Started reading Light of the Jedi, and it’s been really good so far—the pacing is good despite the POV shifts, the characters are distinct, and the worldbuilding is very good, especially for an established setting. It feels like someone could read this as a stand-alone sci fi novel with no background with Star Wars and get along just fine.

But one of the things I like the most so far is this kind of general ‘people are inherently good’ philosophy that the whole book kinda has.

Idk how to explain it exactly, but all of the characters feel very realistic and human, and they all try to help others. The captain in the first chapter likes and cares for her passengers, and even knowing she’s going to die, she does everything to save them. The scan techs are scared and have lives and people they want to see again, but they put out the warning first, even though they might’ve survived if they hadn’t. The elected official guy stays behind with to coordinate the evacuation and tries to get everyone else out first. And, duh, the Jedi are Jedi.

It’s just really refreshing for a Star Wars project to have that faith, since most of Star Wars is set in some of the worst times possible: civil war and descent into fascism, life under fascism, rebellion against fascism, civil war, post-war and post-fascism reconstruction, the resurgence of fascism. Those are times where it’s hard to trust anyone, let alone have a hopeful outlook on humanity. For most of Star Wars, the elected officials are corrupt and power-hungry, the normal people feel like it’s everyone out for themselves, and the Jedi aren’t allowed to just be Jedi.

It’s also pretty good worldbuilding; like Yoda said in Clone Wars, the prequel Jedi couldn’t take the right path, they had to take the only available path. But in this time, the Republic is working, people are helping each other, the Jedi are allowed to be Jedi. The Jedi have the ability to take the right path, to stay behind on Hetzal and stop the explosion—in the prequels, Palpatine and the Senate wouldn’t have let them stay behind, and even if they did, they might not have been able to move the Tibanna, because the Dark Side would’ve been clouding everything and making it harder to use the Force.

That the Jedi are able to help and that other people are willing to help really helps emphasize that this is a completely different time period and landscape than most of Star Wars. It really sells the idea that this was the galaxy’s golden age.

Idk I’m rambling, but I really like Light of the Jedi so far, and if it stays good I might get into the rest of the High Republic

PAIN. Painpainpain, it's the Nihil's fault.

"I'm a scholar. I dont have time to play soldier, there's research to do"

"The Nihil have brutalized the galaxy and killed thousands. I'd fight to stop them. Definitively. We carry sabers for a reason".

It's the way it goes back to Light of the Jedi and the Council debating if the Order should aid the Republic to deal with the Nihil after they caused the first Emergencies or sit it out because they're not soldiers and yet, in the end, it all comes down to protect the people of the Galaxy because

It's the way this is exactly the same debate the Prequel Era Council must've had before the Clone Wars and the same reason they decided (draft nonewithstanding) to fight once again; the same change of protocols, rushing through training not because they don't care about their kids but because they have the Force and they are few and the innocents are so so so many and who will stand before those innocents and death if not the Jedi?

PAIN

And now! MORE PAIN:

Marchion Ro I will have your hide for this, you fucking bastard. Look at what you've done! Those beautiful, stunning sabers... this is why they're phased out by the time we reach the Prequel Era :(

"They dont have to be pretty. They just have to [...] keep a Jedi safe [...]. Our work is about saving lives. That's all it ever needs to be"

PAIN!!!

Since I finished reading The Rising Storm yesterday and listened to the Race to Crashpoint Tower earlier today, I just finished all the comics between that and Out of the Shadows (which I'll get to after I read Jedi Trial), so it's THRcomicsposting time (starting with THR Adventures issues that are before The Rising Storm because I haven't posted them before)

Adventures is so good, I love how Lula and Zeen are actually just soulmates, obviously nothing bad is ever going to happen to them and they'll live happily ever after

Favorite Yoda panels from vol 1, incredibly conflicted in my opinion on this green fucker

Tiny masters 🤏 and just Avar and Kantam

They're so cute I need to eat them actually

Had a THR issue in the middle of it and! Reath and Cohmac! two of my thr favs

Oh look it's gender envy and the perfectest woman on earth do they want me to pass out

This is all over the place with comic issues but Ty! Love her so much she's awesome

Trail of Shadows #1 was great! Not at all awful to see this scene visually. Also you don't understand my sister has been singing this song every time I read THR stuff I think and I've been suffering bc it was annoying as hell but now I get it and I:) :) Thanks Ayala for drilling the "We're coming to take you away" into my mind

Bell and Ember break bc they were there and I love this cover

Fuck. I love them.

Can't with how greasy Marcion's hair looks here jesus christ

Savvvvvvv I love her already

Kinda funny to me that aside from like one other comic issue I can't remember the name of rn, this is my first Maz Kanata content Will get to the Sequels and to her eventually, but this is my introduction to her

Oh it's the green fuck again. You aren't wanted here. Get out.

This hug is so funny to me the way they're all leaning down lmao

The girlies in Edge of Balance! This makes me even more confused about LIly's age but whatever

Did not see this one coming, I think this is the first time a Master lost their apprentice in Phase I instead of it being the other way around

This was fun I love talking to myself and then people find these and like it Too tired to do this properly with the specific issues and shit but the comics here are: Star Wars: The High Republic Adventures (2021), Star Wars: The High Republic (2021) #8, Star Wars: The High Republic - Trail of Shadows #1 and Star Wars: The High Republic -Edge of Balance

Queer Star Wars Characters (Round 4): General Bracket Match 6

Sabé | Identity: bisexual | Media: Queen’s Trilogy/Darth Vader comics

Sabé, born Tsabin, was a member of a family of musicians who set their daughter on the same path. However, she was only skilled enough to ever have a supporting role and instead volunteered to be one of Queen Amidala’s handmaidens. She became Padmé’s most trusted operative, pretending to be the Queen during the Invasion of Naboo. After Padmé’s term as queen ended, she remained her operative and worked with Tonra, a member of Naboo’s security force, to attempt to free slaves on Tatooine. They eventually made contact with the White Suns, a Tatioone slave liberation movement. When the Clone Wars began, Sabé once again acted as Padmé’s decoy when Padmé was away from Coruscant conducting an investigation. There she learned Anakin and Padmé were married. However, to make sure Padmé didn’t have her closest confidant, Palpatine blasted Sabé’s brain with the Dark Side until she didn’t want to work closely with Padmé anymore. Sabé spent the rest of the war helping the White Suns.

After Padmé died, Sabé founded an organization known as the Amidalans- a rebel cell consisting of Naboo (including some of the other handmaidens), who sought to avenge Padmé. They attempted to assassinate Vader (who they deemed responsible) on multiple occasions. Sabé focused on deception, pretending to work with Vader to find Padmé’s killer and infiltrating Crimson Dawn. Until she figured out that Vader was Anakin. Remembering how Padmé’s last words (which had been recorded) was “There’s still good in [Anakin]”, she decided to actually become Vader’s operative. Her given reason was that the Empire and Vader did bring order to the galaxy, but it is just as likely she is following her queen’s last order to attempt to bring the man she loved back to the light. She remained by Vader’s side even when her fellow handmaidens came to “rescue” her. Her last appearance in the comics was Vader abandoning her on a beach until she could decide to fully commit to the Dark Side (emotionally speaking).

Sabé had crushes on a handful of people and even a romantic relationship with Tonra, but her most important was her romantic love for Padmé. These feelings were requited, with Queen’s Hope creating a love triangle where Sabé represented ideology and duty and Anakin was selfish love. As we know, Padmé chose Anakin, but a deciding factor was Sabé’s self esteem being temporarily shattered by Palpatine. Her wider moral view seems to have degraded after spending over two decades focusing on avenging Padmé instead of joining the wider Rebellion. However, even working for the Empire, she hasn’t gone completely evil yet- doing things like pretending to kill a bunch of refugees to gain their loyalty instead of actually killing them.

Matthea “Matty” Cathley | Identity: wlw | Media: The High Republic Phase II

Matty Cathley was the talkative (and ADHD-coded) padawan of Master Leebon, the Jedi Order’s representative to Jedha’s convocation of the Force. Matty was assigned to introduce Vildar Mac to Jedha, causing her to spend the lead up to and the Battle of Jedha by his side. She ended up defending the bar Enlightenment from rioters and enforcer droids. During the battle, her master was consumed by the Leveler. Vildar became her new master. After the battle, she was assigned to investigate the Path of the Open Hand with Oliviah Zeveron. She had a crush on Oliviah, and the mission reignited that. However, she was eventually able to process her star-struckness. Their investigation put them right in the middle of the Night of Sorrow. During the battle, when being attacked by the Leveler, Matty was able to push through its fear effect.

Vernestra Rwoh

read Out of The Shadows last year. Reading this scene, even if there is only a paragraph, I felt so much, you know?

It's not common to see AroAce people in media, even these days. Sometimes, it's impossible not to feel a little odd and think that maybe there's something wrong with you, or maybe you're the only person who can't feel that kind of love. It's lonely.

But reading even a little paragraph where I can relate. It means a lot to me.

A lot of people think representation is not important, but I think a lot of people who think have a lot of it . It's normal that they think like that, I'm just have like 3 canon characters... and when I was a child, I had 0.

Acolyte is releasing the first Tuesday of Pride Month to honor its High Republic heritage (the queerest part of star wars).

We already have a trans female actress confirmed for a minor role (Abigail Thorn), a non-binary actor as the main antagonist (Amanda Stenberg, she/they pronouns), and an aroace major character (Vernestra Rwoh).

IT'S HER!!!!!!!!!

OH GOD WHAT CAN I SAY.

I remember being last year at Celebration at the High Republic panel. When Leslye Headland showed up and said that Vernestra Rwoh WAS GOING TO BE IN THE ACOLYTE I just started sobbing.

Because yeah, us asexual people have shit representation. I didn't expect for this character to be brought to the screen. A CANON AROACE CHARACTER, just... It was an indescribable feeling.

So, thank you to all The Acolyte team, Leslye Headland, Justina Ireland and Project Luminous (@claudiagray, @danieljose, @cavanscott)for this character. I know that the Acolyte is still months away, but this already means a lot.

I read nearly all of The High Republic Phase II books in a week (missing just the comics & manga but they're on their way home) and finally read Midnight Horizon (I love all my Padawans and are so proud of Reath!).

Since I'm already deep in I'm wondering if I should do a big reread of *all* of Phase I [minus Horizon (and The Fallen Star bc fuck you Ro I'm never touching that book again im too scarred)] to revamp my memory before Phase III starts this November.

THR has quickly become my favourite "period"/Star Wars material so I just might for the pleasure of it.

#and given i have all of it in physical vers if i hit a point i remember too well i can just skip ahead #the high republic #sw the high republic #star wars

Queer Star Wars Characters (Round 4): General Bracket Match 2

Moran | Identity: mlm | Media: Jedi Survivor

Moran is one of the residents of Rambler’s Reach Outpost, which Cal can have many optional conversations with. He is available from the start of the game, where he sits at the bar, sadly drinking his days away. He is initially rude to Cal, seeing his attempts at rebellion as foolishness. As Cal talks to him more, he reveals more of his past and becomes better inclined to the player. He reveals that he used to be a Republic tax collector, a position he used to cover for a smuggling side business. There he met a man named Dreyo and fell in love with him. When the Empire came to power, Dreyo wanted to leave the business, and when Moran wouldn’t join him, he left on his own. Moran was eventually caught, and he had to flee to Koboh. There he became a fixture in Pyloon’s Saloon, with Greez even allowing him to store his stuff in the back. Cal eventually convinces him to send a message to Dreyo, letting him know where he is. Moran does so, grumbling all the way and letting Cal know that there’s a good chance the message won’t be received. However the prospect of reuniting with Dreyo makes him marginally more optimistic and kinder to Turgle.

Leox Gyasi | Identity: aro/ace | Media: The High Republic Phase I

Leox Gyasi was the pilot/captain of the ship the Vessel, who ended up entangled in the discovery of the Drengir on the Amaxine station, a diplomatic mission with the Hutts, and the fall of Starlight Beacon, becoming a trusted ally of the Jedi. He was created to be an extreme subversion of the archetypical Han Solo-inspired scoundrel archetype. He’s a space hippie and what you’d get if Yoda wasn’t a Jedi and smoked spice instead.

He crews the Vessel with his found family consisting of the living rock Geode (who does fuck) and the young Affie Hallow- who became the captain of the Vessel after the dissolution of the Bryne Guild. He’s a fun guy with an appearance inspired by 90s Mathew McConaughey.
