Only positive I can really give at the moment is that the trailer at least looked more like SW than the last 6 dismal years of content. The aliens were on point, no foreskin freaks, the architecture and visuals are also on point.

In terms of visuals, my only grievance is that once again they seem to be over relying on the same set of ships and vehicles like the Disney Trilogy did for the two main factions despite the Empire's wide array of vehicles in old material.
Hell since they're on a water planet, now would be a good time to bring back the turtle walkers.

But did they really need to bring back Hoth again? That planet's been milked to death at least in old canon. Then again this could just be another donut steal. Regardless, its looking to be Filoni wankfest, but if they're at least smart enough to put this in its own continuity separate from the Disney Trilogy, then there might be something salvageable here.
Anyway, in other news:
1: Part of the shitty new Vader comic got leaked on purpose along with the High Republic one as a promotional thing, however they haven't been colored in yet. True to their claims, the comic would serve as an obnoxious tie-in to Plan IX where Vader goes to meet the "Oracle" from the deleted scene from IX that was leaked on 4chan who tells Emo Ren where to go. In other words, the comic's whole purpose is to explain what the wayfinder is and how Kylo Ren found it because Marvel's sole purpose is to try and fill up IX's plot holes while offering nothing original or entertaining in return.

Spider Bitch is even uglier than in the concept art. In short the whole thing is an "arc" that will tie-in to IX and feature a cameo by Kylo Ren or some bullshit like that because they don't want us to forget their travesty. They also brought back to the land of the living that Filoni OC villain from Aladdin's Rebels as a Sith Wraith specter cuz you know this is how they're gonna keep milking Maul and Filoni's beloved Savage Opress among others.
2: Wookieepedo refuses to add Ridley's revelation about nothing being planned to their site along with any other leaks. The only exception being the Aphra, Vader and High Republic shit because those leaks are corporate approved. And this used to be a site that would even post criticisms and inconsistencies back in the day, but can't let you offend
Daddy Mommy Disney now can we?
3: Here are some pages from the High Republic comic's first issue, with the cover featuring the girl with ugly cowpie hair named after Karen Traviss and the blonde girl with a costume redesign.

The comic apparently features references to other Marvel shit, including Aphra-sue and the
Lando Landonis comics via aliens and locations. Story starts off on the planet of the ximpi pixies that Aphra and Landonis met once.
4: The official Galaxy's Edge VR game trailer and teasers came out two days ago and hilariously enough no one gave a shit, with the videos in question not even being able to break past 20k and 5k views. The trailer also features R2 and 3PO as the guides of the park despite having no presence within the actual park itself.

In contrast to the Mandalorian trailer which is at 7 million views, this is a pretty notable drop here. Even the Sims GE update got hate views at least.
5: Speaking of the Mandalorian show, Boba's jetpack is being carried by the main character at one point which makes me think he's going to be kept dead for Wendig's OC or what's-his-face is going to try and find Boba.
6: Had some spare time today so I decided to take a crack at making Disney's foreskin aliens look like familiar ones or fit in better with the setting.
