If Kelleran Beq is the leader of the Hidden Path, it would be great.

5:32 Isn't that just what people who've never played it think Force Unleashed is?

[StuartLugsden]

I don't remember who said it but someone said that Huyang could have been the prime Jedi's companion. I like that idea and the idea of _The Crucible_ being their ship.

[christianshields]

The Jedi must have some ungodly brilliant engineers to keep a 25, 000 year old droid operating for all that time

[GoldSquadron]

I like how you comment on how a Sith focused game would be too violent and dark, while ignoring how Cal Kestis literally spends two games just straight up murdering... how many people?

[StuartLugsden]

Q/A How do you feel about the Galactic Starcruiser closing?

[myriadmediamusings]

If Huyang really will appear I want them to follow through with that Doctor Who in-joke from the books, that he was involved with a blue box.

I think a Sith Game would be super interesting as a kind of political thriller. Set it during the era of the High Republic and have your character be one of the sith in the "rule of 2" scenario where they can't reveal themselves to the galaxy yet. So they have to manipulate events in secret instead of directly (like in Jedi Fallen Order/Survivor) to try and bring more darkness to the galaxy. I think that way we can avoid the "power fantasy" problem you were discussing while also having a fun and engaging story where you ARE the bad guy. Cause playing as the Sith could be fun without necessarily needing to slaughter everyone with dark side abilities (though I would like to see at least a couple fights as a dark side user cause how would that not be fun).

I think the Ninth Jedi could pretty easily be folded into canon. I’d place it somewhere during the Republic Dark Age in the years prior to the rise of Bane. A lot of elements fit quite naturally here: Juro ruling over the planet like the baronial Jedi Lords from that period (Hoth, Faralla, etc.), the loss of technology, and Sith acolytes (note, they were called acolytes of the Sith, not Sith Lords - to me they were just the lackey’s). Lastly, the loss of lightsaber technology could be the Sith empire outlawing it except for the few Sith Lords at the top. Just my thoughts.

Droids in 25, 000 BBY isn't weird. The Star Wars Galaxy was at a Technological Peak in 30, 000 BBY under the Rakatan Empire. The Rakata genetically engineered most humanoid species so their slaves so they could cross-breed; Dathomirians are a Human-Zabrak hybrid. Archeologists finding ancient Rakata tech is how the Sith create their Superweapons.

Dark Disciple as a video game. Using Quinlan Voss as a Jedi and dark sider. Hopefully filling out his story some more.

[Bjhorn]

I mean Star Wars the force unleashed is kind of a sith game, force lighting and all

[jlokison]

We still need to find out why 28 years after Kelleran Beq saved Grogu their was a gang of bandits/mercenaries/pirates willing to die to the last sophont just to keep bounty hunters from either killing or kidnapping Grogu.

[soundsofgold]

The force unleashed is a sith game with over the top powers. Still a great game today.

Hey it’s my birthday and y’all answered my question!! What a great present from my favorite Star Wars creators 😊

Q/A: What are your thoughts on a "Rock 'n' Roll Rumble" / "Battle of the Bands" series involving the Max Rebo Band, DD-EC, The Agasar and others for Disney Plus or Star Wars Branded Game?

[DigiPen]

Q&A: I have seen your video on Bleeding Kyber Crystals, I was wondering about Purple Color Kyber Crystals since there wasn't much Jedi weilding Purple Lightsabers shown in Canon since we know Mace Windu has the rare ones and Cal has the optional Kyber Crystal choices. Do you think it's possible Purple Kyber Crystals were pretty rare to get in Canon Timeline or do you think Mace Windu had bleed his Kyber Crystal to Purple when he was young Padawan back then? I know that we did heard that Purple be in the middle controls both Light and Darkside and we know that 2 Legends characters we heard had them being bad at first but turned good guys later on.

First of all, I love the idea of Huyang appearing in the Dawn of the Jedi movie, though I would expect that he would look different as it makes little sense that anything not made out of plastic would be able to survive such a long time. He would more likely be a different type of droid with the same name and voice actor. Secondly, I am fairly certain that Kellran Beck is dead. I'm sure we'll see more of him in Mando season 4, I actually wouldn't be surprised if we got a whole episode that was just a flash back, but I think that the people who had Grougo in season 1 killed Beck.

Q&A: Do you think Rey’s new Jedi order will have prequel style robes, high republic style robes, or something new? What would you like to see?

[Lr.Laecro.Lirus]

With all the characters dying lately, a bad feeling tells me, that Huyang may be the next to go out. And that wouldn't require either Ahsoka, Ezra, Thrawn, Sabine or Hera to die and he still is an important character, it also would give the series an emotional core.
