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.

[ct-hardcase]

in case you’re wondering about my jokey I-don’t-take-this-as-canon ataraxia crew love diagram thoughts:

-Lourna is very mad that Sskeer is her type. Will not go for it.

-Tey is less mad that Sskeer is his type. Knows this is probably a Vildar rebound. Won’t hit bc Sskeer’s a mess.

-Sskeer is too in the throes of it to see any of this, *but* had latent emotions toward Goonral. Oops.

(However, if he were having one less iota of a mental crisis, both Lourna and Tey seem to be his type. Keeve gets exactly One (1) win out of this situation)

-Keeve and Lourna both have weird enemy-mine emotions running around one another. How to define them? They don’t know either!

-OrbaLin thinks Tey is attractive but is normal about it

-Keeve and Terec both have it bad for each other with no confirmation it’s mutual since they have the entire plot to deal with and this is not a love story.

-Ceret is busy trying to juggle everyone else’s emotions on top of their own but as soon as they get a moment of clarity they’ll be exasperated

-(Ceret is also very dutifully not snitching about Terec’s crush to anyone. Sibling code, you know?)

-Kew-For also wonders why he has to deal with this bullshit. Would be bonding with Ceret over it if not for the inevitable grudge + guilt combo

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.

[brachiosaurus-on]

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.

[starguysays]

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.

asgcgsakfjhgfa ok. Star Wars The High Republic phase I comics reading the fall of Starlight edition. picking up directly from where I dropped last time (2 minutes ago) with the end of THR Adventures #13

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)

First of all fuck you second

Just remembered I didn't source my last THR reading post brb gonna do it to cope

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.
