The Industry Vs Fans

I need to ask anyone who reads this which illustration better captures the essence of the character description, One is concept art from Lucasfilm, the other a fan....
So here's the official description of Avar Kriss:

Avar is the brightest, most noble example of Jedi-hood. She always tries to see the good in people and situations, and never puts herself first. She is invigorated about life on the frontier and the challenges it brings, and is an inspiration for those who work with her. She is compassionate, not dogmatic, and always ready to sacrifice herself over others. Avar Kriss is the best of the best.

Now here are 2 illustrations, which best encapsulates the above description?

A.

This is a PERFECT example of the division between fans and the industry!

And here's another perfect example from Marvel...



I'll just add my own fan art for Snowflake and Safespace....

Project Luminous/ High Republic

There was a time when I thought working at Lucasfilm was a dream job with the most talented people in the entertainment industry! But thanks to the below trailer I think I was mistaken.
This trailer for Project Luminous ripped my soul out of me!
Specifically this white board!

We have 3 columns created by a multitude of  writers, the Lucasfilm Story Group members and a bunch of suits and these bullet points are what they believe are the pillars of Star Wars are!?!

If the utter excrement that was the Sequel Trilogy killed Star Wars, this shit is robbing the grave for body parts to re create a monstrosity that only resembles it's former self on the surface!
For fucks sake Diversity...TWICE.
There is no other Fantasy/ sci fi universe that is more diverse than Star Wars! Humans, Twi lek, Ug Naught, Wookie, Ewok, Hutt, Mon Calamari, Gungan, Trandoshan, Rodian, Zabrak, Chiss, Neimoidian, Kaminoan, Devaronian, Geonosians, Bith....to name a few.

NOT PRO WAR???!!! Did these people even understand George Lucas's story???? Star Wars IS NOT PRO WAR!!!!! It's literally the opposite! Jesus Christmas Trees!!!!

Erase Actual Ending and replace with Actual Story with a beginning, Middle and Conclusion....ya know like Episodes IV, V and VI!

Dinosaurs...

I had heard about Project Luminous a few weeks ago and it sounded promising but after seeing this video with the VP of franchise content and strategy, the Sr Creative Executive for franchise story & content and the Director of Creative publishing it feels more like this project is more about selling Star Wars Stories from the Old High Republic Era like DLC and waiting to see what grabs the hearts and minds of masses.
