I hope it’s more than nods and references to the Legends Dawn of the Jedi. It should be an adaptation of that storyline. I’m not saying you need a 1:1 translation of every page, but I would love to see Disney try a faithful adaptation of a Legends storyline for once. Bring it into Disney canon and modernize the presentation for sure, but don’t completely rewrite things and then toss in a few minor easter eggs to the comics and novels. Let us see the Rakata and the Force Hounds as the villains, show the Tho Yor and all the old lore that made the era so rich.
This is where I am at with the project. I hope and want it to be a like-for-like adaptation, though if it isn’t, or is yet another low-level entry into modern Star Wars, then at least we’ll still have the original engaging and revered comic books.
Mangold does tend to do “epic” well, so I hope he is left alone and undisturbed by Disney to complete this.
