For Light and Life! We are all the Republic! On Thursday afternoon at Star Wars Celebration, the authors and executives behind the massive The High Republic publishing initiative took to the stage to reflect on phase one of the project as well as look forward to phase two, subtitled "Quest of the Jedi," which begins [...]
The upcoming Obi-Wan Kenobi series will see the iconic Jedi Master face off against his former pupil, the formidable Sith Lord Darth Vader, but he will also face off with plenty of other villains who wield red lightsabers.

One of the most frightening aspects of phase one of the High Republic storytelling was the Nameless, a mysterious species who pose a particular threat to the Jedi. We don't know much about them, but do come to learn gradually more as the stories unfold. The first appearance of this strange species came in The [...]
The second issue of Charles Soule's Crimson Reign miniseries focuses on the two assassins, Ochi and Deathstick, who carry out some missions that fit into Qi'ra's larger plans. The five-issue series is illustrated by Steven Cummings and Victor Olazaba, and both the storytelling and the artwork are superb. Though this second issue wasn't exceptional, it [...]
In Solo: A Star Wars Story, Han doesn't have a family and takes the name "Solo" because he is, well, alone. But that doesn't mean he's forgotten where he came from; he's just moved on from it. Because he does remember his father, and he talks about him at times - and we may have [...]

The brand-new era launched in January 2021 and is reaching the end of its first phase a little over a year later. There are three phases in total in the [...]
In The Book of Boba Fett Chapter 2, "The Tribes of Tatooine," it was revealed that the Twins have laid claim of the planet. These twin Hutts were believed by Boba Fett to be preoccupied with the debauchery of Nal Hutta, but instead decided to claim the planet that once was ruled by their cousin, [...]
The third issue of the Trail of Shadows mini-series recently released, furthering the Jedi and Republic joint investigation into the Nihil's mystery weapon just as Marchion Ro closes in on the Nihil traitor. This was the third of five issues, meaning we are now over halfway through the story! I'm expecting it to only continue [...]
