We know something bad's likely going to happen to Baby Yoda in The Mandalorian–he doesn't show up in Force Awakens. Kathleen Kennedy reportedly urged the writing team on the High Republic project to be "bold." Though we've seen some great stories in Disney's continuation of Star Wars, all of them have been restrained by the storylines with which they coincide. While we don't know many details other than the titles of those books, the excitement in Disney's announcement video is nonetheless contagious. The High Republic stories will kick off in August 2020 with three novels and two comic book series. With all the exhausting expectations that are attached to cinematic trilogies, though, you can imagine the head honchos at Disney are anxious to get away from the trilogy format– can't make a bad third movie if your movies don't come in threes! But they didn't mention anything about a Star Wars MCU. Disney's announcement matched a lot of Ward's claims–the Jedi are described as being at the height of their powers, there are mysterious new villains who seem darker and more dangerous than the Sith, and the whole thing has a Knights of the Round Table vibe. Each of them, according to him, would have movies of their own, not unlike the interconnected storylines of the Marvel's Cinematic Universe.

Star Wars has a chance to go some place new. No more Darth Vader, no more X-Wings, no more Stormtroopers. Depending on the reception of the books, it wouldn't be surprising if the entire franchise veered away from the bleak outer space wrestling match between the Rebels and the Empire, and finally decided to head into uncharted territory, where the name "Han Solo" is about as significant as a glass of blue milk. The post on made clear that The High Republic–which had formerly been known as "Project Luminous," if you've been keeping up with the leaks–will not "overlap any of the filmed features or series currently planned for production." But that's not to say we will never see the old days of the Republic on film and TV.
