Is this Destiny or Disney?
Is anyone else completely turned off by this Star Wars crossover?
I don’t know about you all, but I find the idea of building a whole DLC around a Star Wars sponsorship incredibly disappointing. I’m here to play Destiny not participate in a Disney themed event. Crossovers are one thing when they’re limited to cosmetics or small events, but centering an expansion around another franchise feels like the game is slowly losing its identity.
It’s starting to feel like Destiny is taking a page from Fortnite whoever pays enough gets to shape the game’s direction. And that’s not what made this universe special in the first place. We’ve got decades of rich lore, original characters, and complex storylines. Why are we sidelining all that for another company’s IP?
This just seems like a strange move, and to me, it cheapens the experience. Curious to hear what others think are you excited about this Star Wars content, or do you feel like it’s a step in the wrong direction?

12 RepliesThis is what happens when you green light anything “new” with no thought to consistent or theme. The retcon of the Nine is a good example. Take whatever leftovers there are, despite there being foundational lore about them, and retcon it into something new you can then claim is exciting. The Nine are younger than the Hive technically speaking, they didn’t achieve consciousness until humanity evolved. Whereas the Hive are older than Earth. And I’m supposed to believe they can manipulate time and knew this could be an outcome? If they are going to retcon recycle everything, that’s not hyping me at all. It’s fanfiction.
