:57 I stg I thought that I heard the Rebel Friend death sound from Lego TCS🤣
I would like to see the aliens with horns and spikes use them more in combat. She could'veheadbutted Mae with those horns. lol
Such a fantastic episode! I agree with everyone that’s saying this is some of the best lightsaber combat we’ve seen in a long time! I’m still in pain from Jecki and Yord’s deaths 😭
Amazing episode!!!
Haters of the show has sent death threats to people who like it?? That’s insane! Like yeah I’ve gotten shit for liking modern Star Wars but death threats is too far omg
1:18 THANK YOU, Omni. You are right, it should not need to be said, and personally I think it's terrible that it must be. Idk if it's the anonymity the internet gives people makes them feel freer to say what they would never say to someone's face or just what. But my God, it's JUST a TV show, it's a part of the lore/fandom/breadth of the story that you can take or leave as you like. You do not need to wrap up your entire identity in whether or not the franchise conforms to YOUR way of thinking. This right here is why George said he was done with us, why he sold the franchise off. He got nothing but hate for the prequels, he got nothing but hate for the Clone Wars animated series, hell, he got all kinds of hate back in '83 when he introduced us all to the Ewoks. Ofc, with distance and time and the benefit of nostalgia, there is an entire segment of the fandom that loves Ewoks, and another that ADORES the Clone Wars Animated, and another that praises the prequels to the sky. There is nothing wrong with letting each segment of the fandom have something about it that THEY like, even if it's different from you. My distaste and impatience with the prequels chucking out all the lore that *I* grew up on doesn't stop me from enjoying the franchise with my friend who grew up on the prequels and loves them. Why can't this be the same?
If you don't like or want to engage with the High Republic era, guess what...it has no bearing on what you love from the Imperial era. Breathe deep, sit down and have a snack, and just freaking forget about it. Death threats just make you look like an idiot who can't deal with reality. We ALL eat, sleep, and breathe Star Wars. There's no reason to go off the rails if you don't like some of the content.
