We are about to enter a new arc that puts Keeve in a pretty interesting scenario and right in the middle of this brand-new criminal syndicate.
#Star wars the high republic series#
The one thing that the Star Wars: The High Republic series has done pretty well is give readers unconventional Star Wars villains that aren’t governments, dictators, or Sith. We get a short glimpse at the Nihil towards the end of this issue. CONFIRMATION Lucasfilm officially confirmed that The High Republic will be split into three phases namely Light of the Jedi, Quest of the Jedi, and Trials of the Jedi. We also get some classic spaceship dogfighting action as well. And now, an interesting tidbit about Star Wars: The High Republic has emerged, teasing fans of what to expect about the upcoming project. The pacing by writer Cavan Scoot is excellent as he pulls us back and forth from the present to the past until everything starts to make sense.
The opening pages present so many questions as it will leave readers a bit confused at first. What I like about this is the pacing of the storytelling. Tensions are running high, and our lead characters have decided to take things into their own hands. Obviously, the Jedi who took down the Dregnir are the ones who want to end the Nihil the most, especially when the Dregnir did so much damage across the galaxy. It just seems The High Republic era isn’t as harmonious and unified as we’ve been led to believe. It’s interesting seeing the Jedi so divided on an issue, especially when evidence has shown they should be more decisive. Instead, they would rather fight the Nihil in small battles around the galaxy. Despite thousands dying at the Republic Fair, the heads of the Jedi Order and Starlight Beacon are stalling their feet at stopping the Nihil at the root of the problem. If Star Wars has taught us anything, it’s that a Jedi’s true enemy will always be and has always been politics. However, at the end of the last issue, the Jedi found out that they were all a distraction for the Nihil to attack the Republic Fair on Valo. With Dregnir finally defeated, the dark side knockoff of Audrey II from Little Shop of Horrors no longer poses a threat to the galaxy. No, she doesn’t play that big of a role in this issue of The High Republic, but she might very well be my favorite character from this series so far. I just wanted to say that before we started this review. Writer: Cavan Scott / Artist: Ario Anindito / Marvel Comics
