Correlation not causation.

Everybody in High Republic is gay, everybody in High Republic dies.

Killing Jecki is not burying your gays

It's literally just how the era is.

Go pick up the books (or audiobooks) we have lesbians that are still alive, learn about Vernestra while you're at it she's friends with two.

Queer Star Wars Characters (Round 2): General Bracket Match 4

Leox Gyasi | Identity: aro/ace | Media: The High Republic Phase I

Leox Gyasi was the pilot/captain of the ship the Vessel, who ended up entangled in the discovery of the Drengir on the Amaxine station, a diplomatic mission with the Hutts, and the fall of Starlight Beacon, becoming a trusted ally of the Jedi. He was created to be an extreme subversion of the archetypical Han Solo-inspired scoundrel archetype. He’s a space hippie and what you’d get if Yoda wasn’t a Jedi and smoked spice instead. 

He crews the Vessel with his found family consisting of the living rock Geode (who does fuck) and the young Affie Hallow- who became the captain of the Vessel after the dissolution of the Bryne Guild. He’s a fun guy with an appearance inspired by 90s Mathew McConaughey.

Sylvestri Yarrow | Identity: lesbian | Media: The High Republic Out of the Shadows

Sylvestri Yarrow was raised by her mother, Chancy Yarrow, on her ship, the Switchback. She raised her daughter to be cynical and taught her a lot of navigational and survival skills. This training couldn’t destroy Sylvestri’s moral compass and good first instinct entirely, but made her distrustful of the Republic and Jedi. For a time, she lived on the planet Tikkae, where she fell in love with Jordana Sparkburn- a member of the San Tekka family who ruled the frontier planet. But Chancy always kept moving. When the Yarrows were about to leave, she asked Jordana to come with her to travel the galaxy, but Jordana decline because of her duties as a San Tekka. They left on poor terms.

Two weeks later, the Switchback was attacked by Nihil raiders, who seemingly killed Chancy. At eighteen, Sylvestri was on her own with nothing but her mother’s ship, a co-pilot, and an ancient security droid. Because of the trade instability caused by the Nihil and Great Disaster, her finances were not doing well when she was suddenly pulled out of hyperspace by the Nihil. 

To inform the Republic about this new Nihil weapon, she traveled to Coruscant where she met the wealthy Xylan Graf who revealed that her mother was a hyperspace scientist and possibly had been kidnapped rather than killed by the Nihil. To investigate the possibility that the Nihil were building a mass shadow generator, she ended up teaming up with the Jedi Vernestra Rwoh, Imri Canatros, Reath Silas, and Cohmac Vitus; Xylan Graf; and Jordana Sparkburn . The novel follows them as they investigate a tangled web of Nihil conspiracy and Sylvestri grapples with new revelations about her past.

In the end, Sylvestri and Jordanna take their new ship to take up a job opportunity with Maz Kanata. Jordana is willing to join her because the San Tekka settlement on Tikae was destroyed by the Nihil earlier in the book.
