Lucasfilm really have to stop announcing feature films and then hope everyone just forgets about them when they run into production troubles (although my bet is still on Rogue Squadron happening at some point)

The High Republic era has so much more potential than what you could fit into a film aimed completely at children. That feels wrong, since the main books have been actually very dark in tone and featuring adult themes. ‘Kid’s films’ can still be great (one can argue Star Wars was always primarily marketed towards young audiences) but I can’t help but feel that the HR era and its amazing writers are being short-changed here, if the rumour is true.
