All good things have an end
When you love doing something you wished:
a) you'd have the time and drive to always keep doing it
b) nobody would pressure you to go one or another direction
c) people would respect the things you create
It really only comes down to that, except when you get hired to do that you better not get attached to the things and the people you work with. It's good for quality and bad for business, in KT's case this is true from A to Z. Needless to say I was excepting this to happen.
Today for me is a real life reassessment of True Colors: watching Jusik resigning from the Jedi Order meant never having a chance to see him in action in the Clone Wars again, but at the same time I was relieved and happy that he found his freedom. It was only a matter of time before Karen would take a similar path.
Now I'm only hoping that she has wonderful things to say in the two Imperial Commandos, so we can say a proper farewell to her characters. If another author would pick them up then I'd be extremely interested in reading a different take on Kal Skirata, the Commandos, and of course Bardan. These characters would then become more than just the instruments of one person in the GFFA, it would make them more canon.
I don't believe the Mandalorian culture as we know it now will be changed or erased from the EU because of Karen's departure from Star Wars. In fact we can bet that someone else will carry the series on, or even make Mandalorians the heroes of new adventures.
All good things have an end, it's up to us to leave them in the past and enjoy the future in a different way.
