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?

Edited by Dessart: 5/6/2025 7:53:08 PMDidn't like when they started adding cosmetics based on other IP, but sure, they were adapted so they would fit the vibe. The latest ones kinda push the boundaries a lot, since since we are now we get straight up characters with basically zero changes. To see a game that has such a rich universe slowly following the playbook of other service games it's a bit sad since Destiny always did its own thing. And now seeing this expansion which lives in a very weird place... it's not great. I'm not surprised there's a lot of apprehension in general, considering we've seen stuff like Magic doing small collaborations here and there now every other set of theirs is gonna be based on a known IP.
