"If this is the first generation of mutants, there are mysteries around it. Things that people have pointed out online and the characters themselves have pointed out is, how can there be mutants before there were humans? How could all this exist without us knowing about it?"

Star Wars: Hidden Empire #1

“This new story is designed to deliver the big finale to Qi’ra’s story — at least this phase of it. She emerged from years of hiding with an elaborate, incredible plan to bring down the Sith, and Hidden Empire is the endgame. It brings in players from all over the Star Wars universe, from Darth Vader to Doctor Aphra to the Knights of Ren, and I think it’ll be really satisfying — but tragic. As I had a character say in the very first issue of Crimson Reign, Qi’ra’s story is a tragedy. But… in a good way.” -- Charles Soule

For me, the core reason why the Eternals didn't work in the Marvel universe is they had no fundamental tragedy. Spider-Man didn't become Spider-Man when he was bit by the spider; Spider-Man became Spider-Man when Uncle Ben died. This is opposed to DC characters, which (in broad strokes) are more about a fallen world. Wonder Woman is literally sent from heaven to earth to save us all; Thor is sent from heaven to earth because he's a dick. -- Kieron Gillen
