More information on tech will be forthcoming.
We won't be returning to this timeline again. Once it ends, there's really nothing that happens of note in the Star Wars story until Episode I. For example, once this timeline is over, the Rule of Two is in place and there's no way to do a timeline with a dark side faction. It'd be trade disputes and the like, lol.
That's how Legends depicted it. We'll be doing our own thing. So I wouldn't lean into Legends as an idea for the feel of the era.
I think that the transition of war into peace, the Jedi becoming essentially an extended police force, the layers of organised and devious crime syndicates on the rise as well as political jostling as a galaxy re-assembles into a peaceful veneer over crashing waves would be fun to play in. Though there's very little canon info about the era of the new republic leading up to episode I outside of extended character backstories, that I've been able to read.
While I agree that what you're describing is very interesting, what we've found over the years is that when we try timelines or things that don't involve the Jedi or the Sith, they don't really attract interest. Or if there's some sort of darker presence that isn't Sith, that players ultimately morph them into pseudo-Sith. Because Star Wars at the end of the day is a story about the dark side vs the light, so that aspect still needs to be there. But we're going to be doing new things in this next timeline that we've never done before, so we're excited for that.
