PC Gaming

It has an amazing lore and an amazing world to build on. Please don't fuck this up (as well)

Given Amazon's track record with adaptations, I'm not holding my breath but hopefully, I'll be pleasantly surprised.

I have hope, and I will give it a chance,, but honestly if the Halo show, Star Wars sequel trilogy (I will never not be salty about that), and seemingly everything nu-trek—whitewashing Khan, changing the look of Klingons, contradicting TOS's explanation of the Federation's prison system, and (recently) changing the year of the Bell Riots, among other things—is any indication, it will probably just be writers throwing lore out of the window when it isn't conducive to what they want to write.

Sadly, with few exceptions, it seems the reality is like this:

Most writers in the past when the lore contradicts the story they want to write: "Let's throw out our story and write another that respects the preestablished lore!"

Most writers today when the lore contradicts the story they want to write: "How dare it contradict my story! Throw out the preestablished lore!"

That being said, like I said at the top, I have hope, but only because shows like Andor and The Mandalorian gave me hope. And frankly they seem uncommon among the landscape of shows/movies with rich lorebases these days.

Interesting that it will apparently be considered Canon to the video games.
