Repeat after me:

The Jedi taught emotional control, not repression.

The Jedi took kids with parental consent, they did not kidnap them.

The Jedi did not hold people against their will, they could leave the Order at any time.

The Jedi were not "just as bad" as the Sith.

happy twenty-first birthday to knights of the old republic, the game is finally old enough to get a drink at the best cantina in star wars:

Really fascinated by this detail--a pretty big deal is made out of the pirates at the space port being like, "Where did you get real Old Republic credits??" and wanting to steal them from the kids, but that doesn't look like the pre-Empire symbol of the prequels' Republic, and I'm hesitant to say it might be a High Republic symbol, because that is more of a peacock-style crest (assuming there's not a separate one for the Republic at that time), but I'm wondering if it's not Old Republic Old Republic. Like a thousand+ years ago Old Republic. It's pretty safe to say that At Attin has been "lost" to the greater galaxy, the legends about it at the spaceport, the illegality of space ships on the planet, knowledge of the Jedi hasn't been repressed, the deliberate feel of the planet being in another place and time, the "barrier" that hides the planet, etc. but how far back was it "lost", is the real question. The supervisor does refer to them being part of the "Great Work", so maybe it is a High Republic tie-in, to Lina Soh's Great Works, the phrasing seems pretty deliberate! But it would be interesting to consider if it's even further back than that, if this is a gentle set-up of Star Wars wanting to go further back in the timeline (the origins of the Jedi movie that's coming out in a couple of years, the teasing of redoing KOTOR, etc.) because I think that might be where Disney is setting their direction next. The post-Empire era did a lot for them with their live action shows and even this show is set in the post-Empire era (Jon Watts confirmed this), but they did a similar thing with the prequels-era books, putting in little hints and details about The High Republic before it launched. Possibly we're seeing something being set-up for diving into the Old Republic in the future. (It's probably the High Republic. But I'm holding out hope, because I think the Old Republic would be a fun era to explore!)
