How do you feel when an established
story is given a sequel but the thematic material is entirely
reimagined, producing a story that does not follow your expectations?
You have probably seen reports about how fans have become angry when
one of their favorite shows or movies is given a sequel that
drastically and uncharacteristically changes the details and
direction of the original story line. Many Star Wars fans, for
example, have been very upset with "The Last Jedi," because
director Rian Johnson did little to work within the established lore
of the universe. As an example, Rian rewrote the iconic, heroic
character of Luke Skywalker as what some would describe as a brooding, ineffectual loser. The
recent Joker movie is another example of writing that many have said
totally ignores the established background of a character that has
been known by fans for decades. Though creative license can sometimes
improve upon a cultural legacy like Star Wars, it can also have a
result reflecting the "too many cooks in the kitchen" idiom
as the overall quality begins to suffer.
As seven alien races struggle to co-exist in an uneasy alliance, the Inter-Stellar Union sends Union Guard agents on missions to preserve the crucial balance. These specialized operatives must do what regional security cannot, dealing with smugglers, pirates, terrorists, and even greater challenges in order to bring stability to a universe that needs it desperately. Without the Union Guard, the races will not be prepared to face a looming alien threat they can only hope to defeat together.
