The Sith imbalanced the Force by abandoning the Dark Side’s tenants. The Dark Side is all “Kill the Past” yet the Sith don’t let anything go even their grudge against the Jedi and it results in the Sith corrupting the Light to Darkness then consuming itself like a cancer!
George Lucas oversaw the Mortis Arc and in it the Balance was equal Light and equal Dark… The cancer is not the Dark Side but the Sith.
The Sith corrupted the Jedi Order(whose Grandmaster Yoda was already consumed by the Dark Side due to a lifetime of war) to the Dark Side using the Clone Wars according to Star Wars Rebels then killed them! They also killed the Dark Side aligned Nightsisters.
True, but I don’t think you can conclude from it that there should always be Dark Side force users to balance out the Light Side force users. At best, you could say it’s one potential interpretation among many, but I don’t think that lines up with anything else Lucas has said on the topic.
Yes, that I agree with.
There’s a lot of naysaying on this board regarding the Army of the Light as a potential future villain, but I actually like the idea a lot. Picture it: orderly rows of uniformed paladins and priests goose stepping through Stormwind. An enemy that’s not just out to kill everyone or destroy the world, but one that wants to convert you. Characters like Turalyon and Anduin having to decide where their loyalties lie. Who will convert? Who will resist?

They will first appear in Netherlight Temple and thus make a bad first impression due to the Shadow Priests there.
The Shadow Priests that manage to escape will warn Anduin and Velen who will obviously not work with the Lightbound. Faol might work with the Lightbound as might Calia and Derek…
The Lightforged Undead are likely doomed to join the Lightbound in the end thus validifying the Scarlet Brotherhood’s stance against the Undead. The Scarlet Brotherhood won’t be on the Alliance’s side nor the Lightbound’s.
Did you forget what a certain floating chandeleir tried to do to a certain demon hunter? The Naaru are singlemindedly focused to either the Light or Shadow depending on their current aspect. And some of them will go full Dark Kosh when they’re in Light Mode.
A’dal and his lot were pretty chill. Xe’ra was the extremist.

I miss A’dal.
Shame they have to shelve him to push the Light bad meme

A’dal was ok with Illidan actions until the attack on Shattran with the forces of Kael’thas(which at that point he was aligned to the legion) but he didn’t know that and was deceived. Wonder how he would feel currently after Illidan defeated the legion.
I really hope and pray blizz just forgets this light crusade. We all get it tge entire eorld gets it any extereme one way or the other is bad. This is all just to me a habd wave as to why the brown orcs joined and why the hodre dosent get an insanly huge army for it.

I don’t see them forgetting it since they want to branch out in creating more enemies with the rooster going down with the likes of the The Scourge, the Burning Legion, and soon to be The Naga being defeated. However I don’t see Yrel and the Lightbound being the main enemy of an expansion, more like a Side B plot that is solved in the beginning or the first patch.
That sounds horrid they really shoukd never have saud the twisting neather connects all timelines so an AU legion coukd still attack there and the light crusade would not he a thing.
Presumably becasue Yrel with her Villain bonus has managed to eliminate the bulk of the race and all that’s left are the survivors.
I wish Crusader Yrel and her Draenei were the AR faction that joined up with the Alliance rather than Turalyon’s Draenei faction. The former has a lot more reason to throw their lot in with the Alliance.

Am … I the only one that actually sort of likes the potential storytelling that could come from this path of Yrel narrative? WoD (and Yrel) were a botched expansion with a half-done storyline (one with the entire middle arc gutted). Her character arc was bland, with the underlying architecture essentially being the exact same as Talanji, Mayla, and Geya’rah (a young, idealistic woman thrust into a position of power before she was ready, due to the “death” of a “father” figure). However, due to WoD getting rushed … Yrel’s version of that arc was equally rushed (and it hurt its value)
Taking this path … might actually make something interesting out of that forgettable world and story. At the very least … the basic themes and parallels have promise.

We apparantly needed a villainised Y’rel to create the Mag’har faction.
Retcons are stupid.

Nope. I love the story potential.
What is the retcon?

It’s the only way a race can join the Horde: If the Alliance (or in this case, an organisation that is loosely aligned with the Alliance) does something that is inexplicably evil but never acknowledged again.
