Choose Your Destiny - Variant Covers by Chris Sprouse

While I definitely consider myself to be on the "pro Jedi" side of the fandom, I do think people take that to extremes.

In my opinion, I do think it is absolutely possible to be pro Jedi while still being able to admit and/or recognize that the Jedi are not infallible.

The Jedi Order has made mistakes. By the time of the Prequels, they're making quite a few. Yes, a lot of those mistakes were practically forced onto them, but some were not.

I think the High Republic does such a great job at showing the Golden Age of the Jedi, showing that these were some of the greatest Jedi to ever exist, but, at the same time, showing that they still make mistakes and have flaws.

The Jedi's flaws and mistakes do not define them.

Maybe I'm wrong. But that’s just how I see things.

Someone: Anakin fell because he had a series of bad days! If he didn't have them he would have been fine!

Way to ignore the tusken massacre and the way Anakin threw the clones lives away the second someone he dimmed more important was in danger, he didn't turn bad over night nor from a week to another

"It is a deliberate path to the dark, not a series of bad days." - Jedi Master Sskeer, Chapter 23, Star Wars The High Republic: A Test Of Courage by Justina Ireland

Can we discuss how the High Republic character encyclopedia labels phase 3 as being from 229 BBY-220 BBY. WTF DO YOU MEAN PHASE 3 LASTS NINE YEARS?! And with only Tempest Breaker and then the final books, there is no way an eight year (since ToTF is in 228 BBY) jump makes any sense other than a potential epilogue being a several year time jump. I’m curious what others think because I find it wild that they listed this.

“It’s as Master Yoda always says, once you walk the dark path-- it’s forever in your heart.” VINDICAAAAAATION BECAUSE YES THAT’S WHAT IT MEANS, BOTH IN THE HIGH REPUBLIC AND IN THE PREQUELS AND IN THE ORIGINALS. THIS IS THE SAME EXACT THING AS “ONCE YOU START DOWN THE DARK PATH, FOREVER WILL IT DOMINATE YOUR DESTINY.” It’s not that you can’t return to the light, but that your actions and your fall will forever be a part of you, they will forever be a path that you’ve walked and it will be easier to do it again than if you’d never done it once. It will be something that you will always be walking away from.

I don't know if anyone in the Star Wars fandom has been keeping up with the High Republic comics, but in the most recent issue there was a whole mission to save a Force-sensitive child from the experiments of the nefarious Baron Boolan of the Nihil.

The "away team" on this mission was the Jedi Sskeer, Tey Sirrek and everyone's favorite badass Twi'lek, Lorna Dee.

(Look at that badass entrance!)

The reason the only Jedi that's going on this mission is Sskeer is because of the Nameless, the beasts that eat the Force and kill Jedi. Since Sskeer's connection to the Force is so diminished, it makes him perfect for this.

All of this aside, things go pear-shaped, as they do in Star Wars, and Lorna Dee and the child they're their to rescue almost get got by one of Boolan's monsters, only for Keeve Trennis to show up at the last minute to save the day... and their lives.

This is a very remarkable feat because the Jedi are rendered virtually defenseless around the Nameless because of the latter's Force-eating abilities. But the fact that Keeve managed to overcome that because she heard the cries of Lorna and the Yacombe girl, is amazing.

The Jedi's compassion is what allows them to overcome those things that were thought to be insurmountable. I love that!

The High Republic era may seem like a nostalgic look back at the times when the Republic and Jedi Order were at the height of their respective services to the people, but, in reality, it is a slow burn tragedy.
