Seriously I am so kriffing happy rn

I LOVE ONE (1) JEDI MADE OF GOO!!!!!!!!

[galacticrambler]

Keeve Trennis, Sskeer, Lourna Dee, and company look to rescue a young Yacombe child from the treacherous grasp of Baron Boolan. Oh, the horrors that await.

Boolan, once a member of the Path of the Open Hand from Phase II of The High Republic, is a terrifying Ithorian who Marchion Ro has entrusted with making the Nameless more creepy and more deadly. He’s also experimenting on young Force sensitives to turn them into weapons for the marauders, hence the capture is the Yacombe girl.

Knowing that there are Nameless on board, our heroes decide that the boarding party will be Sskeer, Tey Sirrek, and Lourna Dee. Obviously, they run into trouble, and Dee going off script and planting explosives everywhere is, of course, part of the reason.

The book looks as great as all of these High Republic ones have. We’re truly living in a blessed time. The artwork continued to be outstanding. The visual of the Nameless in the tank that had been experimented on? Scary stuff.

We have known the fate of Keeve for some time now; however, we still have a few books remaining. I can’t wait to see how we get there.

I can’t believe there are only two books remaining in the main Marvel run of The High Republic. What a treasure.

The High Republic #4

That was pretty solid. It's interesting how the twins have fallen apart from one another. I didn't see that coming and I'm enjoying it. Especially the almost dark side use. Orbalin out of his suit is ridiculous and I love it! Just a blob with a lightsaber. It's what I'm here for! Also, Sskeer maybe having gone crazy sounds really emotionally changed and I cannot wait to see this all play out. It should be great!

Jedi Master Nubarron is a sentient, telepathic cloud who sleeps in a pipe.

OrbaLin is like 5 liters of slime in a space suit.

I like to make aliens in star war more alien. What is the point of having your character be Not Human if they’re just going to be a Human with funny ears? No. Caffeine is poison and Ahsoka echolocates and Kit Fisto can taste your emotions. Sometimes people are cold blooded. Plo Koon can’t have oxygen and I WILL make it a plot point.

Elzar Mann, Zookeeper.

Stellan Gios, Incorrigible Teacher.

Lina Soh, Optimist.

OrbaLin, somehow More of an Incorrigible Teacher than Stellan Gios.

Elzar Mann, Promiscuous Zookeeper? Slutty Zookeeper? Who cares, we love him.

Bell Zettifar, having a rough week.

OrbaLin basically saved the day in The Rising Storm. Without him, they don't get the comm arrays set back up for reinforcements and the Nihil take a BIG W. Lecturing while blocking and basically destroying your opponent is such a class act by the way.

random sw headcanon #8:

Ugor can divide themselves into multiple fully-autonomous individual entities.

This comes in handy in certain situations where, say, one needs to be on the battlefront on one planet at the same time one needs to be giving guided tours of the Jedi Archives on another.

Lula makes me so happy but girly you might die in a sec pls get yourself knighted

Beautiful panel. Beautiful Daniel José Older (the comic writer) in the bottom right corner. great ending. certainly a choice not to show the fall of Starlight here

I understand Emerick on a spiritual level that's all I'm gonna say (Loooove the vibe of this outfit, such an early-development ANH fit with the lightsaber and all)

scratch that I am not sure I want to

Beautiful cover you've got there does it panifull parallel the first issue's cover oh it does ok fuck you man

I support women's wrongs

HOLDING THE BEACON TOGETHER. SAME AS ALWAYS. oh jesus

I'm so not emotionally prepared for phase III so gonna take a months long break with Phase II that would go so well for me

THR variant covers Deekriss my beloved

For Light and Life... For Light and life man

from THR Adventures #13 and the FCBD issue I'm gonna be sick I love them so much

Trail of Shadows covers are so pretty I love Emerick and Sian

Emerick killing one of The Nameless is like probably the most badass thing anyone has ever done in phase I tbh

Lourna don't freak out but there's a bug next to you. It's short and blue and it's gonna kill Asgar plssss kill it. please.

Is this a dance party. what are you doing. (Contrary to everything I said I do not hate Marchion Ro I just think it's funny to dunk on him)

me, behind on THR comics, getting spoiled that gay things happen with Tey and Vildar:

me, behind on THR comics, stumbling across the fact that OrbaLin lived:

[galacticrambler]

I’ve been really digging the Star Wars comics set during the High Republic Era. Cavan Scott and the company’s latest from Marvel, Star Wars: The High Republic # 9 continues this excellent trend.

The story of Marvel’s main story in the The High Republic Era chugs along. We’re almost done. I can’t believe it.

The attack on Baron Boolan’s hideout is partially successful. Our heroes rescue the young Yacombe girl that had been kidnapped; however, in the process they lose at least one of their own. One thing about the High Republic that I’ve loved is that they’ve never pulled their punches. If a character needs to die to progress the story, they do.

Honestly, I wasn’t expecting the death of Terec. I thought, “Surely, the twins have been through enough”, but nothing is ever enough for Cavan. This was sad. I figured Orbalin was the goner. Or Tey Sirrek would sacrifice himself.

An excellent job of creeping me out with the Nameless creator that was still fully moving around without its severed head. That was terrifying.

The twist at the end, making you think Sskeer went willingly with the Nihil, was excellent. I was legit mad for a little bit while reading.

What a great book. I can’t wait to see how it ends in the next and final book in the series.

[kanerallels]

Thanks for the answer!! And I don't mind that it's long, don't worry lol!

I really like Stellan, too, although Loden and Bell are probably my favorite Jedi. And YES, I remember that scene with OrbaLin!! That was really cool!!!!

I liked The Rising Storm, too, although personally Into The Dark will always be my favorite (possibly because that was the first one I read). Still, The Rising Storm was AWESOME.

Thanks again for answering!!!! It's great to meet another High Republic fan!

Hi!! So, not to harass you with asks and stuff, but I kinda desperately want to know which is your favorite High Republic book and who your favorite Jedi are and if you have a favorite minor character and what you think of Into The Dark. If that's okay?

hi!! dont worry about that lol i love talking about the high republic!

my favorite book is probably The Rising Storm, with Out of the Shadows as a close second. i loved the short chapters in rising storm, partially just because short chapters are cool and partially because it helps with the various viewpoints, since they're transitioned between quickly enough that it doesn't feel like you've left one of them behind for ages. its also easily the most emotionally damaging star wars book ive read, to the point where months later i still haven't gotten over it. I've seen a few people be frustrated with out of the shadows because of how slow moving it is, but the limited plot for the first part of it allows for a lot of character work which i honestly prefer to plot, so that doesn't bother me at all.

favorite jedi is stellan for sure I love him with all my heart and also vernestra because shes awesome and very cool, and i relate to her (and reath) more than any other jedi in any era. they're all amazing and that's part of what i love so much about this era, that i thoroughly enjoy all povs and stories because i like everyone, but stellan and vern are definitely my favorites.

favorite minor character is probably OrbaLin, an archivist who appears in the marvel comics line and the rising storm, because of a scene in trs that was awesome but I'm not gonna describe it to avoid spoilers. if you haven't read it youll know what i mean when you get there and if you have you probably do already.

into the dark is weird for me because it never quite clicked the way all the other high republic stuff has, somehow. i still enjoyed it, just not as much as the other content, though i love reath and cohmac and am very grateful to itd for introducing them lol. i feel like id like it a lot more or if not at least sort out what my issue with it is on a reread but i cant reread stuff less than a year after reading them first (i end up enjoying them less if i do that) so ill have a wait a bit first. i do intend on doing that though because id love to enjoy all thr content equally.

I'm still figuring out how tumblr works so im just gonna respond to your response to my ask here lol. youre right that the tags here seem kind of empty which sucks :( if you have discord im in a server i can send you an invite to with quite a bit of thr discussion which has been awesome. it's great to hear that you're planning on reading the junior reader books! a test of courage is a great introduction for vernestra as well as imri and they both get larger roles in the future so its cool to have seen that portion of their story. race to crashpoint tower is a tie-in to rising storm so it's less of a standalone story but it's a great supplement to trs and handles a plot line that was mentioned, cast aside, and then mentioned as resolved in trs, so that's cool to see.

this ended up being really long lol sorry about that. as i said i love talking about thr :D
