I'm very intrigued by the High Republic era they've created. Marvel has been fairly consistent in putting out good Star Wars comics, though I still prefer when Dark Horse had the license. But it's hard for me to get into the Disney Star Wars novels.
I think the new bad guys look interesting. At this time period they can't use the Sith, though I imagine they will be in the background somewhere, manipulating things. The 200 years before Episode I feels a bit too close in time to the "Skywalker Saga" for my taste though.
It's funny that after the sequels crapped on the 'past' and had Ren urge Rey to 'kill it' that they've went created an era filled with Jedi Knights. They might ever admit the creative problems they had with the sequels but the High Republic is a chance for Disney to immerse itself in the joy of Star Wars lore and learn to appreciate the mythology more and maybe that will win them more new fans and old fans will come back.
