Part 2/9:
When the project was first announced, it seemed to be a continuation of Lucasfilm’s tendency to revisit and repurpose elements from the now-discarded expanded universe—specifically, the Dawn of the Jedi series, which detailed the early days of the Jedi Order and their origins. The premise intrigued many fans, offering a chance to explore a time when the Jedi were in their infancy, before the rise of the Sith and the Galactic Republic. It was expected to be a bold look into the roots of the Jedi, promising an epic saga set millennia before the Skywalker saga.
