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!”
Character Breakdown
Dagan Gera
\Dagan Gera, a formidable Jedi Knight, faced off against the notorious Nihil in an era rife with danger and intrigue. His story is one of heroism and tragedy, making it a perfect focal point for a series. The complex relationship between Dagan and the Nihil offers rich storytelling opportunities, delving into themes of conflict, loyalty, and the struggle between light and darkness.
Santari Khri
Santari Khri, another prominent Jedi, brings wisdom and strength to the narrative. Her connection to Dagan Gera and her own battles against the Nihil add depth to the storyline. Her presence ensures that the series or movie would not only be action-packed but also emotionally resonant, showcasing the enduring spirit of the Jedi Order.
Rayvis
Rayvis, a character whose loyalty to the Nihil is unwavering, provides a compelling antagonist. His interactions with both Dagan Gera and Santari Khri would create intense, memorable scenes. Exploring his motivations and the dynamics within the Nihil could add layers of intrigue and suspense to the plot.
