    <content type="html">&amp;nbsp;So, about three years ago, a new phase in Star Wars tie-in publishing was launched. I was a bit intrigued by it: especially as YA genre fiction has been largely doing after-the-end Crapsack Worlds for a while now. Though I think they should have gone further back along the timeline to establish their setting -- perhaps the Kymoodon Era (15 000 years before the films) or the Waymancy Storm conflicts (about 11 000 years before the films). But more on lore another day.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, using Imgflip, I couldn't help but riff on the overarching title for this new and ambitious transmedia project:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://i.imgflip.com/4ulqoy.jpg" alt="Kevin Smith, as Silent Bob, brandishing a lightsaber. Text at the bottom of the image reads &amp;quot;Star Wars: The High Republic&amp;quot;. D&amp;#39;you get it?" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, that one (if you've seen it) is.... well, I can't copyright it, as Silent Bob belongs to View Askew Productions and Star Wars, of course, is still firmly in Disney's grip. But this was my take on the title.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=van_champion&amp;ditemid=4129" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/&gt; comments</content>
