Embrace the Power of The High Republic for a Live-Action Series
Greetings, Disney,
I am Darth Vader, and I come before you to present an idea of tremendous potential. An idea proposed by the insightful Maria Espino on X (Twitter). She suggested a live-action TV show set in The High Republic era, focusing on Dagan Gera versus the Nihil and the events leading to that invasion. This concept has all the elements required for a spectacular series or even a feature film.
“Hey @starwars — how about you give us a live-action TV show from THR that is focused on Dagan Gera vs. the Nihil and what led to that invasion???? THANKS!!!!!!!
You have the formula for a GREAT TV SHOW right there…. like right there…. whyyyyy…… wouldn’t you use it????
I mean you have Cody Fern (voice of Dagan Gera) and Tracy Ifeachor (voice of Santari Khri), and D.C. Douglas (voice of Rayvis) — all amazing talent with live-action experience to boot — literally a phone call away… that’s the show about The High Republic I’d want to see. OR hell… make it into a movie!”
