This Tuesday, we’re taking back our Republic … whether *he* likes it or not.

Make a plan. Take a friend. Join with the millions who are voting so that democracy doesn’t die with thunderous applause.

I can't believe we're going back to the greatest space station in the galaxy!

Ugh, I'm such an idiot. 🤦‍♀️

I'm a huge High Republic fan, but I totally didn't catch the Chancellor's Great Works when they brought it up on Skeleton Crew.

On the bright side, this pretty much confirms my theory that At Attin became isolated sometime during the High Republic era.

But the Great Works were supposed to connect the larger galaxy, not hide away. My guess would be that the Republic established a settlement there, and that the Nihil Crisis + Occlusion Zone cut it off.

Avar Kriss/Elzar Mann

Post- The Fallen Star, epilogue, hurt/comfort, angst, grief/mourning, unfortunately mostly canon compliant.

In the aftermath of the Starlight Beacon crash, the survivors have no choice but to carry on as best they can. The remaining Jedi attempt to mitigate the damage on Eiram's surface. Avar Kriss and Elzar Mann find comfort in one another as they try to process their grief. Lina Soh faces the collapse of her greatest ambitions. And Vernestra Rwoh learns who Starlight took with it when it crashed.

Excerpt:

Avar sat down on the edge of the bed. Stood up again. Folded her clothes. Folded them again. Walked to the window. Turned away from the view of the sea where Starlight lay. 

Kriff, she couldn’t stay here. The silence was deafening, the loneliness overwhelming. She slipped her boots on, grabbed her cloak, and stepped out into the corridor. The only destination she had in her mind was not a place, but a person. It didn’t matter that she didn’t know exactly where in the building she was going: the Force guided her steps, a siren’s song calling her to the ocean’s edge. 

(Continued under the cut)

Her knuckles had barely brushed the surface of the door when it opened to reveal Elzar on the other side. He did not look surprised to see her there. He didn’t look dressed either.

Anything Avar had been going to say vanished from her mind. Instead, she looked him up and down. ‘Do you often answer the door shirtless?’ she asked.

Elzar grinned, and for a moment he looked like himself again. ‘Only when I know it’s you on the other side.’ His expression sobered somewhat. ‘Are you okay?’

If it had been anyone else, Avar would have lied. But he wasn’t anyone else, he was Elzar Mann - the one person who knew her better than the rest of the galaxy combined.

‘No,’ she said quietly. ‘Can I…’ She trailed off, then swallowed hard. ‘I can’t be by myself tonight.’

Elzar said nothing. He just stepped aside to let her in.

What is this "Great Work" that everyone keeps talking about in Skeleton Crew, though? It can't be from Palpatine, right??

Disclaimer: this is all, of course, speculation, as nothing was confirmed in the series.

It's interesting that you bring up Palpatine, as he did have multiple contingency plans in case he ever met his demise. One of these was Operation Cinder, an orbital bombardment campaign meant to punish the Galactic Empire for failing to prevent his death. Considering the Supervisor mentioned the Jedi being traitors, it is a possibility that the Great Work mentioned in Skeleton Crew was one of the contingency plans concocted by Palpatine. With how much wealth is stored in the vaults, it's possible that At Attin served as a personal wealth caché for Palpatine outside of the Banking Clans that he was utilizing to fund certain projects, such as the the sentinal messenger droids that relay his posthumous instruction for Operation Cinder to loyal Imperial officers, or other secretive, darkside schemes like his cloning in The Rise of Skywalker.

However, some of us that have delved into the High Republic believe it is possible that the Great Work is actually in reference to Chancellor Lina Soh's Great Works projects from the High Republic era (which, for those who are unfamiliar with this era, takes place about 150 years prior to the prequels).

With the mention of the currency on At Attin being "Old Republic credits," it's possible they are talking about the High Republic. Also, they teach about the Jedi in a positive way in their schools, despite the Supervisor's last message received from the Republic.

Chancellor Soh's Great Works projects ranged from bacta cultivation (as bacta healing wasn't a researched, sustainable form of healing yet) to their creation of the Starlight Beacon, a massive space station meant to connect the outer-rim to the central government at Coruscant; to the restoration of ecologically damaged planets and other technological advancements. It wouldn't be hard to add whatever the Barrier surrounding At Attin is as one of these Great Works projects, or even just having At Attin be a sort of test to see if a droid-run utopia were possible to cultivate, where there is peace and safety for generations as they are secluded from the Galaxy at large.

I would not be surprised at a season 2 announcement where we would be exploring more about At Attin and the other planets that were said to be lost to the galaxy. (I haven't been online, so I'm unaware of any news about renewal.)

call me delusional but i am convinced that tak rennod was a nihil marauder and that at attin is one of lina soh's great works that was kept hidden. i will stay delusional until proven wrong.

I still think the Great Work on At Attin is one of Lina Soh’s Great Works originally meant to benefit the High Republic.

It fits too perfectly with the classic Star Wars theme of corruption in the Senate, the last surviving Great Work being the one that literally prints money.

[uwingdispatch]

High republic babes, I made you something super cool!!!

These keychains are designed to feel like something Lina Soh gave to folks at the launch of Starlight beacon.

The text over the top says STARLIGHT BEACON in Aurebesh. The bottom says COMMEMORATIVE LAUNCH 7745 CRC. They are printed on marbled acetate.

CRC is the Coruscant Reckoning Calendar that was used pre-empire. (It also appears in Andor on Maarva’s funerary brick.)

Shop is here. Enjoy!

[apollodreams]

Holy shit I didn't think Lina Soh was gonna die at all :( I liked her a lot

[jewishcissiekj]

Hey look I finished Tempest Runner so jusst read Trail of Shadows #2 and The High Republic (2021) #9-10 so here's a readthrough post (also feat. me simping for Keeve Lourna and Avar)

Get tinified Eemrick Stellan Ghirra Lina and the other people here

Big fan of this pnael Stellan looks so disturbed and Ghirra is unbothered. Wonderful really

Ahhhhh Eemrick and sian are so cool! Love them!!

Banger THR #9 covers I lobve womebn

Ooooh look at Keeve she has piercings nad she cut her hair she's so evil and edgy Nihil I need to kiss her what the hell

Love collecting these kinds of panels but two things 1) Who's the Wookie here? He isn't colored like Burry so it might be Arkoff but I checked Wookiepedia and I couldn't find anything so? another Wookie Jedi? Very cool either way and 2) Ngl I kinda hate how inconsistent the coloring of Keeve's skin is. And it's not lighting because she's at Starlight several times throughout the comic in modst probably the same lighting and her skin is much lighter, and I don't get the inconsistency

Damn she's kinda hotter now who said that

Avar looks so tired now:( Area blonde white woman get some rest pls

Dude I kinda need her to do this to me my neck feels like shit right now maybe that'll help

yeah

hey it's the fucking Yuri magnet go kiss some girls I think it wouldn't fix her but she should give it a try

Well you see in this moment I lost all memory of Keeve having canonically left the order and of her being in Phase 3 because for a second there she had to stay with me and not die now

What a nice couple do they need a third

Damn she should kill me

She stayed with me but at what cost:(

runnin

Went to the Yuri factory (The High Republic content with Lourna Dee) and it's toxic can I still eat it

Ending with a Peach Momoko cover because I need to read three books not all THR) and a few stories before moving on to issue #12
