Part 10/12:
Adding to the controversy is the uneven scheduling—The High Republic has faced delays, with release dates pushed back ostensibly due to COVID-19. Conversely, other Lucasfilm projects, like a Thrawn novel, have been moved up unexpectedly. Critics speculate that this discrepancy points to ongoing rewrites or internal struggles within the production teams, possibly reflecting discomfort or uncertainty about the current storyline choices.
The delay raises questions about whether the High Republic will stick to its initial vision or undergo further modifications before release. It appears that Disney and Lucasfilm are cautious about how this new era will be received, especially given the complex reactions to the characters and creative decisions so far.
